“This is indeed unbelievable, but you have to believe it,” Xinghe said. “Because it’s true. That monster has long considered us its mortal enemies.”
"You went to the US because of it, right?" Li Xi asked.
Xinghe nodded. "That's right. This matter is far more complicated than you imagine. That fox demon possessed Fifth Gentle. She was previously the heir to Fifth Credit and is now the CEO of Fifth Oil Company. If I hadn't applied to go to the United States, she could have easily crushed me without even turning into a demon."
Li Xi remembers how she became an orphan—it was because of Fifth Credit.
If she hadn't been lucky, none of what happened later would have happened.
“I am not from this world.” Xinghe dropped another bombshell on him.
Li Xi was fried until crispy on the inside and tender on the outside.
"Neither do you."
Lixi...
“I came into this world because of you.” Xinghe Xiu’s long fingers tapped on the teacup. “You have your mission, and my mission is to protect you before you transformed and had no memories.”
"Did you come to my side because of a mission?" For some reason, Li Xi felt an emptiness in her heart after asking this question.
"Yes, mission, you're my husband, of course I have to follow you. You think you can dump me? No way." Xinghe smiled gently, a slight upturn to her lips.
Li Xi's heart skipped a beat. "You mean we were in our past lives?"
"Mm." Xinghe nodded.
"I understand." He finally understood the thing that had troubled him for so long.
At the time, he couldn't find a reason, so he thought that he was shameless enough when he was crazy, and that he made Xinghe like him just because of his looks.
Now he finally understands.
Because she loves him.
Four years ago, he certainly wouldn't have understood, but now... Li Xi looked at Xinghe, and now he understood, because his whole heart was filled with only her.
"Xinghe, let's get married."
"Huh?" Xinghe looked at him, a little confused.
“Let’s get married.” Li Xi repeated, and continued, “We were husband and wife in our past life, and I want to give you a wedding in this life too.”
Xinghe hadn't heard him propose to her in a long time; so long that her memory was starting to fade.
She paused for a moment, as if she hadn't reacted immediately.
Li Xi took out a box, stood up, and knelt on one knee in front of her.
Xinghe looked at the box he had opened; inside was a diamond ring.
This diamond ring is very special. In this small world, you can see a sky full of stars and a stream flowing beneath them.
Her tears fell without warning.
This kind of technique is not something an ordinary designer could do; he did it himself.
The first time, he made a diamond ring for her himself.
"Xinghe, don't cry." Li Xi didn't expect to make her cry. She carefully held the box in one hand and wiped away her tears with the other.
When Li Xi saw her cry for the first time, she panicked and didn't know what to do.
Xinghe picked up the box. "Put it on me."
Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, picked up the ring, and put it on her finger.
"This is the first time you've made a ring for me. I never expected you to do this." Xinghe wiped away her tears. She knew, she had always known, that he was the best to her. When she saw this ring, her senses seemed to expand to their maximum, and his kindness to her appeared clearly in her mind.
"This is the first time I've made a ring, and I have no idea whether you'll like it." Li Xi stared at her, her eyes seemingly devoid of anything else.
“Of course I like it.” Xinghe looked at the diamond ring on her hand, then at the ring on her other hand, the one that accompanied her soul. “I like rings; they mean a lot to me.”
"Master..." The ring was almost moved to tears.
Li Xi held her hand and said, "I will do a lot for you in the future."
Xinghe shook his head. "This is the only one. I only want this one."
"Master, didn't you tell me that?!" The ring thought angrily in her mind.
Xinghe answered it in her heart: "It's what I'm talking about. One represents my only lover, and the other represents my family. They are both unique. They are my only ones in this cursed world."
"Master..." The ring was at a loss for words again. It had already said it so many times—it didn't need to repeat itself. But besides protecting her, what else could it do for her?
Li Xi smiled, feeling touched. "Okay, whatever you say."
The villa was warm and inviting, but some of the demons were not so kind.
When Fifth Gentle returned to his villa, he was greeted by his two beautiful wives.
With beautiful women on his left and right, he still felt something was missing.
Fifth, Qingrou showed little interest and went to the study alone.
His study was furnished exactly like his office in his company.
Fifth, Gentle habitually stood in front of the French windows, gazing into the distance.
This was originally Dong Qiuming's habit, but when did it become his habit?
Fifth, she gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Now, what can he do to deal with them?
One or two of them became objects of state protection. Even if they returned to their original forms, they couldn't defeat them; even if they became ordinary people, they still couldn't defeat them.
Fifth Gentle no longer knows what she should do.
He began to think about what he really wanted.
By the way, what he wants most is this world!
Does he still want it now?
The answer in Fifth Gentle's heart has never changed.
What changed was his self-confidence.
When a person initially has advantages, but one day they find that they are completely inferior to others, their confidence will be gradually eroded.
The fifth gentleness is just like that.
He walked to his desk, took out a cigar, cut it, lit it, and started smoking.
The study was lit, yet eerily silent.
He sat down on the sofa, the smoke he exhaled blurring his delicate features.
What should you do if you can't get something?
Fifth Gentle looked outside, taking in the city's outline. His gaze twisted for a moment, then softened again.
If you can't have it, then destroy it!
The next day, just as Xinghe and Lixi were excitedly discussing their wedding, disaster struck.
"Master, Fifth Gentle has poisoned the city, and many people have been infected."
"Damn it, he's gone too far!" Xinghe was also furious.
"Master, isn't this all your doing? If you hadn't pushed him, would he have resorted to such desperate measures and launched a large-scale attack?"
"You dare blame me for this? You know perfectly well that Fifth Gentle harms and even eats people. Besides, when I forced him to do things, was I forcing him? I was stopping him from harming people!" Xinghe rolled her eyes.
"That's right, sob sob, Master, I'm sorry."
"Stop with the nonsense. Tell me first, can modern medicine handle this poison?" Xinghe hurriedly walked out of the Academy of Sciences. She hadn't seen the poison and couldn't confirm anything.
