After discovering the book’s purpose on their wedding night, Wen Chu began researching various scripts.

After entering the Divine Realm, he was busy working with Xiu, and entering small worlds without authorization was also a violation of regulations.

Fortunately, worlds constructed by the book didn’t count.

However, half of the pages were used up for the dungeon last time. Now, only half of the book remained to construct small worlds.

Wen Chu wanted to use it but was reluctant to do so. He wasn’t satisfied with this script, felt that worldview was inappropriate, and after more than three months, he still hadn’t decided where to use the last opportunity.

In the end, it was Alice who solved Wen Chu’s dilemma.

The Divine Realm also had holidays: two days off per week and two months of annual leave that could be taken flexibly.

Alice, with her carpe diem personality, always used up her annual leave in the first two months of the year, and this time was no exception.

She went on vacation somewhere unknown and, upon returning, threw a stack of books directly at Wen Chu.

“Look, the gods in the Divine Realm are all circulating fan fiction about you and Xiu.” Alice gloated.

Wen Chu casually opened one.

【[ChuXiu] On the Obligations of the Elder

Summary: When he was called ‘adoptive father’ by Wen Chu, he was destined to fulfill all the obligations of an elder to the child before him.

Becoming his father, teacher, mother, and even… wife.

Part 1.

As an Italian Mafia godfather, Xiu never thought he would embark on the path of raising a child.

The rainy season in London was sticky and gloomy. Xiu held a heavy black umbrella, carelessly pointing the gun at the white-haired boy who had appeared out of nowhere…】

Wen Chu glanced at a few lines and said sincerely, “It’s written quite well.”

Anyway, it was better than the boring accounts he wrote for his weekly mission reports.

Alice was stunned: “Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Wen Chu picked up another book: “The characters in the book are in the book, and I am me. What is there to be ashamed of? Besides, they are sincerely blessing me and Xiu.”

Alice: “…”

She actually felt Wen Chu had a point.

But wasn’t her effort in vain then?

She hadn’t forgotten to painstakingly collect these books even during her vacation, wasn’t it to make Wen Chu die of shame and avenge being chased and beaten last time?

If she had known, she wouldn’t have collected so many.

At this moment, Wen Chu had already opened the second book.

【[ChuXiu] Investigation Report on the Compatibility of Tentacles and Mercenaries

Warning: Contains elements such as non-human tentacles, zombies, bloody violence, etc. Please confirm you can accept this before reading.】

Wen Chu read a few lines down, and his eyes gradually lit up.

The Divine Realm also had publishing standards, and erotic content was illegal, so this book was mainly plot-driven.

It was roughly about the love-hate relationship between a monster occupying a territory and the strongest human ability user.

However, due to the strong tension in the writing, coupled with the novel setting and fast pace, Wen Chu read it with great interest.

“I like this one.” Wen Chu held the book.

Alice had a mental breakdown: “You’re even giving a critique here?”

She complained, but still honestly leaned over to see what kind of book made Wen Chu give such a high evaluation.

“Oh, so it’s enemies-to-lovers literature. You like this?” Alice tutted.

Wen Chu looked at the mercenary being dragged away by small tentacles in the book and repeated Alice’s words: “Enemies-to-lovers literature?” (Note: In Chinese, “Su Di” means nemesis/arch-enemy. The phrase “Su Di literature” refers to stories about nemeses. Wen Chu misinterprets “Su” as “sleeping/staying overnight” due to the homophone, interpreting it as “Enemies who sleep together.”)

Enemies sleeping together?

Wen Chu interpreted the term according to his own logic and nodded: “I like it.”

He hugged the book, in a very good mood: “Thank you, Alice. I’ll take these books.”

Alice, who tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice: …

She felt like she had become part of their play.

And she had rushed to become part of the play herself.

.

“…That’s how it is.”

Wen Chu held the book with the storyline he had already written, looking at Xiu with shining eyes.

