The Max-Level Boss Just Wants to Be a Slacker [Apocalypse] – CH67

Chapter 67: Flustered

“I’m willing! I’m willing to help with anything!” Feng Wenkang said hurriedly.

As long as he could keep his life, let alone one favor—even ten favors would be fine.

Mo Xiu blinked when he heard Mo Qi’s words. They hadn’t discussed this matter beforehand, but judging from the expression on Mo Qi’s face, it was obvious he was up to something.

Still, no matter what decision Mo Qi made, Mo Xiu would support it. He had always trusted him. Thinking about some of the things Mo Qi had done in the past, Mo Xiu couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

He was also curious about what exactly Mo Qi planned to make Feng Wenkang do.

Soon after, he heard Mo Qi say, “Actually it’s not difficult. You’re pretty close with the research institute now, right? That professor contacts you from time to time and asks you to do things?”

Feng Wenkang nodded.

Ever since Professor Frank arrived at the Shanhe Base, he had indeed asked Feng Wenkang to do quite a lot.

The professor even said he needed some strong ability users to participate in research and experiments, and Feng Wenkang had been responsible for recruiting them. Besides that, all sorts of miscellaneous medicines, equipment, and supplies for the research institute had been handled by him as well.

Back then, Feng Wenkang had done these things to strengthen his own position in the Shanhe Base. Later, after obtaining his healing ability, he had felt grateful to Professor Frank.

Who would have thought that the so-called benefactor was actually his enemy?

Hearing Mo Qi’s intention, it seemed the target was Professor Frank and the research institute. Feng Wenkang immediately became energized.

That old man had deceived him and almost turned him into a zombie. If it came to dealing with that despicable professor, he would certainly give it everything he had.

“Just say the word! Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it!” Feng Wenkang said seriously.

Mo Qi leaned over and whispered something to him for a while.

The two spoke quietly together. Mo Xiu watched Feng Wenkang nod repeatedly, and by the end even Mo Xiu raised his eyebrows.

As expected of Mo Qi.

Ever since learning that Mo Qi had once been a Demon Venerable who lived for thousands of years, Mo Xiu had stopped thinking of him as simple. Hearing his plan now only made him think that the person he liked was truly clever.

After their discussion ended, Mo Qi patted Feng Wenkang on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry. After this matter is over, I have a way to remove the ‘virus’ that could turn you into a zombie. But for now, to avoid alerting the other side, it has to stay for the time being.

However, once it’s removed, you’ll probably lose your healing ability.”

Even though he needed Feng Wenkang to help him and had leverage over him, Mo Qi still laid out the pros and cons clearly. The final decision would be Feng Wenkang’s.

Hearing that he would lose his healing ability, Feng Wenkang froze for a moment.

Naturally, he felt reluctant. After all, he had experienced firsthand how many benefits this ability had brought him recently.

But then he thought about it again. No ability—no matter how powerful—was more important than his life.

It would be better to just live peacefully as an ordinary person.

He had also realized something: the man in front of him, Mo Qi, was definitely not an ordinary person.

Originally, Feng Wenkang had wanted to befriend Mo Xiu. When Mo Xiu first arrived at the base, Feng Wenkang had already felt that this person might someday become someone powerful enough to rely on.

Now it seemed his judgment had been correct. Mo Xiu was already someone influential within the Shanhe Base.

But looking at Mo Qi now… this thigh seemed even thicker.

With that thought, Feng Wenkang’s expression hardened with determination. He nodded firmly.

“Alright! I’ll listen to everything you say. At worst I’ll just be an ordinary person.”

Mo Qi was satisfied with the answer and then left together with Mo Xiu.

This trip had been quite rewarding—not only had they gained a capable subordinate to handle matters for them, Mo Qi had also conveniently healed the injury on his arm.

“So where are we going now?” Mo Xiu asked curiously.

Now that they knew about Professor Frank’s schemes, it would be better to eliminate such a hidden danger sooner rather than later. Otherwise who knew what trouble he might cause in the future?

But when he asked, the person opposite him showed a mischievous smile.

“Of course we’re going back to sleep.”

“Go back to sleep?” The answer completely surprised Mo Xiu. “Why? I thought…”

“Thought what?” Mo Qi said. “When you told me about your rebirth before, didn’t you say you wanted to live this life more easily and freely?

