“Not changing my name or my surname, Mu Xinfey!” The woman in pajamas gritted her teeth and said fiercely.
Looking at this beauty who was at least a nine out of ten in looks and a perfect ten in figure, Ye Zhongming felt a bit disordered.
If this woman really had that name, then Ye Zhongming knew her.
Of course, she didn't know Ye Zhongming.
The woman represented by this name had a loud nickname in the apocalypse before Ye Zhongming's rebirth, the Murderous Rose! A nine-star expert known almost all over the world! Because the Murderous Rose Mu Xinfey and Ye Zhongming came from the same city, he had paid special attention to her and knew a lot about her glorious achievements, which Ye Zhongming could only look up to.
Even ten years later, a nine-star expert remained an unreachable existence, still belonging to that small group of the most powerful people! Although Ye Zhongming's six-star strength before his rebirth was decent, compared to her, he didn't even have the qualifications to be looked at directly.
Who would have thought that after his rebirth, he would meet the Murderous Rose, who hadn't become powerful yet, right away!
In that moment, the first thought that flashed through Ye Zhongming's mind was whether he should take advantage of this future terrifyingly powerful woman before she grew stronger and take her for himself.
To get involved with a future nine-star expert—how crazy and attractive that would be!
But soon, Ye Zhongming tossed that thought far away.
Because this future nine-star expert was currently wielding a fruit knife, pointing it at Ye Zhongming with a serious expression on her beautiful face, as if to say, “Don’t come over, or I’ll stab you!”
With a bitter smile, Ye Zhongming thought, could it be that his thoughts were being read? It was said that women were sensitive in this area.
“Don’t be nervous, I won’t do anything to you. So, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Having experienced ten years of apocalyptic life, Ye Zhongming had grown accustomed to thinking about problems in terms of benefits. The impulse he had just felt was merely an alternative desire for powerful strength; what he really needed to do was build a good relationship with this woman.
Because Ye Zhongming now had three choices before him. The first was to kill Mu Xinfey.
This seemed straightforward and even allowed him a moment of satisfaction and pleasure from conquering and enjoying a future nine-star expert. However, this choice obviously held no substantial benefit for Ye Zhongming. Aside from reducing the number of top-tier experts in the future world and satisfying his male instincts, it had nothing to do with his own interests.
The second was to drive Mu Xinfey away. The advantage of this approach was that it would allow Ye Zhongming to monopolize the roulette. Since this roulette appeared in Mu Xinfey's home, she might very well start her path to becoming a top-tier expert from here. If Ye Zhongming occupied this place, he could potentially walk the same path Mu Xinfey had taken, and he could very likely become a nine-star expert like her.
But he knew that even without this roulette, given his past life's experiences and memories, monopolizing the roulette was not that important to him. On the contrary, it might cause Mu Xinfey, who had no conflict of interest with him, to lose her nine-star qualification, which obviously wouldn’t benefit Ye Zhongming.
Moreover, looking at the current situation, even though Mu Xinfey was holding a knife, Ye Zhongming had twenty different ways to take her down. Since that was the case, what difference would it make to monopolize this roulette?
The last option was to build a good relationship with this woman. In the future apocalypse, he could have a friend who might not be a steadfast ally but would at least provide some support, potentially bringing him significant benefits at critical moments.
Because this woman was very likely to become a nine-star expert in the future.
So Ye Zhongming chose the third option.
