"I saw with my own eyes that your dream came true, Sister Ning. I thought I had to tell you this good news. Even if it's just for this one piece of good news, you won't ignore me anymore, so I came to find you."

Staring into Yu Ningning's eyes, Shen Longcheng explained, word by word, "This is why I left."

Looking into Shen Longcheng's sincere and earnest eyes, Yu Ningning awkwardly looked away, but on the surface she just said in a serious tone, "Long Qiyue, you're mistaken, I didn't mean to ignore you."

Shen Longcheng said firmly, "You have it."

Yu Ningning said, "I didn't."

Like a sulking child, Shen Longcheng looked into Yu Ningning's eyes and corrected her word by word: "Sister Ning, I already know that the game of 'whoever speaks first loses' can't be played like this, and it can't last for eight years."

"Sister Ning, you're just ignoring me on purpose."

"Why?"

Yu Ningning showed no embarrassment at having her lie exposed. She picked up her coffee, took a sip, and changed the subject, saying, "Oh, right, I forgot to ask earlier. Judging from your experienced look, this shouldn't be the first world you've ever traveled to, right?"

Seeing that Yu Ningning was avoiding answering again, Shen Longcheng narrowed his eyes slightly and pursed his lips unhappily.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Shenlong City, a power unique to those in authority, Yu Ningning couldn't help but sigh.

Time really does refine people.

The innocent little boy who was once as naive as a puppy has now been thoroughly trained into a predator standing at the top of the global hierarchy, possessing his own unique aura of a superior.

but……

Feeling no sense of being suppressed, Yu Ningning turned her head, holding a cup of coffee, and smiled calmly at Chen Longcheng.

She was confident that no matter what happened in Shenlongcheng, she would always be the one in control in this relationship.

As expected, seeing the smile on Yu Ningning's face, Shen Longcheng pursed his lips and finally chose to back down: "I have experienced one hundred and thirty-seven small worlds."

"How many?"

She spat out a mouthful of coffee. Yu Ningning froze, staring blankly at Chen Longcheng. "Wait, you just said you've experienced so many small worlds?"

Shen Longcheng looked into Yu Ningning's eyes and calmly repeated, "One hundred and thirty-seven."

One hundred and thirty-seven!

Yu Ningning suddenly remembered what Su Daji had said when she explained the system to her. When she first wandered to this world, she had already experienced more than a dozen lifetimes. And in this vast world, there was a ruthless person who had torn apart more than a hundred small worlds just to find someone...

At the time, she was only amazed by the man's powerful mental strength. Now that she knows this man is likely Long Qiyue, all she feels is shock and incomprehension.

"Why?" She stared at Chenlong City in disbelief and blurted out, "Only when a person has a strong obsession can their soul wander in this vast world and not dissipate, waiting for an opportunity to enter the next small world to live another life."

"What obsessions and resentments do you harbor that you have been unable to resolve even after living for 137 lifetimes?"

Shen Longcheng didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Yu Ningning.

Sensing the silent answer in that calm gaze, Yu Ningning felt as if she had been struck on the head, and immediately froze on the spot.

"You did this for me?"
