And Xiao Jinsheng, on the other hand, acted especially familiar and affectionate toward him.
She had no qualms about keeping the fact that she’s his future Beast Husband on the tip of her tongue.
The more he thought about it, the closer he got to this absurd conclusion, and Shi Xie’s heart grew increasingly confused.
His deep blue eyes fell on Xiao Jinsheng’s troubled face, brimming with doubts.
Where... exactly are you from?
"Are you trying to chase away?" Xiao Jinsheng looked hurt.
Shi Xie froze, watching her reaction; he found himself struggling to respond.
"You’re looking for excuses to chase away again, aren’t you?" Xiao Jinsheng raised her hand to wipe away tears, her eyes reddening, her expression wounded.
What a joke.
She had endured the seven Beast Husband shura fields before.
And now she was just facing Shi Xie alone.
An inexperienced Shi Xie in his adolescent years.
If she wanted to fool him, it would be an effortless task.
"I was just asking if you’d stay here with ," Shi Xie explained.
Xiao Jinsheng shook her head, refusing to listen.
Clutching her chest, breathing laboriously, she said, "No need to explain. Say all you want, you just want to chase away."
"But I just healed you and used a lot of Superpower Energy," Xiao Jinsheng said weakly. "Even if you want to chase out, can’t you at least let stay two more days to rest?"
"I promise, since you don’t like , when the two days are over, at the 48th hour, I’ll disappear from your sight automatically."
Shi Xie was taken aback by her accusations, his expression stunned, unable to react.
At first, he wasn’t quite comfortable with Xiao Jinsheng’s familiarity and enthusiasm and didn’t dare get too close to her.
But now...
The more he thought about it, the more his ears were tinged with red.
Lowering his gaze, his eyes fell on his chest, where the icy blue rmaid Contract Totem still glowed.
That fleeting kiss, soft and transient, lingered in his mind as if it had just happened a second ago.
He thought, he believed her.
Believed in Xiao Jinsheng’s words.
That he and she would be husband and wife in the future.
Yet, when he moved from fearing touch to opening up his heart and accepting her...
Shi Xie suddenly realized that Xiao Jinsheng was backing out.
Faced with his questions, she dodged responsibility and redirected the topic.
The answers she gave were filled with perfunctory responses.
It was as if the statents about being his future Female Master and him being her future Beast Husband were re idle jokes made to amuse him.
And because they were jokes, they weren’t to be taken seriously, thus no promises were given.
And because they were jokes, when commitnts were ntioned, naturally, panic caused her words to derail.
"Stay as long as you want," Shi Xie said coldly.
With that, he reached out to Xiao Jinsheng.
Xiao Jinsheng skillfully placed her hand into his palm and t Shi Xie’s puzzled gaze.
She tilted her head, "Weren’t you trying to hold my hand?"
"Shouldn’t you be doing sothing important right now?" Shi Xie asked.
"Is your heart hurting again?" Xiao Jinsheng asked anxiously, her palm already glowing with Healing Elent light.
Shi Xie sighed helplessly, his cold gaze fixed on her as he reminded her deliberately, "To bind the marriage relationship at the terminal."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinsheng jolted.
She glanced at her Star Map, which didn’t respond—the ti had completely stopped.
At this mont, within this tiline, she couldn’t use her Star Map at all.
Neither could she, standing in the past seven years ago, connect with the terminal in the future seven years ahead.
Naturally, she couldn’t bind the marriage relationship to the terminal right now with Shi Xie.
"You aggressively forced into signing the Contractual Totem, shouldn’t you take responsibility?" Shi Xie prodded, seeing her hesitating with a conflicted and frustrated expression.
"Ow!" Xiao Jinsheng clutched her stomach, groaning, "My belly hurts, I feel terrible."
"You’re faking it again," Shi Xie asserted confidently. "Aren’t you a Healing Elent Superpower?"
