Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1275 - 609: Letter from Cloud Mist Island

Song Wen swiftly rose, inquiring, "Where did you observe this?"

"In the kitchen, preparing food. Brother Liang is seated alone on the sofa," Dong Yan replied.

"What is he doing on the sofa?" Song Wen pressed.

"Reviewing documents."

Song Wen’s gaze sharpened. "Did you ascertain if he was genuinely focused on the documents?"

Dong Yan shook her head. "No, I wasn't paying close attention. The moment I saw that woman, I came to fetch you."

Song Wen’s lip trembled slightly. "Let’s go and investigate." With that, she immediately guided her confidante, Dong Yan, out of the room.

The instant they stepped outside, they saw Liang Yuan placing down documents as Lin Ya emerged from the kitchen, bearing a dish.

Their eyes met as they began to converse.

Song Wen’s attention was immediately captured by Lin Ya’s physique from the side.

Lin Ya, a woman of thirty years and approximately 1.7 meters in height, possessed a strikingly voluptuous figure. Her ample bosom seemed particularly prominent beneath her purple sweater.

Below, loose, high-waisted jeans accentuated her enviably slender waist. Adorned on her feet were fluffy white slippers, contributing to a mature, alluring charm.

This was a captivating allure that both Song Wen and Dong Yan found themselves lacking. In fact, apart from Yang Mei, even Ding Yan didn't possess such an aura.

Witnessing this tableau, Song Wen became instantly wary.

She approached quietly, her voice laced with curiosity, "Might you be Ms. Lin Ya?"

Lin Ya turned, her eyes meeting Song Wen’s. A smile bloomed on her face as she responded, "Greetings, Miss Song, Miss Dong. I am Lin Ya." She extended her hand in a gesture of open welcome.

Song Wen reciprocated the handshake with practiced grace, her smile unveiling her words, "Yesterday, Brother Liang mentioned Sister Mei had found a lady with exceptional culinary skills."

"I hadn't anticipated Ms. Lin would also be so strikingly beautiful."

Lin Ya’s smile deepened as she replied softly, "Thank you; you are also quite lovely." She readily acknowledged her own attractiveness, a trait that disarmed Song Wen.

This candidness led Song Wen to reconsider her initial assessment; this woman didn't quite fit the profile of a seductress.

Furthermore, the gentle and sophisticated demeanor Lin Ya projected made it difficult for Song Wen to harbor any immediate animosity.

Unable to resist, Song Wen glanced at Liang Yuan, playfully inquiring, "Brother Liang, did you perhaps invite Ms. Lin Ya solely for her captivating looks?"

Liang Yuan, catching the subtle undertones, spared a glance at Song Wen and Dong Yan. He immediately recognized the burgeoning jealousy between the two girls.

With a soft chuckle, he responded, "Perhaps you should sample her cooking before casting judgment."

Lin Ya, sensing the palpable jealousy emanating from Song Wen and Dong Yan, felt a twinge of helplessness. Her gaze drifted towards Liang Yuan.

She wondered inwardly if her culinary talents were truly the sole reason for his invitation. Was there any genuine appreciation for her beyond that?

This thought sent a flutter through her heart, her pulse quickening with a touch of nervousness.

Liang Yuan’s perception was remarkably acute. He instantly detected Lin Ya’s heightened heart rate and the subtle shift in her emotional state.

He glanced at her then, assuming her reaction stemmed merely from embarrassment due to Song Wen and Dong Yan’s pointed remarks.

He then addressed the room, "Wenwen, Yanyan, please go and invite Sister Mei for breakfast."

Song Wen quickly responded, "I'll go get her. Yanyan, you remain here." With a knowing glance, she turned and winked at Dong Yan.

Dong Yan, instantly understanding the unspoken message, initiated a telepathic link. "Sister Wen, rest assured, I will stay diligently observe the two of them."

Song Wen’s smile widened as she mentally replied, "Keep a close watch. Brother Liang's current standing is elevated, and many women will undoubtedly be drawn to him."

Dong Yan nodded fervently, an unquestionable agreement evident in her mental response.

Liang Yuan remained outwardly silent, aware that despite Dong Yan’s potent telepathic abilities, their effectiveness was relative to the recipient.

With Liang Yuan’s advanced spiritual power, Dong Yan’s thoughts were far from concealed.

A silent chuckle escaped him internally as he mused on the girls' protective instincts and their keen watch over him.

Shortly thereafter, Yang Mei emerged, refreshed after cleaning up, and joined the gathering for breakfast.

Following the meal, to avoid any undue attention, Lin Ya promptly departed from Liang Yuan's residence.

As Lin Ya’s figure receded from view, Song Wen and Dong Yan noticeably hastened their pace in finishing their meal.

Liang Yuan announced his departure from the table, "I have finished. Please continue; I need to attend to some documents."

Seizing the opportune moment as Liang Yuan left, Song Wen drew Yang Mei aside. "Sister Mei, why did you engage such a bewildering maid?"

Yang Mei looked surprised, inquiring, "What troubles you? Is Lin Ya’s cooking unsatisfactory?"

"Well, the food is quite palatable, but wouldn’t you agree she’s perhaps *too* beautiful?" Song Wen couldn't help but voice her concern.

Dong Yan readily chimed in, echoing the sentiment. "Indeed, yes! And her figure is exceptionally alluring, not to mention her perfectly refined aura."

Yang Mei let out a soft laugh, finally grasping the root of their apprehension.

She offered a calming reassurance, "You two are simply worrying yourselves unnecessarily."

"Besides, Lin Ya and I share a good friendship. I understand her character; she would never act like that."

