"Hey, don't get agitated."

Song Xiwei hurriedly asked, "Then what did you say to Si Ming? If you had made an agreement, were you going to hand me over to him and have me go to the Heavenly Court to offer the deity to the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Venerable?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lai's face darkened, and he said, "Since you know, then tell me, what are you thinking?"

Song Xiwei looked indifferent. "I didn't think about it much."

"You know about my agreement with Si Ming, and you know what your fate will be if you enter the Heavenly Court. Don't you want to resist, or do something?" Wu Lai asked her in surprise.

Song Xiwei simply asked, "I am currently under divine punishment; how can I be separated from you?"

Wu Lai was taken aback by the question, then slowly said, "The reason why the Heavenly Court hasn't urged you yet is because your condition is not stable, and they are still waiting."

"I was so delusional before, thinking that once you dealt with my divine punishment, I could go back to my beloved. But it turns out that no matter how good or bad my divine punishment is, I can't go back!" Song Xi sighed softly. "Were you looking at me like I was an idiot before?"

"I didn't." Wu Lai truly didn't. If it weren't for Si Ming's arrival, he would have already forgotten about his agreement with Si Ming. Moreover, every day he spent with Song Xiwei was precious, so he had no time to think about so many trivial matters.

However, now that the God of Fate has appeared, many problems have become unavoidable.

"In your opinion, how long will it take for me to stabilize in my current state, and how much longer will I be taken away by the Heavenly Court?" Song Xiwei asked.

Wu Lai felt a pang of unease and remained silent.

Song Xiwei then rephrased her question, "Is there any way to break the agreement between you and Si Ming?"

Wu Lai remained silent.

Song Xiwei said, "It seems you can't break the contract. Since that's the case, I won't force you. It's alright. Going to the Heavenly Court is not bad. I've never been to the Heavenly Court in this life. I've heard that the scenery there is very beautiful. I've wanted to go and see it for a long time."

"You!" Wu Lai glared at Song Xiwei: "What kind of time is this to still be in the mood for that?"

"You can't break the contract, and I can't put you in a difficult position. So, just think of it as a trip to Heaven. It's nothing. I'm deeply grateful for your kindness in taking me in and helping me these past few days. I won't forget your help when I get to Heaven."

Song Xiwei's words left Wu Lai speechless.

"Even if I break the contract, the Heavenly Court has plenty of ways to force you to comply. They've waited ten thousand years for that moment, and have already laid a trap for you. Do you really think you'll have time to wander around and play around once you're in the Heavenly Court? I'm afraid you'll only..."

Wu could no longer continue, he didn't even know what he was angry about. "Anyway, your good days are over. When the divine punishment stabilizes, your new days of suffering will begin."

“Suffering may come, but who says it will be my suffering?” Song Xiwei reached out and patted Wu Lai’s shoulder. Wu Lai looked very sad and depressed.

"Don't worry, I am an avatar of the God Lord, possessing the God Lord's divine status. Ten thousand years ago, I submitted because I couldn't bear to implicate those around me. But this time, I don't intend to obediently accept my fate. Those who try to take advantage of me will have to see if I'm willing. Once the divine punishment stabilizes, what do you think I'll have to fear?"

Song Xiwei's words startled Wulai from his dream.

He stared blankly at Song Xiwei, "You mean...?"

“That’s right, let’s play along. If they really have designs on me, then let them change the ruler of Heaven. I’ve never been one to like powerful people occupying high positions, but sometimes power seems like a good thing. If standing in a high position can make others wary and stop them from doing evil to me and the people I care about, then why can’t I take that position that others have?”

Under Wu Lai's surprised gaze, Song Xiwei curled her lips into a smile, "If the other party forcibly seizes something without distinguishing right from wrong, why can't I take their place?"
