Volume 2, Chapter 153 – Loving Without Doubt, Ten Years as Wives
“ Hah …”
The little fox was held in Qu Qingtang’s embrace, breathing heavily in large gasps.
Her cheeks were flushed red, making her look charming and adorable.
“Zhuxin,” Qu Qingtang called to her gently. “The marking is complete. Do you want to rest for a while?”
“No…” The little fox shook her head. She extended her slender, delicate little hand and grasped Qu Qingtang’s palm.
“Qingtang… let’s do it.”
“Mm?” A flash of surprise crossed Qu Qingtang’s eyes. She said with concern, “But your body…”
“Last night you were just… by Song Shiyuan…”
“Mm…”
Before Qu Qingtang could finish speaking, Lu Zhuxin gently pressed a finger against her lips.
The little fox in front of her shook her head once more.
“Qingtang… you don’t need to worry about me so much.”
“I’m an Eighth Realm demon cultivator. I’m not that delicate.”
“Moreover, I’ve already decided to become your wife… naturally I should do what a wife should do…”
The little fox’s small hand covered the back of Qu Qingtang’s hand. Her five fingers threaded through Qu Qingtang’s, grasping her hand and slowly moving it downward, sinking into the water.
Finally, it gently pressed below the little fox’s lower abdomen.
“Take me.”
“Qingtang, let me become yours.”
Qu Qingtang lowered her eyes.
The little fox had said this much. If she continued to act coy and refuse, it would seem rather hypocritical.
Immediately, Qu Qingtang extended a lotus-like arm around the back of the little fox’s neck.
Qu Qingtang leaned down slightly and once again kissed the charming and adorable fox demon girl in her embrace.
The fragrance was rich and intoxicating, refreshing to the heart.
The petite girl was like a clear spring from the mountains, sweet and fragrant.
Qu Qingtang gently supported her with one hand, letting her rise and fall, floating on the pool water.
Red flower petals floated all around, drifting slowly with the ripples.
Suddenly, the gently spreading ripples became violent, the splashing water pushing the scattered petals away.
Qu Qingtang didn’t feel that barrier that had once existed.
What she felt most deeply now was the girl’s warm body temperature and water-like tenderness.
Qu Qingtang brought Lu Zhuxin with her, sinking together into the water.
The rich, fragrant scent spread unrestrained through the bathroom with the rising steam.
The petals drifted away. The bathroom continuously echoed with the sound of splashing water.
Cherry-pink fur and ink-black hair were soaked together in the water, intertwining, just like their owners.
The little fox also wrapped both arms around Qu Qingtang’s back, responding to her selflessly until the warm pool water completely submerged them both.
They embraced in the water, entwined to the extreme.
The wine fragrance and floral scent seemed ready to completely permeate them both.
Qu Qingtang felt like she was somewhat drunk. As a Venerable Saint, she shouldn’t be affected by this bit of spiritual medicine wine vapor.
However, at this moment, she was willing to let instinct dominate her and sink together with the little fox in her arms into this moment’s pleasure.
Qu Qingtang took the little fox three times.
Her jade-bamboo-like pale and slender fingers seemed ready to be soaked and permeated by that sweet bamboo-like essence.
Until the little fox could bear no more and repeatedly begged for mercy, Qu Qingtang finally fished her out from the pool water overflowing with fragrance.
The little fox leaned against Qu Qingtang with a satisfied expression and fell into a deep sleep.
Qu Qingtang looked at the little fox’s completely unguarded sleeping face, a smile hanging at the corners of her lips.
She lifted her hand, extending her tongue to lick the fingertips soaked in sweet spring water.
The sweet fragrance stimulated her taste buds.
So sweet, so fresh.
It also carried rich pure Yin spiritual energy.
For a sword cultivator, it was simply the ultimate delicacy.
It made one savor the aftertaste, unable to stop.
Tonight was truly a wonderful night.
Qu Qingtang took out a soft blanket and helped the little fox dry herself.
