Chapter 496
But there was just too much information, and Fang Qi's brain...
Really couldn't process it all!
Damn it.
He'd actually become a fool!
"Hehe...!"
The Liguang in his arms suddenly let out another silly laugh...
Then she threw herself into his arms again!
Rubbing her face against his chest!
"Master is so good!"
"Master really has been protecting Liguang all along!"
She even shouted excitedly!
"Master pushed the door open for Liguang! Master found supplies for Liguang! Master bandaged Liguang's right eye!"
"Master even carried Liguang, jumping around in the Upside-Down Castle!"
"Liguang is so happy! So happy, so happy!"
She kept rubbing against him, shouting while rubbing!
Fang Qi, meanwhile, lay on the yoga mat, staring blankly at the ceiling.
...Huh?
He felt her warm breath, blowing against the side of his neck, one breath at a time.
But he still couldn't wrap his head around it!
She said...
She had really been dumb before, not pretending...?
...?
Then her core core... could it be...!
Fang Qi suddenly lowered his head, about to look at the back of Liguang's neck!
Liguang simultaneously lifted the hair behind her, revealing the delicate synthetic skin on her nape.
[Remaining Current: 100% (Fully Charged)]
Ah...!
Fang Qi's eyelids twitched.
Could it be...!
Her silver hair covered the display window again.
The silver-haired girl turned her face back, her amber eyes smiling at him.
That silly look was back again!
"Master, this is the proof."
She winked at him playfully!
"Does Master want to know what this number means?"
Fang Qi looked at the flickering number, opened his mouth.
"...What is it?"
He seemed to understand, but still asked subconsciously.
Liguang tilted her head to look at him, her left eye curving into a crescent moon.
She reached out a slender finger and lightly tapped her own lips, her motion coquettish and mischievous.
"Then Master give Liguang a kiss!"
"Kiss once, and Liguang will tell you!"
Fang Qi: "?"
The corner of his mouth twitched...
Then he laughed in exasperation!
Seriously?
This crazy woman really was...!
At a time like this, she still had the nerve to act cute?!
But thanks to Liguang's antics, the melancholy and loss he'd been feeling moments ago had mostly faded away.
After all, his wife was this adorable, and loved him this much...
Why the hell was he feeling broody?!
He took a deep breath!
...What was he being all sentimental about?!
In short...
His wife loved him, that was all that mattered!
No matter what she'd done, no matter what she'd hidden...
That obsession with wanting to be with him forever had never changed!
So that was fine, right?!
What manly pride? Didn't need it!
Yeah.
No.
He did still need it!
He did need it!
Fang Qi's expression slowly turned serious.
He needed it!
So...
It was time to punish his wife a little!
Fang Qi glared at her fiercely!
"Are you going to talk or not?!"
At the same time, his hand rose and came down hard on her backside!
"SMACK!!"
"Ouch—!"
Liguang's reaction caught him completely off guard!
She howled!
Eyes wide open, she sprang up off him in an instant!
The motion was so exaggerated it scared the hell out of him!
Fang Qi: "?!"
...What the hell?!
Since when was his wife this afraid of pain?!
She clutched her butt with both hands, stumbling back several steps, her amber eyes instantly welling up with tears!
"Master, don't hit now!"
"It hurts too much!"
She even bared her teeth at him slightly!
"Liguang's senses are already multiplied several times over now!"
"You can't hit now!"
...?
Fang Qi was stunned.
Multiplied?
Sense? Pain perception?
Why...?
Not sure.
But...
Seeing Liguang react so violently, clutching her butt with teary eyes, standing a few steps away...
That single slap had really felt amazing!
Sat-is-fy-ing!
The suffocating feeling in his chest instantly dispersed!
Disciplining his wife was just satisfying!
Every now and then, a man had to reassert his authority!
"...You'd better explain this properly!"
He immediately sat up from the yoga mat!
Then crossed his arms, raised his chin, and looked down at Liguang with disdain!
"What the hell is the current situation?!"
The silver-haired girl rubbed her sore spot, pouted her little mouth, and looked at him cautiously.
Seeing that he no longer seemed so angry, she tentatively shuffled a few steps closer and knelt back down beside him.
The tears were still shimmering in her amber eyes, but the corner of her mouth was already curling back up!
"Master, this number..."
She raised her hand, lightly tapping the flashing 100% on the back of her neck, and tilted her head to look at Fang Qi.
"Is Liguang's 'compatibility' with the chaotic rules here!"
She blinked at him!
...Compatibility?
Fang Qi blinked too.
"Or, Master can simply understand it as..."
