Chapter 626 I Agree
by 猫狸Chapter 626: I Agree
"Wu Hang, you..."
Su Xuan was still suspicious of Wu Hang's intentions.
"..."
Before Su Xuan could finish, both Wu Hang and Su Xuan suddenly vanished from Su Bai's sight, leaving only a sentence from Wu Hang, as a puzzle piece, beamed straight into his mind—
"Got some stuff to talk over with my brother-in-law. I'll be back soon."
Brother-in-law?
"Cough, cough." Su Bai coughed twice. His pale cheeks, already back to normal, inexplicably turned a light red.
Even though he'd once signed his name on the marriage contract, even though he'd known for ages his fiancé wasn't human, even though he understood that Wu Hang had always been by his side in various identities, Su Bai still felt a certain place in his heart gently touched by that address. It felt like a lonely puzzle piece in his head had finally clicked into place.
Maybe he'd always known where it went, but never actually pushed it in. Or rather, he'd already put it there ages ago, but... just never said it out loud to Wu Hang, just like Wu Hang still had secrets he hadn't spilled.
If he hadn't already figured some stuff out and made up his mind, back when he first entered the Nightmare Building, he'd had plenty of other ways to help Wu Hang regain his strength.
Thinking of this, the young man standing still on the sidewalk, surrounded by passersby, looked in a certain direction, a faint smile spreading across his face.
Su Bai didn't know what Su Xuan could know that he couldn't, but Su Xuan's power was easy to spot in this city he'd built, so Su Bai immediately pinpointed where Su Xuan and Wu Hang had gone.
That direction led to the three-story house they'd grown up in—their home in Honghuai City.
Without hesitating, Su Bai headed straight home.
It took him about twenty minutes to get near the three-story house. By then, Wu Hang and Su Xuan's talk should've wrapped up, and he needed to talk to Su Xuan about the Nightmare Building too.
But just as Su Bai reached for the old iron gate in the yard, a roar exploded from inside the little house—
"I told you to look after my brother, and you got him to sign a marriage contract?!"
"..." Su Bai froze, his eye twitching. He clearly hadn't expected them to have gotten this far.
He sighed, shook his head, and hurried through the yard, already bracing himself as he pushed open the half-closed wooden door.
He now knew Yao's body was a puppet too, and the guy across from him was the Dream Builder at full power.
Knowing Wu Hang, Su Bai was sure he wouldn't touch Su Xuan. That meant... Wu Hang's current "Yao" body had probably been torn apart by his brother.
He wondered if putting this Yao body back together was as easy as the last one.
But when the door swung open, Su Bai was stunned—Wu Hang was still standing there in one piece, with all his limbs and head still attached.
And it was calm, not even a wrinkle on his clothes.
What was really "off" was Su Xuan.
The Dream Builder looked terrible. Especially when he saw Su Bai walk in, Su Xuan seemed to completely deflate, a clear look of helplessness and guilt on his face, his eyes even showing a hint of panic.
"Brother, actually..." Su Bai wanted to explain that his relationship with Wu Hang wasn't really tied to that marriage contract.
But before he could finish half a sentence, Su Xuan rushed forward and pulled him into a tight embrace.
The force wasn't heavy, but it was firm.
Just like when they were kids, whenever Su Bai got hurt or had a nightmare, Su Xuan would hold him like this.
Su Bai could feel that the legendary Dream Builder's fingers were trembling slightly.
"I agree." Su Xuan spoke softly in his ear, his voice low but carrying an emotion he couldn't suppress.
Su Bai knew those words weren't meant for him, but for Wu Hang standing nearby.
But... agree to what?
Had Wu Hang called him brother-in-law?
"Base, expansion, puppets—do it all your way. I have only one request: destroy the Red Moon Association as fast as possible!" When Su Xuan uttered the last three words, his voice was laced with an unmistakable, overflowing murderous intent.
Then Su Bai felt Su Xuan pat his head.
"Just like you said, this time..."
"It's not too late!"
