99+ from Shen Xingyao!

Xia Family.

In the bedroom... Seeing Xia Qingyan's suspicious expression, Su Bai felt speechless.

Damn it!

Was he really that untrustworthy?!

After thinking for a moment, he still felt—

Since Xia Qingyan even knew that he possessed a System... then... telling her what happened in the unknown space seemed harmless.

“Cough cough!”

After clearing his throat, Su Bai asked seriously:

“Yan Yan... do you still remember... that besides possessing the Chaos-rank Talent [Destiny Choice] (Genesis-level Divine Oracle), I also possess a profession of the same rank as [Destiny Choice] (Genesis-level Divine Oracle)—[Ruler of Destiny]?!”

Hearing this, Xia Qingyan was first stunned, then raised an eyebrow:

“Of course, I remember. Your coma... is related to this?”

Su Bai didn't speak but smiled and nodded.

After organizing his words, he continued:

“Yan Yan... do you know? Within my profession—[Ruler of Destiny]—a top-tier powerhouse of unknown strength is sealed!”

“That person is—[The Previous Generation Ruler of Destiny]!!”

After saying this, Su Bai deliberately paused.

He carefully observed Xia Qingyan's reaction.

Upon noticing Xia Qingyan's slight frown, he smiled.

He unceremoniously reached out and held her hand, continuing:

“Yan Yan... due to certain reasons, That One... [The Previous Generation Ruler of Destiny], has always been in a state of slumber... but...”

“Recently, for some unknown reason, It suddenly woke up!”

“Subsequently, It forcibly pulled me into a certain unknown space...”

“Then, It...”

“Next, I...”

“Subsequently, It...”

“Therefore, I...” (2000 words omitted here)

“Then, I... directly lost consciousness!”

“The sequence of events is roughly like that!”

“So, I really didn't deceive you! I genuinely saw a beam of purple light at the time, and then... then I fainted...”

“When I woke up, I saw the three of you...”

...After listening to Su Bai, Xia Qingyan remained silent.

After furrowing her beautiful brows, she said with a shocked expression:

“Uh... Su Bai... do you mean...”

“Your fate...”

“Was tampered with?!”

“How... how is that possible?!”

It was simply too bizarre!

It was actually... fate alteration!!!

If Su Bai's fate was altered... then did that mean... her fate... was also altered?!

One must know—

Her previous life memories and the experiences of this life were different!

Moreover, she could guarantee that in her previous life, she never awakened the second Talent [Divine Phoenix true spirit] until she attained the Dao and became the [Ice Phoenix Empress]!

Nor did she undergo Fusion and upgrade to—[Primal Divine Phoenix]!

Therefore, there was a high possibility that her fate... was also altered!

But she wasn't sure.

Nor could she prove it.

After all... she had no evidence.

Just then,

“~Ding dong!”

“~Ding dong!”

“~Ding dong!”

Three consecutive clear and pleasant phone ringtones suddenly sounded.

The source of the sound was actually—

Su Bai's pants pocket!

Su Bai took out his phone and saw that the screen displayed—

[yao yao loves eating candy:]

WeChat nickname—yao yao loves eating candy?!

Yao Yao... that would be—Shen Xingyao!

After hesitating for a moment, Su Bai unlocked his phone and opened WeChat.

He discovered... it was a big red 99+!

Shen Xingyao... this Director of Jiangcheng City Education Bureau and Vice President of the Heavenly God Society... had actually sent him over a hundred WeChat messages during this period!

After clicking open the chat window, Su Bai casually tapped the 'up' arrow.

A few seconds later, the messages reached the top:

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai, where did you go?!]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai, why can't I reach you?]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai? Why aren't you replying?]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai... I heard... that in three days, an SSS-rank Awakener named 'Su Bai,' who just awakened this year... is about to be enfiefed as Emperor! Su Bai, is it... you?]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai, is it you, is it you??]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai, Su Bai! Reply quickly!!]

...[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai, Su Bai! Are you there, are you there?!]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai, Su Bai! Say something?!]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai!!! Reply!!!]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai, Su Bai! You brat! Where on earth did you go?! Why haven't you replied after so long?]

...[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai... are you still alive...]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai... can you please reply?]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Su Bai... you little rascal... you...]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Did something happen...]

...[yao yao loves eating candy: It's almost a day now... how come...]

[yao yao loves eating candy: You little rascal, you wouldn't really...]

[yao yao loves eating candy: Sigh! Su Bai... you little rascal! This Miss has something to deal with... if you see this, remember to reply, okay?! Remember: if you see it, you must reply!]

Looking at the dense messages on the phone screen,

Su Bai's heart instantly warmed.

Shen Xingyao's concern and anxiety... almost overflowed the screen!

She must have been worried.

Su Bai took a deep breath, his fingers rapidly sliding across the screen, quickly scanning all the messages, and a pang of guilt suddenly welled up in his heart.

He counted, there were a total of 158 messages on his phone.

Of these... approximately 120 messages were expressing concern for him.

The other 38... were either asking about Su Bai's recent situation or inquiring about the Emperor Enfeoffment Ceremony.

“Yan Yan, I need to reply first.” After a soft sigh, Su Bai looked up at Xia Qingyan, a hint of apology in his tone.

Xia Qingyan didn't ask further, she just nodded.

Then, she gently released the hand she was holding Su Bai's with, and then stepped back, indicating that he could deal with his phone matters first.

Su Bai quickly tapped a few times on his phone and replied:

[White Dove: Sister Yao Yao, I'm fine. I went to a secret base earlier, and there was no signal inside. I just came out, so I only saw your messages now... Sorry! Don't worry, I'm doing very well now. I plan to return to Jiangcheng City this afternoon. I'll tell you more when I get back.]

After sending the message, Su Bai put his phone back in his pants pocket.

He looked at Xia Qingyan again.

He noticed that there was still a hint of doubt and worry in Xia Qingyan's eyes, clearly still processing what he had just said about [The Previous Generation Ruler of Destiny] and the “mysterious light and shadow.”

Seeing her lost in thought, Su Bai couldn't help but call out:

“Yan Yan...”

...P.S.:

After thinking about it, I decided to add a note:

Su Bai's previous WeChat nickname: [Perhaps It's a Dream]

Su Bai's latest WeChat nickname: [White Dove]

It might change again as the plot progresses.

Please don't mind these details, all you great Awakened Ones~

Sending a heart ~ (づ￣ 3￣)づ╭♦~
