Jiang Wang wasn't about to let Aunt Li Xue get away with it, so he pulled his arm back.
He then cupped Aunt Li Xue's face in his hands and began to knead it repeatedly.
"Bite, bite, bite! Are you a dog or something?!"
Just as Jiang Wang was about to say something more, he saw tears welling up in Aunt Li Xue's eyes...
"No, why are you crying if you bit me?"
"Does the pain I feel hurt when I bite you?"
"Pfft~"
Aunt Li Xue, who was initially very sad, was amused by Jiang Wang, but then she pouted and returned to her previous sad expression.
"What's wrong with you? Are you playing hard to get...?"
"Hmph, with your talent, you'll definitely surpass me sooner or later..."
Aunt Li Xue spoke with a pursed mouth, which looked rather cute.
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy that I've become stronger?"
Jiang Wang smiled and said to Aunt Li Xue, he had roughly understood what Aunt Li Xue was thinking.
As a master, the desire for one's apprentice to surpass them, yet also the fear of that the apprentice surpassing them, is a common human emotion... especially for someone as proud as Aunt Li Xue...
"I'm happy... but I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you. I'm afraid... I'm afraid... you won't want me anymore..."
As she finished speaking, Aunt Li Xue's eyes gradually dimmed...
"ah!"
Jiang Wang pinched Aunt Li Xue's cheeks with both hands, causing her to raise her head again, which she had wanted to lower.
He looked into Aunt Li Xue's big, watery eyes and said earnestly.
“Look at me.”
"Don't worry, that day will never come."
"But don't the stories say that men become bad when they get rich, and cultivators change wives as soon as they become strong..."
Although Aunt Li Xue was very excited, she continued speaking.
Jiang Wang didn't waste any words.
He grabbed Aunt Li Xue's hand and placed it on his heart.
"Believe me."
Seeing Jiang Wang's determined gaze, Aunt Li Xue gradually relaxed, and then let out a soft hum, a mixture of pride and shyness.
"Hmph! I'll reluctantly believe you this once~"
In fact, for someone like Aunt Li Xue, most of her understanding of love comes from storybooks and her own imagination. She herself has no experience in love, so she is somewhat naive when facing emotional issues, and even has a bit of a girlish feel to her.
But they were all just sincere expressions of emotion.
Moreover, the advantages brought by her talent and appearance have made Aunt Li Xue a very proud person for a long time.
This can be seen from her desire to become stronger to protect Jiang Wang; she will not easily admit defeat.
But the values that Jiang Wang suddenly displayed today, and the almost perfect data in various aspects, far exceeded Aunt Li Xue's expectations, which is why she felt uneasy.
But Aunt Li Xue quickly recovered and suddenly looked up at Jiang Wang and said.
"Hmph! Who catches up with whom is still up for debate! I'm the first SS+ in Kaiyuan! I definitely won't lose! You'll just be eating my dust!"
Looking at Aunt Li Xue's appearance, Jiang Wang smiled helplessly.
Faced with Aunt Li Xue's childish side, Jiang Wang didn't think she was overthinking things. Instead, he felt... a different kind of feeling. After all, who wouldn't want a wife who could be sweet, mature, and cute all at once...?
Moreover, no matter how many battles Li Xueyi had experienced or what kind of scenes she had witnessed, both of them were novices when it came to love.
Mutual support, encouragement, and progress are what a good partner should do.
Instead of blindly pursuing physical beauty while neglecting the connection of souls...
Although Jiang Wang's words were somewhat Versailles-like, after all, who was his target?
Is it him, Aunt Li Xue?!
After a brief moment of tenderness, Aunt Li Xue composed herself and, after teaching Jiang Wang how to operate the multi-functional instrument, sat down inside.
Thanks to Jiang Wang's lack of any hidden injuries, the instrument did not consume much energy.
This gave Aunt Li Xue the opportunity to undergo a check-up.
Seeing that Aunt Li Xue was ready, Jiang Wang began to slowly operate the equipment...
A moment later.
Li Xueyi's various data have also been released.
Unlike Jiang Wangwan's scan, Aunt Li Xue did not use evolution points to advance, nor did she have a bug hive to help repair her hidden injuries.
Her examination took an unusually long time.
There wasn't even a strong fluorescent energy flash during it.
Jiang Wang kept a close eye on the data in front of him.
The health status section is constantly updating with various hidden injuries.
Looking at the numerous hidden injuries and then at Aunt Li Xue inside the medical device, Jiang Wang frowned slightly.
He never imagined that Aunt Li Xue, the apple of the Star Alliance's eye, would have so many hidden injuries.
What Jiang Wang didn't know was...
Although his path to advancement was filled with scheming and war.
But Aunt Li Xue's path to advancement was not easy.
As someone who attracts a lot of attention, her cultivation level and actual combat strength are naturally very important.
Therefore, Aunt Li Xue also went through many battles from a young age.
Even a life-or-death struggle.
And then there's the existence of the Succubus Queen...
Whenever the Succubus Queen takes control of Aunt Li Xue's body.
If she can't seduce anyone, she will go on a rampage to destroy Aunt Li Xue's body, because the weaker Aunt Li Xue is, the greater the succubus's chances.
This is the real reason why Aunt Li Xue has many hidden injuries.
...
suddenly.
An even louder roar came from somewhere in the base.
The fluorescence inside the instrument gradually increased.
After a long while.
The instrument slowly came to a stop.
The surrounding lights were now even dimmer.
When Aunt Li Xue stepped out of the machine, Jiang Wang immediately noticed something different.
Aunt Li Xue, who was originally at Platinum Rank 9, has now fallen back to Platinum Rank 8, but the energy fluctuations around her have not decreased but increased, and have even become more stable...
Aunt Li Xue slowly stretched her waist after stepping out of the machine.
Her alluring figure was perfectly showcased as she stretched.
Jiang Wang, who was about to step forward to inquire about the situation, stopped in his tracks and began to admire the view.
When Aunt Li Xue noticed Jiang Wang's gaze, a blush flashed across her face.
"You scoundrel!"
Jiang Wang did not refute Li Xueyi's assessment.
Instead, he smiled and sent over the data he had.
"You were so hesitant just now, I really thought I was about to catch up with you, but I didn't expect you to be the one pretending to be weak while actually being strong."
Hearing Jiang Wang's words, Aunt Li Xue was taken aback at first, and then quickly glanced at her various data.
Aunt Li Xue, who had been feeling a little disappointed, instantly became happy and said with a touch of pride.
"Hmph~ Now you know how powerful your master is?~"
Seeing Aunt Li Xue's happy expression, Jiang Wang remained silent.
What I just said was not what Jiang Wang was trying to comfort Aunt Li Xue.
With the SS+ talent buff, where can Aunt Li Xue go among the weak and incompetent?
She felt she lacked talent only because she compared herself to Jiang Wang.
You should know that Jiang Wang was able to enter the Platinum rank by using countless bones and evolution points.
Aunt Li Xue is the one who truly cultivated herself to this level.
Moreover, even when she has hidden injuries, all her stats are extremely high, making her a well-rounded individual.
After recovering most of her hidden injuries, she is now a super-all-rounder.
As for why only most of it was repaired...
suddenly.
The lights in the instrument room were turned off.
Even the entire Xinyuan base stopped operating and entered a minimum power consumption mode.
In the darkness.
Aunt Li Xue said somewhat awkwardly.
"Looks like we can't stay here any longer..."