“I wrote a new storyline based on that book. This time neither of us will have memories. Let’s play this, okay?”

Xiu’s earlobes were slightly red.

The experience of being dragged into the dungeon last time was still vivid in his mind, especially since Wen Chu not only brought out clothes from the dungeon but also the props used on him at that time.

Of course, the tricks in the Divine Realm were not as varied as in the dungeon, but Xiu had been filled to the brim for a long time while working.

Fortunately, he only worked with Wen Chu.

If there had been a third person around, Xiu wasn’t sure if he would have been broken by Wen Chu like that.

Seeing this book again now, Xiu tried to salvage the situation: “Are you sure? It’s the last chance.”

Wen Chu was firm: “I’m sure. I want to be your nemesis. We haven’t been nemeses yet.”

Xiu: “…”

Where did he learn these words?

He didn’t know that Wen Chu had completely misunderstood the meaning of nemesis and still wanted to refuse: “This setting is a bit dangerous. What if I hurt you?”

Wen Chu was determined: “It doesn’t matter, I want this one.”

As he spoke, his tone changed, his voice softened, the wings by his ears fluttered, and he clasped his hands together: “Please, Xiu, I beg you.”

Xiu looked away, his ears getting hotter.

Really… acting spoiled at the drop of a hat.

“Okay.” Xiu pursed his lips and agreed.

“But let’s add a prerequisite: let me be in a heavily injured state.”

He didn’t think he would hurt Wen Chu heavily without his memories, but since it was a nemesis setting, it was better to add an extra layer of insurance.

“Ah…” Wen Chu hesitated.

Xiu: “If we don’t add it, we won’t play.”

“Alright.” Wen Chu admitted defeat and modified some of the content.

Xiu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

It was rare; Wen Chu actually agreed.

Thinking of Wen Chu’s unexpectedly firm attitude this time, Xiu couldn’t help but start thinking about deeper issues:

Why did Wen Chu suddenly want to become nemeses with him?

Was it because daily life was too plain and he wanted some excitement?

Or did Wen Chu actually always want to fight him?

Or…

“Done!”

Before Xiu could come up with a conclusion, Wen Chu quickly modified the settings.

He looked at Xiu eagerly: “Tomorrow is the weekend. Shall we go in and play now?”

“Okay.” Xiu pondered and agreed concisely.

Wen Chu activated the book, and the pages began to turn.

Before entering the small world, Xiu couldn’t help asking one more question: “Why do you insist on the nemesis setting?”

Wen Chu blushed and stammered.

“Because I want to sleep with you…”

Xiu: ?

Is there any necessary connection between nemeses and sleeping together?

He wanted to ask more, but before he could speak, both of them were swallowed by the white light emitting from the book.

.

The tenth year of the Zombie Apocalypse.

Humans, zombies, and mutated animals and plants formed a three-way confrontation.

Humans spread outward centered on the Ability User Base, establishing a habitat on the ruins of the original city, while zombies were isolated outside the city.

And outside the city, in the broader world, was the territory of mutated animals and plants.

Ten years ago, under meteorite radiation, countless humans turned into zombies overnight, and originally peaceful and harmless animals and plants also gained self-awareness.

Willow trees waved their flexible branches to entangle humans and absorb nutrients, fish and shrimp in the river came ashore to prey, and humans instead became the lowest existence on the food chain.

It wasn’t until the appearance of ability users that the situation took a turn.

Under the leadership of ability users, humans gradually cleared out the current Ability User Base and established a work point system.

Every day, countless ability users and ordinary people went outside the city for clearing work to earn points and make a living. This was also one of the few high-paying jobs in the Ability User Base.

Outside the city, a jeep drove across the yellow sand-filled wasteland, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust and gravel.

Before the wandering zombies could turn their heads, the vehicle had already disappeared into the sky full of dust.

“Is this the number one mercenary? Why is he a foreigner? Can we speak Chinese to him?”

