Chapter 1635: Rubik's Cube Beauty (End)

“I'm doing well.”

After learning that the chances of drawing a key had increased, Yi Yingxue became even more motivated.

“Oh… that's good.” Tang Guo smiled and linked arms with Gong Wei. “Keep an eye on Zhai Chenming. The rules of the Rubik's Cube World have changed. If he does anything that harms this world, the power here will target him directly.”

System: He felt that Host had deliberately created this rule just to torment Zhai Chenming.

“All right.” Yi Yingxue nodded. “I'll take him away as soon as possible. We won't cause any more trouble here.”

Turning back, Tang Guo smiled. “Actually, I kind of hope you'll stay. Zhai Chenming doesn't belong here, but you fit in quite well.”

“I actually like this place too.” A faint smile appeared on Yi Yingxue's face. “But I have to take A-Ming away.”

“Then I wish you success as soon as possible.”

After Tang Guo left, Yi Yingxue's smile disappeared.

She wanted to take A-Ming away, but A-Ming might not think the same.

The A-Ming of today was no longer the man she once knew. There wasn't a trace of warmth in his eyes when he looked at her.

But a promise was a promise.

She would fulfill it.

On the day of their wedding, Tang Guo and Gong Wei had bound themselves together with a life-and-death contract.

One day, Gong Wei returned to Sin City to deal with some matters. It should have taken three to five days, but he came back that very same day.

The moment he entered Trading City, he saw Tang Guo waiting there.

“Xiao Guo, were you waiting for me?” Gong Wei stepped forward and hugged her tightly. With lingering relief, he said, “You little liar. Fortunately, I was clever enough to sign that life-and-death contract with you. Otherwise, were you planning to abandon me and leave? You brought me into a bustling and lively world, only to throw me away and send me back into loneliness. That's so cruel.”

Tang Guo laughed and patted his face. “A-Wei, if you keep nagging, you'll be sleeping on the floor tonight.”

“Xiao Guo.” Remembering what he had seen when he returned to Sin City, Gong Wei whispered beside her ear, “A new City Lord is already being born in Sin City. Is Trading City the same?”

“Mhm.”

Tang Guo nodded. “A-Wei, I'm not a liar. Even if you hadn't signed the life-and-death contract with me, I would've told you when I was leaving.”

“How many years are left?”

“Nineteen.”

“That's not so bad.” Gong Wei forcibly squeezed a smile onto his serious face. “Then let's spend the years ahead happily.”

Not long afterward, the other city lords learned of the matter as well. They simply sighed and said nothing more.

Ten years later, a new City Lord of Death City was born—a cold young man dressed in black.

The moment the boy was born, Jun Ming died.

Before his death, he sensed what was coming and wanted to see Tang Guo one last time.

Instead, someone relayed a message to him.

“City Lord doesn't want to see you. She also said that if you want to die, then hurry up and die. If you die with regrets, she'll hold a three-day banquet to celebrate.”

Those words nearly made Jun Ming die from anger.

Not long after Jun Ming died, both Yi Yingxue and Zhai Chenming drew keys to leave.

Yi Yingxue came to bid farewell to Tang Guo and said she would be taking Zhai Chenming away.

Tang Guo smiled and wished her a safe journey.

“A-Ming, let's go.”

Yi Yingxue had already dripped a drop of blood onto the key, and the power of teleportation instantly enveloped her.

Yet Zhai Chenming merely cast her a gloomy glance. Looking down at the key clutched in his iron claw, he flung it far away.

“You like going out so much? Then go by yourself. Unless the Rubik's Cube World is destroyed, I will never leave.”

Yi Yingxue stared blankly at him.

She said nothing.

There was no shock in her eyes, only helplessness and disappointment.

Then she was teleported away.

Zhai Chenming laughed.

Why should he leave?

He had no hands.

If he returned to the outside world, wouldn't he just become a laughingstock?

He would only leave after regaining his hands.

Now that keys were easier to obtain, he could afford to wait.

But before he could finish celebrating, a majestic voice resounded across the sky.

“Zhai Chenming has discarded the key that opens the Rubik's Cube World and committed an act insulting the Rubik's Cube World. By decree of the City Lord, Zhai Chenming is permanently deprived of the opportunity to obtain another key.”

In an instant, Zhai Chenming's face turned deathly pale.

How could this be?

Inside the room, Gong Wei wrapped his arms around Tang Guo's slender waist.

“Xiao Guo, you're too mischievous.”

“He brought it on himself. Acting like he despises it while still wanting it—how annoying.”

Hearing the announcement, Fairy Piaomiao and Silver Ring Wanderer burst into laughter.
