When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 1072 408: Farewell (Part 3)

"In a few days, I'm going on a long trip, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back." Li Xiu said.

"What's happened? Didn't you already replace the Chairman to participate in that life-and-death battle? Why is there still something?" Li Ming'Er's eyebrows, like willow leaves, were almost knitted together.

"Do you trust me?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ming'Er and asked.

"Since I left Longevity Island, you are the closest person to me. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?" Li Ming'Er rolled her eyes at Li Xiu, saying angrily, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"If you trust me, then don't ask anything. After I leave, you should take Zai Zai to the City of Light. If I can come back, I will go to the City of Light to find you and explain everything to you. If I can't come back..." Li Xiu paused, then smiled and said, "If I can't come back, you will know everything then."

Li Ming'Er stared at Li Xiu for a long time, remaining silent. Li Xiu was somewhat unnerved by her gaze before Li Ming'Er finally spoke, "If you don't come back, I'll avenge you."

"No need." Li Xiu thought to himself, "Not to mention that you are not a match for Li Boyang, even if you have the ability to kill him, how could I let you bear the name of patricide."

"Then I will wait for you in the City of Light, you have to come back." Li Ming'Er's eyes burned as she stared at Li Xiu, unwavering.

She seemed delicate, but beneath it, there was a stubbornness that Li Qingyi did not possess, unlike Li Qingyi who was understanding and knew to sympathize with others. But this stubbornness used on Li Ming'Er is not a derogatory term, for stubborn people often more easily enter others' hearts because they have already laid their hearts bare before you, without any concealment.

"Alright." Li Xiu agreed solemnly.

Li Ming'Er's face softened a bit, her seductive face assuming a deliberately fierce posture, "If you dare not keep your promise, even if you hide in hell, I will drag you out and give you a good beating."

"When have I ever disappointed you with the things I've promised?" Li Xiu said, taking out the Longevity Treasure Chopsticks he had borrowed and returning them to Li Ming'Er.

"What does this mean?" Li Ming'Er's expression turned cold again, her eyes like daggers staring at Li Xiu.

"In case anything happens, you should first save your life. I don't want to come back and only be able to fulfill my promise at your grave." Li Xiu smiled.

"Bah, who can harm this lady in this lousy place?" Li Ming'Er puffed out her chest with a proud look.

"Better safe than sorry, you take it first." Li Xiu said.

"Alright, I'll take it." Li Ming'Er reached out and accepted the Longevity Treasure Chopsticks, but like a magic trick, placed another Longevity Treasure Chopsticks in Li Xiu's hand, causing him to smile wryly.

"What you give me, I will take. What I give you, you must also take." Li Ming'Er's crescent-shaped eyes looked even more beautiful.

"This... I..." Li Xiu was speechless.

"What? I don't want to find you at your grave to fulfill my promise later." Li Ming'Er interrupted Li Xiu.

"You..." Li Xiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted again.

"Better safe than sorry." Li Ming'Er smiled like a little fox.

"Alright." Li Xiu reluctantly accepted the Longevity Treasure Chopsticks originally carried by Li Ming'Er.

Li Xiu met everyone one by one, even Shale was summoned by Li Xiu to receive some resources and the Light Planting Technique's method.

The only one Li Xiu hadn't met alone was A-Fei.

As days passed, the bride-to-be had already ascended to the Divine Position, but still had only one talent skill to show for it, nothing else could be seen, even the Light of Truth was absent.

In appearance, the bride-to-be had changed greatly from before.

Previously, the bride-to-be's clothing was too simple and plain, apart from a set of red clothes, she didn't even have a pair of shoes, barefoot like a red-clothed version of Sadako.

Now, the bride-to-be was fully adorned with a phoenix coronet and bridal attire, her red wedding dress embroidered with strange patterns, the patterns seemed stitched with red crystal silk, and the phoenix coronet was embedded with countless red gemstones, even the embroidered shoes on her feet were inlaid with rubies.

With each movement, she seemed to pulsate with red glow, as if cloaked in rosy light.

Li Xiu could sense the enormous energy within the bride-to-be's body, but for some unknown reason, even though she had ascended to the Divine Position level, she still couldn't fight; even against the weakest demonic spirit, she would just stand behind Li Xiu.

"Could it be that she can only reveal her abilities after ascending to Unparalleled, or is she fundamentally a useless demonic spirit, no matter how good the quality, what use is it if she can't fight?" Li Xiu was somewhat frustrated.

Originally counting on the bride-to-be to show qualitative changes after ascending to the Divine Position, considering her extreme Aurora quality, she might be of great use, but the result turned out to be useless.

For days Li Xiu had been suppressing the light energy within his body, but already felt he could hardly suppress it any longer. If he hadn't been suppressing it all along, he might have ascended to Unparalleled days ago.

"Once I was desperately trying to upgrade level, now I have to desperately suppress it, this world is indeed peculiar." Li Xiu sighed lightly, came to A-Fei's door, and knocked on her room door.

"Come in." A-Fei saw Li Xiu, just said plainly, didn't ask anything.

Li Xiu handed a string of keys to A-Fei, "These are the keys to the Vault in the City of Light… This is the key to the City Lord's Mansion… This is the key to my personal vault... and this... the key to my old house... visit it whenever you have the time… better tidy it up once in a while..."

"Anything else?" A-Fei took the keys, but still didn't ask anything.

"No." Li Xiu thought for a moment, finally shook his head.

"Understood." A-Fei said expressionlessly.

"That's good." Li Xiu turned around, ready to leave.

"Stop there, don't turn back." A-Fei's voice suddenly sounded behind him, somewhat fierce, but within that fierceness, there seemed to be something else.

"What's up?" Li Xiu stood still, didn't turn back.

A-Fei didn't speak, Li Xiu just felt her coming over, then leaning against his back, her cheek resting on his shoulder, still didn't say anything.

After a long silence, A-Fei suddenly released Li Xiu and said coldly, "Go, don't turn back."

Li Xiu didn't turn back, step by step left until disappearing at the end of the long street, A-Fei said nothing, but tears had already filled her face.