She formed a seal and brought the sleeping little fox back to the sleeping quarters.
Arriving at the soft large bed in the sleeping quarters, Qu Qingtang pulled over the bedding and covered them both.
She held the fragrant and soft little fox. Having suffered in despair through lonely cycles for a thousand years, this was the first time she slept a peaceful sleep.
That night, Qu Qingtang slept very sweetly, without even dreaming.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.
Her consciousness gradually awakened from deep sleep. Qu Qingtang felt refreshed, comfortable throughout her entire body.
Last night’s lingering taste was truly too wonderful.
“Qingtang, you’re awake.”
The sweet and adorable little fox in front of her was propping up her head with one hand, looking at Qu Qingtang with a smiling expression.
“Really, how can you be even more sleepy than me?”
Qu Qingtang also felt surprised. She had actually truly fallen asleep, and woken up later than this little fox.
When did this little fox’s stamina become so good?
Last night, she had persisted for ten times longer than before.
Was it because the Pure Yang mark suppressed her heat period, allowing her cultivation to return while also restoring her stamina?
Qu Qingtang remembered clearly from last night that after the Pure Yang mark on the little fox’s neck took shape, the Eighth Realm great demon’s demonic power that had gone dormant due to the heat period had also quickly resumed flowing.
So before, the little fox’s poor stamina was purely because the heat period had weakened her cultivation?
“What are you thinking about, Qingtang? You’re staring at me in a daze so early in the morning. You’re not thinking about something bad again, are you?”
The little fox extended a slender finger, pointing at Qu Qingtang accusingly.
Her sweet voice pulled Qu Qingtang’s consciousness back from contemplation.
“Mm.”
Qu Qingtang responded softly.
Looking at the pure and adorable pretty face of the little fox before her, Qu Qingtang’s mind flashed with her charming appearance during last night’s fish-and-water pleasure, and some thoughts couldn’t help but arise in her heart again.
“Zhuxin, I want you.”
She drew close to this fragrant and tempting little fox, lightly sniffing her shoulders and neck, lingering on the sweetness of those beautiful collarbones.
A flash of surprise crossed the little fox’s eyes.
“Qingtang, bad!”
“So lewd! Really bad!”
Rеаⅾ οո КаtRеаԁіոɡСаfe
“However…” The little fox’s finger tapped thoughtfully. “If Qingtang wants it, it’s not impossible.”
“After all… satisfying one’s lover’s desires is also a wife’s responsibility.”
“Ah?” Qu Qingtang’s face showed obvious surprise. She had just said it casually, never expecting the little fox in front of her would actually agree.
“What’s wrong? Why are you spacing out again?”
The little fox puffed out in dissatisfaction.
“Weren’t you the one who said you wanted it?”
“Why are you having second thoughts now?”
“Alright, hurry up and lie down.”
Qu Qingtang pressed her lips together slightly. “Lie down?”
“That’s right.” The little fox tilted her head and said, “Before, it was always you accommodating me. Now let me, as your wife, satisfy you.”
Qu Qingtang was very curious about how this little fox, who previously could only last less than two minutes, planned to satisfy her.
So she lay down as instructed.
Her heart held a hint of anticipation.
Was this the first time?
What would this first experience be like?
The little fox burrowed under the covers, using both hands to push open Qu Qingtang’s knees, one hand propping against the bedsheet.
“Qintang, have you heard the story of the carp leaping over the dragon gate?” The little fox’s voice softly transmitted.
A flash of surprise crossed Qu Qingtang’s eyes.
As the little fox narrated in detail, she seemed able to see a mischievous little fish freely playing and swimming in a mountain stream.
It splashed waves against stones, using its mischievous and powerful fish tail to create layers of spray, stirring up sparkling ripples among the mountain ravines.
It swayed left and right, sometimes going with the flow in leisurely slow swimming, sometimes leaping straight up through the waves, bravely defying the rapids.
It traversed mountain springs, swam against torrents, crossed rocky mountains.
Finally reaching straight to the waterfall’s peak, the fish leaped over the dragon gate.
