During the days that Gu Mingyue was away, the construction of the Mingyue Base continued, and everyone was full of energy.

The gate to the Bright Moon Base was reinforced by a metal-type ability user, and now from a distance, it looks like two large gold teeth embedded in the dusty city wall.

Outside the city wall, Wei Jianguo was still directing his black panther mount to dig a pit and then pounce on the ground to set up a trap. When they heard that Gu Mingyue had returned, everyone stopped what they were doing and went to welcome their boss back.

Although there were many of them, they knew how to follow the rules and all left the main road of the city gate open.

"Boss, where should we put these things?" Wei Jianguo directed his subordinates to unload the weapons from the truck.

"This is a high-frequency sonic cannon newly developed by Hope Base. You can put it in the armory first. In half a month, I will lead you to storm the humanoid monster's lair. These weapons are very useful. Protect them all properly."

Gu Mingyue said to Wei Jianguo.

"Okay." Upon hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Wei Jianguo immediately joined his subordinates in loading and unloading the items into the armory.

Su Xiaoyu hadn't seen Gu Mingyue for several days. Originally a rather introverted girl with glasses, she was now chattering away to Gu Mingyue.

"Boss, I've been killing monsters really hard these past few days while you were gone, and I'm already a level three early-stage ability user now."

She said proudly, "Boss, your level three superpower is amazing. Yesterday, I ripened three acres of rice paddies all by myself. At this rate, I can ripen all fifty acres of farmland in just half a month."

"Well done." Gu Mingyue looked at her approvingly. Now that there is no safe land, food is of paramount importance!

The others also wanted to go up to Gu Mingyue and tell her what they had been doing these past few days, but they didn't dare to chat with her as enthusiastically as Su Xiaoyu.

After all, they arrived later, unlike Su Xiaoyu who stood by Gu Mingyue's side from the very beginning of the apocalypse.

They all looked at Su Xiaoyu standing next to Gu Mingyue, their eyes filled with envy. If they had lived near Gu Mingyue back then, would they be able to walk side by side with Gu Mingyue now, just like Su Xiaoyu?

"Boss, your golden curls look so beautiful in the sunlight!"

When Guan Yue saw Gu Mingyue return from upstairs, she quickly grabbed Guan Hongtao's hand and ran downstairs like a cannonball.

Upon seeing Gu Mingyue's new look, he immediately showered her with compliments.

Gu Mingyue smiled and patted her head, then walked back to Junyue Mansion with them.

Although Su Xiaoyu and the others were full of curiosity, they didn't ask anything. They heard that the Nirvana Merchant Guild suffered heavy losses on its first entry into the Black Domain.

Presumably, the Lord of the Black Domain must be extremely difficult to kill. As long as their boss can return safely, that's good enough. Everyone tacitly refrained from inquiring about Gu Mingyue's experience of entering the Black Domain.

Gu Mingyue was finally back in her own territory, feeling extremely relaxed. She exchanged a few pleasantries with Su Xiaoyu and the others before heading straight to her room. After a quick shower, she collapsed onto her soft bed and slept for a full day and night.

The next day, Gu Mingyue didn't rush out of the house. Instead, she went into the space to check on Xinghe's recovery.

Xinghe now possesses the same level four superpower as her, and her physical energy is much more abundant than before. Those wounds that could have been fatal were healed during the few days that Gu Mingyue stayed at the Hope Base.

Gu Mingyue frowned slightly as she looked at the red mark on Xinghe's neck, then gently touched the red line with her delicate fingertips.

As I touched it, it gradually changed. The red mark was in the middle of the uniform collar, while the red mark behind it was hidden under the collar.

The wound had long since stopped hurting, but after Gu Mingyue gently stroked it, Xinghe felt a deep, bone-deep itch emanating from the red mark, like new tissue growing from the wound—a pleasant, subtle itch.

A blush rose to his handsome face.

"Boss, these marks will all disappear in three days, so don't worry." Xinghe's large, well-defined hand grabbed the mischievous, warm little hand. If he didn't grab it, his master's hand would slip under his collar.

"We've already kissed, why care about this?" Gu Mingyue's red lips curled up, her peach blossom eyes sparkling with laughter, as if she were looking at some precious treasure, her eyes holding nothing but the Milky Way.

"How are your other wounds healing? Let me see." Gu Mingyue tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Xinghe's fair neck, and pressed her warm lips to his rosy lips.

The person in his arms was so warm, so vibrant, so soft; she shouldn't have been touched by him, a creature from another dimension.

He should be Gu Mingyue's most loyal housekeeper, able to take care of everything in the space for her, and willing to give his own body and consciousness for her, but he should never touch her. They are not beings from the same time and space, and cannot give birth to new life.

He feared that Gu Mingyue would despise him because of this in the future. If that day ever came, he was afraid he would go crazy, kill the person his master liked, and then self-destruct.

But then he would no longer be able to protect his master or take care of everything in the space for her, and he was worried about that.

No wonder the book says that emotions can affect a person's judgment. Xinghe's long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, occasionally brushing against Gu Mingyue's excellent nose and brow bone.

Even though everyone was telling him not to get caught up in this emotional whirlpool, something deep within his consciousness was pulling him down to the bottom of the sea, making him sink, and directing him to tightly wrap his arms around Gu Mingyue's slender back and deepen the kiss.

At the same time, a strange current slowly flowed through his body, and after Gu Mingyue unbuttoned his uniform jacket, the current all converged on a spot below him, making him extremely embarrassed, his ears and neck turning as red as if dripping blood.

The books inside his body began to turn page by page, eventually settling on several books unsuitable for children, which then began to play on a scrolling screen.

"Xinghe, you love me too, right?" Gu Mingyue's warm breath brushed against his ear. "I trust my feelings."

"Master, you shouldn't have fallen in love with me." Xinghe said he shouldn't, but his strong arms were as if welded to Gu Mingyue's back, not letting go even a little. Then, before Gu Mingyue could say a word, he picked her up horizontally.

The two of them flashed and arrived at the most comfortable large bed in the space.

Xinghe gently and solemnly placed Gu Mingyue on the bed.

Outside, a full moon was surrounded by glittering stars, casting a soft glow on the ground, creating a rare moment of tranquility.

The peach trees in the space were all in full bloom, emitting a rich fragrance. Not only were the peach trees in bloom, but all the fruit trees in the orchard and the vegetables in the vegetable garden were also blooming with their most beautiful flowers.

It seemed as if they were celebrating for Gu Mingyue and Xinghe.
