Lu Lingqi sat quietly in the chair, her tall, slender figure accentuated by a black, fitted outfit.
She seemed somewhat uneasy, her hands gripping the armrests tightly, her knuckles slightly white.
A faint blush rose to her pretty face, her gaze fixed intently on Fang Xian's brow.
Lu Lingqi's heart pounded, as if it would leap out of her throat.
She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and mustered her courage again, nervously asking,
"Is...is it okay?"
Fang Xian looked at Lu Lingqi in surprise, clearly sensing her nervousness; she was obviously not joking.
But he couldn't understand why.
"Tell me your reasons."
"I…"
Lü Lingqi hesitated, remaining silent for a moment before lowering her head and saying with a hint of self-mockery:
"I've always considered myself a genius of the human race, but since meeting you… I've come to a harsh reality."
"It's laughable. We're both 20 years old, yet the difference between us is like heaven and earth."
"Especially during the alliance war, when I used your abilities to wreak havoc, that feeling of being an unstoppable force was truly captivating…"
At this point, a faint sadness and a hint of resentment appeared in Lü Lingqi's eyes.
"But—just now, I could only watch helplessly as my father almost died at someone's hands, unable to do anything about it."
"That feeling… I really don't want to experience it again."
Lü Lingqi's lips tightened, her body trembling slightly as she struggled to suppress that feeling of helplessness.
She slowly raised her head, her body involuntarily leaning forward slightly, her hands clasped tightly in front of her.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded casually over her shoulders, a few strands fluttering slightly with her eagerness.
Her eyes were bright and burning, fixed on Fang Xian, filled with longing and anticipation.
"I know that if I become your woman, you can help me level up quickly, just like you help other women."
"If I quickly reach level 500, I can go to 'Divine Stone Mountain' with you, and then we'll definitely break through the level 500 barrier."
"I don't want to miss this opportunity. If I miss it, I'll never have another chance to protect my father, so... can I become
your woman?"
Fang Xian listened silently to Lü Lingqi's heartfelt confession, somewhat moved by her.
A proud young woman, daring to so humbly beg a man to accept her, clearly showed how deeply Lü Wushuang's actions had affected her today.
She probably heard from Lü Wushuang about their plans to go to "Divine Stone Mountain," and knew that whether it was Lü Wushuang or she, missing this opportunity would make it very difficult to break through level 500.
Under immense pressure, she couldn't afford to miss this opportunity, so she had to go all in, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Fang Xian smiled slightly. He wasn't some kind-hearted person; he wouldn't refuse a beautiful woman offered to him.
"I can promise you, I'll keep you at level 500 before 'Divine Stone Mountain' opens."
"I can also help you break through to level 500, but we need to sign a contract before I can help you."
Lu Lingqi's eyes were filled with excitement, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Okay, I agree."
"Mm."
Fang Xian smiled slightly, a black magic circle appearing beneath his feet, linking to one beneath Lü Lingqi's feet.
A large "Equality" appeared between them.
"Contract."
Lü Lingqi answered without hesitation.
"Agreed."
The black magic circle linking them shone brightly, merging into a large black magic circle.
A moment later, both Fang Xian and Lü Lingqi felt the "Power of the Contract," the contract was successful.
The light dimmed, and the black magic circle disappeared.
[Contract successful, current contract partners: 28/51.]
Originally, Lü Lingqi's feelings towards Fang Xian were hostility, dissatisfaction, and respect.
Now
—full of love.
Fang Xian took Lü Lingqi's slender hand, mischievously pulling her to her feet.
After some loving moments Fang Xian released Lü Lingqi's fragrant lips with satisfaction.
Fang Xian then took out an "Attribute Enhancer" from the "System Inventory" and gently massaged Lü Lingqi's shoulders.
"Baby, drink it."
Lü Lingqi lightly brushed a strand of hair from her pretty face, looking weakly at the "Attribute Enhancer" in Fang Xian's hand.
"This is... an 'Attribute Enhancer'?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, husband..."
Lü Lingqi happily took the "Attribute Enhancer" and drank it down in one gulp.
[Ding! Lü Lingqi consumed one bottle of "Attribute Enhancer," 28,000 bottles returned.]
Fang Xian then took out one each of the following items for Lü Lingqi: "Universal Stone," "Anti-Poison Pill," "Poison Pill," "Black Tortoise Meat," "White Tiger Meat," "Blood of the War God," "Golden Divine Gift," "Red Divine Gift," and "Golden Roc Golden Skill Book."
After returning everything, he gave Lü Lingqi 3000 bottles of "Attribute Enhancement Potions," and then 10,000 portions each of "Blood of the War God," "Golden Divine Gift," "Red Divine Gift," "Anti-Poison Pill," and "Poison Pill."
Lü Lingqi exclaimed in surprise at the sheer number of top-tier "items" in her storage ring.
"Husband, are all these for me?"
"Of course, they're all yours."
"Thank you, husband."
...
Night, backyard.
Fang Xian led Lü Lingqi to the group of women, introducing them with a smile.
"Lü Lingqi, everyone knows each other. From now on, you're all sisters."
Lü Lingqi had always been a loner, and seeing so many sisters made her a little shy, afraid she wouldn't be used to group living.
Zheng En'ai smiled and stepped forward, taking Lü Lingqi's hands.
"Welcome, Lingqi! From now on, we're all sisters."
The women slowly stepped forward, happily welcoming Lü Lingqi to Fang Xian's wives' group.
Feeling the warmth of the women's enthusiasm, Lü Lingqi felt a surge of tenderness. It wasn't the fatherly love like Lü Wushuang's, but the sisterly affection only she felt.
She looked at the women with gratitude and thanked them sincerely with a smile.
"Thank you, sisters."
The women: "We're all sisters, no need for thanks! Hehe."
Fang Xian looked at them with satisfaction, put his arm around Lü Lingqi's slender waist from behind, and laughed:
"Then you all will help Lingqi level up from now on, and try to reach level 500 as soon as possible."
Qinglong stepped forward and took Lü Lingqi's arm, smiling broadly.
"Don't worry, husband, we'll help Lingqi level up properly."
Xue Nai smiled gently and echoed.
"Yes, don't worry, husband, leave it to us."
"Okay."
Fang Xian surveyed them, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
"Unity and friendship are everyone's responsibility; let's build a better home together."
