Chapter 426 Li Hui's Side Story: Red Phoenix Star

As always, when he arrived at the fourth hour, he looked up and saw Shi Xi already sitting in the main seat, waiting for his arrival. With a smile on his lips, he walked over, faced Shi Xi, and extended his hand.

Li Hui: "Shi Xi, let's begin."

Seeing Li Hui reach out to the air, Shi Xi shook her head helplessly.

Shi Xi: "I'm over here. You should put your glasses on first, so you can see the divination results clearly."

Upon hearing this, Li Hui smiled, spread his palm, and glasses appeared. After putting them on, his vision became much clearer.

Li Hui: "Let's begin. Let's see together which will determine the future more: your foresight or my divination."

Shi Xi: "None of us can be certain about the future, Li Hui. Do you really want to see?"

Li Hui: "We've both sensed the ripples of the future at the same time, so why not take a look together?"

The future is ever-changing, and no one can predict what changes will occur. Can they really predict and judge it? Shi Xi pursed her lips, raised her hand, and the threads of time in her hand were faintly visible.

Suddenly, a pink light appeared on Li Hui's forehead, and Xi was somewhat surprised to see this.

Shi Xi: "Li Hui, what's wrong with you...?"

Li Hui: "Hmm?"

This was the first time such a phenomenon had occurred. Shi Xi couldn't help but move closer, and a red star was actually shining on Li Hui's forehead!

Shi Xi's expression was indeed a bit strange. Li Hui raised his hand and touched his forehead, which was smooth and had nothing on it.

Li Hui: "Is there something on my face?"

Shi Xi: "No, but it might be soon."

After saying that, Shi Xi surprisingly showed a smile, and then she looked up at Li Hui.

Shi Xi: "Let's begin. Let me see what kind of future your divination can predict."

Without hesitation, Li Hui threw the gold coin in his hand onto the table. After spinning it for a moment, it stopped. Li Hui lowered his eyes, but was stunned for a moment when he saw the result. How could the result be like this?!

Looking up at Shi Xi, Li Hui pursed her lips, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Li Hui: "You figured it out a long time ago?"

Shi Xi: "No, I just saw it."

Li Hui: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Shi Xi: "This is your own business. Besides, this 'Red Phoenix Star' is so dazzling; it's better for you to see it for yourself."

Seeing Li Hui's furrowed brows, Shi Xi raised an eyebrow and teased.

Shi Xi: "You don't believe your own divination anymore?"

Li Hui: "No, I believe it."

Li Hui: "I'm just wondering, who exactly could be my destined love?"

After saying this, Li Hui left the Four Clocks and returned to his own Dark Universe City. Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Li Hui's thoughts drifted away. He was extremely curious about who Hong Luanxing really was.

Will someone with his personality ever find love...?

Li Hui shook his head. His divination had never failed before, and this time was no exception. It was just that the result caught him off guard. He stood up and prepared to go out for some fresh air.

This trip actually brought him some gains.

The scent of humans kept wafting in. Li Hui looked up and saw Wen Qian jump out of Thunder Pavilion. Despite being terrified and trembling all over, she resolutely jumped down. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she saw the same red star that was twinkling on Wen Qian's forehead as her own!

With a sudden impulse, he soared into the air, reached out, and embraced the girl's soft, frail body. Li Hui clearly felt the girl's body trembling. A moment later, he opened his eyes and met her gaze.

Wen Qian was very surprised to see that the person who came was Li Hui. After all, she was not familiar with Li Hui at all, so why would he be here?

The girl's body was soft and felt nice to the touch. Her small face was covered in cold sweat, probably from fright. Once she finally landed, Wenxi cautiously began to speak.

Wenxi: "Um, thank you for saving me. Now, can you put me down?"

Li Hui pursed his lips and didn't speak. Instead, he gently put Wen Qian down. Seeing Wen Qian breathe a sigh of relief, Li Hui also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he reached out in time, otherwise his love life would have been doomed today.

Li Hui: "Human, how did you end up here?"

Li Hui raised his finger and pointed to Lei Tingxuan above. Hearing this, Wen Qian subconsciously looked up following Li Hui's finger. After a moment, she looked away and lowered her eyes slightly, refusing to look at him.

Just when Li Hui thought Wen Qian wouldn't answer, Wen Qian did, but she lied.

