49: The Xu sisters want to team up with Zhao Li

“Hmm? Hubby… eat slowly, there’s more.”

Xu Youyou looked at Lu Ming, who was wolfing down his food, her eyes full of tenderness.

Xu Lulu, meanwhile, kept adding food to Lu Ming’s bowl, asking in an incredulous tone, “Hubby, is the Night Watch Division’s food really that bad?”

“Uh…”

Lu Ming paused, a few grains of rice still clinging to the corner of his mouth.

This wasn’t just a question of whether it was bad or not.

He had been gnawing on dry rations for several days in the Mist Zone.

It was rare to have a good meal, so he was naturally a bit exaggerated.

“Pfft~”

Xu Lulu looked at his embarrassed expression, feeling both tender and amused.

She kissed the corner of Lu Ming’s mouth, “Haha, Hubby, you look so cute!”

Lu Ming took a deep breath, the anger stirred up by Zhao Qingge surging in his heart again.

“Cute, huh? Just don’t cry later.”

He grinned, put down his bowl, and directly scooped up Xu Lulu, the little imp, by her waist.

Xu Lulu was startled and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Seeing the mischievous glint in his eyes, the little glutton suddenly understood.

She made a timid expression and called out to Xu Youyou for help, “Sister! Save me!”

Xu Youyou naturally knew her husband’s disposition; her pretty face instantly flushed, turning red from her earlobes to her jawline, and even her neck took on a faint blush.

She hastily lowered her gaze, “Hubby… it’s still broad daylight. How about I go take a shower first?”

“Alright!”

Lu Ming accepted her bold suggestion, then effortlessly picked her up and strode into the bathroom.

“Ah, I didn’t mean that…” The little lickspittle also panicked, her eyes wide as she gasped.

But once the bathroom door closed, it was too late for anything… As the saying goes, a short separation makes the heart grow fonder.

After a passionate night.

When they woke again, it was already the next morning.

The two sisters lay lazily in Lu Ming’s arms, tear stains still visible at the corners of their eyes.

Lu Ming gently stroked their smooth faces; though his body and mind were content, problems soon arose.

After a night of cultivation, the Tinder value obtained from the two sisters was barely 40 points.

However, they couldn’t be blamed; this was already their limit.

But to unlock a four-star talent, he needed 1000 Tinder points, which would take an eternity.

It seemed it was time to recruit Zhao Li into the team!

However, it was strange; even after breakfast, there was no sign of the aloof older sister.

Could it be that the commotion last night was too loud and scared her away?

Thinking of the 1 Tinder point from that night, Lu Ming smiled meaningfully.

“Hubby, are you looking for Sister Li?” Xu Youyou snuggled into his embrace, her voice still a bit hoarse.

She had been thoroughly exhausted last night, and her voice still carried a subtle tremor when she spoke.

Lu Ming snapped out of it and placed a light kiss on her forehead, “No such thing.”

Whether there was or not, deny it first.

“Hmph, your eyes keep looking upstairs, and you say there’s no such thing.” Xu Lulu pouted, her expression a little jealous.

“Lulu, I see you really haven’t learned your lesson.”

Lu Ming, exposed, didn’t get angry. He just stared at her intently, his eyes becoming quite dangerous.

Xu Lulu remembered the tragic state of last night and timidly shrank behind Xu Youyou, sticking out her tongue, “I was just saying it casually, Hubby, I was wrong~”

Lu Ming chuckled softly and reached out to pinch her cheek, “Dare to be jealous again, and tonight I’ll show you what’s what.”

Xu Lulu’s cheeks flushed slightly, but she still argued, “Who’s jealous? I’m not. Sister and I are eager for Sister Li to help…”

Xu Youyou’s toes instantly straightened, and she quickly covered her mouth.

This naughty girl dared to blurt out anything.

Things were already too preposterous between the two of them.

The thought of dragging Sister Li into it… made her feel weak all over with shame.

She gently patted Xu Lulu’s hand, her eyes filled with endless shyness, “Hubby, Auntie Zhao… she already talked to us. Lulu and I have no objections, as long as you don’t mind us holding you back.”

Of course, this was also a well-considered choice for them.

As Lu Ming became more outstanding, the swarm of admirers around him would naturally increase.

They actually had a good impression of Zhao Li, this outwardly cold but inwardly warm older sister.

The thought of her cool little face being bullied by her own husband inexplicably filled them with anticipation.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Qingge, the angel investor, to have already started orchestrating things.

Unbeknownst to him, she had already won over his two precious wives.

Lu Ming’s fingertips lightly traced Xu Youyou’s flushed cheek, a mischievous smile playing in his eyes, “Mind? You two are my precious treasures; I can’t dote on you enough.”

He suddenly leaned in close, his warm breath brushing against the sisters’ ears, “Besides, didn’t you two find out last night?”

Xu Lulu’s face instantly flushed crimson, and she burrowed deeper into Xu Youyou’s embrace like a startled bunny, muttering muffledly, “Hubby, you’re bullying people again!”

Xu Youyou’s fair little feet retracted, and she pushed his chest, “It’s early morning, and you’re already being improper. Sister Li told us that after she came back with us last time, she resigned from her job with the Law Enforcement Team, but…”

“That day, it seemed Brother Lin and Brother Wang had an urgent matter to find you, but you weren’t around those few days, so Sister Li went to help.”

“Lin Haowen and Wang Yaowen are looking for me?” Lu Ming frowned instantly.

After thinking for a moment, he first dialed both their numbers, but they didn’t connect.

He then dialed Zhao Li’s, but it still didn’t connect.

Lu Ming’s heart sank immediately. He called Chen Ziliang directly, “Ziliang, help me check what Lin Haowen and Wang Yaowen of the Outer City’s Third Law Enforcement Team are doing.”

“Understood, Brother Lu.”

Just five minutes later, Chen Ziliang called back.

“Brother Lu, I found out! But…”

Chen Ziliang’s voice paused, becoming somewhat strange.

Lu Ming urged him in a deep voice, “Hmm? Just say it directly if something’s wrong!”

“Brother Lu, didn’t you solve a missing persons case before? But… but after you were promoted to the Night Watch Division, the number of missing persons in the Outer City not only didn’t stop, but actually increased several times…”

“There are quite a few rumors about you among the Law Enforcement Team, all saying there were problems with the case you handled at the time… Lin Haowen and the others were indignant and personally took on the follow-up investigation.”

Lu Ming instantly laughed in anger.

How bold!

This was no longer just a provocation; this was pulling him from the book of merits and slapping him in the face!

The Xiao Family? The Myriad Gods Sect? Or the Reincarnators?

These arch-enemies instantly flashed through Lu Ming’s mind.

Forget it, no matter what they were, if they dared to dance in his minefield, he’d scatter their ashes!

“Where are Lin Haowen and the others now?” Lu Ming uttered coldly.

Chen Ziliang gave an address, “Jianghe Seafood Processing Plant!”

For such suicidal individuals.

He could only say:

Buddy, your lifespan is dwindling…