“ Hah! “
This magnificent scene seemed to appear on paper, as if frozen eternally in this moment.
Qu Qingtang released her hands. Just now she had been too immersed in the thrilling story of the carp leaping over the dragon gate, not noticing that the bedsheet beneath her had been torn by her grip.
The little fox poked out her small head from under the covers.
She licked her pink, moist lips and asked with a smile, “Qintang? Are you satisfied?”
Qu Qingtang bit her lower lip. She reached out and pulled the little fox into her embrace.
“Zhuxin, I’m very satisfied.”
“This feeling, and all of this, is so beautiful it’s like being in a dream.”
The little fox, hearing this, pursed her lips.
“Oh? In your dreams, is there also such a cute girl to be your wife?”
Qu Qingtang paused for a moment, then laughed softly. “You’re right, this isn’t a dream.”
“I couldn’t find a girl as wonderful as you.”
The little fox raised her head and lightly kissed the corner of Qu Qingtang’s lips. “Qintang really knows how to praise people.”
Qu Qingtang smoothly turned over, pressing the little fox beneath her.
“Mm!”
“Mm!!”
The two entangled and played on the bed for a while, not reluctantly getting up until past noon.
The afternoon sunlight was warm, the wind gentle and clouds light. The two toured Fox Palace’s magnificent scenery together.
Qu Qingtang kept feeling as if she were in a dream.
Flowers in profusion, fragrance extending for miles.
The pure and sweet fox demon girl frolicked among the flowers, chasing butterflies playfully. The garden echoed with laughter as clear and sweet as silver bells.
Qu Qingtang couldn’t help but become entranced by the sight.
The flowers were beautiful, the scenery beautiful, the fox girl also beautiful.
Until the little fox tired of playing and rested leaning against the pavilion’s gallery railing, that fluffy big tail swaying left and right like a cotton ball.
Qu Qingtang rubbed her fingertips, her heart stirring.
She stepped forward and embraced the bewildered little fox from behind.
Gently kissing the tender snow-white skin exposed above the little fox’s collar.
“Zhuxin, I want you here.”
“From behind.”
“I want to take you once.”
“May I?”
As she spoke, Qu Qingtang wrapped one arm around the little fox’s waist, her other hand reaching toward the little fox’s skirt hem.
A flash of surprise crossed the little fox’s face. She quickly understood Qu Qingtang’s intention.
She didn’t resist, only letting out a soft, demure “Mm.”
In the flower beds, colorful butterflies flew in pairs.
On the treetops, birds sang in harmony wing to wing.
In the pavilion, fine rain suddenly fell, moistening things silently.
Qu Qingtang wasn’t satisfied with just this. She lifted the little fox horizontally into her arms and gently descended into the flower beds.
Using the magnificent floral scenery as bedding.
The sound of wind, water, and birdsong intertwined and blended into one.
Even that magnificent floral scenery extending for miles seemed at this moment to be coated with a layer of seductive color.
The cool pheromones and the intense Pure Yang fragrance connected among the flowers, surpassing all other fragrances.
The fine rain suddenly changed, becoming a torrential downpour.
Qu Qingtang felt like she had opened Pandora’s box.
Like a dam that had accumulated for many years, when the floodgate initially opened, it rushed out for a thousand miles.
She became infatuated with this feeling.
Having a lover who was completely obedient to her, willing to fulfill any request, was an extremely happy and joyful thing.
In the garden, in the bath pool, behind the artificial mountain, in the study.
Many, many places in Fox Palace bore traces they had left.
Qu Qingtang felt like she was about to drown in this damned tender haven.
During this time, she more than once wanted to call out to the System, but after seeing the little fox’s gentle and lovely appearance, she inexplicably dismissed the thought of calling the System.
Why bother?
There was simply no need for it anymore.
After they had opened their hearts to each other, this little fox had completely transformed into a sweet, lovely, completely obedient and gentle little wife.
