Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"I wanted to ask you something else, didn't you always get a stone as your first pull? Why are you changing your mind now? Now look what's happened, Xiao Hao is gone, are you satisfied?"

Seeing the two women starting to argue, Luna just smiled dismissively, turned around and pulled Zhang Hao back to her room.

Luna: That's it? They were so much more arrogant than the last two! I thought I was going to get kicked to death by them, but look what happened! You two can keep arguing downstairs. I'm taking Xiao Hao upstairs now! (o ω o)?

After Luna brought Zhang Hao to the room, she closed and locked the door in one smooth motion, then looked at Zhang Hao with a smile as he prepared to hide under the covers.

"It's safe inside the blanket, Luna, you'd better not break the rules!"

Seeing Luna's expression, Zhang Hao understood that no matter who he chose at noon, he was doomed. But thinking about Sister Zoya... he decided against it. It seemed Xiaowen was the better option; she'd even play games with him. o_o ...

"Oh? Xiao Hao, why are you hiding? Just wait, I'll take a shower and come out wearing my new clothes so you can see them."

Luna chuckled softly. "Oh ho, playing hard to get with me? Little Milk Hao, you've successfully caught my attention. But don't worry, when I put on my battle robes later, I don't believe you'll still be staring blankly."

"Okay, Luna, you go take a shower now, I'm going to sleep."

Seeing that Luna wasn't making any further moves, Zhang Hao quickly closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep as fast as possible. He figured that if he fell asleep, he could escape this predicament.

Luna: What are you thinking about, Xiao Hao? Even if you're asleep, your older sister will still wake you up.

Meanwhile, inside the Tower of Babel.

"What?! Where did you learn the habit of taking a nap? None of us take naps!"

Rometheus stared blankly at Zero, who had obediently snuggled into bed and asked him to draw the curtains. He couldn't recall anyone ever teaching Zero to take a nap before, and both he and Ella were night owls. He never expected his eldest son to tell him he wanted to take a nap. Who would play cards with him then?

Rometheus: I finally found someone worse than me, and after all that time I finally managed to find the time, you tell me you're going to sleep? Waaaaah! [Zero] You've broken my heart! (;???Д??`)

"I learned it from Xiao Hao, so what? You have a problem with that?"

"no comment."

Just as Zhang Hao was about to close his eyes in a daze, he heard Luna's voice beside him.

"Xiao Hao? Are you asleep? Turn around and see how your sister looks in this outfit?"

Zhang Hao yawned, turned around and looked over, and instantly woke up in the next few seconds.

"Xiao Hao, is your sister pretty?"

At that moment, Luna also put on that cosplay outfit, struck a pose in front of Zhang Hao, and gave him a flirty wink before speaking.

"Beautiful! This outfit really shows off your figure, Luna!"

Zhang Hao stared wide-eyed. Good heavens, Sister Luna, is this the kind of thing you use to test your cadres? Which cadre could stand this? After looking at those eyes with colored contact lenses, Zhang Hao could only say it was utterly astonishing.

"Hmph, you have a sweet tongue. Well then, I'll reward you. How about touching these leather pants?"

"This...this isn't right, is it? Well then, I won't be polite. (???`?)"

Zhang Hao: Since this was Luna's invitation, why would I refuse her kindness? I just wanted to keep her from being sad, and I had absolutely no other intentions.

To everyone's surprise, Luna gave a wicked smile after hearing this, and before Zhang Hao could make any move, she pressed him down, pinning him beneath her. After removing her mask, she blew a breath into Zhang Hao's ear.

"Little thing, why can't you be 18? You're driving your older sister crazy! But if you were 18... I'd have to hide you away, otherwise if Zoya saw you, you'd probably be drained dry!"

Zhang Hao: Sister, is this something I can listen to? I'm still a child. The thoughts of you guys are really a bit dangerous.

