After completely upgrading the team, Hou Ying consumed two-thirds of the crystal nuclei energy “outwitted” from the Jiu Wei team.
The remaining one-third was still a considerable amount, but because it was all energy that did not match their attributes, Hou Ying temporarily stored it. He repeated his old saying, that his next major focus would be on researching how to successfully convert these ability energies and transmit them to them.
“Alright, we’ve had enough rest this time. We’ll start working this evening. I plan to stay here for two days. You all work hard and come back with more crystal nuclei. We still owe a huge debt at the base. However, I am applying for leave to relax with Xuanyuan. Xiaohe, can you and Xiaohai help take care of your younger brother? I don’t have to say more about the others. By the way, you veterans should take care of Wu Nan and the other four more. Don’t let them lose control of their abilities and hurt their teammates.”
Hou Ying had been continuously transmitting energies to them day and night these past few days. Although he also maintained normal rest, he was still exhausted.
No one objected to them leaving the team to spend time with each other. Now, apart from Li Xuanyuan, there were already five level four ability users among them. Everyone else had the ability to protect themselves. It could not be said that there was nothing that could threaten but it was few and far between.
That evening, while Li Hou was still asleep, Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan drove an abandoned high-end convertible by the side of the road and left the team behind.
They did not go far either but went to a Grade 5A scenic spot on the outskirts of Jicheng City. It was initially a good summer resort with pleasant scenery. Currently, it was already an excellent place to go.
Li Xuanyuan cleaned up the zombies in the hotel, while Hou Ying happily cleaned up the selected presidential suite and laid out the bed sheets they brought. Li Xuanyuan covered the room with ivy. The cool herbal fragrance dispelled the sultry heat in the room. The only fly in the ointment was that they only brought drinking water and nothing more for cleaning up the stinky sweat all over their body. Fortunately, Hou Ying was invited here on a business trip before and knew that there was a spring on the mountain. They went to fetch a few buckets of water and took a good bath—Brother Hou even cleverly used the hotel’s shower gel to make himself fragrant.
While wiping his hair, he said, “I just saw a hair dryer. When we leave, I’ll bring it back just for that brat Li Hou to use. Every time I wash his hair, I worry about him catching a cold—”
His voice came to a sudden halt.
Li Xuanyuan untied his bathrobe and casually threw it onto the bed, leaving only a tight-fitting pair of briefs, showing his beautiful figure at a glance. Seeing Hou Ying squinting at him and still swallowing his saliva, Li Xuanyuan said indifferently, “It’s cool.”
As he spoke, he extended his hand and opened the bedside table. There were indeed protections and lubricants inside. He glanced at them and threw them back, saying, “It seems to be bigger than the brand you brought.”
Hou Ying, who originally wanted to appear reserved: “…”
He growled, tore open his bathrobe, and like a wolf, pounced on Li Xuanyuan, sucking and nibbling at his neck and cheeks.
Li Xuanyuan finally burst out laughing. He turned around and kissed Hou Ying, raised his knee to grind against him, and said in a low voice, “You’ve hardened so quickly, that’s good.”
“Boss, I’m about to fucking suffocate to death!”
He forcefully pressed Li Xuanyuan onto the bed, causing their hands and feet to flail around. After a while, they kicked out the last covers on their bodies and rolled together intimately.
“… Fuck. You’re a fucking dog.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Li Xuanyuan, who was clutching the bed sheet so hard that the veins on the back of his hand bulged, cursed as he panted heavily. He raised a middle finger to Hou Ying, causing the latter to move even more fiercely.
“Wejcsejc, tbk mjc P yf j vbu? Gb sbe xcbk atf yluufra vloofgfcmf yfakffc tewjcr jcv jclwjir?”
Ol Wejcsejc lucbgfv tlw, uglaalcu tlr affat jcv tbivlcu yjmx tlr wbjcr.

“Damn, so much nonsense, ah… Don’t go too hard, do you want to fucking kill me!”
Li Xuanyuan cursed, and his heightening desire made him let himself go. When Hou Ying chased him for a kiss, he hugged him tightly.
They messed around until early morning. When they woke up, the sun had already risen. Hou Ying said regretfully, “The sunrise here is quite beautiful. I had planned to take you to see it.”
Li Xuanyuan, “We can’t leave for too long.”
“There’s always time to watch the sunrise together.”
Hou Ying clung to him and rubbed against his face, much like when Li Hou was acting coquettishly.
Without opening his eyes, Li Xuanyuan said, “There’s so little time, do you want to waste it on this kind of thing?”
Hou Ying: “…”
He suppressed Li Xuanyuan again without saying a word.
While things were heating up on their side, Xuanyuan’s home in the Yellow River Base.
There was no news from Hou Ying and his team for six days. The debtors might escape because it was a huge sum of money, so the people below reported this situation to the young lady Xuanyuan Zhen, who was responsible for this matter in the Xuanyuan family.
Xuanyuan Zhen had heard about this team a long time ago. She was aware of the reason for the lawsuit between the Shen family and the Jiu Wei team. This team was recruited by the two forces at the same time and then was reduced into cannon fodder due to the third-level corrosive crystal nucleus. This was Xuanyuan Zhen’s impression of the Li Hou team. She did not have a deep understanding of the other party’s ambitions. The combat power of the Xuanyuan Family was far ahead of the four major families, so of course, Hou Ying’s team was not taken seriously by her.
