Apocalypse King: Recruiting S-Tier Beauties With My Ruler System
Chapter 204: Midnight Hunting - Fox and Beast

Chapter 204: Midnight Hunting - Fox and Beast

The weapon was so expensive, and as I wanted to complain to the System sister, she responded first!

[Do not worry, this weapon isn’t cheap for a reason.]

’Oh, do tell me?’

Meanwhile, Yifei looked at the spear with a curious sparkle in her eye. She reached out and let both hands grasp the smooth shaft. Then her eyes widened, with a slight grimace as she tried to lift it.

"Ngh, it’s a little heavy."

[The weapon cannot be damaged or destroyed as long as the wielder uses Fire-Type Qi]

[With Shen Yifei’s growth, the weapon will improve after each stage upgrade.]

[Finally, only Shen Yifei and you can wield this weapon; the weight of the spear for other people will increase tenfold for each stage they are.]

’Hmmm, that’s quite a good deal, but tenfold for each stage? So it would weight forty times more for a Stage four?’

"Do you like it?"

The System Sister outdid herself. To be honest I was half against spending so many points with only fifty thousand remaining I planned to send a lot to Old Zhou using my new connection to Wang Yin.

Shen Yifei started to twirl the glaive slowly at first, the fox tail swishing through the air, before she rapidly sped up, slashing the air; her movements looked refined. She looked like someone who had trained in martial arts for years, with expertise like a mixed martial arts veteran focused on weapons and armed combat.

"Haa... Ngh!"

’She looks like a golden fairy dancing in the moonlight.’

I didn’t know if it was because of the moment, but my feelings for Yifei holding the glaive made my chest tighten as my heart throbbed faster.

A heavy glaive larger than Shen Yifei, yet her muscles tensed and bulged with each strike, and the sword thrust moved with enchanting grace.

Deng!

The blade cut into the concrete with a thunderous sound, creating a deep crater and a burst of dirt and dust.

"I love it... I really, really meant it, John! It’s like it was made for me!"

Fei-Fei rushed at me, her body glowing slightly as the fiery qi flowed through her veins and muscles, constantly keeping the fox on the glaive shimmering golden.

Did I make the right choice?

[Of course you did, look at that smile...]

[Shen Yifei’s Affection Increased to MAX]

Before the notification registered, her warm body leaned against me, her slightly damp hand pressed against my chest as she gazed up at me. Her beautiful blue eyes were beaming with a glowing aura.

"John, how can you be so good to us?"

I looked down at her and realised that I’d been overcomplicating many things and trying to come across as mysterious or some kind of leader from the novels I used to enjoy.

Maybe the best policy was just being myself.

"At first, because I liked pretty girls and wanted to make you my women."

Her blue eyes narrowed as if I just said something strange, she seemed to retract slightly into herself, and her fingers gripped my chest tighter, but I didn’t finish here.,

"No that’s actually not true... after learning more about you, spending time with you I honestly never expected to fall for you Yifei, you were everything I dislike in a woman."

"Really?"

"Well, do you remember how we first met?"

The day we met, she was terrified, weak and got someone killed because she fled from the group and tried to cling onto me.

Her face suddenly flushed red.

"I-I’m sorry..."

"I’m not saying you should be. What I’m saying is, I didn’t expect to fall for a girl who just happened to follow me, but now... You’re special to me, as much as Mu Qinglan and Jiang Roulan... so this might have been expensive, but you’re worth it. So if you feel it’s heavy, then hunt lots of monsters and help me grow stronger."

I wanted to know how Yifei felt and what she thought about me, but I was apprehensive. However, she smiled brightly and parted her lips, revealing a row of white teeth.

"I’m the same John, because I only liked you for your good looks at first..."

"Hey now..."

"Hehe~ Well now, I think you’re special to me too. When I am lost in the darkness, it’s always you who comes to save me. So, I promise that I’ll become as strong as I can, as fast as I can."

Her hand brushed my cheek, sending a shiver down my spine and causing me to blink rapidly.

"I like you, not because of the spear, or... what we do together. You saved me from death and gave me a second chance to make my life matter. So please let me stay by your side and make myself a useful woman."

The words came from deep inside Shen Yifei’s heart.

"You don’t need to be useful, or anything... Just remain yourself."

"What if I am selfish?"

"It’s fine."

"Then if I keep being cheeky, and tease you?"

"Then I’ll get revenge."

With each sentence, her lips moved closer, our bodies pressed together under the moonlight... she let the glaive hit the floor, as she gradually closed her eyes. I could feel her warm breath as we closed in...

The moment our lips connected, a searing heat flowed into my body, and I felt the warm embrace of her soft flesh. A small gasp escaped Yifei’s throat as her fingers grasped my shirt, but she didn’t resist, instead leaning deeper and kissing me back with a fire I hadn’t felt before.

We stayed like this for several moments before our bodies separated, our hands linked, and a strange expression crossed her face.

"I’m going to do something... to clear this heat. Will you watch me?"

Shen Yifei lifted the glaive and stepped towards the edge of the rooftop. A small rusted emergency ladder led to the bottom, and after a few moments of waiting, I heard the sound of the door opening below, followed by a low growl from a zombie.

However, I didn’t rush after her; I leaned on the rooftop railing and waited.

***

Yifei’s body landed, her hips lowering into a squat as she dropped, holding the glaive over her shoulder. Yifei spread both legs apart and looked at the shambling zombies.

I sat on the edge, observing her quietly.

She asked me to watch her.

Now wasn’t the time to show off or insist on my bravado, but to watch Shen Yifei and the growth she wanted me to see.

This moment was important to her and to us as a couple.

Two zombies rushed towards her, their mouths hanging open, drooling with a rotten black fluid, each step strange and unpredictable.

’Fei-Fei...’

To my surprise, it was Yifei who moved first.

She pushed off the ground with her light leg and swung across the air diagonally with her glaive, cutting towards both zombies.

Slash!

The sharp blade of golden light swept through both zombies, cutting their necks and sending their heads flying while blood sprayed out from their bodies.

Yifei used the blade’s momentum to carry her towards the horde, dashing towards them as she twirled the blade from left to right, and pulled it below her left thigh.

Whoosh!

She then struck out horizontally like a reed in the wind. The movement was both beautiful and powerful as she swung at them and ripped through the zombies’ bodies, leaving them in pieces on the ground.

"Damn."

Yifei looked back at me, her face beaming with a slight, shy expression.

"I had a lot of time at without you at the base. So, I practised fighting every day after we came back from the University."

However, the next moment she turned back, narrowed her droopy eyes, and took a defensive stance; she seemed to sense something. That’s when I noticed the approaching pack wasn’t Z1’s but a pack of two S2’s and a Brute.

The speed types didn’t care for her preparation and shot towards her with S2’s strange, unpredictable, and swift movements. She blocked one with the edge of her spear and then struck upwards into its shoulder.

"Hah!"

She screamed out while trying to pull it free from her glaive.

Slash!

The blade severed its arm, causing the zombie to drop to the floor. It crawled forward, still determined to bite her, but Yifei’s attack was successful. She kept her distance from the brute, its huge body slow and unable to keep up, while the other speed type continued to harass her.

’Come on...’

Yifei jumped back as she dodged a swipe from the zombie, then spun the glaive behind her back before pushing it forward with a thrust at the zombie’s head, piercing its skull and stomping on the first speed type.

[ZKP 100]

[EXP 200]

However, the movement of the attack threw her off-balance and exposed her left side to the brute, which closed the gap with an unnatural burst of speed.

"Yifei!"