At this moment, 9527 suddenly appeared and said to Zhang Hao, who had a "painful" expression:

"It's alright, Xiao Hao. This system knows everything you were thinking. How about this: if you upgrade this system to level 5, I'll give you a pill that will make you 18 years old instantly. Isn't this the most considerate system? Don't thank me too much, I'm really understanding, Ghana!"

Zhang Hao: You've been able to eavesdrop on my thoughts ever since then? My little secret... did you steal my points and use them to buy things for yourself, 9527? (╬▔皿▔)╯

9527: Hey, I don't have any. (●ˇ?ˇ●)

Chapter 248 Sister Luna, do you know Claire?

"Xiao Hao, your face is so red! Are you shy? It's okay, come and let your big sister give you a kiss."

Luna had no idea that Xiao Hao, who was currently dazed beneath her, was complaining to his 9527. She thought Xiao Hao was captivated by her, and at the same time, she was secretly delighted. Hmph, Mai Xiaowen and Zoya, what are you comparing to me? Next time, I'll... hmph.

When Zhang Hao came to his senses, he found that Luna had already taken off her mask and was bowing her head towards him.

Zhang Hao: Sigh, I'd better not resist. Mainly because I'm afraid of hurting Luna's feelings. After all, I'm such a sensible and obedient little brother. (●ˇ?ˇ●)

After being pinned down and thoroughly ravaged by Luna for a while, Luna also took off her gear and, imitating Zhang Hao's earlier actions, crawled into the blanket. While hugging Zhang Hao, she didn't stop sucking on his cheeks, causing one side of Zhang Hao's face to be pinched by her.

"Um~~~ Sister Luna, stop for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Hao gently pushed away Luna's mischievous hand, looking at Luna as if he was trying not to laugh.

"Hmm? What surprise have you prepared for your older sister? Tell me about it."

Luna stopped torturing Zhang Hao's face, hugged him tightly, and smelled the scent emanating from him. She said softly that, in her opinion, what could be more nerve-wracking than when Xiao Hao was captured? Back then, Luna was so anxious that she almost asked Uluru to buy her a bunch of burning arrows and she would go solo Rometheus with a crossbow.

"Well then, Luna, do you know someone named Claire, Claire Ann Byers?"

As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, he noticed that Luna's arms around him tightened unconsciously, pulling him directly into Luna's enormous, wicked embrace.

"Sister Lu, I can't breathe."

But Luna was in a state of extreme shock. What was going on? How did Xiao Hao know about Claire? Could it be...?

Luna recalled the last time she saw Claire, when Claire told her that the Hafk Group had a project that could help her stand up again. But at that time, she strongly advised Claire not to accept what the Hafk Group was talking about, and that she would go to GTI to find the best doctor to cure her.

But after that incident, I could no longer contact her, except for a letter she left behind. Since then, we have lost contact. But today, I heard news of her again from Xiao Hao.

"Xiao Hao, where are you... I'm so sorry, Xiao Hao, I was just too excited and couldn't control myself."

Seeing Zhang Hao rolling his eyes in her arms, Luna smiled sheepishly. She had learned about Claire's situation and had almost suffocated Zhang Hao by using too much force.

Zhang Hao: I... I'm going to grow to 1.9 meters tall! You won't be able to suffocate me then! I want to be a real man!!!

9527: Oh dear, Xiao Hao, is he running a fever? It's still around noon, isn't it? How come this kid is dreaming in the middle of the day? And he's 1.9 meters tall? You should be happy that I didn't make him any shorter.

"Huff, huff, Sister Luna, calm down a bit. I met Sister Claire at Uncle Rometheus's place. She seems to be working for Demulan now, and she just arrived in Asara. She came to Uncle Rometheus's place to look at the files to understand the current situation in Asara."

"How did you know she knew me? Did she tell you?"

Luna was also a little confused. Had Claire told Xiao Hao about herself? Or was there some other reason?

