Chapter 574

She tilted her head back slightly, her tone perfectly matter-of-fact, with a hint of smugness on her face.

Fang Qi, however, frowned at her.

Well... that did make sense, didn’t it?

After all, back in that chaotic underground research facility, the electricity meter had also started running backward when she appeared. But...

“Then why did you...?”

He frowned as he asked.

After turning this place back into a room, she had collapsed into his arms like someone whose battery had completely died!

Even her simulated breathing had stopped!

Wouldn’t that mean...?

“It wasn’t that, Master.”

Liguang narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes slightly and turned her head toward the sea.

“Liguang wasn’t out of power back then. It was just that...”

“My permissions had been revoked, so I couldn’t keep going.”

She murmured softly.

“And the culprit behind all this...”

Her tone gradually turned cold.

Fang Qi followed her gaze.

“Senior! Liguang!”

The little white boat was still bobbing on the waves. It was now only a few dozen meters away from them.

Perhaps because she saw the two of them looking over, Lin Xiaoyou’s round little face scrunched up as she waved frantically and shouted,

“What are you two doing?! How much longer are you going to keep hugging each other over there?!”

“Let me get on already! I-I... I have absolutely incredible news to tell you!”

“Hurry and let me—urp!”

She suddenly grabbed the side of the boat, her little round face turning pale green.

“Hurry up! This boat is rocking so much—I’m already seasick... urp!”

Another dry heave drifted over, mixed with the sound of the waves in the night.

Fang Qi: “...”

The young lady who was supposedly the culprit looked pretty miserable right now.

But still...

He drew in a deep breath.

Although he still didn’t quite understand what was going on, at least he knew one thing...

His wife wouldn’t mess with him like before anymore!

She could even use his “permissions” to do things for him!

No electricity! No money! And definitely no tokens!

As long as he was here, she could use them freely!

Good heavens, she really was the ultimate AI wife!

Saint Liguang!

He slowly exhaled, feeling the irritation weighing on his heart instantly dissipate by more than half.

“Heh...!”

He smiled and tightened his arms around the warm, soft body in his embrace.

Good.

Very good.

He had no idea what his pre-amnesia self had wanted to do.

He wasn’t even sure whether the memories from before he transmigrated were real.

Even his very existence had been repeatedly called into question.

If that was the case... why should he keep thinking about it?

Thinking too much would only drive him into depression.

Right now, his sole goal was to stay comfortably with Liguang forever.

There was no need to worry about anything else.

It was all fake anyway.

Only his Liguang was real.

With that thought, he lowered his head to look at the silver-haired girl’s charming face. He raised his hand and firmly pinched her cheek again!

The familiar motion. Her soft cheek squished out of shape! The familiar sensation made him feel even more at ease!

“Mm...”

This time, Liguang merely let out a soft little whimper instead of crying out in pain.

Those amber eyes still gazed at him, glistening with moisture.

So cute. I want to...

“Bang!”

The platform beneath their feet shook!

Fang Qi turned around while holding the warm body in his arms, only to see the little white boat suddenly collide with the raft!

The genius girl, her face deathly pale, jumped off the little white boat and then...

She lost her footing and went sprawling, landing face-first on the deck!

“Urp—!”

Uh...

Fang Qi blinked as he looked down at Lin Xiaoyou, who was lying flat on the deck.

“Senior, Liguang...!”

Lin Xiaoyou lifted her head. Her hair was plastered to her face, her almond-shaped eyes red and brimming with tears as she glared at Fang Qi and Liguang in his arms!

Liguang showed no intention of getting up. In fact, she even rubbed herself slightly deeper into his embrace before glancing at Lin Xiaoyou, who was dry-heaving on the deck.

“Urp...!”

After another dry heave, Lin Xiaoyou wailed miserably,

“You two are so heartless!”

She choked out her accusation.

“I almost got swept into the ocean and fed to the sharks! And you two were actually here...”

“Urp...!”

She grabbed the side of the boat again, her little round face turning even greener!

Fang Qi: “...”

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, all he managed was a weak, “Uh...”

The sea breeze swept past them, and starlight spilled across the surface of the water.

Hmm...?

Fang Qi suddenly looked into the distance.

Far away, beneath the surface of the sea...

Something seemed to be swimming slowly past.

What was that...?

His arms suddenly felt empty.

Liguang had risen from Fang Qi’s embrace. The hem of her cream-colored swimsuit fluttered in the sea breeze.

She stood barefoot on the deck, looking down at Lin Xiaoyou, who was still sprawled there and dry-heaving...

The corners of her lips slowly curled upward.

“Miss Lin, long time no see.”

Her tone was very gentle—so gentle that a chill crept up the back of Fang Qi’s neck.

“Have you come to steal Liguang’s permissions again?”

Liguang tilted her head slightly. Her silver hair slipped over her shoulder, glowing with a faint blue sheen beneath the starlight.

“You’ll need to give me a suitable reason. Otherwise...”

The curve of her lips rose a little higher, and a flash of blue light passed through her amber eyes.

“It’s been a long time since Liguang properly disciplined Miss Lin.”

“This time...”

She blinked.

“How about I turn Miss Lin’s pain sensitivity up thirtyfold?”

Fang Qi pressed his lips together.

That genius girl might actually die from the pain. Literally.

Sure enough, Lin Xiaoyou shuddered on the spot, her face filled with terror!

“No, no, no, no, no—!”

