Chapter 67: Before He Tore Up the House, Now He Tears Her Apart
The lion was unwilling to sleep, fearing he would miss the time the little Cixing entered. He was unwilling to eat. The extreme longing, tension, anxiety, and fear caused him to develop psychosomatic symptoms. He wanted to vomit at the sight of food and water.
Sometimes, extreme exhaustion caused him to lose strength and fall into a heavy, brief sleep. His dreams were filled with the words the little Cixing had said, the things they had done, the games they had played, the way they chased each other in the Bamboo Peak of the back mountain, their playful bickering, and their intimate snugglingâall beautiful memories.
But when he woke up, it was empty and dark again. It was like falling from heaven into hell, over and over again, nearly crushing his will.
This feeling was a hundred, a thousand times more painful than being imprisoned and tortured in the laboratory!
Back then, it was only physical pain. He still had the thought of escaping, the longing to see the light of day. But now, the mental devastation was like falling into a swamp, getting deeper and deeper. He missed her so much. He missed her so, so much. He missed her until he was about to die…
(Tangtang, where are you? Will you come and see me, please?)
Yuanshi Xingqiu.
Majestic, crisscrossing giant rocks were scattered across the azure mountains and wild fields.
When Asilan landed with the girl in his arms, she was a bit puzzled. “Is this the place you said… I would like? It’s bare, only mountains and rocks. Whatâs there to see?”
“These are all Yuanshi.”
“Yuanshi?!” Su Miantang was shocked. “Is… is it the kind I know, the kind you can cut into jade and gems?”
“Mhm.”
It was actually true!
An entire planet of raw gemsâhow much treasure must there be?
Su Miantang looked up at him, her eyes shining with bling-bling little stars. “Lanlan, you’re too rich, aren’t you?”
It was the first time she had shown such an admiring expression toward him while conscious. The man’s mood was jubilant.
“Do you like it?”
“Mm-mm-mm!”
“If you like it, Iâll register this planet in your name as private property.”
“?!”
Private property?
Then wouldn’t she become a billionaireâno, a trillionaireâinstantly?
Dreams coming true was this simple!
(Lanlan really is a good tiger. He knows how to be grateful. I didn’t raise you for nothing!)
Su Miantang was tempted for exactly one second before she immediately regained her reason. “No need. Just let me pick one rock~”
She couldn’t forget that the little sweetheart had already become a wicked tiger, and his pure “Master-pet” feelings for her had long since mutated.
Perhaps the moment she nodded, he would start demanding “repayment” in the next second. Based on the fact that their mating lasted for dozens of days, she was afraid she would lose her life at his hands.
Gems are beautiful, but life is more precious!
“Susu, are you sure you don’t want it?” Asilan raised an eyebrow, continuing to tempt her. “Not just this planetâmy house, my flight craft, my armory, my personal bank accounts can all be yours. Including me.”
Su Miantang: “…” (I knew it.)
“Except for you, you can transfer everything else to my account.”
“Sure. But such a massive transfer of wealth must be between partners to be legal…”
As he spoke, he leaned down to kiss her. Su Miantang immediately covered her mouth in fright. “You beast! What are you doing? My mouth is already swollen this much!”
“Hahaha~”
In the empty mountain valley, the man’s clear, rich laughter echoed.
As Su Miantang listened, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.
She was being held tightly in his arms, being sucked and kissed ferociously for two hours like he was eating.
(Was it a hallucination?)
The girl landed on the mountain and began to carefully observe and select a raw gemstone, hoping to find a rare treasure. After considering for a long time, she chose a grey stone with sharp edges.
Although she didn’t understand jade, based on her geographical knowledge, a stone with a sandy surface that felt rough to the touch was of great age. Although it wasn’t large, it was heavy, which meant the jade inside was of high density and old origin.
In summary, this should be a high-quality gemstone.
On the other side, Asilan was also selecting a stone.
However, his method was much simpler. He directly used his Zhandouli to sense the age, type, color, and quality of the jade inside.
Imperial green emerald? No. Blue sapphire? No. Pink crystal? No…
“Lanlan, Iâve chosen.” Su Miantang excitedly picked up the stone and shouted to the man, “Come and help me open it!”
“Alright.”
Asilan teleported over. Before he took her stone, he slowly opened his palm.
There, a clear, translucent amber diamond lay quietly. Under the sunlight, it emitted a dazzling, brilliant light. It was stunning.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
Su Miantang was mesmerized. The stone in her hand almost fell and crushed her foot.
“Itâs as beautiful as Susu’s eyes.” Asilan picked it up and held it against her neck. “When we get back, Iâll make it into a necklace for you.”
“Thank you~”
“I love it!”
She couldn’t imagine how beautiful she would be wearing such a large diamond.
Asilan opened the raw gem in her hand. To her surprise, it contained… a ruby as deep and bright as pigeon blood.
He was momentarily stunned.
For a moment, he felt that this gem was his own eye.
Immediately, a look of extreme joy appeared on his lips.
“Susu selected for so long just to find a gem with the exact same color as my eyes?”
“We truly are soulmates.”
“I have you in my eyes, and you have me in yours.”
“…”
Su Miantang hadn’t expected it to be such a coincidence.
She looked at the two gems sitting together. It was like they were exchanging tokens of love.
“N-No, it isn’t. I don’t have X-ray vision. How could I choose it on purpose?”
Speaking of X-ray vision, she thought of the Big Golden Retriever.
After traveling through the star system for so long, her concept of time was a bit muddled. She didn’t know how much time had passed. The Big Golden Retriever must be getting anxious, right?
If she went back any later, he probably wouldn’t even recognize her, let alone let her into the laboratory.
But…
Now the “good tiger” had become a “bad tiger”. He wouldn’t let her mention another Xiongxing. If she did, he would go crazy.
Before, he tore up the house. Now, he tore her apart.
It was terrifying.
She had to think of a way to get back.
“Doesn’t that prove even more that thereâs a fate between us?”
The Shangjiang, who used to treat gold and jewels like dirt, now carefully placed the two gems near his chest, as if he were afraid of losing them.
“True.”
Su Miantang nodded.
“If there were no fate, I wouldn’t have picked you up and brought you home. But Lanlan…”
“You keep calling me Cizhu because you think I took your virginity. If it were someone else, would you still court her? Iâm no different, right?”
Translator’s Note: Lanlan is really romantic at heart, making a necklace from a gem that looks like her eyes! But Su Miantang is clearly still thinking about the Crown Prince (the Big Golden Retriever). And for those wondering, Yuanshi are raw, uncut gemstonesâa very popular motif in these web novels. Catch you in the next chapter!
