Chapter 1944

Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly, "By the way, aren't you curious what the other Kato Megumi is doing today?"

Kato Megumi gently propped her chin on her hand and said, "I am a little curious. But now is for playing—talking about others won't do."

She walked closer, fixing her gaze on him.

Kato Megumi felt her heart flutter like a startled deer, her cheeks burning, yet she did not retreat.

"What do you think of me, Taixuan-jun?"

Zhang Taixuan reached out gently, pulling Kato Megumi into his arms, answering her with action.

He was no wooden man.

Since Kato Megumi had taken one step toward him, the rest would be his to take.

Kato Megumi's anxious heart instantly calmed, filled only with warmth; she reached out softly, looping her arms around Zhang Taixuan's neck and leaned in…

"Truly speechless."

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Uta was strolling with Hina, watching her counterpart in this world retreat and surrender the opportunity—her heart went numb.

"If not for my figure, I might already bear the title of Defeated Dog Immortal."

Hina, seeing Kasumigaoka Uta suddenly fall silent, asked, "What's wrong?"

Kasumigaoka Uta pointed to the Ferris wheel rising high, brushing her finger lightly through empty air—Hina instantly saw two figures now pressed close together.

They clung like glue, making Hina blush.

She never imagined Kato Megumi could be so forward.

"Th-this…" Hina gasped, "Won't others see this?"

Kasumigaoka Uta laughed, "Relax—only the two of us can see it."

In truth, unless one was close to him, Zhang Taixuan didn't care—Kasumigaoka Uta's cultivation level couldn't possibly spy on Zhang Taixuan's privacy.

"That's a relief!"

"And how did they end up together so fast?"

Hina was utterly baffled, "They just met, didn't they?"

Kasumigaoka Uta sighed, "What else? How else could Kato Megumi be called Saint Megumi? She understands perfectly well—next time she wants to meet the Dao Lord, it won't be so easy. If she doesn't seize this chance now, she'll wait forever."

Hina nodded, "That's true."

Now that the Dao Lord is powerful, he rarely visits ordinary worlds.

If not for this world being deeply familiar to him, he wouldn't have come at all.

If this were truly a dating game, waiting for the "right moment" would be hopeless—by the time the Dao Lord remembered this world again, everyone here might be long dead.

"So, won't you warn the other Kasumigaoka Uta?"

Kasumigaoka Uta shook her head, "What good would warning her do? She's practically another Defeated Dog Immortal."

Thinking back on her own past, wasn't she the same?

Loud and filthy with words, yet cowardly in action.

Hearing "Defeated Dog Immortal," Hina gritted her teeth, "Can you please stop saying that?"

The thought of her shame spreading across countless worlds filled her with bitter hatred.

Maruto the traitor—I swear enmity with you!

"Hehe…"

Kasumigaoka Uta paid no mind, changing the subject, "By the way, let's go find them—they should be coming down soon."

"So soon?" Hina was stunned.

Kasumigaoka Uta was speechless, "What are you thinking? The Master merely kissed Kato Megumi—do you really expect them to burn with passion on the Ferris wheel?"

Hina's face flushed red.

Her doujinshi mindset had kicked in again.

Following behind Kasumigaoka Uta, the two quickly found the other Kasumigaoka Uta.

She was at a cold drink shop, clutching a milk tea, calming her emotions.

Seeing them, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you want some?"

Hina nodded lightly, "Yes—besides, it won't make me fat!"

Kasumigaoka Uta: "I'll have one too—those old flavors are truly nostalgic."

The three sipped their milk teas, and soon after, Zhang Taixuan and Kato Megumi approached.

Zhang Taixuan's expression remained unchanged.

Kato Megumi's usually calm eyes now held a hint of allure; her Bai Xi cheeks still bore a faint blush.

"Let's keep playing!"

None of them asked what had happened on the Ferris wheel; Kasumigaoka Uta suggested it, and the three resumed searching for their favorite attractions.

Until evening, the group of five had a wonderful time.

Hina noticed Kato Megumi always sought chances to be alone with the Dao Lord.

At first, she still avoided it, pretending to be aloof.

By evening, Kato Megumi no longer hid it—she openly held Zhang Taixuan's hand, making Hina exclaim, "So bold!"

She could never do such a thing herself.

The other Kasumigaoka Uta seethed inwardly: "We've only just met—how can you be so eager? Where's your feminine reserve? Where's your dignity?"

At parting time.

Kato Megumi suddenly asked, "Dao Lord, may I visit the Great Luo Heaven?"

Zhang Taixuan smiled, "Of course."

With a thought, he pressed a finger to Kato Kei's third eye, and instantly, a pure white lotus mark appeared there.

"You now have access to the Great Luo Heaven. When you're ready, you may enter anytime."

Kato Kei was surprised; she hadn't expected the Dao Lord to be even more direct than she was.

Kasahara Uta said, "Husband, what about me, Kasahara's little sister?"

Saying this, she gazed helplessly at Kasahara Uta.

I've worked this hard, and you still couldn't seize even one chance? No wonder you're destined to be a side character alongside the Defeated Dog Immortal.

Zhang Taixuan nodded lightly, naturally understanding Kasahara Uta's thoughts.

With a thought, a lotus mark also appeared on Kasahara Uta's third eye.

Having done this, he turned to Higurashi Ririko: "As for Higurashi Ririko, just contact her in the chat group when the time comes."

Saying this, he left with Kasahara Uta.

After the two departed, Kasahara Uta exhaled in relief and looked at the calm Kato Kei. "Kato junior, why were you in such a hurry?"

"If you like someone, seize the chance," Kato Kei said, as if she'd anticipated this. "If you miss the moment and regret it later, what good will that do? Fortunately, the other Kasahara senior gave you the opportunity—otherwise, you'd never have a chance to enter the Great Luo Heaven again."

Kasahara Uta naturally understood Kato Kei's words.

But deep down, she was terrified and dared not take the initiative.

If they'd met a few times, it would be different.

But would the other person even give such an opportunity?

Status and position differ, so the rules differ too. Kasahara Uta's rules only work on those of equal status—useless against someone whose status is absurdly higher.

After all, the higher one's status, the more women surround them, and the less time they have to play love games; if you don't make a lasting impression the first time,

there will be no future chance to meet.

Even if you do meet again, will they even remember who you are?
