Chapter 338 Even Coldness Will Compromise!
Chapter 338 Even Coldness Will Compromise!
"you……"
Leng wasn't angry because of his bad attitude.
On the contrary, all she felt at that moment was panic.
Because she understood that as long as Qilin didn't agree, there was no way he could have a future with her.
She understood even more clearly that he wouldn't break up with Qilin for her sake.
He might even distance himself from Qilin in an attempt to win her back.
At that point, she won't even have a chance to enter his house, let alone become the woman behind him!
So Leng is completely disoriented right now.
She seems to have no future...
"Xingchen, can you wait until Qilin calms down before you talk to her? Don't tell me you're planning to abandon me for Qilin..."
As she spoke, Leng stepped forward and grabbed Mu Xingchen's wrist.
Add to that her pleading expression and gentle, meek voice.
She was completely different from before!
Needless to say, Mu Xingchen never expected that this world-weary face had such a side!
He simply couldn't believe his eyes!
He originally thought she would continue to blackmail him with that video, or that she would take him down with her.
But now this world-weary face is so humble, begging him.
This was absolutely astonishing!
"Xingchen? What's wrong? You're not really planning to abandon me, are you?"
Seeing that he was staring at her with wide eyes without saying a word, Leng shook his arm a few times.
Although she knew that her humble attitude would only make him more smug.
But she couldn't care less about that now.
She dared not provoke him at this moment.
Otherwise, he really could have abandoned Qi Lin for her sake.
As for sending videos to Lena and the others to die together with him, that's even more impossible.
She used the video to blackmail him in order to make him work for her.
So that she could get into his house sooner.
I didn't really want to die with him.
He was the future she had chosen.
How could she possibly ruin him?
She's not that vicious.
"You... why do I suddenly feel like I don't recognize you? Are you really an angel?"
Mu Xingchen snapped out of her daze when she shook his arm like that.
But there was still some disbelief in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Leng wasn't stupid; she understood the implication in his words.
So she looked slightly displeased and withdrew her hand from his wrist.
"It doesn't mean anything, it's just that you seem a bit unlike yourself."
Without a doubt, Mu Xingchen is now feeling proud and delighted.
He was prepared for her to die with him.
As a result, she suddenly humbled herself and begged him.
This was such a wonderful surprise for him!
Now he doesn't have to worry about ruining his reputation.
Are you trying to say that I used to be arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable?
He narrowed his eyes, his face filled with obvious displeasure.
"You were always like that, weren't you?"
Mu Xingchen responded in a matter-of-fact tone.
"..."
Being "slandered" like that by him must have made Leng Xin feel very unhappy.
But she didn't react; she just glared at him with a displeased look.
"To be honest with you, after seeing Qi Lin's tough attitude yesterday, I was prepared for you to spread the video everywhere and ruin me. I plan to apply to Chief Lian Feng for a transfer away from Beizhixing, away from Xiao Lun and Lena, so that they won't gossip about me to my face."
Mu Xingchen didn't care about being glared at by that world-weary face.
He told Leng directly about his plans for the future.
He felt that since she had lowered her stance so much today, she definitely wouldn't want to die with him.
So it's okay to say it.
Seeing that he had already prepared a plan to deal with her, Leng decisively cursed him in her heart!
However, she certainly wouldn't dare to show it out loud.
I could only feign surprise and ask.
"Are you really planning to apply for a transfer?"
Whether I get transferred or not is up to you.
Mu Xingchen passed the question to Leng.
Even though he had already guessed what she was thinking, he still wanted to hear her say it with his own ears.
"I was just kidding you, I wouldn't really do it. Do you really think I'm that kind of vicious woman?"
After saying that, Leng turned her head away with a hint of disappointment to look at the ground on her left.
She looked like a wronged young wife.
"You...tsk, how was I supposed to know you were just bluffing? I thought you were serious."
What Mu Xingchen actually wanted to say was, "You are inherently vicious."
But then he thought again and decided he didn't want to say anything too harsh.
He quickly changed his tune.
"Alright, alright, let's just let this go. Don't worry about it anymore, I won't do anything to harm you."
Leng formally made a guarantee to him.
After all, threatening him with the video was just a way for her to force him to comply.
