After the great battle, the population of Hope City decreased by one-third. Ji Yuetong said that this time was still considered good.

In the past, many people would die just to deal with the Corpse King.

This time, under Zhang Lin's leadership, they dealt with the four zombie kings with almost no effort, and the number of deaths was much smaller.

Despite the fierce battle just yesterday, Hope City did not quiet down the next day.

No one dared to rest.

For two consecutive months, we could hardly leave our homes and there weren't enough supplies. Who dared to rest?

Of course, this excludes Zhang Lin and his women.

When the midday sun shone through the curtains into the room, Zhang Lin finally woke up.

An Qingge slept soundly in his arms, her face serene.

Last night, Zhang Lin went to great lengths to make up for the grievances his first wife had suffered during this period.

Although Zhang Lin was much gentler now that she was pregnant, he wasn't as rough with her anymore, but...

If the intensity isn't enough, time will make up for it; but if it takes too long...

It's only because An Qingge's physical condition is better than before that she definitely couldn't withstand it.

Even so, it was only because Zhang Lin repeatedly used the Yin-Yang Ring to restore her strength that she was able to recover; otherwise, her condition would have been far more serious than just fatigue.

She was completely naked, covered only by a thin blanket. Her undulating curves and the faintly visible white skin attracted Zhang Lin's gaze, making him reluctant to look away.

Although Zhang Lin had casually played with and admired all of An Qingge's beauty last night, he was still deeply moved when he saw her again after waking up.

"Never mind, business is more important!" Zhang Lin shook his head, dispelling a certain impulse in his heart. Although there was nothing to do today, and it wouldn't be a problem to do it a few more times, he had agreed with An Qingge yesterday that they would discuss some serious matters today.

New goal!

Zhang Lin had wanted to bring this up last night, but An Qingge was, after all, a woman. It had been a long time since she and Zhang Lin had been intimate. Now that they were finally together, he brought up these things, and An Qingge still got angry.

Therefore, Zhang Lin could only try his best to calm her down and then talk about these things the next day.

Before An Qingge woke up, Zhang Lin reached under the blanket and gently tickled her lower abdomen.

In her sleep, she felt uncomfortable and twisted her body to express her dissatisfaction.

But those hands became increasingly excessive... Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, opened her eyes, and glared angrily at Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin lowered his head and kissed her luscious red lips, laughing, "The sun's already high in the sky, aren't you getting up yet?"

"Can't I sleep a little longer?" She was a bit grumpy when she woke up, but she couldn't bring herself to say it to Zhang Lin, so she could only sit up helplessly.

As soon as she sat up, the blanket slipped off her body. Somewhat shyly, she raised the blanket with both hands to cover the large expanse of scenery.

"We've been married for so long!"

Zhang Lin mischievously snatched the blanket and threw it aside.

An Qingge rolled her eyes at him, then blushed and rummaged through her clothes, putting them on one by one before daring to meet Zhang Lin's gaze.

Second floor restaurant.

There was still some cold food on the table; An Qingwu, Ji Yuetong, and the twin sisters had all eaten lunch.

Zhang Lin and An Qingge sat at opposite ends of the table, eating their cold food and discussing "important matters."

"The next two months will begin with a month of extreme cold, followed by a month of extreme heat, and then... the new era will begin!"

Zhang Lin said slowly, "At that time, those who have memories of their past lives will see their strength increase by leaps and bounds, and we must obtain more rewards..."

"Don't tell me all this. Do you think I would refuse to help you just because I'm jealous?" An Qingge said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "I know you're not that kind of person, but saying this might make you feel better."

"Hmph..." An Qingge snorted uncomfortably, then said, "I have something to say beforehand!"

"you say."

“You can look for women, but you can’t just take any woman. At the very least… they have to be from respectable families!” An Qingge said. “You can’t bring tainted women home just for a reward!”

“Of course,” Zhang Lin immediately agreed.

"Also, you need to check the character of the women you choose. If you find a few scheming ones, our family will turn into a palace drama!" An Qingge added.

Zhang Lin naturally nodded in agreement.

What An Qingge said was actually what he was thinking too. Now that there was another person to help him oversee things, he couldn't be happier.

"So, how do you think we should develop new goals?" Zhang Lin asked her. "We can't just put up ads on the street, can we?"

Posting ads to recruit a harem makes him seem like a pervert...

“I’ve thought about this before, and I think it can be done like this…” An Qingge was prepared and immediately began to speak, but halfway through, her expression turned resentful, “You’re such a jerk, you actually need me to help you find a woman!”

Zhang Lin could only pick her up, place her on his lap, and kiss her cheek to comfort her for a long time before she could continue speaking:

"The extreme cold weather will be here for a month soon. At that time, in addition to renting out the houses in Villa No. 5 and Villa No. 77, we can also rent out a few rooms here on the 16th..."

Villa No. 5 is the villa where Luo Jinxin challenged Zhang Lin and lost.

Number 77 belonged to Li Jing. After An Qingge and the others killed Li Jing, Zhang Lin went to the city lord's mansion and took over the house, registering it under Ji Yuetong's name.

An Qingge's idea was simple: renovate Villa No. 16 and rent out the rest of it, except for the place where she and others lived, when the extreme cold weather came.

Of course, the purpose of renting out Villa No. 16 is not to make money, but to select suitable candidates.

The tenants of Villa No. 16 can only be women, and specifically, women who are attractive and clean.

After they move in, An Qingge can evaluate them. Two months of getting to know them will be enough time for her to choose a new wife for Zhang Lin who is of good character and has a clean body.

Zhang Lin was overjoyed after hearing An Qingge's idea. He couldn't have come up with such a solution if it were him.

She truly is a virtuous and capable wife.

"Qingge, I really have to thank you!"

Overjoyed, Zhang Lin grew even more fond of An Qingge, and in the restaurant, he began to unbutton her clothes.

"You...you have no shame?" An Qingge was completely stunned, her face flushed red, and she frantically tried to resist with her hands. "This is a restaurant, Xiao Wu and the others might come over at any time!"

Zhang Lin didn't care. "We're all on the same side, what's there to be afraid of?"

After speaking, he continued with his hands.

An Qingge truly couldn't accept it and could only plead, "Not here, let's go back to the bedroom!"

Zhang Lin softened, and seeing that she really couldn't accept it, he could only carry her back to the bedroom.

That afternoon.

Outside Villa No. 16, a rental advertisement was posted, listing several rules personally set by An Qingge.
