Chapter 2556: Chapter 2556: The One in My Heart

Long Wu didn’t know what situation she had encountered.

She just felt a chill and then passed out.

Now it’s...

An illusion!

Long Wu, as one of the leaders of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, certainly had exceptional qualities.

Her knowledge and experiences far surpassed others.

From the moment she stepped into this realm, she knew she had entered an illusion.

Illusions are often traps.

But this illusion was given by Julius Reed.

If Julius Reed wanted to kill her, he wouldn’t need to go through such trouble.

Then why did Julius Reed give her this illusion, what was he trying to do?

Just as she was pondering, a person suddenly walked towards her.

"Julius Reed?"

Long Wu couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw the person, "You came in too?"

"That’s right." Julius Reed slowly walked over, reached out his hand, gently lifted her chin, his lips cold and indifferent, "I knew it, you still like me."

"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" Long Wu was a bit uncomfortable, she pushed Julius Reed’s hand away, turned her head, avoiding his eyes, "If I say I like you, would you believe it? Don’t be narcissistic, you’re just a delusional guy!"

"Is that so?"

Julius Reed didn’t leave; instead, he pressed forward, once again standing before Long Wu.

"What... are you doing!"

Long Wu was somewhat flustered, having once proclaimed herself as an empress, now she was at a loss, like a little girl.

"What am I doing? Haha. You don’t know?" Julius Reed wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling Long Wu into his embrace, "Submit to me."

"No!"

Long Wu pushed Julius Reed away again, panting, "What are you doing! Don’t touch me recklessly! Julius Reed, if you want to kill me, just do it, don’t humiliate me!"

"Woman, you’ve successfully angered me." Julius Reed stepped up to her, directly cornering Long Wu against the wall.

"Clearly you like me, but don’t dare to admit it?"

"Have some shame!" Long Wu’s face flushed red, her heartbeat quickening.

"Look at me." Julius Reed extended his hand, lifting her chin, their eyes meeting.

"What... do you want to do!" Long Wu was very flustered; she felt herself changing.

Indeed, she liked Julius Reed.

But why did this bastard become... the person she had once fantasized about!

Admittedly, once he turned rogue, his damned charm was truly irresistible.

"From now on, you are my woman."

Julius Reed grabbed Long Wu, throwing her onto the bed behind.

Then he slowly removed his upper clothing.

"You..." Long Wu closed her eyes, gripping the bedsheets hard.

...

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Long Wu opened her eyes, satisfied.

She was surprised to find herself really lying in bed!

Could it be...

It wasn’t an illusion?

But this environment was completely different from the illusionary one.

"Awake?"

Julius Reed sat at the bedside, looking at her with a strange expression, "Why were you making sounds? Encountered something?"

"You..." Long Wu’s face turned red instantly.

Was it not Julius Reed in the illusion?

Or did Julius Reed take advantage, teasing her on purpose?

"What did you do to me?" Long Wu asked in a low voice, covering herself with the blanket.

Usually, with an empress demeanor, now Long Wu suddenly seemed like a little woman; obviously, Julius Reed couldn’t handle it.

"I’m telling you, calm down. That was an opportunity; everyone who enters it can have a fortuitous chance."

Julius Reed, without any intention to deceive Long Wu, acknowledged that both were enemies, but the world was filled with love-hate relationships.

As long as there was no unresolvable hatred, there was no need to fight to the death.

"Nelson entered here and acquired unparalleled swordsmanship. I now think perhaps it was her single-minded desire for revenge that brought her such formidable sword skills."

Julius Reed patiently explained, "And as for me, upon entering, I saw someone I deeply missed, whereas a friend of mine found his idol, opened his heart knots, and began to rejuvenate."

"It’s an opportunity, considered as repayment for the ability you gave me to hear heart voices."

Julius Reed stood up, smiling faintly, "From now on, we owe each other nothing."

"Wait!"

Long Wu hesitated for a moment, her gaze somewhat evasive as she questioned, "Will we truly find what we most desire in there?"

Damn it!

It was actually obtained.

But thinking it through, indeed there was such a scene in the dream.

Only, in the end, it never became a reality.

But now, she actually gained an absolutely real experience!

Whether in feeling or spirit, it was exactly like the truth!

Does it mean that what she always longed and liked most was Julius Reed?

But how could it be!

Clearly, it was just a relationship formed in a complex environment.

Could it be that there was emotion?

Terrifying!

Long Wu felt she irrationally fell for him.

She even somewhat liked this bastard?

"And as for the stopwatch, you should really study this thing."

Julius Reed pointed at the watch hanging around Long Wu’s neck, "This thing is very mysterious, I think unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to use it."

"You don’t need it now?" Long Wu spoke ambiguously.

"Indeed, I no longer need this thing." Julius Reed stated confidently, "The only one who can kill me is myself. So, take it back for self-preservation. But remember, this thing is very mysterious."

Every time the stopwatch was used, a black line would appear on the arm.

It was then that Justicar Nine Nether entered.

"Brother, there’s someone outside wanting to see you."

He nodded towards Long Wu, "Pleasure to meet you."

"Hold on." Julius Reed inexplicably felt uncomfortable seeing Justicar Nine Nether.

Mentor Justice, naturally intimidating!

"Hey!"

But at that moment, Justicar Nine Nether suddenly walked up to Long Wu, reaching out and grabbing the watch on her neck.

"What are you doing!"

Long Wu cautiously grabbed Justicar Nine Nether’s hand, almost making a move.

"This... watch, where did it come from!"

Justicar Nine Nether was very wary.

"You recognize it?" This time, Julius Reed and Long Wu asked in unison.

"This is a treasure created by Emperor Azure River years ago, though it was thought to be lost. May I take a look?"

After speaking, Justicar Nine Nether turned to glance at Julius Reed.

He knew that Long Wu was Julius Reed’s woman, and as soon as Julius Reed nodded, it was allowed.

"Give it to him."

Julius Reed spoke calmly.

Emperor Azure River...

How could the watch created by Emperor Azure River have appeared?

"Can he be trusted?" Long Wu was very cautious, "If he uses this, it could greatly harm us both."

"Don’t worry, he doesn’t have that capability." Julius Reed didn’t care about Justicar Nine Nether’s feelings, but added, "Besides, he is my good brother."

"Indeed, I am Mentor Justice." Justicar Nine Nether nodded, "Known as Nine Nether Mentor."