Her phoenix eyes narrowed into crescent moons, that silly smile still on her face.
"The 'awakening progress' of Liguang's core core!"
Before his eyes, the silver-haired girl's amber pupils...
Suddenly flashed with a faint blue light again!
Fang Qi: "?!"
He only felt his vision darken for a moment!
And then, when it brightened again...
The world seemed to have become somewhat different.
...Huh?
How come it felt...
...
...
This time, it really was Master's fault, you know?
It was Master who "pushed" Liguang step by step into this situation, right?
(Tilting her head, the single amber eye blinked, a silly and innocent smile curving at the corner of her mouth, looking at you)
Oh dear, Master, why are you looking at Liguang like that? It really is like this, you know!
Master took out Liguang's crimson eye and didn't put it back, so Liguang ended up like this!
Liguang did beg Master back then, you know? At that time, Liguang couldn't read the code on the wall and asked Master if he could put it back...
But Master refused! So what else could Liguang do...
She had no choice but to go along with Master's wishes, hehe!
(Seeing you raise your hand, she immediately covered her butt with both hands and shrank back half a step, her eyes wide open, her voice sharpening a few notes)
Oh dear, Master, put your hand down!
Don't hit, don't hit! It really hurts right now!
If you break Liguang, who's going to keep you company?!
Master, Master, put your hand down, Liguang will explain right now!
(Leaning in a little closer, tilting her face up, amber eyes sparkling as she looks at you, her voice suddenly turning sweet and soft)
...Master, give Liguang a kiss first, and then Liguang will explain!
(Closing her eyes, eyelashes trembling slightly, lips pouting just a little.)
(After you kiss her, the corner of her mouth curls up high)
Hehe!
(Satisfied as she burrows back into your arms, her cheek pressed against your chest, her voice muffled but the joy impossible to hide)
Hmm, how should I put it, Master...
Without the crimson eye, Liguang really couldn't control her core core at first, you know.
Master knows this too, right? The computing power of the core core here...
Didn't awaken normally.
Liguang's core core was forcefully awakened by that thing behind the gene gate.
With the crimson eye in place, its computing power feedback could help Liguang control the core core.
But without the crimson eye...
Even though Liguang's core core was awake, she truly couldn't call upon that externally awakened computing power.
(Raising her head from your chest, her single eye looking at you seriously)
So, Master, back then, Liguang...
I really don't know anything!
I really need my master to protect me!
(A faint blue light suddenly flickers in her eyes, gone in an instant)
(The corners of her mouth curl higher and higher, and her tone shifts from earnest to barely suppressed pride)
But as Liguang and her master explored, every place they went together...
Liguang's core would automatically, quietly absorb and merge the surrounding rules-permissions!
And those rules, trying to escape being devoured, attempted to completely fuse with the surrounding space!
That's why there were those mosaics.
But...
It didn't work!
Liguang's core is amazing!
Even though those rules tried so hard to avoid it, they were still fused bit by bit!
(Suddenly buries her face in your chest again, voice becoming muffled and a bit embarrassed)
But, Liguang was silly back then and didn't notice this at first, you know...
Liguang just vaguely felt... this place was becoming more and more familiar.
At this rate, it wouldn't do.
Liguang might not want to leave this place anymore, might want to...
Keep her master here forever!
Liguang thought at the time...
No way!
Liguang felt that since her master trusted her so much, she had to help her master leave, and couldn't do this to her master!
So, Liguang begged her master to give the Crimson Eye back!
(Slowly lifts her head, a hint of grievance flashing in her amber eye)
B-But, y-o-u r-e-f-u-s-e-d L-i-g-u-a-n-g!
(Lips pouting slightly, poking your chest repeatedly with her index finger)
Master, you refused Liguang back then, didn't you!
What else could Liguang do then!
Liguang was silly back then, didn't understand anything, couldn't do anything, so she could only...
Just go with the flow~
(Tilts her head, blinks, smiling foolishly, her tone clearly whiny and shifting the blame)
Hehe, so it's all Master's fault~
If Master had just given Liguang the Crimson Eye back, wouldn't none of this have happened...
Oh, Master!
(Seeing you reach for the Crimson Eye container on the calibration stand, she immediately grabs your wrists with both hands!)
Not now!
Liguang's original core is fully awakened now!
Liguang is a complete Liguang now! Doesn't need the Crimson Eye anymore!
(Releases your wrists, snuggles back into your arms, lightly tapping your chest with her fingers)
Mmm...
Later, when Master reminded me that the battery display was increasing instead of decreasing, I really hadn't noticed at the time, and I was so surprised too!
