Soon, Zhou Huan arrived at Zhang Lexuan's house.

He felt much more relaxed after unlocking the door with his key; thankfully, Zhang Lexuan hadn't locked it from the inside.

In other words, the girlfriend's anger level wasn't very high.

As Zhou Huan entered the living room, he immediately saw Zhang Lexuan engrossed in a novel, lost in thought.

With a beaming smile, Zhou Huan sat down next to Zhang Lexuan as usual, then gently put her arm around her waist and said smugly, "Sister Lexuan, don't you think your boyfriend is handsome today? Even the Beast God would be yours in no time."

Zhang Lexuan remained silent but did not resist, letting Zhou Huan hold her while she continued reading her novel, though she silently rolled her eyes inwardly.

You call that taking down the Beast God in a minute?

You clearly resorted to threats when you couldn't win, and even brought in Snow Empress as an intermediary to barely get Di Tian to withdraw his troops.

However, Zhang Lexuan also knew that Zhou Huan wasn't feeling good about himself; he was just trying to find a topic to talk about.

But this time she was genuinely angry, and it wouldn't be so easy to appease her.

He hadn't mentioned anything about the danger of going to the Lake of Life to her beforehand.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Zhou Huan, this guy was clearly just going along with Di Tian's plan.

Although she didn't know Zhou Huan's specific intentions, whether Zhou Huan went voluntarily or was forced to go was obvious to others, but Zhang Lexuan certainly could.

So, this guy had planned to go to the Lake of Life all along, and had been keeping it a secret from her.

If I don't give this boyfriend, who disregards his own safety, a hard time, what will he do in the future?

So this time, I won't bother with her for a whole day, no, half a day, no, even just half an hour. I'll absolutely ignore her.

Otherwise, do you really think the title "Senior Disciple Sister" is just for show?

Therefore, completely ignoring Zhou Huan's presence, Zhang Lexuan flipped through the novel in her hands page after page, and it was unclear how many words she actually absorbed.

Zhou Huan, watching from the side, thought to himself, "My girlfriend is so cute when she pretends to be angry!"

But Zhou Huan couldn't show such emotions on her face at this moment.

Seeing that Zhang Lexuan completely ignored her, Zhou Huan's smile faded, and she sighed with a look of utter despair, "Sister Lexuan, emotional abuse is unacceptable. Do you know how many families have ended up because of emotional abuse these days? The divorce rate is incredibly high."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan frowned. What on earth was this all about?

How is that considered passive-aggressive behavior? I just wanted to give you the cold shoulder for a bit, so you wouldn't be so unwilling to discuss anything with me.

And what about the divorce rate? Does anyone still calculate that?

The point is, we're not married, so how can we be getting a divorce?

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw! I, Zhang Lexuan, would never use the word "divorce," I would only be widowed.

Then she heard Zhou Huan continue rambling on, "So, when couples or spouses have conflicts, they must communicate properly and not keep quiet and ignore each other, because that's not good for anyone."

"So, here's the key point: how do we communicate? The first method is, of course, verbal communication. However, this kind of communication is sometimes too superficial, and most couples in the midst of conflict find it difficult to communicate in a gentle and soothing manner."

"At this point, we need to implement the second type of communication, which is..."

Zhou Huan suddenly stopped, her voice abruptly ceasing.

Zhang Lexuan, who was listening intently and had even forgotten to turn the page, suddenly noticed that Zhou Huan had stopped talking. So she instinctively turned her head to see what Zhou Huan was up to.

Then, the next second, their four lips touched.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes widened immediately. Just as she was about to push Zhou Huan away, she found herself being held tightly in a hug.

About half a minute later, Zhang Lexuan, blushing, broke free from Zhou Huan and glared at him fiercely. "You pervert."

Zhou Huan chuckled at this, "This is the second type of communication. I'm teaching for free now; I don't usually tell this to just anyone. Now that you've spoken, you can't be angry anymore."

Zhou Huan was perfectly clear-headed, never forgetting the wise saying: when couples are having a cold war, nothing can't be solved with a kiss; if it can't, then two kisses will do.

Of course, this is on the premise that you really have feelings for each other; otherwise, the hospital's Wi-Fi is actually quite useful.

As for Zhang Lexuan at this moment, she could only glare angrily at Zhou Huan, then sigh helplessly, "Do you know why I'm angry?"

At this point, admitting your mistake is essential.

Zhou Huan immediately replied, "Sister Lexuan, I was wrong. No matter why you're angry, it's all my fault. From now on, I'll definitely discuss things with you, especially important matters like safety, and I won't be perfunctory."

Zhang Lexuan: "..." Your speed in admitting your mistake is a bit ridiculous, and you admit it so smoothly, I just don't believe it.

However, Zhang Lexuan wasn't the type to hold a grudge, so she said, "This is the only time, and I won't be angry if you don't do it again."

Sigh, she had promised herself she would ignore him for half an hour, but only a little over half a minute had passed. Suddenly, Miss Zhang felt she had no willpower at all.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lexuan thought of Di Tian's matter and asked, "Why did you wait three days before going to the Lake of Life?"

She didn't believe Zhou Huan would wait three more days for no reason.

Zhou Huan sighed and said, "Let's wait for Huo Yuhao to come back."

Meanwhile, Huo Gua was on his way back to the Shrek Academy...

The following morning.

As Zhou Huan was doing the seventh set of broadcast gymnastics by the Sea God Lake, a familiar figure hurriedly came to his side.

The sadness in the visitor's eyes had clearly reached a new level.

The saying "nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart" probably describes his current state perfectly.

It's obvious that the person who rushed back so wearily was none other than Huo Gua.

Upon seeing Zhou Huan, Huo Gua's expression became even more complicated, because he had only returned to the Tang Sect at dawn, and then Beibei told him about the Beast Tide.

Therefore, without even having breakfast, he rushed over to find Zhou Huan.

He was the one who made the mistake, and he was also the one who caused the Beast Tide, so he couldn't just let Zhou Huan face the wrath of the Beast God.

So, Huo Gua's first words upon arriving were. "Zhou Huan, I'm going to the Beast God's appointment too. Qiu'er, Qiu'er died because of me, I must go."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you go, Di Tian will slap you to death before you even open your mouth?"

However, Huo Gua still looked at Zhou Huan with unwavering eyes. "Whether I live or die, I must bear the responsibility."

Zhou Huan shook her head, however. "You can't go."

Huo Gua anxiously, "Why?"

Zhou Huan looked at Huo Gua calmly and said, "Because I'm taking Wang Qiu'er with me. If you go, you'll only anger Di Tian. Qiu'er was raised by Di Tian as his daughter. Just imagine, if your daughter Sacrifice for another man, wouldn't you want to kill him when you see him?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua was stunned for a moment before excitedly asking, "Qiu'er... Qiu'er can be resurrected?"

Zhou Huan did not answer Huo Gua's question directly, but instead said ambiguously, "Perhaps yes, perhaps no."

In fact, Zhou Huan didn't have a way to revive Wang Qiu'er; he could only extract her soul. But does that count as resurrection?

Perhaps Wang Qiu'er can be resurrected in the future, but Zhou Huan couldn't be sure about that.

However, Huo Gua thought differently. He was willing to die if it meant bringing Wang Qiu'er back to life.

Therefore, Huo Gua stared intently at Zhou Huan and said, "Zhou Huan, I'm willing to do anything to revive Qiu'er."
