Qin Minghuang sat on the balcony, slowly flipping through an adult magazine in his hand, absent-mindedly looking at the erotic stories and illustrations of beautiful women on it, his eyes flickering towards the kitchen from time to time.
Dr. Ji Lun was cooking in the kitchen. In just three days, he went from being a professional kitchen killer to being able to cook home-cooked meals at the level of an ordinary housewife. Qin Minghuang deeply admired his learning ability and speed of improvement. This was really a terrifying man—terrible in every sense of the word.
There was a sweet fragrance coming from the kitchen. Qin Minghuang finally couldn't bear to read the pornographic book anymore. She dropped the magazine and ran straight to the kitchen. When she was almost there, she lightened her steps, tiptoed to the door and looked inside.
The man standing in front of the oven was particularly perceptive. He immediately turned his head and smiled at her, "Honey, I'll be done soon."
Qin Minghuang: "Ah... did you succeed?"
Ji Lun nodded shyly, showing the oven that had just finished working, and directly reached out to take out the hot baking tray. This magical superpower not only has "iron teeth" but also "iron hands". Qin Minghuang suspected that he was a man made of steel.
The freshly-baked puffs exuded a sweet fragrance. Qin Minghuang couldn't help but reach out to take one, and as expected, she got scalded. Ji Lun quickly helped her pick it up and brought it to her mouth.
Qin Minghuang's life principle is that people may have all kinds of sins, but food is absolutely innocent. So even if the nature of the man who made the food is a mystery to her, she can enjoy the food he made without any burden.
Taking a bite while it was still hot, the puff pastry and the cream filling inside filled Qin Minghuang's mouth so densely that he almost shed tears of emotion.
She hasn't had fresh dessert for a long time. It's miserable. She can cook, but her skills are average and can only meet basic needs.
Her favorite food is meat, and her second favorite is desserts that can replenish calories. However, she just doesn't know how to make desserts. Countless attempts have ended in failure. Her friend Ming Hui, who has been practicing with her secretly, has become a dessert master, but she is still at the bottom of failure.
Holding a plate of freshly baked puffs, she ate five in one go at the kitchen door. Looking up with satisfaction, she found that Dr. Ji Lun was staring at her with eyes that seemed to be dripping with tears, and he seemed even happier and more satisfied than her.
Qin Minghuang admitted that when Dr. Ji Lun asked her what she wanted to eat, she casually mentioned puffs to deliberately embarrass him, but she didn't expect him to actually make it. He didn't go to the store to look for ready-made puffs that might still exist, but found relevant books to study, and searched for materials in a city full of dangers and monsters. In the end, he made fresh and delicious puffs for her with his own hands.
She was indeed a little touched, but... she still couldn't stand his perverted look!
Three days! Three days already! Ever since they met in a restaurant, Dr. Gillen has been following her around the city, and he can't get rid of her no matter what.
When she was hungry, he would go find food. When she was tired, he would clean up a place for her to rest. When he encountered a monster blocking the road, he would rush to kill it and drag it back for her to eat. His attitude towards her was like that of a little baby in his palm. Qin Minghuang had never seen such a posture in his life. His mind was numb with sweetness.
What is he after? Is it because she eats a lot
"Honey, what else do you want to eat? I can make it for you." Ji Lun found that the smell of his own feminine happiness was beginning to be mixed with doubtful emotions, and he hurriedly used the method he had just learned to comfort her.
Qin Minghuang was distracted by him for three seconds, and then she stubbornly came back. She pinched the puff, hooked her finger at Ji Lun, and went straight to sit on the sofa.
This house was probably occupied by a rich person before, and the sofa was very comfortable. She chose to live here because she didn't know what was going on in the building, the power was not completely cut off, the house was very clean, and there were not many strange animals wandering around.
Ji Lun followed her to the sofa and sat down. He began to lean towards her without any hesitation, as naturally as if they were a couple.
Qin Minghuang had gotten used to his repeated inability to change his ways, so he stood up and sat opposite him, stepping on his knees to prevent him from moving.
"Doctor, you follow me every day, cook for me, and stick to me all the time. You like me, right?" She said in a frivolous tone and put more force on her feet.
Ji Lun looked at her and said softly, "Yes, I love you."
Qin Minghuang: "... I won't ask you why, but the two of us are not suitable."
Ji Lun wondered: "What's inappropriate? I can become suitable." He can have any look she likes, but he hasn't discovered what she particularly likes yet.
Qin Minghuang looked him up and down. He had a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and clear features. He looked like a mixed-race person.
She rubbed her fingers and suddenly put on a dissolute look and said, "In my hometown, the traditional head of the family is a master who lies down and does nothing except work. His partner needs to do housework, clean, cook, and wash clothes. He needs to be filial to the elders and take care of the children. Some even have to go out to work to earn money to supplement the family income. They need to be gentle, considerate, and understanding. They need to be virtuous and beautiful, clean and self-disciplined, and hardworking and never complain..."
At this point, she changed her tone and said, "I am also a traditional person, so I hope my partner can make money to support the family, be gentle, considerate and understanding..."
She listed all the "traditional virtues" she had listed earlier, and then said, "I feel like you don't meet the standards, so I can't accept you."
Ji Lun digested her words for a while, and asked her blankly: "Then why do I not meet the standards?"
Qin Minghuang was trying to find a flaw in his nonsense, but he was stunned when he thought about it. Hiss, yes, where is he not qualified? If we only look at these few days, she really sits with her feet up and waits for food, and she doesn't have to do anything. Dr. Ji Lun does all the work.
