Lord of the Myriad Worlds

"Of course Second Aunt and the others won't agree. That's why I directly sought you out! Let's talk openly and honestly. Li Wei, you said it before, that you would give me an opportunity to defeat you. You can't go back on your word! In this lifetime, I am already your person. What's wrong with me wanting to have a gloriously radiant curtain-call performance before marrying to become a woman of the Li family?"

Hathaway unexpectedly even became cocky.

"This is you Unreasonable Pestering—these two matters fundamentally cannot be mentioned in the same breath."

"I'm Unreasonable Pestering? So you think my Comprehensive Strength is inferior to yours? We can have a competition! Whether it's going to the All-Heavens Arena, or competing in Internal Affairs, competing in troop training, competing in plotting—in all aspects, you surnamed Li, lay down the rules. We'll do best two out of three, do you dare or not?"

Looking at Hathaway's incomparably serious appearance, Li Wei couldn't help but laugh dumbly. "Was this instructed by Lady Night Owl?"

"You're overthinking it. It's me who is unconvinced. I want to prove myself."

Hathaway suddenly sat down like she was deflated. "I'm unconvinced. Why is it always you winning? Why do I have to play a supporting role for you? Why do I have to become your mistress, instead of you being my paramour!"

"Is there a difference between the two? Calm down first."

"I am very calm. Do you know this opportunity is once in a millennium, Li Wei? If there wasn't this opportunity, I might have just accepted my fate. Really, I like you quite a bit. Although at the very beginning I just wanted to act out of spite towards Teacher, but sometimes I am clear that I must accept my fate. Depending on you and helping you succeed will in turn help me succeed. I understand all of this. But... but this opportunity... you fundamentally don't understand how important it is!"