Since they t, Xiao Jinsheng had been unreliable.
If it wasn’t a headache, it was chest pain, and if not, then stomach pain.
"Physicians cannot heal themselves," Xiao Jinsheng replied weakly.
Yet, she still mustered a faint glow from her Healing Elent to treat herself, continuing to argue, "Binding a marriage relationship through the terminal will definitely happen, but one must pick an auspicious date for matters like this."
"After all, it’s a once-in-a-lifeti event, and we must treat it seriously, not casually."
"How about waiting a couple of days before binding the marriage relationship? Give 48 hours?"
"Do as you wish," Shi Xie said coldly, turning his face away and deliberately showing his back.
He’d learned his lesson.
Xiao Jinsheng rarely spoke a word of truth.
Seeing his anger, Xiao Jinsheng felt helpless.
She couldn’t reveal the truth that she was from seven years in the future.
Whenever she attempted to imply anything, her words were completely blocked by the rules of this world.
In contrast, anything spoken in jest managed to pass without incident.
But even with her joking explanations, she wasn’t sure if Shi Xie understood the hints within.
After all, adolescent Shi Xie had a bad temper.
Thinking about it, Xiao Jinsheng reached out to grab Shi Xie’s hand, her tone playful yet filled with implication, saying coyly, "Just wait out these 48 hours of obstacles."
"I’ve told you, I’m your future Female Master, and that ans we’ll definitely bind the marriage relationship at the terminal."
"Does it absolutely have to wait 48 hours to bind?" Shi Xie glanced back.
"Yes, it absolutely has to wait. We need to pick an auspicious date," Xiao Jinsheng replied with a smile.
"You keep claiming that you’re my future Female Master," Shi Xie stared at her with suspicion and asked, "In actuality... you don’t belong to this world, do you?"
As soon as those words left his lips, Shi Xie found that Xiao Jinsheng showed no response.
Even he himself didn’t hear the second half of his question successfully spoken aloud.
"Of course, I’m your future Female Master," Xiao Jinsheng emphasized.
Shi Xie fell into silence.
After a long pause, he finally spoke in a murky voice, "I understand now."
He thought, no matter how many doubts he had.
Since Xiao Jinsheng kept ntioning a specific point in ti.
When that ti arrives, perhaps all his questions could finally be answered.
Seeing that her hints seed to be working, Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t resist smiling as she flipped onto the shell bed.
"I’m the one sleeping on this bed now," Shi Xie reminded weakly.
"And what of it?" Xiao Jinsheng grabbed his pillow. "Don’t tell you expect to sleep on the floor instead?"
"No, I an I’ll sleep on the floor," Shi Xie replied, preparing to leave the bed.
But before he could step off, Xiao Jinsheng tied him back to the bed with water chains.
"You’re injured; obediently sleep on the bed," Xiao Jinsheng insisted.
To make things easier, she directly bound Shi Xie tightly to the shell bed.
With his powers at their current level, Shi Xie couldn’t resist her control.
"Alright, I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep now, don’t bother ," Xiao Jinsheng said before closing her eyes in exhaustion.
She realized it now. It was no wonder she hadn’t felt sleepy when lying in the shell bed alone earlier.
As she suspected, when Shi Xie wasn’t nearby, she couldn’t feel at ease.
hours. She just needed to endure these 48 hours, ensuring Bai Yan wouldn’t get the chance to target Shi Xie.
When the ti cos.
Bai Yan would return; Insect Brain would return, and she herself would naturally return as well.
That day, Shi Xie’s nerves had been taut the entire ti.
Until he was rescued by Xiao Jinsheng, had an episode, and teetered on the brink of death.
The ti spent knowing Xiao Jinsheng had been brief.
Yet, for so inexplicable reason, perhaps tied to the rmaid Contract Totem between them...
At this mont, with Xiao Jinsheng sleeping beside him, he felt no discomfort.
Instead, there was an odd sense of peace.
