473: If you don't love me, don't force it.

“What an insightful fellow.”

Thor had just said that Qin Shilei lacked insight, but Qin Shilei felt that the other party was very insightful.

“How did you summon that deity named Thor just now?” Qin Shilei asked the two of them.

“We were originally followers of Thor. By chance, we suddenly connected with him spiritually and obtained a summoning incantation and a summoning array. With these, we could try to summon him,” the middle-aged man answered truthfully.

“How much do you know about Thor?” Qin Shilei asked again.

“Thor is the supreme deity. He will surely lead us into the Divine Realm one day, where we will live a beautiful and happy life from then on.”

The middle-aged man said with a fervent and longing expression.

Alright, there was no way to get any useful information from such a loyal believer.

Qin Shilei’s expression suddenly turned cold. “How did you know that the daughter Mary gave birth to was mine? Whose idea was the kidnapping, and how many people were involved in this matter?”

The middle-aged man confessed, “We learned from Willow Jade Book that the child Mary was carrying was yours, and it was his idea. The entire plan was designed by us. There were fewer than ten people actually involved in this matter. The two of us, plus the three doctors and nurses I killed, Willow Jade Book, and a subordinate who relayed messages near the palace.”

“Hmph,” Qin Shilei snorted, “Aren’t you afraid that if things fail, I’ll grind your bones to dust?”

A ruthless glint suddenly flashed in the middle-aged man’s dull eyes. “Why is it that you, Qin An King, could become a Diamond expert in just over a year? If I could use this infant to uncover the secret of your rapid advancement and obtain all your treasures, perhaps I could also become a deity as powerful as Thor.

With the invasion of foreign powerhouses imminent, if I can’t quickly make myself stronger, I will one day become food for the foreign races. Why not take a gamble?”

Although the other party could summon Thor, Thor temporarily had no way to help them advance to Platinum.

Under the pressure of the foreign invasion, they had no choice but to set their sights on the Enlightenment Tea, a treasure that was extremely beneficial for advancement.

Hence their risky act of kidnapping.

Then, Qin Shilei learned from the other party that only the middle-aged man knew the incantation and array for summoning Thor.

Qin Shilei waved his hand, throwing the two of them into space to be imprisoned, then transformed into a phantom and flew back to Calvia.

Before leaving, he unleashed a Devouring Thunder, reducing the entire town to ruins.

The Evolution practitioners in the town, of course, were also scorched to charcoal, dead beyond dead.

When he returned to the palace, Willow Jade Book had already been subdued by Mary and thrown to the ground.

“Why are there two Qin An Kings?” Willow Jade Book looked at Qin Shilei, then at Zhang Xiaoli wearing the Faceless Mask, with a surprised expression.

“Where is my daughter?” Mary rushed to Qin Shilei like the wind, asking with an anxious expression.

“Wait for me.”

Qin Shilei instantly vanished before her, then reappeared in the same spot with an infant in his arms less than ten seconds later.

Mary snatched her daughter into her arms, gently caressing the sleeping infant’s cheek with her face. “My darling, I thought I’d never see you again.”

Qin Shilei looked at the infant in Mary’s arms and actually wanted to go forward and get closer, but seeing Willow Jade Book on the ground, he temporarily suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He pulled out the middle-aged man, the clown, and a lean man from the Blessed Land and threw them next to Willow Jade Book.

The lean man was the one who had been relaying messages to the middle-aged man not far from the palace.

“Why are there two Qin Shileis?”

Willow Jade Book’s gaze darted between Qin Shilei and Zhang Xiaoli, his face full of disbelief.

“Look closely, who am I?”

Zhang Xiaoli removed her Faceless Mask, saying with a playful expression.

“Then her?” Willow Jade Book pointed to the Wood Doppelganger, who looked exactly like Zhang Xiaoli.

Zhang Xiaoli did not dismiss her Wood Doppelganger, nor did she intend to continue explaining to the other party.

“It’s no wonder we lost! We thought we could keep all of you here, and easily evade your search through the trading system. But we never expected a flash of light to allow Qin An King to escape, and in just over ten minutes, find the infant hidden hundreds of kilometers away.”

Willow Jade Book looked utterly dejected.

He suddenly pulled out a dagger and plunged it forcefully into his chest.

“It won’t be that easy to die.”

Mary, who was holding her daughter, suddenly teleported in front of him and kicked away his dagger.

“Guards! Drag him out and sentence him to death by a thousand cuts!”

Several Golden Realm guards walked in from outside, dragging the four people out.

Soon, the miserable wails of the four could be heard from outside.

These wails continued until the middle of the night before finally stopping.

In the grand hall, Mary, holding her daughter, turned her back to Qin Shilei and said coldly, “Thank you, His Royal Highness Qin An King, for retrieving my daughter for this empress.

One day, this empress will surely present an orange-tier item as a gift of gratitude.

Now, this empress is tired and unable to entertain His Royal Highness Qin An King and your ladies. Please leave.”

Qin Shilei cast an apologetic glance at his three wives, then resolutely walked in front of Mary.

“Mary, this is our daughter. To ensure her healthier growth, I believe we should accompany her as she grows up.”

Mary said unequivocally, “This is only my daughter. She doesn’t need your company.”

An Qian, who was nearby, suddenly spoke, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Calvia. Sister Qingshu, Zhang Xiaoli, let’s go out and look around.”

“Okay,” Kong Qingshu and Zhang Xiaoli responded in unison.

The three women turned and walked out of the hall.

Qin Shilei suddenly knelt on one knee, “Mary, marry me!”

He held a dazzling Diamond ring in his right hand and extended it towards her.

Looking at the Diamond ring before her, a hint of confusion flashed in Mary’s eyes, then quickly cleared. “His Royal Highness Qin An King, do you love me?”

Qin Shilei hesitated for a moment, “Yes, I love you!”

Mary looked directly into his eyes and asked again solemnly, “Do you truly love me?”

Qin Shilei opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only confess, “I don’t have a profound, unforgettable love for you. But love can be cultivated. You also cannot deny that I have a good impression of you.

With our daughter as a bond, I believe sparks of love will ignite between us very soon.”

Mary said indifferently, “Then, when you fall in love with me, propose to me again! ”

Qin Shilei silently put away the Diamond ring and stood up.

“Mary, come back to Great Xia with me. For the safety of you and your daughter, and for our daughter to have her parents’ companionship as she grows.”

Mary scoffed, “Since you care so much about our daughter, you can completely stay in the Empire of the Setting Sun.

What, do we women have to always accommodate you men?”

Qin Shilei then brought up the matter of Thor and other deities, and then asked again, “Mary, it’s really very dangerous for you to stay here. You should still come back to Great Xia with me.

I can allocate a large territory for the survivors of your Empire of the Setting Sun to live, and you can also resettle them into the world of Amelia.”

A hint of hesitation flashed in Mary’s eyes, but in the end, she shook her head. “I’ll say it again, when you fall in love with me, then come and talk to me about these things. Please leave!”