"Unless your Brother Liang harbors ill intentions, but if that were the case, no amount of vigilance towards Lin Ya would be of any use."

"Moreover, you must alter your perspective. A man’s heart is inherently fickle; you cannot expect to monopolize it."

"What truly captivates him are the enduring sentiments we cultivate over time."

"He gave us his word previously that he would not bring anyone else to reside here. I have faith that he will uphold his promise."

"Didn’t we also reach an agreement then? As long as he doesn’t bring other women back, we wouldn’t interfere with his activities outside, correct?"

Song Wen and Dong Yan, being young and immature, lacked the deep understanding of male psychology.

In contrast, Yang Mei possessed a profound grasp of the intricate dynamics between men and women.

She was acutely aware that given Liang Yuan’s current standing and capabilities, it was unrealistic for him to remain exclusively devoted to one woman forever.

The world was brimming with exceptional women, and any individual with discernment would inevitably be drawn to such an influential and powerful man.

Her strategy was not to restrict his interactions with other women.

Instead, she aimed to become the most significant presence in his heart.

Attempting to control him would only serve to push him toward another.

Only by internalizing this principle could she secure Liang Yuan’s affection permanently.

While this tenet was clear, its practical application proved challenging.

After all, no one relishes the thought of their partner’s affections being divided.

However, the times had indeed shifted. In this era of apocalyptic floods and the emergence of supernatural powers, it was an established truth that the strong reigned supreme.

The age of gender equality had definitively concluded.

Her pronouncements left Song Wen and Dong Yan in a prolonged state of contemplation.

Song Wen suddenly grasped the reason why, despite her prior marital status, Sister Mei had managed to capture Brother Liang’s heart so completely.

Even though Song Wen herself was inexperienced when she joined Brother Liang, it appeared that Sister Mei still held the paramount position in Brother Liang’s affections.

Today, a profound realization dawned upon her.

Sister Mei operated on a far more sophisticated level than she did.

In fact, had Yang Mei not given her tacit approval initially, it would likely have been considerably more difficult for Song Wen, Ding Yan, and Dong Yan to even gain entry!

With this understanding, a sense of clarity began to form in her mind regarding her future course of action.

Yet, comprehending a truth was one matter; fully accepting it required time.

A wave of melancholy washed over Song Wen as she sighed, admitting, "Sigh, I understand everything Sister Mei has said makes perfect sense, but… I just feel a little unhappy."

Yang Mei embraced her gently, patting her back reassuringly, and murmured, "I understand. I truly do."

Dong Yan, due to her youth, still struggled to fully comprehend the complexities of the situation.

She couldn’t help but inquire, "So, if we maintain constant vigilance and prevent them from being alone together, can we effectively avert any potential issues?"

Yang Mei let out a soft chuckle and replied, "It’s not an entirely impossible scenario."

Song Wen chimed in with an nod, adding, "That’s the best we can do under the circumstances."

Meanwhile, within the confines of his room, Liang Yuan was not privy to the conversation between his three women.

His attention was focused on a letter he held, his brow furrowed in thought.

This correspondence had arrived from Cloud Mist Island.

The sender was identified as Zhang Yujiang.

In the missive, Zhang Yujiang extended an invitation for Liang Yuan to journey to Cloud Mist Island and assist in the defense of the Celestial Abyss passage.

It transpired that merely a few days prior, the Celestial Abyss passage had been breached once more.

This time, the fissure was significantly wide, resulting in the descent of numerous formidable mutant beasts, severely taxing Cloud Mist Island’s defensive capabilities.

The letter further indicated that the sheer volume of mutant beasts emanating from the Celestial Abyss might necessitate a postponement of the arms deal.

Furthermore, Li Hanzhong and the other esteemed professors were currently stranded on Cloud Mist Island, unable to depart.

Although presented as an invitation, the letter carried an unmistakable undertone of a desperate plea for assistance.

Liang Yuan contemplated the situation; Yangshan and the military had solidified their alliance.

In the face of the alien creatures from the Celestial Abyss, their mutual ties ought to be stronger than ever.

Word had it that if Zhang Yujiang and his contingent failed to contain the Celestial Abyss passage, a large-scale invasion by its denizens could ensue, imperiling not only Cloud Mist Island.

But also the surrounding regions of Cangqiong Mountain, Mide Mountain, Cangfu Mountain, and Denggong Mountain!

"It appears a visit is indeed necessary. I have yet to encounter these Celestial Abyss creatures firsthand; this presents an opportune moment to gain some understanding of the threats lurking beyond."

"However, concerning Yangshan’s current situation…"

Liang Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly; the population at Yangshan had not yet experienced significant growth, and his departure at this juncture raised concerns about potential raids on his base.

In essence, there was a deficit in manpower, and a scarcity of elite cultivators.

"No, wait a bit longer, at least until Yangshan produces one or even several experts with a main attribute reaching 100 points, then I can leave without worry."

Liang Yuan ultimately decided to wait a bit longer.

Ding Yan is now already reaching 80 points.

With a little more time, at most a month, she will surely reach 100 points.

With the resources Yangshan has now, fully nurturing Ding Yan and others, they could definitely be pushed to 100 points.

Moreover, he also needed time to enhance the progress of gene recombination.

Last time, using five percent of gene recombination power, he could only draw with Feng Jiangong who evolved into an atomic dinosaur.

If he goes this time and can’t overpower the other side, it’s also dangerous facing Celestial Abyss creatures over there.

It’d be better to wait another month.

"Strive to increase my gene recombination progress to above ten percent within a month!"

This process is a bit slow relying solely on hard effort.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately looked at the system.

"Let’s see if there’s anything good in the system lottery that can enhance the gene recombination level."

"System, open the lottery pool!"
