“What are you waiting for?” Chen Xing looked at her with a smile.

“Thump thump thump…” Zero’s heart was racing to the extreme at this point!

Chen Xing was feeling the same way looking at the little Zero before him, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. It was just… too enticing!

Only Chen Xing could endure for so long!

“Chen… Xing…?” Zero’s voice was trembling slightly, her eyes watery as she looked at him.

Chen Xing couldn’t help but swallow his saliva again, his voice a bit hoarse: “Yeah, I’m here.”

“Um… can we wait a bit? I still… want to wait until after we’re married, alright?” Zero tightly bit her lip, her voice soft.

Chen Xing felt that his restless heart was calmed by her soft and gentle voice. He looked again into her clear, pure, and deep blue eyes. The last hint of desire in his heart disappeared because of it.

How could Chen Xing bear to refuse the request she made? So, he let go of his persistence, chuckled lightly, and said: “Sure, I’ll listen to you.”

With that, he gently leaned down and kissed her lips.

The blush on Zero’s face quickly faded, revealing her usual pure and innocent smile. Happily, she embraced Chen Xing: “I love you~”

Within this “I love you,” there was a sense of gratitude.

Because Chen Xing had shown her enough respect. If they wanted their relationship to be lasting and beautiful, it had to be built on mutual respect.

Chen Xing, being held by her, relaxed and rested his body on hers. But he didn’t do anything else. Just being like this made him very happy.

Being able to be with her was already a source of happiness. They had a long way to go, no need to rush anything. They could savor the sweetness of the present little by little and let it flow smoothly.

In the end, when all the stored sweetness burst forth, everything would naturally fall into place. Wasn’t that a better choice?

Chen Xing rested on top of little Zero, but not entirely. His hands still exerted a bit of pressure. Otherwise, he would end up pressing Zero too hard, and her petite frame wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“Chen Xing~”

Imitating the way Chen Xing usually comforted herself, Zero gently supported Chen Xing’s back. He chuckled softly and planted another kiss on the little figure before him.

“Hmm?”

“I love you~”

“I love you too!”

【Ding~ Congratulations, Host, for successfully resisting temptation, choosing respect, and achieving the rare achievement: Ninja Turtle! Rewards: Spirit Points: 100 million, Crystal Coins: 100 million. Attribute Boosts: All Attributes: +100%! Luck: +10%! Reward Items: Ninja Turtle Banner *1】

“Hurray! So many Spirit Points!” Zero was absolutely delighted. She hugged him tightly in excitement.

Chen Xing, feeling a bit embarrassed, chuckled awkwardly twice. Inner thoughts: You’re the one who’s the Ninja Turtle, your whole family is a bunch of Ninja Turtles!

I@￥%#@~!

After a string of pleasantries…

“Sigh~” Chen Xing let out a sigh and lay down next to Zero, seemingly dejected.

Exaggerated, extremely exaggerated! Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!

“Um… why are you unhappy?” Seeing Chen Xing lying to the side, little Zero crawled onto his body, curling up into a small ball. She looked like a little cat napping on his belly.

Chen Xing’s heart melted! He immediately forgot about that ridiculous achievement and gently hugged little Zero. “It’s nothing…”

“Um…” Zero felt that he still wasn’t happy.

She remembered how he seemed happy when she scolded him earlier. So she lifted her little head and softly called out: “Stinky Husband…?”

Her sudden address made Chen Xing momentarily taken aback. The next second, he immediately broke into a smile that could almost make his teeth fall out!

“Yeah, I’m here!”

Seeing him finally cheerful again, Zero curled up contentedly. Closing her eyes, she murmured softly: “Sleepy… going to sleep…”

“Alright.”

“Goodnight… Foolish Husband~”

“Goodnight, you silly little girl.”

Zero didn’t respond; she had already fallen into a deep sleep. Curled up on his body, she slept soundly.

Chen Xing silently watched the little figure in his arms, unable to help but feel: Damn, she’s so adorable!

He then entered San’er’s system space to start training.

