A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

"Beep beep beep—Alarm! Alarm! Intruder! Alarm—"

A red light flashed amidst the steel buildings, as rows of laser cannons shot out beams of light, chasing a figure that dodged and weaved between the buildings.

"What kind of magical treasure is this! It's so fast! Even when I've concealed my aura, it can still chase after me and attack!"

A sound of despair came from the figure, who then flashed and hid around the corner ahead. The laser beam grazed past him, kicking up plumes of dust.

"What was this house built with? How could it remain completely intact after an attack of this magnitude?"

Another laser beam streaked across the sky, but luckily this was a blind spot, so as long as we didn't go outside, we'd be fine.

The man wiped the dust off his face and then ran his fingers through his hair. "Tsk, my hair's all messed up. I hope Qingqing won't dislike me when she sees this."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a beam of light swept across the blind spot from afar, illuminating the face of the newcomer.

It was none other than Lu Chuci, who had already entered the Nascent Soul Realm—but here, his power was completely useless.

"Beep beep—Intruder detected—"

The alarm sounded again, echoing throughout the entire complex, and a miniature laser cannon rose from an extremely hidden dark spot, clicking as it aimed at him.

Lu Chuci cursed under his breath, and with another quick movement, he narrowly escaped through the dense, narrow laser beams once again.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard a frantic "beep beep beep" sound ahead, like a trap symphony.

Lu Chuci looked up and his pupils contracted sharply—small holes slowly opened up in the metal wall in front of him, and countless dark laser cannons were aimed at him at the same time!

All those attacks were meant to lure him in this direction!

What's going on?! How could he predict all his movements so accurately?!

The place where his wife lives is so fierce!

Can't escape!

Lu Chuci frowned deeply, suddenly sat down cross-legged on the spot, and used all her spiritual power to defend her vital points.

I just hope these lasers can't penetrate him—

Finished!

When all the rays were suddenly fired, Lu Chuci's vision was suddenly filled with bright white light. In that instant, he realized that he had no chance of resisting this attack!

Cold sweat instantly broke out all over her body, and Lu Chuci's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her chest.

Just then, he suddenly heard a soft laugh—a familiar sound that made his heart instantly sink back into his chest.

"Sorry, I'm taking her with me!"

"It's you again! It was you last time too! And now again?! Is your intelligence organization really this capricious?"

Suddenly, a furious voice rang out from the air, sounding as if someone was about to vomit blood.

The laser cannon in front of him was shut down by some unknown means. The white light disappeared, and before Lu Chuci could regain his vision, a fragrance entered his nostrils. A soft, boneless arm wrapped around his waist, but it also burst out with great strength to gently lift him up and run in the opposite direction.

This time, Lu Chuci clearly heard the voice in her ear: "First of all, I didn't accomplish anything when I came here last time! Instead, I was seriously injured by your explosion! Consider this person your apology to me!"

Finally, leaving with a dashing "bye," Ye Qingxue instantly left the building and vanished without a trace.

All that could be heard behind him was a drawn-out roar: "My base has been blown to smithereens! Who can I complain to?!"

—

The wind howled, and the scenery around her rushed past. Ye Qingxue turned a few street corners, found an amusement park, slowly slowed down, and stopped.

She breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, we escaped!"

After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Lu Chuci speak. She looked to the side in confusion and saw that Lu Chuci still had her eyes closed.

Ye Qingxue was startled: "Lu Chuci? What's wrong? Are your eyes bothering you? Are you injured?"

She waited a while longer, and Lu Chuci still kept her eyes closed, but her Adam's apple bobbed faster, accompanied by soft sobs.

Ye Qingxue suddenly realized something: "Lu Chuci? You cried?"

As expected, Lu Chuci immediately turned her head to the side: "No!"

He said no, but his hoarse voice betrayed him.

Lu Chuci felt a little embarrassed and pursed her lips, wanting to say something more, but the next second she was hugged tightly.

