“It’s been more than 2 months since you came out, including your time in the human world.” Catherine looked at the 2 moons above her head and sighed, “It’s time to go back.”

Chen Rui laughed, “My Royal Majesty Empress, are you going to send me off after using me? Your strength is not yet…”

“Don’t you miss them?” Catherine looked him in the eyes, “Don’t tell me you were thinking of me the other day when you were in a daze.”

Chen Rui was startled and lowered his head, “I’m sorry. I feel like an asshole now.”

“I have a different opinion on this.” Catherine shook her head solemnly, “Not ‘now’, you ‘always’ have been an asshole.”

Chen Rui smiled wryly, “I admit it.”

“It’s just that a foolish woman can’t live without this bastard.” Catherine kissed his face, “Who asked this bastard to be her man, her daughter’s father?”

“Catherine…”

“I’m not the only foolish woman, right? The Royal Highness Prince Consort who should be proud?” Catherine smiled slightly, “However, the most important thing for you now is to be with Athena. She is the woman who needs you the most. I know you miss her, and you miss them. Although I’m a little jealous, I can imagine that when I’m not by your side, you’ll miss me the same way. This way, my mood is more balanced. “

Chen Rui nodded and hugged the Dark Shadow Empire’s empress’ waist lightly, “I’m sorry. The ignorant bastard wasn’t by your side when you needed him the most.”

He was talking about when Catherine was pregnant. At that time, he didn’t even know she was pregnant with Duoduo, and he only wanted to beat Catherine and Raizen.

“The reason we get to where we are today is because of you and our daughter… No matter what the outcome is, I will have no regrets, and neither should you.” Catherine rested her head gently on his shoulders, “I know that you will face many tough battles in the future. Even if we can’t be of your help, we will never be a burden. You don’t have to think too much about it. If you think you should do it, then do it.”

Chen Rui nodded and didn’t speak. He just hugged her tighter. What else could he say to such a woman?

“Considering your excellent performance recently…” Catherine suddenly smiled mysteriously and whispered in his ear, “I’ll give you a special reward.”

“What special reward?” Chen Rui’s eyes lit up. Her Majesty Empress’ last ‘special reward’ was to offer the chastity that he had always coveted.

“Listen to me this time, let’s go to the inherited universe first, shall we?”

“Do you mean to… do at there?” Chen Rui was surprised by this suggestion. After becoming the ‘Wisdom Goddess’, Catherine had a trace of her soul that would stay in the Super System’s Galaxy Divinity Statue forever. Usually, it would automatically accept the Super System galaxy’s faith as well as life force and feedback it to her original body. Her consciousness could freely enter the Super System under the premise that Chen Rui had given enough permission. She could overlap with the trace of the soul and gain self-consciousness.

“Can’t I?” Catherine’s star-like black eyes flashed with a trace of wisdom.

“Sure.”

In the blink of an eye, the 2 had appeared at the Galaxy Divinity Temple.

“It’s a very beautiful palace, although it’s not the first time I’ve come here.” Catherine took Chen Rui’s hand and walked all the way into a bedroom in the palace complex.

This was Catherine’s ‘Wisdom Palace’, where everything could be arranged and changed according to Catherine’s wishes.

“In a place like this, we are in a soul state…” Chen Rui hugged Her Majesty Empress’ slim waist without a trace of fat, and winked, “You know.”

Speaking of the soul state, Chen Rui inexplicably remembered the soul mingling with Python in the Holy Light Mountain. The taste was ecstasy, but it was carried out under the background of trying to scheme each other. Python had now become his subordinate. Although there was no superfluous reverie, the special feeling in his soul was still unforgettable.

Speaking of the soul state, only Veronica was a truly complete soul entity right now.

For Veronica, he had always felt guilty. In order to completely merge the consciousness of ‘Arthur’, he invested in that role, finally eliminated Quilliana’s will and dealt with the relationship with Lex so that ‘Arthur’ could completely disappear without regret. However, at the same time, Chen Rui also replaced ‘Arthur’ and left an indelible mark on Veronica’s heart.

She definitely wouldn’t like the second person again.

Even if she could be reborn, she wouldn’t leave here.

…

These were Python’s evaluations. Chen Rui had to admit that it was accurate.

“What are you thinking?” The little distraction could not hide from Her Majesty Empress’s eyes. “Other women?”

“You’re too sensitive. How is that possible?” Chen Rui shook his head quickly. Mentioning another woman in front of a woman is a taboo, let alone thinking about other women.

If I admit it now, I will not be a bastard, but a fool and a bastard.

“Hmph!” Catherine rolled her eyes at him. When this guy spoke, the little finger of his left hand moved habitually. This is a sign of a guilty conscience. He must be guilty in his heart just now.

But… let’s forget it. He’s been in the Dark Shadow Empire for so long. It won’t be him anymore if he’s really heartless. There’s no need to expose it at this time.

“Let’s not think about anything else, I’ll have a chat with you…” Chen Rui hugged Catherine with a little guilt and kissed her on the lips. At this moment, he was suddenly alert. When he turned around, he saw a figure behind him, staring at him dumbfoundedly.

