Chapter 183: Volume 1 Chapter 183 Study Hard, Make Progress Every Day (End)

He looked at the person leaning on his shoulder, feeling especially reluctant, but thinking that after finishing things he could return quickly, and thereafter he could always be by Zhizhi's side, his mood improved a bit.

"Zhizhi, I have to go to F Guo for a trip; please rest at the hotel first, okay? I'll be back soon."

Jiang Zhi sat up straight, looking at him as he tried to explain, she remained silent for a long time, and said: "I understand."

Li Wen Nian held her hands, half-kneeling before her, his face devoid of his usual playful grin, instead full of sincere tenderness, as if making a vow: "Li Wen Nian will love only Zhizhi in this life, forever loving Zhizhi."

His confession made Jiang Zhi stare blankly; gazing at his eyes as deep as the blue sea before her, her heart stirred, and she involuntarily leaned in to kiss his lips.

"Be careful on the road."

Li Wen Nian felt the sudden kiss; his thin lips still retained softness and warmth, his heart raced, unable to control himself he licked his lips, a blush rose on his cheeks, and the curve of his mouth widened.

"Okay!"

Having said that, he rose and staggered away.

Jiang Zhi fixedly watched his retreating figure until it merged into the night.

She withdrew her gaze, rose, sat in the wheelchair, and was pushed back to the hotel by his subordinate.

The empty room left her alone; she lay flat on the bed, quietly waiting for the morning sunlight to rise.

Knife-like pain spread over her whole body; Jiang Zhi curled up, drenched in cold sweat from the agony.

777 couldn't bear it: "Host, I can help you shield these pains."

Jiang Zhi thought: "No need."

It was just some pain; she could still endure it.

She feared she might actually have a little fondness for the villain Yun Jin.

Each world creates so many clones, each one so adorable; even if Jiang Zhi's heart were as hard as stone, she's still a normal human—who could withstand that?

Enduring this pain is meant to clear her mind a bit; afterward she still has to go to several worlds to complete missions—this condition simply won't do.

777 could sense that sometimes this host of hers was stubborn yet rational.

Unlike most hosts, she never violates her principles, and her worldview is especially upright.

That's quite a find.

It's a pity that this world's villain's Hatred Value is still zero, amounting to mission failure.

What a pity.

It and the host fear they will be erased by the Main God.

However, I hope to meet her again in the next life.

With only one second left on the countdown, Jiang Zhi closed her eyes, lay on the bed, and lost all signs of life.

【Extra Chapter】

The Ulysses' old godfather, who had ruled for over fifty years, fell gravely ill and died; the news of his death was quickly reported by major national media, and the most influential legendary figure, the Black Empire's godfather, announced his death.

But who exactly is the person who will inherit his position?

The will stated that the nineteenth son, Li Shi Jiu, would inherit the godfather's position.

Li Wen Nian rushed to the funeral of the Ulysses family's old godfather, and in front of the family's influential elders, he directly passed the inheritance to his second brother Allen, even announcing his withdrawal from the Ulysses family, relinquishing all rights, and changing to his mother's surname.

This remark exploded like a bolt from the blue.

Everyone eagerly asked him why he would do that.

Li Wen Nian said nothing and left the scene.

Watching Allen follow behind, he raised his gun to Allen's chest and said: "I told you, I'll return a bullet to you."

Allen, still immersed in shock, stepped forward and demanded: "Why? Father already gave you the position; why are you giving it up?"

He simply couldn't understand: clearly it was the highest honor, yet in the eyes of that Shi Jiu he always looked down upon, it was worth nothing.

Li Wen Nian's brows and eyes were coated with a faint glow, giving an impression of gentleness; his lips curled up, his teeth gleaming white.

"I'm not telling you~"

Having said that, the bullet shot from the barrel and struck Allen's chest directly.

"This is returned to you, Allen; from now on we will never meet again."

Within the Ulysses family, all his grudges have been settled.

Allen looked down on him and had never used any tactics against him.

Therefore Li Wen Nian did not want to kill him, but the bullet fired by his subordinate that hit Zhizhi must be returned to him.

Allen, lying on the ground, dazedly fixed his gaze on his back, muttering: "It's because… of her, you gave up because of her…… why…… how could a person compare to the godfather's position……"

Leaving the funeral scene, Li Wen Nian took a car to the airport.

On the way, he suddenly received a phone call.

Li Wen Nian saw the phone number, and with his excellent memory he immediately thought of the hotel's phone.

It was Zhizhi calling him!!

Li Wen Nian happily answered, and before the other side could speak, he exclaimed excitedly: "Zhizhi, I'm heading back now; I'll be there soon~"

The receiver's voice stayed silent for a few seconds, then trembled as it said: "Nineteen… Nineteen Lord……"

Li Wen Nian frowned at the unfamiliar voice: "How are you in Zhizhi's room?"

The other side replied slowly, full of panic:

"Jiang… Miss Jiang… she… she……"

A bad premonition welled up in Li Wen Nian's heart.

The next second.

"Miss Jiang has passed away! Nineteen Lord…… please come back quickly……"

The phone slipped from his palm, struck his leg, then rolled aside and fell onto the carpet beneath his feet in the carriage.

After a long while, Li Wen Nian bent down and picked up the phone beside his foot; the call was still not disconnected, and his voice devoid of warmth: "If I find out you're deceiving me, I will make you wish you were dead."

He returned to the hotel by plane in the evening.

Li Wen Nian rushed to the twelfth floor of the hotel as fast as he could, ran to that room's door, took a deep breath, forced a smile, pushed the door open and walked in.

His subordinates had all left, too afraid to move the dead girl on the bed.

Li Wen Nian entered the bedroom and at first glance saw the person lying on the bed.

In the dim light, her face appeared especially blurred.

Li Wen Nian approached, smiling, and said: "Zhizhi, don't sleep anymore, it's time to get up and eat."

The room fell into dead silence; besides his voice, no sound responded to his words.

His Zhizhi had left.

She had left him.

She had left him forever.

【Villain Li Wen Nian's Hatred Value rises】

【Hatred Value breaks through the limit! Continues to rise!】

【Congratulations, Host, all your missions have been completed.】

Jiang Zhi floated in the air, looking down at the boy slumped at the bedside, who had fallen into a frenzy.

"777" whispered: "Host, the mission is already completed."

It had seen this scene too many times; Li Wen Nian had killed many people in his lifetime, done all kinds of evil, lacking humanity and any human emotion.

Without the Host, Li Wen Nian's ending would be to end his life in endless, boring time, feeling that life is meaningless, unable to sense any positive emotional fluctuation, like a killing machine devoid of feeling.

But with the Host's intervention, he finally gained genuine human emotions; his present sorrow and despair, as well as his previous happiness and joy, are all feelings he acquired after becoming human.
