Lu Yu's voice escalated, brimming with palpable anger. The refuge he had meticulously selected from a myriad of options, the sanctuary he had prepared in anticipation, was now occupied by strangers. The very individuals who had taken over his haven and were excluding the owner.
This situation stirred a fury within him. The catalyst of this entire predicament was the woman standing before him. This foolish woman. However, she had the sense not to disclose the location of her hidden weapons. If these intruders were to acquire his crossbows and hand axes, complications could arise.
Upon witnessing Lu Yu's fierce demeanor, Yan Yun was terrified to the point of tears. She understood the truth in Lu Yu's words. If other monsters had pursued him earlier and she hadn't opened the door immediately, he would have likely perished outside. But still…
"Yan Yun, whether you like it or not, you are my woman now!" Before Yan Yun could respond, Lu Yu's voice echoed again, noticeably calmer than before. Yan Yun, holding back her tears, looked at the young man in surprise, unsure why he had made such a sudden declaration.
Lu Yu, unfazed, continued, "As my woman, I can provide you with protection, but I have no obligation to protect others. If you want to survive and reunite with your parents, don't make foolish decisions on your own."
"I…I don't know what kind of people they were?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu mention her parents, Yan Yun couldn't hold back her tears. They flowed freely.
At that moment, her only intention was to save people. She didn't have the time to consider other factors. Who could have predicted that these people would be so selfish?
They prioritized their own safety and barred Lu Yu from entering the door.
"You dared to open the door for them without knowing who they are?
You…" Hearing Yan Yun's words, Lu Yu was about to lose his temper. But remembering that Yan Yun had tried so hard to open the door for him, he swallowed his words.
"Oh, forget it, things have already happened, and there's no point in talking about it!"
In reality, Lu Yu knew very well that Yan Yun couldn't be entirely blamed for this incident. After all, Yan Yun was inherently kind-hearted. The apocalypse had arrived in less than two hours. It was understandable that she hadn't adapted her mindset yet.
With this thought, Lu Yu decided not to argue with her any further. He left the room, returned with the food he had previously stored in room 8006, and offered it to her.
"Here, let's eat something!"
Lu Yu handed over some bread, ham, and yogurt. Simultaneously, he also tore a piece of bread and began to devour it. Before Yan Yun woke up this morning, Lu Yu had already eaten. But hunting monsters was energy-consuming, so he was now extremely hungry and needed to eat a lot.
Looking at Lu Yu's ravenous eating and the bun in her hand, Yan Yun bit her lip, lost in thought. After a while, it seemed as though she had made a decision.
Her lips parted slightly, and she slowly opened her mouth. "Lu…Lu Yu!"
"Speak!"
Lu Yu was a little impatient, clearly, his anger had not subsided.
"Right … I'm sorry!
I … I didn't do it intentionally … oh oh … I really didn't do it intentionally … I didn't know they could be so selfish…sorry…" As Yan Yun spoke, tears fell again.
At this time, she was overwhelmed with emotions. After learning about what Lu Yu had done to her last night, she harbored a deep resentment towards him. After all, regardless of Lu Yu's reasons, it was a violation of a woman's will, a deed despised by normal people.
Before Lu Yu was blocked by those guys, she felt a deep sense of guilt towards Lu Yu. It was her actions that had put Lu Yu in danger. Later, when Lu Yu killed the aunt, her emotions were filled with fear. After all, murder is something that everyone fears.
And now?
Not only did Lu Yu not blame her, but he also declared that she was his woman and that he wanted to protect her. He even got her something to eat.
At this moment, her heart was suddenly moved. Was she beginning to reflect on herself?
"Okay, don't cry!"
Lu Yu casually comforted her while eating, "I can't blame you for all of this!"
Yan Yun took the initiative to apologize and admit her mistake. It was a bit of a surprise. A woman who can take the initiative to admit her mistakes is rare in this world. { Facts }
Lu Yu felt relieved when he realized Yan Yun was the heroine of the novel. After all, the heroine possessed inner and outer beauty, and was compassionate. She was nothing like those unreasonable women who could never qualify as a heroic female lead.
"You...you really don't blame me?"
Yan Yun asked as she wiped away her tears, feeling slightly better upon hearing Lu Yu's milder tone.
"Thank you, Lu Yu, I promise…I promise this kind of thing will never happen again."
Yan Yun seemed to be making a promise to Lu Yu, but also to herself. After saying this, she, who had vomited many times without eating breakfast, had her stomach immediately make a 'grumbling' sound of protest. At this moment, she was no longer hypocritical, and opened a piece of bread and ate it in large bites.
Hearing Yan Yun's words, and seeing Yan Yun's gulp of bread, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. In the end times, if you want to get by better, you need to keep getting stronger. There are several ways to become stronger.
Apart from ordinary people, looking for treasures and hunting monsters to get crystal cores, killing the protagonist to capture the opponent's ability is also one of the main ways to improve strength.
Yan Yun is undoubtedly the heroine of the story. Lu Yu, a former gamer, realizes he could gain attributes by causing harm to Yan Yun.
However, he is unwilling to kill her just for a minor boost. Instead, Lu Yu sets his sights on a different goal - to change Yan Yun's fate and strip her of her heroic destiny.
He believes that making her his own woman would sufficiently alter her fate and cause her to lose her status as the destined heroine. Though drastic, Lu Yu sees this as a preferable alternative to simply killing Yan Yun for personal gain.
Lu Yu's lips curved into an evil smile as he pondered his next move. The atmosphere was charged, and he decided to test the waters.
"Yan Yun!" he called out, catching her attention.
She looked up, her expression curious. "Um?"
"Call me your husband," Lu Yu said, his voice low and deliberate.
"I want to hear it from you."
Yan Yun blinked, her chopsticks hovering mid-air.
"What?"
Her disbelief was evident.
Why was Lu Yu, who had been furious and lethal just moments ago, suddenly asking to be addressed as her husband?
The abrupt shift in his demeanor left her baffled.
Lu Yu chuckled, enjoying her confusion. "Well," he explained, "we did share a bed last night. So, it doesn't hurt if you call me your husband, right?"
"But…" Yan Yun hesitated.
"We hardly know each other."
"You nearly killed me earlier," Lu Yu pointed out. "Isn't this a way to make amends?"
Her anxiety grew. "But you can't force me…"
"Make up your mind quickly," Lu Yu warned, his eyes glinting. "Or I might do something you won't like."
Yan Yun's emotions swirled. She had cried earlier, torn between guilt and grievance. Now, she found herself bullied by the enigmatic Lu Yu. With no pity in his eyes, he pushed the food aside, waiting for her response.
Summoning her courage, Yan Yun took a deep breath. "Fine," she said, her voice louder. "Husband!"
Lu Yu's unexpected proposal had turned the tables, leaving Yan Yun both flustered and intrigued. Their strange connection seemed to defy logic, but perhaps fate had other plans for them. As the tension hung in the air, Lu Yu reveled in the power dynamics, eager to see how this unusual relationship would unfold.
