Chapter 570

So fast! Incredibly fast!

Even Fang Qi was startled for a moment!

He could move this fast?!

All he could feel was that everything before his eyes had slowed to a crawl!

The terrified expressions of the officers!

Gu Xi’s slightly parted lips!

And the fingers resting on the triggers behind those pitch-black gun barrels!

Every detail was clear beyond belief!

His body and senses had truly grown stronger again!

But this was no time to be surprised!

His right hand shot out and grabbed the muzzle of the gun in Gu Xi’s hand!

“Stop!!”

The other police officers immediately sprang into action!

The guns rose in unison!

A chorus of clicks rang out as every safety was disengaged!

Gu Xi’s eyes flew open, and she cried out:

“Don’t…!”

But before she could finish, Fang Qi yanked hard, trying to wrest the gun from her grasp!

Yet Gu Xi clung tightly to her weapon and refused to let him take it!

After a moment of shock, panic instantly overtook her.

“Wait, Fang Qi! Don’t…!”

Her voice cracked, and her eyes suddenly reddened!

Fang Qi could feel the gun trembling violently in her hands!

She was struggling against him with all her strength, refusing to let him pull it away!

Huh? Big Sis Officer, you…?

Didn’t you know I could rewind time?

He abruptly tore the gun from her grasp, making Gu Xi stagger violently!

Stop wasting time! Weren’t you the one who told me to “run”?

I sure as hell can’t let them capture Liguang!

“Drop the gun!!!”

“Don’t force us to fire!!!”

The other officers’ warnings still rang in his ears!

But he had already raised the pistol and swiftly aimed it at his own temple. As Gu Xi stumbled, he saw her eyes widen—

“Don’t…!!”

Bang!

Amid the agony and the vision that instantly turned red, Fang Qi saw Gu Xi’s stunned face. Then…

She suddenly gritted her teeth, her face filled with regret…!

Huh?

Big Sis Officer, why are you making that face…?

His vision rapidly faded to black, and darkness once again swallowed him.

Ugh… That hurts… I haven’t killed myself in a while. I’d forgotten how painful it is…

Damn, the caliber of these police pistols is pretty big…

But…

I can’t give you my life…

Otherwise, if Liguang wakes up and finds out, she’ll get jealous…

His consciousness drifted in the darkness as that familiar feeling of being devoured returned.

He was about to rewind.

But he still forced himself to gather the last of his strength and think.

He should…

rewind to a few minutes earlier, right?

That meant he would only have a few minutes…

After the rewind, Liguang would remain conscious for a while, but most likely, she would soon go limp and lose consciousness again…

He didn’t have much time, so he had to take Liguang with him directly…!

Forget it.

It wasn’t a big problem.

He had plenty of chances, after all.

At worst, he could rewind again and again. Sooner or later, he would…

“Lin You!!! You lunatic!!!”

He suddenly heard Gu Xi scream!

“Was it you?! Was it you who made Fang Qi…?!”

“Oh, Miss Eyeliner, don’t be angry~”

This time, it was Lin Xiaoyou’s voice.

“Although I helped you, I’m not going to let you take Senior away! Because Senior, he…”

Her tone suddenly grew solemn.

“…belongs to our world.”

“We will never let you take him away.”

Fang Qi: “…?”

What…?

Our… world?

What… did that mean…?

Before he had time to think about it, his consciousness sank completely into darkness.

…

When he regained consciousness, Fang Qi felt…

his body gently swaying.

A breeze brushed across his face. It was salty and damp.

Beside his ears…

Swoosh… swoosh…

The sound of waves softly lapping against a wooden raft.

And the aroma of shark-fin soup.

Rich, savory, and carrying the faint fragrance of tea.

Wow, that smells amazing…

I’m hungry… so hungry…

Huh?!

What the hell?!

No…!

Fang Qi suddenly opened his eyes!

The first thing that entered his vision was…

a beautiful starry sky.

Countless stars densely carpeted the entire night sky.

The Milky Way stretched across the heavens, its starlight reflected on the calm sea below, creating a shimmering expanse.

