Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1267 - 601: Pouring Out True Feelings

"Little brother, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Yang Mei interrogated Liang Yuan with a hint of nervousness.

Although she had anticipated Liang Yuan’s surprise and delight, the mixture of emotions she perceived left her somewhat flustered.

Liang Yuan gazed up at Yang Mei, noting her apprehensive expression, and couldn't help but shake his head.

He softly embraced her, her delicate frame within his arms felt like a cherished treasure, handled with a gentleness he once feared would be too firm.

He murmured, "Sister Mei, I am exceedingly happy and thrilled."

"I never once dreamed that before the flood, someone who struggled to find a partner could not only encounter you but also meet such remarkable women as Ding Yan, Song Wen, and Dong Yan."

"You understand, prior to the cataclysm, women of their caliber wouldn't have spared a second glance in my direction."

"I distinctly recall an instance when I shared an elevator ride with you. That day, I had just returned from work, enveloped in my own sweat, yet the fragrance you wore was utterly captivating."

"But at that moment, your sophisticated attire made me feel utterly inadequate, and I dared not even approach you closely."

"My only recourse was to snatch surreptitious glances at your reflection in the elevator's polished doors, catching glimpses from the corner of my eye."

"Who would have ever envisioned that one day, you would bear my child?"

Liang Yuan whispered his heartfelt emotions close to her ear.

Before the flood, he was truly just an ordinary, unremarkable office worker.

Exploited by his superiors, pressured into drinking by clients, and ultimately abandoned by his girlfriend.

His predicaments were likely shared by many young individuals of that era.

Yet, following the devastating flood, the entire world underwent a radical transformation.

The advent of superpowers presented countless opportunities for young men like Liang Yuan.

Amongst these individuals, some succumbed to the corrupting influence of power, devolving into the very types they once detested.

Others, however, wielded their newfound superpowers to construct havens, safeguarding communities of kind-hearted souls.

Gazing at the beautiful woman cradled in his arms, a torrent of emotions overwhelmed Liang Yuan.

"From this day forward, I pledge to dedicate myself more fervently to my cultivation, tirelessly enhancing my abilities, and ensuring a secure and worry-free environment for you and our forthcoming child."

Yang Mei was instantly overcome with emotion, tears welling in her eyes.

Such declarations, she had heard countless times throughout her life.

Given her striking appearance and alluring figure, numerous men had vied for her attention.

Many had made grand promises to her in the past.

Nevertheless, she recognized that Liang Yuan stood apart from all those men.

He possessed a genuine resolve to fulfill every promise made to her with his absolute best.

"Little brother..."

She clutched Liang Yuan tightly, burying her lovely face against his broad chest, her voice thick with emotion as she confessed, "Sister feels profoundly fortunate and blessed to have met you."

"Sister once believed her life would simply continue as it was."

"Merely existing alongside a man devoid of genuine affection."

"Sister never dared to imagine a life as fulfilling as this one."

"While the heavens inflicted the flood upon humanity as a punishment, for me, it became an opportunity for a new beginning."

The two souls bared their innermost feelings, basking in each other's shared warmth.

Simply nestled together on the sofa, acutely aware of each other’s body temperature and the comforting rhythm of their heartbeats.

Outside, snowflakes drifted down, and the frigid air howled fiercely.

Within, the radiant glow of mutated sunflowers illuminated them, creating an atmosphere as warm and inviting as a spring day.

"Do you have a preference, a boy or a girl?"

Yang Mei suddenly lifted her head, posing the question to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan paused for a moment in thought, then smiled, replying, "For my child, their gender holds no consequence; I shall love them all equally."

"What truly matters is that their mother is you."

Yang Mei’s face instantly lit up with a smile, yet she playfully persisted, stating, "I lean towards a boy being preferable. A son like you is bound to achieve great success."

"It wouldn’t be ideal if he inherited my traits."

