18: Chapter 18 Little Fairy Doctor

However, seeing that Qin Lan was a bit hesitant and not as straightforward as Professor Su Qinghan,

in the end, she still slowly scooted over and sat down next to Professor Su Qinghan.

"Sister Qin Lan, why are you sitting so far away? Could it be... you're afraid Lin Zhou will eat you up?"

Jiang Wanxing, who was in his arms, deliberately said with a tease.

After all, she had specifically cleared out the other side of Lin Zhou just for Qin Lan.

As for her, she had taken the center spot, leaning into Lin Zhou's embrace.

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan felt even more shy.

However, this time, without too much hesitation, she slowly moved her delicate body and sat on the other side of Lin Zhou.

The four of them sat in the Hot Spring, squeezed together, with the warm spring water enveloping them, and an ambiguous atmosphere permeating the air.

Lin Zhou sat in the middle, with the cool and gentle Professor Su Qinghan on his left, and the dashing yet shy Qin Lan on his right.

With the delicate and cute Jiang Wanxing in his arms, his heart was filled with satisfaction.

Damn, what could be better than this?

At this moment, he felt as if his soul was about to ascend.

Just then, Jiang Wanxing's little hand suddenly lifted his chin, and she kissed his lips directly, her movements both bold and shy.

This scene made Professor Su Qinghan's cheeks flush and her heart race, though there was a hint of envy in her heart.

Qin Lan also saw it, and her ears turned even redder.

At this moment, she was no longer the decisive soldier, but a shy young girl.

[Detected an increase in affection from Professor Su Qinghan towards the host. Affection +5, current affection 75!]

[Detected an increase in affection from Qin Lan towards the host. Affection +5, current affection 65!]

Feeling the system's notification, the smile on Lin Zhou's lips deepened.

This time, he didn't hesitate anymore and raised his hand to gently wrap it around Professor Su Qinghan's shoulder.

The timing was ripe; there was no need to dawdle any longer.

The moment he held Professor Su Qinghan, he clearly felt her body tense up instantly.

However, as the heat from his warm, large hand transferred over, Professor Su Qinghan gradually relaxed.

Finally, she leaned gently against his shoulder, a slight curve appearing on her lips.

Seeing this, Lin Zhou smiled triumphantly.

Then he raised his hand to pat the back of Qin Lan's hand, causing her delicate body to tremble.

She turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of shyness, and then she also slowly leaned against his other shoulder.

The four of them leaned against each other, the steam in the Hot Spring swirling, and the warm light cast upon them, creating a scene that was both heartwarming and ambiguous.

"Don't worry, with me here, I will protect you all and ensure that you always have a home in this apocalypse."

Just then, in the midst of the ambiguous and heartwarming environment, Lin Zhou spoke up.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried immense firmness, like a stabilizer, completely settling the hearts of the three women.

The three women leaned into his arms, closed their eyes, and felt his warmth and firmness, all of them wearing happy smiles on their lips.

At this moment, the blood mist and Strange Monsters outside were forgotten, leaving only each other's warmth and companionship.

He opened his personal panel and looked at the information on it, a confident smile curling at the corner of his lips.

[Host Lin Zhou, Talent: SSS-rank unique talent "More Children, More Blessings", Protecting Survivors: Jiang Wanxing (Affection 100, Villa Mistress), Professor Su Qinghan (Affection 75), Qin Lan (Affection 65)].

[Villa Level]: Primary (Upgradeable, requires 10,000 fortune coins)

[Shared Talents]: Phantom Acceleration (C-rank, 100%), Micro-Ice Condensation (C-rank, 75%), Strength Enhancement (B-rank, 65%)

[Villa Functions]: Primary Defense, Intermediate Medical Room, Hot Spring, Underground Armory, Ice Cloud arrow tower, Top-tier Black Iron Gate.

Looking at the information on the panel, the next step was to save up more fortune coins to upgrade the Villa and unlock more functions.

