Chapter 69: Chapter 59 Acceptance_1
Lunch was simple, but it was clear that care had been put into the meal, as a variety of dishes were made with the limited ingredients.
Chen Li and her three family members sat down with Li Ming and Zhang Yuan to eat, and Chen Li kept glancing at Li Ming in surprise throughout.
Li Ming paid this no mind. Being under the same roof, it wasn’t like he could hide his basic peculiarities. And he couldn’t discuss the issue of the mask, so of course, he had to attribute it to his supernatural ability.
Moreover, Li Ming reasoned that, if his power existed, it wasn’t possible that he was the only one to have it, and sooner or later, he was bound to encounter others. Hence, instead of hiding it, why not boldly mention it and thus deepen their respect for him?
If they had not started living together, it would be fine. But now that they lived together and interacted daily, there wasn’t much that couldn’t be said.
Furthermore, he noticed a gradual change in Chen Li’s mother’s attitude towards him after they moved in.
This could be seen from how Chen Li’s mother initially avoided Li Ming upon seeing him, to how she now voluntarily did chores and greeted Li Ming.
Probably, recognizing that things were set and even though she was reluctant to accept her daughter’s betrayal of her husband and connection with another man, she had to face reality and adjust her mindset.
Li Ming had suspicions about this, which is why he held less opinion of Chen Li’s family and openly mentioned his powers in front of them.
It wasn’t until after lunch that Li Ming brought a blushing Zhang Yuan up to the third floor. Chen Li was able to tear her gaze away only once Zhang Yuan’s fluttering short skirt disappeared from view.
“Lily, after washing the dishes, I’ll take Yinyin for a nap in the afternoon.”
Suddenly, Chen Li’s mother, who was sitting in front, stood up and collected the empty bowls, addressing Chen Li.
“Ah, that’s okay, I can handle it.”

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Chen Li seemed taken aback. Realizing that her mother had probably seen her staring at Li Ming during the meal, she responded hastily, her facial expression somewhat awkward.
“I’m also free, and Yinyin likes sleeping with me.”
Chen Li’s mother glanced at her and smiled, then went to clean the dishes and pots in the kitchen.
Watching her mother, Chen Li was left chewing her lip, somewhat at a loss.
After her mother returned from the kitchen, Chen Li remained seated in her chair.
“I’m taking Yinyin for her nap, you don’t need to worry about her afternoon sleep.”
Leaving behind these words, Chen Li’s mother picked up Yinyin and headed to her room. As the bedroom door closed, Chen Li shifted slightly in her seat, looking upstairs before pursing her lips.
“Mother, you take care of Yinyin then.”
“Don’t worry.”
After communicating through the door and hearing her mother’s response, Chen Li could no longer resist and quietly climbed to the third floor.
“Whew~whew~”
Once she reached the third floor, Chen Li let out a small breath and gently knocked on the door: “Ming~Brother Ming, I’m here…”
Just as she finished speaking, the door swung open, and a somewhat embarrassed Chen Li was immediately embraced.
“Next time, call me husband.”
“…Okay…”
Chen Li looked at Zhang Yuan beside her, her cheeks flushing bright red, her voice barely audible.
Zhang Yuan also seemed bashful, shifting from lying down to lying on her stomach.
“Perfect.”, Li Ming thought to himself.
“……….”
By three in the afternoon, the room was tidied up, and Chen Li and Zhang Yuan, after dressing and tidying up the bathroom, sat on either side of Li Ming.
They had worked together in battle before, but for some reason, their relationship seemed to have deepened a lot this time, even with Li Ming.
Although Chen Li had grown closer to them, she was nowhere near as close to Li Ming as Zhang Yuan was, like how Zhang Yuan could plop herself right onto Li Ming’s lap, while Chen Li would only sit beside him.
“Hubby, how exactly can you find people?”
Zhang Yuan stealthily glanced at Chen Li on the other side, then couldn’t help but ask Li Ming.’
