"Have you ever considered having our blazing sun help you become a god?"

Lost in the silence of this sudden, surprising, and worrying turn of events, Wang Ji suddenly heard Lena say something in her clean and fragrant room.

Her voice was low, and her bright, expressive eyes looked at Wang Ji with obvious confusion and disappointment.

Wang Ji paused for a moment, then looked up in thought. Seeing Lena's confused yet stubborn eyes, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Just as I thought." Upon seeing this, Lena sighed.

“I should have known…” she said, lowering her head weakly. “I should have known.”

"I……"

“I should have known from the moment you promoted Qilin to the second generation,” Lena interrupted Wang Ji, shaking her head. “I should have known from the moment you repeatedly deviated from my words that you never expected anything from my…gift.”

She lowered her head, a strange sense of melancholy suddenly appearing in her eyes.

“Lena…” Wang Ji hesitated for a moment, then took her hand, wanting to explain.

Seeing that things were going badly, the little yellow chick, not wanting to eat the dog food, quickly and quietly slipped away through the wormhole.

"Is it because of Xuan Tianji, or..." Lena looked up, her eyes filled with anxious inquiry, "or is it because of Qi Lin?"

Her mood suddenly seemed off, and Wang Ji could roughly understand why she was acting this way.

He suddenly remembered something Lena had mentioned before, that she promised to be on equal footing with Qilin, and that he could take over the administration of Lieyang on her behalf.

“It’s not as complicated as you think,” Wang Ji shook his head. “You probably know me. In fact, you also understand that as long as it’s something I can do myself, I won’t ask for help from outside.”

"You can do it?" Lena was both surprised and bewildered, but couldn't help asking, "How could you possibly do it... Is it your own ability, or... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

In a moment of bad mood, she forgot the tacit understanding between them: he wouldn't ask too much about Lieyang, and she wouldn't ask too much about his secrets.

"Actually, it's nothing." Holding Lena's delicate and slender fingers, Wang Ji shook his head slightly: "Sometimes I will keep things from you, perhaps because of habitual secrecy, or perhaps because my abilities are not yet sufficient, and I have no choice but to do so."

Actually, you're right. I do dislike things like Xuan Tianji's, and it's for Qi Lin's sake, and there are other reasons why it's necessary. But ultimately, I believe I can do it.

"You feel satisfied and proud because you believe you can help me become a god someday, and there's nothing wrong with that. I think it's fine this way." He said softly, "If I didn't think I could do it, I wouldn't shy away from your help. I don't need to prove anything..."

But since I believe I can do it, perhaps I was arrogantly confident even before we were together. If you were in my shoes, you'd probably understand. It's not that I'm being stubborn or arrogant.

Lena's gaze gradually calmed as she quietly looked at Wang Ji.

"If I also had a back I could rely on for everything, I believe I would also like that feeling of having someone to lean on. I also waited for the Super God Academy to support my advancement."

But later I went to country A, and used one month's time as if it were two months, and solved the problem myself.

Lena's hand tightened slightly; in that instant, she almost connected everything together.

“I can’t really explain the specifics to you. Some things might seem laughable now.” Wang Ji thought for a moment and continued, “Actually, from the very beginning, I felt that I had the power to conquer the earth… so I didn’t really expect a sincere love. I met Qi Lin and was moved, but I left without feeling too disappointed because of her decisive rejection.”

At that time, I was all alone, free to leave and go anywhere without any burden.

I don't really believe I'll ever have a deeply memorable romance, nor do I think I'll ever fall profoundly in love with someone.

I can treat everyone with kindness, but none of them can penetrate my heart.

It wasn't until later that I realized falling in love with someone is actually very easy.

Wang Ji couldn't help but recall some memories, and a touch of tenderness appeared between his brows.

Lena listened and sighed softly, "It's Qilin, isn't it..."

Wang Ji did not refute this; it was never a secret among them.

"Actually, it was the same at the beginning. Even though I officially pursued her, I didn't change my original opinion..."

Moreover, even though I entered the Super God Academy at that time, I still maintained my original confidence. I still felt that I could conquer this world. To put it bluntly, I felt that I could be a king anytime I wanted.

He smiled a little embarrassedly at this point, but didn't seem to think anything was wrong.

"So I'm not angry that you laugh at me for wanting to be emperor at such a young age... It's just that, initially, I didn't have any unwavering belief in Qilin, and she herself was aware of that."

She had even prepared herself from the very beginning for the possibility of facing a harem of concubines, and even the possibility that I might grow tired of her and neglect her in the future.

She did choose to be with me, perhaps because of this chaotic world, perhaps because I was her savior, or perhaps because I am truly outstanding. I think she genuinely likes me.

But I am not as quick to give my heart away as she is.
