It sounded quite reasonable, yet Meng Qi still felt that something was off... Watching Gu Xiaosang's smiling face, he slowly walked over, his thoughts racing as he examined it piece by piece and analyzed the hidden implications.
Just then, he suddenly caught a fragrant scent rushing toward him. A figure abruptly drew close, an elbow brushed against softness, and Gu Xiaosang had already wrapped both hands around his left arm. She looked shy and bashful, but her eyes shone brightly, as though they held stars. In a clear, melodious voice, she said with a smile that seemed both genuine and feigned:
"Husband, this journey ended perfectly. I have attained the Legend realm, so we should return home together as husband and wife."
Meng Qi's body suddenly stiffened. He had never expected things to develop this way. He had almost forgotten what fragrant warmth and soft jade felt like.
Seeing his clumsy reaction, Gu Xiaosang lowered her delicate head as though suppressing a laugh. But all of a sudden, she felt Meng Qi's left arm jerk and actually break free of her embrace.
While she was still slightly dazed, a large hand reached over and took her slender, exquisite palm, as though carved from jade. His fingers interlaced with hers like green onion stalks, and then Meng Qi's deep voice sounded beside her ear:
"You attained the Legend realm, and everything in the past has finally reached an ending. From now on, we'll have an entirely new future. In that future, I have the Demon Buddha as my sworn enemy, you have the Gold Emperor as your great foe, and the Other Shore Great Figure currently supporting us may change his mind at any time. Heaven's Will is hard to predict, so we'll face this future of danger and change together."
