92: Chapter 92 The Tea Master's Midnight Operation

The night gradually deepened.

Under the moonlight, the surface of the Abyssal Sea Region shimmered with an eerie, ghostly blue light, appearing quiet and mysterious.

The fourth rank: many sons and many blessings was like a mobile sea fortress, steadily advancing across the water.

A pale blue energy shield surrounded the hull like a giant inverted bowl, enveloping the entire ship.

This was the Excellent Grade energy shield that came with the fourth rank: many sons and many blessings; it was currently running at maximum power, active at all times.

With the infinite supply of good grade energy stones from the treasure basin, Li Taiping was now quite the wealthy tycoon.

This shield was sufficient to withstand any sudden sneak attack from an Excellent Grade creature, ensuring the absolute safety of everyone on board.

From a distance, the entire Many Children, Many Blessings looked like a blurry, giant sphere of energy moving across the sea, full of sci-fi flair.

If other Survivor saw this, their jaws would surely drop, and they would point at Li Taiping's nose and curse him for being a spendthrift.

One must realize that running this Excellent Grade energy shield at maximum power for one night consumed nearly a hundred good grade energy stones!

That amount of resources was enough to build three or four third-rank duozi duofu hao warships from scratch!

However, the culprit behind all this, Li Taiping, didn't care about any of that at the moment.

He was quietly staying on the third level of the Many Children, Many Blessings, inside his private, extremely luxurious captain's master bedroom, sitting cross-legged and meditating in silence.

He was already at the middle stage of Excellent Grade life intensity; good grade energy stones had become somewhat limited in their effect on increasing his life strength.

But fortunately, he had that heaven-defying artifact, the treasure basin.

good grade energy stones were supplied in unlimited quantities!

By using quantity to make up for the lack of quality, his strength progression speed was definitely not slow.

Just as Li Taiping was immersed in his cultivation,

a series of sneaky footsteps echoed in the second-floor corridor.

Lin Shishi, wearing a thin silk nightgown, was tiptoeing toward the stairs leading to the third floor.

Her beautiful face, which possessed both a classic and modern charm, was currently filled with nervousness and anticipation.

She had put in a great deal of effort to snatch the opportunity to attend to him tonight.

In the afternoon, she had tearfully told Su Mei and the other sisters that she also wanted to awaken her Talent early to share the Captain Brother's burdens.

Only if she became stronger could she better help the team, reduce Captain Brother's pressure, and make him happier.

Her words had been so righteous and moving.

At the time, the naive little Jin Xin had even teased her:

"Sister Shishi, so you also have to please Brother like this behind his back. But Brother can't hear you, so he won't know your painstaking efforts."

Lin Shishi had replied with righteous conviction:

"I am sincere! For Brother, I am willing to do anything!"

That appearance even made Su Mei nod in satisfaction.

Su Mei could see that Lin Shishi was a smart person, a "Salted Fish" who knew how to fight for her own best interests in this environment.

She and Salted Fish had the most in common.

To live is to be lazy and slack off.

The girl knew how to read the room, spoke well, and knew when to advance or retreat.

She liked people like that.

So, she was happy to do her a favor and gave tonight's opportunity to this new "good sister."

At this moment, as Lin Shishi stepped onto the soft carpet leading to the third floor, feeling the aura belonging only to the strong in the air,

she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, complaining in a low voice only she could hear:

"To think that I, Lin Shishi, naturally beautiful, with suitors lined up from the south of the city to the north since I was a child, have remained pure for over twenty years..."

"I didn't expect that today I'd be giving myself to that guy..."

"But then again..."

Her tone shifted, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

"Fortunately, the Captain is the world's number one, he's surprisingly handsome, and has a great body.

Moreover, he can help me awaken a powerful Talent... Thinking about it that way, it's not a loss at all; in fact, it's a huge profit!"

While giving herself this psychological pep talk, she arrived at the door of the third-floor master bedroom.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

Li Taiping's calm and magnetic voice came from inside the room.

Lin Shishi pushed open the door and walked in.

She saw Li Taiping sitting cross-legged on the bed; seeing her enter, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother, it's so late, and you're still cultivating?"

Lin Shishi immediately entered her role. She closed the door and walked gracefully to the bedside with lotus steps, her watery peach-blossom eyes filled with heartache.

"Brother, you're working too hard, sacrificing so much for our home."

As she spoke, she naturally sat down on the edge of the bed, reaching out her soft, boneless hand to gently rest it on Li Taiping's shoulder, saying in an ambiguous yet caring tone:

"Tonight, let Shishi serve Brother well and help Brother relax, okay?"

That voice, that expression, that green tea vibe was simply perfect.

Li Taiping looked at her, inwardly exclaiming "wow."

But he had to admit, this feeling...

was actually pretty damn good!

He didn't speak, but simply reached out and pulled this peerless beauty, who had delivered herself to his door, into his arms.

When emotions run deep, everything is understood without words.

...

...

...

