Chapter 869 - Bedroom
The bedroom was large to beyond belief. In fact, he might be able to call this a house instead. There was this extra big bedroom in the middle of the room, and to be honest, they could fit in twenty people there. That just showed the size of the room.
On the opposite of his position was a giant white door that was different from the rest. He then found five doors on the left side and another five on the other side.
He didn"t know the purpose of the doors, but he decided to learn about the room first.
But to his disappointment, there was nothing other than the bed and doors, confusing him beyond belief.
"Ah! This room was renovated not long ago according to Anya"s suggestion." Lin Xingzhi smiled.
"…" Alex was speechless before glancing at Lin Xingzhi and Anya back and forth, asking for an explanation.
"Why are you pulling me into this?" Anya stepped back as if she didn"t know anything about this.
"Then do you remember how you wish the master bedroom would be?" Lin Xingzhi made an evil smile as if everything was already in the bag.
"Eh?" Anya looked down and tried to remember.
It was a hundred years ago when they started getting tired of searching for Alex"s reincarnation.
At that time, Lin Xingzhi was sleeping in her study room, tired after a long fruitless investigation.
Anya came to her room and accidentally woke her up.
"Anya?"
"Sister Xingzhi… If you were tired, you should sleep in your bed."
"Ah!" She just realized that she slept on the table before letting a long sigh. "I am just a bit too tired recently… I wonder if he really has left us, considering we have been searching for five thousand years, but without even a single clue.
"Even if we find him with another woman, I don"t really mind and stop my investigation. I just want to move on, but the way I can"t find him like this… It"s just so frustrating."
"You must be tired, how about you rest first. Maybe one good sleep will refresh your mind." Anya gently smiled, helping her up.
Lin Xingzhi looked down, fell into deep thought, and agreed with her, starting to walk to her bedroom… But ended up in the master bedroom. It seemed she really missed him and got too frustrated recently.
"That"s right. How is the progress?"
"Mhm? There is no clue as usual; well, the investigation will still continue."
"Still?!" Anya furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing this word as a weird feeling creeping in her heart.
"This can"t do!" Anya screamed, walked toward the bed, and flipped it over, not letting Lin Xingzhi sleep there.
"Anya!" The latter never believed Anya just did this. "What are you doing?"
"I am going to erase everything in this room."
"Stop!" Lin Xingzhi grabbed her hand, stopping Anya from her weird rampage.
"Do you think I give a d.a.m.n right now? Just look at you! You are pathetic right now. I thought you were frustrated, but I found it wasn"t. You have given up!"
"What are you talking about?! I did not!"
Anya didn"t buy it and tried to free her hand from her grasp, but Lin Xingzhi tightened it. Anya released her Divine Energy at this point as an immense pressure started enveloping the room along with the entire castle.
"Don"t you dare?!" Lin Xingzhi gritted her teeth and released her power as well. Without her realizing it, the clash between these two powers had destroyed a portion of the room, cracking everything and blowing a few decorations.
"Hehe… You have destroyed the room." Anya smirked.
Lin Xingzhi immediately noticed it and toned down her power. Anya took this moment of hesitation to grab her wrist and throw her to the door.
At the same time, she released her Divine Power again, decimating every piece of furniture in this room.
"Are you insane?! Do you think that because of your status, I won"t do anything to you?! This room—" Lin Xingzhi grabbed her back and restrained her to the ground.
However, before she finished her words, Anya smirked and said, "This room contains memories about him? That is a strong word coming from someone who has given up.
"You said the investigation would still continue. I know that you subconsciously thought it was not possible to search for him. If it was the usual you, you would still have enough energy and didn"t lose hope even if you were tired.
"That"s why it"s better for this room to disappear if that"s what you are thinking. I would rather get a new room, so even if he is not the same as the one five thousand years ago, I can create a new memory with him.
"One side of me wants him to come back, but if that is only bringing more misery in the process, I would rather have the new him. Because no matter how different he is, I know that I will be charmed by him again and again. After all, even if he has different personalities and characters, his soul is that of light and won"t come to the dark side. His kindness will remain.
"I destroy this place because I want a new place where I could create joyful memories, not a place for me to lament about him.
"I will make a bigger room than this. I don"t care how many wives he will have in the future, so I will make a more splendid room with that fact. In fact, a few more won"t hurt because I can create a bigger room, so we can do every position, place, and many other factors.
"If there were a few more wives, then there will be many different combinations. I will make sure that he is not bored here for tens of thousands of years. If you have given up, then give me that authority. I will search for him without giving up."
Unknowingly, Lin Xingzhi"s tears streamed out of her eyes. Listening to Anya struck her deep. Anna and Anya must have frustration as well, but she had become the first one to give up?
She lowered her body and cried, "I am sorry."
