As soon as he finished speaking, Elijah immediately felt a hot gaze fixed on him.


    He turned to see Jasmine, her eyes sparkling with a hint of flirtation, staring at his Red Fruit.


    Elijah then remembered that Jasmine was likely still a first-tier ability user.


    "How about I give this to you?" Elijah offered, handing over his Red Fruit.


    Jasmine eagerly took it and ate it without hesitation. Just like Olivia, Jasmine sessfully advanced to the second tier.


    This further confirmed for Elijah the effectiveness of Red Fruit No. 4.


    Jasmine, excited, couldn''t wait to showcase her new abilities.


    She casually picked up a knife and fork from the table, and in front of everyone''s curious eyes, demonstrated her temperature control power, visibly heating the utensils to a red glow.


    "Wow, how high is that temperature?" Olivia eximed in surprise.


    "It matches my abilities quite well!" Grace added, unable to hide her excitement.


    Her second-tier lightning abilities could produce simr high temperatures when applied to metal, though it took a bit longer to heat up.


    However, it was highly effective for killing zombies!


    "Maintaining such high temperatures for a long time is quite draining for me!" Jasmine exined with a beaming smile.


    Everyone was pleased to see them advance to the second tier and spected whetherrge-scale production of Red Fruit No. 4 could lead to further advancements for them as well.


    Taking advantage of the distraction, Jasmine approached Elijah and whispered, "Tonight, same ce, you can do whatever you want..."


    With that, she wiggled her curvaceous figure and left.


    Same ce...


    Elijah recalled their previous reckless escapades in the small woods, feeling a fiery sensation rising within him.


    "Hmph! Hmph! Are you expecting a lot of dates tonight?" Fiona teased, sitting down next to Elijah with a half-smile.


    "I could meet you first," Elijah replied, his hand sliding around her waist. Fiona''s silky evening dress made her appear both elegant and sensual.


    "I''m not interested..." Fiona said dismissively, but as Elijah''s hand slid up her slit, she let out a soft moan.


    "I need to talk to you about something serious..." Fiona said, grabbing his misbehaving hand.


    "You talk, I y," Elijah said with a grin, suggesting he would continue his yful behavior.


    Fiona gave him a disapproving look.


    "The ten Seeds of Consciousness you left have been used up. Six were used, including one for Ivy when she advanced to the second tier at Quentin''s ce. After that, I didn''t waste any more Seeds of Consciousness even though more people in their team awakened."


    "Well, controlling the four top leaders at Quentin''s ce is sufficient since it''s nearby, and issues can be resolved more easily!" Elijah nodded approvingly.


    "After news of our awakening agents spread, many people came to trade in the past few days. I selected five of them based on their distribution. These five are leaders from smaller settlements."


    "Did none of them want to join us?" Elijah asked curiously.


    "Some did, but I didn''t agree. I can''t guarantee the character of these individuals! Those without organizations were sent to Quentin, and those with organizations are temporarily kept as friendly allies to observe their future actions!"


    Fiona didn''t mention that those greedy for Azure Isle''s environment or the awakening agent form were dealt with, either sent away or eliminated.


    The show of strength from Azure Isle had made potential troublemakersply with Fiona''s alliance strategy.


    Elijah could guess this even without Fiona saying it. In this world, power is everything!


    That''s why he continued to pursue power and work hard to help the women around him be stronger. Experience new stories on mvl


    In the early days of the apocalypse, things were indeed chaotic.


    But after a couple of months, as everyone adapted to the new world, became familiar with the ways of the apocalypse, and established some unwritten rules, things would improve.


    In his past life, Elijah was in a simr phase, moving between various settlements, trading supplies, and exchanging information.


    As the day drew to a close, everyone was tired from the engaging conversation and gradually returned to their rooms. However, each person stole a nce at Elijah before leaving.


    Elijah noticed, feeling a mix of warmth and concern.


    Hmm… where to go tonight?


    As Elijah hesitated privately, Be grabbed his arm and said, "Elijah, recently someone exchanged for an unfamiliar spirit nt. Come take a look!"


    "Unfamiliar?" Elijah followed Be into the spirit nt cultivation room.


    Once the door was closed, Be turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a passionate kiss.


    Elijah was momentarily taken aback but quickly began to reciprocate with equal fervor.


    As time passed, their clothes started to scatter on the floor. With no ce to lie down, they continued to stand,peting with each other.


    At times, Be would take a break, lifting her legs off the ground to be held by Elijah. Despite the effort, Elijah didn''t mind, carrying her around.


    After a long while, as their emotions calmed, Elijah looked at Be''s flushed, delicate face and affectionately said, "This reminds me of when Daisy and I came to Azure Isle to scout, and when we returned, you were just as enthusiastic…"


    "Hmph, back then it was just me and Daisy. Things are different now!" Be replied with a yful snort.


    "But your ce in my heart has never changed!" Elijah gazed at her with deep affection.


    Be couldn''t help butugh at his words, then gave him a yful eye-roll. "Only Daisy would fall for your sweet talk!"


    With that, Be jumped down from Elijah and began picking up the scattered clothes. "I''m done here. I need to train now, so go find your other lovers."


    Elijah understood Be''s good intentions—she didn''t want him to monopolize her time on his first day back—but he couldn''t shake the feeling of being a mere constion.


    "I''ll stay with you today," Elijah said, wrapping his arms around Be.


    "I don''t want to deal with a bunch of jealous women tomorrow! If you want to stay, let''s talk about it in a few days…" Be said.


    Elijah decided not to press the issue, recalling his previous arrangement with Jasmine.


    As they both tidied up, Be also took the opportunity to update Elijah on the situation with the spirit nts in the cultivation room.
