As night fell, the forest was gradually covered by a mysterious black veil.
Moonlight pierced through the sparse clouds, dappling the dense tree canopy, where silver-white light intertwined with darkness, creating a serene and mysterious atmosphere.
On the ground, fallen leaves formed a thick carpet, making a faint rustling sound when stepped on.
Xi Jian had been following Qi Xiao for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask,
“What is it, exactly?”
“Xi Jian, do you miss home?”
“What’s wrong? Do you have a way to go back?”
Qi Xiao shook his head.
“Then why are you asking this?”
“Of course I want to go back. It’s so dangerous here, and we live day to day.”
“Plus, I have a bunch of dramas waiting for me to binge-watch. And at home, I can just lie down and get takeout delivered, so I don’t have to worry about starving.”
“Takeout?”
“Trendy packaging, rough disposable chopsticks with a black liquid spoon?”
“Translucent single-ply napkins with a one-dime mysterious sweet drink?”
“A one-cent discounted sausage with a one-dollar frozen tech fried egg?”
“Get out of here! Who eats that kind of stuff every day?”
Xi Jian rolled her eyes at Qi Xiao.
“But, there are good things about being here too.”
“What good things?”
“No work!”
Qi Xiao: ......
“That’s true.”
“So what exactly did you want to talk about? It’s not just small talk, is it?”
Qi Xiao stopped and turned to look at Xi Jian:
“Xi Jian, are you afraid of death?”
Xi Jian was silent for three seconds:
“...Are you sick?”
Qi Xiao silently walked in front of Xi Jian, lifted her hair, and put a cross pendant around her neck.
“What is this?”
She picked up the pendant and looked at it.
Qi Xiao’s sudden action startled Xi Jian, especially when he lifted her hair.
Although he was a bit of a jerk, he was still good-looking.
Qi Xiao stepped back and looked into Xi Jian’s eyes.
“Wifey, it’s time to wake up.”
Xi Jian looked confused and disdainful.
“Wifey? What wifey?”
“What are you doing? Are you confessing to me?”
Xi Jian tucked her hair back:
“Then at least be more formal. You don’t even have a bouquet of flowers.”
Qi Xiao looked speechless, pulled out a silver ZZ Handgun from his jie bracelet, and aimed it at Xi Jian.
“What are you doing? If I don’t agree, you’ll resort to threats?!”
Bang!
Just as the bullet was about to hit Xi Jian, her eyes suddenly burst with an enchanting pink glow.
Then her body twisted to the right without warning, the bullet grazing Xi Jian’s nose and shooting directly into the tree trunk behind her.
‘Xi Jian’ turned around, raised her hand to pull off the hair tie, and shook her loose hair.
Her pink eyes looked at Qi Xiao:
“Why did you ask me out so late~”
“Is my little darling missing me~”
Qi Xiao put away the ZZ Handgun and chuckled softly:
“Wifey is recovering well. She can even dodge bullets now.”
“Not bad, mainly because this body is good~ I can sleep soundly and have deep treatment.”
“Then can you be discharged?”
‘Xi Jian’ pounced on Qi Xiao, looking up at him with alluring, silken eyes:
“Why are you chasing me away? Are you shy about being intimate with your girlfriend?”
Her finger lightly traced circles on Qi Xiao’s chest:
“Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you two~”
Qi Xiao stepped back, and ‘Xi Jian’ lost her balance, almost stumbling.
“Who knows if you’ll suddenly pop out? What if you scare me?”
“Am I that scary~”
‘Xi Jian’ swayed her body, wrapping her hair around her index finger multiple times.
“Just thinking about your tentacles makes me soft.”
“Pfft.”
‘Xi Jian’ couldn’t help but let out a giggle.
“What, you don’t like my tentacles? They’re very comfortable.”
“I called you out to give you a heads-up. I’m going to the Order Heavenly Kingdom soon. It’s still not too late for you to leave now.”
“Go wherever you want to recover your strength. Let’s just pretend we never met, okay, big sister?”
“Little brother’s mouth is so sweet.”
“Come, big sister will give you a kiss.”
Saying that, ‘Xi Jian’ pounced on Qi Xiao and tried to kiss his face.
Qi Xiao pushed her away with both hands, not letting her get close.
“Alright, alright, when you leave, go kiss whoever you want, okay?”
“So annoying~”
“If I leave, little brother won’t miss me, will he?”
“Yes, yes, yes, don’t worry, I’ll take care of things here.”
‘Xi Jian’ chuckled softly, and then the red light in her eyes began to dim, returning to normal.
Looking at the dazed Xi Jian, Qi Xiao cautiously leaned closer.
“Wifey?”
“What wifey? Who’s your wifey?”
Xi Jian looked at Qi Xiao with an expression like he was an idiot.
“What is it with you? You keep calling out ‘wifey’ here. Did you become a spokesperson for ‘Wifey Happy’ or something?”
She really left?
That easily?
No way.
Qi Xiao took out the ZZ Handgun again and aimed it at Xi Jian.
“How boring, stinky little brother, why are you like this~”
Red light reappeared in ‘Xi Jian’s’ eyes.
Sure enough, he knew it wouldn’t be that easy.
Qi Xiao put away the ZZ Handgun and looked coldly at ‘Xi Jian’:
“Why aren’t you leaving? Can’t bear to part with me?”
‘Xi Jian’ slowly walked over, raised her hand to hook Qi Xiao’s chin, and whispered:
“I really like your eyes, like a wild dog waiting to be tamed.”
“Have one round with me, and if it’s good, I’ll leave.”
Qi Xiao pushed her away again. He could tell this guy was clearly planning to cling to him.
“Don’t you despise human bodies?”
‘Xi Jian’ covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
“Indeed, human flesh is weak.”
“But the potential is astonishing!”
She spun around in place and performed a back kick from a ballet move.
“And I like this body. Young, beautiful, pure, energetic.”
“Just a bit small-chested.”
Saying that, ‘Xi Jian’s’ chest began to swell, transforming from a plain into hills.
“That looks much better~”
‘Xi Jian’ touched her full breasts and nodded.
“It seems like something is still missing.”
With that, a pink tentacle emerged from her belly button, swaying like a small hand.
“Damn it!”
Qi Xiao raised his gun and fired.
“Plan B!”
As Qi Xiao roared, Gao Bie and K, who had been waiting, canceled their invisibility and jumped down from the tree.
