Chapter 334 Can we have an ordinary life together, growing old together?
"You know what? I used to wonder whether it's harder to recover favorability after it has fallen to the bottom, or it's harder to increase favorability to the extreme after it has reached the peak."
Fang Ke maintained a complex sneer, then covered his eyes and brows with his hand upon hearing this.
"So, have you come to a conclusion?"
"I originally thought it was the latter, but I was wrong again. It turns out that one person's favorability towards another person can really expand infinitely, without any limits."
Fang Ke remained silent, while Li sighed, "I can only tell you that in order to make Yes's favorability rating the same as those other people, I hid the data five times."
"As you saw, his heart started racing when he guessed it was you coming back. Later, when you went to Switzerland to find him, that was the day his emotions were at their peak... He kept it all under control until the moment he jumped off the plane with you in his arms. I saw his heart rate spike, and he couldn't hold back at all."
“You went to see him, which he didn’t expect. Despite all his struggles, entanglements, and anger before, his mind went blank the moment you appeared at the Swiss tavern.”
Fang Ke closed her eyes briefly, interrupting him, "It's one thing for you to keep observing from the shadows, but can you please stop imagining things like a romance novel?"
"...Haha, what's wrong?"
Fang Ke finished speaking, his eyes clear and firm.
"I know for myself how much Yes loves me."
Fang Ke pointed at him and continued, "Let's continue. Why did you go to all this trouble to package Ye Si as an ordinary NPC? In the beginning, you even misled me into thinking he was one of Su Yao's suitors."
"And, since it took so much effort, why did you adjust Yes's favorability rating to -950?"
Mr. Li smiled and said, "He requested it himself."
Fang Ke slowly uttered a question, "?"
Mr. Li said, "He was not satisfied with the plan I made, especially when he found out that I was going to have you raise the favorability of the other 'male leads'. He was upset for a long time."
"..."
"When a man is jealous, his IQ drops rapidly. He also wants you to make him a target, so he puts himself in the picture."
"..."
"However, the novel you read is indeed derived from the props used by Su Yao. You have no idea that she writes all sorts of things in her notebook... Fantasy Diary, and Ye Si is also written in it, so it makes sense."
Mr. Li briefly explained the function of Su Yao's "notebook" prop to her, leaving Fang Kehao speechless.
Fang Ke: "???"
"So, Su Yao is the author of the book 'Miss Su is Pampered Today Too'?"
"You could say that. It was just a photocopy I forged in a parallel world based on her notebook prop. I put in a lot of effort to make sure you could see it."
"…………"
"It's a link key. Although I went to great lengths to pass it on, we have no idea when you'll see it or whether you'll even see it. To be honest, a year and a half after Su Yao's situation was settled, if it weren't for Yes's power supporting me, my world would have almost collapsed."
"Fortunately, everything was destined, and you still came back... Now you can understand me, right? There are many things that I had to arrange in this way."
"Including those few idiots who were completely manipulated by Su Yao, looking across the entire world, only you can subdue these bewitched brats..."
Mr. Li added, "Moreover... almost all of them became lucky ones after they came into contact with you."
Fang Ke: "..."
"This is why Su Yao's favorability rating is negatively correlated with yours; she is actually stealing your luck in a roundabout way."
Fang Ke couldn't help but chuckle, "Am I that amazing?"
Mr. Li looked at her with kind eyes and said, "You are the successor of the Lord God that I have chosen."
Fang Ke wasn't buying it at all. "What the hell does this have to do with me? I've been working for you for free long enough. Don't be ungrateful. Do you really think I care so much about your position as the chief god? You're all like this. Aren't you all a bit too self-centered?"
Mr. Li chuckled, but also sighed a little. "I'm sorry, Coco. I promised to come pick you up in a month. But no one expected that in less than a month, this world would be targeted by invaders. They used some kind of time-space technology to seal off the entire world, making it impossible for me to move around..."