Reaԁ оո ΚatRеаdіnɡСаfe
No matter what requests Qu Qingtang had, she was willing to fulfill them.
No matter what positions Qu Qingtang wanted, she was willing to try.
No matter how excessive Qu Qingtang was, even though the little fox would be extremely shy, she had no complaints.
She was really, truly so obedient.
Sometimes, Qu Qingtang would even think that if this little fox could really continue staying by her side like this, being an obedient and considerate little wife, that might not be a bad thing.
These shameless days passed for who knows how long.
One day, the fox demon little wife lay obediently in Qu Qingtang’s embrace.
“Qingtang… how long have we been together like this?”
Qu Qingtang was silent for a moment.
Joyful times always seemed incomparably brief.
Time was like fine sand, slipping away from one’s fingertips without notice.
“Almost half a year, I suppose.”
Qu Qingtang also felt a trace of melancholy in her heart.
This half year had passed in such a flash.
“Why ask this suddenly?”
The little fox nuzzled Qu Qingtang’s cheek with her fox head.
“Qingtang, the shallow marking you planted on me, how long can its effect last?”
The Pure Yang marks sword cultivators planted on fox demons were generally divided into two types.
One was the shallow marking planted on the Rain Dew acupoint. The other was the deep marking planted on the demon core.
During this time, when Qu Qingtang made love with the little fox, she had always been careful to avoid changing the shallow marking into a deep marking.
Before obtaining the little fox’s consent, she couldn’t do that.
“A Pure Yang mark planted by a Venerable Saint can maintain for at least a year. Why ask this suddenly?”
The little fox was silent for a while. “That means after another half year, it needs to be planted again, right?”
Qu Qingtang detected something wrong.
“Zhuxin, do you want me to plant a deep mark on you? But when a fox demon is given a deep marking during their heat period, the probability of forming a spirit fetus is high.”
“I know,” the little fox said solemnly.
“Although I already consider myself your wife, but… Qintang, our relationship is only limited to within this small Fox Palace.”
“Qintang… I don’t want it to be like this anymore.”
“Let’s get married.”
“Then, you can plant the deep mark.”
“I want a child.”
“A child that belongs to both of us.”
Qu Qingtang tightly held the little fox in her arms.
“Alright.”
“We’ll get married.”
Lu Zhuxin was the Fox Monarch of the fox clan. Qu Qingtang was a Venerable Saint of the sword sect.
Both had extremely distinguished statuses.
If the two of them married, it would inevitably be a major event that shocked the world and astonished the cultivation realm.
Lu Zhuxin immediately notified Hu Xian’er of this matter.
Qu Qingtang felt she would never forget the incredibly comical expression on Hu Xian’er’s face when she learned of this.
Shock, astonishment, as if the sky had fallen.
That expression made Qu Qingtang laugh every time she recalled it.
Of course, Lu Zhuxin had held power in the fox clan for many years.
After the initial shock, she had no choice but to accept this reality.
The Fox Monarch’s marriage was naturally no small matter.
Moreover, the person the Fox Monarch was marrying was the Qingzhi Immortal Venerable of the sword sect.
After accepting reality, Hu Xian’er began planning how to maximize the influence of this event.
She needed to organize the most magnificent wedding in the history of the Demon Realm!
With the fox clan’s financial resources in the Demon Realm, she had the confidence to accomplish this.
Of course, the reaction from the sword sect side was no less dramatic.
When Qu Qingtang informed Lingxiao Sword Sect’s Sect Master Jiang Hongliang of this matter, his old face showed an expression like he’d eaten excrement.
Qu Qingtang didn’t care what he thought. She was only notifying, never intending to discuss.
Thus, this wedding was naturally settled under such authority.
The fox clan widely distributed invitations, sincerely inviting hundreds of clans, determined to use this most magnificent wedding in Demon Realm history to display the fox clan’s wealth and authority.
In an instant, the entire world shook with the news.
Until the wedding day, thousands of miles of people gathered.
Countless guests rushed from all directions, gathering at Mingzhao City to jointly witness this once-in-a-millennium magnificent wedding.
