Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Ah, it’s the middle of the night, why aren’t you sleeping? Why have you come to look for me?” Jiang Qianxue had been seated, waiting for five minutes or so before Hong Dali walked out from the rooms drooling and rubbing his eyes. He only managed to find his way because someone led him there. When he sat down, he was still unsteadily swaying. It was obvious he was still not quite awake. “What is it? Did something serious happen?”

Jiang Qianxue looked at Hong Dali and mentally compared him to the image of the super genius she had in her mind. She concluded that they were as different as Heaven and Earth. The difference was at least ten thousand light-years.

With that thought, she finally felt less nervous.

“I… I am here to talk to you…” Jiang Qianxue looked around and saw no one. She then gathered her courage and said, “Because I… there’s someone I like… I want… I want to ask for your advice.”

“You have someone you like?” Hong Dali started dozing off as he replied. “Then you should go on a date with the person you like, do something romantic like playing games together or shopping. Go on an impromptu trip, go kill the Zerg together or something—why are you here looking for me?”

He was really innocent. In his mind, if two people liked each other, what they needed to do was play games together and go shopping…

“I… I don’t know who he is.” Jiang Qianxue’s delicate porcelain face flushed red. She said nervously, “I only know that I idolize him. I don’t even know if it is a man or a woman, young or old… I don’t know anything…”

“Do you have a fever?” Hong Dali reached out curiously and felt her forehead. “It doesn’t feel feverish…”

Jiang Qianxue had never been touched by a man before. However, at that moment, she did not really care. She waited for Hong Dali’s reply, her face anxious.

“You are probably not sick.” Hong Dali quickly concluded. He picked up a drink and self-indulgently started drinking. “Since you like him, then you should woo him. Oh, but you don’t even know who he is, why and how do you like him? You don’t know what type of person he is and you like him already? You should at least know if he is tall or short, fat or thin.”

“I… don’t know any of that…” Jiang Qianxue did not dare look at Hong Dali in the eyes. She said, “It’s… it’s the super genius who passed level thirty of the Tower of Trials…”

“Cough, cough, cough!” When he heard what Jiang Qianxue said, Hong Dali almost choked!

Hong Dali had planned to tell her about having passed level thirty of the Tower of Trials. They were friends, after all—but now, he really did not dare to tell her anymore. He had family and dependents with him… Jiang Qianxue was such a privileged person, she could have liked anyone. Why did she have to like a genius who passed thirty levels of the Tower of Trials? He had only gone into the tower for fun! He did not go there for her, what was this!

“Ah, that.” Hong Dali hurried to cover up. “That genius, you do not even know if it is a man or a woman and you like him/her already? Shouldn’t you at least find out who it is first?”

He had decided, he would never let this secret be exposed!

Otherwise, if Tang Muxin found out and fought with her, resulting in Jiang Qianxue getting angry and blowing the Earth up—f**k, all his hairs were standing up, that’s a terrifying thought!

Even if Tang Muxin agreed, Jian Qianxue was a Galaxy Aristocrat. Could she tolerate her husband having concubines as well as a fiancée? That was impossible. What if she made him divorce Tang Muxin—no, no, no way!

Hong Dali may be heartless, but he was steadfast in love. Otherwise, with his qualities, he could have had truckloads of women back on Earth!

“I… I don’t know.” Jiang Qianxue was embarrassed and frustrated. She cried, “So what? Do I need a reason to like someone?”

“Don’t you?”

“Do I?”

“Alright.” Hong Dali touched his nose, troubled. “Let’s change the topic. Erm… if you really meet him, what do you plan to do? What if he is nothing like you imagined?”

“Well… I’ll have to accept it.” Jiang Qianxue thought about it carefully, then made her decision. “As long as the difference is not too big, I will like him anyway! My true love, he must be a hero, bright and resplendent. Even the sun would not be able to obscure his glow!”

All right, your one true love was actually a prodigal, a super one at that—honestly speaking, he wondered what her expression would be like if she knew the truth.

Would she kill him?

It was very likely!

“I think you should try it out first.” Hong Dali said seriously like he was old and experienced. “You must not be impulsive in love. You should at least find out who he is, what he looks like, how old he is, what race he is, what his temperament is like—what if he is from a giant race? He might be more than ten meters tall, and you will look just like a little child standing next to him. If that is the case, it’s no use liking him, right?”