But she soon found a new breakthrough point and said, "You can't have a baby!"
"Well, it's like this. I like children, but giving birth to children puts too much strain on a woman's body. I can't stand the pain, so it's best if my partner can give birth to and take care of the children, and not let the children bother me, and only bring the children over for me to play with when I want to."
Any normal person would understand what she meant after hearing this. Human males have not yet overcome this reproductive problem. What she meant was that all possibilities for men had been blocked, and the word "rejection" was written all over her face.
Qin Minghuang thought to himself, I'm talking nonsense and making trouble, let's see what you can say, if you have the guts, just turn against me.
She would rather Dr. Ji Lun use force against her and have a fight with her than to stand him using soft tactics. In this case, she couldn't use force and it was really difficult for her.
Ji Lun: "But..."
Qin Ming Huang said righteously: "No buts, you can't bear a child for me, it's useless to say anything, there's no possibility for us!"
Ji Lun was a little distressed and discussed with her in a wronged manner, "When we are successfully married and the child grows to this size, I will immediately put it in my body to raise it. Is that okay? You won't feel any pain." He gestured with the size of his thumb.
In this branch of theirs, childbearing is not a matter of just the male or the female, but of both parties together. Usually the female raises the child in her body until it reaches the developmental stage, and then the male takes the child and places it in the sac in his body, continuing to supply them with nutrients throughout the developmental period.
But his female seemed unwilling. What else could he do? Of course he had to listen to her and take responsibility for the child until he reached puberty.
Qin Minghuang was stunned by what he said and almost couldn't follow his train of thought.
What's going on? Is this man crazy? Does he mean to wait until the two of them fall asleep, the fertilized egg implants, and then find a way to take it out and put it into his body to carry the baby? No, what would he use to carry the baby? An artificial womb? Has the technology in this world developed to this point? Is this possible
Qin Minghuang was in a mess, and even took back his foot that was stepping on the other person's knee unconsciously, "Brother, brother... calm down, yes, but it's not necessary, it's really not necessary."
Seeing her refusal, Ji Lun thought she still disagreed, and held her hand awkwardly, "I'll try to find a way to give birth myself."
Qin Minghuang: “…”
Her impression of Dr. Guillen went through several stages: he was really stupid—he was pretending to be stupid—he was pretending to be crazy—he was really crazy.
She now felt that this man might really be crazy. Is this the price of having super powers
"We can give it a try. I can think of a way." Dr. Ji Lun, who claimed that he could give birth to a child for her, hugged her waist tightly.
Shit, you are kidding, are you serious? Qin Minghuang pulled himself out of his arms.
After finally escaping, she locked herself in the bathroom and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
It was so horrible that she almost couldn't help but agree just now, because she was so curious about how men gave birth to children, she had never seen it before. Fortunately, at the last moment, reason stopped her from trying to commit suicide.
No, she couldn't stay here any longer. The land of beauties was a place where heroes would be buried. If she continued to be fed by him like this, she didn't know what terrible ending was waiting for her.
Ji Lun went out again to look for the food she wanted to eat. Qin Minghuang followed her out, quickly packed a small bag from the car parked downstairs, took the weapon, and fled.
This time she didn't drive, and traveled light, making it less likely to be caught.
It didn't rain today, it was cloudy, but there was no sky above and the air was still humid. Qin Minghuang felt that his hair was wet after walking on the road for a while.
These days, she occasionally heard Dr. Ji Lun say that he liked her smell, but she had never smelled any smell on her body. To be on the safe side, she had to find a more enclosed place to hide, perhaps this would help her get rid of him.
There was a big shopping mall nearby, and Qin Minghuang saw the words "cinema" outside. He first went into the mall on the third floor, took out a few bottles of perfume from a perfume counter, and sprayed them on himself.
Now, even if she had a strong smell, Dr. Ji Lun’s dog nose probably wouldn’t be able to smell it.
Qin Minghuang, who was almost suffocated by the strong smell, pinched her nose and climbed the stairs to the cinema on the sixth floor. She found a closed small hall as she wished and hid in it.
It was difficult to see anything in the dark theater. The floor was covered with a thick blanket and the air was dry.
She knew that Ji Lun didn't like this kind of environment. Generally, there would be fewer monsters in dry places. She sat down on a chair and put her hands on the armrests.
The tentacles were not dry and warm velvet, but something moist and soft. Qin Minghuang withdrew his hand instantly, but it was too late. He felt a needle-like pain in his palm.
Qin Minghuang knew something was wrong, so she opened the door and walked to the light, shining a light on her palm. Several small insects as thick as black silk were twisting their bodies to drill into her palm, and two of them had already drilled into her skin, and a thin black line could be seen underneath through the translucent skin.
Qin Minghuang picked up the new blade hidden at his waist and slashed it across his palm, frowning as he squeezed out the small bugs mixed with blood.
Looking at her bloody palm, she shook it off in annoyance. This was too unlucky, how could she just find a random place and hide such a thing.
Covering his bleeding hand, Qin Minghuang passed by the toilet of the cinema. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, and a huge insect crawled out from the toilet wall.
The body has ring-shaped scales, and the long legs on both sides of the body swing like fins. A long soft limb extends from the head or tail, holding a flashing "little lantern".
Another monster I've never seen before!
Qin Minghuang: "I didn't check the almanac before I went out today... Damn, there's no almanac here!"