Hearing this question, Chen Li also turned to look at Li Ming, visibly puzzled by what he had said.
“During our first reconnaissance mission, I found a spontaneously organized gathering place two kilometers away. There were a few dozen men and women there and based on what I observed, getting them to work for us in exchange for food wouldn’t be a problem.”
When Li Ming spoke of the gathering place, his tone and language were very casual. It seemed like he just needed to provide food, and then he could easily make those people work for him.
Zhang Yuan only half-understood but seeing that her man seemed determined she didn’t continue asking. On the other hand, seizing the opportunity, Chen Li couldn’t help but ask, “What’s this ‘superpower’ you mentioned?”
While speaking, Chen Li saw Li Ming looking at her and couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.
“You’ve seen it too, right? How much my body has changed compared to before the apocalypse. The superpower I awakened when the apocalypse came is responsible for all of this. I discovered that, with hard work, it could possibly make my body much stronger…”
Li Ming spoke, slowly and meticulously, with impeccable logic, something that even Zhang Yuan who had heard him speak of it before had never heard him explain in such detail.
Unable to resist, she draped her long legs over Li Ming, her alluring buttocks wrapped in a miniskirt sat on Li Ming’s right leg as she listened attentively. Her eyes occasionally glanced at Li Ming’s left hand, which kept delving into Chen Li’s collar. Her feet were hooked together.
“Since that day, I’ve been training seriously every day, all to gain more power to fight against the zombies. Zhang Yuan knows this too. From the day the apocalypse came, I never stopped training.”
Li Ming finished telling his story of how he obtained his superpowers with a smile, wrapping up with actual events that had happened.
Both Zhang Yuan and Chen Li knew he trained every day. After hearing it this time, Zhang Yuan nodded with a smile, confirming that Li Ming had indeed started training from the first day, demonstrating his seriousness and diligence.
“Then what’s the deal with the ‘Eight Section Brocade’? I’ve practiced it before, but why doesn’t it have the same effect?”
After hearing about the superpowers, Chen Li, her eyes filled with wonder, couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m not too sure about that, but I suspect some magical changes in the world due to the apocalypse might have exposed the real effects of this ancient practice.”
Li Ming paused to think, then shook his head. He had some guesses on this issue, but as they talked about the changes in the world, he thought of the superpower…
“It’s a pity I don’t know much. What I practice now was something I downloaded from the internet in a whim. Apart from the Eight Section Brocade and Tai Chi, which I learned and practiced in the past and didn’t delete, I wouldn’t even have the Eight Section Brocade.”
Li Ming shook his head, some regret in his voice. He once deliberately searched for martial arts tutorial videos online, where dozens of them packaged together cost only eight yuan.
While searching, he suddenly lost interest and didn’t choose to buy or download them. If only he had… it would have been fantastic.
“The world has undergone magical changes…”
Chen Li pursed her lips. Well, with zombies around, indeed magical changes had happened!
“Alright, rest time’s over, it’s time to get busy. Later, you two come with me, there’s a villa in this residential area that has three alpacas and a flock of five swans. I was in a hurry the last time I came and didn’t bring them, but now that you’re here, help me bring all these treasures back!”
Li Ming looked at the two women by his side, and patting their legs, he spoke with a smile.
“What, alpacas, swans!”
Upon hearing Li Ming’s voice, Zhang Yuan and Chen Li exclaim in surprise, joy filling their faces.
“Hubby, do these things really exist?”
Zhang Yuan asked impatiently. When she received Li Ming’s affirmative nod, she immediately became overjoyed and kissed him enthusiastically.
“Three alpacas and five swans, it’s a bit much for just the three of us. I’ll go call my mom.”
Chen Li’s face reddened slightly as she watched the two kiss. Getting up, she said a word, then quickly left the bedroom.
A moment later, Zhang Yuan was carried out of the room by Li Ming. Once in the living room, he let her down, and they both went downstairs. However, they saw that Chen Li and her mother were already ready, their eyes all on him.
