You said you came from another world?

Phoenix asked softly as it paced forward.

“Yes.” Xinian nodded and replied, “That world also has an Earth similar to yours, but it is already in the 21st century and there are no mutant races born here like yours.”

"A world where mutants don't exist? That's wonderful."

Phoenix's beautiful eyes shone with longing: "When I was a child, because of the mutant gene that I awakened, I was treated like a monster by the people around me, including my parents. It wasn't until later, when I was sent to the gifted youth academy, that things got a little better."

"Actually, there's nothing good about my world either."

hope Nian shrugged and complained, "It's either monster mutations or alien invasions. Since high school, I've been facing the threat of the world's end all the time."

In terms of crisis level, how could the current mutant world possibly compare to his world?

The so-called mutant god Apocalypse, when he arrived there, was at most just a minor villain!

"So even someone as strong as you has all sorts of troubles." Phoenix chuckled, covering her mouth.

"I wasn't always this strong..." hope Nian muttered.

For Xinian, the mutant world has lost its meaning and holds no secrets.

Therefore, Xinian seemed much more at ease facing the Phoenix now, without the initial caution and wariness towards the new world.

The phoenix suddenly asked, "Did you come to this world to find someone?"

“That’s right.” hope Nian answered directly: “Her name is Lorna, she’s my boss, and also my…girlfriend.”

"What about those women who appeared earlier?"

"Yes, that's true."

"all?"

"All of them!" hope Nian admitted directly, after all, it was the truth.

Phoenix lowered her gaze, remained silent for a moment, and continued, "I also heard your conversation with Wolverine. You said you came to the wrong timeline?"

hope Nian nodded and said, "This is a parallel universe from the past where Wolverine altered history. The person I'm looking for appeared in Wolverine's original universe."

Phoenix shook her head: "But in my opinion, you have arrived at the most correct timeline."

hope Nian looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Phoenix looked up at the eastern horizon where night had already fallen and smiled slightly: "As you said. The multiverse is so complex, yet you have come to the present time and space, appearing before me in the prime of my youth, not a little faster or slower, just right."

Phoenix smiled, lowered her head to meet Xinian's gaze, her beautiful eyes sparkling as if she had fallen into starlight: "Isn't this the correct timeline?"

hope Nian's heart skipped a beat.

“Xin Nian”.

Phoenix suddenly stopped in her tracks. She stood on the old and new ruins of the desert, under a starry sky where the stars and twilight coexisted, making her look beautiful and moving.

She lowered her head and smiled gently, her beautiful eyes shining like stars, reflecting the young man, and she parted her rosy lips slightly.

"hope Nian, I like you."

"I love that you came to this time and space at just the right moment, and met me at the best time of my life!"

Chapter 540, I like you, but it has nothing to do with you!

Facing the beautiful Phoenix in its prime, and its ardent gazes and words.

hope Nian was stunned, then let out a soft breath and said in a deep voice, "You know perfectly well that I come from another world."

"Yes." Phoenix nodded.

hope Nian continued, "You also know that I am about to leave this world to continue my journey of searching for people in various places until I find the person I am looking for."

"Yes." Phoenix nodded.

hope Nian looked directly at her: "So, you're still going to confess your feelings to me?"

"Yes!"

Phoenix nodded again and said firmly, "If you didn't hear me clearly just now, I can say it again—I like you!"

Even when confessing her feelings, Phoenix still stood tall and proud, without the slightest fear, raising her beautiful head with arrogance.

It's as if it's saying...

Even if I like you, I will never bow down to you...

I just like you, and no one can stop me from pursuing beautiful things!

With such an unstoppable momentum, Phoenix, who was originally a naive and ladylike student, transformed into a queen-like domineering aura!

hope Nian had a slight headache; he knew the other party was clearly serious.

As for how to respond to the other party, Xinian has not yet figured it out.

"You don't need to worry or be troubled by anything."