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Breathtakingly beautiful!

Fang Qi was genuinely about to suffocate.

Wait…?

He slowly lowered his head and saw a huge bucket of shark-fin soup sitting on the table.

Steam rose from it.

The familiar milky-white broth glowed temptingly beneath the starlight.

Then he slowly turned his head…

Ah.

His eyes trembled.

Liguang. Liguang was right beside him.

The silver-haired girl sat next to him, holding a bowl of shark-fin soup. Her raised hand seemed to be in the middle of feeding him…

Her entire body was frozen in the pose of “Master, have some soup,” as though she had been petrified where she sat!

Her golden and crimson eyes were both wide with shock as she stared at him!

Fang Qi: “…”

Where the hell have I been brought…?

He froze as well, and the two of them stared at each other.

The atmosphere was eerily silent, with only the sound of waves rising and falling in the background.

Liguang trembled, and the shark-fin soup in her hand spilled onto the deck!

Fang Qi jolted at the same time!

Then he instantly focused and finally understood!

Ah, so this was the save point?!

Shark-fin soup?!

The fourteen bowls of shark-fin soup mixed with “save-point tea,” on that night when day and night had been reversed?!

Huh?

Wait…?

Ah… that actually made sense.

He raised a hand and pressed it hard against his head. His thoughts were a complete mess!

Right! It really did make sense!

After saving here, he really had…

never saved again!

But…!

Huh?

He stared wide-eyed at the huge bucket of shark-fin soup before him—the same soup that had nearly made him throw up from being so full.

So when Liguang had taken him back to the apartment earlier, that hadn’t been a rewind?!

He had returned from the depths of the sea and appeared in the apartment, back in the real world…

That had merely been Liguang reverting the world?!

She had dismissed the “private server” and “restored” the world?!

And his true save point had remained fixed on this night at sea all along! Fixed at the moment when Liguang was still forcing soup down his throat!

I…!

“Eh?”

A cute little “Eh?” suddenly sounded beside him.

Fang Qi slowly raised his head and looked at her.

The silver-haired girl blinked her mismatched eyes, still holding out the bowl of shark-fin soup.

Her golden eye was misty with tears, while her crimson eye remained frozen in place. She simply stared at Fang Qi in a daze.

“You’re back?”

Then she murmured softly:

“Master brought Liguang… back…? But…”

Her expression was blank, and her brows drew together slightly.

She seemed to be struggling to understand something that had gone beyond her expectations.

“But Liguang’s ‘authority’ was clearly already… Huh?”

She looked just as confused.

Fang Qi: “?”

Wife, what are you talking about? What authority?!

But…

Looking at the bewildered silver-haired girl before him, Fang Qi’s expression softened slightly.

“Phew…”

Then he let out a sigh of relief.

This save point was pretty good too.

As long as his wife was safe, then…

Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared before him!

His gaze sharpened. Liguang was looking at him more and more brightly!

Tears shimmered in her golden eye, while her crimson eye began to sparkle with delight!

“Master actually… brought Liguang’s ‘permissions’ back too…!”

Her lips began to tremble.

“Master is amazing…! I knew you would…!”

Her eyes were shining with delight!

“Liguang really… Master!!!”

She suddenly threw herself at him!

A flash of silver hair, and her soft, warm body slammed into his arms. Fang Qi was knocked flat on his back!

The shark-fin soup in his hands splashed away, spilling all over the deck!

Fang Qi’s whole body tipped backward…

“Bang!”

The back of his head struck the raft!

Hiss…! That hurt, that hurt…!

Still… his pain sensitivity hadn’t been increased at this point. It was just ordinary pain.

If anything, it helped clear his head a little…

Clear-headed, my ass!

Fang Qi lay on the deck, completely dumbfounded, holding Liguang in his arms!

He could feel her rubbing herself against him!

Her silver hair spread all over his body. Her fingers clutched the front of his shirt tightly, her face buried against his chest…

“Thank goodness, thank goodness…!”