The subordinates sorted out the balance sheet and the basic information of Hou Ying’s team to Xuanyuan Zhen. Originally, she would not read it carefully, but thinking of her parents’ suggestion that there might have been a Level 4 zombie in the Yellow River Base, she attached more importance to this debt.
Now was the critical moment for the usage of crystal nuclei, yet there were still people who dared to owe them three hundred thousand crystal nuclei. They really were simply tired of living.
But when she flipped through the information of Li Hou Team’s members, she froze instantly.
She stared at the one-inch photo column on Li Xuanyuan’s personal basic form for a long time, and suddenly screamed!
“Miss, what’s wrong?!”
The ability user guarding outside the door was startled.
Xuanyuan Zhen’s screaming stopped abruptly. She stared gloomily at the bodyguard who saw her gaffe for a moment, and then, “Ah!!!!”
She screamed again, screaming in ecstasy.
At three o’clock in the morning that day, Li Xuanyuan and Hou Ying drove back.
The team had already hunted a large number of crystal nuclei in the past two days. They also successfully locked in a second-level lightning-type zombie. They planned to wait for Hou Ying’s return before deciding whether to ripen it or not and if it would be exchanged for the third-level blue crystal nucleus.
Hou Ying thought about it. The third-level wind crystal nucleus was also quite rare and he had already stored a lot of lightning crystal nucleus energy. Because Li Hou was still just a baby and could not consciously control his ability if it was promoted to a higher level, after reaching the first level, Hou Ying did not continue upgrading him. After some deliberation, he decided to raise the second-level zombie and feed it with the lightning crystal nucleus they hunted to ripen it.
They did not hide this matter from Wu Nan and the other four.
The five of them thought that nothing would surprise them anymore after they became high-level ability users, but they did not expect that their thinking was still too immature.
Hou Ying was busy using Li Xuanyuan’s wood ability to coax Li Hou. The child felt abandoned by his two fathers. After crying a lot the day before, he stopped crying, but he kept spitting out milk. No matter how much he was fed, he would spit out half of it. If he was forced to drink, no one could escape his lightning. Even Meng Hanghai and Wang Hehe were electrocuted.
“This brat has a really big temper.”
After finally coaxing him, Hou Ying hugged him with a smile and kissed his forehead as he complained sweetly.
Li Xuanyuan: “That’s okay, at least no one would abduct him in the future.”
Hou Ying was amused that he had such worries. After putting the child back in the cradle, Hou Ying, who had relaxed for two days, volunteered himself and Li Xuanyuan for the night vigil to give everyone who had worked hard to hunt zombies a good rest.
On the roof of a truck, the two were lying on a recliner woven with soft vines, looking up at the starry sky.
“The Earth is still rotating, the satellites are still operating, and the stars are still so far away. Why is there such a big change in the weather? Did the meteor shower push the Earth off its orbit after entering the atmosphere?”
Hou Ying suddenly asked.
“Huh?”
Li Xuanyuan was distracted for a moment and did not hear what he said.
Hou Ying got up and leaned over to look at Li Xuanyuan who was lying with his hands folded behind his head. He frowned slightly and asked, “What are you thinking, Xuanyuan?”
The man did not answer.
Hou Ying: “I had already felt that you were hiding something from me. Although I couldn’t guess what it was, I knew it was very important. Now, aren’t you going to tell me?”
Li Xuanyuan straightened up and slowly approached Hou Ying. Just as Hou Ying thought he would whisper something in his ear, Li Xuanyuan suddenly tilted his head and quickly kissed the corner of his mouth.
Hou Ying was stunned.
Afterward, he smiled and rolled his eyes, “I’ll give this answer a perfect score.”
Li Xuanyuan also had a smile in his eyes. He hugged Hou Ying and stroked his back as he said, “I just haven’t figured out how to say it and I also need some time to confirm it.”
“Well, I’m still easy to fool. As long as you sacrifice a little bit of color, I’ll believe you when you say that the sun is square.”
Li Xuanyuan was amused. When Hou Ying kissed him, he responded affectionately.
The temperature in the first half of the night was still scorching hot, making people emotionally aroused. The pleasure that had accumulated for two days quickly set off the familiar tenderness along the parts that touched each other, causing them to feel uncontrollable impulses. Hou Ying pressed him back on the reclining chair and just as he reached for his waistband, he suddenly stopped.
“Someone’s coming.”
He kissed Li Xuanyuan’s moist lips with an unfulfilled desire, stood up displeased, and rang the warning bell.
Before everyone in the lounge could come out, a speed ability user approached at an extremely fast pace. Hou Ying’s eyes narrowed. This person’s speed was even faster than that of Qiao Dayo, who had level-four speed ability!
Hou Ying had just yelled for the other party to stop, when suddenly, a wooden vine that appeared from nowhere came towards him like a whip, followed by a shout.
“Bastard!”
Hou Ying was about to move when Li Xuanyuan suddenly pulled him behind his back and received the force of the whip in his stead.
Someone is not a happy camper… Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
Thanks for the update
I think “color”/”sacrifice a bit of color” is referring to bedroom things loll. Besides literal colors, 色 is also used in many “colorful” combinations. A quick lookup shows 色相 can also refer to sex/sex appeal.
Thanks for translation i love zombie novel please update more 🙏 😊
Thanks for the update!