"Hey Luna, I originally wanted to tell you this before Claire, but do you remember you called me before? Claire saw it right away."

"So... how is Claire now? Since you were able to see her, she must have received treatment from Hafk and be able to stand up now."

Zhang Hao then repeated to Luna what Claire had told him in the Tower of Babel.

"What? Was she in surgery during that power outage?"

Hearing that Claire chose the most risky option because of that power outage, Luna was so angry she almost slapped herself. She had been the one who came up with the idea of ​​cutting off the power, and she never expected it would indirectly affect Claire.

If something happened to Claire because of her... Luna didn't dare to think any further. If that happened, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"It's alright, Luna. Claire's skills are quite good now. It's just that she often suffers from phantom pain at night. I'll mix her a drink later to try it out."

Hearing Zhang Hao say that Claire seemed to be doing quite well, Luna breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she was in Asara anyway, so they would definitely have a chance to meet again in the future.

"Speaking of which, Luna, did you and Claire have something going on...?"

Luna was also stunned by Zhang Hao's sudden and explosive question, her eyes widening in disbelief. What? Wasn't Claire her best friend? When did she and Claire start having an affair?

"No...no? Xiao Hao, where did you hear that? It's completely a rumor, Xiao Hao, don't worry, your sister only loves you! (▽`???)"

"Oh, Claire told us about your experiences before, and Uncle Rometheus and Sister Ella both had such mysterious smiles on their faces. They even said that there was definitely something wrong between you two. Claire's face turned red at the time."

Luna: Huh? Claire blushed! Good grief, I considered you my best friend, and you actually wanted to...

Suddenly, Luna realized a very serious problem. Claire was someone she had grown up with, and she knew her personality perfectly well. Luna turned Zhang Hao's face towards her and asked seriously:

"Xiao Hao, tell your sister the truth, did Claire try anything with you?"

Zhang Hao: Huh? Is this the unspoken understanding between best friends? How did Sister Luna know all this? (＃°Д°)

Chapter 249 Muscle Golden Wheel

"It's alright... Claire didn't do anything to me, oh Luna, you're overthinking it."

Zhang Hao, feeling guilty, tried to turn his head away, but this little move didn't escape Luna's sharp eyes.

“Look at me and talk properly. Don’t try to lie to me. I know Claire better than you do. Tell me honestly what that guy did to you.”

Under Luna's sharp gaze, Zhang Hao honestly confessed how Claire had treated him like a cat and petted him for half a day.

"Hmph, I knew that guy wouldn't behave. How could a little boy like you possibly escape her clutches? Tell me, Xiao Hao, how are you going to make it up to your sister?"

Zhang Hao: You..........You're taking both food and money.

Seeing Zhang Hao speechless for a moment, Luna leaned in and left a few marks on his face, then smiled and said:

"Xiao Hao, you're not allowed to wash it off when you get up later. You can only wipe it off tonight, understand? I just want to annoy those other two."

After saying that, Luna hugged Zhang Hao and started her afternoon nap. Seeing this, Zhang Hao could only sigh helplessly. If Xiaowen, that jealous girl, saw this, he would probably get his skin scrubbed raw if he went to sleep in her room that night.

"Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep first. We can talk about everything after we wake up."

. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

"Xiao Hao, are you saying that you were completely powerless to resist and let Luna do whatever she wanted to you?"

Mai Xiaowen looked at Zhang Hao, who dared not look her in the eye, with a serious expression. She would often lecture him not to let Luna or Zoya do whatever they wanted to him, but now it was obvious that Xiao Hao was doing it on purpose.

"There's nothing I can do, Xiaowen. If I refuse Luna's request, she will be very disappointed."

Zhang Hao scratched his head, indicating that he couldn't bring himself to refuse in order to see Luna's disappointed expression.