If he could completely win over Professor Su Qinghan and Qin Lan, his strength would definitely skyrocket.

By then, let alone Tier 1 Strange Monsters, even Tier 2 Monster would be easy for him to handle.

However, just then, an emergency message suddenly popped up on the global channel, breaking this quiet and heartwarming scene.

"In the direction of the Hangzhou hillside Villa, high-level Strange Monsters fluctuations have been detected, suspected to be a Tier 3 Monster [Soul-Devouring Bat King], which is approaching rapidly and is expected to arrive in 1 hour!"

A user with the nickname Little Medical Immortal posted this message.

Tier 3 Monster? Soul-Devouring Bat King? Lin Zhou's brows furrowed slightly.

"Just finished dealing with a Tier 2 Monster, and now a Tier 3 one is coming. Are these rules trying to drive us to our deaths?"

Jiang Wanxing said with a trembling, pale face, her expression one of great anger.

Jiang Wanxing, who had originally thought she would be able to eat meat later, had already been looking forward to it.

As a result, this news was like a bucket of cold water poured ruthlessly over her head.

That anticipation vanished without a trace in an instant.

It was replaced by anger.

They hadn't rested for long, and they had found dealing with the Tier 2 Monster extremely difficult.

Now a Tier 3 one was coming, which made her feel truly tired—mentally exhausted!

"Perhaps... this has to do with the awakened talent. The lower the awakened talent, the lower the danger level. However, for the person involved, it is naturally a very critical degree."

"And since Lin Zhou awakened an SSS-rank top-tier talent attribute, the crisis relative to us is definitely not on the same level."

Professor Su Qinghan spoke slowly, analyzing the situation.

"Professor Su is right; this should be related to the awakened talent attribute. But we don't need to be afraid. When the crisis comes, we'll just hold our ground. We still have an hour, so we can properly discuss our countermeasures."

Lin Zhou said slowly, his brows also relaxing.

Especially when he saw Jiang Wanxing's pale face, his heart ached a little.

Jiang Wanxing was his woman now, and including Professor Su Qinghan and Qin Lan, they would sooner or later be his women as well.

In front of his own women, when encountering a crisis, he must first not show fear or terror.

He was the backbone, the reliance of the women.

If he were to lose his composure, wouldn't that affect their state of mind?

Therefore, no matter what, he must not panic first.

Even if this Tier 3 Monster was very powerful, he had to overcome his fear and face the difficulty head-on.

"Lin Zhou is right; if there are difficulties, we'll just face them. If it weren't for Lin Zhou, I would have died long ago. Being able to live this long, and even enjoy a Hot Spring, is already an unexpectedly long life."

"Then let's be united, face the difficulties together, and overcome all setbacks together!"

Professor Su Qinghan smiled brightly.

When the ice beauty melted, it was absolutely the most lethal temptation.

"Right, let's work together and survive together!"

Jiang Wanxing also raised her pink fist.

"Actually, I have a way to make our strength increase rapidly, so we won't have to fear any Tier 3 Monster!"

Jiang Wanxing looked at Professor Su Qinghan and Qin Lan, and suddenly said this.

As soon as these words were spoken, Professor Su Qinghan and Qin Lan immediately understood, their delicate bodies trembling slightly, and their pretty faces uncontrollably flushing red.

"Alright, Wanxing, let's discuss countermeasures for now; don't talk nonsense here!"

Lin Zhou was a bit speechless.

At this time, he had no time to think about that.

To be precise, it had been less than an hour, and it wasn't satisfying enough yet!

If it's not satisfying, how uncomfortable that would be.

"Big boss of the hillside Villa, please open the door and let me in! I awakened an A-rank talent [Great Physician Ling Ran]. I am currently being chased by a Rotten Claw Monster. As long as the boss saves me, I am willing to sign a contract with the boss!"

Just then, a private message appeared on the panel in front of him.

The nickname of the private chat was none other than Little Medical Immortal, who had just posted about the Tier 3 Monster.