In this world, countless powerhouses and rulers also sent blessings and gifts to this pair of newlyweds.
The several sect masters from the seven righteous sword sects all wore sour faces when arriving at Mingzhao City, especially Jiang Hongliang and Liu Funing, whose resentment was written all over their faces.
Only Huang Xifeng still wore a smile.
Of course, personal displeasure was one thing. No matter what, Qu Qingtang was still a Venerable Saint of the sword sect.
Out of propriety, each sword sect still presented their sect treasures to Qu Qingtang.
Besides this, various righteous sects from the human race also successively sent blessings and gifts.
The various tribes of the Demon Realm were no exception.
However, most Demon Realm tribes weren’t very wealthy. The things they sent, compared to what the human sects sent, appeared rather shabby.
Seeing this situation, guests from the human sects had smug expressions, their lips curling high.
As if they had thoroughly outshone all the Demon Realm tribes.
They had never gained such an obvious advantage in direct confrontation with the demon race.
At the wedding, the Lord of the Demon Realm, the Nether Abyss Demon Venerable, also sent the pair a precious gift, a supreme demon sword from ancient times.
When the demon sword appeared, heaven and earth changed color, astonishing everyone.
The human side naturally wasn’t to be outdone. The Human Empress, also a Venerable Saint, sent an ancient Heaven-Monitoring Imperial Seal, no less impressive than the Demon Venerable’s sword.
The Buddha Venerable of the Buddha Kingdom sent a Buddha relic.
The Supreme Divine Kun from the deep eastern seas sent the supreme remains fallen into the deep sea.
Even the Blood Clan True Lord and Sacred Archangel from the distant western kingdoms also sent supreme-level gifts.
This incomparably magnificent wedding lasted for several months.
After the wedding ended, the nine-tailed Fox Monarch announced the closing of Fox Palace, transferring the fox clan’s great authority to Snow Fox Princess Hu Xian’er.
From then on, the nine-tailed Fox Monarch accompanied Immortal Venerable Qu Qingtang, beginning their honeymoon journey touring the world.
Rеαԁ οո КαtRеαԁіոgСаfе
The first month, they slowly traversed the thousand-mile Demon Realm boundary, appreciating the battlefield ruins left from the thousand-year war between demons and humans.
The second month, they came to human heartland, touring and viewing the most prosperous and flourishing towns of the human kingdoms.
They stayed here for several months, enjoying the local customs, then traveled south.
Roaming through southern scenery, traversing the Jiangnan waterscapes, finally turning to head north.
The sixth month.
The shallow marking Qu Qingtang left became ineffective. The little fox’s heat period erupted.
After their intimate union, Qu Qingtang planted a deep mark on the little fox.
That same month, the little fox confirmed the formation of a spirit fetus.
The tenth month.
The two arrived at Lingxiao Sword Sect’s mountain gate in the north.
The little fox’s belly showed.
Qu Qingtang purchased several residences at the foot of Lingxiao Sword Sect’s mountain and settled there.
A year and a half after their marriage.
The little fox gave birth to a daughter.
A child born from a fox demon and sword cultivator would have the fox demon bloodline suppressed by human bloodline, so the newborn infant was no different from an ordinary human infant.
Only after reaching adulthood would the fox demon bloodline gradually manifest.
Qu Qingtang loved this child very much, carrying her around everywhere, and named her “Zhen.”
“Zhen” as in “true feelings and genuine affection.”
“Qu Zhenzhen.”
The little fox thought this name was strange, but Qu Qingtang loved it.
The little fox thought Qu Qingtang probably had no talent for naming.
Two years later, the little fox gave birth to a second daughter.
The second daughter was very well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing.
The little fox felt she was very much like herself, so she named her “Tian.”
Qu Qingtang didn’t understand. “Why Tian? Is it Tian as in Heavenly Dao?”
The little fox pouted. “It’s Tian as in innocent!”
“So it’s ‘Qu Tiantian’!”
