Looking back now, Erii, who was willing to leave with him, seemed to have escaped her shackles, but she also gave up all her ties and placed all her hopes on him.
That's such a rare kind of trust...and affection.
"Later, following you, I saw a bigger world, met all sorts of people and things, and I became happier and happier, and enjoyed being with you more and more..."
Even if…
Erii's beautiful, wine-red eyes suddenly lowered. "Even after Natsumi came along... I actually..."
“Xia Mi…”
Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat.
“Mumu, I never blame her, because she did what I couldn’t do, and her efforts make me feel ashamed,” Erii said earnestly.
Xia Mu immediately shook her head: "That's not how it is. We've discussed these things. Don't think like that."
Erii covered his mouth with her small hand, her eyebrows curving into a smile: "I know that matters of the heart are only about mutual consent. There's no such thing as one person giving more or less. As long as both of us are willing, that's the best."
"I'm just grateful to her..."
Her small hands lowered again, then she hugged his neck tightly once more. "Because of her, I understood that love isn't about taking, it's about giving; because of her, I understood how to love someone, so..."
She mustered her courage, looked up, and stared into Xia Mu's eyes. "Mu Mu, if one day I'm gone, you must be happy! As long as you're happy, I'll be happy too!"
Xia Mu trembled: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I know I don't have long to live..."
There was no sadness in Erii's eyes, only calm and composure. "Marrying you is my last wish."
"You mean this..."
Xia Mu's heart, which had been pounding, slowly calmed down. She breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her tightly, saying, "Whether you believe it or not, I've been working on this for the past two years, and I still am now."
"I want you to stay with me for the rest of my life, how could I let you die?"
Erii trembled slightly, looking up in disbelief: "Really?"
Xia Mu gently stroked her face and pressed his forehead against hers: "You must stay with me, always stay with me, only then will I be complete."
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what his life goals should be, and his life would be completely empty.
“You’ll probably hear that eerie clapper sound again tomorrow. Don’t be afraid. Follow him and leave everything to me,” he said softly.
"it is good."
Erii looked into his eyes and agreed.
"No matter what happens, don't worry, I'm here, you won't get hurt..."
Xia Mu hesitated for a moment, "However, the evolution process may be very uncomfortable, and we may encounter some unexpected things. I know there will be side effects, but I don't know exactly what they will be. We can only wait and see."
Erii stayed close to him, and after a while, the first thing she asked wasn't about herself, but about him.
Will you get hurt?
"No one can hurt me except you."
Xia Mu laughed.
"Oh, I promise I won't hurt you." Erii was relieved.
"Mumu, when is Xia Mi coming back?" she asked, leaning against Xia Mu.
Xia Mu's breath hitched, and his eyes darkened: "I don't know either... but I have a feeling that this has something to do with when we get married."
Erii looked up in surprise: "Why?"
Xia Mu shook his head.
Erii leaned back again: "What do you think we should do if Natsumi comes back?"
Natsuki usually didn't think about this, but now that Erii had reminded him, his mind went blank: "I don't know..."
"Can we be family?" Erii suddenly asked.
Xia Mu's eyes widened: "Home...family?"
"Um…"
Erii said softly, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I still don't want to give you to her, but she's also very pitiful, so I want her to become our family."
Xia Mutou was in great pain: "What is the status of family?"
Erii shook her head blankly: "I don't know either."
Xia Mu remained silent.
"Don't think about it anymore, we'll talk about it later. The most important thing right now is tomorrow."
He gently stroked Erii's long hair, his eyes reflecting the bustling city night scene.
"Yiyi, let's get married after tomorrow, okay?"
"…Um."
Chapter 310 One Man Can Be Worth a Thousand Armies
The next morning, Xia Mu set off alone.
He did not choose to fly over because the entire area was within range of anti-aircraft missiles.
Ryoma Genichiro, the head of the Ryoma family, is a first-class air force left-hand man who can control a certain number of air force personnel and bring the surrounding area under military protection.
"Who goes there?!"
Sure enough, Xia Mu was stopped by soldiers about a kilometer from the Red Well.
He didn't dwell on it and directly dialed Ryoma Genichiro's number.
Soon, the soldiers received orders and cleared the road.
"Xia Jun, why won't you let me continue?"
Ryoma Genichiro and Miyamoto Shio came out to greet them together.
Xia Mu's first challenge was facing the wrath of tech guru Shio Miyamoto.
"You know what? The moment I stopped here, I discovered they were working on the other side too—it was the Fierce Ghosts! They were digging from the other side!"
Miyamoto Shio gesticulated wildly, spitting as he spoke.
"If they dig up the well of the dead first, we're finished! Finished!"
Xia Mu took a step back to dodge the spittle attack from the other side.
“Once they find the god first, everything will be in vain! I reported to the patriarch! But he said that everything about the Red Well is entrusted to you!”
Miyamoto Shigeo, his neck flushed, said, "Does this have anything to do with who's in charge? In a race against time, only a technician like me can decide the outcome!"
"Miyamoto-kun, don't get too excited."
Seeing that he was about to pounce on Natsuki, Ryoma Genichiro helplessly held down his shoulder.
"Don't worry, leaving it to me means I can take on an army all by myself," Xia Mu said calmly, arms crossed.
Miyamoto Shigeo's old face twitched: "This isn't going to the battlefield, this is underground excavation."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Xia Mu reached out and patted his shoulder, brushing past him. "Do you know what your fate will be the moment you open the gate? Do you know there are countless Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers inside? You will die."
Miyamoto Shigeo was stunned, then stubbornly retorted, "For the sake of the family, if Mr. Masamune can die, so can I":
Xia Mu was taken aback, feeling both annoyed and respectful.
These idiots!
"Thank you!"
But then, Miyamoto Shio bowed deeply to him solemnly.
Xia Mu shook his head and walked towards the Red Well.
Suddenly, the roar of a modified sports car came from ahead of the road.
A red Alfa Romeo sports car sped towards us at 200 kilometers per hour, like a shooting arrow.
Xia Mu stopped in her tracks, frowned, and turned back.
"Head of the Ryoma family, the Kanto branch has been ordered to provide support!"
The car door opened, and a cold-looking young man stepped out.
The head of the Kanto branch, Akechi Asu, bowed deeply to Ryoma Genichiro.
"The patriarch has already cancelled the branch support plan, so what's going on?"
Ryoma Genichiro did not receive news of the branch's betrayal; Genji only informed him that the support was canceled.
Before Akechi Asush could answer, another rumble sounded from the road behind them.
More cars came to an abrupt halt in front of the roadblocks; they were all high-powered sports cars, and the owners were young people in their twenties, both men and women.
They parked their cars in a row and immediately opened the trunks to check their equipment.
All twelve group leaders of the Kanto branch were present.
“When we received the order from the head of the group, all the groups had already set off. I thought it wouldn’t be convenient to intercept them halfway back, so I decided to just come and take a look around,” said Akechi Asushi.
"You're not obeying the patriarch's orders?"
Ryoma Genichiro's expression changed, and he frowned deeply. "What did you stuff in your trunk? It stinks!"
"You can see for yourself."
Akechi Asushi opened the trunk.
The pungent, stench almost made Ryoma Genichiro faint, but he quickly realized something was wrong.
A serpentine black shadow leaped out of the trunk, stretching its body in the air like a straight arrow!
Ryoma Genichiro got too close, caught off guard, and had no time to react. His throat was about to be bitten through.
But he suddenly found himself flying backward, and Deadpool had missed his bite.
