261 The Water Level Has Dropped

At this point, He Xing’s tone was more or less sorrowful. Du Yue had been wondering if these girls knew that they were being sold as commodities. Now it seemed that they knew, and it was obvious that they were not dissatisfied with it.

“What’s with that expression?” Du Yue asked.

“I’m just wondering, why do they have to have a group of wives and concubines when they come to the blue planet?”

Du Yue thought He Xing was thinking about something else, but it turned out that he was just curious about this. Du Yue looked at He Xing playfully. “Why did you suddenly think of this? Don’t tell me you’re also…”

Before Du Yue could finish, He Xing looked at her with a serious face. “No way! Don’t you dare spout nonsense!”

Du Yue could not help but laugh when she saw his fearful expression. “I didn’t say anything. Why are you so nervous?”

He Xing looked at Du Yue and said in a serious tone, “I just don’t want you to misunderstand me. I’m different from them. I’ve never wanted to be with anyone else. I only like you.”

Seeing how serious He Xing was, Du Yue could not bear to tease him anymore. She nodded. “Of course, I know that. Don’t be afraid. I won’t misunderstand you. Not to mention the interstellar people, even many men on the blue planet have crooked thoughts. They want a gentle and virtuous wife at home, but they also want a fanatical and unrestrained lover. This has nothing to do with one’s background. It’s entirely one’s own choice.” Of course, Du Yue would not misunderstand He Xing just because of what other interstellar people did.

That was the end of the topic. He Xing continued, “I listened to them for a while. They didn’t talk about anything of value. They were just flattering the men. From what they said, their clothes, food, shelter, and transportation were all provided to them by the celestial lord, and they were willing to work like cows and horses for him in the future to repay his kindness. I stayed for a while, but they didn’t talk about anything of value, so I came back.”

Du Yue understood what was going on. The celestial lord’s impassioned speech on the fourth floor was just to fool everyone. As for those he really wanted to win over, he would take them directly to his residence and even give them delicious food and beautiful women. Whether it was before the apocalypse or now, this method of buying people’s hearts had always been very effective, and almost no one could resist.

Who did not want to eat and drink well while surrounded by beautiful women? Especially now, when everyone’s desire to live a comfortable life was even more urgent than before. Du Yue laughed sarcastically. “Aren’t they afraid of being discovered by others when they’re roasting meat so brazenly down there? If others were to learn of this, what would that celestial lord do?”

There was no good solution for the time being, so Du Yue did not overthink it. “Where has the water level dropped to?” she asked He Xing another question.

“I took a look just now. The water level is probably on the second floor.” That was the only good news Du Yue had heard today. In the base, most of the buildings were two stories tall. As long as the survivors could climb to the top of the second-floor buildings, they did not have to be afraid of being washed away into the sea. The water level was retreating quite quickly. If this continued, it would probably completely fall tomorrow. However, when that time came, deciding whether they should relocate or rebuild the base would be a tricky problem.

When it was time for dinner, someone knocked on the door again, but this time it was not for them to go downstairs. The person who knocked on the door first asked how many people were in the room. After confirming the number, the man directly took out two steamed buns from a shopping cart and handed them in, “His Excellency the celestial lord said that we can’t go down and gather at this late hour. He specially arranged for us to bring food to everyone. After eating, you should go to bed early.”
