William looked at Alice puzzledly, “Why would you think that? You already know that Aphrodite is Hephaestus’s wife, right?”
Alice blushed deeply and said, “I feel like there’s something more between you two. A woman’s intuition is very accurate, you know. Plus, you said you have a history with her and seem afraid to meet her with me. It’s natural for me to wonder.”
“Then keep wondering!” William flatly refused to explain.
Explain?
That word hardly ever applied to him.
“How many wives have you actually had?” Alice finally couldn’t help but ask the question that had been troubling her for a long time.
William was silent for a moment, the two of them looking at each other for a long while.
Alice raised an eyebrow: “Well?”
William also frowned and said, “Counting!”
“…” Alice was so angry that her delicate body trembled, saying, “Is there that many? You need to count?”
William seriously said, “I had a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight before, and with you, it’s exactly nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.”
Alice swallowed hard, glaring at William, and said, “Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine! There are that many?”
Then, Alice took a deep breath and said, “Are you planning to add one more to make it a round number? Reach ten thousand?”
William squinted, “I don’t plan to, for now.”
“For now?” Alice was utterly lost.
William nodded and said, “I generally have only one wife at a time, unless you die.”
“!!!” Alice felt she was mistaken; she shouldn’t have asked this question.
“Did you love all your previous wives?”
After asking such a question, Alice instantly felt even more foolish.
“I loved them all, I suppose.” William said nonchalantly and confidently.
“Alright! I shouldn’t have asked you these questions.” Alice couldn’t deny feeling a bit sour.
It’s doubtful that any woman could be magnanimous enough to hear her husband say he’s had nine thousand nine hundred ninety-eight ex-wives and that he loved them all…
It’s like the saying some players use: “I’m not a scoundrel,I just want to give every girl a warm home.”
“There’s no harm in asking,” William seemed quite at ease, saying, “I’ve lived too long to dwell in the past.”
He truly doesn’t see himself as a scoundrel.
He, too, wishes to find someone to grow old with, but only recently has he been able to do so.
Reviving someone and restoring their original memories.
He witnessed the Cosmic Entity resurrect the archangel Amenadiel.
Before, even though he could revive someone or even create a person from scratch, he didn’t know how to restore their past memories.
Is a person revived under such circumstances still the same person?
Now, having seen the Cosmic Entity do it, he’s naturally learned…
But even so, he wants to know if the current archangel Amenadiel is still the same Amenadiel…
It’s like when a computer file is deleted and then re-downloaded exactly the same, even retaining all the previous records. .𝘤𝘰𝑚
At least in use, it seems the same.
Whether it’s the original seems not to matter anymore.
Alice couldn’t help but ask, “Would you forget me after I die?”
After asking, she felt it was a pointless question.
The answer was obvious!
William also seriously said, “Don’t worry, as long as you don’t want to die, you won’t die! And even if you did, I could revive you!”
Alice finally heard the answer she wanted,could this be considered a love declaration?
She was overjoyed and shyly asked, “Then why haven’t you revived your previous wives? Is it because you love me a bit more?”
William said, “Before, I hadn’t mastered this skill. If you want, I could try reviving them too.”
Alice’s complexion changed, and she quickly said, “I don’t want that, let the departed rest! I will take good care of you in their place.”
William looked at Alice with a meaningful gaze.
Take good care of him?!
Alice quickly changed the subject, saying, “Let’s go find Aphrodite now.”
“Us?” William said. He had just mentioned that he wouldn’t go.
“Yes, us together! I’m curious to see how beautiful the legendary Aphrodite really is.” Alice clenched her teeth. She didn’t inquire further about the relationship between Aphrodite and William, just an old acquaintance…
She was keen to meet her.
William examined Alice’s face for a while and then asked, “Do you know what it means to be the first beauty of the Divine Realm?”
Alice asked somewhat self-consciously, “Is she much more beautiful than me?”
William fell silent for a moment at the question and said, “Why would you ask such a thing?”
Such a question was indeed difficult to answer.
Alice was almost driven to tears by anger. Shouldn’t William have said that no matter how beautiful others are, Alice is the most beautiful in his eyes?
Upon returning to the 13th District, Isle Palace of Delightful Love, the lead red-clad guard recognized William and nodded politely upon meeting him, respectfully greeting, “Mr. Johnson, welcome! Are you here today to see our master, Aphrodite, or…”
Alice had visited the 13th District before, where she saw many unparalleled beauties.
Compared to them, she felt somewhat inferior, and even the red-clad guard in front of her was strikingly handsome, with refined features. Even Alice, a woman herself, thought the red-
clad guard looked stunning.
Especially that aura she had, simply incomparable.
William, without further ado, glanced at Alice and said, “My wife is looking for her!”
“So, you must be Alice. I’ve heard so much about you. You are Mr. Johnson’s wife. I wish you both well!” The red-clad guard, clad in silver armor, bowed respectfully to Alice.
“Don’t be so formal!” Alice couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, quickly reaching out to lift the red-clad guard’s arm.
Led by the guards in red, the two arrived in front of the Isle Palace of Delightful Love, only to see Adonis still chopping at the myrtle tree.
“William what are you here for this time?” Adonis no longer dared to confront William, given the significant difference in their strengths.
Previously, when William reprimanded him saying, “Over-
pleasing and unconditionally pursuing someone in a relationship will inevitably lead to no good end,” he had no rebuttal.
” hello,Adonis,” William greeted him with a cheerful smile.
Adonis: “…”
He didn’t know what to say to that. Seeing William acting like they were close, it seemed they were familiar with each other, but they really weren’t!
Alice then realized that William seemed to be familiar with everyone.
“You call him Adonis, is he the Adonis from the myths?” Alice, having read mythological stories, whispered to William.
William nodded, “Let’s go, we don’t need to bother with him.”
As Alice and William entered the Isle Palace of Delightful Love, a cat directly blocked their path.
“Mr. Johnson, Aphrodite said she doesn’t want to see you, and please don’t come again,” the cat said, its chubby cheeks trembling as it spoke.
Indeed, saying such things to William, this cat must feel confident that it has enough meat on its body…
William turned to Alice and said, “See, I told you it would be troublesome!”
Alice asked in confusion, “Why?”
Could it be that Aphrodite is heartbroken because of William?
