Fairy Tail: I Am the God

They soon arrived at the Zhongnan Villa.

The environment of Zhongnan Villa was quite nice. After arriving at the villa, Rong'er was put in the room, and then the staff were instructed to prepare a basin of hot water.

Gai Nie said to the people in the shop, "Bring a basin of water." Because Rong'er's body was still very weak.

After a while, there was a knocking sound, the sound of knocking on the door. Then Gai Nie said "Come in." A person then walked in carrying a basin of water.

The person put down the water and left. At this moment, Gai Nie took a towel, wet it with water, and then wiped Rong'er's face.

Suddenly, Rong'er grabbed Gai Nie's hand and said, "Gai Nie, why were you so determined to kill Chi Lian just now?"

When Rong'er asked this question, Gai Nie was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Rong'er saw that Gai Nie was not speaking, and then she became a little unhappy.

Then Gai Nie thought for a moment and said, "Because I won't allow anyone to hurt you."

In fact, Gai Nie had long regarded Rong'er as the most important person to him. It's just that Rong'er herself didn't realize it.

"Really, is it really that simple?" Rong'er asked incredulously.

As Gai Nie looked at Rong'er, the image of Jing Ke involuntarily appeared in his mind, because Jing Ke and Rong'er were sworn siblings.

"Of course! What else can I do? Didn't I promise you before that I wouldn't let you die?" Gai Nie said to Rong'er.

Rong'er once asked Gai Nie if she would have kept her promise if she had been the one to assassinate the Qin emperor. Gai Nie replied, "If it were you, I would never have let you die."

That's why this was used as an excuse to avoid Rong'er's question.

But Rong'er still seemed determined to persist, saying, "You still remember what you said before!"

Gai Nie said, "Of course I remember, I've always remembered!"

Rong'er was surprised that Gai Nie still remembered those words! She couldn't help but ask.

"Gai Nie?" Rong'er asked. At this moment, Gai Nie replied, "What's wrong?"

Then Rong'er asked, "Gai Nie, am I important to you?"

When Rong'er asked the question, Gai Nie was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

However, Rong'er couldn't help but press him further. Then Gai Nie said to Rong'er, "Of course you're important. Ever since you asked me what it would be like if you were the one to assassinate the Qin emperor, you've already taken a place in my heart. You're very important to me. It's just that I've never been able to say it out loud."

Chapter 1223 Ten Thousand Dragons Pay Homage, Dragon Tomb Land

Along the way, Rong'er kept wondering if Nie Gai had feelings for her, but no matter how much she speculated, it wouldn't have any practical effect. So, Rong'er decided to ask Nie Gai. No matter what, she had to seize this opportunity today to confirm his feelings with him and what she really thought.

Rong'er was absolutely certain that Nie Gai had feelings for her, but why wouldn't he tell her his feelings? Rong'er was getting impatient; after so long of silence, she still couldn't calm her heart.

"Nie Gai, I have a question for you." Rong'er leaned on Nie Gai's back, her cheek against his broad shoulder, and whispered in his ear.

Her breathing made Nie Gai a little nervous, and his heart pounded faster. He wondered if Rong'er behind him could hear his heartbeat. For a man, it was a little embarrassing. He held his breath to keep his mind from wandering.

"What's wrong, Rong'er? Ask away." Nie Gai tried his best to hide his nervousness and not let himself give off any clues. He tried his best not to have any strange thoughts.

Upon hearing Nie Gai's response, Rong'er softened her tone, becoming gentle and languid, her face filled with infatuation as she immersed herself in the quiet time she spent with Gai Nie. She felt that this fleeting time was so beautiful.

"Hey, Gai Nie, I'm asking you a question, and you have to tell me the truth. You can't dodge or avoid my questions!" Rong'er's sweet voice echoed in Gai Nie's ears.

Gai Nie was indeed a little surprised and taken aback. Although he knew Rong'er's feelings for him, he did not expect her to ask so directly, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Gai Nie was still thinking that he should try to find some words to brush it off, but for some reason, he couldn't open his mouth for a long time and didn't know what he should say.

He didn't answer Rong'er. Rong'er leaned on his shoulder and looked up at him. His expression was very solemn, and his eyes seemed thoughtful, as if a trace of sadness had passed through them. Rong'er's heart skipped a beat.

"Why? Gai Nie? Don't you have even the slightest feeling for me? I don't believe it. You can't lie to me after all this time." Rong'er was a little sad, but more than that, she felt helpless.

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie finally reacted. His gaze cleared, and he spoke slowly, "Rong'er, be a good girl and don't think about these things. I will take good care of you."