"And what exactly is wrong with inheriting a part of you? You possess such stunning beauty and a remarkable figure, unlike me, a coarse man who can barely manage to cook."

"Cooking is hardly a skill to boast about. I am weak, easily frightened, and utterly lacking in courage."

"If he were to resemble me, he would undoubtedly face bullying in the future," Yang Mei confessed softly.

Liang Yuan lightly tapped her on the posterior and confidently asserted, "Who would dare to provoke my child?"

Yang Mei erupted into laughter, her face radiating pure happiness.

"Am I considered an older mother now? With the absence of current medical technology, like ultrasounds and prenatal testing, we cannot perform those examinations anymore."

Contemplating the upcoming arrival of their child caused Yang Mei to experience another wave of anxiety, tinged with worry.

Liang Yuan readily understood her apprehension, typical for a first-time mother expecting her inaugural child.

He offered words of reassurance, comforting her, "Have no fear, even without these advanced medical technologies, have you forgotten that we are now superpower users?"

"Is not spiritual power far more potent and versatile than technologies such as ultrasounds?"

"However, your mention of it has sparked an idea: I should discuss this with Doctor Yang and his wife. Spiritual power can penetrate matter and visualize internal organs within the human body. It might be feasible to develop medical equipment analogous to ultrasounds and B-scans."

Yang Mei felt a significant easing of her concerns upon hearing this.

Liang Yuan added, "Besides, you are only 28 years old; how could you possibly be classified as an older mother?"

"Before the flood, how many people found partners only at thirty."

"Besides, young people then didn’t exercise, sat for long periods, stayed up late, and had poor physical fitness, leading to many problems and difficulty conceiving."

"But it’s different now, in the post-apocalyptic world with floods, everyone awakened to superpowers, significantly enhancing physical fitness, so the baby will surely be healthy."

"Think about our parents’ generation, they were still working in the fields at seven or eight months pregnant."

"There weren’t various check-ups yet they were fine, weren’t they?"

"Don’t be too anxious, everything’s covered with me."

Liang Yuan continuously comforted Yang Mei, easing her emotions.

At the same time, he understood that pregnant women needed companionship most during this time.

Fortunately, the affairs of the Three Great Sects and the military are almost all handled now.

Next, they just need Zhao Kai, Li Qinghua, and the others to take over these subsequent tasks.

He finally has time to accompany the beauty by his side.

Moreover, his strength has already reached the middle tier of the genetic map, and now the gene recombination progress needs to be pushed from 5% continuously, to further enhance his abilities.

This process is a meticulous effort, gene recombination is the gradual restructuring of all genes within the body.

Liang Yuan’s current progress is only at 5%, the higher the progress, the higher the completion of the genetic map, naturally increasing combat power.

During this process, all attributes will also rapidly improve with the deepening degree of gene recombination.

It is unknown what level the Four Major Attributes will reach when the gene recombination degree hits 100%.

Liang Yuan chatted with her for quite a while, considering her pregnancy, he led her to the bedroom to sleep early.

Pregnant women should not stay up late, it’s bad for their health.

If it were before, no matter what Yang Mei said, she would wait for Ding Yan and the others to return together, have something to eat before sleeping.

But now it’s no longer feasible, all needs are centered around the pregnant woman.

Liang Yuan carefully helped her back to the room.

Yang Mei laughed and cried, saying: "Don’t be like this, I’ve just conceived, not that weak."

Liang Yuan solemnly replied: "That won’t do, we must be careful, I heard that the first three months are the most crucial."

Yang Mei, having never been pregnant, was also a bit nervous upon hearing that, it’s wise to be cautious.

Liang Yuan accompanied her to rest on the bed for a while, only leaving silently using Earth Escape after she fell asleep.

He avoided even using the door, fearing that opening it would make a noise and wake Yang Mei.

However, in her sleep, Yang Mei seemed to perceive all of this, her mouth curled up unwittingly, face full of happiness.

