Chapter 182 182 - Third Trial Done!
"If someone named The Reaper comes I will help him?" questioned Wu Lan, unsure about the reason that Li Feng was saying such weird things to her.
"No, before that, why are you talking as if we'll never see each other again," asked Wu Lan, once again, as she didn't understand the choice of words of Li Feng right now.
The battle was finished, they had won, finally. So, why was he talking as if they were never going to see each other?
It just didn't make any sense to her, at least.
'Well, personally I probably won't see you again in a long time, but you won't notice a thing,' thought Aiden, as he glanced at the small timer on his right which indicated the time he had left trying to convince her of helping him in the future when he would come back.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere," reassured Aiden as he made her go back to the previous subject. "So, can you promise me?"
Wu Lan was confused as to why he was insisting on that matter that she had no choice but to ask some questions.
"Who's that Reaper that you're talking about? And how do you know him?"
Aiden faced with that question simply said the answers that came first to his mind.
"I know him from a long time ago, and he comes from far away. It's just that I received notice that he might come in a year or two, might be sooner even he doesn't know," said Aiden, trying to sound as vague as he could.
But looking at this answer from another point of view, Aiden didn't even lie when saying it. It was true that he came from far away and it was true that he had no idea when he would be coming to this place in the future.
His answer was just a modified truth made on the spot.
"And you can't take care of him in the future?" asked Wu Lan, confused once more.
However, Aiden had the best answer already prepared to such a question.
"You know how bad I am taking care of people, I think it's better if you do it," he replied, complimenting her.
He wanted to compliment her as much as he could so that she would forget about the problems in that answer of his.
"You really think so," she said, looking at him with cute puppy eyes.
"Of course, I do, you're way better than me around people," said Aiden once again complimenting her.
"Um, then sure I'll promise that I'll take care of that Reaper."
Aiden hearing that, was obviously really happy that she had promised as she didn't think that she would break a promise with Li Feng.
There was only a small problem with this whole plan and it was that it would all be for nothing if Li Feng had heard this whole conversation.
Well, Aiden could only hope that he didn't or else he would be in loads of trouble, especially for all the things that he had done to his wife at the start of the trial.
But, well... there was no point in worrying about that. He had completed the trial and who knew what would happen when coming back to this world in the future?
Maybe Li Feng himself would teach him about that new energy called Qi, well... maybe that was a little too far-fetched but who knows what the future holds?
It's not like anyone can see or know the future.
"Alright, that's great remember that name the Reaper," said Aiden, as he saw that the five minutes that he had to get lower and lower.
[00:20]
[00:19]
With only nineteen seconds left, Aiden decided that he would touch those melons one last time before disappearing.
He tried to go in for a hug with Wu Lan and when they were really close, he managed to grab hold of one of them, fondling it with the utmost care.
He wanted to savour this moment as he didn't know if he was ever going to be able to do such a thing again.
"What are you doing?!" whispered Wu Lan, shocked in his ear. "I already told you that we'll do it later calm down."
Aiden hearing this only smiled as the timer on his right hit [00:00], and as soon as it did he could feel his consciousness disappear reappearing in a completely different place, it the usual white room that he had already seen each time that he had finished a trial.
'Well, they really were soft,' thought Aiden, as he started receiving multiple messages from the system about the rewards that he had gotten in his trial.
However, before he read them, his mind was still lingering on her melons and how soft they were,.
Honestly, they were even better than the ones of Mia, well... he wasn't sure as it had been a while since he had last touched but one thing was sure, they were almost perfect.
Then, he dismissed those useless thoughts as he needed to see what sorts of rewards that he had just gotten, this was after all the most important when doing a trial.
What happened during it most of the time wouldn't have much of an impact in the future.
Well, now it would have one since Aiden would be able to come back to those worlds that he had influenced.
In fact, he wondered how the Empire had changed since the last time Aiden had left.
They had probably won the war and they were probably the only Empire left, but Aiden couldn't help but wonder what were actual changes.
But, then all those thoughts finally disappeared as it was time for him to check out the rewards that he had gotten.
And the only thing that came to his was "How?"
"How did I get so many rewards?" exclaimed Aiden, clearly shocked by the amount of messages that he was receiving.
