Chapter 1284 Plunder

"Wait," Wang Wei said. "Were you scared?" He asked, looking directly into her eyes. Wu Hong was calm, but he knew her better than he knew the back of his hands, so he saw the signs.

"By the blessing of the Dao," Wang Wei said in shock before laughing out loud. "The proud and mighty Empress Wu has such a moment of weakness. This is the greatest day of my life."

"I don't know what kind of delusion your mind has conjured, but don't involve me," Wu Hong replied calmly. Sadly, Wang Wei ignored her words.

"This moment will feed my existence for trillions of yuan epochs — no, for eternity," Wang Wei continued. "I will tell everyone — especially our kids. I can picture it now. When I tell them of the one time I saw their scary mother trembling in fear. Yes, I can see it. Their tiny eyes became wide in shock. Then, they'll look at me in disbelief, wondering whether the emotion known as fear could even be associated with their mother in the slightest.

"By the grace of the ancestors, this is truly the greatest moment of my life."

Wang Wei's joy was palpable, almost illuminating the private room. Meanwhile, Wu Hong was gloomy.

"If you dare utter a word, the things I'll do to you could no longer be described as unspeakable," she warned.

"It doesn't matter," Wang Wei replied, his face showing a hint of unparalleled confidence. "No matter what trials and tribulations you put me through, no matter what darkness, the fact that you were once scared is enough for me to survive anything."

"You!"

Wang Wei grinned in response. Then, a cunning light flashed in Wu Hong's eyes. Her demeanor suddenly changed as she became sad and even docile; such a temperament immediately made any man wish they could protect her. She materialized a tissue and started crying.

"How can you be so cruel? This is the first time I've shown such a vulnerable side to you, but now, you're weaponizing it against me and even our future children. How can you do such a thing?"

Wang Wei stood before her in shock. In his wildest dream, he never thought that would be her reaction. The rudeness of the situation and Wu Hong's current state instantly made him want to reach over and reassure her that he was just joking. Luckily, he immediately woke up and realized what was happening.

'Well played,' he praised in his mind. Unfortunately, she had met her match. "Okay, your little act won't work on me. Your future self sent a clone in the past to prevent me from having a harem. Our relationship was destined to have some toxicity. Accept this loss and move on."

"You bastard!' Wu Hong said, returning to her calm and authoritative self. "This is not over," she declared after putting the tissue away. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"I'm sure it's not," Wang Wei smiled. They have an eternity to spend together, so it's great for their relationship to have its uniqueness. Otherwise, they will face the same fate as most Dao Partners — getting bored of each other.

"By the way, why were you scared? Didn't you already guess about our future selves?"

"Of course I have," Wu Hong replied. "But I'm not as crazy as you to put so much faith in my so-called future self. Have you never wondered whether these people protected us as our future selves? What if they are someone else pretending to be? And even if they are ourselves, who knows how much we've changed. At their levels, the past might not matter much to them."

Wu Hong sighed.

"The entire situation seems ridiculous and unnecessarily complicated to me."

Wang Wei nodded. Of course, he's thought of all these questions and possibilities. "All I can say is firstly, we cannot interfere in these battles yet, so we have no choice but to believe. Secondly, there are no signs of a problem so far, so all I can do is keep calm, retain that level of faith, and keep my guard up if I detect or deduce some kind of anomaly."

Wu Hong looked in the distance. In this overtly complex situation, his mindset was the best choice. 'It seems I must enter the Dark Truth as soon as possible.' She realized that since the Ultimate Taboo, she might have become conservative in her actions. Otherwise, after so many years, as long as she took the risk and left the Eternal Ascension World, there are plenty of ways to heal her injuries and return to peak strength.

"Don't you have plundering to do," Wu Hong said, looking at him.
