Do you think this world is serious?

"Hmm, so why does my brother-in-law look so weak?"

"..."

Chen Xiuming was speechless, not knowing how to answer Angelia, so he simply leaned back on the sofa cushions, closed his eyes to rest and clear his mind.

Angelia was puzzled, but she didn't press the matter further and refocused her attention on the cake.

Maria crossed her legs, her slender legs encased in white stockings, yet the edges of the stockings revealed the marks of her flesh, making it impossible to look away.

"Sister Cecilia, what exactly did you do last night?"

Maria looked at the radiant Cecilia, then at the seemingly exhausted Chen Xiuming, and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Although she called Chen Xiuming a "small fry," she knew very well that Chen Xiuming's physique was not bad, at least above average.

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

Cecilia looked at Chen Xiuming with tenderness in her eyes, but did not answer Maria's questions in detail.

Maria seemed to understand, but she still stubbornly insisted that Chen Xiuming was a "small fry".

Angelia seemed to suddenly remember something and asked curiously, "Sister Cecilia, aren't you and your brother-in-law planning to go on your honeymoon?"

"A honeymoon?" Cecilia paused for a moment, her smile fading slightly, then gently shook her head: "There's no need for a honeymoon, and I don't trust the two of you."

"World Bubble" is only the size of this city. The area outside the city is nothingness. Where can Chen Xiuming and Cecilia go for their honeymoon?

Cecilia now connects this to the "World Bubble," and even though Chen Xiuming didn't explain that Maria and Angelia couldn't escape the "World Bubble," she realized it.

As Maria and Angelia's older sister, Cecilia was unwilling to watch them perish along with the "World Bubble" as it was constantly reset.

Considering that Chen Xiuming was quite tired, and with Maria and Angelia present, Cecilia did not mention the matter. Instead, she gestured for the two girls to keep their voices down so that Chen Xiuming could rest for a while.

Maria gave a soft hum, but didn't say anything more.

Angelia continued to enjoy her cake, while Cecilia leaned gently against Chen Xiuming's shoulder, glancing down at her phone.

Although the "world bubble" is only the size of this city, the network is unaffected, and information from other regions can be viewed normally.

As for whether this information was fabricated, Cecilia had no idea.

Chen Xiuming drifted off to sleep without realizing it, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already noon.

Although the rest period was short, Chen Xiuming felt much more comfortable in his waist and legs. Even though they were still sore and weak, they didn't affect his mobility as much as before.

Cecilia noticed that Chen Xiuming had woken up, so she turned off her phone screen and asked gently, "Honey, do you want to eat?"

"…How long have I slept?"

"It's been over an hour, aren't you planning to rest a bit longer?"

"No need. Shall we eat out or at home for lunch?"

Chen Xiuming gently shook his head, trying to shake off the lingering weariness from his mind.

Maria and Angela were nowhere to be seen in the living room.

"Let's have lunch at home," Cecilia said softly. "Maria and Angelia went out to buy groceries; they should be back soon."

"Ah."

Chen Xiuming made a soft nasal sound, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Cecilia followed closely behind into the kitchen.

The kitchen was clean and tidy, with no signs of cooking.

It wasn't that Chen Xiuming and Cecilia couldn't cook, but Maria and Angelia would drag Cecilia out to eat every day, and Chen Xiuming would go out with them, so he never cooked at home.

Cecilia hugged Chen Xiuming from behind, her full yet soft breasts pressing against his back.

"My dear, what about Maria and Angela?"

Even though Cecilia didn't specify what it was about, Chen Xiuming knew what she meant.

Chen Xiuming sighed softly and said, "I don't know. There's only one way to get rid of the 'World Bubble' right now, which might not be suitable for Maria and Angelia."

"But... I don't want them to perish along with the 'World Bubble'."

“Cecilia, don’t worry too much—the ‘World Bubble’ won’t disappear immediately; we have plenty of time.”

"really?"

"Ah."

Chen Xiuming gave a firm response.

As long as the "World Bubble" doesn't disappear with the next reset, there will be at least four months left—there's still more than a month until the next reset of the "World Bubble".

Even if a way to free Maria and Angelia from the "World Bubble" cannot be found in more than four months, Cecilia should be able to emulate "Durandal" of the "Original World" and try to "reverse" the "World Bubble" into her own body, thereby saving the "World Bubble" from disintegration and demise.

P.S. Please give me more votes! ?(?`^??)?

14. Quantum Shadow

Chen Xiuming's response reassured Cecilia Shaniatton, and her tension and anxiety dissipated considerably.

"Well... darling, we'll have to work extra hard during this time."

"...Which aspect are you referring to?"

Chen Xiuming suddenly had a bad feeling.

Cecilia Shaniat gently licked her lips, moving her arms around Chen Xiuming downwards as she continued, "According to you, 'inverting' the 'World Bubble' into one's body is definitely not an easy task; it must require considerable strength..."

