Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

“Ma Han…”

Xu Xiao turned his head to look at the young man beside him, his eyes full of doubt, and said:

"When did Lu Li and I get married?"

"What time is it now?"

"Where am I? Is this still Earth?"

"Why do I have absolutely no recollection of this..."

Ma Han looked at Xu Xiao, his face gradually revealing an expression of disbelief and shock.

However, when Xu Xiao frowned, clearly beginning to worry...

He suddenly changed his serious demeanor, grinning widely and laughing like a happy monkey.

"Of course you don't remember the class monitor! Haha..."

"Since you overused your authority during that great war, you have forgotten many things from the past."

"But don't worry, even if you forget yourself, we, your friends, will help you find yourself again."

"This is still Earth, of course, but it's Earth three years after that war to become gods."

"If you hadn't forcefully invoked the power of authority to fight against blasphemy and darkness, and purged all the demonic energy, we would probably all have become demons by now..."

"As for when you and Brother Li got married, hehe, when Brother Li arrives, you can ask him yourself."

Ma Han finished speaking with a smile, and tactfully made way for the approaching young man.

He quickly moved towards the barbecue grill under the big tree, urging it on with obvious delight:

"Hey fatso, is the meat ready yet? I'm starving!"

"Almost there, almost there, don't rush me... Hey, that one's for the class monitor, and that one's still a baby!" Wang Chao's voice followed closely.

Although his tone was cursing, it gave Xu Xiao a very reassuring feeling.

perhaps,

Is Anxin not because of Wang Chao?

It was because Lu Li was standing right in front of her, face to face, with a warm smile.

"Honey, have you forgotten when we got married again?"

"Uh...yes..." Xu Xiao's cheeks flushed, and for a moment she didn't dare to look the young man in the eye.

Lu Li seemed to be used to this, and said with a doting expression:

"We held our wedding on this very grass just one month after the battle that led to godhood."

"The concurrent celebrations lasted for two whole weeks."

"Is...is that so?" Xu Xiao tried hard to recall, but all she got was a blank.

It wasn't until Lu Li confirmed it again that she seemed to vaguely remember it.

"Yes."

"Thanks to you for forcibly mobilizing your authority back then, you cleansed the earth of blasphemy and darkness."

"The holy flames burned away all demonic energy, bringing holiness and light to this land."

“Is that so…” Xu Xiao raised his eyes and quickly glanced at the young man in front of him.

Seeing that the other party's expression was solemn and not feigned, the furrowed brows showed signs of relaxing slightly.

Although she still couldn't recall anything.

But seeing Lu Li's confident demeanor, she felt inexplicably calmed down.

"Forget it, it's alright." Lu Li withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at the woman in front of him again:

"As long as you remember that it was you who fought against darkness and blasphemy, and cleansed those filthy creations, that the earth has peace and tranquility today, that is enough."

"Of course, it's okay if you can't remember, I'll help you remember."

"Because we are already a family."

As he spoke, Lu Li took a half step forward, gently took Xu Xiao's hand, and placed it in his palm.

The reassuring warmth traveled through her skin, causing Xu Xiao's still-flushed cheeks to regain their color.

My heart started pounding wildly.

"A family..."

Xu Xiao's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

The scene she had dreamed of countless times has finally become a reality.

It feels so unreal...

"Wait a minute..." Xu Xiao suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes narrowed, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"What did you just say we had?"

Lu Li was taken aback, and repeated his previous words:

"We're already married, we're family."

"Of course, it's a family relationship."

"Look, the child is all grown up now, old enough to run errands..."

As he spoke, the young man pointed into the distance.

The chubby-cheeked little boy noticed his father watching him, and immediately wiggled his little legs and ran over.

He shouted as he ran:

"Dad, Mom, is the barbecue ready yet? I'm so hungry..."

"Almost done, almost done." Lu Li squatted down, picked up the little boy who ran over, and hugged him tightly, smiling broadly.

"Mom has forgotten what happened before. She was just asking Dad what our relationship is..."

"I know this!" the little boy said eagerly in his childish voice.

"They are husband and wife!"

"Mom and Dad are married and have done intimate things, so they are husband and wife!"

The unbridled words of children were like a hissing fuse, instantly igniting the entire scene.

The crowd under the big tree laughed so hard they were doubled over, their laughter echoing everywhere.

The joyful atmosphere almost overflowed from the air filled with the aroma of barbecue.

But Xu Xiao's face darkened at this moment.

The dazed look in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by the composure and calmness that only appears when facing battle.

"wrong……"

The moment the words left his mouth, the joyful atmosphere was instantly dampened, as if doused with cold water, and froze on the spot.

Everyone stared at Xu Xiao, their eyes fixed on him, like soulless puppets.

Lu Li's smile faded, and he looked at the woman as well, asking in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

What did you remember?

“Yes, but not entirely…” Xu Xiao spoke slowly, still deep in thought, unaware of the strange reactions from the people around him:

“I remember that our relationship was a ‘transactional one’, and I have a strong impression of that.”

"And...we are not married."

"That's right, we're not married... You might not even know I like you!"

Xu Xiao shouted out the last sentence with great excitement.

After she shouted, she belatedly realized what she had done and covered her mouth in embarrassment.

But when his gaze met those of those around him, the awkwardness quickly dissipated, replaced by deep doubt and wariness.

"I remember now, you...you're not Lu Li at all!"

Who exactly are you?

The crowd under the big tree remained silent, with only the sizzling of the meat on the grill remaining.

After a moment, Lu Li sighed softly and continued the conversation:

"We are the fantasy you most desire in your heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind Xu Xiao responded in unison, saying:

"It's what you most desire."

"What do you want?!" Xu Xiao was completely alerted by this strange situation and staggered backward.

But before he could take even half a step back, he was blocked by Lu Li.

The little boy, held tightly in his arms, clung to his arm.