Qu Qingtang felt her beloved wife probably also had no talent for naming, just like herself.
What right did she have to criticize the eldest daughter’s name?!
The sixth year.
The little fox gave birth to twins.
Looking at the two little daughters held in the little fox’s arms, Qu Qingtang was stumped again.
After much debate, they decided to use drawing lots to determine the two little daughters’ names.
The little fox and Qu Qingtang each drew one.
Qu Qingtang drew “Ming,” the little fox drew “Lan.”
“Qu Mingming and Qu Lanlan.”
Hu Xian’er, who finally found time to visit, couldn’t help but roll her eyes several times when hearing these names.
This couple’s naming for their children was so casual it was impressive!
Facts proved that four children was really a bit much.
The little fox couldn’t manage them all. Helplessly, she called for Hu Mei’er, having her serve as the children’s wet nurse. Only then did the little fox feel somewhat relieved.
The tenth year after their marriage.
The little fox and Qu Qingtang encountered an unexpected person at the foot of Lingxiao Sword Sect’s mountain.
The former genius disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect… Song Shiyuan.
However, the current Song Shiyuan no longer possessed her former brilliance. She was dressed as a married woman, her cultivation gone, her face full of the vicissitudes left by the years, with a five or six-year-old child by her side.
The little fox held the twin daughters in her arms, staring at Song Shiyuan’s retreating figure for a long time.
Until she disappeared from view.
Finally, the little fox only let out a long sigh.
Qu Qingtang caringly rubbed the little fox’s silky hair, comforting her. “You can’t blame yourself for this. When she made that choice back then, it was already destined that she and we would be strangers.”
“Mm.” The little fox nodded. “I just feel somewhat regretful. With her talent, it shouldn’t have been like this.”
“This is heaven’s will,” Qu Qingtang’s eyes darkened. “Fated destiny, impossible to defy.”
“Heaven’s will?” The little fox gazed at the sky and murmured, “Is there really such a thing as heavenly fate?”
“Who set all of this in motion? Who wrote down this fate that shouldn’t have belonged to her?”
The little fox seemed to be asking, yet also seemed to be murmuring to herself.
Qu Qingtang watched the little fox walk home holding the two children, getting farther and farther away.
Her eyes flickered slightly. The conversation just now reminded her of some things she had temporarily set aside.
She raised her head slightly and called out in her heart.
“System.”
No response.
Qu Qingtang frowned slightly.
Could it be that after not seeing it for ten years, the System had completely crashed?
That shouldn’t be possible, right? Perhaps she hadn’t called loudly enough?
Qu Qingtang swept her divine consciousness around and found no one nearby. The little fox had also already taken the children home.
She called out softly again.
“System… System, please respond if you can hear me.”
‘Here meow! Here meow! System is here meow!’
“Meow?” Qu Qingtang was somewhat puzzled.
What was wrong with this System?
When did it gain this inexplicable verbal tic?
‘Meow? What’s wrong meow?’
Qu Qingtang said, “I’m just a bit curious. After you said you needed to upgrade the system module last time, you disappeared. Why did you suddenly gain this inexplicable verbal tic after ten years?”
‘Oh… Ah! Host is referring to this meow!’
‘It’s like this. This is a special language module newly released by the main god of System. It allows the System to define some cute verbal tics to make the System more approachable meow!’
Qu Qingtang was speechless. “You were just upgrading a favorability detection module. How did you arbitrarily add such inexplicable and useless functions?”
‘Alright meow, since Host doesn’t like it, then I won’t use it.’
“This is more normal.” Qu Qingtang said, “Since you’ve finished upgrading, you should be able to detect that divine lord’s accurate favorability now, right?”
“Hehe, let me see if it’s still unchanged?”
‘Favorability detection module??’
Rеaⅾ οn КαtRеаԁiոɡCαfе
‘Oh! Right! The favorability detection module!’
‘That has indeed finished upgrading!’
‘Let me see, the target person’s favorability changes!’
