Li Xi transformed into the appearance of 'Long Aotian', with golden hair, two dragon horns, and an appearance like a sun messenger.
Xinghe noticed something was wrong with Fifth Gentle; his eyes were no longer gentle, but rather distorted and darkened.
It seems that my years of opposing him have indeed provoked him.
Li Xi shielded her behind her and looked at Fifth Gentle, "Are you here to die?"
A twisted look flashed in Fifth Gentle's eyes, and her gaze darkened. "I hate the two of you the most. If it weren't for the two of you, I would already be ruling the world by now."
"Then I'm sorry, but we were born to stop you." Li Xi said provocatively, her words flowing smoothly.
I'll kill both of you sooner or later!
Xinghe laughed out loud from behind Lixi.
Fifth Gentle looked at her with a gloomy expression, "What are you laughing at?"
Xinghe stepped out from behind Lixi. "When have you ever said the same thing? But you just can't kill us."
"You two are just lucky."
"Ability can be called luck. If you want to continue deceiving yourself like this, then go ahead."
Li Xi stroked her head and smiled gently, "Our Qiuqiu has such a sharp tongue."
"So you have to protect me, look how hated I am." Xinghe nudged her lips toward Fifth Gentle.
Looking over, Li Xi saw that Fifth Gentle's face was so dark it was almost black.
"Okay, I guarantee he won't hurt a single hair on your head."
Xinghe grabbed his hand and asked, "Why don't you kill him and let him do all sorts of evil in the human world?"
Li Xi flicked her nose. "You've cultivated immortality so many times, don't you still understand that life in this world is predetermined?"
Even if Fifth Gentle is eliminated, it cannot be guaranteed that he will be completely destroyed until that time comes.
"When will we have to wait?" Xinghe asked.
"Don't worry, you'll see in time." Li Xi held her small hand, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
"Enough! Let go!"
Watching the two of them flaunt their affection while discussing when to kill her, Fifth Gentle's already broken heart collapsed once again.
This sudden roar startled Li Xixinghe, and she instinctively pulled her clasped hands apart.
Xinghe realized what was happening, casually grabbed Li Xi's arm, glared at Fifth Gentle, and said, "You have two wives, you're not single, so what are you yelling about!"
Fifth Gentle was speechless after being rebuked. Yes, he has two wives, what is he envious of?
Being single in one's heart is far more lonely than being single in one's appearance.
Someone doesn't understand.
"Fairy, what are you doing here?" Li Xi asked.
"Aren't you happy to be able to restore your true form?" Fifth Gentle said with a smile.
"I'm happy, then I really have to thank you." Li Xi's smile didn't reach his eyes. He was naturally happy to see Qiu Qiu, but only if he wouldn't harm her.
Fifth Gently raised her hand, her fingertips swirling with white light. "Tell me," she said, "if I exposed you to the public right now, wouldn't some people be very interested in you?"
Xinghe suddenly thought of something and looked up at his surroundings.
This is the Academy of Sciences; there are cameras everywhere. Li Xi's transformation is practically invisible; for her to hug him like this, what's the difference between her and a lunatic?
Li Xi tilted her head slightly to look at him. "You're probably more worthy of study than I am. You managed to expose me. Do you think I have the ability to tie you up and bring you to a biologist?"
Fifth Gentle's expression changed several times, and she said angrily, "You're something else."
As they were talking, footsteps came from not far away. Fifth Gentle looked up, suddenly remembered something, and smiled, "Consider this a gift from me. Goodbye."
After saying that, Fifth Gentle turned and disappeared.
Li Xi also heard the footsteps and quickly said to Xinghe, "Qiuqiu, once you find the new male and female leads, you'll know who they are."
With a wave of her hand, Li Xi transformed back into her original form.
Li Xi shook her head, then suddenly seemed to remember something, pointing to the air, only to find nothing there.
"Hey, what's going on..."
Xinghe pulled down his hand, held it in hers, and looked at him, saying, "Lixi, I'll tell you more when we get back. For now, you have to cooperate with me."
Li Xi looked into her eyes and nodded.
The life management staff from the Academy of Sciences rushed over with their men, and were somewhat taken aback when they saw the two of them there.
The manager stepped forward, bowed slightly to them, and said in a very polite tone, "Dr. Li, Dr. Li, excuse me, may I ask what you were doing just now?"
The person disappeared from the surveillance footage in an instant; it was really terrifying late at night.
Xinghe smiled and said, "We're conducting an experiment. Sorry, this is our first time at the Academy of Sciences, and we haven't been paying much attention to some of our actions."
"What kind of experiment can make someone disappear instantly?" A man in his forties wearing a white lab coat walked over. He had gray hair, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had a slight smile on his face. He looked very kind.
Xinghe recognized him; she had just met him today—the president of the Academy of Sciences.
"I believe the dean will also be interested in this experiment."
"Oh?" The dean raised an eyebrow.
Xinghe took a pen out of his pocket.
She had foreseen this situation four years ago, so she had been researching this pen for four years. After a year of research, she had been carrying it with her ever since, but had not used it.
Xinghe turned to look at Lixi, "Shall we do it again?"
Li Xi nodded.
Xinghe held the pen, aimed it at Lixi, and activated the switch. A transparent substance covered Lixi, and instantly, he vanished.
"Dr. Li, where is Dr. Li?" The manager had never seen anything so amazing before and searched everywhere. This was something you only see on TV dramas, and now it was happening in real life?
Xinghe swept his pen across Lixi again, and he appeared.
"Slap, slap, slap..."
"Clap clap clap clap..."
The dean led the applause, and the others followed suit.
The dean smiled and said, "Invisibility has always been an experimental breakthrough we've been working on. I never expected you to have such abilities at such a young age. Dr. Li's willingness to dedicate himself to science is a spirit we should all learn from."
"You flatter me, Dean."
Xinghe exchanged a few pleasantries with them and said he would share his ideas, at which point the dean let them go.
...
After returning to their private villa, Xinghe told him about how he would become Long Aotian, and also told him that the birds they saw last time were instigated by the monsters they had just seen.
After hearing this, Li Xi looked completely incredulous and sat on the sofa for a while to calm down.
"Do monsters really exist in this world?"
"I've been afraid to tell you this because I was worried you'd react this way." Xinghe handed him a glass of water.
"But how could this happen in this world?" The more Li Xi got into physics, the more he believed in science. The sudden appearance of monsters was like a complete shock to his worldview.
