Her and Him

Chapter 41: Her and Him (Extra Chapter!!)

The streets of Hangcheng bustled with activity.

Mu Ningwei and Ash Riya walked side-by-side, the light around them dimming as if to reduce the presence of the famous, handsome man and beautiful woman.

Especially Mu Ningwei, who now had followers everywhere in Hangcheng.

Although most of these followers would lose their faith over time, his current devotion was at its peak.

If Mu Ningwei were to appear in public, it was foreseeable that it would cause a huge sensation.

Mu Ningwei glanced at the beautiful and dignified Ash Riya beside him.

She was still the same noble Saintess, with a graceful figure and exquisite face. From head to toe, her skin and aura were beyond mortal.

Half a year had passed since they last met.

Mu Ningwei didn't feel much emotion, finding peace in simply walking quietly.

Ash Riya, however, felt differently.

She sensed a threat from Mu Nujiao and urgently needed to mend her relationship with Mu Ningwei.

She only had this one chance, so how could she just go for a quiet stroll?

"Ningwei, there's an ice cream shop over there."

Ash Riya's smile was incredibly beautiful as she led Mu Ningwei into the ice cream shop.

Standing in front of the freezer, Ash Riya tapped her chin with her fingertip, making cute sounds as she searched for her target.

Soon, her eyes lit up. She picked up two "Little Puddings" with blue and white packaging, pulled Mu Ningwei to the counter to pay, and turned back with a charming smile.

"I remember in Athens, you really wanted to eat this 'Little Pudding' as a child. You had me search several streets, but we couldn't find it."

"I guessed you were homesick, so I asked Mother Ye Chang. We two learned to make a full three pounds of 'Little Pudding' online."

"You, me, sister, brother, Mom, and Dad ate it happily together."

"'Little Pudding' is quite common in your hometown, isn't it? At the time, I wondered if your hometown's 'Little Pudding' was tastier, or if the one we made was better."

Ash Riya held the "Little Pudding" in her slender hand, waving it in front of Mu Ningwei with a charming smile:

"Here, try it. Give me your evaluation."

The store clerk was stunned by Ash Riya's beauty, a blend of Eastern and Western advantages, and looked at Mu Ningwei with immense envy and jealousy.

Damn it!

Why does this kid get such a beautiful, gentle, and quirky girlfriend?

And he has to work his butt off here every day and buy gifts for that girlfriend who only knows how to ask for things!

Damn it, what's the point of living!

Break up! Break up!

I'm not dating anymore!

Mu Ningwei glanced at the gritting-teeth store clerk. As he reached out to take the "Little Pudding," his hand grasped empty air.

Ash Riya withdrew her hand, winked playfully, helped him tear open the wrapper, and held the white ice cream with its wooden stick, offering it to Mu Ningwei's lips with expectant eyes.

Behind her, her other hand clenched tightly.

Don't refuse!

Please don't refuse me!

Mu Ningwei was momentarily stunned. He opened his mouth and took the ice cream, taking the wooden stick from Ash Riya's hand.

Ash Riya immediately broke into a bright smile, the noble Saintess's eyes reflecting him in the mortal world.

The two walked out of the ice cream shop.

Mu Ningwei looked at Ash Riya as she lifted her hair with her fingers, revealing her fair neck and small ears, and taking small bites of the ice cream.

Sensing his gaze, Ash Riya smiled and asked, "How was it?"

Mu Ningwei's voice was gentle, "The ice cream from Divine Land tastes more like what I remember. The ice cream you made was too sweet."

Ash Riya looked a little disappointed, "Is that so?"

"However, the ice cream from Divine Land is an industrial product, while yours is filled with emotion. That was the most delicious 'Little Pudding' I've ever had."

"It has been fermented and settled in my memories. Perhaps even food that would make immortals linger would not compare to the memory you gave me."

Now, Wen Tai and Ye Chang had gone their separate ways.

Ye Xin Xia was trapped in darkness.

The dull Norman had closed off his heart.

Even Ash Riya and he could not return to the past.

The deliciousness in those memories, surrounded by all these irrecoverable beautiful things, could not be compared to anything else.

Mu Ningwei showed a slightly melancholy smile.

Ash Riya, receiving confirmation, excitedly took Mu Ningwei's hand, secretly pleased by his lack of resistance. She searched the streets of Divine Land, looking for elements that connected to the beautiful things in her memories.

She saw a mother pull back a child who had rashly walked onto the crosswalk, and then gently scold him.

Ash Riya recounted the past: when Mu Ningwei first arrived in Athens, she took him out to play, and they encountered an assassination attempt.

She held him protectively, directing guards to deal with the assassins while softly comforting him.

Mu Ningwei spoke of later events: Wen Tai's voluntary death, and the forces of Pamirs and Yi Zhi Sha beginning their reckoning against them.

He borrowed blessings from Athena, summoned the Holy Light Unicorn, and like a prince, swept Ash Riya into his arms, escaping the encirclement.

She saw a white-collar worker at the bus stop bowing and scraping, smiling obsequiously at someone on the phone.

Ash Riya spoke of how Mu Ningwei's goal of joining the Knight Hall and becoming a Blue Star Knight was thwarted, and how he was relentlessly targeted by Yi Zhi Sha's subordinates.

She gave up her chance to be promoted to Wise Woman in the Goddess Hall and made an extremely disadvantageous deal with Pamirs, just so he could participate in the assessment.

Despite the unfairness of the assessment, he passed perfectly, shocking everyone who had been waiting to see them fail.

Mu Ningwei spoke of the past: Ash Riya was under Pamirs' control.

He found Hailong and persuaded him through various means, making the Knight Hall master pledge loyalty to Ash Riya, who was struggling to protect herself at the time.

From then on, they were able to firmly establish themselves in the Parthenon.

Ash Riya grew happier as she spoke, her gaze becoming increasingly tender.

These beautiful memories of hardship were her unbeatable advantage.

What right did Mu Nujiao have to compare with her!

Mu Ningwei's gaze followed his memories.

Why, when they were weak in the past, could they rely on each other for support?

But after growing strong enough to rival Pamirs, she had become so distant.

The more she recalled the past, the more she thought about what Ash Riya had done half a year ago.

Mu Ningwei's feelings grew more complex.

"Ningwei."

Ash Riya suddenly hugged Mu Ningwei, feeling as if she held the entire world.

The sun was so bright, the air so fresh, and life so beautiful.

Ash Riya, with a gentle, affectionate gaze, smiled confidently and said:

"Be my man, I love you."

Mu Ningwei felt Ash Riya's embrace.

He had finally heard her say these words, willing to forge a contract of love and responsibility with him.

If this were half a year ago, he would definitely have considered himself the happiest person in the world.

In Ash Riya's bewildered eyes, Mu Ningwei pushed her away, a hint of warning in his smile:

"Ash Riya, please respect yourself. I already have a girlfriend."

Click, click.

The bright, beautiful world in Ash Riya's eyes was shattered by the powerful fist of the man she loved, cracking and exploding into fragments.

Rumble!

An explosion seemed to occur in her brain; the colorless, gray world turned ice-cold.

Space distorted, images flickered, and a sharp buzzing erupted in her ears.

Ash Riya desperately tilted her head back, blinking her sore eyes. Tears blurred her vision, and her body swayed as if she might fall at any moment.

"Ningwei?"

A familiar voice called out.

Leng Qing's curious gaze swept over Ash Riya and Mu Ningwei, and she supported Ash Riya, who was clearly not well.

"What happened?"

"She... is your friend?"