Qu Qingtang crossed her arms and waited slowly. For some reason, she felt this System seemed much stupider after not seeing it for ten years.
Was this an aftereffect of upgrading?
Qu Qingtang wasn’t sure.
‘Beep! Detection results are out!’
‘Target person Lu Zhuxin’s favorability toward Host is: Loving without moving, devoted until death!’
‘Congratulations Host on successfully capturing Lu Zhuxin’s heart!’
‘Congratulations, congratulations!’
Qu Qingtang frowned. “Wasn’t it directly displayed as numerical values before?”
“Why doesn’t it show numerical values after upgrading?”
“Is your upgrade really reliable?”
‘Reliable, absolutely reliable!’
‘The original numerical marking wasn’t reliable enough, which is why it was adjusted to text description after upgrading!’
“I see.” Qu Qingtang didn’t care about this. She was just asking casually.
After spending ten years with the little fox.
Could she not tell whether the conquest had succeeded?
‘In any case, the target person’s conquest has basically been completed.’
‘Already completed, huh.’
Thinking of this, Qu Qingtang inexplicably felt somewhat melancholy.
These ten years had passed in a flash.
But it must be said that these ten years felt more real than the past several thousand years.
This had been a very happy time.
Qu Qingtang really loved the time she spent with the little fox.
Warm and sweet.
She had even several times wanted to continue indulging in such days.
But no, the more perfect such days were, the more false they were.
Qu Qingtang shouldn’t forget, nor should she abandon her original purpose.
Thinking of this, Qu Qingtang took a deep breath. When she raised her eyes again, they had once more become cold.
“System, the conquest has been completed… It’s time to proceed to the final stage.”
“Time to bid farewell to that divine lord.”
‘Yes, the conquest has been completed. We should indeed proceed to the final stage.’
‘However, before this, the System has one last personal question to ask Host.’
“What question?” Qu Qingtang asked.
‘Host, are you certain you want to do that?’
‘What does Lu Zhuxin mean to you?’
‘After ten years of being together day and night, hasn’t she left even the slightest thing in your heart?’
Hearing this, Qu Qingtang was silent for a long time.
She hadn’t expected the System would ask such a question.
The emotions she had just suppressed suddenly surged up again, unable to settle for a long time.
Yes.
Together day and night for ten years, being loving wives for ten years, how could she feel nothing at all?
“I love her,” Qu Qingtang said.
“As something created by a divine being, naturally I would hold admiration and love for the divine.”
“Moreover, she was my wife for ten years. Of course I love her very much.”
Qu Qingtang raised her hand to cover her chest. “This love is so strong and genuine.”
“Just thinking of her, thinking of her smile, makes my heart flutter.”
‘Then you still plan to part with her forever?’
“Precisely because I love her so much, I must completely sever this ethereal and illusory love.”
“The divine lord dwells beyond the high heavens. She is a reality I can never reach.”
“So… this is why I’m here, executing the final arrangement, realizing our ultimate purpose.”
“Isn’t that right, God-Toppling System?”
‘…’
The System was silent for a while.
‘I understand.’
‘The final stage can be executed at any time.’
‘However, to begin executing the final stage, we need to confirm Host’s final intent.’
“Confirm the final intent?”
‘Yes.’
‘Please have Host state our ultimate purpose and say to the System “I [name], confirm execution.”‘
“So that’s how it is.”
Qu Qingtang didn’t care. She opened her mouth to speak.
“Our ultimate purpose is…”
[Bzzt… Qu…!]
[Bzzt… Don’t…!!]
[Bzzt… Don’t answer…!!!]
Suddenly, static noise came from her mind, then was abruptly cut off.
Qu Qingtang’s opened mouth froze. She interrupted the words she was about to say.
Something’s wrong!
Something felt wrong!
Something had gone wrong!
And at this moment, the System’s voice came again.
‘What’s wrong? Is this question difficult to answer?’
‘Host, you just need to state our ultimate purpose, then use your true name to confirm.’
‘It’s very simple, right?’