His mood suddenly soured, but thinking about it, it made sense. If Wen Qian really didn't want to talk about it, then so be it. He couldn't force her. He just looked up at Lei Tingxuan.

Li Hui: "It's dangerous around here. Do you want to leave with me?"

Wenxi was shocked. Was Li Hui helping her?

After a moment's thought, Wenxi nodded.

Wenxi: "Okay."

Li Hui was satisfied with the answer and brought Wen Qian to Dark Universe City. After Wen Qian rested for a while, it was time to eat. The servant brought Wen Qian to the palace, and Li Hui handed her the tableware in a gentlemanly manner.

Li Hui: "I didn't know what you liked, so I just had the servants make a little bit of everything. Eat up!"

Wenxi nodded and obediently sat down to start eating.

After the meal, he took a walk with Wen Qian. After a while, he realized why Wen Qian was his lucky star. She was so sensible. Not bad. She was quite to his liking. Before Li Hui and Wen Qian could get to know each other, Yan Jue arrived.

Raising an eyebrow in surprise, how did Yan Jue end up having any connection with Wen Qian?

In the end, Wen Qian still left. Although he really wanted Wen Qian to stay, he had no reason to do so and could only watch her leave. After Yan Jue and Wen Qian left, the entire Dark Universe City became quiet.

Li Hui pursed his lips and silently looked at the spot where Wen Qian had just stood. Oh well, there's always another chance, no need to rush. After a moment, Li Hui looked away and went back to his room to rest. Seeing Wen Qian again made Li Hui feel a little happy.

But Li Hui never expected that this would be the last time they would meet.

He was clearly uninterested in other things, yet he couldn't control his body. Li Hui was furious and wanted to pull his hand back, but he couldn't. He was forced to stand on Mandora's side and watch helplessly as Wen Qian and her group arrived.

The moment Wen Qian was pierced through the heart, Li Hui finally regained control of his body. Looking at Wen Qian covered in blood, a dull ache gripped Li Hui's chest. How could this be? How could Wen Qian…

A lump formed in his throat, and tears welled up in his eyes. Li Hui was too shocked to even notice why he was crying. He frantically reached out, wanting to do something, but froze in place the moment he saw Wen Qian's body disappear.

His lucky star has vanished.

With unbearable pain in his chest, Li Hui was in a daze. He looked up at the sky but could only see darkness. He stared at Bu Yan's reflection on the table for a long time before forcing a smile.

He had always firmly believed in the results of his divination, but now he desperately hoped that he had been wrong; his lucky star was dim and had already begun to disappear.

His hand gripping the cane tightened unconsciously, Li Hui's thin lips were pressed together, and the atmosphere around him was incredibly tense. The servants stood not far away, trembling, but no one dared to say a word.

He couldn't believe it was like this; he must have miscalculated.

He had finally come to accept that Wen Qian was his lucky star, and he had begun to appreciate her, looking forward to how their relationship would develop. But now? Things had turned out this way so suddenly, and Li Hui naturally couldn't accept it!

From then on, Li Hui began to stay at home and never went to Lingxi Pavilion. He stayed in Anyu City day and night, but the result remained unchanged. He did not believe it, so he continued.

Until one day, the divination results changed, and Li Hui was stunned.

Although the Red Phoenix Star was not as dazzling as before, it had truly been restored. Li Hui excitedly stood up, swept his cane through the air, and the Spirit Gate appeared, bringing him to the human world. Li Hui recognized Yan Jue's back at a glance.

The adorable little girl nestled into Yan Jue's arms, her sweet, childlike voice reaching his ears, causing Li Hui's eyes to redden and his throat to choke with emotion.

Looking at the little girl's somewhat familiar features, Li Hui's heart calmed down. A tear rolled down his lips, and he tasted the saltiness of the tear on his tongue. Only then did Li Hui realize that he was crying.

But so what? It doesn't matter. What matters now is that his lucky star has finally returned to his side. This time, he will absolutely not allow anyone to control his body and do things against his will.

Li Hui: "This time, I'll protect you. I promise, no one will ever be able to hurt you again."

—What am I to you? I really want to know if I've ever been in your heart? Although you can't speak now, it's okay. I can wait, no matter how long it takes. Wenxi, I just want an answer from you, whatever it is, I'll gladly accept it.
