An hour later.

“How about this set?”

Lu Xuan emerged from the fitting room, hesitating.

Cheng Lingzhu was holding a box, her eyes twinkling as she looked at him.

Something felt off to Lu Xuan.

Cheng Lingzhu shook the box, her smile implying she had a secret.

“…Men’s thong?”

Lu Xuan saw clearly, “A G-string?!”

Cheng Lingzhu tilted her chin up, humming affirmatively.

“I’m a boxer-briefs kind of guy, you know that best,” Lu Xuan stated seriously.

The idea of men’s thongs was too radical for him.

Though the packaging simply showed a G-string without a model, Lu Xuan could imagine what he’d look like in it – probably like a classic bodybuilder.

He considered himself conservative and not quite fitting the G-string vibe.

“But you’d look so… um,” Cheng Lingzhu’s eyes shone as she visualized it: “Besides, it’s just for a little while, since we’ll end up wearing nothing in the end…”

“Where do you learn these wild phrases?” Lu Xuan retorted.

“From ‘Zombie Mother’ Cheng Lingzhu referenced the novel she read the day before.

Damn that ‘Zombie Mother’!

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes, “I object!”

This was a typical response of a boxer-briefs devotee when faced with a G-string.

Even though G-strings were initially designed for men.

“Hubby-” Cheng Lingzhu clung to him, looking pitiful: “I just want to try…

Unfastening clothes with teeth…”

Lu Xuan swallowed hard at the thought.

Zombie Mother, you lead many astray!

Cheng Lingzhu looked up, whispering, “Also, I saw next door, they have different kinds of stockings – thin, stretchy, smooth, soft…”

‘Curses, she’s tempting me with such methods!’

‘She’s underestimating my willpower!’

Lu Xuan took a deep breath, determined, “Fine, let’s do it!”

Seeing his wife’s triumphant smile, Lu Xuan felt outsmarted.

He added, “But this size won’t do, get a bigger one.”

He might only wear it briefly, but Lu Xuan cared about the details.

“Of course.

Cheng Lingzhu shook the box, her understanding of Lu Xuan was… Quite thorough.

By noon.

They finally finished their shopping spree.

Aside from essentials like clothes, bedding, and kitchenware, Lu Xuan also bought a bunch of computer components…

Yes, the legitimate kind.

With nothing much to do during the day, Lu Xuan planned to assemble a PC for gaming.

As an alien, he was unfamiliar with Yuan Xing’s technology.

But this didn’t hinder his understanding.

Integrated circuits, chip technology… It’s all just like formations.

Identifying new materials, refurbished ones, efficient formations, optimal combinations…

It was all elementary.

Cheng Lingzhu agreed after scanning them with her spiritual sense.

For a Golden Core cultivator, manually assembling a graphics card was easier than setting up a formation.

Lu Xuan casually used his mystical arts to optimize the electronic components he bought.

Though they seemed unrelated, in advanced cultivation, all things were interconnected and easily understood.

Returning to their residence.

Cheng Lingzhu went to their room to tidy up the bed and change the bedding.

After forcefully tearing open the divine realm of [Jing Xian] at Jinyan Overpass the day before and subduing this entity, it was nearly midnight.

So, the couple drove around Ancheng, partly to handle the minor chaos following Jing Xian’s fall and partly to relax.

Admittedly, driving in the rain at night with music blaring, without worrying about traffic safety, was exhilarating.

Tonight would be their first night spent here.

In the living room, Lu Xuan laid out the components and mentally constructed a model.

With a flick of his finger, a beam of magical light assembled everything in a blink.

After connecting the monitor, power supply, and other parts, Lu Xuan took out a bunch of boxes from his storage magic tool.

Yuan Xing’s technological development was akin to Earth’s, and so was the gaming industry.

Lu Xuan had purchased many game discs at the mall, all collector’s editions, ready to play directly on the console.

Despite the premium price at physical stores, he indulged, having come all this way.

While waiting for the computer to install its system, Lu Xuan headed to the bedroom.

Before he was admitted to the psychiatric hospital, Du’s cousin and uncle occupied another room, leaving the rest vacant.

Now, this room was put to use. Cheng Lingzhu had set up the bed and bedding she bought from her storage tool.

She bent over, kneeling at the edge of the bed, smoothing out the sheets, her form curving gracefully.

Lu Xuan embraced her from behind.

Cheng Lingzhu let out a soft yelp, relaxing into the bed.

Sensing her husband’s presence behind her, she immediately knew what he was thinking.

Cheng Lingzhu turned her head slightly, whispering softly, “…I just changed these sheets..”