Seeing his expression, Mai Xiaowen got so angry that she grabbed Zhang Hao's face and started kneading it like dough, saying:

"Oh, you little rascal, Hao, you can't stand seeing Luna's disappointed face, huh? So you mean you can stand seeing your sister Xiaowen's disappointed face? I think you're just deliberately trying to annoy me. You're really making me so angry. You'll see how I punish you tonight."

However, Zhang Hao, who has become a seasoned veteran, said that Xiaowen's usual punishments were just not letting him play on the computer, but now that he is a mature man, such punishments as not being allowed to play on the computer are completely useless to him.

Zhang Hao: Hehe, if I get bored, I'll go find Roy and learn a few more cheating tricks.

Seemingly noticing the indifference in Zhang Hao's eyes, Mai Xiaowen secretly smiled where Zhang Hao couldn't see. It seemed that she had been underestimated by Xiao Hao. Well, Xiao Hao, you just wait and see tonight. I'll show you what cruelty is, and see if you dare to anger me like this again.

Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, Zhang Hao decided to go to the gym to resume his training for a while. He knew that he had been eating and playing with Rometheus for the past few days and hadn't done anything related to training. The most he had done each day was probably cooking a few dishes for them.

When Zhang Hao arrived at the gym, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Roy? What are you doing here? This seems to be the first time I've seen you training at the gym!"

At that moment, Roy was wearing a vest and was sweating profusely as he trained his biceps in front of the mirror.

Zhang Hao then looked at Roy's arm and was shocked by what he saw. He hadn't expected Roy, who was usually bullied, to be so strong. The problem was that he had never seen Roy train before.

"Oh my, Xiao Hao, I didn't expect you to be training here. Didn't Mai Xiaowen keep bothering you to play games with her?"

Roy seemed somewhat surprised to see Zhang Hao; both of them found it hard to believe they were seeing each other again.

"Hehe, how about it? My physique is pretty good, right? I've always let you guys have your way. If you really want to fight me, I can take you down one by one with a single punch."

Roy took off his vest in front of Zhang Hao, showing off his muscles. Zhang Hao was stunned. Was Roy really good at hiding his physique? Goodness, he had always thought Roy was just a hoodlum. Who would have thought that this hoodlum would have such a great body?

"You... I don't think you usually work out. Where did you get all those muscles? Roy, tell me the truth, have you been using performance-enhancing drugs? Oh, stop it! If you keep hitting me, I'm afraid your head will turn into a pointy point."

After hearing this, Roy immediately kicked Zhang Hao. What kind of talk was that? Did someone as awesome as him need to take drugs?

"Get out of my way! Someone as awesome as me doesn't need drugs! I don't need to sleep during the day. I usually work out at night. You were probably playing games in your room back then. Oh wait, you were forced to memorize English by Mai Xiaowen. I can still hear your screams from here."

"So, Roy, does that mean you're a really good fighter?"

Zhang Hao curiously poked Roy's muscles. Hey! It's the real deal, rock hard.

"Damn, I'm kidding you. I'm super good at fighting, okay? Go and call Red Wolf over here right now, and I'll show you how to solo the strongest soldier in the Special Operations Department, okay?"

Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, Roy confidently replied that despite his usual unserious demeanor, he could even put Red Wolf to the test in close combat.

"Well... after dinner, I'll call Uncle Shenlan over for a match with you, and you can show me how it goes."

Roy: (Speechless) If you want me dead, just tell me. Do you want me to go fight Deep Blue? If you want to see me get annihilated, just say so. There's no need to be so subtle.

"What's with that look on your face? Can't you beat them?"

"What do you think? Who in the entire Special Operations Division can compete with Deep Blue? Stop giving me these impossible missions, okay? Give me something else."

Roy almost couldn't resist grabbing Zhang Hao and giving him a good talking-to, but then he remembered that Shen Lan was cooking in the kitchen not far away, so he gave up the dangerous idea.

"So, what about facing Uncle Terry?"

Roy: I'm done playing. Goodbye.