"To be honest, I held on until Su Yao had changed the lifelines of Yi Mohan, Fang Yefan, Xiao Yichen and others before I had no choice but to go to Ye Si and join forces with him."
"Although I promised you I wouldn't involve Yes, but... I can only blame the unpredictability of life. The situation has already changed, and Yes's identity in this world is indeed special."
"Letting him into the game is a brilliant move that could turn a desperate situation into a lifeline."
Fang Ke instinctively felt uncomfortable with his statement. "A good move? Mr. Li, you are a master strategist, and everyone is just a pawn in your hands, isn't that right? Whether it's me, Ye Si, or the others, every move has been calculated by you, without missing a single detail."
Fang Ke coldly looked at his stunned expression and said soberly, "I see that you are in the prime of your life and do not need a successor at all."
Mr. Li: "..."
Fang Ke said wearily, "Now that my mission is complete, I don't think you'd want such a dangerous person in your territory, right? Let's keep it simple..."
Fang Ke asked one last time, "Tell me where Yes is, and I'll leave immediately. You don't need to worry."
If he doesn't speak up soon, then we can start fighting.
A hint of bitterness appeared on Mr. Li's refined and noble face. "I'm sorry, I still hurt you."
Fang Ke remained silent, stubbornly demanding an answer.
Mr. Li remained silent for a long time. “Coco, whether you believe it or not, I have never been proud of the role I played behind the scenes. Such a large-scale operation could not have been carried out by me alone. It was the result of the joint efforts of you, me, and Yes.”
“Even if you are unwilling to accept the position of the chief god, the W Galaxy will always be your ally, and you and Yes will always be my honored guests.”
It is acceptable to remain silent.
Mr. Li raised his hand and gestured to Fang Ke's wrist, "Actually, you already knew where he was."
As Fang Ke followed his gaze, her pupils widened slightly, and she pressed down on the obsidian bracelet on her hand, her heart skipping a beat.
"The Heavenly Pearl is Yes's natal spiritual treasure, his companion, and an existence similar to Aslan's, but its power is estimated to be even stronger. As long as you call upon it, it will definitely lead you to Yes's whereabouts."
As soon as he raised his arm, the intense thought immediately connected with the Futian Pearl, and the entire surface of the Futian Pearl glowed with a hazy gray fluorescence.
The fluorescence was much dimmer than before, seemingly indicating that Yes was in a very weak state.
Fang Ke's heart began to pound, and she turned to leave.
Mr. Li called her from behind, and Fang Ke paused slightly, saying only, "We're even."
Mr. Li shook his head, "I will always owe you this, Coco, I'll wait for you to come back."
Fang Ke didn't answer and continued walking forward.
Mr. Li raised his voice and said, "Coco, go find him. A large part of the reason you made a deal with me back then was for Yes... You wanted to be with him 'cleanly' and start over."
Fang Ke stopped and turned to look at him. Mr. Li smiled at her.
“You are the same as Yes. When you discovered that he had traveled across several star systems to find you, you could no longer ignore the heart that you had been violently suppressing.”
"You once told me that without the system, could you have a normal life together, growing old together?"
"..."
She could feel as if a hand was gripping her heart; her nose, eyes, and throat all ached.
After a long while, he nodded and finally spoke.
"If I could bring him back... I'd take good care of everything."
Mr. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.
As Fang Ke turned around, the surrounding fog dissipated, and several bodyguards frantically searched for the two who had suddenly become separated at the elevator entrance on the 77th floor.
Everyone was surprised to see Mr. Li suddenly appear.
"Mr. Li, where have you been? Where is Miss Fang...?"
Mr. Li watched the numbers on the elevator display screen steadily decrease, and smiled wryly. "I'm going back now. Looks like I'll be eating alone today."
The bodyguards looked at each other, not daring to speak.
How dare someone stand Mr. Li up? Who is this Ms. Fang?
