When "God" Decides To Start Over

"Why don't you come with me to travel around, have some fun, never leave each other's side, and let Qin Shi take care of those things?" Li Xiu smiled.

"Forget it, don't gross me out." Sha Chu rolled her eyes at Li Xiu, swung her long legs, and walked away with a twist.

"Her figure is really impeccable, it's just her personality that's a bit lacking." Watching Sha Chu's departing figure, Li Xiu stroked his chin in thought.

Qin Shi finally saw the large and soft bed Li Xiu had mentioned. Despite her repeated refusals, Li Xiu still let her have the room that used to belong to the Zhongshan City Lord.

"Pervert! What man decorates a room like this?" Looking at the big bed with pink sheets and a lace pink princess canopy, Qin Shi's pretty face blushed as she couldn't help but curse softly.

Apart from the pink bed, there were some paintings on the wall. The women in these paintings were very beautiful, yet their clothing was quite revealing, and their eyes seemed to be alluring, making Qin Shi blush even more.

"Is he hinting something to me… Will he suddenly barge in at night… Should I lock the door… But if I lock the door… will he think I don't trust him…" Qin Shi was very conflicted inside.

Qin Shi somewhat misunderstood Li Xiu; this room was left by the previous Zhongshan City Lord, and the arrangement hadn't changed.

Primarily, Li Xiu didn't care about these things at all and had no money to spend on them.

As for those paintings, Li Xiu found them quite beautiful. Sha Chu mentioned that they seemed to be works of a particularly famous painter and were worth some money.

The first night, Qin Shi didn't sleep well at all. Every little sound outside would make her open her eyes immediately.

Unfortunately, after a restless night, no one came to open her door.

Early the next morning, it was still A Fei who came to call her to breakfast, and Qin Shi felt a bit miffed inside.

After breakfast, Li Xiu stopped Qin Shi: "I've noticed you seem in pretty good shape these days, interested in doing some activities?"

"What do you mean?" The word 'activities' made Qin Shi think of something inappropriate, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

"I have a rookie Magic Armor Master here; how about you give some pointers?" Li Xiu figured since Qin Shi was staying for a while anyway, she might as well help Ye Xiyuan with practice.

Although Ye Xiyuan's talent was excellent, she lacked combat experience. Qin Shi had abundant combat experience, and her abilities were stronger than Qing Shan's, better able to unleash Ye Xiyuan's potential.

"Okay." Qin Shi agreed with delight.

Previously, she couldn't be of any help when out with Li Xiu and didn't understand the Trial Taker stuff, making her feel like a useless housewife.

Now Li Xiu asked her to instruct the Magic Armor Master, which was her field of expertise, and she thought she'd better perform well to avoid Li Xiu looking down on her later.

When Qin Shi saw Ye Xiyuan, she unexpectedly felt a bit of hostility.

Ye Xiyuan was just too beautiful. Qin Shi was a great beauty herself, but seeing Ye Xiyuan made her feel somewhat insecure about her looks.

Both of them could be said to be equally beautiful, but Ye Xiyuan had an indescribable femininity, or rather charm, which attracted men and was something Qin Shi lacked.

"This girl... could she be Li Xiu's kept lover... All men are the same, none of them are good..." Qin Shi examined Ye Xiyuan and felt that in terms of appearance, age, or attractiveness to men, she seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"So what if she's young and beautiful, she's just a pretty face." Qin Shi thought a girl like Ye Xiyuan probably just dabbled for fun and wouldn't actually aim to become a Magic Armor Master to fight on the battlefield.

Qin Shi didn't even realize she unconsciously saw Ye Xiyuan as a rival.

When Qin Shi discovered that Ye Xiyuan's armor was the Ghost-faced Magic Armor, she was taken aback.

"She can use the S-rank Ghost-faced Magic Armor?" Qin Shi found it hard to believe.

When Ye Xiyuan donned the Ghost-faced Magic Armor to spar with Qin Shi, Qin Shi felt a deep sense of failure.

Though it was apparent that Ye Xiyuan's combat experience was lacking, probably due to not experiencing much actual combat, her talent and abilities were at least on par with Qin Shi's, if not superior.

Qin Shi's prideful advantages seemed insignificant in front of Ye Xiyuan.

"With such an outstanding girl by his side, is Li Xiu really destined to be my man?" Qin Shi felt somewhat insecure.

The second night in the City of Light, Qin Shi again didn't sleep well, but this time it wasn't because she was worried about Li Xiu barging in at night; she was pondering whether Li Xiu had any feelings for her and why he hadn't shown any signs.

If he wasn't interested, why was he so nice to her? If he was interested, why hadn't he made a move?

Could it be that she was too cold and scared him off, making Li Xiu afraid to express his feelings?

But if she were too enthusiastic, would Li Xiu think she's a frivolous girl?

For so many days, nothing unfortunate happened around her; he should be her true love, and she shouldn't be so guarded against her. Could he have misunderstood something?

That night, Qin Shi was anxious and didn't sleep much at all.

She suddenly hoped her door would be pushed open, and if Li Xiu really came in forcefully, she might as well go along with it. After all, she was just a weak woman, and it was normal to be powerless against a Trial Taker.

Unfortunately, there was no movement at the door.

If Li Xiu knew Qin Shi was actually waiting for him to push her over, he might have really gone in, but he knew none of this. Currently, Li Xiu was focused on recent news—something had happened in Red Sand City.

Near a small town under Red Sand City's jurisdiction, several terrifying demons had appeared, nearly razing the small town to the ground, thousands perishing, and the town completely destroyed.

Li Xiu looked at the address the Red Sand City Lord had given him before, and it was precisely near the small town mentioned in the news.
