Chapter 714 As Long as I Am Alive
Under the moonlight, the two stood side by side, walking on the streets of this small town full of tranquility and peace.
Xia Grace's expression had returned to normal, and she didn't say a word to Xia Yue beside her.
And Xia Yue did not expect her mother to show that kind of tenderness to her.
After the conversation.
Li Muhan's adoptive parents originally wanted to let Xia Grace stay overnight.
But Xia Grace said that her archaeological team would leave the town tonight, and when she stood up to say goodbye, she asked Xia Yue to go out and see her off.
So the current scene happened.
"Just send it here." Xia Grace stopped under the street light at the intersection.
"Thank you...Mother."
Xia Grace clasped her arms across her chest, her back facing Xia Yue. The chirping of insects and birds all around made the night feel less lonely.
"Shalia."
"...Yes, Mother."
"You're not the same as before." The woman still kept her back to Xia Yue, and then said softly: "I won't say too many sweet words to you. You know, we are not suitable for each other."
"I understand, Mother."
"But I am still your mother, so..."
"So, rely on your mother more..." The woman turned around and hugged the girl in her arms.
Xia Yue finally couldn't bear it anymore. She hugged the woman tightly and then sobbed softly.
"Sometimes I really wish you could learn from your sister, say what you want, and do whatever you want... That way you would suffer less..."
The woman's hand gently stroked Xia Yue's hair.
"Well... Mom... I've always missed you... During these years away from home, I missed you so much, I missed Xia Luer so much, I really missed you two so much..."
"Go visit your sister more often when you have time. You know her temper. I've spoiled her, but Xia Luer actually listens to you as her sister. Go find her and make peace with her when you have time, okay?"
"Hmm...Hmm! Mom..."
"So you can act like a spoiled child, you're such a silly child...Okay, I have to go now."
"..." Xia Yue slowly left the woman's arms, and then looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Thank you...Mom."
Xia Grace smiled helplessly.
“No need to say thank you among family members.”
A breeze blew across the girl's face, and then only the girl's figure was left under the street light.
She carefully held the ruby in her chest, feeling its warmth and the warmth of her mother.
Li Muhan, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
She placed her most precious possession in my hands.
She's not good at expressing her feelings, but...
Xia Grace is a good mother.
......
The next day, Aunt Jiang really took Li Muhan to meet the neighbors, and also brought Xia Yue with her.
When the old neighbors saw that Li Muhan had such a beautiful girlfriend, they were surprised and praised him highly.
After being paraded through the streets, Xia Yue received a lot of praise and gifts.
At around 4 p.m., the two packed up their things and set off on their journey back to Tianhai City.
"Xiaoyue, take care of yourself. You're too thin. You must eat more. Got it?"
Mother Jiang held Xia Yue's hand reluctantly.
"Well, thank you, Auntie."
Xia Yue smiled and nodded.
Uncle Gu patted Li Muhan's shoulder.
"Don't send money back every month. Your mother and I can't use it all. Keep it and buy a few more clothes for you and Xiaoyue."
"She has a lot of clothes, Dad. I don't buy things very often. Who else can I give the money to if not you and Mom?"
"Ah, you're really lucky to have found such a good job before you even graduate. You must cherish it, Mu Han. You must get a college diploma, okay?"
With the old couple's reluctant farewell, the two left home and went to the train station.
After all, the Special Management Bureau now has regulations that prohibit privately boarding civil aviation aircraft unless there are special circumstances.
After a day of bumpy ride, the two finally returned to Tianhai City.
"How is it going? Is it going well?" Lin Ze asked the two of them while sorting out documents in the office.
"Well, my parents and Xia Yue's mother have agreed."
"Xia Grace also agreed?" Lin Ze was a little surprised, but still said to the two with a smile: "Anyway, congratulations, when are you planning to hold the wedding?"
"As soon as possible." Li Muhan said with a smile.
"Although the Special Management Bureau is a public institution and lavish celebrations are strictly prohibited, rest assured, I will still try my best to hold a grand ceremony for you. Do you want a Chinese or Western style?"
Lin Ze asked with a smile.
"Xia Yue and I have agreed on a Chinese-style wedding dress. Too many people have worn it, and she wants to try our Chinese phoenix crown and bridal bridal gown."
"Tasteful." Lin Ze pinched Xia Yue's cheek.
After chatting with Lin Ze for a few more words, Li Muhan and Xia Yue left the office.
They still have some things to prepare. After all, it is a wedding, and they also have to consider who to invite.
"When are you going to go and make peace with your sister?"
"No rush, huh?? How did you know?"
"Ah? I...hahahaha..."
"You eavesdropped on me and my mother!"
Li Muhan and Xia Yue started chasing and fighting in the corridor of the Special Management Bureau. Cen Lin walked past them carefully with documents in his arms.
"Be careful, young man. You seem to be so overwhelmed by happiness."
Then Cen Lin walked into Lin Ze's office with documents in his arms.
