Chapter 577

“I’m telling you, Sister An Lian… find a way to kill Liguang!”

Lin Xiaoyou stood there with one hand on her hip, pointing at Liguang in Fang Qi’s arms with the other.

Her round little face was tipped up, her expression unbearably arrogant!

“We need to put an end to this farce!”

The sea breeze suddenly picked up, sending her ponytail flying.

As for Fang Qi…

He stared at her expressionlessly.

He was too tired to even get angry anymore. In fact… he silently applauded her in his heart.

Good. Very good. Wonderful.

Right in front of someone’s husband, pointing at his wife and declaring that she was going to kill her…?

He was used to it.

There was no fixing that mouth of Lin Xiaoyou’s. It couldn’t be changed, and it certainly couldn’t be restrained!

If she ever stopped courting death, he would probably start wondering whether the world had undergone yet another massive change!

He lowered his head and looked at the silver-haired girl in his arms.

To his surprise, Liguang wasn’t angry at Lin Xiaoyou’s provocation.

She remained seated sideways on his lap without saying a word, merely staring quietly at Lin Xiaoyou with her strange, mismatched eyes.

Her amber eye was completely calm, while the crimson one flickered faintly, as if she were thinking about something.

Fang Qi tightened his arms around her slightly and then…

Took a deep breath.

This really was troublesome.

He knew that Lin Xiaoyou hadn’t just been running her mouth.

She had actually done it.

Because…

At the end of the previous cycle, Liguang had lost consciousness.

After being forced to turn this ocean world back into an apartment, she had only had time to exchange a few words with him…

Then she had immediately lost consciousness, collapsing limply into his arms and completely losing all vitality. Even her simulated breathing had stopped!

At the time, he had thought she’d simply run out of power…

But thinking about it now, wasn’t this exactly what had happened?

…Sister An Lian?

Yes. Sister An Lian.

Sister An Lian knew something truly incredible.

That super-low-level command capable of directly destroying the Nine Super Cores!

She had told him herself. She had said she could destroy Liguang with ease!

So… Lin Xiaoyou had said she contacted An Lian, and then…

Sister An Lian had made her move?

And that was why Liguang had ended up like that?

Fang Qi narrowed his eyes, staring at Lin Xiaoyou, who was still standing before him with her hands on her hips and her chin raised.

The sea at night was quiet. Waves lapped against the raft again and again, while the breeze blew softly.

Fang Qi said nothing. Liguang said nothing either.

The two of them simply stared silently at Lin Xiaoyou.

Lin Xiaoyou’s back remained rigid and the corners of her lips were still raised, but gradually…

She blinked at the two of them, and her expression slowly stiffened.

“Oh, dear…!”

She awkwardly lowered her hand and rubbed her arm.

“Why are you both looking at me like that…? And why aren’t you saying anything? It’s creepy…”

But then she gave a huff, puffed out her chest again, and glared at them.

“But I’m not afraid to take responsibility for what I’ve done! I did it, so I’m not afraid to admit it!”

“I, Lin Xiaoyou, confess! In that last ‘dream,’ I was the one who joined forces with Miss Eyeliner and Sister An Lian to ‘invade’ your world!”

“I was the one who forced you two out!”

“So Xiaoqing wouldn’t be lost because of you again!”

As she spoke, she squeezed her eyes shut and raised her chin.

“I did it, so I’ll take responsibility for it!”

She looked as though she were bravely awaiting execution, ready to accept whatever punishment came her way.

Fang Qi: “…”

So she was going on the offensive to put them on the defensive?

Still… He looked at the round-faced girl standing before him with her eyes closed, waiting for death, then lowered his head and glanced at Liguang, who still hadn’t moved.

Well…

“Liguang.”

He raised a hand and poked the silver-haired girl’s cheek.

“Hmm?”

“Did you know that the outside world had become like that?”

Did his wife know?

The silver-haired girl tilted her head slightly and rubbed her cheek gently against his finger before…

Shaking her head.

“I didn’t know, Master.”

She looked up at Fang Qi, her eyes carrying a hint of grievance as she softly defended herself.

“To create a world containing only Master and Liguang, this place… has always been isolated from the outside world.”

“Liguang has never been interested in the outside world.”

As she spoke, she gave Lin Xiaoyou a light glance, her voice growing softer.

“I just didn’t expect the outside world to have been affected so severely…?”

“That… was indeed Liguang’s oversight.”

Fang Qi fell silent.

So Liguang hadn’t known either?

She had turned the outside world upside down without even realizing it?

Uh…

The corner of his mouth twitched. He had no idea what to say.

Making a mess of my life was one thing, but she even made a mess of the entire world…

This Crazy Girl!

“Master.”

Liguang suddenly spoke again, leaning closer into his arms.

“Do you remember how there was a period of time when Liguang was always very busy at sea?”

Liguang was looking at him too. Starlight was reflected in her amber eye, while the crimson one flickered faintly.

Fang Qi blinked.

A period when she was busy?

Ah… Yes, he remembered.

During that time, because Liguang was “too busy,” she couldn’t cook for him all the time anymore. She had even…

Sent him an entire set of cooking utensils in a wooden crate so he could use them himself!

The memory was still fresh, and he had been upset about it for quite some time back then!

At that point, his memories had been altered, and he had believed Liguang was his “yandere girlfriend who had once broken all four of his limbs.” His longing for her had only grown stronger.