So relax. There’s no need to be nervous. Everything can be handled just fine. Don’t worry—with me here, we have something more important to do right now.”

Hearing the words with me here already eased half of Mo Xiu’s worries.

But he was still curious—what exactly was this “more important matter”?

When they returned to their room, however, and he saw Mo Qi lock the bedroom door and pull the curtains shut, Mo Xiu finally sensed something was wrong.

“The more important thing you mentioned… it wouldn’t be…” he asked hesitantly.

“That’s right,” Mo Qi replied matter-of-factly. “Dual cultivation.”

He smiled while pulling the curtains closed.

He and Mo Xiu were practically Dao companions already. Doing something like this was perfectly natural. More importantly, this method could quickly improve Mo Xiu’s strength and better ensure his safety.

In the beginning, Mo Qi had misunderstood their relationship and also felt guilty for not telling Mo Xiu the truth about being a transmigrated Demon Venerable, which was why he had hesitated to go further.

But now there were no more secrets between them.

They had chosen complete honesty with each other, so everything now felt only natural.

Seeing Mo Xiu stiffen slightly, Mo Qi worried he might not be ready.

He walked over, gently touching the young man’s cheek, and said softly, “Don’t be nervous. If you’re not willing, we can wait until later—”

“No, I’m willing!” Mo Xiu quickly replied.

It was sudden, but he had already prepared himself mentally for such a moment.

This was the apocalypse—no one knew what might happen tomorrow. He wanted to cherish every moment with the person he loved, including their intimacy.

The only problem was…

He had absolutely zero practical experience.

What if their precious first time ended up awkward because of him?

And there was no way to find any tutorial videos now. The apocalypse meant there was no internet, no working devices. Even books or comics would be impossible to find.

If he had known earlier, he would have prepared!

When they had searched the supermarket for supplies before, why hadn’t he thought to grab some condoms?

What a regret!

On the surface Mo Xiu remained calm, but inside he was both nervous and annoyed with himself.

Mo Qi nearly burst out laughing when he saw his forced composure, but he held it back. If he actually laughed, Mo Xiu might get embarrassed and angry.

Even so, the amusement in his eyes was obvious—and Mo Xiu caught it immediately.

Suddenly Mo Xiu felt like he was being looked down upon by someone from ancient times.

Although the cultivation world wasn’t exactly the same as ancient China, the world Mo Qi used to live in had many similarities.

Gritting his teeth, Mo Xiu tried desperately to recall every useful piece of information he had ever seen.

But the more anxious he became, the less he could think clearly.

He vaguely remembered reading somewhere that it wasn’t easy for two men to do this—especially the first time. It could be painful, and the one receiving would suffer quite a bit.

But back then he hadn’t had anyone he liked, nor had he imagined he would fall for a man.

So he had only glanced at the information casually and remembered nothing afterward.

Mo Xiu didn’t want Mo Qi to suffer like that.

But at the same time… he didn’t particularly want to suffer either.

What should they do?

These thoughts passed through his mind quickly. Suddenly he remembered something from his previous life—the image of the man holding his corpse, going mad in front of everyone.

And what Mo Qi had once said: a Demon Venerable could reverse time and allow someone to be reborn—but only at the cost of burning his own soul.

If Mo Qi had been willing to endure such immense pain for him…

Then what was a little hardship in comparison?

With that thought, Mo Xiu steeled himself and said to Mo Qi:

“Then… wait a moment. I’ll take a shower first… No, actually—you go first. After you’re done, I’ll go.”

Although he had made up his mind, his voice still sounded soft and uncertain.

Mo Qi almost couldn’t hold back his laughter this time, but he obediently went to the bathroom anyway.

Not because anything had to happen—if Mo Xiu still wasn’t ready later, they could always wait.

But watching Mo Xiu act so nervous and flustered was honestly quite amusing.

Mo Qi closed the bathroom door and washed himself carefully as usual. Afterward he casually used a small cleansing spell to make himself feel even fresher.

Cultivation really was convenient. Now that part of his strength had returned, using small spells like this was effortless.

When he finished, he put on a bathrobe and opened the door.

But the moment he stepped out, a dark blur rushed past him.

“Okay, now it’s my turn to wash!” Mo Xiu said nervously.

Then—with a loud bang—the bathroom door was shut again.
