The woman stood hesitantly at the doorway, her hands hanging limply in front of her, unconsciously twisting her fingers together, her head bowed, not daring to look at Zhao Daxuan.

Zhao Daxuan smiled, put down his book, and walked towards the woman.

"Why are you so nervous? This isn't our first time together, what's there to be shy about?"

It wasn't until Zhao Daxuan took a few steps closer that he realized something was wrong. The woman's demeanor and expression were different from Li Weiwei's!

Zhao Daxuan asked uncertainly, "You...you're Shishi?"

Li Shishi kept her head down, not daring to look at Zhao Daxuan, and only responded in a soft, mosquito-like voice, "Mmm~"

Zhao Daxuan felt a surge of surprise and joy; he hadn't expected Li Weiwei to be so fast.

Originally, he only hoped to win over Li Shishi before setting off to suppress the bandits.

We must reward Li Weiwei properly later; she has truly made a great contribution!

"Don't be nervous, let's go sit down and talk."

Li Shishi obediently sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling her heart beat even faster.

Zhao Daxuan knew he couldn't rush things, since it was still early, so he decided to do something to ease Li Shishi's nervousness.

"Shishi, have you ever heard of the beautiful love story about the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, in his past life, on the northern border?"

Li Shishi looked at Zhao Daxuan in confusion and shook her head: "The Monkey King, Sun Wukong?"

Zhao Daxuan then realized that the Four Great Classical Novels didn't exist in this world yet, and the people here didn't know what the Monkey King was.

So he told Li Shishi the story of Journey to the West, from the birth of the stone monkey to his havoc in the Heavenly Palace and his suppression under the Five Fingers Mountain.

Journey to the West truly lives up to its reputation as a classic from the past. Li Shishi listened with wide eyes, never imagining that such a magical world of immortals and gods existed in this world.

By the time the story reached the point where Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, an hour had already passed.

Zhao Daxuan's mouth was dry from talking, so he drank several sips of hot water to moisten his throat.

"Cough cough, Shishi, my throat's practically on fire from talking so much. How about we call it a day?"

Li Shishi nodded with a hint of curiosity, looking at Zhao Daxuan with a probing gaze.

"Young master, you truly keep surprising us. Just how many more skills are you hiding?"

Zhao Daxuan said with a grin, "Haha, I have many more skills than you can imagine, you can discover them slowly."

Then, changing the subject, she tentatively said, "Ahem, Shishi, it's getting late, why don't we go to bed?"

Li Shishi realized that the main event of the night was about to begin, so she lowered her head and dared not look at Zhao Daxuan.

After waiting for a while, Li Shishi's trembling voice finally came through.

"I will leave everything to you, young master."

Zhao Daxuan took Li Shishi's hand and said gently, "It's time to change how you address me, my wife!"

Li Shishi's long eyelashes trembled, her breathing quickened, and she said with a blushing face, "Husband~"

Just as Zhao Daxuan was preparing his next move, Li Shishi stopped his fidgeting hand and looked at him pitifully like a wounded fawn: "Young Master, will you always treat me well?"

Zhao Daxuan's eyes were resolute as he said, "If I betray you, may I be struck by lightning!"

Li Shishi then released her grip, engulfing Zhao Daxuan like a raging fire.

Li Shishi's gentle and tender nature is different from Li Weiwei's, bringing a completely different experience.

Zhao Daxuan's performance was even better than last night after his physical attributes were improved.

[Ding! The Yin-Yang Chaos Wheel has been activated. This time, a small critical hit has been triggered, and random rewards are being distributed...]

[Constitution +5, Strength +10, Speed ​​+10, Spirit +1, Gained the skill [Iron Shirt], Full set of Divine Might Armor, Lifespan +2 years]

A familiar surge of heat coursed through his body, and his muscles swelled up again, a change far exceeding what he had experienced before.

At this moment, Zhao Daxuan's muscles were clearly defined, his bulging pectoral muscles made his chest crease look like a deep valley, and the muscles on his abdomen looked like they had been carved with a knife.

Feeling the destructive power within him, Zhao Daxuan smiled confidently. Is bandit suppression really that dangerous?

Lao Tzu's favorite thing to eradicate is bandits!

Physical fitness and mental strength have only improved relatively little, so it seems that improving these two aspects is quite difficult.

The improvement wasn't the biggest, but it was still noticeable.

Zhao Daxuan now feels that his energy has increased significantly, and his physique is slightly beyond that of ordinary people, making him full of energy.

Looking at the lifespan column again, as expected, the lifespan has also increased, remaining at two years, just like last night.

It's not much, but it feels good to have a steadily increasing lifespan.

Tonight's reward doesn't include skill points, but it adds a new skill.

When he acquires a skill, he instinctively knows its specific function.

[Iron Shirt: When activated, it makes the skin as thick and tough as cowhide, impervious to attacks from sharp weapons; even when not activated, it slightly enhances the skin's defensive capabilities.]

This is also a divine skill! It can greatly enhance one's survivability on the battlefield.

The significant increase in physical familiarity over the past few days has primarily boosted offensive capabilities.

However, survivability on the battlefield is also a crucial factor.

No matter how powerful you are, it's all for nothing if you don't have the opportunity to use it.

With the Divine Might Armor as a reward from the roulette wheel, tonight's roulette wheel really made up for his weakness in defense!

Looking at the gleaming suit of armor lying in the rotating space, it was clear that it possessed explosive defensive capabilities.

Looking at the information on the panel, Zhao Daxuan frowned.

The words "a serious illness will soon break out" hung over my mind like a persistent gloom.

Zhao Daxuan said fiercely, "I refuse to believe that this incurable disease can't be cured!"

"Hmph! If you really can't cure it, I'll just extend my lifespan to keep you from exploding!"

After taking stock of his gains, Zhao Daxuan recovered.

He realized that he still had the energy, and it seemed that he could have another round with Li Shishi without any problem.

But just as he was about to put it into practice and his claws were about to reach their peak again, Li Shishi stopped him.

Li Shishi rolled her eyes at Zhao Daxuan and pleaded, "Husband, please spare me and give me some time to recover!"

Zhao Daxuan could only reluctantly withdraw his claws, saying with some disappointment, "I'll spare you tonight, we'll fight again tomorrow!"

Li Shishi, not wanting to disappoint Zhao Daxuan, bit her lip and said, "Why don't you go find Weiwei?"

The desire that had just been extinguished was stirring again, and Zhao Daxuan was very tempted.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "It wouldn't be right for me to leave you all alone."

Li Shishi could see that Zhao Daxuan was interested, and she was a little disappointed, but she still forced a smile and pushed him off the bed.

"Go ahead, go ahead. I'm more used to sleeping alone. Maybe Weiwei is waiting for you right now!"

Having received permission, Zhao Daxuan chuckled and said, "Yes, ma'am! I love my wife the most!"
