[Ding! Shen Chuchu consumed 1 Mid-Grade Superpower Fruit, returned 100 pieces, already stored in the host's space.]
Happiness Residential Complex.
Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102. "Hmm?"
Lin Lang was eating when he unexpectedly received the notification about the resource return.
He immediately scanned the space with his consciousness.
Sure enough, he found a small pile of purple Mid-Grade Superpower Fruits in the space—
Purple represents uncertain special abilities!
They could be strong or weak.
But to get a mid-grade one right off the bat.
It only shows that this woman, Shen Chuchu, has a bit of luck!
However.
No matter how strong her luck is.
She would still be taken advantage of by Lin Lang—
For every 1 Superpower Fruit she consumes, she returns 100 to Lin Lang! This isn't just taking advantage; it's practically skinning the sheep and eating the meat! Lin Lang's gaze swept over the three women beside him:
Gu Fei, Lü Suran, Tang Lingyu.
All three had each consumed two types of Superpower Fruits and awakened two Superpowers—
Gu Fei had Intuition + Spirit Wood.
Lü Suran had Mind Reading + Beast Control.
Tang Lingyu had Teleportation + Spirit Combat.
Ning Shuangyu had once told Lin Lang:
The more Superpowers a person awakens, the worse it can be; too many can lead to chaos.
Moreover, Gu Fei and the others had average talents and couldn't manage their energy well.
So, Lin Lang planned to give this Superpower Fruit to his other woman! The quirky and ever-changing little demoness from the Jiangbei villa—Xu Xingyao!
After finishing his meal.
Lin Lang said to the three women:
"I'm going out for a bit. Stay at home and don't go out unless necessary."
"Okay."
The three women agreed, watching Lin Lang leave.
After he left, Lü Suran sighed:
"Is Lin Lang going out again?"
Gu Fei, accustomed to it, replied, "It seems so."
Tang Lingyu said:
"Definitely off to find another woman!"
...
[I'll be there soon]
Lin Lang sent a WeChat message to Xu Xingyao.
[Got it, meow!]
Xu Xingyao replied almost instantly!
From the chat history, it was clear—
These days.
Xu Xingyao often messaged Lin Lang, asking things like:
[What are you doing?]
[Have you eaten? What did you eat!]
[Have you thought about me today?]
But Lin Lang's replies were quite terse:
[Nothing much]
[Yeah]
[Had something]
...
Now, Xu Xingyao was like a young girl in the throes of love!
She wished she could hang around her boyfriend all day long!
However, there were too many women around Lin Lang.
He barely had enough energy to keep up with the Charging.
Indeed, he had no extra energy to spend on these daily affectionate gestures.
Not just Xu Xingyao.
Previously, Ning Shuangyu, far away at the spy base, also frequently messaged Lin Lang.
But Lin Lang responded in the same half-hearted manner.
Over time, Ning Shuangyu gradually controlled the frequency, messaging him only twice a day to say good morning and good night.
Occasionally asking if he had eaten at noon.
...
Lin Lang went downstairs.
At this time, Zhang Dabing and his group had already collected over a thousand pounds of metal!
Besides iron.
There was also steel, copper, aluminum, and so on!
They should be able to proceed to the next step of melting soon.
However, it wasn't particularly urgent.
So Lin Lang didn't inquire further.
...
Walking outside the community.
Lin Lang drew a mass of Blood Mist from the air, forming a platform.
Then he leaped onto it.
Riding the mist.
He flew towards the Jiangbei villa!
A distance of ten kilometers.
For him, it was just a few minutes' journey.
Before long!
He landed at the entrance of Xu Xingyao's villa.
It looked just like last time, with no changes.
He smoothly entered the door.
Going up to the bedroom on the third floor.
However, the moment he pushed the door open.
He froze.
"Hiss—"
A shiny little black cat was crouched on the windowsill of the bedroom, hissing at him! Wearing cat ear decorations.
Her long hair cascaded down her back.
With a cat-eye mask, only her eyes and nose were visible.
A slender, fair neck led down to a half-exposed soft chest! The tight leather outfit accentuated an extremely sexy S-curve! She was also wearing a pair of high heels!
This time, she was a superhero—Catwoman! "Surrender, villain!"
