Master Lei naturally wouldn't be angry with his wife. He wasn't so fragile in his self-esteem that he needed to lash out at his woman to satisfy some pathetic pride.

"It's fine, continue," Wan Lei patted Fang Xiaoyu's exposed, delicate shoulder.

"Mm, the last time I went out, I searched for seven or eight days and didn't find any Lei beasts. Just as I was about to head back, I suddenly encountered a Qilin shimmering with golden light.

It was truly golden, as if it was saying to me, 'Come kill me, drop equipment on me, the best equipment!'

So, I went to kill it.

I fought it all the way, and it ran all the way. It ran for several days, covering a great distance, before I finally managed to kill it.

I obtained that mechanical armor.

It was my own greed, though, to follow it into its lair. There was actually another Great Ascension stage Lei beast there.

So, I ran. But I couldn't outrun it, so I fought it. I also couldn't defeat it, so I had to rely on formations to hold on.

At that time, I was desperate. I had already prepared my final words for you. I never expected you to suddenly appear..."

Fang Xiaoyu's eyes widened as she spoke, and she covered her mouth.

"Final words? Where are they?"

Master Lei chuckled mischievously. From Fang Xiaoyu's reaction, he had already guessed that the stone box he found was likely Fang Xiaoyu's "final words."

"No, there are no final words. They were all destroyed during the battle."

Fang Xiaoyu's small face was flushed red; she was clearly lying.

"Alright, you continue," he said, affectionately ruffling his little sister Yu's hair.

"Continue... When you pushed me away then, I was truly furious. Why did you always have to shield me? If I ever have the chance, I will block a sword for you too.

My heart changed little by little. From feeling fond of you, to thinking you were alright, to being certain of you, to deciding to spend my life with you, up to this very moment.

Even if... even if you truly can never stand up again, I will still take care of you for a lifetime. I'll take you wherever I go and tell the whole world, 'This is my husband.'

Then, on the day you die, I will die with you. We'll go to the netherworld together, cultivate together, and be together forever.

You saved me six times: once on the Ten Thousand Proud List, once from the demon race, once during my breakthrough to Nascent Soul, the first Lei beast tide, the second Lei beast tide, and this time.

I owe you too much."

"So... is it because you're grateful that you feel this way towards me?"

"Of course not! I've said so much already, precisely because I was afraid you'd think that. Am I, Fang Xiaoyu, the kind of person who would offer herself in marriage just to repay a debt of gratitude?

If I don't love someone, can I spend my life with them, even give them my body? Do you know how proud I am?

Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore, you dead man!"

"Okay, okay, my wife is the best. Don't be angry, don't be angry," Master Lei quickly hugged his wife and began to coax her.

"Come, let me see what final words my wife left for me," he said, reaching out and picking up the storage bag from the bedside.

To open a storage bag, energy was required – either spiritual energy, lightning power, or divine consciousness.

After all, storage bags recognized their owners.

Although Wan Lei had no energy left, his soul was undamaged, and his divine consciousness was still usable.

He opened the storage bag, took out the stone box, nudged his wife aside, cleared some space, and opened the box.

Then... he looked at the jade slip, encased in spiritual energy, and fell into thought.

"Hehehe... you can't open it, can you? That'll make you mad!"

"Either you open it for me now and let me listen, or I'll probe it with my divine consciousness and listen myself."

"...I will not open it for you."

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's uncooperativeness, Master Lei's expression turned grim, and he decided to use his ultimate move.

"Wifey~ Mmm~ I want to hear it~ *whimper*~"

"That's disgusting, here you go."

The power of acting cute was truly terrifying!

"Heh, what can't I handle?"

The recorded message played, and Fang Xiaoyu covered her blushing face with both hands, not daring to look up.

"I'm sorry. I was too greedy this time. I can't go back, and I can't protect you anymore. The only thing I can do is not bring this Lei beast back to the Boundless Primordial Array, to prevent it from harming you.

Wan Lei, you're a jerk, you're unbelievably stupid, so impulsive, and you always rush to be a hero. What will you do after I'm gone? Will you look for that little vixen?

I don't regret coming to the Lei Star Sea with you. These have been the happiest, most carefree times of my life. I love you, and I want to marry you.

If... if I don't die this time, will you marry me?

Never mind, I'm still going to die.

I love you, remember me."

Every word struck a chord in Wan Lei's heart.

While his wife was still covering her face, Master Lei wiped away a tear and said with a smile, "Oh, my wife proposed to me. Should I accept?"

"Get lost! Who proposed to you? Shameless!"

"I do."

"What?"

Fang Xiaoyu lowered her hands and looked at Wan Lei in surprise.

"Do what?"

"I'm willing to marry you."

"Stop talking, it's too embarrassing, aaaaahhhhhh..."

"And I won't look for any other little vixens."

Master Lei pulled his wife into his arms. Looking at her shyly smiling, charming face, his primal instincts flared.

"Wife, I want you."

"No, your body is weak. You can't keep doing this."

"It's okay, I'll just lie here and not move."

"...Aren't you ashamed?"

"What do I need shame for? I only want my wife."

"I really can't do anything about you. I feel like I'm spoiling you too much."

Fang Xiaoyu glared at Wan Lei with feigned annoyance.

"It feels so good to be spoiled," Master Lei boasted again.

Fang Xiaoyu got up.

"Wait a moment."

"What now?"

Master Lei reached out and touched his wife's cherry lips.

"..."

"Perhaps you should wash up first. You're too dirty."

...

An hour later...

"I'm so tired," Little Sister Yu lay on Wan Lei, unable to move, her body drenched in sweat.

"Wife, you've worked hard. When I can move, I won't let you get so tired," Master Lei hugged his wife with great affection.

*You didn't feel this way before we did this, you big pig's trotter!*

"Husband, we need to make three rules. From now on, you can't... Huh?"

Fang Xiaoyu said this and then suddenly sat up.

"What's wrong?"

"Your... your injuries, how have they healed so much?!"

Fang Xiaoyu pointed at Wan Lei's body, her voice filled with astonishment.

She had cleaned Wan Lei's body over and over again and knew precisely how terrifying the cracks on him were.

But now, these cracks had all become smaller. Some of the already small cracks had disappeared entirely.

"Is that true? What's happening? Is it because of... our activity?"

"Ptooey! What are you thinking? Dream on!"
