Chapter 372 Decision to Provide Support
Chapter 372 Decision to Provide Support
Although he broke free, Keisha did not chase after him to continue "attacking" him.
She just stared at him by the coffee table with a malicious look.
His half-closed eyes made him look quite "fierce and menacing"!
It's as if they don't care about someone at all.
She didn't say anything, just kept glaring at him with unfriendly eyes.
It was as if she was waiting for him to apologize and admit his mistake.
"You tigress! What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Don't you know I feel pain too? Huh?"
Carlos rubbed his arms and shoulders for a while, and once the pain subsided slightly, he decisively began to complain loudly.
"Who do you say is the tigress?"
Keisha didn't get a chance to hear him say nice things to coax her; instead, he scolded her, and her face immediately darkened.
"..."
Seeing her face darken, Carlos didn't dare to argue with her at that moment.
His arms and left shoulder simply couldn't withstand her abuse.
"I'm asking you a question. Do you think I'm a tigress?"
Seeing that he remained silent, Keisha's brows furrowed even more.
It's like they could explode at any moment.
"No, no, I misspoke in the heat of the moment. My wife is so gentle, considerate, beautiful and charming, how could she be a tigress?"
Sensing the ferocity in her eyes, Carlos immediately changed his attitude.
He went over with a smile to massage Keisha's shoulders and back.
That's real cowardice!
"Hmph, don't think I don't know you're secretly cursing me in your heart."
Although he came over to fawn over her, Keisha remained relentless.
She even turned her face to the side, deliberately avoiding looking at him.
"I really don't, my wife. I'm not the kind of person to gossip behind people's backs, really."
Seeing that she wouldn't stop, Carlos could only smile apologetically and continue to try to please her.
There was nothing he could do; he had run into Li Hanyi II.
I can only accept my fate.
"Tch, nobody would believe you."
Keisha snorted coldly, still refusing to forgive him for the words he had blurted out in a moment of passion.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. How about this, I'll give you a small gift, and we'll let bygones be bygones, okay?"
Seeing her like this, Carlos had no choice but to think of other ways to coax her.
After all, couples shouldn't hold grudges overnight, and he didn't want to be unable to even get into bed that night.
"what?"
When Keisha heard that he was going to give her a gift, she turned to look at him.
"you guess?"
As he spoke, Carlos stopped massaging her back and shoulders and hid his hands behind his back.
It's as if they're about to do something shady.
"No guessing"
Seeing his grinning face, Keisha deliberately put on a stern expression.
"Fine, then close your eyes."
Carlos didn't care about her retort and still had a smile on his face.
"..."
Seeing that he insisted on giving her a "surprise," Keisha had no choice but to close her eyes.
At the same time, he pursed his lips impatiently.
It seemed that closing her eyes was something that was very difficult for her.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now."
At that moment, Carlos extended his hand, which had been hidden behind his back, to her.
His hands were no longer empty; instead, they now held a necklace.
The necklace is entirely silver-white, with a hollow design throughout, the hollow patterns being clusters of connected hearts.
Its pendant is a blue teardrop-shaped gemstone the size of a pigeon's egg.
Two butterflies with outstretched wings are located where the pendant and necklace meet.
The butterfly's wings were covered with tiny, sparkling diamonds.
This makes the entire necklace look extremely luxurious.
"Hmm? It's quite pretty. Put it on me."
Seeing that the necklace in his hand was quite nice, Keisha finally smiled slightly.
He even stretched his neck forward.
Seeing that she had finally stopped looking stern, Carlos hurriedly put the necklace on her white neck.
"Like it?"
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
However, his action caused Keisha to frown again.
She didn't break free from his embrace, but merely pouted and complained.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know this necklace was hastily made by you using that so-called engine. You didn't put in any effort at all."
Keisha still vividly remembered the scene of him building a ship out of thin air when he was in the Void Continent.
She knew perfectly well that the rings and necklaces he gave her were not crafted by artisans.
Of course, although the item wasn't carved by human hands, she still liked it very much.
"Oh? You can't say that. This necklace was indeed made by your husband using the matter engine, but I had to design it myself. How can you say I didn't put my heart into it? Could it be that the design I put in doesn't suit your taste, my wife?"
Hearing her complaining tone, Carlos immediately defended himself.
