Chapter 46: Proud Scholar x Elite Lawyer 04

In the living room of the apartment.

Xie Qingjia lay silently on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts in turmoil, his fingers unconsciously fidgeting with the sofa.

Memories of the past flooded his mind, as he recalled his relationships with Shen Du and Qin Jingchuan.

Shen Du and he had progressed from friends to lovers; he had developed feelings for Shen Du after their marriage, a case of love blooming after marriage.

Qin Jingchuan and he had jumped straight to being lovers; he had cultivated feelings for Qin Jingchuan before their marriage, a case of love growing over time.

They got along very well, and both Shen Du and Qin Jingchuan took care of all his little details and grew with him.

Shen Du and Qin Jingchuan had shown him deep affection, and he had returned it with genuine feelings.

But, this is already two different worlds!

He felt it was about time to move on, and there was no need to continue their past connections.

System 729 returned to find its host sprawled on the sofa, deep in thought, a big question mark appearing above his head. Confused, it asked, [Host, what are you thinking about?]

The handsome young man stroked his chin and said, “System, I’ve encountered the reincarnation of the Demon God again.”

System 729: I really appreciate it!

It had just gone to Huaxia to retrieve the main character’s golden finger, and the Torch Dragon had already latched onto its host again. Was this guy unshakable?

After inquiring with the Fast Travel Bureau, it had confirmed that Shen Du and Qin Jingchuan were the same soul, and that they were indeed the Demon God.

On the surface, they claimed to be reclusive, but in reality, they had already reincarnated in the three thousand worlds, probably having a reincarnation in each world.

So, it wasn’t surprised by the Demon God’s reincarnation, but rather by how quickly he had latched onto the host.

System 729: [He’s a Torch Dragon, not a dog, how did he sniff you out so quickly!]

The young man lowered his eyelids, “What do you think he means by this?”

He even started to theorize, “Is he really fond of me, or does he see me as a challenging love game?”

System 729: [He probably likes you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t follow you through lifetimes. He could have just gone back to the Xuanxu World and taken you away.]

[Don’t forget, he’s a deity!]

To be honest, if the Demon God really wanted to take the celestial being from the Heavenly Realm, few could stop him, not even the host’s sister and brother-in-law.

Now, the Demon God is just constantly reincarnating and meeting the host in mission worlds, pursuing him, which is already a sign of restraint.

“God, it’s really quite troublesome.”

The deer spirit inside Xie Qingjia sighed, sat up straight, and said, “I’ve decided. Since I can’t shake him off, I’ll keep him around. After all, he doesn’t interfere with my missions.”

Once he earns enough virtue, he will go into seclusion to significantly enhance his cultivation, at least to strengthen his resistance.

To avoid being packed away by the Torch Dragon!

As for feelings, the future is long, who knows what will happen.

Even if he really falls for the Torch Dragon, why should he be afraid to admit it? The Heavenly Realm doesn’t oppose their marriage and even encourages it, given the shortage of immortals!

If he truly falls in love with the Demon God in the future, he will marry him straightforwardly; if he doesn’t, he will treat it as a long-term relationship and eventually break it off clearly.

He chuckled, “I’m worrying over nothing.”

System 729: [Let’s not talk about your personal matters for now. I’ve brought back the main character’s golden finger.]

It transmitted the ring that could absorb others’ luck to the host’s hand.

Xie Qingjia pinched the silver ring, examining it closely. The intricate patterns were very ancient.

The more he looked, the more annoyed he felt.

He was too lazy to investigate further and directly used his divine power to crush the ring, “Filthy things that shouldn’t exist should be completely eradicated.”

“Without this thing, I want to see how Kong Liang can continue his evil deeds!”

System 729: [Host, the luck gathered by the main character is slowly returning to its original owner, and your luck is also coming back.]

[Believe me, it won’t be long before the luck he stole from his family and friends disappears, and that will be his downfall.]

Xie Qingjia nodded slightly, “Understood.”

Without the golden finger, the main character is powerless and is destined to fail without any effort from him.

“Go back to the Xuanxu World and ask my sister for more information about the Demon God.”

System 729: [Why do you need to know about the Demon God?]

Xie Qingjia lightly rubbed his fingertips, “Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will win a hundred battles.”

Since he is dating the reincarnation of the Demon God, he needs to understand him better.

Before, he only saw him as a legend, but now he can no longer treat him as just a character in a book; he is a real person standing before him.

System 729: [Alright~_~]

It had just returned and was already being sent off again by its host, without even a moment to rest.

Rila Law Firm.

Oberon sat in his office, his eyes fixed on the skyscrapers outside.

The person he liked was among them.

It had been two days since he impulsively confessed his feelings, and Xie Qingjia still hadn’t given him a reply.

Originally, he should have chosen a romantic place and prepared a sincere confession, but when he saw the young man walking through the crowd, he suddenly didn’t want to wait any longer.

He was unwilling to be just a friend and didn’t want to watch from a distance.

He was very greedy…

“Qingjia, my love~”

“I want to stand by your side openly, I want to live in your world forever.”

“Forever, forever!”

Oberon lowered his eyes, looking at the bustling traffic below, a strange restlessness rising within him.

He hoped his love would also like him, not just one-sided infatuation.

Love requires mutual effort.

But his love was still young, a twenty-one-year-old who couldn’t help but be attracted to the outside world. How could he fall in love and marry him?

Even Oberon, who was smooth in his career, couldn’t help but worry about matters of the heart, and he had been in a low mood for two days.

He sighed softly, “Qingjia, how much longer do you need to think before you answer me?”

Avel walked into the office and stepped behind Oberon, patting his shoulder and saying softly, “Oberon, are you still waiting for that Eastern beauty’s reply?”

Oberon turned to look at him, “Yes, he still won’t see me.”

Avel raised an eyebrow and said, “My friend, you can’t just wait around when pursuing a boyfriend.”

“There’s a saying in Huaxia: ‘A fierce woman fears a persistent man.’ There’s some truth to it.”

Oberon frowned and asked, “Won’t he hate me if I keep pestering him?”

Avel clicked his tongue, “It depends on the situation. In your case, it works. The person you like hasn’t directly rejected you and is willing to consider it, which means you have a chance.”

“So, you need to seize the opportunity and establish your relationship.”

“Just waiting won’t get you anywhere.”

“Thanks, I’ll treat you to a meal sometime.” Oberon quickly picked up the suit beside him and left the office, heading straight for Xie Qingjia’s apartment.