Gai Nie also felt a little sad. After all, having the person you love by your side but not being able to express your feelings to each other is probably the most painful thing for lovers in the world.

Rong'er was clearly dissatisfied. "Take good care of me? Ha! I'm just asking you, do you like me or not? I don't want to hear anything else." Gai Nie felt another pang of heartache.

Should he express his feelings? No, that wouldn't do; he would ruin Rong'er's happiness. But he truly loved her. How could he convey these feelings to her? He was afraid that the silly Rong'er would do something reckless because of him.

Chapter 1224 The Ferocious Acnologia

However, despite his efforts, he couldn't overcome Rong'er's relentless questioning. Rong'er was too persistent about this matter, so Nie Gai knew that if he didn't get a clear answer today, Rong'er wouldn't let it go.

"I don't care. If I don't know your feelings today, then we don't need to see each other again, so as not to annoy each other." Rong'er said this as her last chance for Gai Nie, seemingly angry.

But should their feelings even exist in this world? Would the world allow such a relationship? Nie Gai was still afraid that he would affect Rong'er's reputation and happiness, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Rong'er, listen to me." Gai Nie finally made up his mind. What was wrong with telling her his feelings? It was between them. Rong'er looked at him, her eyes filled with expectation and confusion.

“In my heart, you have long been the most important person to me, Gai Nie, but…” Gai Nie finally voiced his concerns. Upon hearing Gai Nie’s words, Rong’er’s eyes filled with tears. However, despite her excitement and joy, she wondered why he didn’t just tell her directly.

"I knew you had feelings for me too, so I like you too. That way, we can be a perfect couple. Isn't that wonderful?" Rong'er said expectantly, her heart filled with tenderness.

Gai Nie felt a pang of melancholy, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting Rong'er to see it. "No... Rong'er, have you ever thought that our relationship is destined to be unblessed by the world? You won't be happy with me. I can't ruin your happiness. You must wake up."

Upon hearing Gai Nie's explanation, Rong'er suddenly realized the painstaking efforts he had put into caring for her all this time, and the love he had silently protected. She felt extremely sad, but even more so, she was deeply moved. She couldn't contain her emotions any longer; she realized that she had wronged him.

"So...that's how it is, so...that's what you were thinking." Rong'er was somewhat surprised, but her eyes stung with tears. She hadn't expected Gai Nie to have such deep feelings for her. Why hadn't she noticed? How foolish of her.

“Gai Nie, don’t be afraid. Although we are sworn siblings, we are only siblings in name. Why should we care about the prejudices of those common people? I only know that as long as I am with you, I will not be afraid of the coldness and filth of the world, because of you… I believe that you will always be by my side, never leaving me. You are all I have.” Rong’er said gently in Gai Nie’s ear.

When Gai Nie heard Rong'er confess her feelings for him, he felt even more that he should not betray her love. He decided that he must risk his life to protect her. He silently tightened his grip on Rong'er's hand.

Seeing that Nie Gai remained silent, Rong'er understood his feelings. She turned and smiled gently. This was probably the happiest moment she had experienced in a long time.

A moment later, Rong'er sat up and kissed Gai Nie. They both smiled happily. "No matter what happens, I'm willing to face the future with you."

Chapter 1225 The Roar of the Evil Dragon Shocks the Continent

Seeing Gai Nie like this warmed Rong'er's heart. She felt like the happiest woman in the world right now, finally understanding the feelings of the person she loved. This was simply the best thing in the world.

The two embraced tightly, so tightly it felt almost suffocating, but Rong'er felt incredibly safe. Perhaps this was the power of love. This scene was truly enviable. Indeed, sweet love will always happen to some people, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

Leon was overjoyed to see the two of them like this in the system. He felt great and couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, the two of them had finally made it. This was exactly what he wanted to see. The corners of Leon's mouth gradually turned up. Sometimes, the emotions between people are just that simple.

Hopefully, these two people can truly cherish each other and remember what happened today forever. What happened today might be something they recall a hundred or eighty times over for the rest of their lives.

Leon truly envied this kind of love. He wondered when he would meet his own love. Perhaps it was just a matter of time. As long as he met the right person at the right time, everything would fall into place naturally. So Leon wasn't in a big hurry. He knew that what belonged to him would eventually be his!

Tianming rushed over and, seeing Leon's state, was utterly bewildered. He wondered what Leon was laughing about, and if the man had gone mad. He frantically demanded, "What do you want me to do? What happened? Why are you laughing? Did something good happen? Tell me quickly, I want to know!"

Hearing Tianming's words, Leon snapped out of his daze, glanced at Tianming beside him with a mixture of disdain and delight, and said: "Are you very free? Should I arrange some more work for you? Would I tell you about this?"