A fat man sat in the back row, looking cautiously at the blond man resting with his eyes closed in the front passenger seat, whispering to the dark, thin man beside him.

A look of disdain flashed in the dark, thin man’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it and replied, “He is of mixed Chinese and German descent and grew up in China. Normal communication is fine.”

“Oh.” The fat man still sensed a bit of impatience and fell silent resentfully.

He looked uneasily at the young and handsome man in the passenger seat, still unable to entrust his life and fortune entirely to this foreign pretty boy.

He was the son of the president of the Ability User Association! At least ten ability users should have been sent to protect him!

The fat on Chen Yaozu’s face trembled.

If it hadn’t been for discovering his father’s illegitimate son, and Gu Lingfeng saying a rank-six mutated plant crystal core was found in the suburbs—if he could get the crystal core, it would definitely make his father, who scolded him for being useless all day, look at him with new eyes—Chen Yaozu wouldn’t have stepped out of the base city gate at all.

But now it made no difference.

He regretted it as soon as the jeep drove out of the Ability User Base.

But now in the car, on his left was Gu Lingfeng, the captain of the First Ability User Squad, driving in front was Gu Lingfeng’s subordinate, and sitting in the passenger seat was the number one mercenary.

He was cowardly; he dared not have an opinion. He was afraid that if he proposed to bail now, these three would dump his body in the wilderness.

Chen Yaozu shed tears silently.

He really wanted to go home.

Wasn’t it good to have fun at home with his ten beauties? What kind of bewitching potion did he take to insist on leaving the city?

Gu Lingfeng looked at this second-generation hedonist with disdain, unable to stop sneering in his heart.

No wonder the president wanted him to take Chen Yaozu out to deal with him while dealing with Xiu.

Any politician with such a morally corrupt son who smeared his reputation for no reason, and also having an excellent illegitimate son, would probably abandon his biological son without hesitation.

Anyway, Chen Yaozu’s biological mother, that rich girl who spoiled her son excessively and was difficult to deal with, died two years ago. The president keeping this son until now was already the utmost benevolence.

The base leader election was coming up soon.

Let this fat man full of stains become a stepping stone on the road to the president’s election.

Gu Lingfeng had already started indulging in fantasies.

When the president became the base leader, as the captain of the ability squad who had made such great contributions, could he also get a president position?

As for Xiu—

Gu Lingfeng didn’t take him seriously at all.

An ability user who acted alone, went his own way, and was overly powerful, mostly had no brains.

Since he was unwilling to be under the jurisdiction of the Ability User Association, he could only die.

Xiu, who was resting with his eyes closed in the front row, suddenly spoke: “This time we are going to the forbidden zone of the Northern Forest, right?”

“Yes.” Gu Lingfeng quickly restrained the malice on his face and said respectfully, “Does Mr. Xiu have any experience?”

“Nothing much, just that I’ve been there a few times and met a… little monster.” Xiu’s long golden eyelashes lowered coldly.

A transparent, slimy tentacle monster.

He didn’t know why that tentacle monster just didn’t like him. Every time it saw him, it was like a puppy seeing a bone, wanting to strangle him with slimy tentacles.

It also stole the mutated plants he had just killed at the drop of a hat, digging out the most valuable crystal cores inside.

They fought every time they met, until he entered the survivor base, and the war barely stopped.

“It’s not very friendly to me, so if you see a creature similar to a tentacle monster, ignore it and continue attacking. It’s coming for me.”

Xiu was concise.

With someone actively drawing hatred, Gu Lingfeng naturally wouldn’t refuse.

While despising Xiu’s lack of strategy in his heart, he hurriedly agreed: “Okay, okay, sorry to trouble Mr. Xiu.”

Xiu didn’t reply, leaving only a cold back to the people in the back row.

Gu Lingfeng met with a cold reception and ground his teeth.

Poser!

