Especially their gaze towards him had become much softer than before.

Even one day, Xu Su Lan briefly came out to join them for a meal.

Throughout the meal, nothing happened, and Zhao Yu quietly returned to his room afterward.

“It’s confirmed; he must have suffered a serious injury. He probably can’t be intimate with women anymore…”

The three sisters rejoiced, feeling less burdened as they went about their chores.

After finishing on the bicycle, Xu Xiu Lan approached Xu Meng Lan, looking a bit uneasy, “Sis, it seems something is missing from the house…”

“What’s missing?!” Xu Meng Lan paused on her work.

“It’s that small rolling pin, it seems to be gone…”

“Really? I’ll look for it later…” Xu Meng Lan gasped.

By the afternoon, Xu Xiu Lan found that the small rolling pin had returned.

At the dinner table, the family of four, unusually, sat together once more.

Xu Meng Lan looked at Zhao Yu, feeling an indescribable emotion.

When Zhao Yu tormented her daily, she felt immense pain and just hoped for an end to her suffering.

But now, Zhao Yu might be incapacitated, she felt a strange sense of emptiness.

During the quiet hours of the night, she couldn’t help but reminisce.

After the meal, Zhao Yu made an announcement.

“I’m planning to go out again…”

“All?”

“There still seems to be a lot of meat left at home…”

“We don’t have much rice left. Carbohydrates are essential for the body…” Zhao Yu mentioned about how important carbohydrates was to them.

“But didn’t you say our trading post has been occupied by mutant beasts?” Xu Meng Lan was confused.

“Yes!”

“I’m planning to visit Meng House Village. It’s a settlement of a few hundred people…”

Meng House Village was about ten kilometers away. Not too far, but a round trip would take at least three days.

After all, daytime was the active time of mutant beasts, forcing people to take shelter and preventing travel.

“Isn’t that… dangerous?”

Xu Meng Lan was apprehensive. Over the past few days, she had grown to appreciate this version of Zhao Yu. If he died outside, the sisters’ lives would become even harder.

“It’s okay!”

“I’ve been training these days, and 1 feel my strength has increased…”

It was true. Whether it was the effect of the gene potion or due to his transmigration, every time he finished training, he felt a surge of new strength.

The ceiling, which was three and a half meters high, he could now reach with his head just by jumping.

This kind of jumping ability was unprecedentedly strong.

Zhao Yu had a plethora of knowledge related to genetic technologies in his mind. He was well-acquainted with many ways to enhance strength. At the very least, on the lunar base, he believed he could easily create a more potent potion to enhance physical attributes without any issues.

However, during his past conflicts with alien civilizations, they often used particle black holes and light-needle strikes, which were immensely powerful, beyond human reach.

He selectively overlooked all technologies that enhanced individual strength. After all, the technology points at that time were limited, and there seemed to be no need to focus on that aspect.

In this world, the importance of individual strength has intensified, making it seem necessary to delve into this field.

As far as he knew, Meng House Village was one of the few nearby places that had a hospital and doctors.

Besides procuring some carbohydrates, Zhao Yu also intended to gather some materials to synthesize a gene potion.

Zhao Yu began packing and preparing to set off shortly.

Not long after, Xu Meng Lan walked in.

“Honey…”

She felt uneasy, wondering why her feelings had shifted so rapidly. If Zhao Yu did not mistreat her and had no ill intentions towards her sister, he was a good man.

Throughout their recent interactions, Zhao Yu had completely fit her definition of a good man.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m worried about you…” Xu Meng Lan was torn. A few days ago, she wished nothing more than for the man in front of her to die. Now, she feared his death outside.

Zhao Yu gently patted her head, chuckling, “It’s okay. Good people die young, but the wicked live a thousand years. Someone like me… how could I die so easily?”

Xu Meng Lan hesitated and remained silence.

Zhao Yu said directly, “If you have something on your mind, just speak up.”

Xu Meng Lan bravely uttered, “Honey, 1 want to know, why have you changed so much these past days?”

After all, this was the man she had spent a year. If he really disappeared, she wanted to understand Zhao Yu’s current mindset.

Zhao Yu was unsure how to explain. Should he say that his soul had changed, and the husband who mistreated her was gone?

Zhao Yu expressed regretfully, “Meng Lan, 1 owe you an apology for my behavior this past year.”

“Eh?”

Xu Meng Lan was never expecting an apology from Zhao Yu.

“It’s okay. You’ve protected the three of us sisters. I’m already very grateful…” While she said this, deep down, she still held resentment for Zhao Yu’s past violence against her.

“After what happened with Xiu Lan, I felt profound remorse when 1 returned to the room…”

“I never thought I would become such a person that I hated when 1 was young. Yet, I grew up become one of them…l deeply regret it.”

“I want to change and spend the rest of my life making up for the mistakes I’ve made.”

Xu Meng Lan was astounded. She never expected to hear such words from Zhao Yu.

Could it be that he genuinely had a change of heart and wished to become a better person?

If that was the case…

Xu Meng Lan was filled with tears and sobbed uncontrollably on the spot.

Zhao Yu quickly embraced her, “It’s okay. I will never hit you again…”

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s real. Have I hit you these past few days?”

Xu Meng Lan hadn’t expected such a twist in her life.

However, soon, she froze.

The hardness at her waist, she reached out and felt a familiar sensation.

He wasn’t castrated?!

Xu Meng Lan was shocked. If Zhao Yu wasn’t castrated, then why had he spared her youngest sister?

“What’s wrong?”

Zhao Yu noticed Xu Meng Lan’s sudden stop in crying and her hand grabbing at his private parts, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Honey, is there something wrong down there?”

“What should be wrong with it?” Zhao Yu asked.

“No, nothing…”

Xu Meng Lan still held back her true feelings and made an excuse about preparing dried food and quietly left.

When Zhao Yu was about to leave with his belongings, indeed, Xu Su Lan was absent. Only Xu Meng Lan and Xu Xiul Ln were there to see him off.

With their complex expressions and various emotions, Zhao Yu took out the pistol from his waist and handed it to Xu Meng Lan.

“If I don’t return within a week, it means I’m dead. You two will have to rely on yourselves…”

“This…”

Xu Meng Lan took the pistol with disbelief. Could he really trust her with such a weapon?

In the past, not to mention pistols, even sharp knives were kept in a safe. The knives used for cutting meat had to be returned after use. Now, Zhao Yu had entrusted all these to her?!

Xu Meng Lan was deeply shocked, feeling like she was seeing the man in front of her for the first time.

“Off to go. See ya!”

Zhao Yu smiled and turned to climb up the ventilation shaft..
