~8 min read 1,516 words

"This name was given to me by my parents," the voice said. "I am their only child, and their pride!"

Hearing these words, Zeus's eyes narrowed, filled with icy glint.

This man's aura was simply too overwhelming; even through a wall, one could clearly feel the intense oppressive pressure within.

"Apollo is already dead, stop clinging to illusions," the voice said, its tone still indifferent.

"So what? My brother has already been resurrected, and together we can overturn this world!" Zeus said coldly. "And you won't be able to remain uninvolved either."

"You have no idea what kind of situation you are actually facing," the voice said slowly. "You will not only lose everything you possess, but will completely become a cripple! Are you willing to bear this outcome?"

Saying this, he violently smashed the porcelain cup in his hand onto the ground!

Bang!

Water splashed all over the floor!

Zeus's expression instantly turned ice-cold: "Lopez, you dare threaten me?"

…………

"Hey, big bro, wake up!"

Ximen Wudi jolted awake from his sleep, grabbing at the bedsheet beside him.

It turned out he had just had a dream.

He dreamed of a starry sky.

A galaxy.

In the dream, he and Danielle Xia Pu were flying beneath the starry sky.

He held her tightly, as if afraid she would disappear, while Danielle Xia Pu leaned against his chest and fell into a quiet, sweet sleep.

Ximen Wudi's dream was very vivid.

However, when Ximen Wudi opened his eyes, he found that Danielle Xia Pu was not beside him; the room was empty, with only a note left on the table.

"Tonight, I'm going shopping with Gesilin, you have to do your best." Danielle Xia Pu's handwriting was neat and graceful, very pleasant to look at.

Ximen Wudi smiled, then picked up the phone on the bedside cabinet and dialed a number.

"Hello, I'm in your office. Book me a high-speed rail ticket to Hua. Xia Ning Province, try to schedule it for the day after tomorrow, I need one day's time," Ximen Wudi said.

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away." The call was hung up on the other end.

After hanging up, Ximen Wudi rubbed his eyes and sat up, finding himself on an unfamiliar large bed, with warmth still lingering on the pillow beside him.

It was a single bed, but it was made very soft and loose, even the wrinkles on the bedsheet were very fine and dense, as if countless little stars surrounded it.

"Where is this?" Ximen Wudi scratched his head in confusion.

The decor here was very simple and clean; apart from those basic furnishings, even the electrical appliances were extremely rare, clearly not the setup of an ordinary hotel.

After looking around, Ximen Wudi walked out of the bedroom, drew open the floor-to-ceiling window, and saw the night sky and the stars.

By now, it was almost close to three in the morning.

"How did I end up here?"

Ximen Wudi's brows furrowed tightly.

However, he didn't overthink it, because he knew he certainly hadn't come here for no reason; this place must have been prepared in advance by Danielle Xia Pu for him, otherwise, such a luxurious room probably couldn't be found anywhere in all of Europe.

Because it was close to the airport, just over half an hour later, Ximen Wudi had already boarded the bullet train heading to Ning Province.

On the train, images of intimate moments with Danielle Xia Pu floated through Ximen Wudi's mind.

His fingers brushed the necklace at his neck; the diamond stud was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a purple crystal pendant.

It was a beautiful teardrop-shaped jade, emerald green all over, crystal clear, containing a rich breath of life within, making one feel that even breathing became much smoother.

"This is something I prepared for you, I want to give it to you." Danielle Xia Pu's voice seemed to still linger by his ear.

This filled Ximen Wudi's heart with warmth.

"Thank you, my dear Danielle, I've received your kind intentions." Ximen Wudi smiled and muttered to himself: "Just wait, I will definitely bring you into my life."

This time, Ximen Wudi did not choose to take a flight to Hua. Xia, but switched to the bullet train, because he was worried his whereabouts would be exposed; after all, the current relationship between the Sun Temple and Atlantis was already at daggers drawn, and Ximen Wudi didn't want to get drawn in any deeper.

However, although he thought this way, Ximen Wudi also had to ensure everything was foolproof — on the evening of arriving in Ning Province, he bought a ticket and flew back to the country.