Veronica.

How did Veronica come to the Wisdom Palace? Even at this time?

“I’m sorry!” Veronica herself didn’t expect to see the scene of Catherine and Chen Rui ‘making out’. She blushed suddenly, turned around and left.

Before reaching the door, the door of the hall closed automatically. Catherine did it.

“Actually…” Catherine said with a smile, “I used my mind to ‘order’ our Ms. Oracle to come here. I told her there was an emergency. I’m sorry, Veronica, for showing you the horny side of a certain guy.”

Veronica’s face was flushed. She didn’t know what to say, so she said again, “I’m sorry.”

“It should be me who should say sorry.” Catherine shook her head and pointed at Chen Rui again, “and this guy.”

Chen Rui felt wronged. It’s obviously you who planned it, okay? This is to show Veronica her ownership?

“Pretending to be innocent? It’s you who should apologize the most.” Catherine pinched Chen Rui’s waist hard, “Even I can see how Veronica feels about you. Don’t tell me you don’t feel anything. Are you planning to take advantage of people’s feelings for you and let her wait in vain? Or do you really treat people as an oracle to execute your order?”

Chen Rui didn’t expect Catherine to say such a thing. Looking at Veronica, who bowed her head and said nothing, he was already guilty. He immediately apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“Actually… the one to apologize is indeed me.” Catherine sighed, “Because what I just said was actually a cover-up, and the real reason… was in the Ghastly Floating Land. Ms. Sally, a.k.a Python, approached me privately and told me about Veronica.”

“Python?” Chen Rui was surprised.

“Don’t be self-indulgent. Python is not interested in a guy like you.” Catherine rolled her eyes at Chen Rui, “What she thinks is how to increase your power as soon as possible so that you can deal with the terrifying existence Satan 10 years later. The biggest crisis now is no longer Satan in 10 years, but the 3 archangels in 3 years! In just 3 years, you will face 3 enemies that are comparable to Satan!”

Veronica was taken aback. She was a direct descendant of the Cloud Rider Empire and also a member of the mysterious cult with a soul variant physique of Quilliana. Of course she knew the power of the 3 archangels. I didn’t expect Chen Rui to face such a terrifying enemy as the 3 archangels in 3 years!

“Python told me that Veronica’s soul power is very special. If you soul fusion with her, it will be of great benefit to the growth of strength.” Catherine said lightly, “Previously, Satan’s battle contract is 10 years later. Due to woman’s jealousy, I didn’t make it happen right away, but now you’re going to face 3 archangels in 3 years, so I’ve finally made up my mind – Are you satisfied with this explanation?”

Just outrightly exploiting Veronica?

Chen Rui clenched his fists. Suddenly, Catherine’s voice sounded in his mind, “Python also said something else to me, which she also said to you.”

Chen Rui was shocked. He had already guessed what Python said.

In silence, Catherine’s image began to fade.

“In the name of Wisdom Goddess, I order you, Veronica… give your all.”

Catherine’s voice faded away. After a while, the entire image completely disappeared into the air.

In the Wisdom Palace, only Chen Rui and Veronica were left.

Looking at the disappearing Catherine, Veronica showed a perplexed expression. When her eyes were set on Chen Rui, her face turned red again. She wanted to leave, but she couldn’t move.

As the supreme controller, Chen Rui could have easily canceled the Wisdom Palace’s imprisonment or simply disappeared, but he didn’t.

“Since it has reached this level…” Veronica sighed as if she had made up her mind.

“Veronica, actually, Catherine…”

“I understand. There is no hatred in my heart, so I can clearly feel Catherine’s true intention.” Veronica suddenly smiled, “I’m very grateful to her, but I want to know… your intention?”

In fact, this question had always been in Chen Rui’s mind, but he didn’t expect to face it so soon.

Chen Rui was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and looked directly into the sea-like blue eyes, “There is a woman, I don’t have to like her, I don’t have to love her, I can even hurt her, but I can’t stop her from wanting me to be happy. Even if she only sees my happiness from a distance…”

Veronica was shocked, and a teardrop slowly fell from the corner of her eye. This sentence was what Chen Rui said to her in the palace of the Dragon Bright Empire. The difference was that this was how ‘Little Arthur’ felt about her. But now it seemed that this was actually the true portrayal of her after she was reborn.

Even if just watching from a distance.

“It would be a lie to say that you are not in my heart. Not the ‘Little Arthur’ of the past, but the present ‘Chen Rui’. If I don’t know how to cherish such a woman, then I’m a damn asshole.”

Chen Rui shook his head, stepped forward and held her hand, “I’m already an asshole. Such a playboy and shameless guy, are you still willing to keep watching him, accompany him, and walk down together?”

Tears welled up in Veronica’s eyes, but she reached out and stroked his face gently, “Forever?”

“Forever.”

The 2 figures and 2 hearts finally overlapped.

TL: A nice assist from Catherine…