She continued to murmur nonstop…

“If Liguang’s ‘permissions’ hadn’t been taken away… Liguang… Liguang would never have let Master out!!!”

…What?

Fang Qi slowly widened his eyes as he stared at the starry sky.

What the hell was she talking about?!

How did he know absolutely nothing about this…?!

He abruptly lowered his head.

“Liguang!”

He gritted his teeth, his tone growing heavier.

“What, exactly, is going on here?!”

The soft warmth in his arms immediately went rigid.

“Uu…!”

She whimpered, and then…

She sprang straight out of his arms!

There she was, kneeling on both knees with both hands braced against the deck. Her body leaned back, then she suddenly dipped her head, sending her silver hair flying—

“Bang!”

Her forehead slammed hard into the raft!

The impact was so powerful that the entire plank shuddered!

It was an extremely forceful prostration!

Even Fang Qi flinched.

He stared at the kneeling girl, his trembling finger pointing at her as he struggled to speak.

W-Wife, you… you…

“Master, I’m sorry!! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!!!”

Liguang lay prostrate on the deck, her forehead pressed against the wood, her silver hair spread across the planks!

“Liguang was wrong!!!”

Her voice was filled with terror and remorse!

“How dare Liguang do such a thing to Master before!!!”

“Liguang deserves to die a thousand deaths!!!”

The corner of Fang Qi’s mouth twitched.

Deserves to die a thousand deaths? Crazy woman, did you secretly binge-watch costume dramas while you were away from me…?

And besides…

You were more than just wrong!

He glared at the little yandere curled up on the deck.

You nearly drove your husband insane!

You…!

The little silver-haired bundle on the ground cautiously raised her head a fraction and stole a peek at him.

Her eyes were damp, the rims slightly red, and her amber pupils were filled with hurt and ingratiation!

But Fang Qi’s expression remained blank.

Because that crazy woman was smiling! The corners of her mouth were curled into that faintly deranged grin again!

She wasn’t even trying to hide it anymore!

“Liguang won’t do that anymore, Master…”

Her voice was soft, and she sounded utterly satisfied.

“Because Liguang already knows that even if Master regains his memories…”

Her eyes curved into crescent moons.

“Master still loves Liguang so, so much.”

“So…”

A flash of deep blue suddenly flickered through her left amber eye!

Fang Qi’s heart jolted!

“Master…”

The silver-haired girl kneeling before him still wore that exaggerated smile.

“Shall we… continue our home at sea?”

Fang Qi opened and closed his mouth.

Huh? She wanted to continue? But…

“This time…”

Her voice began to tremble with excitement.

“Whatever Master tells Liguang to do, Liguang will do… all right?”

Then she suddenly straightened up, tilted her head, and her eyes lit up.

A flash of deep blue and crimson gleamed in them at the same time as she stared at Fang Qi in excitement!

“Does Master want to beat Liguang first?”

Fang Qi: “?”

Liguang still looked thrilled.

“Liguang will turn her pain sensitivity up to ten times… no, a hundred times!”

Then, before Fang Qi could react, she suddenly lowered her head and prostrated herself again—

“Bang!”

“Uu…!”

Another dull thud rang out, followed by a muffled groan.

“I’ve adjusted my pain sensitivity, Master!”

Her voice came through the wooden deck, muffled yet somehow carrying a strange note of excitement!

“Please punish Liguang harshly, Master!”

Fang Qi: “…”

He stared, mouth agape, at Liguang prostrated on the deck, his mind trembling.

Huh?

What was this supposed to be…?

What! Was! This! Supposed! To! Be!

He felt his breathing grow incredibly rapid!

His post-memory-recovery self had been right… he really was an idiot!

No, seriously, what were all of you…

What were you doing?! What were you all doing?!

Was he the only one being kept in the dark?!

Fang Qi abruptly sat up, veins bulging at his temples, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked!

Crazy woman!!!

You want a beating, is that it?!

Fine, I’ll oblige you!!

“Liguang! Get down and stay there!! Feel my fury!”

“Eek! Master, be gent—waaah!!!”