This is not the outcome she wanted.
"..."
Hearing her say that, Mu Xingchen suddenly felt a little lost.
He was feeling conflicted at that moment.
Because if she didn't intend to ruin his reputation.
He seemed to have no other reason to distance himself from her.
We can't just abandon her like that, can we?
That would be too unfair to her.
No matter what, she was just a girl who wanted to pursue love.
She wasn't wrong.
She shouldn't have been let down by him like this.
He used to think she would die with him or even fight him to the death.
That's why he felt it was okay to let her down, since she wasn't a good person.
But it's different now.
She had made everything clear to him, and if he still abandoned her and let her down...
That would be a bit too inhumane.
But what about Qi Lin if he doesn't sever ties with her?
First, Qi Lin would definitely not agree to let her into the house, and second, what if his wife found out that he still had entanglements with her?
He'll be in deep trouble then!
This is truly a dilemma...
"Xingchen, don't stay silent! What are you planning to do next? Wait until Qilin calms down before trying to talk to her again? Or do you have other plans...?"
Seeing that he remained silent, Leng became a little anxious.
She was genuinely afraid he would say something that meant he didn't want her anymore.
Because she had indeed pushed him too hard before.
She knew he was definitely very dissatisfied with her, even disgusted.
So now she's really worried.
I was terrified of hearing something that would be a bolt from the blue.
"I don't know either. Anyway, this can only be done slowly. You can forget about it in the short term; Qilin won't agree."
Mu Xingchen did not say anything excessive.
After all, as long as she behaves well, he still can't bear to let her down (abandon) her.
No matter what, he and she had that kind of relationship.
Even if it was to replenish her energy, it still took away her virginity.
Moreover, he knew that she truly had feelings for him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have expressed her feelings to him when she was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Now he really can't bring himself to do something like faking it after getting back together with his partner.
Or rather, he genuinely wanted to experience what it felt like to have women on both sides.
"So how long are you planning to make me wait?"
Leng Ziran knew that she definitely had no chance in the short term.
Moreover, she had no intention of forcing him to break up with Qilin and be with her.
She knew he couldn't do that; she was self-aware enough to know that.
So now she can only place all her hopes on him.
"It's definitely over this year. I wouldn't dare to provoke Qi Lin at this time. You have no idea, I told Qi Lin about you yesterday, and she even tried to shoot you. If I hadn't been careful, she would have shot me first!"
Hearing her ask for the specific time again, Mu Xingchen felt a little unhappy.
However, he didn't show it; he just wanted to postpone the matter for another year or two.
Of course, he didn't really intend to keep her hanging on forever.
He will still make efforts for her when the time is right.
The main thing is that she is indeed quite good "sometimes".
"what……"
When Leng learned that Qilin wanted to shoot her, she felt even worse.
Because getting into his house was a very difficult and long-term goal for her.
"Don't worry, I won't keep dragging this on indefinitely. Since you're not planning to use that video to frame me, I certainly won't let you down. It just means you'll have to put up with some hardship in the short term."
Seeing her dejected look and listless appearance, Mu Xingchen had no choice but to make her a promise.
"You'd better keep your word, or I'll curse you to be childless and infertile every single day!"
Seeing him make that promise to her, Leng Xin was still somewhat happy.
But it may be a long time before that happens.
So Leng didn't say anything nice to him.
"Tsk, don't worry, as long as you're good to me, I'll definitely think about you too, and try my best not to keep you waiting too long."
When she heard her say she wanted to curse him to be childless and infertile, Mu Xingchen was speechless.
But at the same time, it was also a bit strange that Qi Lin hadn't made any move for so long.
Surely we can't really be cursed by this angel, Leng?
"Alright, that's the only way."
Seeing his assurance again, Leng didn't show any happiness.
Now she can only hope that he is a person with a conscience and a sense of responsibility.
"By the way, try to avoid Qilin lately, and don't get into any conflicts with her, especially when I'm with Qilin. And whatever you do, don't talk to me like you used to, or I'll be caught in the middle."
Mu Xingchen reminded Leng a few more times.
It's not that he doesn't care about her feelings.
However, everything has its priorities.
He really can't have any entanglement with her recently.
