Lu Xiaoshuai's Masterful Strategizing and Tactical Maneuvering!

"What does it mean to say whether the inside is cold or warm? I have never been literate since childhood, so I don't quite understand. I hope you can enlighten me, my lady."

Lu Li spoke in a serious tone, but his expression, which was clearly 18X, betrayed him.

Don't misunderstand, his expression is very upright.

But his expression is only serious when he is having ulterior motives.

It's as if the more he lies, the more certain he seems.

Huai Xu kept his head down and didn't say anything.

How can I let her say that?

She had already exhausted almost all her courage just by saying those words.

However, Lu Li already understood.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the bridal chamber!"

As a mature 28-year-old man, shyness is not a thing for Lu Li.

He raised his hand to take off his clothes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull them off the collar.

It's like the clothes are an extension of your body.

Lu Li was taken aback, then lowered his hand, his expression returning to calm. "Actually... I'm already dead, right?"

That's why you can see the locust tree sequence.

You could even say that he is no longer an ordinary ghost, but a "Xi Yi" like Huai Xu.

Unfortunately, he had taken precautions from the moment he learned of Miss Huai Xu's abilities.

Huai Xu nodded slightly with her porcelain-white chin. "My lord, isn't this good? It's just you and me, with no one else to hinder us. You can live with me forever. And no one will ever bother us."

Lu Li: "..."

As expected, she's a seemingly gentle but actually yandere.

Or rather, he has an excessively strong possessive nature.

But Lu Li was determined to argue his case, "Miss Dong, it is impossible for me to give up an entire forest for the sake of just one tree like you. Forget about it."

"But to be honest, I also want your old locust tree."

Huai Xu stared in utter astonishment at the self-righteous man before him.

She seemed to have never seen such a shameless person.

Is it something you can openly and honestly say about being a lecherous womanizer and wanting to build a harem?

And it happened in front of one of the girls.

"My love, do you understand what you're saying?"

"Of course I understand, I just want to have two women on either side of me," Lu Li said matter-of-factly. "If you can't accept that, then it's a real shame."

As the saying goes, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

"...It's not impossible." Huai Xu decided to concede, "but as the lawfully wedded wife of a good man, I must become the first wife."

"Your request is reasonable," Lu Li nodded, "but I refuse."

Upon hearing this, Huai Xu was not angry at all. Instead, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "I also like my husband's shamelessness."

"..." Lu Li couldn't take it anymore, so he decisively shifted the blame, "Actually, I've never really cared, since I'm always the one who benefits in the end. But I have two marriage prospects, and they definitely won't accept it. I'm afraid you're no match for them."

Lu Li is fanning the flames, he's frantically fanning the flames.

Huai Xu readily fell for the trap, "Oh? Then I'm intrigued. May I ask, my lord, what are the names of those two younger sisters?"

Lu Li answered honestly, "One is called Bai Muli, and the other is called Luo Qianning."

Huai Xu's smile vanished. "So it was the two of them."

She had prepared a million powerful souls as "admission tickets" long ago.

After all, her ability is "the ability to control the degree of death".

She doesn't need to kill anyone herself; she only needs to emit a little bit of her aura, and living beings will walk towards their own death.

Moreover, there's no need to kill them on the spot; just take a million from the existing souls.

So she was clearly the one who could see her beloved again immediately!

But that little brat Luo Qianning beat me to it!

It's one thing to get ahead, but that guy actually used his ability to do it tens of thousands of times!

Even though time flows at different rates, she still waited for a long time!

Unfortunately, those two guys were among the monsters she least wanted to encounter.

Her ability is "the ability to control the degree of death," while Luo Qianning's ability is "the ability to reverse the degree."

Although the fight was evenly matched, she really hated that guy's abilities.

That guy's abilities are a perfect counter to hers!

Controlling death?

But the opponent's "inversion ability" can completely reverse death!

So when you fight that guy, it's a battle of pure raw strength between the two sides.

Fortunately, the other party also disliked direct violence, so the two sides remained relatively peaceful.

