My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 489: Chapter 323: Each with Their Own Charm, Breaking Through Together

The three women giggled. They didn’t bother hiding the truth from Zhang Youyou and simply told her.

Zhang Youyou exclaimed, ”Oh my God! You all jumped three levels just from Dual Cultivating with Brother Xiang? Brother Xuan and I have done it so many times, and I’m still only Tier Two. It’s not even close.”

When she told Xu Xuan, he felt a pang of shame but immediately shot his wife a glare. ”How can you even compare us to him?” he retorted.

Li Xiang was a freak of nature. There was no comparison.

Something like this all came down to talent, and Li Xiang’s was clearly astounding.

Still, Xu Xuan wasn’t worried that Zhang Youyou would get any funny ideas about Li Xiang. For one, they already had a child together. For another, they were childhood sweethearts with an exceptionally strong bond.

Besides, Li Xiang probably wouldn’t even look twice at her. It went without saying for Jiang Cai’Er and Luo Feifei—they were lofty Celestial Maidens. Even Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui, who were like Fairies gracing the mortal world, far surpassed Zhang Youyou.

Zhang Youyou was simply expressing pure envy, nothing more.

Xu Xuan said, ”Honestly, you have nothing to be envious about. They might be getting a lot of perks, but at the end of the day, they’re just his mistresses. They can’t ever be made official.”

”I guess so, but...” Zhang Youyou trailed off.

Xu Xuan asked, ”But what?”

”But a lot of people don’t believe in marriage; it’s not like everyone aspires to it.”

In reality, marriage was what it was. Plenty of people lived their entire lives without getting married and were perfectly happy and carefree.

After helping Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui solidify their new Realms, Li Xiang departed for Africa alone.

The material resources there were a secondary concern. Africa had always been poor, with not much to offer in that respect. However, it was teeming with wildlife, and his research had shown that Africa also had numerous Bat Caves.

Africa is one of the world’s hotspots for bat diversity, with many bat caves scattered across its tropical and subtropical regions. These caves are typically natural formations ideal for bats to inhabit and breed. For example, a significant number of Bat Caves can be found within the baobab trees of Madagascar.

Furthermore, the African Continent is home to a vast array of other wildlife, such as African lions, hyenas, African Elephants, African leopards, black rhinos, African buffalo, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and chimpanzees.

On his way to Africa, Li Xiang stopped in India for three days. He helped himself to the offerings at the major Temples and plundered a number of wealthy Upper Caste individuals before crossing the Arabian Sea to the region of Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya.

In the past, when Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui had their Dual Cultivation sessions with Li Xiang, it was always in a hotel or out in the wild—they never had a fixed place. They started thinking. The clothing factory’s renovations were complete, but the construction team hadn’t officially handed it over. Meanwhile, the second phase of the Shelter had plenty of empty rooms. They had picked out their spots long ago—a five-bedroom, two-living-room suite for each of them. So why not go ahead and get those renovated? It would make it much more convenient to manage the clothing factory business in the future.

Resources were tight in the Underground City, and most residences weren’t very spacious. The number of suites with five bedrooms and two living rooms was extremely limited—no more than eight in total. Given their status and position, however, it was only natural that each of them could claim one.

Li Xiang had already promised them this when they first picked out the suites. So now, while he was away, the three women excitedly began drafting design plans for the renovations, hoping to give Li Xiang a surprise later on.

Yao Yao even designed a separate pleasure room to serve as her and Li Xiang’s love nest. When Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui saw this, they added similar features to their own plans, though their chosen styles were vastly different.

But they all had one feature in common: excellent soundproofing.

As for the cost, they paid for it themselves. With their current wealth, a mere renovation fee was nothing. When Li Xiang returned this last time, he had privately given them loads of supplies, including a chest of gold and jewelry for each of them. Furthermore, their handful of shops and Eternal Night Media’s livestream sales were all raking in astonishing profits.