Because he truly put a lot of effort into designing the styles and shapes of those little gadgets.
Otherwise, how could it be so exquisite and luxurious?
No, your taste matches mine quite well.
Keisha, held in his arms, shook her head slightly, seemingly approving of his aesthetic sense.
"Of course we'll go together! We're a match made in heaven!"
When the beautiful woman praised his taste, Carlos boldly pressed his advantage.
He leaned over and took a deep breath into the crook of her neck.
They even left red marks on Keisha's white neck!
"Hey, stop messing around! I'm not in the mood for this right now!"
Caught off guard by his hickey, Keisha couldn't help but break free from his embrace.
He even deliberately showed a displeased expression.
"What's wrong, my wife? I just gave you a kiss, why are you getting angry with me?"
Seeing her break free from his embrace, Carlos dared not be so frivolous anymore.
He sat obediently on the sofa and watched her.
"Not being angry means I don't want to be."
Keisha gave him a disapproving look, then glanced at the television in front of her.
"Is it because of that that you're upset? Then tell me, what do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you say."
Seeing her like this, how could Carlos not understand what she was thinking?
They decisively seized the opportunity to express their stance.
"You're overthinking it; it's not because of that."
Keisha didn't turn to look at him, but a hint of loneliness seemed to creep onto her face.
Yes, she was thinking about He Xi, wondering how she should behave if she saw He Xi again in the future.
Although she planned to live a secluded life with him, becoming a carefree and idyllic couple.
But after learning that Hua Ye was going to attack Mero City, she began to feel uneasy again.
She couldn't help but want to go back, but she felt ashamed to face her best friend.
After all, no matter what, it was because of her influence that he chose to abandon He Xi and turn to her.
If it weren't for her interference, even if He Xi resented him and wanted to "avenge" her and Angel Nebula,
But as long as he persists, He Xi is unlikely to be so heartless as to kill him or hate him forever.
She knew He Xi; "she" would never do that.
So she's very distressed now, because sometimes she feels like she's the one who stole He Xi's boyfriend.
She severed the connection between He Xi and him.
It's as if she's wronged He Xi.
This really bothered her.
"What's that for?"
When she denied it, Carlos was a little confused.
"I don't want to talk about it."
Keisha shook her head, not mentioning that she wanted to go home.
Because she hadn't decided whether she should go back.
After all, she had finally managed to relieve herself of the heavy burden of being the Angel Queen and relax.
She truly did not want to go back to toil for the entire civilization.
"Fine, fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
Seeing that she shook her head, Carlos did not press her further.
He simply reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
Keisha didn't resist anything, she just stared straight at the television.
Watching what's playing on TV.
About five minutes later, Keisha finally made a move.
She let out a long breath, then turned her head to look at him beside her.
"Husband?"
"Hmm? What's wrong, my wife?"
Hearing that her tone had returned to normal, Carlos immediately perked up.
"Although I don't believe that guy can cause any real trouble, just in case, you should still go to Melo and help He Xi. I'm afraid that Karl might secretly develop some kind of black technology to target Angel Nebula again."
After thinking it over, Keisha decided not to show herself.
She asked him to go back in her place and help He Xi overcome the difficulties.
After all, once she goes back, it will be difficult for her to live such a carefree and comfortable life again.
She is unwilling to give up her current life.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll go whenever you say."
As he spoke, Carlos placed the hand that was on her shoulder on her waist.
He reached over with his other arm and hooked it around her knees, pulling her onto his lap.
However, he didn't do anything frivolous; he simply held her in his arms.
Keisha was no longer as upset as before, and she did not resist his hug at all.
She obediently sat on his lap and leaned against him.
Feeling his firm and warm chest, Keisha narrowed her eyes slightly.
She parted her pink lips slightly and said.
"Hua Ye has just returned to power. Even with Karl's help, he won't directly engage in a decisive battle with Melo. If he attacks Melo's Heavenly Court, it's definitely to reclaim his Heavenly Palace so he can regroup his million-strong army of celestial foes before launching a full-scale attack on Melo."
“Melo currently only has about 20,000 garrison troops; the rest are mostly research angels or prospective angels, with little combat power. If they were to truly clash with a million Fallen Angels, even with He Xi's skillful command, their troop deployment would inevitably be stretched thin.”