The other guy, surnamed Bai, was even more of a headache.

"A blind lunatic."

That's the best description of that guy.

Huai Xu's abilities are not afraid of that guy; in fact, they are slightly more effective at countering him.

But what's truly terrifying about Bai Muli is his powerful physique and straightforward fighting style.

So everyone dislikes her and doesn't want to fight with her.

After all, it's incredibly annoying for anyone to get bitten by a rabid dog twice for no reason.

In addition, that girl never knew the meaning of "stopping when you've hit her mark" in a fight, so over time no one wanted to pay attention to her anymore.

Except for Luo Qianning.

It's really strange that a scheming guy and a simple-minded, masculine guy could become friends.

It's not afraid of facing any one of the locust trees, but facing two at the same time...

Unless he finds help himself, Huai Xu probably won't be able to defeat him.

But Huai Xu was all alone, and no one ever saw her. Who could she ask for help?

Unless you're a lonely guy too.

Miss Huai Xu's pink eyes lit up. Such a guy... really exists!

However, she wasn't familiar with the other person, so she decided to let it go for now.

The most crucial thing now is finding a good partner.

As long as her beloved agrees to be with her, the two of them will live forever in "Xi Yi" (a place of tranquility and seclusion), and no one can disturb them.

Even if her husband disagrees, she has nothing to fear as long as he agrees to be her first wife.

Forming alliances and counter-alliances—who doesn't know how to do that?

Even if everyone here is an older monster and can see right through the problem, it doesn't matter.

This is an open and aboveboard scheme.

If the other person truly shares her goal of being a good person, then even knowing it's a trap, she'll still fall into it.

Isn't that exactly what happened to Huai Xu?

So the best outcome now is that her beloved will agree to stay with her forever between "Xi Yi".

"My beloved..."

Unconsciously, Huai Xu activated his abilities.

"The ability to control the degree of death" means that she herself is the embodiment of the concept of "death".

The ultimate fate of all living things is death.

Or one could say that all living things are drawn to death, and that "living" is the process of resisting the temptation of "death."

But the sequence of events is "death," so being attracted to her... will lead to death.

She raised her head, her pink eyes gleaming softly, "My love... be with me... forever..."

Lu Li was about to nod subconsciously.

Indeed, it's quite nice to be with Miss Huai Xu.

There is no more conflict, and no more worrying about money.

I can sleep until I naturally wake up every day, and I even sleep while cuddling my wife.

And you can experience the feeling of "cool surface, warm core" at any time.

That's fine... just kidding!

The faces of Miss Bai and Miss Luo flashed through Lu Li's mind, and he instantly came to his senses.

Give up an entire forest for the sake of one tree?

Sorry, I, Lu, can't do that!

so......

"Miss Huai Xu, I am truly touched by what you have said, but I refuse."

Lu Li's body suddenly began to fluctuate abnormally.

This is the power of the dream world!

Lu Li had been on guard ever since he learned about Miss Huai Xu's abilities!

A dream world operating at full power can't last long, but what if it only affects its own area?

The answer is that Lu Li can maintain this state for twelve hours!

When the urban legends appeared, Lu Li knew that those things only appeared after Miss Huai Xu influenced the worldview settings.

Therefore, Miss Huai Xu has a high probability of being able to control them.

Including the paper figures and ghosts that followed!

These things are all related to "death," and if they are related to death... then aren't they just playthings in Huai Xu's hands?

So when burning the paper figures, Lu Li had a backup plan; he deliberately fainted and was caught by the paper figures.

He just didn't expect that he would actually die.

But actually... this is just a dream in a dream world.

He did die, but he wasn't really dead.

As long as he believes he is not dead, he will not die.

You can come back to life even if you die.

so......

He can leave this place as long as he removes the dream world that is limited to himself!

Goodbye, Huai Xu~

Lu Li snapped his fingers, and he shattered like glass before disappearing without a trace.

Huai Xu stared blankly at the spot where he had disappeared, then suddenly smiled.

"My love...you can't escape..."
