Chapter 101 Besides hugging and kissing, have you two done anything else?

Ye Zhi Qiu thought to himself, this is a parallel universe that is exactly the same as his original world. No matter what he does, it will not affect his world. So what if Xiao Qi Di collapses?

But these thoughts only popped up because of a moment of anger.

My daughter has already fallen for that guy. If I really do that, how heartbroken will she be?

"well……"

Ye Zhi Qiu sighed silently.

Forget it, let's spare that kid's life for now, and think of another way later.

I can't let my daughter be with him.

"Are you made of wood?" Ning Jinli stared at Xiao Qidi, who was already in a daze. "When I said I liked you too, you didn't react at all?"

Xiao Qidi snapped out of his daze and lowered his head to hug Ning Jinli tightly.

At that moment, Ning Jinli unconsciously shed tears of happiness and hugged him tightly.

Xiao Qidi closed his eyes and hugged himself tighter and tighter.

"I can't breathe..." Ning Jinli whispered.

Xiao Qidi's face was filled with a mixture of happiness and pain. Finally, he gritted his teeth and let go of his hands. "From now on, let's not see each other again."

This sentence seemed to have drained all his energy.

He instantly collapsed, his hands hanging limply at his sides, and he didn't dare look at Ning Jinli.

"What did you say?" Ning Jinli could hardly believe her ears.

This guy clearly likes her, and she even confessed her feelings to him, so how could this happen?

Ye Zhi Qiu, who was hiding in the distance, immediately breathed a sigh of relief in the letter.

Okay, not bad, not bad.

It seems that Xiao Qidi is still able to grasp the situation.

The ideological work I did with him had an effect.

As long as he stops contacting Xiaoli, I can slowly guide her out of her situation later.

"Xiao Qidi!" Ning Jinli clenched her fists, her eyes filled with pain and anger. "You, the ruler of a nation, don't you even have the courage to be with me? Just because my mother said those things to you, you—"

“No, it’s not because of those things,” Xiao Qidi interrupted her questioning.

"Why is that?!"

"because……"

Xiao Qidi raised his right hand and gently stroked Ning Jinli's cheek. "Because I have my own destiny, just like I told you before, my future already exists in history."

"It can be changed!" Ning Jinli shouted anxiously, "Actually, that—"

“Listen to me,” Xiao Qidi said softly, “I have been very happy during this period. It has been the happiest time of my past eighteen years, and it will definitely be the happiest memory of my life.”

Ning Jinli burst into tears instantly.

Xiao Qidi wiped away her tears and continued, "I've thought about this many times these past few days. If... it really is as you say, and a miracle happens and changes my fate, then the whole world will also undergo tremendous changes. This probably means that perhaps at the moment my fate changes, you will disappear from this world."

These words coincide with Ye Zhiqi's theory that air power can erase historical paradoxes.

However, Ye Zhi Qiu did not discuss these matters with Xiao Qi Di.

Ning Jinli was stunned for a moment, "Even in the modern world, many people who have gone to school and studied would not understand these things. Yet you figured it out on your own? You're a genius..."

Xiao Qidi gazed tenderly into Ning Jinli's eyes, "It's already a miracle that God brought you to my side. I can't be greedy and ask for more miracles, and I can't let you sacrifice yourself for my sake."

Ning Jinli bit her lip. "So, you decided to accept your fate to protect me? Are you really willing to have your hands and feet cut off, your ears and nose cut off, your eyes gouged out, and become a human stump? Are you really willing to be imprisoned and exploited after being treated like that? Are you really willing to have everything you created for the benefit of others?"

“I’m not reconciled,” Xiao Qidi said softly, “but as long as you can live well, I can accept anything.”

Ning Jinli burst into tears, "You idiot, you big idiot!"

"Don't cry," Xiao Qidi said with a calm smile, forcing back his own pain. "Anyway, I'm already dead in your past, aren't I? Think positively, swollen eyes from crying aren't pretty."

Ning Jinli wiped away her tears forcefully, laughing and crying at the same time, and said, "You silly boy, listen carefully, you don't have to worry about me dying. I'm going to tell you what a parallel universe is now."

"Hmm?" Xiao Qidi's eyes showed surprise.

Ning Jinli sniffled and gave him a proper explanation.

Xiao Qidi was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

This extremely advanced concept opened the door to a new world for him.

But thanks to his exceptional comprehension skills, he roughly understood it.

"So, you and I are in two completely identical yet independent worlds?" Xiao Qidi asked.

Ning Jinli nodded, "That's one way to understand it."

To help Xiao Qidi understand the concept more intuitively, Ning Jinli tore two threads of the same length from her clothes and held them in front of Xiao Qidi.