"Director Lin." The expression on his face gradually became serious.
"Close the door." Lin Ze said lightly.
"According to the information from Venerable Azure Dragon, and with the assistance of the World United Special Management Bureau, we have roughly determined the area where the suspected rift appeared."
Cen Lin placed the documents on the table.
"In China alone, eighteen cracks have appeared in the past month. Although these cracks have not yet shown any reaction, but..."
"Yulong can't even find the tree's true location?"
Lin Ze asked as he looked at the information.
Cen Lin shook his head.
"Venerable Yulong said that even if Li Chengtian's brain was blown up, the truth might not be revealed. Moriarty and the Heart of the World are not completely defenseless."
Lin Ze sighed and sat back in his seat.
She slowly rubbed the bridge of her nose to relieve the fatigue.
"The General Administration is also taking action, but right now, Yue Qing is the only one in charge and it's difficult for him to control the overall situation. Chang Yue has already received an emergency transfer order and is heading to Pingjing City."
"Is the problem so serious, Director Lin?"
Cen Lin frowned.
"We all underestimated Moriarty. At first, we all thought he was an alien born from the story. But we all overlooked that the only thing that can give birth to the characters in the story is the world itself. It is the world that created this world, created the gods, and created everything. Of course, it can do all this..."
"Director Lin, do we really want to go to war with this world? But we live in this world, we live on this land, why should we... fight it?"
Cen Lin expressed his confusion.
"I don't know." Lin Ze sighed.
"The gaze of the Trinity Rule has disappeared. The last time I saw those eyes, all their attention was on Li Muhan."
"I think that's the final revelation that the Trinity Principle gives us."
.......
On the corridor.
Li Muhan was going to the archives department alone with the information.
It's time to update his profile again.
It's even faster than the game version update. It's because the power in his body has been greatly improved.
But what puzzled him was that after returning those souls to Baal.
Barr showed no signs of excitement.
Instead, he sat on the chair, staring at Li Muhan, and then asked a very strange question: "Li Muhan, let me ask you, is it a good thing that your power is getting stronger and stronger?"
Li Muhan didn't know how to answer, so Bal waved his hand.
Without waiting for Li Muhan to speak, he drove him out of his temple.
"Hi."
A voice called Li Muhan from behind.
Li Muhan stopped and looked back, and saw Leia, who was wearing a Western-style miniskirt, standing behind him.
"Long time no see."
"Leya? Where have you been all this time? The enforcement team has been looking for you every day!"
Rhea 035 disappeared a month ago.
At the same time that Li Muhan went to the underworld, she forged documents and went to the East German Special Management Bureau, and then there was no news of her.
"Well... did you miss me then?"
Leia gently raised the crutch in her hand and tapped Li Muhan's chest.
Li Muhan quickly took a step back, scratching his head with a smile: "Stop it, seriously, where have you been? Why are you dressed so beautifully?"
Leia covered her mouth and chuckled, then said: "I am a girl too, I also need to go out for a walk, um... where have I been? I have been to many places. If you want to hear, I can tell you about it. It will take a long time~"
"You're quite cool, but I'm busy right now. I still have to deliver some materials. I'll come to have tea with you some other day."
Li Muhan patted Leia's shoulder and was about to pass by her.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Leia's face, and then she slowly raised her hand and used her cane to stop Li Muhan.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li Muhan, I heard that you are engaged, right?"
"Oh, you're well-informed. Remember to come to the wedding."
"Then...I'll give you an engagement gift."
"Are you so polite?" Li Muhan looked at Leia with a smile, and then Leia suddenly raised her hand and gently held Li Muhan's cheek.
"Look into my eyes, Li Muhan."
“......?”
Li Muhan was still a little confused, but the moment he looked into Leia's eyes, his whole brain felt dizzy as if it had been electrocuted.
But this feeling only lasted for a few seconds.
Then Leia slowly let go of her hand.
"Happy wedding, Li Muhan."
Then she slowly turned around, humming a little tune and disappeared down the other side of the corridor.
"...Huh? Where's the gift? Hey! Where's the gift?!"
Li Muhan scratched his head, feeling a little puzzled...
......
the next day.
Rhea 035 disappeared again.
This time, she never appeared in anyone's sight again.
Half a year later——
Li Muhan slowly got up from the bed.
His eyes looked a little tired. After gently kissing Xia Yue who was sleeping beside him, he stood up.
Walking into the dilapidated room.
He picked up the Special Management Bureau combat jacket from the hanger.
Next to the coat, there were several photo frames.
Huo Tian, Lin Ziyu, Su Xue, Yin Qi.
"...Captain of the Seventh Squad, Li Muhan, is leaving. As long as I'm still alive..."
He pushed open the broken door, and outside was a sky full of yellow sand.
The endlessly spreading roots of the giant tree have destroyed all the cities.
Li Muhan put on windproof goggles and then closed the door.
"As long as I am alive, Team 7 will not disappear..."