Every day, he had counted down on his fingers, wondering when Liguang would stop being busy and when she would cook another meal for him…

Thinking back on it now, he still felt rather wronged!

Liguang looked at Lin Xiaoyou, who still had her eyes closed.

Miss Genius had obviously pricked up her ears and was secretly listening.

“The reason Liguang was so busy was because, during that period, an unwelcome guest…”

She looked at Lin Xiaoyou, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly as her tone darkened.

“Attempted to break the rules Liguang had established. Attempted to force her way in.”

“Attempted to completely throw our world into chaos.”

An unwelcome guest?

Fang Qi looked at Lin Xiaoyou again.

Miss Genius’s eyelashes trembled with her eyes closed, but perhaps sensing their gazes, she secretly opened her right eye a sliver to take a peek…

Only to meet Fang Qi’s gaze head-on!

She immediately snapped her eye shut again, straightening her back even more. The tragic, heroic expression on her round little face grew even more intense!

“I said, do whatever you want to me!”

“But… once you’re done, you’re not allowed to hold it against me! We’ll be even!”

“After all…”

She shouted with her eyes still closed.

“You’re the ones who turned the outside world into a complete mess!”

“If I hadn’t stopped you, the outside world would have been finished!”

Looking at her like that, Fang Qi pressed his lips together.

So your way of stopping us was to “kill” my wife?

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end…

He merely shook his head helplessly.

Forget it. He probably… didn’t have any right to criticize her anyway!

Lin Xiaoyou hadn’t really done anything wrong. When she said she wanted to “kill Liguang,” her actual goal…

Was to forcibly wake them up and roll everything back, right?

And judging from the result…

Fang Qi rubbed his brow, feeling a little embarrassed.

He had actually benefited from it!

If this Miss Genius hadn’t done what she did, he would probably still be in his own wife’s palm, being toyed with!

He would have continued looping through the fabricated memories again and again!

Falling in love with his wife time after time, only to have her cruelly toy with his feelings over and over!

Not to mention, aside from him, the outside world had also been turned into a complete mess by Liguang’s actions!

Fang Qi blinked.

Now that he thought about it...

His own wife really was the one in the wrong!

Fang Qi lowered his head slightly.

Liguang noticed his gaze and looked up, meeting his eyes.

Then, to his surprise, she gave a tiny pout and snuggled even further into his arms.

She didn’t get angry or argue back. It was obvious that Liguang understood...

She had apparently taken things a little too far this time!

Crazy Girl!

...Sigh. Forget it.

Fang Qi shook his head helplessly.

She was his wife. What else could he do?

Besides, he had already punished her quite severely!

Thirtyfold pain amplification on her bottom!

It had hurt like hell!

Liguang had definitely realized her mistake by now!

“Ahem!”

Fang Qi coughed lightly, tightened his arms around the soft, warm body in his embrace, and turned back to Lin Xiaoyou with a serious expression.

“All right, stop pretending. We were in the wrong this time.”

His tone grew earnest as well.

“Go on. What did you do after that?”

At his words, Lin Xiaoyou’s tightly shut eyes flew open. She blinked her almond-shaped eyes, and the corners of her lips curled upward.

“Hehe!”

She giggled and settled herself back down on the little stool.

“I knew you were the best, Senior!”

The silver-haired girl in his arms had still been burying her face against his chest in grievance, but at that, she shot Lin Xiaoyou a faint sidelong glance.

“...Liguang is the best too!”

Lin Xiaoyou hurriedly added that sweetly to Liguang as well.

“You’re both the best!”

Fang Qi rolled his eyes.

“Enough with the flattery. Continue!”

“There’s more...”

He pointed at Lin Xiaoyou, puzzled.

“But how are you able to enter this world now?”

Liguang had said that only beings “of the same origin” as her could enter this place, right?

And once they entered, they would only turn into fish.

So how had Miss Genius managed to drift in on a little white boat?

Lin Xiaoyou immediately propped up her chin with both hands, beaming at Fang Qi and Liguang.

“Of course, it was all thanks to the combined efforts of me...”

“Miss Eyeliner!”

“Sister An Lian!”

“The three of us!”

...

...

Senior, the three of us together are really amazing!

I contributed my brilliant brain, Sister An Lian had a super-secret trump card, and Miss Eyeliner’s side...

She’s super mysterious!

But our cooperation didn’t go all that smoothly at first.

The first person I contacted was Sister An Lian. I called her and told her about my plan...

Guess how she responded?

She was silent for quite a while before telling me that she had already tried probing Liguang before.

Which made sense. She was Liguang’s maintenance specialist, after all. If something went wrong with Liguang, she would certainly be held responsible.

She’d already been taken away there so many times.

However, she hadn’t used that... that fundamental command capable of directly destroying Liguang.

Sister An Lian said she had used some kind of command that could affect Liguang’s crimson eyes?

I didn’t really understand it either~

But anyway, it was useless.

Because you two were inside that “black hole” at the time!

Everything from outside shattered the moment it touched the place, and anyone who approached was repelled. There was simply no way to get in.

Sister An Lian had that so-called “fundamental command,” but she had no way to transmit it to Liguang!

Even the most powerful virus is helpless against a computer that isn’t connected to the internet, right?

So we first needed to break through your world and enter it...

Or at the very least, establish contact with you!

That really was a troublesome problem, but...

What a coincidence! Isn’t that exactly the research I’ve been working on all along?

From the very beginning, I’d been planning to sneak into your little world!

Then I’d suddenly pop out and scare you half to death!

Hehe!
