When Mo Xing returned to Super God Academy, Qi Lin ran over excitedly.
"A Xing, you're back~"
Seeing the smile on Qi Lin's face, Mo Xing tucked away his miserable side and forced a smile.
However, how could Qi Lin, his girlfriend, possibly fail to see through Mo Xing's forced cheerfulness?
Seeing him like this, Qi Lin felt nothing but confusion and heartache.
In the two years they had spent together, this was the first time she had seen such an expression on Mo Xing's face.
Thus, Qi Lin put away her smile as well and asked softly, "A Xing, what's wrong?"
Mo Xing shook his head without saying anything.
He felt there was no need to pass his negative emotions on to Qi Lin.
People often said that two people in love should share both joy and sorrow.
But how many people could truly do that?
After all, no man liked passing his sadness and negative emotions on to the woman he loved.
Likewise, it was not only men who made such choices. Women often did the same.
So that was not selfish, was it...
Just as Mo Xing was about to leave and deal with the negative emotions from today by himself, Qi Lin suddenly threw herself into his arms.
"Though I don't know why you're sad or troubled, as your girlfriend, your lover, and the person who will spend the rest of her life with you in the future, I think I should have the right to know..."
At those words, Mo Xing's expression twisted slightly.
He knew Qi Lin's personality. If he did not make things clear today, the consequences would be even worse than sharing his negative emotions with her.
"Ah~"
Mo Xing let out a long sigh. "I don't know whether it's right to tell you about this, but since you want to know, I'll tell you what happened to me today..."
Hearing that, Qi Lin smiled happily. "That's more like it. You can tell me anything. There's no need to keep it bottled up, right?"
Mo Xing nodded and began recounting everything that had happened...
After listening to Mo Xing's account, the heartache on Qi Lin's face became even more apparent.
Holding Mo Xing tightly, Qi Lin said gently, "Actually, you don't need to dwell on this matter..."
Qi Lin was not the only one who knew that Mo Xing had a weak sense of belonging in this world. Even He Wei Lan had noticed it.
However, Qi Lin had never expected Mo Xing to be this torn up over a single police officer.
Indeed, as Mo Xing had said, if he had acted, that officer might have survived. But with Earth's situation so dire now, who could guarantee that he would not sacrifice himself in the future?
Besides, people were selfish!
Knowing full well that Mo Xing was no match for the Demon Queen, Qi Lin still did not want him to act.
After all, Angel Yan and the others had powerful backers, but Mo Xing did not!
If Mo Xing acted, his life would become a complete mess in the future!
"A Xing, this isn't your fault..."
"I know, but..."
Qi Lin reached out and stroked Mo Xing's cheek, comforting him softly. "Even if you had acted, could you really have guaranteed that he would survive?"
Mo Xing shook his head.
"I don't know, but there should have been an eighty percent chance."
"Then what would the consequences have been?"
"The consequences..."
Mo Xing thought for a moment, then gave a helpless bitter smile. "I might have died, or Morgana might have latched onto me."
"Exactly..."
Qi Lin sighed softly. "From the country's perspective, you really should have acted. But from my own perspective, you did nothing wrong..."
Qi Lin was not a foolish woman. On the contrary, she was very smart and rational.
"Suppose, just suppose, you hadn't gone to warn the angels. What would the consequences have been then?"
Mo Xing froze for a moment, his expression turning serious. "No one in Huang Village would have survived! They would have lost their right to live as human beings!"
"So, you already did something about this, and you did very well!"
"Indeed, that police officer's actions were admirable, but it wasn't as though you did nothing."
Hearing this, the stifling resentment in Mo Xing's heart finally dissipated.
He gently pulled Qi Lin into his arms and kissed her alluring red lips.
After a lingering kiss, Mo Xing looked at Qi Lin's seductive eyes and lightly scraped the bridge of her delicate nose.
"Who would've thought there'd be a day when you'd be the one comforting me~"
Seeing the familiar smile on Mo Xing's face, Qi Lin's mood immediately brightened as well.
After the two spent some more tender time together, it was time to rest.
Of course, as her boyfriend, Mo Xing still escorted Qi Lin to the bottom of her dormitory building.
After saying goodbye to Mo Xing, Qi Lin turned around, a trace of ruthlessness appearing in her eyes...
One morning, a phone began ringing inside a villa perched atop a mountain.
Yet lying on the bed was actually a monkey!
That's right, Wu Kong!
After picking up the call, Wu Kong glanced at the caller ID and said, "Lao Du, what mission is it this time?"
Du Kao's voice came from the other end of the line. "Wu Kong, this mission..."
"Alright, alright..."
Before he could finish, Wu Kong cut him off.
Wu Kong said irritably, "Just send me the mission briefing."
"Aren't you all using high-tech stuff now?"
"Wu Kong, I won't say much else. Earth needs you!"
"Heh, Earth needs me? I've heard that line more times than I can count!"
Hearing that, Du Kao was somewhat displeased.
"Wu Kong, tell me, over these past thousand years or so, how have I treated you? How have I treated Earth?"
Wu Kong swayed as he took a sip of beer. "Want the truth?"
"The truth, say whatever you want!"
Wu Kong smiled. "Heh, my standards aren't very scientific. You're either an ordinary alien, or some demon or monster!"
"As for you, Lao Du~ An ordinary alien! You've contributed a lot for our Earth. I acknowledge it, I acknowledge it~"
"Heh, what a smooth talker."
Du Kao laughed. "Thank you very much for your approval, Wu Kong. Alright, I've sent you the mission briefing. You need to hurry~"
Super God Academy...
Emperor Reina looked at Qi Lin and asked in confusion, "Say, Qi Lin, what's gotten into you lately? Why are you training so desperately?"
"If you and Mo Xing weren't still the same as always, I'd have thought you two had broken up~"
Qi Lin shot Emperor Reina an annoyed glare. "What are you talking about? A Xing and I are doing great. How could we possibly break up!"
"Come on, I was only joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Then Emperor Reina leaned close to Qi Lin's ear and whispered, "How far has your relationship with Mo Xing progressed?"
"Have you... done that~"
Looking at Emperor Reina's teasing face, Qi Lin suddenly recalled their lingering kiss not long ago, and her face immediately flushed crimson.
The moment Emperor Reina saw that, her eyes widened. "Ah~ Mmph..."
