4: Chapter 4 Embracing Old Man with Cold Legs

Cold.

An extreme, bone-chilling yin cold made Lin Ye shudder violently in his unconscious state.

Yet, strangely, amidst this chill capable of freezing a person solid, there were two distinct, yet equally breathtakingly soft masses pinning him tightly in the middle.

Lin Ye struggled to open his leaden eyelids, and the first thing he saw was the familiar, yellowed ceiling of his second-floor bedroom.

But right now, he didn't feel familiar with it at all.

Because he discovered he was lying on his back in a twisted "spread-eagled" position on the bed.

And on both sides of him lay a stunningly beautiful female zombie capable of making any man's blood boil.

On the left was Frost Star.

This mutated White Zombie loli was currently like an octopus, wrapping her limbs tightly around the left side of Lin Ye's body.

Her silver and blue twin tails were scattered across Lin Ye's neck, and her small face was pressed tightly against his chest.

Perhaps because she had drunk her fill of Yang energy, her originally bone-chilling body temperature had miraculously risen by a few degrees, carrying a hint of the warmth characteristic of a young girl.

She was sleeping soundly, left eye tightly shut, small mouth slightly open, revealing two sharp little fangs; she even smacked her lips very indecorously against Lin Ye's collarbone, letting out a satisfied "woowo" sound.

And on the right, the scene was completely different.

Leng Yue was lying flat on the outer edge of the bed, her hands folded neatly over her flat abdomen—a standard ancient "shroud" sleeping posture.

In other words, the posture of a corpse in a morgue.

But what was lethal was that this aloof queen was currently tilting her head, her silver waterfall of hair, reaching down to her ankles, covering half of the double bed.

Although she maintained a stiff sleeping posture, her long, straight, flawless, snow-white jade leg was brazenly draped over Lin Ye's right leg.

The tattered black ancient dress on her body had even less fabric left after the previous battle and transport.

Due to her side-lying position, the overburdened bodice had slipped down significantly, exposing a deep cleavage and a stunning patch of white skin, almost without reservation, to the air.

With her slow and long breaths, the scene radiated a lethal temptation.

"Am I in the Cave of the Spider Demons, or a morgue?"

Lin Ye took a deep breath, feeling his kidneys aching faintly.

When others are embraced on both sides, it's with warmth and fragrance; if he didn't have this Pure Yang Dao Body supporting him, he'd definitely have severe chronic leg pain and facial paralysis by tomorrow morning.

Seemingly sensing the acceleration of Lin Ye's heartbeat, Leng Yue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her deep red eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance in the darkness.

She turned her head to look at Lin Ye; there was no embarrassment on her stunningly beautiful and cold face at being caught, and instead, she spoke in a matter-of-fact, archaic tone:

"Husband is awake. Has this concubine pressed down on you and caused you pain?"

Lin Ye wanted to cry but had no tears:

"It's not me you're pressing on, it's my dwindling lifespan. Also, Wife, although we have a verbal marriage contract, people nowadays believe in taking things step by step. Isn't your sleeping posture a bit too unrestrained?"

Leng Yue frowned slightly, seemingly contemplating Lin Ye's words seriously.

Afterwards, a flash of righteous confidence appeared in her red eyes:

"The ancient rites say that Husband and wife sharing a bed is only proper. Furthermore, you need us to assist in your cultivation with our yin energy."

Good grief, to say it so righteously—she is truly worthy of being a Thousand-Year Red Hou.

Just then, Frost Star on Lin Ye's left was also awakened by the noise.

She rubbed her sleepy, heterochromatic eyes, nuzzled against Lin Ye's chest like a kitten, and mumbled softly:

"So warm... Frost Star wants more..."

As she spoke, she opened her small mouth, revealing her fangs, and was about to lean toward Lin Ye's neck.

Lin Ye was scared out of his wits and pressed down on her little head:

"Stop! Even the landlord's family has no surplus grain left; if you suck any more, I'll have to go down and meet my ancestors early!"

Just as the atmosphere between the bedsheets was becoming amorous and potentially escalating into a new round of the "juicing crisis," the system's translucent light screen finally popped up on Lin Ye's retina after a long absence.

Accompanied by a tingling notification sound:

"Ding! The "My Lord, Please Behave Yourself" System has detected that the host has entered a daily transition phase. Releasing limited-time daily quest: Hair Care for Zombie Girls."

[The rainwater outside and the yin energy of the earth's veins have stained the two heroines' hair. As their Husband, how can you let your wives sleep with wet hair? Please make a choice from the following options.]

[Option A: Rain and Dew for All—Take out a hairdryer and gently dry the sisters' hair.]

[Reward: Yang energy recovery speed +10%, Leng Yue favorability +10, Frost Star favorability +10.]

[Consequence: You will learn what a true master of balancing water is.]

[Option B: Partiality to the End—Only dry Leng Yue's hair and mock Frost Star by saying, "Little brat, wipe it yourself."]

[Reward: Obtain Leng Yue's exclusive lap pillow service for 10 minutes.]

[Consequence: Frost Star will carve patterns into the soles of your feet with a bone knife after you fall asleep.]

[Option C: Mental Breakdown—Turn the hairdryer to the maximum setting and shout, "Monster, taste this monk's Samadhi True Fire!"]

[Reward: Obtain the title "Little Master of Courting Death."]

[Consequence: The hairdryer will be crushed by Leng Yue with one hand, and you will be forcibly drained of 50 points of Yang energy as punishment.]

"This system is really trying to kill me with these stunts..."

Lin Ye's mouth twitched wildly as he thought to himself.

"I choose A! Only a fool would choose C and go to their death!"

After making his choice, Lin Ye forced his weak and sore body to sit up.

"You two, stop messing around for a second, and both sit up properly."

He summoned the aura of a head of the household and pointed to the edge of the bed.

Although Leng Yue was somewhat puzzled, she obediently sat up.

With her movement, the tattered black dress slipped down a bit more, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

Lin Ye quickly averted his gaze; one shouldn't look at things that aren't proper. Looking too much right now would easily get him worked up, and yet he had no mana to use skills—it was too torturous.

Frost Star pouted reluctantly, hugging one of Lin Ye's arms and refusing to let go.

Lin Ye rolled out of bed, dug a wooden comb and a dry towel out of the drawer, and finally took out that old Philips hairdryer.

He walked behind Leng Yue.

To be honest, Leng Yue's hair was extremely beautiful.

Silver-white as snow, although stained with the moisture from the underground corpse-raising ground, making it look a bit damp, it still emitted that unique cold fragrance of Manjusaka.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Leng Yue tilted her head slightly, a flash of confusion appearing in her deep red eyes.

"Don't move, I'm drying your hair, otherwise it's easy to lose hair... although I don't know if zombies can go bald."

Lin Ye muttered a complaint under his breath, then gently placed the dry towel over Leng Yue's head.
