Chapter 1000: Doomsday Big Boss 4

Hearing Xu Jintang’s question, Liu Feifei immediately replied gently, “Jintang, I’m fine. Everyone protected me well. But Wanwan got a fright—she almost didn’t make it back to the car.”

Xu Jintang raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Tang Wan.

If it were the original host, she would already be clinging to him by now, eyes glued to his every move.

But Tang Wan wasn’t interested in him at all.

Instead, she casually swept her gaze over Hu Tongxia, who looked like he was watching a show.

Only then did she give Xu Jintang a brief, indifferent glance.

“I’m fine. Feifei is just overthinking,” she said lightly. “I’m tired, so I’ll head back to rest. You two can talk.”

With that, she walked past them without hesitation and headed toward the air-raid shelter.

Seeing this, Xu Jintang narrowed his eyes.

What was with Tang Wan today?

Usually, she stuck to him like glue, unwilling to leave his side for even a moment. But now she was acting so cold and distant.

Was this some new tactic to get his attention?

At the thought, he sneered inwardly.

No matter what tricks she tried, he wouldn’t spare her another glance.

In his heart, there was only Feifei.

…

Hu Tongxia was equally surprised by Tang Wan’s sudden change in attitude.

Normally, as long as Xu Jintang was within ten meters, Tang Wan would appear without fail.

Only Liu Feifei’s simple nature prevented her from noticing anything unusual.

If anything, Tang Wan’s constant pursuit of Xu Jintang had given Hu Tongxia more chances to spend time with Feifei.

But today, Tang Wan seemed completely indifferent to Xu Jintang.

Strangely enough… he found that a little pleasing.

Frowning slightly, Hu Tongxia glanced at Xu Jintang and Liu Feifei before saying flatly, “I’m heading back too.”

If it were before, he would have mocked Xu Jintang for letting Liu Feifei go out.

In his view, if you truly cared about someone in a world like this, you’d never let them leave your sight—no matter how strong their companions were.

What if something happened and you couldn’t get there in time?

But today, he didn’t feel like saying anything.

Whatever Xu Jintang did with Liu Feifei… what did it have to do with him?

With that thought, Hu Tongxia looked toward the corner where Tang Wan had just disappeared and quickly followed.

…

Catching up to her in a few strides, Hu Tongxia remembered her usual obsession with Xu Jintang and couldn’t help speaking.

“Hey, Tang Wan. What are you playing at now? Planning to give up on Xu Jintang?” he said lazily. “That’s the right choice, honestly. After all, he doesn’t even look at you.”

Hearing this, Tang Wan stopped.

She lifted her eyes and looked at him directly.

Hu Tongxia was momentarily startled, but still met her gaze.

The next moment, Tang Wan let out a soft, mocking laugh.

“And you have the nerve to talk about me?” she said coolly. “Isn’t Feifei the same—only Xu Jintang in her eyes, not you at all? Yet you still stick around her every day.”

At those words, Hu Tongxia chuckled.

Then he instinctively defended himself, “Who’s sticking around her? She’s a healer—too important to risk anything happening to her. I’m protecting her for everyone’s sake.”

WE MADE IT TO 1,000 CHAPTERS!!! 🎉😭

Okay, that's actually kind of insane.

One thousand chapters.

And we still have only about 1,500 chapters to go. 😂

So... how is everyone feeling?!

For those of you who are still here and have been reading this far:

YAY!!! 🎉❤️

Thank you so much for sticking around! It's honestly really nice being able to share a novel that I genuinely enjoy so much with more people, and seeing all of your reactions along the way makes the whole thing even more fun.

And now that we've made it this far, I have to ask:

Which arc has been your favorite so far?

And what about Tongtong? Which version of her has been your favorite?

More importantly...

What do you guys think is actually going on with the overarching story? 👀

We've seen so many different worlds and identities by now, but there are still so many questions hanging over the whole thing.

Who do you think Tongtong really is?

What do you think is going on with Tang Wan?

And what do you think is the actual story behind all these quick-transmigration worlds she's been going through?

Are all these identities connected somehow?
What do you think the bigger mystery is?

I KNOW some of you have theories. 😂

So please, tell me what you're thinking!

I would genuinely love to hear your theories, even if they're completely wild and turn out to be spectacularly wrong. That's half the fun. 😂

Anyway...

1,000 chapters down. 🎉

Only another ~1,500 to go.

We're really doing this, huh? 😭😂

Thank you again to everyone who's still reading. And please do talk to me in the comments! I would absolutely love to discuss the arcs, the characters, the mysteries, and all your wild theories with you.

Here's to the next thousand chapters! 🥂😂
