"How will you compensate me?"
Song Xi narrowed his eyes, pretending not to understand.
"At once……"
Wu Lai gestured to Song Xiwei, "Got it?"
"Why do you suddenly have such thoughts about me?" Song Xiwei was very surprised, since the two of them had been so hostile towards each other since their last meeting.
"Perhaps conquering someone like you... would be more interesting?" Wu Lai pondered for a moment before replying.
"So? Would you like to consider spending time with me..."
"Do you like me?" Song Xiwei replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.
Wu Lai suddenly coughed, as if someone had asked him a funny question, "How could I possibly like you?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't force myself to work with people I don't like. You should continue activating the magic array and not waste any more time," Song Xiwei said firmly.
The more Song Xiwei acted this way, the more itchy Wu Lai became. "Hey, you, okay, I might like you. Do you want to be with me..."
“No.” This time, Song Xiwei refused without hesitation.
Wu Lai stared wide-eyed, looking puzzled. "I already said I liked you, so why are you rejecting me?"
"You like me, but I don't like you, so why should I wrong myself? I've said it before, I don't want to settle." Song Xiwei's tone was uncompromising.
Wu Lai became more determined despite the setbacks, saying, "Then I'll settle for second best. At worst, I won't go all the way. Just let me have a kiss..."
"Pfft!" Song Xi smiled. "You're so funny."
"Really? No one has ever commented on me like that before..." Wu Lai scratched his ear, as if he was a little uncomfortable.
"Can't you tell the difference? What I mean is, you want me to kiss you? Don't be ridiculous. I'd rather kiss a pig. So don't even think about me. If you want to see the guy behind you, hurry up and see him before I lose my patience."
After saying this with an impatient look, Song Xiwei completely ignored Wu Lai.
Wu Lai was truly enraged this time. "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! You're courting death!"
Song Xiwei let Wulai rage on, too lazy to pay attention to him, the more she paid attention to him, the more excited she became.
The teleportation array has been reactivated.
Before long, we arrived at our destination.
Song Xiwei was asked to blindfold herself, and she was too lazy to argue with Wu Lai, so she obediently covered her eyes.
Upon arriving at the designated location, the blindfold was removed, and then Wu Lai was heard respectfully bowing to the person behind the curtain, saying, "Your Majesty, I have brought the reincarnation of Song Xiwei."
The person behind the curtain lifted it, glanced at him, and was utterly disappointed. "Are you sure he's the one I'm looking for? Ten thousand years ago, Song Xiwei was clearly a woman. How could he have been reincarnated as a man..."
"My lord, you are unaware that she was disguised as a man and used a trick to deceive you, which is why you did not recognize her," Wu Lai explained somewhat reluctantly to the man.
It's such a pity to have seen someone as amazing as Song Xiwei and then just give her away like this.
"Is that so?" The man approached, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Song Xiwei, scrutinizing her. "It does seem that way."
Song Xiwei then realized that the person was an elderly man who did not possess any complex aura, nor could she sense any fluctuations in power.
Judging from the respectful manner Wu Lai showed him, this person must not be an ordinary person.
When Song Xiwei looked at this person, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and a sharp pain, as if pierced by something, was spreading in her heart.
"You may leave," the old man suddenly ordered Wu Lai.
Wu Lai's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Song Xiwei with some sympathy, as if to say with his eyes, "You're about to die. I told you not to consider my suggestion earlier, but now I can't help you."
Song Xiwei did not react to this.
After Wulai left and the door was closed, Song Xiwei was suddenly pulled by the old man's hand and led behind the curtain.
