Chapter 2124: Chapter 2126: Xiao Qi’s Previous Life

The Hot Spring Villa is located in the suburbs and features a true hot spring. Cheng Su bought the entire area early on, built the villa, and redirected the spring, rendering it exceptionally comfortable for private retreats.

Hence, this area also contains some hills, offering peaceful and scenic views.

Qi Fang drove leisurely, with a light piano tune playing in the car. He held the steering wheel with one hand and propped another against the window, contemplating Cheng Su’s words, prompting a slight smile at the corner of his lips.

This world is vastly different from the one he originated from, especially regarding matters between men and women; it is much more liberated, though arranged marriages by parents do exist, freedom of choice prevails more often, particularly in the past decade. Not only can heterosexual relationships be self-decided, but even love between the same sex doesn’t evoke much disdain.

Having grown up witnessing the developments of this country, he is astounded by its advanced technology, particularly its weapons, which are certainly promising. While some nations possess even more formidable weapons, nonetheless, he finds it impressive.

If his original world had weapons of this caliber, unifying the world would have been an effortless endeavor, wouldn’t it?

Pity that there are no ifs.

Yet, that world has long been left behind, with no return possibility, nor does he wish to return, seeing no necessity in doing so.

Such a nation, such a regime—what would returning bring?

Qi Fang’s smile slightly waned, suddenly recalling the year he departed.

He was the Crown Prince of a nation, though it had decayed under his indulgent, foolish father’s rule, he had confidence that had his father trusted him, he would have governed the nation well.

He was supremely filial and loyal, never harbored any rebellious thoughts, and was amicable towards his brothers, though cautious, never bore ill intent, earning the reputation of benevolence. Yet, unexpectedly, this benevolence made his father wary.

No emperor desires the Crown Prince’s reputation to surpass his own in prominence and regard.

Thus, his path to survival vanished.

The most absurd part was that his path to survival was severed by the younger brother he cherished the most, with just one cup of chrysanthemum water leading him to the netherworld.

What did that child say?

He said, in that cannibalistic place, no brotherly or paternal affection existed, only a contest of ruthlessness, and Qi Fang was simply too merciful.

Indeed, like his former life, he is called Qi Fang; the country he inhabited was Qi Country, yet, he combed through this world’s history thoroughly, never finding any trace of such a country existing.

At the moment he closed his eyes, he surprisingly felt that dying like this was indeed rather liberating, allowing him to shed all chains.

The longer he stays in this world, the more tranquil his heart becomes, with memories of that country gradually fading.

Without him, what would his Qi Country become? Would it fare better or decline?

He does not know, nor is he concerned with knowing because death has severed ties with him.

Indeed, he is just this cold-hearted; having been sentenced to death, why should he care?

Qi Fang sneered coldly, exerting pressure on the gas pedal, sending the car roaring forward.

Suddenly, a black figure rolled down from the mountainside, landing in front of his car, startling him into sharply turning the steering wheel towards the right, executing a beautiful tail swing.

The car braked to a halt, and Qi Fang exhaled before glancing leftward, where the shadow lay on the ground, motionless, fate unknown.

Qi Fang opened the car door and stepped out, pausing slightly before hastening towards the shadow.

He flipped over the black figure—no, this person clad in black attire—revealing neat short hair and delicate features; it was a woman.