Of course, when Ximen Wudi left, Danielle Xia Pu also followed him back to the Hua. Xia capital; after all, this Young Lady had been staying here for several days and was already bored out of her mind.

"Ximen Wudi, let's go check out Uncle Karen and Kesi Dilin's new address first," Danielle Xia Pu said, her arm linked through Ximen Wudi's.

She was wearing a white dress and sunglasses, drawing frequent sidelong glances from many travelers along the way; she looked like some kind of superstar, but was actually just a youthful, vibrant college student.

"Our great principal, you've moved here again," Ximen Wudi said with a smile. "Last time was two years ago, when you and Kesi Dilin met in Hua. Xia."

Danielle Xia Pu held Ximen Wudi's arm: "Let's go pay them a visit, I have something I want to ask Kesi Dilin."

After saying this, she blinked her pretty big eyes and asked playfully: "Old friends meeting, will you get jealous?"

Ximen Wudi laughed heartily: "I wish they'd never meet at all; my woman is absolutely not allowed to be coveted by them!"

"You're so domineering." Danielle Xia Pu chuckled lightly, reached out, wrapped her arms around Ximen Wudi's waist, and pressed her face against his chest.

"I missed you," Danielle Xia Pu said softly.

"Mm, me too." Ximen Wudi lowered his head, looked at this little fangirl-like Miss, and said with a smile: "I missed you too."

The tip of his nose touched Danielle Xia Pu's forehead; this intimate posture made the atmosphere between them increasingly heated, as if it could ignite at any moment.

However, just at this moment, Danielle Xia Pu's expression suddenly froze on her face.

"What's wrong?" Ximen Wudi immediately noticed something was off and asked with concern.

His heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up.

"My stomach really hurts," Danielle Xia Pu frowned, clutching her lower abdomen.

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi immediately helped Danielle Xia Pu lie down: "Bear with it for a moment, is this a hospital?"

"No, I'm fine. I'll go to the bathroom and come back soon. If you're hungry, order something to eat." Daniell Xia Pu struggled to her feet and walked toward the bathroom.

Ximen Wudi watched her swaying figure, his heart burning with anxiety.

"No time to delay—if we don't treat her promptly, her life could be in danger!" Ximen Wudi's gaze sharpened, and he flung the door open.

Yet, when Ximen Wudi rushed into the bathroom, he found Daniell Xia Pu leaning over the toilet, vomiting.

And she was vomiting violently!

"What's wrong?" Ximen Wudi hurried over, crouched down, and placed his hands on Daniell Xia Pu's back: "Let me pat your back."

The moment his palms touched her back, she cried out in pain and nearly fainted.

Ximen Wudi immediately stopped: "Why is it this severe?"

He checked her stomach: "Have you had recent digestive issues?"

"No, I drink coffee every day," Daniell Xia Pu gritted her teeth.

Her stomach burned fiercely, as if it were being melted.

"That's not it," Ximen Wudi shook his head. "Did you eat something you're allergic to?"

This situation was indeed strange.

"Allergic?" Daniell Xia Pu struggled to stand, leaning against the wall. "How could this happen?"

She was equally confused. Normally, Daniell Xia Pu never picky about food, especially since Chinese cuisine tended to be mild and rarely triggered allergies.

"Wait a moment—I'll make a call." Ximen Wudi pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

He rarely called Ye Shuangjiang directly, but given the urgency, he no longer cared about appearances.

"This is Ximen Wudi. I need you to check if there have been any recent cases… yes, patients with allergic symptoms… yes, my girlfriend, Daniell Xia Pu…" Ximen Wudi explained the situation in detail.

1727 is not unrelated!

1727 is not unrelated!

Yet the result left Ximen Wudi disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ximen Wudi, I've never heard of your girlfriend having an allergy history," Ye Shuangjiang said. "Moreover, if there truly were allergic symptoms, they'd be so severe they couldn't possibly have been missed by doctors or nurses."

Ximen Wudi hung up the phone and fell into silence.

It seemed this sudden symptom today was inextricably linked to me!

In the past, Daniell Xia Pu always loved snuggling in his arms, but now this girl curled up her body, hunched over the toilet, looking utterly tormented.
