Save this to your reading list: "After Waking Up, He Wouldn't Let Me Kiss Him Anymore". The paper husband I finally won over is going back on his word!
[Synopsis]
One moment, the Demon Venerable Liu Li was the first person in the mainland's history of a thousand years to survive a tribulation and ascend. The next, he was blasted by a lightning tribulation into an apocalypse world starved of spiritual energy, and became a beautiful good-for-nothing who had been scared to death by an "arranged marriage."
Well, then!
Liu Li opened his eyes and looked at the culprit who had scared the original owner to death: Huo Sihan, the fearsome man of Jiangbei Base, with a tall, lean build, a huge scar across his face, and frost in his eyes.
The other man gripped his chin and warned him in a low voice, "Are you really that afraid of me?"
The Demon Venerable, reborn after just experiencing a lightning tribulation: I am not.
Huo Sihan: Can you keep the bed warm? Get up there.
Liu Li looked the other man up and down, quite satisfied with what he saw, and nodded. Dual cultivation? Acceptable.
Later, when Captain Huo was trapped in a heavily infected zone and faced with certain death, that beautiful good-for-nothing of his came flying over on a sword and pierced the skull of an S-rank infected creature with one strike.
Liu Li said, looking thoroughly displeased, "You were supposed to keep the bed warm starting at the hour of the Boar. You're late coming back."
Huo Sihan: "All right, Zunzun. I'm coming back now."
Liu Li: I'm the Venerable, not Zunzun. Idiot.
Everyone: ...?
Did Captain Huo's wife really chase him all the way here just because he didn't come home on time to warm the bed!?
Who said Captain Huo's wife was a useless coward?
Rumors really can't be trusted. Anyone who believes them is an idiot.
"Apocalypse Base Zero Survival Guide, Rule One: Never get in Captain Huo's way when he's heading home on time to warm the bed!"