Phoenix smiled slightly: "Whether you want to leave this world or continue doing whatever you want, I won't stop you. Just remember that there was a timeline where mutants existed, and a girl named Jean once liked you and confessed her feelings to you. That's enough."

I like you, but it has nothing to do with you!

The hem of her dress swayed gently as Phoenix took a few steps forward, her fair hands clasped behind her back, facing the starry sky with her back to Xinian.

"You go."

Phoenix suppressed her emotions and said in a low voice, "Leave this wrong timeline and continue searching for the person you love."

“You…” Xinian was about to step forward.

"No, don't come any closer!"

Phoenix's body trembled violently as she called out to him, continuing to speak with her back turned: "I couldn't resist... I put on makeup, and it must look terrible. I want you to remember my best self."

"I see."

Xinian gazed deeply at Phoenix's retreating figure, as if trying to imprint it into his memory.

His body slowly rose off gravity, turned and flew towards the location of the X-Men team, leaving Phoenix alone standing in the ruins.

……

"Mr. Xinian."

Professor X, Charles, in his wheelchair looked up at Xinian flying towards them.

Seeing Xinian return alone, Scott, the Radiation Eye, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've come to tell you that I'm about to leave this world," hope Nian said softly, hovering three meters above the desert.

Professor X said sincerely, "I wish you a safe journey, and I hope you can find the person you are looking for soon."

"Hmm." hope Nian thought for a moment and said bluntly, "Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"I want to take my instrument with me when I leave this world."

"What did you say?!"

The smile on Professor X's handsome and youthful face vanished instantly, and the X-Men members on the field were also stunned upon hearing those words.

Scott's radiation-sighted eyes immediately turned red, and he exclaimed urgently, "How could you do this!"

“Of course, I will ask Qin later. Whether she wants to leave with me is her own decision.” Xi Nian said calmly, “If she is willing to leave with me, then her family, including you friends, can also choose to leave with me.”

He paused, then continued, "I control a small, independent universe that has everything your world has and doesn't have, and most importantly, it's peaceful enough."

"Wait, let me catch my breath..."

Professor X rubbed his temples, as if even with his extraordinary mental strength, he could hardly comprehend what Xinian was saying.

Diverse travel, an independent universe?

This is utterly unbelievable! It far exceeds their comprehension!

Professor X would never have believed it if hope Nian hadn't just defeated Apocalypse!

“I have never considered leaving this world.” Professor X took a breath and responded to Xinian, “However, if Qin agrees to leave with you, I have no objection.”

"Professor!" Scott, with his radiant eyes, cried out in alarm.

Beast Hank patted Scott on the shoulder and said softly, "Scott, Mr. Xinian said that everything is up to Qin to decide."

"I don't believe Qin will leave this world! I will try to persuade her to stay!"

Scott shook his head and, gritting his teeth, charged toward the desert ruins.

"Mr. Xinian."

Logan, the Wolverine, suddenly rose slowly from the ground, his husky voice booming, "If you're leaving, take me with you. This past timeline means nothing to me..."

He was like a truly lonely wolf, a wolf abandoned by the original future timeline.

"I will."

Xinian agreed, and just as he was about to return to the desert ruins to ask Phoenix what he meant.

But at this moment...

A loud and sharp cry rang out, carrying the power to shatter gold and split rocks, enough to make even the soul tremble!

It's just like the cry of the phoenix in legend—

Phoenix Cry!

"It's a desert ruin... over there with the harp!" Beast Hank exclaimed in surprise.

"not good!"

Professor X, Charles, paled drastically. Despite his extraordinary mental fortitude, he was equally shaken by the phoenix's cry, revealing an even more panicked expression than when facing Apocalypse: "Phoenix... Jean Grey, she's completely out of control!"

The night stalker next to him yelled, "Where did that person go?"

The X-Men then realized that the young man who had been flying low in the sky had vanished without a trace...

……

"The zither!"