He could have easily broken free from that force with a slight struggle, but he was as if he had been frozen in place, unable to move. His heart was swollen with a bittersweet feeling, but it was no longer empty.

He heard a soft voice in his ear say, "Lu Chuci, I miss you too."

Lu Chuci could no longer hold back, tears streaming down his face. He raised his hand and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

The amusement park was full of couples, so their behavior wasn't strange. However, some passersby would occasionally express their envy at their intimacy.

The two hugged for a while, and only when they were sure that the other person was really in front of them did Lu Chuci let go.

As soon as he let go, he looked Ye Qingxue up and down with his bloodshot eyes.

Ye Qingxue was amused by his gaze and rubbed her eyes, saying, "Lu Chuci, I'm really fine now."

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because it was enough to make Lu Chuci explode. He raised an eyebrow: "You still dare to say that! Why did you—"

"Alright, alright!" Ye Qingxue quickly raised her hand to stop him. "Why are you bringing up old grievances? We just reunited, and you're already going to scold me?"

Perhaps because they had just experienced a near-death experience before meeting again, Ye Qingxue acted coquettishly with remarkable naturalness.

Lu Chuci's expression froze on her face. After a while, the tips of her ears turned red, and her voice softened: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more about you."

Ye Qingxue revealed a triumphant smile: "How about it? It's your first time on my turf, shall I show you around?"

At this point, Lu Chuci really wanted to ask, "Your world is so scary! So many spiritual treasures piled up like that! Is there enough spiritual energy?"

Ye Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Are you stupid? That's not a magic treasure!"

"what is that?"

"Hmm, I'll introduce it to you slowly later. Let me show you around for today!"

Lu Chuci asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are we playing? By the way, the clothes people here wear are completely different from mine. Should I change? And what about my hair—"

"No need, there are plenty of people who do cosplay!" Ye Qingxue took his hand and led him towards the entrance of the mobile game amusement park. "I'll take you to experience the beauty of our world!"

"Qingqing! Slow down! Come on, let me carry you!"

"Lu Chuci! Stop being so clingy—"

"do not want!"

……

"Ahhh—" As the drop tower reached its highest level, Lu Chuci screamed almost uncontrollably, as she flew to such a height for the first time without any spiritual power to protect her.

"Lu Chuci, look into the distance!" Ye Qingxue shouted.

The mechanical countdown was playing, the chair was swaying, and Lu Chuci opened her eyes and looked into the distance.

Under the brilliant sunset, colorful balloons fluttered around the sales area, gradually being carried away by bouncing children; cheers erupted from the other side as dolphins completed a difficult performance; at a lavishly decorated "photo spot," a couple was arguing, the boy patiently and affectionately coaxing the girl, and soon she was smiling again.

Lu Chuci suddenly froze, and her heart felt like it was about to explode as she fell.

It turns out that this place not only contains dangerous, man-eating haunted buildings, but also a dreamlike and beautiful amusement park—a miracle that ordinary people can create.

Those cultivators once said that it is because of emotions that ordinary people have weaknesses and become vulnerable.

But that's not right.

In Lu Chuci's world, the people's reliance on each other gives rise to the power of belief, the separation of loved ones inspires people to face life and death with courage, and the emotion called protection drives countless soldiers to rush to the battlefield where they have a slim chance of survival.

Touching emotions are enough to heal all wounds, and emotions are by no means a symbiotic relationship with weakness.

It teaches people about love and strength.

Because of emotions, flesh and blood can grow armor, and the desire to survive gives rise to wisdom, which is why the long history of mankind has shone so brightly.

Everyone becomes stronger through love, and civilization flourishes through love.

Just as the drop tower reached its lowest point and bounced back up, Lu Chuci turned her head and shouted to Ye Qingxue—

"I love you!"

Ye Qingxue paused for a moment, then turned to look at him, her eyes crinkling with a smile, a glimmer of light reflected in them.

"I love you too!"
