The woman was still a bit confused. When she heard him say that, she subconsciously glanced at him. Only after finding herself safe did she realize what he meant and glared back at him angrily.
But after seeing the other person's current condition, her momentum weakened again... It was obvious that the other person was not in good condition either; the bloodstains on the front of their clothes had not yet dried, and their face was somewhat pale. Even their jokes just now were actually spoken weakly.
No one had ever seen him in such a disheveled state. Xie Qingyan thought for a long time and realized that this was the first time. For a moment, he felt a little sad and his heart ached.
This was to save himself... no, it was because he was injured by the sea god, right?
But he did save me... no, wait, it seems like I saved him first?
But in any case, the two of them are now dead together in a confused and chaotic way...
Xie Qingyan herself had never experienced such a confused state of mind before, and for a moment she showed an unprecedentedly adorable blankness.
"We're not dead... right?"
Fortunately, she quickly regained her senses, blinked, and confirmed, "Is this the interior of the Sea God's abode? Not Hell?"
"Of course not, but it's close enough."
Xu Shi took a breath and looked around—the flesh walls were rhythmically writhing, occasionally dropping a drop or two of transparent mucus. A faint light from somewhere provided illumination, but upon closer inspection, it was deep darkness.
It's hard to describe exactly what kind of place this is, but it easily reminds him of the game Saya no Uta he played in his past life...
So we're really not dead?
Xie Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was puzzled, "How is that possible?"
She had seen it clearly from the deck; any creature swallowed by the sea god would be torn to pieces by the sharp teeth on its maw in an instant.
"Rely on this."
Xu Shi raised the "Yujing" in his hand.
It has to be said that the things Jiang Chengcheng creates are just like her—diverse and durable… In the last moment before falling into the giant maw, he desperately activated the backup energy he had previously installed, creating a temporary protective force field, which prevented the tragedy from happening.
Unfortunately, it seems to be overloaded and has run out of energy, so it can't work now. The function of linking and upgrading its capabilities is also somewhat damaged... Only a few bullets are left in the inner tube, which can be used as a pistol.
"Aren't you going to thank Chairman Xu?"
The petty, mean-spirited man suddenly felt a pang of heartache; this would definitely require a major overhaul... Little Stick had been with him for so long, their bond was very deep, okay?
"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. Why didn't you just live a good life after I saved you? Why did you have to come and die with me?"
Xie Qingyan retorted, both amused and annoyed, "Our Chairman Xu is shrewd his whole life, how could he make such a stupid mistake at the most critical moment?"
"Because... I don't want you to die either."
Xu Shi became more serious, and his tone became more emotional, "At least from the moment you risked your life to save me, I stopped thinking about it altogether."
That's the truth. He never said he wouldn't hold that dog woman in his hands, but only if she removed all the thorns herself.
He used quite a few KDA methods for this... Now it seems the torture was far more effective than he imagined. To be honest, he never expected the other party to go to such lengths for him.
For her, this might be the final answer to the question that neither of them could answer before.
What do I have to do for you to truly... forgive me?
"You don't owe me anything anymore, Qingyan."
Xu Shi smiled happily and murmured from the bottom of her heart, "At least I won't owe anyone anything in this life."
In any case, it is a very touching thing that someone is willing to die for you.
"And... what about the next life?"
Xie Qingyan was also very happy to hear this, and even blushed a little.
"Why are you still talking about the next life?"
Xu Shi joked.
"I just want to know."
Xie Qingyan persisted relentlessly.
"You should know the answer."
The two looked at each other for a while, and then Xu Shi suddenly laughed, "Because you already asked that question in your past life."
He's obviously a total jerk; he has a whole repertoire of sweet nothings to use to win over girls...
But Xie Qingyan just happens to fall for this. Aside from chatting and bickering with Xu Shi, she has practically no romantic experience.
Wasn't her heroic spirit before her death also a kind of confession? Now that she has received such a reply, she immediately felt a weight lifted from her heart, which made her extremely happy.
So she could no longer hold back and threw herself into his arms with all her might, kissing him deeply.
Xu Shi didn't try to avoid it and naturally put his arm around her slender waist.
Logically speaking, this should have happened when they made a promise to look at the stars on Silver Pine Island... It was only because of their special circumstances that they didn't continue. Now that there are no more grudges, many things have naturally fallen into place, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it compensation.
If the environment here weren't so terrible, what they would have done next would probably have been much more than just kissing...
"Evil thoughts increase entropy," the closed loop is complete... These words naturally popped into his mind, but then he thought again that was wrong. That bitch had never fallen for his tricks at all.
Cough cough, I'm used to it, I'm used to it.
"...Shameless."
Just as the two were engrossed in their conversation, a sudden rebuke interrupted them.
? !
Xu Shi was stunned. Were there other people here all along?!
Following the sound, they saw Miss Shen Qin kneeling on the ground, staring at the two of them with an expressionless face and an indescribably strange look in her eyes.
What are you doing here?
