"In a few days, I'm going on a long trip, and I don't know if I'll be able to co back." Li Xiu said.
"What's happened? Didn't you already replace the Chairman to participate in that life-and-death battle? Why is there still sothing?" Li Ming'Er's eyebrows, like willow leaves, were almost knitted together.
"Do you trust ?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ming'Er and asked.
"Since I left Longevity Island, you are the closest person to . If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?" Li Ming'Er rolled her eyes at Li Xiu, saying angrily, "Tell , what exactly happened?"
"If you trust , then don't ask anything. After I leave, you should take Zai Zai to the City of Light. If I can co back, I will go to the City of Light to find you and explain everything to you. If I can't co back..." Li Xiu paused, then smiled and said, "If I can't co back, you will know everything then."
Li Ming'Er stared at Li Xiu for a long ti, remaining silent. Li Xiu was sowhat unnerved by her gaze before Li Ming'Er finally spoke, "If you don't co back, I'll avenge you."
"No need." Li Xiu thought to himself, "Not to ntion that you are not a match for Li Boyang, even if you have the ability to kill him, how could I let you bear the na of patricide."
"Then I will wait for you in the City of Light, you have to co back." Li Ming'Er's eyes burned as she stared at Li Xiu, unwavering.
She seed delicate, but beneath it, there was a stubbornness that Li Qingyi did not possess, unlike Li Qingyi who was understanding and knew to sympathize with others. But this stubbornness used on Li Ming'Er is not a derogatory term, for stubborn people often more easily enter others' hearts because they have already laid their hearts bare before you, without any concealnt.
"Alright." Li Xiu agreed solemnly.
Li Ming'Er's face softened a bit, her seductive face assuming a deliberately fierce posture, "If you dare not keep your promise, even if you hide in hell, I will drag you out and give you a good beating."
"When have I ever disappointed you with the things I've promised?" Li Xiu said, taking out the Longevity Treasure Chopsticks he had borrowed and returning them to Li Ming'Er.
"What does this an?" Li Ming'Er's expression turned cold again, her eyes like daggers staring at Li Xiu.
"In case anything happens, you should first save your life. I don't want to co back and only be able to fulfill my promise at your grave." Li Xiu smiled.
"Bah, who can harm this lady in this lousy place?" Li Ming'Er puffed out her chest with a proud look.
"Better safe than sorry, you take it first." Li Xiu said.
"Alright, I'll take it." Li Ming'Er reached out and accepted the Longevity Treasure Chopsticks, but like a magic trick, placed another Longevity Treasure Chopsticks in Li Xiu's hand, causing him to smile wryly.
"What you give , I will take. What I give you, you must also take." Li Ming'Er's crescent-shaped eyes looked even more beautiful.
"This... I..." Li Xiu was speechless.
"What? I don't want to find you at your grave to fulfill my promise later." Li Ming'Er interrupted Li Xiu.
"You..." Li Xiu wanted to say sothing, but was interrupted again.
"Better safe than sorry." Li Ming'Er smiled like a little fox.
"Alright." Li Xiu reluctantly accepted the Longevity Treasure Chopsticks originally carried by Li Ming'Er.
Li Xiu t everyone one by one, even Shale was summoned by Li Xiu to receive so resources and the Light Planting Technique's thod.
The only one Li Xiu hadn't t alone was A-Fei.
As days passed, the bride-to-be had already ascended to the Divine Position, but still had only one talent skill to show for it, nothing else could be seen, even the Light of Truth was absent.
In appearance, the bride-to-be had changed greatly from before.
Previously, the bride-to-be's clothing was too simple and plain, apart from a set of red clothes, she didn't even have a pair of shoes, barefoot like a red-clothed version of Sadako.
Now, the bride-to-be was fully adorned with a phoenix coronet and bridal attire, her red wedding dress embroidered with strange patterns, the patterns seed stitched with red crystal silk, and the phoenix coronet was embedded with countless red gemstones, even the embroidered shoes on her feet were inlaid with rubies.
With each movent, she seed to pulsate with red glow, as if cloaked in rosy light.
Li Xiu could sense the enormous energy within the bride-to-be's body, but for so unknown reason, even though she had ascended to the Divine Position level, she still couldn't fight; even against the weakest demonic spirit, she would just stand behind Li Xiu.
"Could it be that she can only reveal her abilities after ascending to Unparalleled, or is she fundantally a useless demonic spirit, no matter how good the quality, what use is it if she can't fight?" Li Xiu was sowhat frustrated.
Originally counting on the bride-to-be to show qualitative changes after ascending to the Divine Position, considering her extre Aurora quality, she might be of great use, but the result turned out to be useless.
For days Li Xiu had been suppressing the light energy within his body, but already felt he could hardly suppress it any longer. If he hadn't been suppressing it all along, he might have ascended to Unparalleled days ago.
"Once I was desperately trying to upgrade level, now I have to desperately suppress it, this world is indeed peculiar." Li Xiu sighed lightly, ca to A-Fei's door, and knocked on her room door.
"Co in." A-Fei saw Li Xiu, just said plainly, didn't ask anything.
Li Xiu handed a string of keys to A-Fei, "These are the keys to the Vault in the City of Light… This is the key to the City Lord's Mansion… This is the key to my personal vault... and this... the key to my old house... visit it whenever you have the ti… better tidy it up once in a while..."
"Anything else?" A-Fei took the keys, but still didn't ask anything.
"No." Li Xiu thought for a mont, finally shook his head.
"Understood." A-Fei said expressionlessly.
"That's good." Li Xiu turned around, ready to leave.
"Stop there, don't turn back." A-Fei's voice suddenly sounded behind him, sowhat fierce, but within that fierceness, there seed to be sothing else.
"What's up?" Li Xiu stood still, didn't turn back.
A-Fei didn't speak, Li Xiu just felt her coming over, then leaning against his back, her cheek resting on his shoulder, still didn't say anything.
After a long silence, A-Fei suddenly released Li Xiu and said coldly, "Go, don't turn back."
Li Xiu didn't turn back, step by step left until disappearing at the end of the long street, A-Fei said nothing, but tears had already filled her face.