As soon as he entered, San’er’s voice sounded: 【Hey! Ninja Turtle? Hehehe~…】

San’er had heard the system’s rewards earlier. Even with the disabled shared vision and audio, he could guess what had happened.

Chen Xing: How to mute the system? Online and waiting, quite urgent!

Meanwhile, in a dark corner within the Forbidden Zone:

“Squeak squeak!” (Honey~ what about me!)

“Squeak squeak!” (What about me! I want it too!)

Lord Dian’er: “Cough cough… wait a moment, let me rest for a bit! My waist is about to break!”

“Squeak squeak~” (Honey, I want it too!)

Lord Dian’er, somewhat panicked: “Why do you want it again!?”

“Squeak squeak…” (Use your imagination.)

“Sigh~” He let out a deep sigh: “Perhaps, this is the trouble with having multiple wives!”

…

Meanwhile, outside the Forbidden Zone on the Spirit Continent, a massive storm had already been stirred up. The news of Chen Xing and Zero’s unfortunate demise had spread!

Their fan groups went into an uproar. Barrage comments flooded the screens!

“This is definitely fake news! I don’t believe it!”

“How did they die? We must have an explanation!”

“My goddess can’t possibly be dead! I don’t believe it!”

“Show us the video! I won’t believe it without seeing the footage!”

“Exactly! Without video, this is just a rumor!”

These were some of the more passionate fans.

Some of the less excitable fans were already discussing pooling resources to hold a funeral for Chen Xing and Zero! There were even suggestions for holding a ghost wedding for the two.

And then there were fans who wanted to do something but didn’t have a single penny in their pockets.

Like the boy at the breakfast shop… He cried so miserably, but aside from tears, he had nothing else. Goddess was gone! His spiritual support was suddenly gone with a “snap”!

Given Chen Xing and Zero’s situation, their deaths were basically confirmed. Since they had saved thousands of elites in the academy, the training academy decided to build a grand tomb for the two within the academy grounds. It would stand as a reminder for future generations of their selfless dedication!

If Chen Xing were present, he might have died from laughter, even if he hadn’t died from other reasons.

And Yun Xinghai was still sitting on the 390th floor of the Sanjiu Building. Like a sculpture, he remained expressionless, not moving for a long time!

As they say, a day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father.

Yun Xinghai had made up his mind that in this lifetime, he wouldn’t take on any more teachers. He only acknowledged Chen Xing and the mysterious person from his hometown as his masters.

However, he firmly believed that Chen Xing wasn’t dead! He believed that Chen Xing would come back someday!

Gu Meow Meow was also gazing blankly at the city below her feet. It was clear she had cried for a long time; there were still traces of tears on her face.

Xue Bufu stood by Yun Xinghai’s side, observing his determination.

“What are you doing?” Xue Bufu asked.

“Waiting for my master,” Yun Xinghai replied.

“Waiting? Just waiting like this? Sitting here doing nothing?”

“Yes.”

Xue Bufu’s gaze intensified as he spoke sternly, “Get up! What’s with this appearance?”

“Stand up and fight with me! Chen Xing taught you things, have you mastered them all?”

“Waiting for him, with you looking like this, don’t you feel ashamed?”

Suddenly, Yun Xinghai had an epiphany. He felt that what Xue Bufu said made sense!

He stood up, his gaze resolute. From this day forward, he decided to cultivate on the rooftop of this 390th floor, waiting for Chen Xing’s return!

“Meow Meow!” He suddenly shouted.

“Meow~!” A white light flashed.

The two once again transformed into their cat forms.

Xue Bufu finally relaxed when he saw this: Finally, he’s getting his spirit back!

“Let’s go!”

…

Within the Forbidden Zone…

Early morning…

“Umm…” Zero woke up from her slumber. She stretched lazily, and her little hand accidentally brushed against Chen Xing’s face.

“Hmm…?”

She lifted her head and found Chen Xing smiling at her. “Did you sleep well?”

“Yes~”

“Wanna sleep a bit more?”

“Nope~ I want to go see our secret base!”

Today, their love nest would finally be completed!
