Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent. The whispers of the two best friends were contained within the garden, where no outsiders could hear them.
“That’s true… but age is not a problem at all. I could tell back then that the little guy was either completely infatuated with you or quite drooling over you.” Keisha nodded to herself and continued, “I told you, no one can resist your charm, you old vixen.”
Her serious demeanor almost fooled even He Xi.
"No..." He Xi barely managed to react, then quickly stopped herself: "Your Majesty, didn't you understand what I meant? I meant that the gap between us is enormous..."
Keisha nodded: "I understand. You mean you acknowledge that he is a very good person, but you feel he is too young, so you are hesitant."
But he is destined to be an immortal god, so what does a temporary difference mean to us?
You know that's a mistake, and...
"Your Majesty!" He Xi almost laughed helplessly: "Why don't you just issue an imperial decree to match me up? Is there any need to drag me along like this?"
She felt that she really didn't mean anything by it. She thought that if Wang Ji could win her over in a few months despite the image being billions of light-years away, she would kowtow to him every day afterward.
That's ridiculous.
To be honest, she acknowledged Wang Ji's excellence.
First, she has to be good-looking. To be honest, if she wasn't good-looking, Keisha wouldn't even consider her, because Keisha knows she's a sucker for good looks.
Although everyone is attracted to good looks, she is especially fond of beauty.
As for genetic potential, in He Xi's eyes, it all comes down to this... What? Secondary biological abilities? Is that awesome?
Although immortality was a very crucial factor, it wasn't really important in her choice of a partner.
Just like Lena back then, as long as the genes are good enough, it's fine. What matters most is that they like it. They have nothing else but money.
To be precise, climbing up to their high branches is like obtaining a ticket to immortality.
If Wang Ji has any particularly obvious weakness, it would be that he is not yet a truly immortal super soldier.
This even makes him seem vulnerable at times.
No one knows why Wang Ji wasn't even a third-generation divine body when he was first created.
As for the rest, He Xi could only say that he was exceptionally talented, something even Keisha had to admit, something that once shook her to her core; he was a born king…
He is also an absolutely outstanding research officer, and could even be considered a scholar.
He Xi still hasn't figured out the many secrets that may have come from his inspiration.
These two points even make his looks and genes seem somewhat lacking.
To be honest, if it were just a secondary biological ability, Keisha wouldn't have shown herself.
Other reasons are insignificant; the most important reason is simply that it's not that serious.
His excellence shines like the sun in the eyes of those who understand it.
But He Xi really didn't think that she would have anything with him, at least not now. The simplest reason was that they were too far apart, there was an age gap, and there was no reason for it.
Although he often teased her, he was only an eighteen, no, nineteen-year-old kid, while she was thirty thousand years old—the age difference was too great.
At most, she saw him as a young king with great potential, or even a future king.
He's still just a child, almost like a baby.
and……
"I've sealed my heart away." He Xi sighed, looking up with a sense of melancholy. "I've long been prepared to spend the rest of my life alone, and I'll never love again..."
"Pfft..." He spat out half a mouthful of tea, splashing water everywhere.
He Xi wiped the tea off her face expressionlessly, and the sigh of disappointment she had just felt disappeared.
"I...I'm sorry." Keisha wiped her mouth, looking a little flustered, and apologized again, "Your joke was just too funny...I couldn't help it, hehehehe...I'm so sorry, please wipe it properly."
He Xi continued wiping her face expressionlessly, cleaning the water droplets clinging to her silver hair, and silently watching her.
They didn't mind that the Queen was dirty, nor were they in a hurry to wash her.
"I'm not joking." After wiping everything clean, she said blankly, "I have sealed my heart away from love; I will never again be tainted by worldly desires..."
Keisha quickly put down her teacup again, waving her hand with a smile, "Stop teasing me, I'm really old now, I can't take any more teasing, don't make me choke."
He Xi: "..."
"Cough...cough..." Keisha calmed herself down, barely suppressing her laughter. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, I won't force you or demand anything of you. Just stop saying things like that to tease me."
Love if you want, don't love if you don't.
Keisha hadn't found it this funny in a long time.
An old hag with lips, nails, and eyeliner painted in an incredibly youthful, bright pink, dressed to the point of being breathtaking every day, claiming to have an old and closed heart... This is no way to be cute.
Look at those smooth, delicate shoulders, and look at those silver, semi-sheer dresses that are always in new styles and never repeated.
Even if Keisha had some ideas and doubts and was using this as an excuse, she would still be an old witch, and a witch is a witch.
An old heart? That's nonsense.
There are patterns to be found in one's mindset, but there are also things that are hard to explain. Anyway, Keisha couldn't stand wearing such pink and delicate makeup right now.
"Don't arrange it for me..." He Xi thought for a moment, then sighed, resting her chin on her hand: "I don't know how to say it, but I just don't think it's going to work out."