"Two lines, the left one represents your universe, the right one represents my universe, and from top to bottom they represent from the past to the future, or from ancient times to the present."

"You are at the top of the left line, and I am at the bottom of the right line."

"Although you and I are in ancient times and modern times respectively, we are not on the same timeline."

“So, I, who came from the right side of the line, ran to the left side of the line. No matter how much I struggled,” Ning Jinli said, starting to shake the thin thread in her left hand, “you see, the line representing your world has changed, but the line in my right hand hasn’t changed at all.”

Xiao Qidi's eyes lit up. "I see, I understand!"

Ning Jinli dropped the string in her hand and stared intently into his eyes. "So, tell me, do you still want to break off our relationship now?"

Xiao Qidi pulled her into his arms, buried his nose in her hair, and said without hesitation, "I like you, and I want to be with you."

"Cough cough!" A cough suddenly rang out.

Ning Jinli and Xiao Qidi turned their heads and saw Ye Zhi Qiu walking towards them.

A thin layer of clouds obscured the moonlight, making the night hazy and obscuring Ye Zhi Qiu's expression.

"Oh no, my mom is catching up!" Ning Jinli grabbed Xiao Qidi's hand. "Run! I'll find another chance to persuade my mom later."

Xiao Qidi did not move his feet. He held Ning Jinli's hand tightly and said softly, "Running away would be too disrespectful to an elder."

Ning Jinli said anxiously, "What time is it? Who cares about being impolite? She's definitely here to break us up! Let's go! I'll apologize to my mom properly later."

Xiao Qidi shook his head. "No."

"Hey you... fine, then you go first!" Ning Jinli urged anxiously, "Don't let my mom's gentle nature fool you, she can be terrifying when she gets angry. She even carries a shotgun with her at all times! This isn't modern times, I'm really afraid she'll shoot you! I'll hold her off for you."

A smile appeared on Xiao Qidi's lips. He not only held Ning Jinli's hand firmly, but also took a firm step forward with his head held high in the direction Ye Zhi Qiu was coming from.

As Ye Zhi Qiu drew closer, Xiao Qi Di still refused to leave. Ning Jin Li immediately stepped in front of Xiao Qi Di and shouted, "Mom! Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence!"

"If you're protecting him like this now, what will happen in the future?" Ye Zhi Qiu's voice was cold.

Ning Jinli was extremely nervous. "Mom... calm down. It's so late. Why don't you go back and rest? I'll sit down and have a proper talk with you tomorrow."

Xiao Qidi took two steps forward and shielded Ning Jinli behind him. "Sect Leader Ye, you can vent your anger on me, I will have no complaints, but no matter what you do, I will not separate from Miss Ning."

Clatter—

The sound of a bullet being chambered rang out.

Ning Jinli was so frightened that her face changed drastically. She tried to use her body to block Xiao Qidi, but Xiao Qidi held her down.

"Hahahaha!" Ye Zhi Qiu suddenly laughed. "Ah, it's so good to be young."

Ning Jinli and Xiao Qidi were both a little confused.

"Mom, you...you're not too angry, are you?" Ning Jinli asked cautiously.

At this moment, the clouds that had been obscuring the moon gradually drifted away.

The moonlight shone down.

Ye Zhi Qiu had a sly smile on his face.

He didn't seem angry.

Ye Zhi Qiu stopped in front of the two men, then looked at Xiao Qi Di. "Kid, if you were to leave my daughter just because of what I said to you, I would think you didn't love her that much. But I overheard your conversation just now, and I realize how much you care about her, how willing you are to accept a fate worse than death to protect her. For that alone, you deserve my daughter."

Hearing Ye Zhi Qiu say this, Ning Jin Li exclaimed happily, "Mom! You're not going to stop us from being together?"

Ye Zhi Qiu said calmly, "I will reserve my opinion on this matter for now. After all, it is up to you to walk your own path in life."

Ning Jinli was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mom!"

Then she tugged at Xiao Qidi's sleeve.

Xiao Qidi clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Ye."

Ye Zhi Qiu raised his hand and pressed the shotgun against his forehead, his tone becoming extremely serious, "Whether I can grant your request depends on your performance. You must agree to my conditions."

Xiao Qidi remained expressionless. "Sect Leader Ye, please speak."

Ye Zhi Qiu said, "You must promise that you will never let my daughter down in this life. Even if you are a king, even if you unify the Central Plains and establish the Xuan Dynasty to become the Xuanzu Emperor, if you marry her, you cannot take any concubines."

