The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Click—

The sound of the door lock turning was very soft, but to Wu You it sounded amplified countless times.

His heart started racing.

Then, the doorknob was pressed down, the door was pulled inward, and a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and with slightly gray hair poked half of her body out.

The moment Wu You saw the figure, his breath hitched.

It felt like something was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

All the prepared lines he had prepared were instantly forgotten.

His lips moved, but no sound came out.

The figure was none other than Wu Ma.

Because of the angle, she immediately spotted Hua Linlin standing at the door.

A simple, heartfelt smile bloomed on her face, and the lines at the corners of her eyes deepened with the smile.

"Linlin's here! Come in, come in!"

As she said this, she opened the door completely, turned to the side, and wanted to welcome Hua Linlin into the room.

At this moment, Hua Linlin turned her head slightly and looked at Wu You beside her.

Following Hua Linlin's turned head, Wu Ma looked at the figure standing to the side wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, completely covering himself up.

She paused, her gaze shifting back and forth between Hua Linlin and the fully armed Wu You.

Then it seemed like I understood something.

She quickly opened the door as wide as possible, eager to welcome the two of them into the house: "Are you Linlin's boyfriend? Please come in, please come in."

Upon hearing Wu Ma's words, Hua Linlin's lips curled up sharply, and her eyes also curved upwards.

She opened her mouth, as if about to say something.

But the next second, a neutral, cool voice rang out.

"Ah—"

"Aunt"

"I'm Linlin's friend, and I just happened to be here this time."

"I just came to see you with Linlin."

Upon hearing Wu You's words, Hua Linlin's smile quickly faded, and the corners of her eyes, which had been curved like crescent moons, returned to their normal shape.

Her lips twitched slightly, but she still said, "Yes, Auntie, this is my friend. He also wanted to come and see you."

Upon hearing Wu You's voice, Wu's mother immediately realized what was happening.

"oops."

"Given how tall he is, I thought he was a young man."

"Oh, so it's Linlin's good friend."

"Come on in, come in quickly."

"It's almost time to eat."

"Let's have a meal together."

Wu You opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Wu Ma had already turned and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Hua Linlin's downturned lips turned up again.

She glanced at Wu You, then went inside first.

Wu You shook his head, giving up on explaining, and followed Hua Linlin into the house.

Before my eyes was that familiar living room and that familiar dining table.

All the furnishings inside the house remained unchanged.

He looked at the dining table.

Several steaming plates were already set out there.

Braised pork belly, hot and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with scallions, and stir-fried lettuce.

These are all foods he used to like to eat.

"Come, come, have a seat."

"Wait a moment, there's one more dish, and we'll be able to eat soon."

While greeting the two of them, Aunt Wu walked towards the kitchen.

She walked a little faster than usual, probably because she felt it wasn't good to keep her guests waiting.

Seeing this, Hua Linlin also went to the kitchen and said, "Auntie, let me help you."

"Please have a seat, it will be ready soon."

Wu Ma pushed Hua Linlin out of the kitchen, then called out into the house:

"Xiao Jing, come out and greet the guests."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to carry to every room in this small house.

After the sound faded, the kitchen door was closed.

At this moment, Wu You was staring blankly at a box of pure milk on the coffee table next to him.

He remembered that every night when he came home, there would be a glass of milk on the table.

It was Aunt Wu who poured it for him.

Also included was the note that said to heat up the milk.

Then, creak—

The sound of a door opening came from the direction of the corridor.

Wu You looked up and saw a figure with a slightly gloomy demeanor walk out of the room.

Her hair was loose, neither tied nor combed, just haphazardly draped over her shoulders.

Her bangs were so long that they almost covered half of her face, leaving only a pointed chin and a section of her white neck exposed.

Upon seeing that figure, Wu You was stunned.

What happened to Wu Jing?

She just didn't like to talk much before, but at least she always made sure she looked neat and tidy.

but now……

Moreover, how come this image and temperament are so similar to my own when I first transmigrated?

Wu Jing walked into the living room, glanced at Hua Linlin, and softly called out, "Sister Lin."

Then, she looked at the person wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask with some curiosity.

Her gaze lingered on the fully armed figure for a moment.

Hua Linlin also realized what was happening and quickly said, "This is my friend, his name is—"

"An Shen. My name is An Shen," Wu You replied immediately.

Finding peace and happiness in a peaceful life, and being free from worries, is true blessing.

Since he couldn't use the name Wu You for the time being, he gave himself another name.

Upon hearing that aloof and ethereal voice, Wu Jing was taken aback.

She tilted her head slightly, and through the gap in her bangs, her eyes blinked.

She seemed to realize something: "Okay, Sister An Shen."

She misheard "安身" as "安深".

Upon hearing Wu Jing's words, Hua Linlin's lips curved upwards even further.

Then, Wu Jing took out two paper cups from the drawer of the coffee table in the living room and poured a cup of water for each of them.

As she handed the water to Wu You, Wu Jing glanced at the fully armed strange man in front of her.

Her eyes, hidden beneath her bangs, flickered slightly, as if she were lost in thought.

Then, she seemed to notice something, and her eyes shifted slightly.

Wu You also noticed her gaze.

He looked down at the little black cat in his trench coat pocket.

The little creature poked its head out, its two paws gripping the edge of the pocket, its round, dark blue eyes curiously peering into Wu You's home.

Then, its deep blue eyes instantly turned fiery gold.

At the same time, a mature, husky female voice rang directly in Wu You's mind.

"Is this your home?"

Wu You frowned, and the sword mark between his brows glowed slightly as he frowned, but he still responded in his mind, "Yes."

Wu You originally planned to leave Him at the Investigation Bureau and bring Him along when he returned.

He jumped directly into Wu You's trench coat pocket, indicating that he would accompany him all the way, and even called it "personal protection" for him, the bound person.

In this way, Wu You had no way to shake him off.

Moreover, now that the other party is already in Lanhe, given His status and abilities, Wu You doesn't think there's anything here that can be hidden from Him.

Since that was the case, Wu You simply and openly took Him with him.

He sees if He wants to see; He hears if He wants to hear.

As long as He doesn't do anything outrageous or harm anyone He cares about, He doesn't care about anything else.

"If you do anything to my family, or have any other intentions, I will kill you, by any means necessary."

Wu You slowly said in his mind.

Upon hearing this, the mature female voice fell silent for a moment:

"understood."

At this moment, Wu Jing was also stunned.

Her gaze was still fixed on the little black cat: she thought she had just seen the little black cat's eyes turn from dark blue to gold in an instant?

She had just opened her mouth to say something when the little black cat jumped out of Wu You's pocket.

Its movements were very light, and it landed on the floor without making a sound.

Then, with unhurried steps, it crossed the living room floor, jumped onto the sofa, chose the softest spot in the center of the sofa cushions, and quietly lay down on it.
