This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 202 You are... an ugly monster?

Lin Feng's body stiffened abruptly—was there even a need to guess?

He knew that voice like the back of his hand.

"Are you... an ugly monster?" He deliberately dragged out the words, his tone full of mockery.

"Hey! You're the ugly one! Guess again!" came a protest from behind, both angry and coquettish.

Lin Feng suppressed a laugh and pretended to suddenly realize something:

"Oh, I see, it's... the most beautiful, cutest, and most skilled doctor in the entire prison, Vivian!"

"That's more like it!" Vivian beamed and immediately let go of her hand.

Lin Feng turned his head and saw that Vivian was still wearing her signature white coat, her long golden curly hair was tied into a high ponytail, and a few strands of hair fell down her cheeks, making her look more lively and energetic than usual.

She blinked her large, lake-blue eyes, like a curious kitten, and tilted her head to ask:

"What are you doing wandering around here all alone so early in the morning?"

Lin Feng curled his lips into a smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

"What else could it be? Probably because he misses someone so much that he came here to try his luck and see if he could 'bump into' her."

"Really?" Vivian's eyes instantly lit up as if they were filled with starlight, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. Her little bit of doubt from before was immediately thrown to the winds.

Lin Feng's smile deepened as he looked at her excited expression.

"Yeah, I can't believe my luck, it really happened. This must be... telepathy?"

Before she finished speaking, Vivian happily tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and planted a quick and soft kiss on his lips, making a crisp "chu" sound.

........................

Studio:

"Brother Feng's sweet talk skills are maxed out, aren't they? He just throws them out like that. If I were Vivian, I'd be totally confused too!"

"Hilarious! What do you mean by 'telepathic connection'? This is just a 'standard script template for time management masters'!"

"My legs would have given way by now. You just came out of one room and can immediately start coaxing another. I have to admire your mental fortitude."

"High-energy warning ahead! Leng Meng is 30 seconds away from the battlefield! Run, you two!"

"Help! My toes are already digging into the ground for Lin Feng! What if I run into him?"

"Vivian's smile is so sweet, she's completely unaware that she's in the eye of the storm. I feel sorry for her for a second."

"I suggest renaming the live stream to 'How to Survive Between Two Female Bosses'."

On the surface: a sweet kiss; in reality: Lin Feng's heart rate has already soared to 180, hasn't it?

........................

At this moment, alarm bells were already ringing in Lin Feng's mind.

Although they have the ability to "coexist peacefully" as a safety net, ensuring that they cannot truly harm each other, let alone attack themselves.

But if the two women were to start a fight over this situation, it would be an absolute "disaster" that he couldn't handle.

Lin Feng acted decisively, grabbing Vivian's wrist with a light but firm grip that left her no room to break free.

"As the saying goes, 'A person who eats is a person with a soul who eats!' If we dawdle any longer, all the good food in the cafeteria will be gone! Let's go, let's go eat!"

"Huh? Now? There's still plenty of time!" Vivian stumbled from his tug, somewhat confused. "Don't be in such a hurry!"

"If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking! Say what you need to say while you eat!"

At this moment, Lin Feng's will to survive completely transformed into action. Without saying a word, he grabbed Vivian and practically ran towards the cafeteria.

A few withered leaves, stirred up by the wind, swirled and slowly drifted down into the garden.

........................

Breakfast time.

Lin Feng and Vivian occupied a table by themselves, while Evelyn, Vassim, and Anna sat at the next table.

Vivian used her privileges to add fried eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit to Lin Feng's plate.

This attracted frequent glances from several trainee prison guards nearby, who couldn't hide their envy.

The two ate and talked in hushed tones, their eyes sparkling with smiles, and their occasional eye contact almost seemed to convey a deep, intimate connection.

Their oblivious and intimate atmosphere practically screamed "adulterous couple" in plain sight.

After the meal, Lin Feng, Evelyn, Vassim, and Anna followed Vivian to the infirmary as usual to collect their daily mandatory "nutritional supplements."

When it was Lin Feng's turn, Vivian slipped another bottle of "Kidney Tonic" into his palm under the guise of handing him the medicine.

This time, Lin Feng showed no disgust on his face. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he secretly unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped it down in one go.

Afterwards, the four went to the task assignment area.

Qin Yue maintained a poker face. When Lin Feng and Evelyn approached, Qin Yue's finger lingered on the reader for an extra half-second, and her eyelids slightly lifted.

"Your patrol assignment for today: Zone Δ, 10:00-11:00 AM."

Lin Feng understood; Leng Meng must have already spoken to Qin Yue.

"There's still some time before ten o'clock," Lin Feng said to Evelyn. "Let's all go back to our dorms and rest for a bit, so we can all get some rest. We'll meet at the entrance to Zone Δ at ten o'clock sharp."

Evelyn nodded and turned to walk towards the women's quarters.

........................

At 10:00 AM sharp, outside the main gate of the Δ District Alloy.

Lin Feng and Evelyn arrived at almost the same time.

However, to Evelyn's surprise, Deputy Warden Leng Meng was already standing at the door waiting.

She wore a crisp military green uniform that accentuated her sharp features, and her long hair was neatly styled in a bun, revealing her smooth, slender neck and cold, sharp eyes.

Evelyn frowned almost imperceptibly.

The deputy warden personally led a routine patrol?

This is clearly unconventional.

But she quickly suppressed the doubt in her eyes, didn't ask a single question, and simply straightened her back, standing even more upright.

Lin Feng understood and nodded to Leng Meng.

Leng Meng didn't waste any words, she just raised her chin in acknowledgment.

Lin Feng stepped forward and inserted the access card into the card slot.

Although Leng Meng could also enter, since it was Lin Feng's patrol mission, he was the one who should swipe his card to enter.

With a soft "beep," the green light turned on.

A series of dull mechanical turning sounds came from inside the heavy alloy door. The door sank inward and then silently slid open to one side, revealing a downward, slightly narrow passage behind it.

The three entered one by one, and the alloy door closed silently behind them.

She hadn't gone far when Leng Meng suddenly stopped.

With a flick of her wrist, the black knife appeared in her hand.

The scabbard was dark, and the fine, dark patterns carved on it shimmered with an eerie light under the dim lamplight.

Leng Meng turned around and handed the black knife directly to Evelyn, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Take it."

Evelyn was clearly taken aback. This sword carried immense weight in the Abyss Prison, serving as a direct symbol of the deputy warden's power and authority.

"I'll lend you this knife for now," Leng Meng said, looking at her with her voice still cold. "With it in hand, no prisoner in District Δ will dare to touch you."

"The rest of the patrol work is now in your hands!"

"Lin Feng and I," Leng Meng's gaze turned to the end of the dark corridor, "we need to go to cell number 0 to take care of some things first."