While Li Taiping was enjoying the most primal and pure service provided by Lin Shishi, this top-tier ancient-style beauty,

the second floor of the Many Children, Many Blessings was also not peaceful.

Inside He Yushui's room, the lights were brightly lit.

Yun Jinxin and the Twin Sisters, Lin Qingxue and Lin Weiyu, the three Little Girls, were surrounding her, chattering away.

The atmosphere in the room was quite lively.

"Sister Yushui, don't be afraid, Captain Brother is really a good person!"

Yun Jinxin held He Yushui's hand and spoke with a serious expression.

"That's right, that's right!"

The younger twin, Lin Weiyu, also leaned in, showing off her Talent like a treasure,

"Look, look, this is my Bestialization Talent. After turning into a cat girl, I'm super fast! This was all given by Captain Brother!"

As she spoke, a pair of fluffy cat ears really popped out from the top of her head, twitching playfully.

"Wow!"

He Yushui's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but reach out to cautiously touch the pair of cat ears.

The touch was soft and warm, causing her small face to instantly turn red.

"And mine! Mine!"

The older sister, Lin Qingxue, was not to be outdone.

With a thought, a half-person-tall mini mecha model appeared out of thin air above her palm, hovering and slowly rotating.

"This is my Mecha Summoning, impressive, right!

As long as you become one of Captain Brother's true people, he is very generous, caring, and gentle to his women!"

The three girls spoke one after another, desperately pitching the various benefits of becoming "one of his own" to He Yushui.

"The reason he looks so cold is just because you aren't his woman yet!"

"Don't be fooled by how he usually doesn't talk much; he actually dotes on us!"

"Yeah, yeah, he goes adventuring everywhere alone and finds so many rare and high-level resources; it's all from his hard work!

Captain Brother is really hardworking and powerful!"

"He's willing to let us use those good things; they can make you upgrade to a transcendent life form in an instant!

You can rush straight to the peak of good grade in one go!

Looking at the whole world, that would make you a top-tier powerhouse!"

He Yushui listened in a daze, her heart filled with both envy and nervousness.

She didn't reject the idea of becoming Li Taiping's woman; in fact... she even had a tiny bit of anticipation.

After all, in such an apocalypse, being able to rely on such a powerful, handsome man who was so good to his own people was every woman's dream.

But... this was too fast.

She felt she still needed a little time to prepare herself mentally.

"I... I understand... but... but I'm still a bit shy..."

She lowered her head, her voice as small as a mosquito's buzz.

"I heard... the first time is very painful..."

After all, she had lived for eighteen years, and let alone intimate contact with a man, the number of times she had spoken normally to people could be counted on one hand.

Seeing her shy and timid appearance, Yun Jinxin and the others couldn't help but laugh and were about to comfort her some more.

Just then, with a "beep," the room door was pushed open from the outside.

Su Mei walked in with elegant steps.

She glanced at the chattering Little Girls in the room, then at He Yushui, who was about to bury her head in her chest, and let out a laugh.

"I say, why are you all talking so much nonsense to her?"

Su Mei walked up to He Yushui, reached out her finger, and gently tilted her chin, forcing her to look up.

That powerful aura caused He Yushui's body to instantly freeze.

"Little sister, what is there to prepare for in this kind of thing?"

Su Mei's voice carried a hint of unquestionable dominance.

"Listen to Sister. Tonight, we'll wash you clean, pack you up, and throw you directly onto Li Taiping's bed. One step to the stomach, and everything is solved."

"Ah?!" He Yushui was so frightened by these bold words that her small face turned as red as a cooked shrimp, and she didn't even dare to talk back.

Su Mei's aura was simply too powerful; in front of this woman, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Pfft." Yun Jinxin and the others looked at He Yushui's cute reaction and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just then, another small head peeked in from outside the door.

It was Yu Tong.

She blinked her large, curious eyes and said in a low voice:

"Sister Mei, I'm afraid tonight won't work... I just accidentally passed by upstairs, and I seemed to hear... Captain Brother is still busy..."

Before she could finish, she was pulled in by Lin Weiyu.

"Oh! 'Accidentally' passed by?"

Lin Weiyu pinched Yu Tong's face with a mischievous smile.

"The third floor is the Captain's private territory. How did you 'accidentally' pass by there?

Speak! Was it because you missed Captain Brother and sneakily went to eavesdrop?"

"I... I did not!" Yu Tong's face also instantly turned red, and she stomped her foot in defense.

The room was suddenly filled with happy laughter again.

And at this time, on this lively ship,

besides the two people on the third floor working hard for the cause of human reproduction, only three people did not participate in this pre-sleep night talk.

One was Xia Zhi.

This woman was like an emotionless sword-practicing machine; besides eating and sleeping, she spent all her time practicing her sword in her room or on the deck.

Everyone had become accustomed to her presence and even filled with admiration for her.

After all, if Li Taiping went out to clear a dungeon, Xia Zhi was the strongest combat power on this ship.

Even Su Mei held this woman, who was solely focused on the sword, in high regard.

And the remaining two people were currently gathered together.
