"Sister Yanlan, this gift is too precious!"
Lin Siyin, who had just received the second mark of the dead, looked at Ning Yanlan in surprise. In her naive mind, she really thought that Ning Yanlan had given it to her.
"Really? Only valuable items can prove your family status, Sister Yanlan!" Ning Yanlan said, though she was completely confused.
The second gift Jiang Yuan gave was the intermediate talent of the Sand Scorpion, namely the Poison Needle, which, when combined with the Heavenly Poison Body, can unleash unexpected power.
The power of the Heavenly Poison Body lies in its gradual and sustained effect; the more advanced this physique becomes, the greater its benefits become, far surpassing anything a mid-level talent can achieve.
"Siyin, we only have one request for you!" Jiang Yuan said solemnly, staring at Lin Siyin.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, just tell me, Siyin will definitely do it!" Lin Siyin nodded and waited.
"Don't be a bad person!"
He can't demand that others be good people, but in his eyes, it's enough if they don't become bad people.
Even he himself cannot guarantee that he will remain untainted in the mud during the end times, so how can he expect others to?
"Don't worry, Brother Jiang Yuan, Siyin will definitely keep her promise!" Lin Siyin replied very seriously.
"Okay, then your older brother and sister will go back to sleep first!"
Jiang Yuan didn't want to disturb them. "Let's go. Are you still thinking about your position in the family?"
"Nonsense, I haven't even thought about it!"
"Then what are you spacing out for!"
"Can't I think about the future?"
"Okay, let's get some rest. We've been busy all day!"
To cope with the beast tide, Jiang Yuan barely rested, fighting from night to day, and then from day to night.
"Hey, what are you doing blocking our doorway?"
The young couple had just gone upstairs when they saw Leng Yue sitting by their room door, drinking.
"We'll switch rooms tonight. You sleep with Tang Yingjun, and I'll sleep with Ning Yanlan!" Leng Yue said without looking up.
"No, Yanlan can't leave my sight!" Jiang Yuan immediately rejected the request. He was joking; given Ning Yanlan's situation, he couldn't possibly let her leave.
Leng Yue stared coldly at Jiang Yuan. She knew Jiang Yuan was doing it on purpose, but that's precisely why she was so angry. "Do you guys snore?"
"What?" Ning Yanlan didn't hear clearly at first.
"That chubby kid's snoring keeps me awake!" Leng Yue, who came from a military background, didn't mind sharing a room with her comrades, even if they were of the opposite sex, but she really couldn't stand their snoring.
"Haha, ha!" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this.
"I knew you were doing this on purpose!" Leng Yue gritted her teeth and kicked Jiang Yuan in the shin.
However, Jiang Yuan reacted just as quickly as Leng Yue, and hurriedly said, "You agreed to this yourself, and now you want to back out and hit me?"
"Then I'll sleep in the hallway. Don't make too much noise at night, or I'll have to rest!" Leng Yue gritted her teeth angrily when she missed kicking anyone, but she still moved to the side, intending to make do in the hallway for the night.
"Our Miss Leng is truly insightful!" Jiang Yuan praised Leng Yue, then teased, "Although the conditions are a bit tough, only by enduring hardship can one rise above others!"
"You're still making sarcastic remarks!" Ning Yanlan wanted to slap Jiang Yuan's smug face. This guy was usually very gentlemanly, but he always contradicted Leng Yue.
"Tuck your legs in, I'm going to sleep!"
As Leng Yue lay down, she took the opportunity to kick Jiang Yuan before falling asleep on her own.
"Hey! This guy!" Jiang Yuan had nowhere to hide and could only be kicked innocently.
Ning Yanlan's face was tense. She whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear, "How about we let her sleep in our room?"
"That won't work, there's only one bed!" Jiang Yuan said with a bitter face.
"Why don't you sleep on the floor, and I'll sleep in the bed with Leng Yue!" Ning Yanlan glanced guiltily at Jiang Yuan, then asked, "Do you think that's okay?"
"I……"
Jiang Yuan was extremely annoyed. How could his own wife say such things? She really doesn't know her place!
The final result was obvious: Leng Yuezhen unceremoniously slept on the bed, while Jiang Yuan wrapped a blanket and made a makeshift bed on the floor.
"Darling, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!" Ning Yanlan poked her little head out and giggled at Jiang Yuan, who was lying on the floor.
"It's alright, go and rest, you've had a long day!" Jiang Yuan could only manage a relieved smile. What else could he do but kick the person out?
"Um!"
Ning Yanlan originally wanted to ask for a kiss, but after thinking about the other people present, she reluctantly withdrew.
Nothing happened that night, but both women were quiet and didn't have any bad habits like snoring or sleepwalking.
As for Jiang Yuan, he had no intention of sleeping. After using Holy Spirit Protection on Ning Yanlan at the appropriate time, he began planning his spoils for this battle.
He reaped the greatest rewards from this beast tide. Putting aside the Holy Spirit Stones and cores, he made a fortune just from the Marks of the Dead.
Of the millions of monsters in the beast tide, aside from those initially killed by explosives, he indirectly or directly caused the deaths of tens of thousands of monsters. Yet, when the war ended, he amassed 123,000 Marks of the Dead.
After pondering for a long time, he finally understood the basis for the Hand of Death to collect the mark of the dead. Apart from the monsters he directly killed or assisted in killing, some monsters whose cause of death was unknown would also have the mark of the dead attributed to him.
For example, in a battle between two armies, some soldiers who are killed by stray arrows do not know the cause of their death, but in the moment before they die, they will focus their hatred on the enemy's general. In this beast tide, he made the greatest contribution, and those monsters who died for no reason will instinctively feel that Jiang Yuan killed them.
"It seems I'll have to be more sincere with the next Death's Blessing!" Jiang Yuan pondered, gazing at the 125,000 marks of the dead.