Anya saw this as an opportunity and tackled her up before raising her body and hugging her. "We are in this together as sisters. If you think sometimes it has become too hard, please share with us as well. We might not be able to help, but we can listen to all your problems."
"Yeah. Sorry." Lin Xingzhi didn"t know why, but the tears she shed earlier just cleared her mind. "Let"s seal the room and renovate it when we find Alex."
"Yeah."
Anna appeared not long after because of this and reprimanded both of them.
Anya finally opened her eyes, remembering why this room actually became like this. She sweatdropped and knocked her head while sticking out her tongue.
"Teehee."
Alex and the others didn"t know and kept looking at her for an explanation. Lin Xingzhi took a step forward and explained.
"Let me give you a brief introduction to the room. This is the master bedroom where we can do everything, while the door in the opposite direction is your personal room. At the same time, the other doors lead to our personal rooms, so the limit is ten.
"Well, Anya said she doesn"t mind to see you having many wives, so I tried to incorporate that by watching all the encounters you had so far. In other words, the ten doors actually came from me, Anna, Anya, Alicia, Firia, Sherry, Rose, Letizia, Putri, and Song Yu. Unfortunately, the last two people were out, while Rose and Letizia are still on hold.
"Of course, each door has their own Spatial Gates, so you don"t need to worry about the size. As for why the size of this room alone… It"s because Anya wanted you to try everything. You could make illusion arrays here, making us roleplay or having another place to try. Well, we can talk about the details later since the others are still here.
"Yeah. That"s the gist of it. For now, the six rooms are for those who are here, while the other four are empty."
Alex twitched his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, staring at Anya.
"Ugh." Anya looked so small at this point as she just wanted to dig a hole and bury herself there.
"Ten, huh…"
"Of course, you have the control of everything. If you want to have more, we will see whether we can accept them or not. However, if you don"t want, we can treat the empty room and fill it with a simulation room for so many reasons or the baby room in the future." Lin Xingzhi a.s.sured her. "Family is built by two sides, so yeah, either we prove you choose or you provide we choose. The situation is either of these two, and I am sure we can reach a conclusion.
"As for the details, it"s too complicated to explain it here since if you love someone and want to be with her, we might reject her at the start, but there might be a chance as well. Anyway, it"s too complicated."
Alex sighed. "I am fine with all of you here already."
"Haha… I am just saying it first. By the way, suppose there were a thousand techniques, places, positions, and other things, just how many possibilities do you think it has? Anya has discovered it before me, so I need to step down right now." Lin Xingzhi grinned and glanced at Anya.
"No! You are killing me." Anya ducked her head down with her heads clasped behind it as if she didn"t want to hear or see anything.
"It"s over Anya…" Anna bowed her head and gently smiled as if she wanted to help Anya.
"Anna…" Anya saw the ray of hope, but Anna struck her down again, teasing her. "You will always be the helpless pervert of the family."
"Nooooo!" Anya leaped toward Alex and hugged him from behind. "Ugh, I can"t be a bride anymore. But since I have become your wife in a sense, I don"t need to think about it, right?"
"Anya…" Alex paused for a moment. "I have accepted everything about you. At the very least, I know about this soon, else I might get shocked by your sudden transformation… It"s fine. You are my wife. I will accept all your love."
"Noooo!" Anya fell into despair as her image, which practically nothing worth protecting, had vanished. In fact, the first time she appeared, her pure image had already been shattered by herself.
Although it might be due to her longing for affection, the past couldn"t be erased just like that.
Everyone laughed. Of course, they were joking… Probably.
Lin Xingzhi then continued to the last and the most important thing. She pointed her finger to the empty frame on top of the wall above Alex"s room"s door.
"There is a frame there, and I wish to hang our family picture there. What do you think?"
"That is a lovely idea." Alex smiled and nodded.
"Milady, I have gotten a very high resolution camera from the most advanced country. I should be able to take a good picture with this." Korzan took out a camera from his s.p.a.ce Ring, doing his job as a simple butler instead of a leader.
"Then we can arrange it in a few days."
"How about we do it now?" Alex asked, raising the doubt in everyone"s heart. "I mean, I just want a picture where everyone is having fun instead of a formal family picture. That"s right. I have seen a garden near the gate, I think it"s a lovely garden. How about we sit down and relax there?"
They looked at each other before nodding their heads.
…
The next day.
Alex had finally finished moving in before leaving through the master bedroom where he glanced at the picture hanging on top of the wall.
It was the picture of him, Alicia, Firia drinking on a cool table, Sherry playing with a b.u.t.terfly, Anna and Anya flying around with their wings, and Lin Xingzhi bringing some food for them like a picnic. Nonetheless, everyone was having fun in the garden in the castle.
He couldn"t help but smile and look at it for another few minutes before leaving the room.
