I’ll live well—for your expectations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fastened the heart-shaped butterfly pendant around his neck, carefully packed the remaining items back into the suitcase, and stored it in the 【Nanospace】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he prepared to leave the room, his gaze fell again on the full-length mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked back to the mirror, took a deep breath, and activated the 【Analytical Glasses】 to view his own information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Name: Bai Yue】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Codename: Zero, Zero-Number】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Age: 3000 years】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Nationality: Dragon Nation】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Identity: Dragon Nation’s Young Marshal, Creator, Time Patrol Officer—Zero-Number…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Relative—Father: Bai Feng (Deceased)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Relative—Mother: Sun Mingyue (Deceased)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sister: Bai Yun, T0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Personal Information: …】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After unlocking his sealed memories, a flood of information now lay bare before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Father and Mother were still alive, they would surely be proud of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sealed his memories at age five hundred—and now 2500 years had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he turned around, he found Luo Li standing at the room’s entrance, having arrived without his notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yue walked to Luo Li, pulled her into his arms, and whispered softly: “I’m back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome back, Bai Yue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry—I made you wait so long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you say that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hearing it made her furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She broke free from his embrace, grabbed his cheeks, and pouted: “I waited nearly 3000 years and you didn’t change a bit—but in three years in another world, you changed! Tell me, what’s wrong with me!? If you don’t give me a proper answer today, I’ll… I’ll…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What will you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stammered for a long time, unable to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her flushed, alluring face, Bai Yue swept her up in a bridal carry, sat on the bed with her, gripped her wrists, and leaned down to meet her captivating eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Li, it’s my fault—I’ve wronged you. For the rest of my life, I’ll make it up to you. You can hit me, yell at me—I’ll accept it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Li’s cheeks flushed crimson; she turned her face away but still muttered stubbornly: “Who said I’d hit or yell at you? I… I couldn’t possibly… I’m just angry you changed so late!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yue chuckled softly and kissed her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mwah~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Li huffed but stopped struggling, instead wrapping her arms around his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long moments passed before their lips parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yue helped Luo Li rise from the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pouted, glaring at him with a wounded look, then pounced like a tiger, clinging to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled open his collar and bit down hard on his shoulder, leaving a clear row of teeth marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow!