But now wasn’t the time for a falling out. The Ability User Base couldn’t pick anyone who could beat Xiu, otherwise they wouldn’t have dragged it on until now.

Wait until near the mutated plant…

Gu Lingfeng revealed a sinister smile.

Xiu remained indifferent to the undercurrents in the back row, continuing to calmly watch the scenery flying past the window.

People in the Ability User Base were too arrogant, always treating others as fools.

It was like this ten years ago, and it is like this ten years later.

Just that little tentacle…

Xiu touched the pocket of his black tactical suit on his chest, where an identification chip was placed.

Although he found it quite annoying, he hoped it wouldn’t come looking for him this time.

Otherwise, if it got involved and killed, he wouldn’t lend a hand either.

.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Forest.

Wen Chu was paralyzed on a huge man-eating flower.

“So fragrant, so delicious.”

Wen Chu was drooling with craving.

This was the highest-level mutated plant in the Northern Forest, and also the best-tasting flower he had painstakingly cultivated.

A full rank six; the crystal core inside was enough for him to eat slowly for several years.

Huge transparent tentacles, fully four or five meters high, wrapped around the man-eating flower. Dense circular suckers wriggled, absorbing the power from the man-eating flower’s crystal core.

At the same time, the tentacles also secreted mucus to nourish the man-eating flower.

And the mutated man-eating flower, which should have evolved consciousness long ago, showed no intention of resisting. Like a donor, it was consumed by Wen Chu without any fluctuation.

This was Wen Chu’s ability.

He could heal all species, but at the same time, the species healed by him would form an invisible control connection with him.

He could manipulate them through the connection, including erasing their consciousness.

After that annoying human who came poaching at the drop of a hat disappeared, this entire forest had become his reserve granary under his diligent cultivation.

Thinking of that blond man, the transparent tentacles couldn’t help shrinking in pain.

So annoying.

He couldn’t beat him, couldn’t drive him away, and the man dug away the plants he had worked hard to cultivate from time to time, causing him to dig out crystal cores to cultivate again.

uncultured human, didn’t he know not to pick wild flowers by the roadside?

Fortunately, that person hadn’t appeared for a whole year.

Thinking of this, Wen Chu’s mood improved again.

Every day without the strange Blondie, the sun was so bright, the plant crystal cores were so sweet, and the forest was so quiet…

“Vroom—”

Before he could finish thinking, the sound of a car engine came from the distance.

Wen Chu: ?!

With a “Splat”, he slid down from the huge mutated man-eating flower and moved his tentacles, slapping towards the source of the sound.

Who was trespassing on his territory again?

Transparent tentacles were extremely well hidden in the dense forest. Wen Chu crawled on the ground and soon saw the source of the noise.

—A jeep.

Two men got out of the back seat, one a fat man with a terrified face, the other a thin man with an impatient look. The fat man was saying something, which was impatiently refuted by the thin man.

Getting out of the driver’s seat was an ordinary-looking young man.

It looked like another human squad seeking death.

Wen Chu waved his tentacles, about to go up and drag this group of people back to feed his dear man-eating flower as fertilizer.

However, before he could move, he saw the passenger door open.

A man with short blond hair stepped out.

He wore a form-fitting black combat suit, with a lean waist and long legs. His combat boots stepped on the ground, making a dull sound.

The young man was handsome, revealing a pair of blue eyes that Wen Chu would never forget in his life.

Wen Chu froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

That poaching Blondie is back!!

Now was different from the past. The entire forest was his property. If Blondie took even one casually, he would die of heartache.

Wen Chu whimpered.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have slacked off a year ago; how good it would have been to change to another forest directly.

He instantly extinguished the thought of attacking now.

A year ago, he could only tie with Blondie. Now he didn’t know how much Blondie had improved. If he couldn’t win, he should run first.

After all, Blondie brought helpers this time, clearly prepared.

