Chapter 402: Having Such a Wife, What More Could a Husband Ask For!
"..."
Following Wen Ping's words, Little Miao stood there, stunned, momentarily unsure how to respond.
...
Meanwhile.
Occupying the God's eye view, Tuberculosis Rabbit, Chen Yi, Sword Without End, Tie Chui, and Jiaye were sitting with great interest on chairs suspended in midair, looking through the ceiling of the lower level at Wen Ping and his companions in the bedroom below.
Yes.
Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others had also come to watch the commotion.
Originally, Tuberculosis Rabbit wouldn't have been able to enter, since the "Apple of Eden" could only be used on a single player, drawing that player into the Illusory Realm. However, Tuberculosis Rabbit had been clever, using the Prop on Chen Yi, dragging him into his own Illusory Realm.
Then Tuberculosis Rabbit didn't change anything in his Illusory Realm, taking Chen Yi's as the standard, and in this way, Sword Without End and the others also entered the Illusory Realm one by one.
"Why bother."
Chen Yi sighed softly, waving his hand to touch the air, feeling somewhat helpless. He was now within Tuberculosis Rabbit's Illusory Realm. He hadn't imagined Tuberculosis Rabbit would research for so long just to come in and watch the show.
"Yi,"
Tuberculosis Rabbit said with slight excitement, "This is the most critical scene! If I missed this, I'd have so much regret!"
"Wen Ping is starting to believe Little Miao might be a Reincarnator."
"Reincarnator, ah!"
"Such a fantastical term, and Wen Ping seems to have believed it so quickly."
"Probably read too many novels in the past,"
Sword Without End said with a complex expression and an emotional click of his tongue. To be frank, he had once suspected Yi was a Reincarnator; after all, everyone was starting from the same point at Blue Star, so why did Yi suddenly get so far ahead?
It just didn't make sense.
If Yi was a Reincarnator, then everything would make sense. Using memories from a past life to snatch up all the best rewards of the Novice Period, that would be rational.
But after further thought,
he realized this guess wasn't quite right either. He had joined Yi's team when Yi wasn't very strong, and at that time, Yi's power was indeed limited. Then gradually, Yi went on a killing spree.
From the God Race invasion, which was the first Race invasion of Blue Star, the wheels of fate had slowly started turning, opening Pandora's box.
"Not right..."
Sword Without End's expression suddenly became odd. If he remembered correctly, the real thing that propelled Yi's rise was the "Title of Wife Kiler." It was a powerful weapon that Yi used for a long time.
In many crises and disasters, Yi used that title to overcome difficulties.
And if he wasn't mistaken, that title was given to Yi by him, wasn't it?
It was during their first meeting when Yi had a costume set he needed, and he traded Yi an Admission Ticket for a dungeon that could award a "unique global character action."
This dungeon Admission Ticket could only be cleared by a player once.
He had already cleared it once, so the ticket was practically useless to him, just like a piece of waste paper. Trading it for a costume set he needed seemed like a good deal.
In fact, at that time, he could have sold the ticket for a high price and given some Points to Yi. That way, he would have made some profit.
But at that time, he also felt Yi was worth befriending, sort of like doing a favor for Yi.
Back then, although Yi was strong, his strength was still limited, which made him think that with a bit of a struggle and a good opportunity, he could get a handle on things.
But now...
Everything had changed.
And it was in that dungeon which awarded the "unique global character action" that Yi obtained the "Title of Wife Killer" that would eventually dominate all sides.
Damn... Is this cause and effect?
Does it mean that a large part of Yi's current status and strength is all because of him? If it weren't for him, Yi never would have had the chance to obtain that title, and without it, during the first God Race invasion, he and Yi would have both gone to hell.
"..."
All of a sudden, Sword Without End's expression became strange as he lapsed into silence. Thinking over it, it felt so weird; he also didn't know why at the time he had impulsively sought out Chen Yi and then handed over the dungeon ticket.
Damn it...
He couldn't be like some character in a fantasy novel, right? Was his actual role just to deliver that dungeon Admission Ticket to Yi?
That was absurd.
Sword Without End sighed softly and shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore. Maybe he was overthinking it. But one thing was certain: Yi could not have reached today's heights without him, Sword Without End. So, in the future, perhaps he could... be a bit more arrogant.
...
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Little Miao who was still hesitating and undecided, Wen Ping said with a glint of disappointment and self-mockery in his eyes, "Is it hard to make a choice?"
"Have you ever heard a story?"
"One day, a farmer carrying his worn-out ax went to chop trees across the river, but while on the bridge, he accidentally dropped his ax into the water. The River God emerged from the water holding two axes, asking the farmer, is the ax you lost in my left hand, this iron one, or in my right hand, this golden one?"
"It's hard to make a choice, right? Do you feel like you're that farmer now?"
"It is indeed."
"I actually compared myself with someone you regard as a great individual, that was overreaching on my part. Perhaps I'm just a passerby, simply someone who passed through your life."
