This time, it was full of anomalies from the very beginning, completely different from the previous life, filled only with naked death and malice.
She slumped in a pool of blood, her face contorted in agony. The images of her parents' gruesome deaths and Zhang Tian's frantic words kept assaulting her mind, plunging her into chaos.
They were completely unaware that the sickle-like insect monsters around them were gradually approaching.
Meanwhile, Zi Xi and Mona watched all of this in silence in front of the screen.
"...6, is this a case of the werewolf self-destructing, a double-cross?"
"Ouch... but this is really terrible."
Mona even forgot to eat her potato chips, and after a long while she muttered to herself.
Zi Xi felt heavy-hearted.
She didn't sympathize with Xu Tiantian's parents and Zhang Tian, but the scene was still unsettling.
Just then, the space inside the room was torn apart again.
Wen Zhaoye's tall figure strode out, a trace of lingering killing intent still emanating from him.
His crimson pupils locked onto Zi Xi immediately, and only after confirming that she was safe and sound and sitting obediently on the sofa did his terrifying killing intent slowly subside.
He glanced at the horrific scene on the screen, his eyes showing no emotion.
Instead, he walked up to Zi Xi and lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated because of the lingering smell of blood on his body.
Mona, with remarkable quick wit, immediately grabbed a few bags of snacks, shrunk to the far corner of the sofa, trying to minimize her presence, inwardly screaming with delight.
This is exactly the scene of a doting boyfriend returning from battle, begging for praise.
Although this daddy-type boyfriend is a bit too hardcore, Sister Xi, hurry up and get him!
Praise him and give him some comforting words—oh no, we also need to heal the instructor's wounds!
But Zi Xi did not make any move.
The atmosphere inside the room became subtly tense for a moment.
Wen Zhaoye sat somewhat awkwardly on a small stool opposite the sofa, his scarlet dragon eyes had faded and returned to a deep, molten gold.
"Miss Zhou."
He hesitated for a long time, his gaze shifting, as if he had made up his mind. His voice was low but he deliberately softened it, as if afraid of startling someone.
"Um?"
Zi Xi raised her head, put down her drink, and looked at him.
Mona immediately perked up her ears, her eyes darting between the two of them, her inner monologue a jumble of thoughts.
Here it comes, the big shot who's asking for praise is coming!
"Ms. Zhou, what are your thoughts on your future partner?"
Wen Zhaoye avoided her gaze, staring at a bag of potato chips on the coffee table, and asked in an extremely casual tone.
Mona almost spat out her cola, quickly covering her mouth, her face turning red as she tried to hold it in, her mind screaming in despair.
That's a really direct question, isn't it?!
What's the difference between this and saying that the big boss likes Sister Xi, and what Sister Xi thinks of the big boss?!
Zi Xi was also slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting him to suddenly ask this question.
She looked at the man before her, who was clearly powerful but now seemed clumsy because of a simple question, and a faint smile flickered in her eyes.
"What do you mean? Are you referring to my criteria for choosing a partner?"
"It's very simple. I hope he is a person who can communicate and reason, reject violence, and resolve problems peacefully."
"After all, I am a pacifist."
But Zi Xi didn't avoid the question. Instead, she thought about it seriously for a moment, then spoke in a calm tone, but looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
"Fighting and killing, turning the world upside down, sounds exhausting and pointless, doesn't it?"
"The world is so beautiful, I don't want to waste time in the other world."