Wen Chu quickly made a decision.

At this moment, the four people who got out of the car also determined their target after a brief confusion. Blondie stood at the front, the little fatty second, and the driver and the dark thin man stood on both sides of the little fatty, advancing in a triangular formation.

Wen Chu moved his tentacles, crawling darkly, keeping up with the four people’s footsteps.

Chen Yaozu looked at the deep forest around him, his face pale: “Capt-Captain Gu, is there really a rank-six mutated plant here?”

“Of course.” Gu Lingfeng was running out of patience. “Why would I lie to you for no reason?”

“Oh… oh.” Chen Yaozu trembled with fat and dared not speak.

The driver beside him frowned: “Brother Gu, is this forest too quiet?”

Gu Lingfeng didn’t care: “There’s a rank-six mutated plant here. Other mutated animals must have fled upon hearing the news long ago.”

Mutated animals and plants were different from zombies without consciousness. They had a very strong sense of territory, and high-level mutated animals and plants often existed alone.

This also greatly reduced the difficulty for humans to attack them.

Gu Lingfeng never imagined that there was an existence in this world capable of erasing the consciousness of mutated animals and plants, and guaranteed: “Just relax. Before meeting that rank-six mutated plant, we won’t encounter any danger.”

Wen Chu hiding in the dark: …

Damn it, being looked down upon.

And why did this group of people always want to target his mutated plants!

If they wanted one, couldn’t they raise one themselves!!

Wen Chu sized up the leading blond man, wanting to see what the other party would say.

But the man didn’t say a word, just walked forward with a cold face.

Cold-faced monster.

Wen Chu mumbled and continued to follow.

He knew very well that those mutated plants under his command that hadn’t reached rank six couldn’t cause any harm to Blondie, so he didn’t set up any obstacles on the road. The group of four advanced extremely smoothly.

Within ten minutes, they arrived at the growth site of the man-eating flower.

Seeing the mutated man-eating flower fully four meters high, the little fatty’s legs went soft and he knelt on the ground: “W-w-we are fighting this??”

“It’s just a mutated man-eating flower.” Gu Lingfeng scoffed. “Xiu is a fire ability user, accurate with every burn. Let’s act quickly; we can finish the battle within ten minutes.”

Among the people present, everyone except Chen Yaozu was a rank-six ability user. Three rank-sixes bringing a burden couldn’t possibly fail to beat a rank-six man-eating flower.

Xiu said coldly: “Since you know, why aren’t you making a move?”

“You don’t need to say more!”

Gu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and raised his hand to smash a wind blade at the man-eating flower, cutting a large opening in its stem.

Wen Chu: !!!

His flower!

Wen Chu immediately controlled the man-eating flower to fight back.

But as Gu Lingfeng took action, the driver also summoned earth spikes to attack the man-eating flower, and even the little fatty tremblingly condensed a thin stream of water to water the flower.

On the contrary, Xiu just threw a fireball from time to time. Except for getting close to the man-eating flower at the very beginning, he didn’t get close again afterwards, instead retreating silently while fighting.

It was obvious there was something fishy.

But Wen Chu didn’t have time to investigate so much; he was furious.

One or two of them, all coming to trouble him, all annoying ghosts.

If his flower was beaten to death, it would take a whole half year to raise it again!!

Wen Chu couldn’t hold back anymore. Estimating that Xiu hadn’t improved much compared to a year ago, he moved his tentacles and rushed out with a splat.

To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. His transparent tentacles wrapped directly around the blond mercenary’s long legs.

Dark marks spread on the black tactical suit. Xiu was caught off guard by his legs being pulled and almost subconsciously threw a fireball towards his legs.

Wen Chu curled up his transparent tentacles burned by the heat but still persistently climbed onto Xiu’s body.

In an instant, the tentacles clung to the blond man’s chest, the suckers tightly sucking onto the other party’s waist and abdomen, reaching for the other party’s neck.

