Chapter 381 - Home, Gone
“How long have you been watching me?”
As Jiang Cheng folded his wings, he suddenly said something seemingly out of nowhere.
A Silly Cutie, who had been secretly hiding under the blanket, peeking at Jiang Cheng, felt a bit frustrated.
“Oh my, Skeleton Big Brother is so mean. Why did you have to expose me? It’s so embarrassing.”
A Silly Cutie secretly pulled the blanket closer to her forehead, covering her eyes.
“You’ve already been watching, why be afraid of being exposed? Why are you hiding?”
Jiang Cheng found it a bit amusing. He came to the bedside where A Silly Cutie was, lifted her little blanket, and looked at her pretty face seriously.
“What do you think are the big changes after my evolution?”
“Hmm… my husband is super handsome, hehe.”
A Silly Cutie opened her big blinking eyes, staring at Jiang Cheng in a daze.
Then, she stretched out her hands from under the blanket, about to throw herself into Jiang Cheng’s embrace.
But the next moment, Jiang Cheng dodged…
A Silly Cutie was slightly stunned, her expression suddenly becoming a bit downcast.
Jiang Cheng seemed to notice her slight disappointment and walked over to comfort her gently, “Some things are beyond my control. Sometimes, no matter how sincere the feelings are, they can’t change the facts.”
“I know…” A Silly Cutie lowered her head, looking at the spikes on Jiang Cheng’s chest, her expression somewhat gloomy.
The Great Wasteland’s physical effects were really strong. A Silly Cutie wasn’t sure about the consequences of embracing those spikes.
Although they were now in a subordinate relationship and also a married couple, looking at those cold, glittering spikes still made her feel afraid.
“Did anything big happen while I was evolving?”
Consolation was useless, so Jiang Cheng didn’t dwell on these issues. Maybe after future evolutions, the problem would disappear.
He was more concerned about whether anything had happened during his evolution.
After all, The Great Wasteland changed in an instant, and every moment, some things could affect the situation.
He wasn’t alone anymore. With a guild, friends, and A Silly Cutie, he had many more attachments.
“Nothing happened. How could there be so many big events? Husband, you’re overthinking.”
A Silly Cutie’s eyes flickered slightly.
How could Jiang Cheng not notice such a detail?
Although he couldn’t receive any world information, he could see the changes in his attributes.
Health and Mana had increased 10 times!
Attack power and spell attack power had all increased 5 times, as well as both defenses. How could nothing big have happened?
Moreover, Jiang Cheng was very proficient in reading micro-expressions.
A Silly Cutie’s evasive gaze hid deep worry. Jiang Cheng guessed that a very powerful Boss must have appeared, and A Silly Cutie was afraid he would be in danger, so she deliberately concealed it.
“Husband, after tomorrow’s city attack, can we settle down in Luoyun City?”
A Silly Cutie suddenly asked.
“Settle down?”
Jiang Cheng knew A Silly Cutie was changing the subject, but he didn’t expose her.
“After conquering a city, the guild leader can establish a City Lord’s Manor in Luoyun City, or directly use the existing City Lord’s Manor.”
Jiang Cheng explained to her,
“After becoming the City Lord, Luoyun City can collect taxes, transform the city, and establish its own kingdom.”
“Transform the city?” A Silly Cutie’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she jumped up happily,
“Wow, then I want to transform it into a pink castle, paint all the city walls pink, and I want to plant lots and lots of daffodils, plant them in ponds.”
A Silly Cutie was very excited, already imagining their future world together.
But Jiang Cheng mercilessly interrupted her fantasy, “Mengmeng, daffodils, known as the fairy of rippling waves, are beautiful and fragrant, elegant yet showy. Their flower language is passionate…”
“Moreover, although daffodils have a ‘water’ character in their name, they are indeed planted in soil.”
A Silly Cutie: “…”
“I didn’t know… Why are you looking at me like that? Does Skeleton Big Brother think I’m too stupid?”
A Silly Cutie pouted, looking like she was waiting for him to comfort her, which made Jiang Cheng laugh.
“If you don’t know, then learn, silly girl. You’re my wife now, how could I dislike you?”
Jiang Cheng patted her head.
But Jiang Cheng unexpectedly found that his hand bones seemed to move much more smoothly.
Before, no matter what movement he made, there would always be a creaking sound.
This time, it was as if a few drops of oil had been added to his joints, and there was hardly any stiffness when he moved.
Not only that, but even the creaking sound was gone.
Although he was still a skeleton, just with some additional armor, Jiang Cheng felt that his movements were not much different from those of an ordinary person.
“Wife…” A Silly Cutie’s breath suddenly caught, and she was completely stunned.
It was the first time she had heard Jiang Cheng call her “wife,” and her heart immediately fluttered, leaving her in a daze.
“Husband, can you put away this… this, this, and this… I want a hug.”
A Silly Cutie, moved, pointed at several pieces of armor on Jiang Cheng’s body.
She just wanted to fall into Jiang Cheng’s arms and enjoy this last moment of intimacy…
Outside, of course, big things were happening…
The Nine Nether Three-Headed Hellwolf was frantically slaughtering players. The entire area outside Luoyun City was covered in corpses!
Although there were hundreds of millions of players, Luoyun City was only so big, with only 36 teleportation points, each capable of teleporting 3.6 million people at a time.
3.6 million…
For the Nine Nether Three-Headed Hellwolf, this meant nothing at all.
In fact, A Silly Cutie knew more clearly that even if it wasn’t just 3.6 million players, even if it was 10 million or 20 million, they would still be just fodder.
“Put away?” Jiang Cheng’s heart stirred; he hadn’t thought about this before.
“I’ll try.” Actually, Jiang Cheng didn’t want to see A Silly Cutie suffering like this either.
*Boom!*
With a thunderous sound, before Jiang Cheng could put away his armor, he saw the tavern in front of him explode into ruins.
“Home, gone!”