"Heaven bears witness," Xiao Qidi's voice was firm and powerful, "I, Xiao Qidi, will never betray Miss Ning in this life, and I will protect her for the rest of my life. Moreover, I will not marry anyone but Miss Ning. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and die without a burial place!"

Ye Zhi Qiu said coldly, "Fine, if you ever do anything to upset my daughter, even if Heaven doesn't punish you, I will personally take action."

Xiao Qidi agreed, "Yes, I will keep it in mind."

Ye Zhi Qiu then removed the gun barrel from his forehead and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

Bang!

Fireworks burst forth, and the bright red marbles streaked across the night sky like shooting stars.

After firing that shot, Ye Zhi Qiu turned around and said without looking back, "You two can do whatever you want. I'm going back to rest."

Ning Jinli chuckled and stepped forward to take Ye Zhi Qiu's arm.

Ye Zhi Qiu teased, "Weren't you just about to run away with someone?"

"Oh, my dear mother," Ning Jinli said, leaning her head on Ye Zhiqiu's shoulder and acting coquettishly, "We had to run away just now, but we don't need to now."

Ye Zhi Qiu laughed, "Then tonight, my daughter and I will sleep together."

Ning Jinli beamed, "Okay, Mom! Hehe!"

"I said," Ye Zhi Qiu asked, "that kid hugged you and kissed you?"

"Ah, this..." Ning Jinli was embarrassed.

Ye Zhi Qiu then asked, "Besides hugging and kissing, have you two done anything else?"

Ning Jinli quickly shook her head, "No more, no more!"

Ye Zhi Qiu said, "That's good. Your mom isn't planning on becoming a grandmother yet. Of course, I don't object to premarital sex, after all, a man's sexual ability is quite important in dating and marriage. But before you decide whether you want children, you must take precautions for me. Luckily you can go back to the modern world, where there's no shortage of safe contraception..."

"Stop, stop! Mom, can you... not say these things now..." Ning Jinli's cheeks immediately burned, and she quickly stopped her, frantically giving Ye Zhi Qiu meaningful glances.

Ye Zhi Qiu glanced back and said, "Oh, I almost forgot you were still here."

Xiao Qidi, who was silently following behind with his horse in tow, almost stumbled.

——

Ning Jinli and Xiao Qidi stayed overnight at Yuqi Mountain.

The next morning, Ning Jinli led Xiao Qidi back to the factory through the time-space portal of the sect leader's training room.

Ning Jinli packed a large amount of modern supplies.

From clothes and shoes to daily necessities, as well as some food and drinks, everything was sent to Ye Zhi Qiu.

Although Ye Zhi Qiu has used his knowledge to do a lot of things related to daily life to improve his life over the past ten years, he is still limited by conditions and cannot compare with ready-made modern products.

In addition to these, Ning Jinli also brought her diesel fuel, a generator, and batteries, as well as a computer, television, game console, and mobile phone. Although they couldn't connect to the internet, the games and various TV series and movies downloaded on them were enough to increase her entertainment.

Ye Zhi Qiu was so excited that she almost cried, just like a child.

As a modern person, she really misses these things.

She can make everyday items to improve people's lives, and even low-end homemade guns, but making electronic products is just a pipe dream.

I never imagined that ten years later, although I could not return to the modern world there, I would be able to use these things.

You can imagine what they were feeling.

Moreover, these new electronic products are far more advanced than those from ten years ago, and Ye Zhi Qiu needs Ning Jin Li to teach him how to use them smoothly.

By the time I finished, the morning had passed.

"Mom, Xiao Qidi and I are leaving now!" Ning Jinli said, standing at the door. "I'll continue to send you things later, and then we'll modernize your place so you can live comfortably."

Ye Zhi Qiu was already engrossed in watching a movie on her laptop, snacking as she did so, her eyes glued to the screen. "Alright, alright, you guys go ahead, I won't see you off."

Ning Jinli suppressed a laugh, took Xiao Qidi's hand, and left.

After returning to the factory warehouse, she adjusted the time-space passage and moved the other end of the entrance to the Fairy Cave in Linxian Village.

This way, the two can reach their destination instantly without having to travel on horseback from Yuqi Mountain to Xitun Pass.

Now it's time to take Xiao Qidi back there.

The two stepped into the fluorescent vortex, and the next second, they arrived at the Fairy Cave.

"Huh? Why are there no guards?" Xiao Qidi looked around but couldn't see a single person.

Immediately afterwards, both he and Ning Jinli heard a fierce argument outside the cave.

"How dare you barge into the Fairy Temple!"

"How dare you! You, a mere general of Xitun Pass, dare to obstruct me! Guards! Cut off his head!"