Cecilia Shaniat's voice trailed off at this point, but Chen Xiuming already knew what she was referring to.

To "reverse" the "World Bubble" into one's own body, considerable strength is required. Currently, Cecilia Shaniat has only one way to become stronger: to have sexual relations with Chen Xiuming.

That's why Cecilia Shaniat said things like, "Chen Xiuming should work harder."

Seemingly anticipating Chen Xiuming's concerns, Cecilia Shaniat chuckled and said, "I'll have Maria and Angelia buy more nourishing ingredients and herbs, dear. Don't worry about your body not being able to handle it."

Before Chen Xiuming could reply, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from the entrance hall, along with the voices of Maria Shaniat and Angela Shaniat talking.

In an instant, Cecilia Shaniat, like a startled cat, withdrew her hands and resumed washing the kitchen utensils as if nothing had happened.

However, her cheeks were flushed, making her look quite adorable.

Although Cecilia Shaniat dared to say those shameful things to Chen Xiuming, she dared not let Maria Shaniat and Angela Shaniat see it.

Chen Xiuming is already her husband, so there's nothing for her to worry about.

Maria Shaniat and Angela Shaniat are different. In their eyes, Cecilia Shaniat is a perfect and elegant "older sister". That's why Maria Shaniat always thought that Chen Xiuming was not good enough for Cecilia Shaniat.

Cecilia Shaniat didn't want her "older sister" image in their eyes to be shattered, so she dared not let them see her "unbearable" side.

"Sister Cecilia, let me help you."

Maria Shaniat carried the freshly bought vegetables and meat and strode into the kitchen to wash the kitchen utensils with Cecilia Shaniat.

Angela Shaniat peered through the kitchen sliding door and asked with great interest, "Brother-in-law, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Just wait patiently for lunch. Don't eat cakes or desserts yet, or you might miss lunch later."

With three people in the kitchen at the same time, it was already a bit crowded, and the addition of Angela Shaniat would inevitably make it even more cramped.

"Good~"

Angela Shaniat responded obediently, then stood in the kitchen doorway, quietly watching the three busy people.

Maria Shaniat doesn't know how to cook, so she can only do simple things like washing kitchen utensils and vegetables, while Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat are responsible for cooking.

……

After their marriage, Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat's lives quickly returned to normal, the only difference being that their relationship had made a breakthrough.

As the frequency of their sexual encounters increased, Cecilia Shaniat's strength steadily improved, while Chen Xiuming also steadily grew stronger in return.

However, compared to Cecilia Shaniat, he was still very weak.

When Cecilia Shaniat's power crossed a certain threshold, the "World Bubble" underwent an indescribable and subtle change.

Even Chen Xiuming, whose strength was weaker than Cecilia Shaniat, could clearly perceive this change and felt a strong sense of unease about it.

“Honey, is the ‘World Bubble’…”

Although Cecilia Schariac could sense subtle changes in the "World Bubble," she could only confirm that these changes were negative, but could not ascertain the specifics of the changes, which inevitably made her deeply uneasy.

Chen Xiuming's strength was weaker than Cecilia Shaniat's, but he could clearly sense the detailed changes in the "World Bubble".

Because he knew the detailed changes in the "world bubble," his unease was even stronger than Cecilia Shaniat's, yet he could not show it.

From this moment on, this "world bubble" officially enters its final stage. Although it does not appear to have changed much overall, it is actually riddled with loopholes, constantly attracting the "shadows" wandering in the quantum sea.

Even without the "shadow" that attracts the quantum sea, this "world bubble" will not reset after more than a month, but will completely disintegrate and merge into the quantum sea.

“Cecilia, don’t worry…”

Chen Xiuming gently embraced Cecilia Shaniat, while softening his tone to comfort her.

Boom!

A deafening clap of thunder suddenly exploded, shaking the windows violently.

Chen Xiuming instantly became alert, and a strong sense of unease arose from the bottom of his heart, quickly invading his mind.

"Cecilia, get up first. I'm a little worried about Maria and Angelia."

Chen Xiuming couldn't help but lower his voice.

Perhaps it was his inner unease that made him feel that an unspeakable danger was approaching, but he couldn't find the specific source.

Cecilia Shaniat nodded silently, hurriedly dressed, and walked towards the door with Chen Xiuming.

As Cecilia Shaniat grasped the doorknob, Chen Xiuming's inner alarm bells suddenly rang. A strong sense of unease jolted his nerves, making him feel a chill run down his spine and as if he were being pricked by needles.

"Cecilia..."

Just as Chen Xiuming called out Cecilia Shaniat's name, the door suddenly burst open, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere and obscuring his view.

Immediately, Chen Xiuming felt a gentle force pull him away from the door.

"Honey, are you alright?"

Cecilia Shaniat's worried question made Chen Xiuming realize who the owner of that gentle power was.
