Qiao Qiu had already made up her mind to distract Honghua and make sure she didn't overthink things.
Okay, by the way, let's move the things we need to do at night to the daytime.
This way, she will have enough time to ask the questions she wants to ask.
Yu Honghua was so engrossed in her enthusiasm that she forgot exactly where she was.
Before we knew it, it was dark.
Qiao Qiu carried the sleeping Yu Honghua back to the room, and then went into the bathroom in the west room.
It was warm and cozy inside.
Hmm, she's just trying to trick Honghua; there are actually some other people in the manor.
Yu Honghua felt the warmth on her body, let out a soft moan, and woke up.
He opened his eyes, and his dark pupils showed a maturity that had changed. The look of dependence in his eyes had turned into one of doting tenderness.
Qiao Qiu didn't notice; she frowned slightly and tugged at her clothes.
Why is this clothing so hard to take off?
Never mind, I don't want it.
Just as Qiao Qiu was about to use her internal force to shatter it, a soft little hand suddenly grasped her hand.
"Qiu'er, this dress is quite beautiful, don't ruin it."
A slightly amused voice reached Qiao Qiu's ears, and she looked up in surprise, "You recognize me again?"
Yu Honghua took her hand, kissed it, looked up at her with tender eyes, and said, "You are my other half who has bound me through countless lifetimes, how could I forget you?"
"Master, it's dangerous..." The ring's alarmed voice suddenly appeared in Qiao Qiu's mind.
Yu Honghua touched the ring with her finger, and a flash of shimmering green light appeared before the ring fell silent.
"What did you do to it?" Qiao Qiu asked, but suddenly no matter how she called the ring, it wouldn't respond.
"It's just for a short nap," Yu Honghua said with a smile, though she really wanted to take the ring off her hand. It was bad enough that it was always by Qiu'er's side, but it even dared to try and sow discord between him and Qiu'er!
“Oh,” Qiao Qiu nodded, trusting Yu Honghua completely.
Yu Honghua resisted the urge to touch Qiao Qiu's clothes and began to undress her.
Well, this thing is still useful to his wife.
"Do you remember who you are?" Qiao Qiu ignored Yu Honghua's actions and focused on her question.
Yu Honghua nodded.
"Tell me, we've been together for lifetimes, but I still don't know who you are, or even your gender..." Qiao Qiu said, still feeling a little heartbroken. What on earth had she fallen for?
Yu Honghua looked up at her, threw her clothes on the ground, and then said, "I don't have a name. If I did, I would be called Shengmen. As for my gender, I knew clearly from birth that I was a male, but I don't have a physical body."
"Uh...you're not genderless..." Qiao Qiu saw that he could be either a man or a woman without any problem, and thought he...cough...
Yu Honghua laughed, "Silly Qiu'er, you don't really believe there are beings born without gender, do you?" No matter what people are born as, they will live with one gender. Genderlessness simply doesn't exist; what exists are hermaphrodites.
Qiao Qiu coughed, and upon hearing his question, she suddenly became curious, "Then do you know if the ring is for men or women?"
"It?" Yu Honghua glanced at it disdainfully. "Just a baby boy who hasn't been weaned yet."
The ring, still unconscious: Holy crap, help me up! I can fight again, fight again! Who the hell are you calling a baby boy? I'm a man! A man!
Qiao Qiu burst out laughing, unable to suppress a smile.
"Qiu'er, I've given myself a name." Yu Honghua kissed her lips.
"What's your name?" Qiao Qiu asked curiously.
“Ru Feng, Ji Ru Feng,” Yu Honghua said.
"Ji Rufeng?" Qiao Qiu stroked her chin. Why is his surname Ji? And Rufeng, does it allude to Ji Rufeng? Qiao Qiu thought to herself, and then blinked.
Yu Honghua took her neck into her mouth and gently sucked. Hearing her question, she whispered in her ear, "Like a maple leaf, like the maple leaves of autumn, the maple turns red only because autumn comes."
Aren't you named Qiu? Then his surname is Ji.
You are mine, and only mine.
Qiao Qiu's heart skipped a beat, then started pounding rapidly, her ears and the base of her neck turning red.
Seeing such a magnificent sight, Yu Honghua sighed contentedly, "How can I not love you like this? I long to see you as you were before, to hold you in my own body, instead of someone else's."
He fell in love with his Qiu'er at first sight, hmph.
"Wait, have you seen what I originally looked like?" All the romantic feelings were shattered by these words. Qiao Qiu's face was still flushed, but her eyes were much clearer.
Yu Honghua: "..."
What's it like to have an exceptionally intelligent wife? It means you absolutely can't afford to be dizzy, because if you are, she'll reveal something truly shocking.
"You've seen this before..." A thought flashed through Qiao Qiu's mind, "You're that voice, the one who told me to find the ring!"
Yu Honghua lowered her head and touched her nose. Oh no, she'd been found out.
He looked up and said, "Wife, listen to me."
Qiao Qiu stopped her fist from striking. Looking at his submissive expression, she really couldn't bring herself to hit him.
"you say!"
The ring could free her, which is one thing, but the fact that he pushed a little liar onto her without telling her the truth, leaving her guessing and suspicious, is another matter entirely!
Yu Honghua explained, "Because it's the only thing that can make you lose control, even though I know it will deceive you, I will still send it to you. It's also because of its existence that I can't easily tell you what you'll do if it hears you and stops cooperating."
The rest can be left to him.
"Then how come you can make it fall asleep now? Tell me about it." Qiao Qiu felt like she had entered a big mystery. It seemed to be getting clearer, but in reality, she was getting more and more confused.
"As the only being capable of countering the curse array, although Heaven cannot completely destroy me, it can weaken my abilities and seal me away," Yu Honghua said. "The so-called protagonists of each world are actually tools to strip me of my power. If they become powerful and have a perfect life, while I do not, then my power will be stripped away by Heaven."
Qiao Qiu finally understood. Because she made the protagonist's life less than ideal, Ji Rufeng, who was originally as weak as the ring, was able to slowly regain his power and find his memories.
"What exactly is that ring?"
The ring's power is also weakening. Could it really be related to breaking the curse?
“It is the key to unlocking me, a key to which I myself do not even know the true meaning of my existence,” Yu Honghua said.
"What do you mean?" Qiao Qiu's eyes flickered. The ring was actually the key to opening the gate of life. This was not much different from what it had told her before. So, the ring was not a lie after all.