Otherwise, Qilin would definitely never let him off the hook.
"Okay, I understand."
Leng originally wanted to say, "Then it's difficult for me too."
However, she still refrained from arguing with him.
Because that would be pointless.
"Alright, alright, what's the big deal? Everyone's gone home now, nobody saw us. Let's go grab a bite to eat together."
Hearing her impatient tone, Mu Xingchen didn't want to be too harsh.
He then extended his hand to invite her to have lunch together.
He expressed his "sincerity" in this way.
Seeing him extend his hand to her, Leng finally smiled.
She slapped his hand hard and then said to him.
"That's more like it. Let me tell you, you'd better treat me better from now on, don't be such a jerk like before."
Leng was very happy to be able to hold his hand so openly and honestly.
In an instant, all those unpleasant things were forgotten.
"Wasn't it you who treated me badly first? You need to learn to put yourself in my shoes, you know?"
Seeing that she brought up the past again, Mu Xingchen couldn't help but complain.
After all, she was really selfish and didn't care about his feelings before!
"Hmph, I won't learn that."
As she spoke, Leng turned her face away arrogantly.
"emmm"
Seeing this world-weary face so smug, Mu Xingchen was too lazy to argue with her.
Because they don't have many days like today when they can live in harmony.
He wanted to cherish it too.
And so, the two walked hand in hand "slowly" toward the restaurant in the distance.
At first glance, they do seem to be a good match.
……
Inside the Worm Bridge tunnel leading from Fraser to the solar system, a small black shuttle is moving at high speed.
Sitting inside the shuttle was none other than the Demon Queen Morgana.
However, Morgana is not in a good mood right now, and her face is full of melancholy.
Needless to say, this was because she failed to win over Annie Xide.
Of course, what could be troubling her was not the failure to recruit soldiers.
She met Angel Yan at Aniseed's place!
Moreover, it was Yan who "wielded" the sacred treasure trove of knowledge! [The treasure trove of knowledge is like a low-end version of a large clock, not an armory.]
She could sense the changes in the other party from their dark dimension.
You could say she now has a formidable rival, so how could she possibly be in a good mood?
Bringing back only bad news from a long trip was enough to upset her.
However, at this moment, an untimely voice appeared in her mind (Dark Dimension).
'Hehehehehe~ Liang Bing, it wasn't easy to find you~ So I wanted to discuss with you the issue of future known civilization order.'
Without a doubt, this was Hua Ye forcibly entering Morgana's private channel.
Otherwise, such communication in the dark dimension should require the other party to agree to answer before communication can begin.
All I can say is that Huaye's black hole engine is amazing.
That's practically top-tier "hacking"!
"You won't find me. You're hiding deep in space playing with women, while our technology is tens of thousands of years ahead of yours!"
Morgana deliberately emphasized the words "tens of thousands of years".
Although she knew that Hua Ye had received Karl's assistance, she certainly wouldn't admit it openly.
[When Morgana was in Frieza, Karl contacted her and told her about providing Hua Ye with a Void Engine. He also mentioned wanting Morgana to be transformed into a phantom form along with him, but Morgana ridiculed him for it.]
'Hehehe~ You were right, but because of Karl, I suddenly feel invincible again.'
Hua Ye was dancing around wildly in his dark dimension; it was obvious he was getting carried away.
Because not long after he hacked Earth's galactic channel, he hacked into the Demon Queen's private channel.
He really can't help but drift away.
Who made his black hole engine so powerful?
We have to go crazy!
"Then at least you still have to be wary of Karl, right?"
Hearing the old rogue's confident tone, Morgana felt increasingly displeased.
'I hope we can talk in person~ How about we meet somewhere? Hehehe~'
Hua Ye had already imagined Liang Bing submitting to him, and couldn't help but lewdly laugh.
"Hehehehehe, you suddenly become invincible, and then you invite me out to some godforsaken corner to snipe me? Then there really is no one in this universe who can stop you, except, of course, Karl."
Morgana scoffed at Hua Ye's suggestion.
But this old rogue did give her a wake-up call.
She needs to bring "time and space" to life as soon as possible.
Her enemies can't keep getting stronger.
She just kept walking.