Upon returning to the bedroom, Liang Yuan went to the kitchen to reheat the meal that Yang Mei had prepared.

Right after the food was reheated, Ding Yan, Song Wen, and Dong Yan arrived together.

"Brother Liang, it smells so good, why are you cooking today?" Song Wen asked in surprise as she changed her shoes upon entering and saw Liang Yuan busy in the kitchen.

Ding Yan also took off her boots, curiously asking: "How do you have time to cook? Where’s Yang Mei?"

Dong Yan kicked off her shoes, ran into the kitchen barefoot, sniffed, and immediately shouted: "I knew it was Sister Mei who cooked by just smelling this."

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, pinching her nose, joked: "You’re the cleverest."

"Yang Mei is resting, she made the meal, I just reheated it, everyone should eat something, aren’t you tired after a full day of meeting?"

Ding Yan came over, washed her hands, and offered to help serve the meal, saying: "Not tired."

Song Wen also joined, washing hands and smiling happily: "Not only not tired, everyone seemed so energized today, it’s unbelievable."

"The threat from the Three Great Sects has been looming over everyone, finally having a home, nobody wants it destroyed by them."

"Now that the Three Great Sects are gone, Yangshan no longer faces threats, and so many new favorable policies implemented, so no one’s feeling tired."

Dong Yan carried a dish outside, chiming in: "Brother Liang, does the Miyuan Rainforest of the Water God Sect really look like a tropical rainforest now that it’s stopped snowing inside?"

Song Wen also expressed curiosity: "Yeah, how can it not snow? Even the Mirage Snake Space over there had snow, and yet this Floating Island manages to fend off such harsh weather?"

Liang Yuan chuckled and explained: "The Miyuan Rainforest’s situation is somewhat unique, it comes with a protective barrier, and it’s a water attribute barrier, seemingly having insulating effects."

"It possesses its own internal ecosystem; once you reach 100 points, I will escort you there to witness it."

The three young women grew quite intrigued, and during dinner, they began to probe Liang Yuan for specifics regarding the conflict with the Three Great Sects.

While Liang Yuan had withheld these particulars during their earlier meeting, now that they were home, the girls were naturally eager for a full account.

Only Ding Yan, amidst her meal, cast a subtle glance towards Yang Mei’s room.

Despite appearing impulsive and prone to confrontation, Ding Yan possessed a keen perceptiveness.

Previously, Yang Mei had never retired early; even if she were asleep, the sound of their return would rouse her to join their conversations.

However, the situation was different today, as Yang Mei had not emerged to socialize with them.

Eventually, unable to suppress her curiosity any longer, Ding Yan delivered a gentle kick to Liang Yuan’s leg beneath the table.

Liang Yuan met her gaze and inquired, "What is it?"

"Is there something developing between you and Sister Mei?"

Liang Yuan immediately grasped her meaning and couldn't help but chuckle, replying, "Nothing is amiss; it’s not what you're imagining."

Song Wen also chimed in, realization dawning on her face, "Brother Liang, Sister Mei typically dines with us. Is she feeling unwell today?"

Dong Yan also directed a questioning look.

Liang Yuan offered a smile and announced, "Yang Mei is pregnant."

These few simple words instantly caused the eyes of the assembled ladies to widen in astonishment!

"What!"

"Sister Mei is expecting?"

"Huh?"

Dong Yan and Song Wen were so utterly taken aback that they dropped their bowls.

Ding Yan, equally shocked, had never foreseen such a development.

The three women displayed a range of reactions; Song Wen’s face lit up with joy, tinged with a hint of envy.

Dong Yan, being the youngest, had an immediate thought: would she soon become a young stepmother?

A flicker of longing and solitude appeared in Ding Yan’s eyes; a woman of her age was not significantly younger than Yang Mei.

Deep within her heart, she had always longed for a family, for the pitter-patter of children's feet.

Her formidable and competitive persona was merely a shield for her vulnerable interior.
