Upon hearing this, the men present all grew serious.
After much deliberation, they exchanged glances without any pretense. Finally, Qin Lang straightened his body and said, "Choose one."
"There are three of us, who do you choose?"
Shen Jianxi didn't have time to ponder the meaning of their earlier glances. Her lips parted slightly, a hint of surprise in her voice, "What do you mean? Is this... an offer for me to choose?"
Could there be such a good thing?
To actually hold the initiative now?
Xia Er gave a wry smile and nodded, "That's right, the choice is in your hands now. Among the three of us, who do you want?"
Although she didn't know what they were up to, this was clearly beneficial to her, and it would be best to resolve it peacefully.
In that case... Shen Jianxi's gaze swept over them one by one, only retracting her eyes when all three felt uncomfortable.
She cleared her throat, the cough making their hearts leap into their throats.
"Then I choose..." she looked back and forth, conflicted, before her gaze finally settled on one person, "...never mind."
Feng Chuyao was, after all, her officially recognized boyfriend. To say she didn't like him would be impossible.
Her feelings for Xia Er were more like those for a younger brother, and her feelings for Qin Lang were even more complex.
Even though their wedding at that time was for a purpose, he was handsome!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and besides, all three of them were handsome in their own ways. It was only natural that she would be attracted to different kinds of handsomeness.
Her decision brought a bitter taste to the three of them, their hearts pounding fiercely.
Their throats felt constricted, and none of them could speak at that moment.
Every face was etched with solemnity.
The air froze at this moment, time stood still, and the world contained only the four of them.
Shen Jianxi saw ripples suddenly appear in the air before her, and then a black hole materialized in the sky.
Before she could even be shocked, she was enveloped by a green light emanating from the black hole.
However, the green light was filled with a vast amount of black mist, making the vibrant green light mingle with many negative emotions.
Shen Jianxi gritted her teeth tightly, her forehead covered in a dense layer of sweat.
The black mist surged within her body, and the emotions of dissatisfaction, hatred, and jealousy they contained instantly assaulted her mind.
The men watched her in agony. They wanted to step forward but could only remain rooted to the spot, their hands clenched by their sides.
After an unknown period, everything vanished. Shen Jianxi's eyes closed tightly, and she fell backward. Just as she was about to hit the ground, six hands appeared behind her simultaneously and caught her.
Shen Jianxi felt as though she hadn't fainted, but rather her soul had been drawn out.
She saw how the world was born, how it came into existence from nothing, and how it became what it is today, with three thousand minor worlds, each distinct.
And she, she had existed since the birth of heaven and earth, likely what mortals referred to as a god.
After a few hundred years, driven by loneliness and isolation, she found 77, and ever since, they had been companions.
At 77's suggestion, Shen Jianxi created immortals, who in turn created humans.
But as time passed, neither the immortals nor the humans were the same as they were at the beginning.
The world she loved was now devastated, ravaged, and filled with ruins. All of this made her feel weary.
As the bearer of the world, all karma and negative emotions were absorbed by her, then purified by spiritual energy to nourish the world.
Over a long period, she grew tired of it all. Unable to bear destroying it, she could only put herself to sleep.
Shen Jianxi saw how she separated all her memories and spiritual energy, and by chance, ended up in the human realm.
Regarding all of this, the immortals she had created, though aware, could not prevent it. They could only find ways for her and 77 to meet, attempting to help her let go of her world-weary thoughts by experiencing one world after another.
Feng Chuyao, Xia Er, and Qin Lang in this world were the final trial. If she could ultimately choose one of the three, it would signify that there was something in this world worth her lingering affection.
Unfortunately, she did not.
It is said that gods love all people, but such a broad love also signifies no love, indicating that there was nothing in this world worth lingering for.
Shen Jianxi saw much more, and only after digesting all of it did she regain consciousness.
The moment she opened her eyes, she met four pairs of reddened eyes.
Three of them were Qin Lang and the others. The remaining one...
Blond hair, blue eyes, lips pressed tightly together, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
Looking at this unfamiliar yet familiar face, Shen Jianxi frowned and tentatively called out, "...77?"
She had been asleep for too long, so long that the faces of these people had become distant, and she wasn't entirely sure.
However, judging by the teardrops falling, she had recognized correctly.
Just as she was about to say something more, she was embraced tightly by 77.
Burying its face in her neck, it said in a muffled voice, "Xi Xi, you're finally awake..."
Then 77 raised its head again, observing Shen Jianxi's expression, and cautiously asked, "Have you... remembered everything?"
Seeing it like this, Shen Jianxi felt a playful urge. She sighed, her expression heavy. Sudan Novel Network
"Yes."
Hearing this, the four people present felt their hearts sink.
"Then you..." 77 swallowed, braced itself, and then dared to continue asking, "What are your thoughts?"
Shen Jianxi did not reply immediately. Instead, she raised her eyes and looked over Qin Lang and the other two.
These three looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall.
She had only created four immortals back then, but as time went by, some worlds generated spiritual energy, and mortals could ascend to become immortals. Therefore, the number of immortals had grown, and there were some she had never seen before.
She couldn't remember clearly. Perhaps they were immortals with whom she had once had a connection.
However, she had indeed met one of them once in another world.
After taking in everyone's expressions, Shen Jianxi smiled brilliantly, pinched 77's face, and said with a laugh, "This world is so interesting, let's go play together!"