The tentacles decided to strangle him.

The three people on the other side also noticed Xiu being restrained, but the man-eating flower suddenly stopped attacking. Coupled with Xiu’s instructions in the car, driven by huge interests, the three directly put Xiu out of their minds.

No matter what, as long as they killed Chen Yaozu while slaughtering the man-eating flower, they could then free their hands to deal with Xiu, who would be mutually wounded with the tentacles.

Gu Lingfeng’s idea was simple.

Xiu was bound all over by tentacles, unable to move, and gritted his teeth, whispering, “Let go quickly, we need to go fast…”

Wen Chu didn’t listen; Wen Chu pinched him desperately.

Bad guy, pinch you to death!

Entangled by the slimy giant monster, even his arms imprisoned, Xiu couldn’t even release a fireball spell.

His legs were forced apart, and every breath was filled with the oppressive feeling brought by the tentacles.

No time left…

Xiu stared tightly at the man-eating flower, but under the deadly entanglement of the tentacles, he couldn’t take a step no matter what.

Finally, he hardened his heart and simply fell to the ground, pretending to wrestle with the tentacles, and quickly rolled into the bushes.

“Boom—”

But he was still a step too slow.

The moment he fell, the explosion sounded. Both the blond mercenary and the tentacles were on the edge of the explosion and suffered considerable impact.

Wen Chu was okay. After being burned by the explosion, he subconsciously curled up and fell to the ground. He decisively abandoned the large sections of tentacles after they caught fire.

He rolled out, abandoning tentacles as he rolled, becoming smaller and smaller.

Finally, he turned into a palm-sized transparent tentacle ball and barely escaped the sea of fire.

Xiu wasn’t so lucky.

He was directly blown away by the shockwave of the explosion, flying fully ten meters before hitting a tree trunk hard and stopping.

The center of the explosion was even more tragic, now reduced to a scorched ruin.

Wen Chu, turned into a small ball, rolled back. Seeing this ruin, he let out a “Ji” scream.

His flower!!

He rolled to the center of the explosion, and sure enough, his flower had also turned into black ash, leaving only a fist-sized green crystal core.

Good news: At least the crystal core wasn’t blown away.

Bad news: Now he wasn’t even as big as the crystal core.

Wen Chu was so angry he wanted to cry.

The body he had saved up so hard for so many years! His little flower! His forest!

All destroyed by the explosion!!

Why did nothing good ever happen as soon as this Blondie arrived!!

Wen Chu rolled forward angrily, ready to settle accounts with Blondie.

Blondie must also be seriously injured. Take his life while he’s down; he wanted Blondie to pay with his life.

Wen Chu was very familiar with the forest terrain. Even as a small ball, he rolled extremely fast and soon found where Xiu had fallen after being blown away.

In the dense forest, the blond mercenary hung his head slightly, a long bloody trail on his cheek.

His clothes had also become tattered in the explosion. The clothes on his chest were almost completely destroyed, revealing the firm and full pectoral muscles under the black combat suit.

The same was true for the roots of his thighs, which had red marks scratched by gravel.

But the most obvious was the wound on the other party’s abdomen.

Because he was impacted onto the tree trunk, a tree branch was currently stuck in Xiu’s abdomen, pinning him firmly to the tree, with blood constantly seeping from the wound.

The beatable and cold man was now fainting so fragilely in front of him.

The tiny transparent ball suddenly paused.

Actually, this person seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

Wen Chu suddenly didn’t want to end the other party’s life so quickly.

Killing such a tattered mercenary wouldn’t be interesting.

Since he caused him such big trouble, he should pay some price for what he did, right?

Compared to killing him, he now wanted this blond man to suffer the worst humiliation.

For such an aloof and cold person, being humiliated until he was even more broken seemed to be the best choice.

The transparent little ball made a decision:

He wanted the other party to be the broodmother for nurturing his new tentacles.