"Here's what we'll do: once you get there, you must help He Xi guard the sealed-off Heavenly Palace, and prevent that guy from having the chance to regroup his old forces. Of course, if you have the opportunity to kill him, you should just eliminate this future threat for Angel Nebula."
Keisha briefly explained her plan.
Towards the end, her eyebrows were noticeably less relaxed than before.
Clearly, she still harbors deep hatred for the scoundrel king who persecuted her.
That was the only stain on her angelic career, and now she was going to remove it.
"Don't worry, my wife, I know what to do."
Carlos nodded, indicating that he did not refuse her.
After all, he himself didn't really like that scoundrel who murdered his father and king.
Now that Keisha is his woman, he certainly doesn't want to let the person who hurt her live any longer.
When are you planning to go?
Upon hearing his "guarantee," Keisha closed her eyes completely.
Feel his body temperature and heartbeat with your whole being.
"Let's wait a few more days. That guy shouldn't attack Melo so quickly; he needs to recruit some new men."
Carlos tightened his grip around her waist and gently inhaled the fragrance of her golden silk.
"What? Afraid of being too embarrassed to face He Xi if you go too early?"
Seeing that he was unwilling to set off to provide support immediately, Keisha instantly guessed what he was worried about.
They pointed it out to him directly and openly.
"Of course! Last time she said she'd chop me up if I ever showed up in front of her again."
Carlos didn't find anything difficult to admit.
They even revealed the "specific" reasons why he didn't want to go early!
The main reason was that He Xi's sword strike last time really caught him off guard.
"Look at how petty you are! Even if He Xi really did kill you, it would be your own fault! Who told you to make her search for you for ten thousand years? Tsk, just thinking about it makes me want to pinch you again, you scumbag!"
Upon learning that he was afraid of being attacked by He Xi and that was why he was reluctant to go to provide support sooner, Keisha subconsciously frowned.
And as she was talking, she put her hand on his arm again!
However, this time Carlos didn't let her succeed, and directly pushed away Keisha's "weapon".
"You can't say that, my wife. Do you expect me to go to Hexi and tell her I've changed my mind, and ask her if she can forgive me and we can get back together?"
"you dare!"
Upon hearing him say that, Keisha's eyes widened instantly.
She even reached out and pinched his ear as a threat.
Clearly, she was genuinely afraid that he might want to go back to his ex.
"Look, since you don't want me and He Xi to go back to the way things were, then stop bringing up how I let her down, okay?"
Seeing that she only pinched his ear and didn't actually pinch it hard, Carlos felt a little relieved.
"Hmph, what? You don't dare admit what you've done? You won't even let me talk about it?"
Keisha didn't let go of his ear; instead, she narrowed her eyes and gave him a threatening look.
It was as if she might make him pay at any moment.
"Oh, my dear wife, can you please stop dwelling on my past with He Xi? Besides, I didn't mean to let her down. I've already told you, I was busy looking for my sister at the time, and I wasn't in a good state to accept her."
Feeling the pressure from the two fingers pinching his ear increasing, Carlos felt helpless.
He could only plead with his wife in a gentle and polite manner.
"Nonsense! If you had deliberately let her down, deliberately avoided her and refused to give her an answer, I would have strangled you for He Xi long ago! How could I have tolerated a heartless man like you living until now?"
Keisha scoffed at his explanation and even released his ear, grabbing his neck with her hand!
"Yes, yes, my wife is right. I am proud to have married such a magnanimous wife."
Threatened like that, Carlos could only force a smile and comply with her wishes.
They didn't even have the slightest thought of resistance.
Stop flattering me! Tell me, you scumbag, shouldn't I pinch you?
Seeing that he was trying to change the subject, Keisha tightened her grip on his neck.
"I should strangle him, but not now. I still have unfulfilled wishes; I don't want to die, and I can't die."
Seeing that she wouldn't let it go and actually pinched him hard, Carlos couldn't help but have a wicked idea.
He put a hand on her shoulder.
"What wish?"
Keisha didn't notice anything unusual; she simply raised an eyebrow at him.
"Of course, I want my wife to give me a little angel!"
Before he finished speaking, Carlos pushed Keisha down onto the sofa.
Completely ignoring Keisha's struggles and pleas for mercy, he pressed down on her.
