My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 558 - 0331 System’s Self-Rescue Action (Two-in-One)

Yun Qian pointed at the corner of her mouth: "You really don’t like it?"

"... To be honest, it’s a bit creepy when you smile."

"?"

With Xu Chang’an’s words, Yun Qian froze in place.

When she was by Xu Chang’an’s side, she rarely experienced true emotional instability. But at this moment, she stared blankly at him, her gaze penetrating through Xu Chang’an’s shoulder, the tree in the courtyard, the clouds, reaching the Frosty Heaven above.

The lightning was dense, the warmth akin to winter sunlight, yet Miss Yun only felt her heart turn cold.

"Boom..."

Some thunder rumbled from afar to near, the wind swept past Yun Qian’s hair tips, making her pitch-black and profound eyes shrink slightly.

Creepy.

He was referring to her.

It implied he was afraid of her.

"Tsk, Beisang City... no, Chaoyun Sect too." Xu Chang’an looked at the suddenly gathering dark clouds, shaking his head: "Miss, ever since we left the island, the outside world... the weather changes like a young girl’s face, from sunny to stormy in an instant, it clearly rained earlier, and now there’s thunder again."

The sky rapidly darkened.

In the distance, bright lightning seemed to traverse swiftly above the Frosty Heaven, moving from afar to near, soon illuminating the sky with terror.

"It’s going to rain again, let’s go inside." Xu Chang’an didn’t think much of it, heading towards the eaves.

Yun Qian stared blankly at Xu Chang’an’s back, until he came up to hold her hand, leading her up the steps, and stopped under the eaves, then Yun Qian snapped back to reality.

"Are you... afraid of me?"

"Afraid?" Xu Chang’an gently coughed, looking at Yun Qian’s calm face, but inside, he noticed slightly concealed panic and grievance, silently cursing himself as a terrible person.

He’s truly a villain, taking a chance to bully the girl.

Sigh.

"Miss, I’m already this wicked now, if I really had a legitimate reason to bully you, how would you get through your days?"

"...?" Yun Qian didn’t quite understand Xu Chang’an’s meaning, she just said, "As long as you like it."

"My dear Miss, you should have some temper..." Xu Chang’an was even more helpless, having bullied her like this, yet Miss Yun still showed a submissive attitude.

If she had a touch of the aloof temperament matching her looks, he wouldn’t occasionally bully her.

"These things don’t matter." Yun Qian shook her head, gripping Xu Chang’an’s fingers harder, "Do you... really think I’m scary?"

"How could that be." Xu Chang’an shook his head, holding Yun Qian’s hand, leading her inside: "Even if Miss is creepy, she is beautifully creepy... hmm, the kind that makes my heart flutter."

Though Xu Chang’an said he didn’t like it, the ’Primordial Energy Girl’ from before, with a smile like ’sunshine big sister’, was etched early in his mind, collected as an SSR, cherished as his treasure, and a source of joy when feeling down.

"So, you do like it." Yun Qian breathed a sigh of relief, bowing her head, feeling her rapid heartbeat.

"It’s hard not to like it." Xu Chang’an sighed: "After all, I’m a fickle person."

Seeing Yun Qian becoming reassured, the corner of Xu Chang’an’s eye twitched.

Hmm.

It’s really hard to say he didn’t like it.

Even if he did truly feel moved just now, he had a moment where he found it creepy... that’s also the truth.

But this matter cannot be known to the lady, otherwise Xu Chang’an could almost be certain, if he dared to say Yun Qian’s smile was scary, in the future... he could forget about seeing her smile.

Hmm?

Xu Chang’an suddenly frowned.

He had completely put the system aside, as long as he was with the girl, the Celestial Dao Points wouldn’t stop accumulating, so even though the system interface had been flooding, he didn’t pay it any mind.

But just now, he heard a notification sound quite different from the usual.

Not the purely mechanical voice as before, during the system broadcast, it seemed mixed with some static noise, Xu Chang’an listened carefully, realizing he had heard those noises before in the Illusion Realm provided by the system.

It was the sound of the world collapsing.

As if reminding him of something.

And what the system said was quite interesting.

[Warning, please proceed with caution, Host.]

What... does it mean?

Xu Chang’an was a bit bewildered.

This was the first time the system actively told him something, without issuing any task, or any additional warning, just a sentence... seemed like a concern?

Xu Chang’an’s gaze became much more serious.

Indeed...

This system is not as innocent as he thought, he must be more vigilant.

Yet he never thought, the system was forced by him to have no choice.

Just think about it, Xu Chang’an should have been the one to protect it, but in fact, from the beginning, he was the "savior" who brought great crises to this world every time.

Clearly, Xu Chang’an was its only hope, the source of all its aspirations.

Yet he turned against it, remained wary of himself and constantly entangled with Yun Qian, threatening to shatter this world like porcelain, who could bear it.

If the system had human emotions, it would probably cry and throw a tantrum like a child over his irresponsibility.

And frequently falling into crisis, even knowing issuing tasks would provoke Xu Chang’an’s vigilance, it still had to issue them to guide him.

This is the duty of a guide.

Making Xu Chang’an vigilant might make Miss Yun dislike it... extremely dangerous, but there’s no choice.

Letting Xu Chang’an mess around like this, one day if things really spiral out of control, eventually, it would be a reboot ending.
