When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1056 - 403: His Secret (Part 2)
When people are around, even if you don’t see them, it doesn’t feel like much, always thinking there’s plenty of time in the future.
But the moment you realize you might never see them again, you suddenly realize you’ve missed out on what you should have done most.
When living here before, Li Xiu always yearned for the outside world, but if given another chance now, he would rather stay in this small town, spending as much time as possible with his sister.
Even if he couldn’t become a Magic Armor Master or a Trial Taker, it wouldn’t matter.
Being a foolish boy under his sister’s wings seems to be the happiest thing.
"Qiuyi, if only you were still here, how great that would be," Li Xiu suddenly realized, he always thought he was very independent and strong, but maybe that was only because his sister stood behind him, she was his spiritual pillar.
He used to not fear failure, and he didn’t care about having nothing, perhaps because even if he failed miserably, even if he lost everything, there was still someone at home waiting for him, not caring what he had, not caring what he could give, just as long as he came back.
Unconsciously, Li Xiu’s vision became somewhat blurry.
He wasn’t being weak; he just realized he lost the most important thing.
Leaving the old house, Li Xiu walked aimlessly, inadvertently ending up in the area of Space City’s influence, the road Bai Qiuyi once took him on, perhaps it was not without a purpose, just subconsciously unwilling to admit he was reminiscing.
"It’s you." A voice from the roadside interrupted Li Xiu’s thoughts. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Dongli." When Li Xiu saw the girl calling him, he realized he had walked to the noodle shop he used to visit, and the girl named Dongli was cheerfully standing at the restaurant’s entrance.
"You still remember my name?" Just because someone still remembered her name made Dongli’s heart elated.
"Of course, my memory has always been good," Li Xiu said, "I also remember your brother was a Magic Armor Master."
Hearing Li Xiu mention her brother, Dongli’s eyes suddenly turned red, misting with tears.
"What happened? Do you need my help?" Li Xiu realized the girl’s brother might be in trouble.
"My brother... is dead..." Dongli’s voice trembled slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Dead?" Li Xiu smiled bitterly to himself; he thought he could do many things, but suddenly realized he couldn’t do anything at all.
"Yes, my brother died during a demon spirit attack on the city to protect it," Dongli wiped away her tears, stood tall, and said with her head held high, "He died to protect our home, he is our pride."
"Yes, he is indeed your pride. I also want to be someone like him who can make people proud, but I can’t," Li Xiu sighed, if he could fight to protect his sister, even if he died in battle, it would be worth it, at least better than doing nothing now.
"By the way, do you still want to become a Magic Armor Master?" Li Xiu looked at Dongli and asked.
"I dream of it," Dongli replied.
"Aren’t you afraid of ending up like your brother?" Li Xiu asked again.
"Why should I be afraid? If I could be like my brother and father, my life would have meaning; unfortunately, I have no chance," Dongli said, lowering her head.
"I can make you a Magic Armor Master, are you sure you really want it?" Li Xiu asked, looking into Dongli’s eyes.
"Don’t joke like this, it’s not funny at all," Dongli said, biting her lip.
"This is not a joke, I promised to grant you a wish," Li Xiu said, looking at Dongli, "You asked me not to fight with people anymore; that wish is too hard, I can’t do it. But if you want to become a Magic Armor Master, that’s too easy, I can help you fulfill this wish."
"Too easy?" Dongli said unhappily, "Who do you think you are, a god? Is it fun to trick me like this?"
"I can guarantee you, he is not deceiving you," said a voice from the side.
"You guarantee? And who are you..." Dongli turned her head, and after seeing the person’s appearance, she was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief, "City Lord... is it you... why are you here..."
Guan Jinghao said calmly, "Although he is not a god, your wish, in this world, perhaps only he can make it come true."
After hearing this, Dongli turned to look at Li Xiu, her eyes full of joy, "You... you really can make me a Magic Armor Master..."
She never expected that this seeming ruffian of a guy was actually such an impressive figure, someone even the City Lord praised.
Moreover, it seemed the City Lord came specifically to find him.
"Yes, are you sure you want to be a Magic Armor Master?" Li Xiu asked Dongli again.
"I want to be a Magic Armor Master," Dongli said, looking at Li Xiu with a complicated expression.
"Do you know what it means to become a Magic Armor Master?" Li Xiu asked once more.
"I know, maybe I will die like my father and brother, but if I really die like them, it means I protected those I should protect, at least a million times better than being helpless," Dongli said firmly.
Li Xiu looked at Dongli in silence, and then suddenly burst into laughter, the laughter growing stronger and stronger, until he was doubled over with it.
