Chapter 375 I am old and have a bad heart.
The purpose of Meng Zhiyi bringing Shen Que to the city this time was just to buy the right ring.
Not for anything else, just for my own little selfish desires.
After achieving their destination, the two did not linger in the city. They stopped by a flower shop and bought a bunch of gloriosa lilies before returning to the airport.
At this time, Leo and the housekeeper had already arranged for people to move all the supplies onto the plane, waiting for them to come back and then preparing to set off.
After the two came back, Leo noticed that there were extra rings on their hands.
If this happened under normal circumstances, Shen Que would inevitably be ridiculed and scolded.
But when Leo thought about what Meng Zhiyi had said to him, he was no longer in the mood. Instead, he was already feeling sad for his good brother in his heart.
"Is there anything else? If not, we'll leave." Leo asked.
"Let's go. If we delay too long, I'm afraid something might happen to grandma." Meng Zhiyi had no objection and stepped onto the plane.
Then, the group set out again, heading towards the pole.
On the other hand, Lian Mubai chose the sea route. After taking Madam Shen to the high seas, he directly changed to his own ship.
On the ship were Lian Mubai's men who were raised in Country M, and almost all of them were deployed this time.
After getting on the boat, Lian Mubai was considerate enough not to completely restrict Madam Shen's movements. He just forbade her to touch any communicator and gave her the greatest possible freedom in other areas.
Lian Mubai was not worried that she would commit suicide.
They were all old enemies who knew each other well, and Lian Mubai knew that Madam Shen was not someone who would easily seek death.
"Next, we will sail on the sea for about a week. You must miss Meng Zhiyi. We will see her soon." Inside the cabin, Lian Mubai held a knife and fork in his hand, eating steak elegantly, and said to Mrs. Shen who was sitting opposite him.
Old Madam Shen was slowly cutting the steak on the plate. She looked so calm that she didn't look like she was kidnapped.
She chewed the food in her mouth and said lazily, "You should enjoy it more. After all, you won't be able to enjoy it in the future."
Lian Mubai laughed angrily, and his hands became more vigorous when cutting the steak: "Are you so confident that you think Meng Zhiyi can kill me?"
Madam Shen raised her eyebrows: "What else? You don't have much of your resurrection armor left, right?"
Lian Mubai didn't know how to refute for a moment.
After all, Madam Shen was right.
He looked sinisterly at the man in front of him who had long lost his glory and was now in his twilight years.
The person sitting in front of me is clearly no longer the same as before.
But in Lian Mubai's mind, it was still the girl in red who looked back and smiled under the crabapple tree.
At that time, I had already become the villain of that small world.
The ending that the Lord God had planned for him was to be eliminated by the woman in front of him.
At first, Lian Mubai was looking forward to it every day, waiting for that woman to come and cause trouble for him.
But in the end he found that this person actually fell in love with his system.
And for it, I violated the rules and was forced to stay in that world.
Finally, the Lord God gave the order for it to kill the man.
But no one expected that Lian Mubai actually had a selfish desire to replace the system and become the lover she mentioned.
Thinking of this, Lian Mubai felt a gathering of anger in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Bang!" Lian Mubai slammed the knife and fork in his hand on the table.
Old Madam Shen was startled, looked up and rolled her eyes at him: "Are you sick? You get startled all the time. I'm old, and I'm not good at being dirty."
Lian Mubai gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly, "Why?"
"Why why?" Old Madam Shen looked puzzled.
"Why didn't you let me replace that broken system?" Lian Mubai gritted his teeth and continued to ask stubbornly, "Obviously, my authority is higher than his! I can even help you more!"
When talking about her lover, Mrs. Shen's face finally showed an emotion other than calmness.
She slowly put down the knife and fork in her hand, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Because he is irreplaceable."
"!?" Lian Mubai did not accept this answer: "Is there no other reason?"
Madam Shen blinked, thought for a moment, and replied, "Because he is the first person I can rely on in this strange world."
Lian Mubai: "If you met me first, would it be different?"
"This assumption is not valid. Let's try another one." Old Madam Shen waved her hand, picked up the water glass and took a sip.
When it comes to love, there is no such thing as first come first served.
Seeing that she really didn't want to answer, Lian Mubai felt as if something in his heart had collapsed and was empty.
After a moment, Lian Mubai gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Oh, you really think I care? Wait, I will let you know how ignorant your original choice was!"
Old Madam Shen looked at him and opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
The days of drifting on the sea were very boring. After returning to her room, Mrs. Shen would always stare at the endless sea in a daze.
She had a vague feeling that in this confrontation with Lian Mubai, one of them would have to die.
Or, die together.
Thinking of Meng Zhiyi's stubborn temper, Old Madam Shen was a little worried.
As if she had thought of something, Madam Shen took out the jade pendant she had been wearing.
This was the gift Meng Zhiyi gave her last time, and it was also the one she put on Meng Zhiyi herself in the original world.
There are cracks on the jade pendant, which were left when Meng Zhiyi left the system.
Old Madam Shen touched the jade pendant and could vaguely feel the electric current-like power contained in the jade pendant.
The system had explained to her that it was the power used to control the system. When the jade pendant was worn by Meng Zhiyi, it absorbed some of it more or less.
This is also the reason why the jade pendant fell into this time and space.
Lian Mubai was out of the control of the Lord God, which led to the situation being out of control.
But if Lian Mubai could be restrained again, the problem would be easily solved.
Maybe, this time, the jade pendant can help them again.
Next, we just have to wait to reach the pole.
*
On the other hand, Meng Zhiyi and his team had already reached the pole ahead of time.
This place is frozen all year round, the climate is extremely harsh, and there are hundreds of dormant volcanoes scattered across this land.
"We have to go to this place."
Inside the makeshift tent, everyone had already put on warm clothing and were now gathered around a table looking at a map.
The butler pointed to the volcanoes marked on the map and continued, "This volcano has the strongest magnetic field."
"Lian Mubai will definitely choose this place."
The others looked at the location on the map, and their expressions became solemn.
Meng Zhiyi: "To get here, we have to find another boat. If we walk, I'm afraid we'll freeze to death here before we get halfway there."
Leo stroked his chin and said, "No wonder Lian Mubai chose the water route. It is indeed faster to go by sea."
Shen Que said seriously: "It doesn't matter, maybe we can arrive at the same time."
