Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 72.2

Although he wanted to refuse, he remembered that this woman had saved his life once, so he reconsidered and let it go.

Han Xing nodded in agreement.

Zhang Lianmeng sighed softly, saying: “That’s great!”

Once she reached the room in the middle of the tower,

Han Xing crafted a new set of furniture for Zhang Lianmeng, including a bed, a table, a mirror, and a moonlight lamp.

Time quietly slipped into late night.

He also made her a few sets of clothes, all simple pajama styles.

In this world, this kind of convenience was a real advantage.

As long as there were blueprints and materials, you could make things anytime, anywhere.

All these basic items could be found in the Comprehensive Furniture Blueprint Collection and the Comprehensive Encyclopedic Collection of Daily, as well as the Basic Tools Blueprint.

Having worked all day, Han Xing was exhausted. He returned to his room and promptly fell asleep on the bed.

Coal lay at Han Xing’s feet. Without Han Xing’s command, it had stayed in the room for the past two days, not moving an inch.

The night deepened.

Han Xing’s castle had undergone a change unlike before, as there was another person staying here tonight.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng lay on the bed, her long legs tightly hugging a pillow. Despite tossing and turning on her side, she couldn’t fall asleep.

“Mm… so comfortable…”

“It’s been such a long time since I felt what it’s like to sleep in a bed.”

She couldn’t help but think about what had happened over the past 2 days.

Since meeting Han Xing, her life had completely transformed.

Not only had he saved her from the gnoll, but he also provided her with a warm place to stay.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng felt that this man was like a savior sent from the heavens, the light of her life.

In this perilous world, he gave her a sense of security she had never experienced before.

She couldn’t help but feel grateful for her actions at the time, secretly delighting: “Thankfully, I mustered the courage to ask you for help, hehe…”

Just then, Zhang Lianmeng suddenly wrinkled her nose.

“Sniff… sniff…”

She tentatively smelled the pillow and, realizing it didn’t have Han Xing’s scent, her face fell with disappointment.

At that moment, she seemed to realize her actions were a bit foolish.

Embarrassed, she deeply buried her face into the pillow…

…

The next morning.

Han Xing got up from bed right on time.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a stunning… no, a sensual beauty standing respectfully at the doorway, wearing only a thin nightdress and a white apron tied at the front.

That beauty was none other than Zhang Lianmeng.

In her hands, she carried two steaming bowls of rice porridge.

However, Han Xing noticed that the nightdress he provided was clearly a size too small, making it fit tightly on Zhang Lianmeng and accentuating her curves almost entirely.

At the sight of her outfit and appearance, Han Xing felt an uncontrollable rush of heat.

Damn, an apron over a nightdress first thing in the morning, what vigorous young man wouldn’t find that a test of resolve?

Han Xing quickly shifted his gaze aside, cleared his throat with a couple of coughs, and asked: “Up so early?”

Zhang Lianmeng chuckled softly and nodded, “I heard you say you eat meat every day, which isn’t good for your health, so I got up early to make you some porridge. See which flavor you prefer?”

In her hands, she held two steaming bowls of porridge, and Han Xing saw millet, red dates, and a variety of vegetable seeds inside.

“Anything is fine.”

Han Xing nodded and said: “Come in. There’s a table on my balcony, we can eat there.”

Zhang Lianmeng carefully stepped forward, following Han Xing into the room.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked around Han Xing’s room.

At that moment, she also noticed Coal lying on the bed and exclaimed: “Oh! What an adorable little dog!”

She quickly set the porridge aside, intending to pet Coal.

However, Coal immediately stood up on the bed, baring her fangs and giving her a fierce, albeit cute, glare.

Zhang Lianmeng was momentarily at a loss.

Han Xing then reminded her: “Coal is a wolf. He doesn’t like strangers touching him, so it’s best if you don’t get too close.”

Hearing this, Zhang Lianmeng gave up on the idea of petting Coal, but her gaze still lingered on the little wolf, her face full of affectionate admiration.

Zhang Lianmeng picked up the hot porridge again and sat down opposite Han Xing.

On the rooftop balcony, Zhang Lianmeng admired the view outside, exclaiming: “Wow! The view here is fantastic.”

“I didn’t expect to find living conditions like this in this world. I thought everyone was like me, sleeping in tents.”

Han Xing didn’t pursue the topic but instead tasted the millet porridge. It was warm, with a delicate texture.

He complimented: “It tastes good.”

“Hehehe, I’m glad you like it.”

Zhang Lianmeng grinned foolishly, “I know how to make many kinds of porridge and different breakfasts. I’m quite good at cooking. As long as there are ingredients, I can make you different dishes every day.”

Han Xing nodded. He had indeed heard Zhang Lianmeng mention before that she seemed to be quite good at cooking.

In such a perilous world, having someone cook for you seems quite nice.

Upon reflecting, it didn’t seem like a bad idea at all.

After breakfast, Zhang Lianmeng skillfully cleared the table and went downstairs.

At that moment, a message came through in the group chat from Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun.

Cheng Jianyong: “Brother Xing, Shen Yun and I are about to meet up. When are you coming?”

Han Xing suddenly remembered that he had mentioned meeting at the same coordinate.

However, due to the chain quest involving Zhang Lianmeng, he had forgotten about it.

Not only did he not move closer to them, but he actually ended up further away.

After thinking for a moment, Han Xing replied: “I’m working on a hidden quest here and went a bit far. I probably can’t get to you guys anytime soon. It’ll take a few days before I can make it over.”

Then, Shen Yun said: “Brother Xing, should the two of us come over to find you?”

Han Xing considered it for a moment, then shook his head and said: “There’s no need for that now. Since you two are about to meet up, focus on teaming up to level up and grab the rewards from the leaderboard first.”

“Once you’ve established the Teleportation Array, you can come over anytime.”

Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun seemed to realize this as well.

In the rewards for this leaderboard, the top 100 receive a Basic Teleportation Array Blueprint.

With their combined strength and the help provided by Han Xing, obtaining the ranking rewards shouldn’t be difficult at all.

At this moment, Han Xing paused for a moment and continued: “By the way, Cheng Jianyong, Shen Yun, I have something important to tell you.”

Both of them immediately became serious.

If even Han Xing considered it important, it must indeed be a significant matter.
