I Have a Wife

Hearing Miss Qi Lin say that, Ximen Lang covered his chest in anguish.

"You've really broken my heart."

Miss Qi Lin rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Actually, to say that Miss Qi Lin hadn't felt the slightest stir of attraction toward Ximen Lang would definitely be a lie.

After all, Hero Saves Beauty was still devastatingly effective against beautiful women.

The reason she refused was, first, that things had moved too quickly, and second, that Ximen Lang was too unreliable! He was practically an idiot!

The moment she developed a little goodwill toward him, this guy had already squandered most of it.

And then he had said, "It's not completely impossible." The guy was seriously sick! The moment he opened his mouth, he sounded like an old philanderer! There was no way Qi Lin would agree.

Ximen Lang lowered his head and sighed dejectedly.

"Think it over carefully. I'm telling you, once you miss this village, you won't find another shop like it."

"No need to think it over. I can tell you right now—you're imagining things."

"Ah, you're really heartless. Forget it, I'm going back to keep my wife company. You two can talk."

"Wife?!" Qi Lin was stunned.

"That's right, I have a wife. Her name is Leng. If you change your mind later, she'll be the First Wife."

"Go to hell! You scumbag!"

Qi Lin viciously kicked Ximen Lang in the shin.

Bastard! You already have a wife, yet you still came to flirt with me! And First Wife, too—why don't you just go die! Ximen Lang merely shifted his body slightly and dodged the kick. But Qi Lin had put too much force into it. Her foot landed in empty air, throwing her entire body off balance.

Unable to bear watching her fall, Ximen Lang hurriedly pulled her into his arms.

"Be careful. Luckily I was here. Otherwise, with that fall, you'd definitely have ended up in the hospital."

"You scumbag! I don't need your fake concern. Let go!"

She refused to appreciate it, so Ximen Lang had no choice but to release her.

Actually, all that nonsense Ximen Lang had just spouted was meant to bring up the fact that he had a wife.

He wanted a harem. That went without saying—he dreamed of it.

But he didn't want to deceive anyone. Even if he succeeded in building a harem that way, it would be meaningless.

If it caused chaos at home later, he would be the one to suffer.

As for Miss Qi Lin, it would of course be wonderful if she agreed. If she didn't, then she didn't. There was nothing he could do about it.

As for giving up Leng and getting together with Miss Qi Lin? That had never even entered Ximen Lang's mind. He knew better than anyone how good Leng had been to him.

He wasn't heartless, and he genuinely liked Leng.

Especially after seeing how much Leng had changed during this period, he had fallen even more deeply in love with her.

Giving up a woman like that to pursue someone else? He would have to be out of his mind.

"Then I'm really leaving. If you change your mind, come find me at the Angelic Villa. I live there."

"Get lost!!!"

Meanwhile, Du Qiangwei, who had patiently endured the interaction between the two of them, had finally seen it come to an end.

She was already very displeased with this newly appeared Power of the Galaxy, Ximen Lang.

After personally witnessing his conversation with Miss Qi Lin, that displeasure had directly turned into contempt.

In truth, if not for Du Kao's order not to provoke Ximen Lang, she would have liked to teach this guy a proper lesson.

She wasn't unaware of Du Kao and Lian Feng's warnings.

A god? The same as that Silly Goddess? This was it? This was it? That god wasn't anything special.

So she spoke, her tone extremely cold.

"Hey, you're just leaving like this?"

"What else would I do?"

Ximen Lang's casual attitude made Du Qiangwei even more dissatisfied.

"Where did your Power of the Galaxy Super Gene come from?"

Ximen Lang grinned, his gaze turning cold.

"Are you... questioning me?"

"You can take it that way! Things from Super God Academy aren't so easy to take!"

"Hahaha!" Ximen Lang laughed, his smile full of mockery.

Then his expression turned stern.

"Do you know the consequences of saying that?"

Du Qiangwei looked eager to try.

"I know. Isn't it just provoking a so-called god? So what?"

Actually, Du Qiangwei hadn't wanted to make the atmosphere this tense either. But the words had led them to this point, so she no longer cared.

Besides, once they captured him alive, they would naturally have plenty of opportunities to make him fight for Earth.

After saying that, Ximen Lang pulled out the Void Engine Greatsword and Dark Alloy Armor. He didn't put them on, simply setting them aside.

"Come on! The things are right here! And there's also the Super Gene in my body! I'll give you a chance—take them back!"

At that moment, A Jie arrived in a hurry with Reina.

"Qiangwei! Stop!"

A Jie then jogged over to Ximen Lang.

"Mr. Ximen Lang, please calm down. Qiangwei didn't mean it that way."

Ximen Lang shot a Golden Light in front of him, preventing him from coming closer.

"It doesn't matter. None of it matters anymore. More importantly, she has completely provoked me!"

Then he looked toward Reina.

"I'm going to teach her a lesson now. Are you going to stop me?"

Reina turned around and glanced at the indignant Du Qiangwei, then shrugged.

"I won't. A god's wrath needs blood to appease it. I only hope that, for Earth's sake, you'll spare her life and leave her with the strength to protect Earth."

Hearing that, Ximen Lang shook his head.

"A god? I'm just an ordinary person with extraordinary power. Don't worry, I won't kill her. Just as you said, Earth still needs her."

A Jie was about to say something, but Reina interrupted him.

"A Jie, although you're just an ordinary person now, your memories haven't been lost. Given the current situation, you understand it, don't you?"

A Jie sighed and ultimately chose to let it go.

Although Qiangwei hadn't explicitly said what she wanted to do to Ximen Lang, directly questioning someone about his Super Gene was already enough to make them mortal enemies! And there was no point in arguing that the Power of the Galaxy Super Gene belonged to Super God Academy. Ximen Lang was stronger than Super God Academy now.

Strength was truth! After taking another look at Du Qiangwei, who still didn't take him seriously, Ximen Lang was genuinely amused by her ignorance.

He really had no idea how her mind worked. Just because of Reina alone, she had gone from looking down on people her own age to looking down on a god?

Reina had merely been playing house with her, yet she had actually believed that Reina's strength was only at the level of playing house.

It seemed he had to teach her a lesson—and make sure it was a profound one!

"You're not going to put on your armor?"

"Don't worry. Against a mere second-generation Super Soldier, I don't need something like armor. I won't even use the Power of the Galaxy Super Gene."

"Are you insulting me?"

"That's right. I am insulting you!"

Clink, clink, clink.

Qiangwei made her move. A series of flying knives shot toward Ximen Lang, but he was too lazy even to block them.

He simply stood there and let the flying knives strike his body.

After the round of attacks ended, Ximen Lang said mockingly, "That's it? Are you playing house with me? If you have any other tricks, use them all, so you won't say I bullied you."

A teeth-grating sound rang out. Ximen Lang directly ground one of the flying knives into a metal sphere with his hand.

Only then did Du Qiangwei finally understand how serious the situation was...
