Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Those few drops of life force were all snatched from the underground city of XX with his life. Because of this, he had been hunted down by various sects and factions, so he had no choice but to ditch this headache. After a few twists and turns, it finally returned to his hands in a thrilling manner. He had hidden it as if it was a priceless treasure. He had never thought that this woman would actually target his life force.

“Can’t bear to part with it? I want two drops of your life force right now.”

Dongfang Liuyun swallowed the food in her mouth and furrowed her brows.

“Nope, leave just one drop for me then. I feel like I’ve reached a bottleneck recently, so I want to hustle a little.”

“What a waste of a heavenly treasure. Even if to break through your bottleneck, you don’t have to waste such a good thing. I’ll get you a Bodhi heart later. The effect will be even better.”

Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment before saying.

“You have that thing?”

Qi Lei was a little surprised.

“I don’t have it, but I know who does.”

As Dongfang Liuyun said this, the corners of her mouth curled up into an unfathomable smile.

“Who?”

Qi Lei muttered and then a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. He immediately understood what Dongfang Liuyun meant—

“You mean to just snatch it from that person?”

“You’re not too dumb. Alright, you should have food and wash up before you go sleep. I’ll go online and get it for you after dinner. I’m the only one who can do such a thing.”

Dongfang Liuyun shrugged nonchalantly.

“How despicable! But that person is...”

“I’m the one who’s snatching it from him. It’s me who want to exchange the Bodhi Heart for the life force with you, it’s a very simple exchange, what are you nervous about? You’re only making the exchange with me because of your relationship with me, can’t you differentiate between priorities now?” Dongfang Liuyun asked disapprovingly.

Hearing this, Qi Lei coughed lightly and said in a low voice, “You know that’s not what I meant. No matter what, I should be the one to snatch such a thing, and not...”

“I have no intention of sticking up for you. I’m only doing this for myself. I, Swift Snowy has always been one who holds my own. I don’t like to owe others either. I can’t let you suffer too much of a loss. Alright, don’t overthink it. I’ll get it for you later. If you’re really touched, bring me two gifts when you come back. Let’s be clear in advance, I won’t accept things that are mediocre or not valuable.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she stuffed another mouthful of food into her mouth. Her tone was a little unclear. “Did you bring that book with you?”

“Yes, it’s good to pass the time. Do you still have the Genesis section?”

He was talking about the Bible that Dongfang Liuyun had given him previously, but it was only the New Testament section. There was also the Genesis section that Dongfang Liuyun had not given him.

“Not everyone is fated to read this book. At the very least, I picked it up and put it down several times before I was able to really read it later on. If you can understand it, it means that you are fated to read it. You don’t have to have a deep understanding of it. Just treat it as a pastime.”

“I think it’s pretty good.”

“As you wish. The Old Testament is placed on the second shelf in the study. It’s on the left side of the third floor. You can look for it yourself when you get back.”

“Mmm, it’s getting late. Rest early. I’ll try to go home sooner. You’re not allowed to reject what I had asked Wang Chun to do for you, that’s that.”

His tone was filled with an irresistible determination. It made Dongfang Liuyun shrug her shoulders helplessly. “As you wish.”

Later on, the couple finally hung up the phone.

After hanging up, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

Outside the corridor of the hotel suite, Qi Lei was still holding a glass of wine and drinking it carelessly.

He put the phone in his hand aside and looked down at the big city from above. He watched the mesmerizing lights and at this moment, he felt especially clear-headed, and he wanted to return to City Z.

In the past, he did not have any so-called desires to go or return to any place. He always felt that as long as there was a quiet place for him to rest, he would not have any other pursuits. But now...

...

The night continued. Tonight the moon was not as bright as a few nights ago. Instead, it was full of stars. The next day would be a clear day.

In the backyard of Dongfang Gan’s villa in Tanshan Villa District, Dongfang Gan and Lan Xiu lay side by side on the rattan chair and looked at the quiet starry sky in front of them.

“You don’t have to think too much. Even if that’s the case, you’ll always be a good son to me. Now that Liuyun has made such a choice, I can’t change her decision. Although I feel a little regretful, Qi Lei seems like a good person. As a father, I can only wish them well.”

Dongfang Gan put down the cup in his hand and sighed.

“I know you’ve waited for her for many years. To be honest, sometimes, I’m touched by your intentions. Actually, it’s not that Liuyun doesn’t know of your feelings. It’s just that she... sigh, it’s quite a pity. I’ve always looked forward to having you as my son-in-law. To me, you are indeed more satisfactory than anyone else, I’d be happy to accept you as my son-in-law. However, my opinion can not represent Liuyun. You know how she is.”

Dongfang Gan’s tone was filled with helplessness. He looked at Lan Xiu with a pained expression—

In reality, he was still in shock and disbelief at his daughter’s sudden choice. He had always thought that his daughter’s choice would be between Fujiwara or Lan Xiu, who would have thought that Qi Lei would suddenly appear out of nowhere and marry his daughter!

“Uncle Dongfang, there’s no need to say this. Liuyun’s choice has nothing to do with you. I understand that you love her. It’s just that I’m not good enough and couldn’t get her. But this won’t affect us, no matter what happens, I’ll protect her. To me, she’s always been the only family member that I, Lan Xiu, need to protect. That will never change.”

A smile appeared on Lan Xiu’s elegant face. However, Dongfang Gan could clearly see a hint of loneliness and desolate in that smile.

“It’s still early in the night. Uncle Dongfang, why don’t we play a game of chess? It’s been a long time since we played chess.”

Lan Xiu took a deep breath. Without waiting for Dongfang Gan to reply, he had already beckoned Ah Li on the side. Ah Li quickly took the chess board from the table.

Dongfang Gan gave him a long look before nodding. Seeing that Lan Xiu had picked up a white piece, he picked up a black piece at a leisurely pace—

“Ah Xiu, you have to know that sometimes in life, it’s like playing a game of chess. You have to think carefully about which step to take. Once you’ve made a decision, don’t hesitate too much, or else...”