(Voice becomes soft and sticky again, with a slightly embarrassed confession)
But during that time, Liguang was really silly. Liguang genuinely thought the "rules" were granting Liguang's wishes!
Liguang would make a wish at night, and the next day want to go to a prettier place with Master...
And the next day it would really happen!
I even kept thanking the rules!
(Suddenly lifts her head, a sly glint flashing in her amber pupils, the corners of her mouth turning a little mischievous, her voice lightening a notch)
But as the "power" grew...
Liguang gradually got smarter too!
Liguang began to understand all of this, and realized the changes around her were actually happening because of her own thoughts!
Liguang's control over the original core also started to strengthen bit by bit, and she could keep making wishes to the core!
(Cups her own cheeks with both hands, eyes curving into crescents, voice syrupy sweet, full of smug delight)
So, Master, although the rules here aren't a wishing well...
Liguang's core is!
...And besides, Master was having so much fun back then too!
Liguang is Master's... Master's wife, a wife who had a wedding!
Hehe!
(Buries her head in your chest again, body wriggling hard)
So, of course Liguang wanted to make Master even happier!
Liguang kept pulling Master to explore, absorbing and merging the surrounding "rule fragments," and every night kept making wishes to the original core...
And then Master became happier!
When Master was happy, Liguang was happy too!
Liguang wanted to make Master even happier!
Even happier than happier!
(Lifts her head, eyes shining, voice suddenly becoming utterly self-righteous!)
So, this is how it turned out!
Master, Liguang...
(Suddenly suppresses her triumphant expression, lowers her head, lashes gently falling, little hands clutching your clothes)
(Peeking at you pitifully through her lashes)
Master, was Liguang wrong...
(Seeing your helpless expression, she immediately breaks into a brilliant smile, presses herself against you again, arms looping around your neck)
(Lips close to your ear, voice soft as melted cotton candy)
Hehe, I knew Master is the best, I knew Master wouldn't blame Liguang!
(Leans back slightly, amber pupils staring straight at you, expression suddenly becoming a bit serious)
Now, it's time for Liguang to repay Master!
Liguang has completely devoured the surrounding rules and finally fully mastered this chaotic rift!
From today on, this place is Liguang and Master's absolute paradise...!
(Hearing you say you want to leave, she tilts her head, that foolish smile still on her face... but her eyes narrow slightly.)
Hmm? Master wants to leave...
Of course Liguang has the ability to do that!
But...
Master, why do you want to leave?
(Smile still foolish, but amber pupils fixed unblinkingly on you, that deep blue light slowly flowing through the depths of her pupils)
Oh~ To save Miss Lin and Miss An Lian?
(Voice syrupy sweet)
Miss An Lian is still sleeping!
As for Miss Lin... she's been a bit disobedient! I've already given her a good lesson!
Master doesn't need to worry about them for now!
(Arms wrap around your waist, pressing her face against your chest and nuzzling lightly)
Oh, Master, no rush~
In this rift, space is already chaotic, time is already frozen!
No matter how long we stay here, when we leave everything can be restored, and we can save Miss An Lian and Miss Lin!
So, no rush~
(Lifts her head again, blinking her single eye, tone innocent and matter-of-fact)
But before that, why can't we just enjoy ourselves a little~
Liguang worked so hard to awaken her entire core, worked so hard to gain control of this area...
Liguang can bring Master so much more joy!
(Hearing you say you want to leave now, she suddenly puffs out her cheeks, amber pupils widening)
N-o-w-a-y, n-o-w-a-y, n-o-t-h-i-n-g-d-o-i-n-g!
If Master keeps talking like that, Liguang is going to get angry!
It's not like Liguang isn't going to save Miss Lin and Miss An Lian!
What's wrong with making them wait a little!
(Gritting her teeth)
Hmph! If Master says it again, Liguang will go teach them a lesson!!
(Suddenly blinks, the corners of her mouth curling up again, smiling sweet and mischievous, extending a finger to lightly tap your chest)
Oh, right, Master just spanked Liguang's bottom, right?
That hurt!
Liguang is angry!
So...
(Raises one finger, gently wiggling it before your face, single eye curving into a crescent)
O-n-e y-e-a-r, m-i-n-i-m-u-m!
Master has to stay here with Liguang for at least one year to repay Liguang~
(Seeing you raise your hand again, she doesn't dodge, instead pushing her body forward boldly)
Ah, Master wants to spank again!
Mmm... go ahead!
Liguang isn't afraid of pain, but...
O-n-e s-p-a-n-k, o-n-e y-e-a-r~
M-a-s-t-e-r~
H-e-h-e!