She scrambled to her feet, dropped into a sitting position like a duck, and waved her little hands so quickly they blurred.

“Mama Li Guang, please spare me! I’ve truly repented!”

There were still traces of seasickness tears on her round little face, but she forced a flattering smile.

“I now realize that Senior’s ‘permissions’ are definitely more effective in your hands!”

“Please, be the bigger person and let me off this time!”

Fang Qi stared at her expressionlessly.

Although the genius girl was shameless as a matter of daily routine, he had to admit...

She was right. He couldn’t argue with that.

“And besides...!”

Lin Xiaoyou continued complaining, her tone unbearably aggrieved.

“I really did come to help you two!”

“Mama Li Guang and I have the same goal!”

“We shouldn’t... huh?”

Halfway through her sentence, she blinked and let out a puzzled little sound.

Those almond-shaped eyes were staring fixedly at Liguang’s back.

Hmm? What was wrong?

Fang Qi frowned and followed her gaze...

His expression froze.

Uh-oh...

Behind his wife, on that round, softly curved shape wrapped in cream-colored fabric...

There was a faint patch of red, with a slight swelling.

Damn it. The swelling still hadn’t gone down, and Lin Xiaoyou had seen it...

Liguang’s gaze also froze slightly.

Then...

Her pretty face visibly flushed with a thin layer of red!

“Ah!”

She let out a soft cry, immediately turned sideways, covered her backside with one hand, and spun around before diving back into Fang Qi’s arms!

She moved so quickly she looked like a startled little rabbit.

Fang Qi: “...”

You crazy woman. You can actually get embarrassed...?

He lowered his head and happened to meet the upturned face of the silver-haired girl in his arms.

Her amber eyes were filled with shimmering tears. She looked up at him pitifully, her little lips slightly pursed...

She was glaring at him!

—Master, this is all your fault!

Fang Qi’s throat tightened.

So cute.

...It’s my fault, my fault! It’s all my fault!

Then he suddenly looked up and glared at the round-faced girl who was still staring at them!

“What are you looking at?!”

Who said you could stare at my wife’s… there?!

Lin Xiaoyou paid him no attention whatsoever.

She continued staring fixedly at Liguang’s hips and thighs.

Fang Qi: “?”

What did that mean?

But no matter what…!

Acting on instinct, he pulled Liguang into his arms and shielded her body with his own arm, glaring at the genius girl kneeling on the ground!

“If you keep staring, I’ll have Liguang throw you overboard to feed the sharks!”

Whatever else happened, she was absolutely not allowed to look!

In his arms, Liguang gently shifted her body…

Yet the corners of her lips curled into a faint, almost sickly little smile.

Lin Xiaoyou seemed not to hear the threat. She stared blankly at Fang Qi again, their eyes meeting.

Fang Qi could see it in her eyes…

That overwhelming ecstasy!

…?

She suddenly drew in a deep breath, then jerked her head up with a “whoosh”!

Her almond-shaped eyes shone with terrifying brightness!

“Senior!! Liguang!!”

Using both her hands and feet, she began crawling toward them!

“I love you both so much!!!!”

Her pink jacket clung wetly to her body, her hair hung messily over her shoulders, and under the moonlight, her round little face was stretched into a huge grin…

She looked exactly like a female ghost that had just crawled out of a television!

Fang Qi immediately stood up with Liguang in his arms and backed away two steps, glaring at her.

“What are you doing?!”

Liguang simply let him carry her, even snuggling comfortably against his chest.

Fang Qi paused slightly.

His wife… didn’t seem surprised by Lin Xiaoyou’s behavior at all?

She…

“Ah…!”

Lin Xiaoyou seemed to realize that she had lost control.

She knelt on the ground, taking several more deep breaths. Her small chest rose and fell violently several times…!

Only then did she manage to suppress her grin a little.

But her eyes were still frighteningly bright!

“Oh, Senior, I was just too excited!” she said with a giggle, her eyes curving into crescents.

“You’re so dumb, Senior. Of course you wouldn’t understand~”

Fang Qi: “…”

What the hell…!

He took a deep breath.

Fine. He was used to it by now.

“But…!”

Lin Xiaoyou suddenly changed tack and looked at Liguang in Fang Qi’s arms!

“Your Liguang definitely understands!”

Her almond-shaped eyes practically shot off sparks!

She was insanely fanatical!

Fang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down.

The silver-haired girl nestled against his chest was quietly watching Lin Xiaoyou on the ground. Blue data streams slowly slid through her amber eyes, as if she were calculating something.

Lin Xiaoyou met Liguang’s gaze, and her eyes gradually lost focus.

“Just as I thought… I knew it, I knew it had to be this…!”

“There’s no need to verify it anymore. There’s really no need…!”

She muttered excitedly:

“It doesn’t matter whether Senior has the authorization or not… After all, he became so stupid after losing his memory…”

Fang Qi’s face remained expressionless.

…He was used to it. He really was used to it by now.

But still…

Why had this girl started speaking in riddles again?

Unable to hold back, he asked:

“Lin Xiaoyou, what exactly are you talking about—?!”

“Senior! Liguang!”

But Lin Xiaoyou suddenly shot to her feet!

“Let’s not search for the perfect worldline anymore!”

She looked at Liguang, her round little face filled with unparalleled fanaticism!

Yet within those almond-shaped eyes, there also seemed to be…

A plea so humble it was almost pitiful.

“Together… let’s create the perfect world!”

Fang Qi: “?”