When Tianming heard Liang's words, he pursed his lips helplessly. He knew that Leon wouldn't tell him, but he was still a little unwilling to give up. He followed Leon around, saying, "Hey, just tell me, what happened? I've finished my work. You can't be harsh on your employees and mistreat me!"

Leon had witnessed Tianming's relentless pursuit before, but to him, Tianming's persistence was nothing. He completely ignored Tianming and walked away with a very aloof expression.

She pouted, looking a little aggrieved. She was really gossipy and determined to find out what had happened. So he glanced at the system next to him, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the system with a mischievous grin. The system's sneaky appearance was quite cute.

What on earth just happened to the system? Why was Leon laughing?! Don't you think this is absolutely terrifying, a once-in-a-century spectacle!

Tianming started rambling again, which was quite exasperating. The system looked at Tianming and really didn't want to tell him, but it had witnessed Tianming's persistent pestering before. Leon could handle it, but she couldn't.

Chapter 1226 One Strike Destroys a Nation, Acnologia's Intimidation

Besides, he's just a machine and can't move. Facing Tianming's constant questioning must be very unpleasant for him. You should clear your throat and say to Tianming beside you: Actually, it's nothing. It's just that he's lovesick. Oh dear, spring is coming soon, and some people just can't bear the loneliness in their hearts!

Tianming was overjoyed to hear the system's words. After all these years, he had finally come to his senses and was no longer the blockhead he used to be. Leon always gave people the impression of being cold and aloof, but he was actually very gentle inside. As long as you spent more time with him, you would discover his good qualities.

Tianming knew that Leon had once liked a girl, but because his emotional intelligence was so low, the girl eventually broke up with him. Leon was greatly affected at the time. He became even more aloof than before, rarely communicating with others and immersing himself in his own world, busy with his own things.

No one could enter his world, which left everyone feeling helpless. It was for this reason that Leon later achieved a lot, because he numbed his emotions by working desperately every day.

If Leon really is the girl he sometimes likes, it seems like a really good thing. Perhaps things will change this way. Today, we can see that Leon's expression actually showed a smile.

This is quite a pleasant surprise. You know, Leon is very handsome, and his smile is also very charming. It's just that he doesn't smile often. If he smiled more often, many girls would definitely be captivated by his good looks.

Hey System, what kind of girl does Leon like? We don't want someone who's not pretty, um, no one with a bad voice, no one who can't cook, and no one who's too fierce!

Tianming rattled off a long list of options, leaving the system utterly helpless. If it had hands, it would have slapped Tianming, but it was just a system, utterly powerless. It couldn't shut down automatically; if it did, the man in front of it would restart it. It was truly a headache.

Think about it carefully, okay? This is Leon choosing a girlfriend, not you. Why do you have so many requirements? As long as Leon likes her, that's fine!

The system said with a hint of helplessness, secretly reminding Tianming. Tianming retorted after hearing the system's words: "Although what you said makes a lot of sense, we will never accept people with poor character, and I will not agree to it either. You should know that my words have a lot of authority!"

The system felt even more helpless. It really didn't know what authority Tianming had in his words. He was always interested in unorthodox and shady things, which was quite a headache. Now, it didn't know what kind of crazy idea he had come up with. Seeing Tianming's bright eyes this time, the system really regretted telling Tianming these things. It would rather shut down.

Tianming, seemingly lost in thought, said anxiously, "No, no, I have to go find Leon and ask him what's going on. We can't let him do whatever he wants with this!"

The system was overjoyed to hear that Tianming was going to find Leon. Finally, it could escape him. Besides, it hadn't mentioned that Leon wanted to find a girlfriend, so it couldn't be blamed if it got scolded.

Chapter 1227 Future Rogue, The Disrupted Timeline

Tianming hurriedly ran towards Liang's direction. Leon was in his office, pouring himself a cup of coffee and slowly sipping it while thinking about something. He looked quite content, and this comfortable life was truly enviable. Tianming arrived at Liang's office.

He hurriedly opened the door and said, "Leon, I know everything. I don't care if you insist on making this decision yourself. If I don't like you, you absolutely cannot disobey me! Although I agree with these things, you can't do whatever you want! I have a lot of authority, I'm telling you!"

Leon was very confused by Tianming's words, not understanding what had happened, but he could vaguely understand something from Tianming's words.

Leon shook his head helplessly. This kid must have learned something from the system again, and started to imagine and speculate, coming up with this whole series of things. It was really quite frustrating. This kid was always so troublesome.

What are you even talking about? You think I can't do anything just because you disagree? What kind of nonsense is this?! Tianming, have you been incredibly bored lately?!