“I… I don’t know, either. Hopefully, I won’t be so unlucky.” Jiang Qianxue was so stressed she was close to tears. “I have just started liking him. Is this the end?”

“Well, actually,” Hong Dali stroked his chin. “I have a good idea.”

“What good idea?” When she heard what Hong Dali said, Jiang Qianxue immediately got impatient again. “Tell me quickly. What good idea?”

“I feel you should test it out on some random person.” Hong Dali stroked his chin. “Actually, I feel that love is strange. Being impulsive is bad. You should find a love expert and test out how love feels. Then, you should experience it fully and try to shift your focus before deciding if you want to continue—the love expert should be someone who is inferior in all aspects, that should be closer to the mysterious person’s persona. Look, he does not even dare to reveal his name, he must have all sorts of flaws. Anyway, something must be wrong with him!”

“Test it out on some random person?” Jiang Qianxue thought about it. Men and women obviously thought about problems differently. Hong Dali was thinking that Jiang Qianxue should find someone really flawed to have an experimental relationship with. Then, when she realized that being in a relationship was not all that fun, perhaps she would not be so persistent. However, what Jiang Qianxue thought was, if she was going to be in a relationship, then she had to do it seriously. She would treat the person as her true love…

And that was why Hong Dali was going to be completely depressed.

Jiang Qianxue thought for a long while. Then, she suddenly looked at Hong Dali and said, “That is not a bad plan. Since it’s like that, then… how about you be my experimental partner?”

Eh? Eh?! Eh?!!!

You want me to be your experimental partner?! God, need you to play such a joke on me?!

Hong Dali panicked. “Miss Qianxue, I have a fiancée! You could have looked for anyone else, why me?! Are you trying to get me killed by Xinxin?! Fiancée! I am already engaged to her, do you understand?! Can’t you find someone else to help you?!”

“I don’t want to either!” Qianxue said helplessly, “But you are the only person I can talk to! I’m a Galaxy Aristocrat, ordinary people would be too scared to do anything like that with me. If I ask another Galaxy Aristocrat, what if they think I really want to marry them?! If that happens, I will never be able to explain myself! You are my last resort…”

God! What kind of reason was this!

“Can you not be so ridiculous?!” Hong Dali was practically pulling his hair out. “I am a prodigal, not a love expert! I don’t even know what to do in a relationship!”

“That’s just nice.” Jiang Qianxue’s eyes got brighter as she spoke. “You are an energy user and a relatively strong one, but the super genius is naturally stronger than you! You don’t really have any other abilities or aspects that you can boast about, and you are a super prodigal. No matter how bad the super genius is, he should still be better than you, right? So… so… you are the best experimental partner! You are an Honorary Aristocrat and is also related to Elder Mo Tianji. Even if my father finds out, he would not say much. There is no better choice than you!”

God…

How would he explain this?

I went out for a drink and brought a wife back, and she’s even a Galaxy Aristocrat…

“Spare me!” Hong Dali panicked. “I will be cut into pieces ahhhhhhh!”

“I don’t care. From now onwards, you are my experimental boyfriend. I will be following you around for this period of time. But don’t worry,” Jiang Qianxue nodded vehemently. “when I find the super genius our relationship will end. When that time comes, you will still be my friend, okay?”

He hoped she would never find the super genius. If she did, there would be no escape for him ahhhhhh!

“Okay…” This time Hong Dali understood what it meant to drop a stone on his own foot. “I’m going back to sleep. You should go home first, I’m sleepy…”

“This…” Jiang Qianxue fiddled nervously with the corner of her clothing. “Since we are experimental lovers, I should sleep with you tonight, right? Oh, don’t worry. I will control myself and not force myself on you…”

Damn! Hong Dali almost died of shock. He would have to go back and tell everyone he went out for a drink and brought a wife back, and she was even a Galaxy Aristocrat…

“I’m going to die!” Hong Dali felt pain in his chest. If this continued, even if his health was at one hundred points, he would be shocked to death.

In the end, he still had no choice but to agree. “Okay… okay…”

Soon, inside Private Room 10000.

Hong Dali brought Jiang Qianxue with him and said to everyone, expressionless, “I went out for a drink and brought a wife back, and she’s even a Galaxy Aristocrat… I don’t need to introduce her, right? Jiang Qianxue has an agreement to be experimental lovers with me. It’s fake.”