With a nimble leap from the windowsill, she landed cleanly and powerfully!
She really did have a bit of a superhero vibe!
[Xu Xingyao]
[Appearance: 9 points]
[Charging: 21 times]
[Loyalty: 30%]
[Return Rate: 800]
[Combat Power: D+]
[Superpower: Spirit Combat (Level 2)]
Lin Lang had previously given her a Physical Enhancement Fruit.
He didn't expect it to come in handy in such a situation.
Unfortunately.
The overconfident little Catwoman.
With one leap.
Was caught by Lin Lang in a very convenient manner.
"Y-you scoundrel!"
She struggled.
But it was useless.
Lin Lang certainly wouldn't waste this heavenly gift...
...
A few hours later.
Lin Lang was exploring under the covers, asking:
"Where's your cat tail? Why didn't you wear one this time?"
"Hmph!"
Xu Xingyao replied.
"Catwomen don't have tails!"
"Oh!"
But sensing a hint of disappointment in Lin Lang's tone.
Xu Xingyao sweetly added, "Then tomorrow I'll transform into a nine-tailed fox and wear nine tails, okay?"
"Nine tails?" Lin Lang asked.
"Can you fit them all?"
"Mean!"
She playfully punched her chest.
Xu Xingyao then stared at him and asked:
"Did you think about me?"
Lin Lang simply replied, "Yeah."
"How many other women do you have besides me?"
Lin Lang thought for a moment: "For now, just five or six."
"For now?" Xu Xingyao pouted, "Does that mean you plan to keep looking?"
Lin Lang said, "Whether I look or not mainly depends on fate; I'll let things happen naturally."
Xu Xingyao added, "Then you better be careful! Don't get tricked by women; those out there are all bad!"
Lin Lang chuckled.
He took out the Mid-Grade purple Superpower Fruit returned by Shen Chuchu from the space and said to her:
"Eat this."
Xu Xingyao blinked and asked, "Another Superpower Fruit?"
Lin Lang replied, "Yes."
Xu Xingyao opened her mouth, pointing:
"Ah! Feed it to me!"
Lin Lang placed the fruit in her mouth.
[Xu Xingyao consumed 1 Mid-Grade Superpower Fruit, returned 800 pieces, already stored in the host's space.]
As soon as it entered her mouth.
The fruit transformed into Spiritual energy, merging into her body!
Lin Lang patiently waited.
For her to absorb the Spiritual energy and awaken her Superpower.
He usually feeds his women Superpower Fruits.
And waits for them to awaken before he eats himself.
This is mainly to prevent accidentally awakening some Superpower he doesn't like.
For example.
What if she suddenly awakened a beast transformation or something?
Turning into a werewolf on a full moon night wouldn't be fun.
Lin Lang originally thought Xu Xingyao would take a while to absorb the Spiritual energy.
Unexpectedly! In just half an hour! She finished absorbing it!
This indicated that her talent was surprisingly good? [Xu Xingyao]
[Combat Power: D+]
[Superpower: Spirit Combat (Level 2); Illusion (Level 1)]
"Illusion?"
Lin Lang murmured softly.
"Hmm…"
Xu Xingyao sat up from the covers, her fair body fully exposed.
Lin Lang asked, "What ability did you awaken? Show me."
Xu Xingyao, however, tapped her head, looking confused:
"Ability? I just feel a bit dizzy…"
The next moment! A strange energy was released from Xu Xingyao's body! Lin Lang was surprised to find! That energy actually distorted the surrounding space! No! He sensed with his Psychic Power.
The surrounding space remained normal!
It turned out, it only distorted his vision.
That power rippled out like waves on water.
The scenery around him began to change—
Before long!
He and Xu Xingyao found themselves lying on the rooftop of a tall building, with the distant city nightscape lit up! At that moment! A lithe figure jumped onto a nearby railing.
It was none other than the Catwoman from the movies! She lunged at Lin Lang, swinging her sharp claws! Lin Lang remained unfazed.
He closed his eyes.
Under the perception of his Psychic Power.
He and Xu Xingyao were still lying in the warm covers, in a cozy and bright bedroom.
Aside from that.
There was nothing else.
"It seems it's just a visual illusion, unable to cause any real harm."
"However."
"The effect is real; it's also good for scaring people."
