Chapter 232
Wally Bell’s Growth, Opening a Large Number of Funerary Artifact Bags! _2 A soft, yet slightly cold sensation brushed against him.
“Is it here?” Yilena asked softly.
“Cough, cough!”
Cao Xing let out two awkward coughs.
However, Yilena didn’t overstep her boundaries and quickly released Cao Xing’s hand.
Amid her gentle laughter, Cao Xing fled Yilena’s residence like he was escaping.
…
After leaving Yilena’s room, Cao Xing glanced at his backpack and nodded to himself.
“Not bad, I still have five Basic Power Hearts and three Elite Souls.”
“Ever since the system update, the drop rate for the Power Hearts has certainly increased.”
“Let’s see if I can use these to strengthen the others.”
Cao Xing checked the battle stats.
He noticed that Xia Yanni and Tong Chuchu had both leveled up to Level 10.
To think that yesterday morning, they had still been Level 1 survivors.
In just two days, they had reached Level 10!
*It really shows just how powerful the [Eternal Power] talent is.*
Seeing that the Sewing Shop was still lit, Cao Xing knew that this mother-daughter duo was still hard at work inside.
Without hesitation, he pushed open the Sewing Shop’s door.
Sure enough, Xia Yanni was still at the workbench, sewing various pelts.
Meanwhile, Tong Chuchu was assisting her nearby.
The only difference was the fluffy white bear at Tong Chuchu’s feet.
When Xia Yanni saw Cao Xing, she paused her work and looked at him with a gleam of joy in her eyes.
“Sir… Good evening.”
Beside her, Tong Chuchu also greeted him: “Big brother, good evening!”
Cao Xing nodded, then glanced at the white bear and said, “Is this Wally?”
Tong Chuchu replied, “Yes, big brother, Wally’s growing so fast! He gets taller every day, and now he’s almost taller than Chuchu when he stands.”
“But Wally is so clumsy, he stumbles when he walks and even zaps me with electricity sometimes!”
Tong Chuchu pouted, puffing up her cheeks and glaring at Wally by her legs.
The little bear cub, seemingly unaware, rubbed its head against Tong Chuchu’s pant leg, letting out a soft “hulu-hulu” sound.
Seeing this, Tong Chuchu’s frustration instantly dissolved as she joyously hugged Wally’s head.
Cao Xing smiled and took out two Basic Power Hearts from his backpack, giving one to each of them.
As survivors, they naturally understood the importance of this gift.
Xia Yanni and Tong Chuchu exchanged glances, their eyes filling with gratitude.
Then, they both bent down together to thank Cao Xing.
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Go ahead, use it.”
“Mm… Thank you, sir…”
Xia Yanni whispered softly and, without hesitation, used the Basic Power Heart together with Tong Chuchu.
Soon, the aura around both of them increased rapidly.
Within moments, they had reached Second Order.
At that moment, the bear cub Wally seemed to sense the change in Tong Chuchu’s aura, shifting awkwardly.
The next second, the cub appeared startled and clumsily sprinted out of the Sewing Shop.
Tong Chuchu exclaimed anxiously, “Ah! Little Wally, don’t run around!”
She turned to Cao Xing and said, “Big brother, I’ll go chase Wally down. He must’ve been scared by my aura. I’ll go calm him down.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Alright, go ahead.”
Tong Chuchu quickly left the Sewing Shop.
Now, leaving him and Xia Yanni alone again.
At that moment, Xia Yanni seemed to recall what happened the previous night. Her cheeks flushed bright red, and she shyly lowered her head.
“Sir… do you… still want to?”
Cao Xing froze for a moment, then understood what Xia Yanni meant. He nodded.
Slowly, Xia Yanni walked to Cao Xing’s side, took his hand, and placed it inside her neckline.
Cao Xing felt the warmth and softness in his palm again.
This woman, who was nearly six feet tall, had legs that were long and straight.
She seemed to know how much Cao Xing liked her chest, so she whispered, “Sir… Yanni’s body will only belong to you from now on…”
The words heightened Cao Xing’s desire even more.
His grip gradually tightened.
Within moments, Xia Yanni’s long legs began trembling, as though she could barely stand. Her entire body pressed closely against Cao Xing.
“Huff… Huff…”
The mature woman rested against Cao Xing’s chest. She was about his height, making them more evenly matched.
Cao Xing held her tall, soft figure as his emotions surged.
*But he knew this wasn’t the right time—Tong Chuchu could return at any moment.*
The two shared a tender embrace.
Soon, they heard footsteps in the distance. It seemed Tong Chuchu was coming back with Wally.
Reluctantly, Cao Xing released the beautiful woman in his arms.
Xia Yanni looked a little disappointed but softly said, “S-Sir… next time, when Chuchu isn’t around, I’ll message you…”
Cao Xing nodded with a light smile, “Alright.”
After speaking, the two straightened their clothes.
From afar, they heard Tong Chuchu’s voice: “Wally, hurry up.”
“Next time, don’t run off so far, okay?”
…
Cao Xing turned and left the Sewing Shop.
The cold night wind roared, cooling his overheated mind.
He continued patrolling the territory.
After walking for a while, Cao Xing found himself near the [Market].
*He pondered: “Based on the last few days’ routine, I should go trade with other survivors around this time.”*
“But I didn’t hunt anything today, nor did I acquire the Life Secret Medicine Recipe, so I don’t have bulk supplies for trading.”
“As for the Cloud Yak milk, I’ll wait until the quantity builds up before selling it.”
