Chapter 474: The Nineteenth Cycle Ends, Unexpected Situation in the New Cycle
"Loki, if that brat Broly ever bullies you or treats you badly again, come back and tell me. Even if Daddy isn't a match for that silver-haired guy, I'm willing to risk my life for my lovely daughter and teach that brat a lesson!"
It is well known that the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is usually not very friendly, and Lloyd Migrudia was no exception. On the eve of parting with his daughter, this father, who looked like a young man but was already over a hundred years old, said these words to his daughter in front of Broly.
However, the way he cautiously surveyed his surroundings made everyone realize that he was actually somewhat lacking in confidence when he said those words.
However, this is normal, after all, not everyone dares to speak recklessly in front of Orstide.
"Dad, you're exaggerating a bit. I believe Broly will always be good to me."
Luo Qixi was somewhat amused and exasperated, and replied to her father.
"Yes, Father-in-law, I promise I will treat Luo Qixi well."
Broly nodded seriously beside him, echoing his sentiment.
"Darling, don't doubt Broly so much. Haven't we seen it all these days? This child cherishes and takes good care of our Lokishi."
Luo Jiali chimed in, causing Luo Yin to blush slightly: "Luo Jiali, you're my wife, how can you side with this brat?"
"I'm just stating the facts. Don't you want our daughter to be happy?"
Faced with his wife's loud questioning, the old father, who looked like a teenager, lowered his voice.
"I'm just worried that this kid might change his mind later."
Dad, I think you probably don't need to worry about this...
Luo Qixi looked at her father and thought to herself.
As for why, it's because Luo Qixi already knows that she is not the boy's only wife.
In other worlds, her little husband has many other wives.
[Rather than worrying about him changing his mind, I'm more worried about him being unfaithful, but given the special circumstances of Crystal Palace, this seems to be something that was destined to happen...]
When Luo Qixi learned that the boy had other wives in other worlds, she was somewhat jealous. However, perhaps because the demon race did not have a tradition of monogamy, or perhaps because she already liked the boy too much, she accepted the situation after throwing a tantrum and pinching the boy's waist a few times.
She does not regret marrying the boy.
Of course, she knew that her father was worried about her, so Luo Qixi stepped forward and hugged her father and mother.
"Mom and Dad, please take care of yourselves. I believe that soon I will see you again without sadness, and at that time, I will no longer cause you so much worry about me or my safety when I am away from home."
There's no going back in this world, that's what Luo Qixi originally thought. But now that she knows time can be reversed, the girl has a hope of changing some of the regrets of the past.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Luo Qixi's life after her marriage didn't change much. The only difference was in her intimate contact with the boy.
Every night, Loki and Broly would take a bath together and sleep in each other's arms in one bed. Besides that, they did a lot more to learn about their young husband's past life experiences and to learn about other members of the Crystal Palace from him.
To be honest, when I hear my husband praising all the other Crystal Palace members, I feel a little bit like I'm being cuckolded.
But when she learned that her happiness score was among the highest even among the many wives her boyfriend had, Luo Qixi felt a little proud that she could surpass the many outstanding women her boyfriend had mentioned.
Sometimes, Loki would mischievously ask the boy who he liked more, and then watch the boy struggle with the question.
Finally, kiss him on the lips and tell him it doesn't matter who he likes more, as long as he likes you the most in this world, something like that.
And each time, she manages to move Broly, even though afterwards the boy always manages to make a complete mess of things.
"Broly, we're going to rewind time tomorrow. Can I watch how time rewinds with you?"
The demon girl, her face flushed, looked at the boy resting his head on her arm and asked for his opinion.
"Of course that's fine, but remember to keep your distance when you're there."
Why?
"Because when time rewinds, it can be a little dangerous for people who are too close. Even though you can be resurrected if you die in this loop after time rewinds, I still don't want you, Loki, to have a bad experience of being injured or even dying."
"Broly..."
"What's wrong?"
"Can't you stop your hands for a second when you say things like that?"
"Hey, don't you like me touching you?"
"It's not that I don't like it, but if things continue like this, I might not be able to hold back anymore."
"All right."
Broly stopped what he was doing and simply put his arm around her.
Loki's body was soft and had a milky scent, probably from the milk bath she had taken the night before. It smelled wonderful, and Broly used her as a pillow to hug and sleep.
In the morning, Alsterd knocked on the door. After Broly finished washing up, he took Lokishi on a flying dragon and headed to Dragon Roar Mountain with him.
Lokishi had expected to see a complex time-reversal magic circle here, but unexpectedly, after arriving at the dragon ruins in Dragon Roar Mountain, Orstide pulled out a long sword, looking like he intended to do something indecent to them.
In response, Loki instinctively pulled Broly behind her. The Crystal Love accessory set on her body shimmered with light, clearly indicating that the girl had activated her magic and was ready to fight Alsterd at any moment.
Orstide looked speechlessly at the demon girl who was protecting the boy behind her and looked wary of him, and could only look at the Saiyan boy behind her.
The meaning in his eyes was clear: you need to explain the situation to your wife yourself.
"Luo Qixi, what are you doing?"
"I'm protecting you."
You may have misunderstood something.
"What did I misunderstand?"
"You may be misunderstanding the way the time is restarted."
"What do you mean?"
After some explanation, Loki learned that time reversal could only be triggered by the death of Orstide.
"So, when he drew his sword, was he actually preparing to commit suicide?"
Loki's eyes widened. Although she didn't trust Alster because of the curse, she was still shocked by what Alster was about to do.
"No, he didn't want to kill himself; to be precise, he was preparing to fight me."
"Huh?"
The demon girl looked over in confusion, while Broly took out the King Dragon Sword, which had been gathering dust for a long time, from the Crystal Palace.
"It's been a long time since I've fought someone with such high combat skills. Since he's going to die anyway, I asked Orstide to end this cycle by fighting me."
"ah?!"
Loki opened her mouth wide, looked at the terrifying aura of Orstide over there, and then looked at her little husband beside her, who was holding a greatsword that was extremely disproportionate to his own size. At this moment, her mind went blank.
"Luo Qixi, step back a bit. The aftershocks of our fight might spread quite far."
That's what Broly said, and Loki didn't understand at first.
But once Broly and Alster began their fight, she understood why her boy had said that.
"Clang clang clang~"
A dazzling array of sword energies danced in the air, carving furrows into the ground.
"Boom boom boom~"
Various kinds of magic were bombarding the area.
Only now did Luo Qixi have a clear understanding of her young husband.
The idea that a boy needs someone to protect him is completely fabricated.
The truth is, her young husband was incredibly strong.
Even though Loki didn't know much about swordsmanship, she could tell with her own eyes that the terrifying-looking and aura-filled Orstide was the one who was being beaten into a disadvantageous position by her young husband in the battle.
Besides his terrifying swordsmanship, the boy also casually unleashed various mid-to-high-level water magic, such as water waves, water blades, and water cannons. These magics clashed with those of Alsterd, who could also unleash magic quickly, resulting in either explosions or mutual cancellation.
"Have you mastered any new combat techniques?"
While fending off the attacks, Alster asked the question with some difficulty.
"I just read a lot of magic books, and I naturally learned these moves."
Broly replied, casually unleashing another water blade.
After Alsterd dodged it, the water blade continued its momentum, slicing through the small mountain behind it.
The small hill fell to the ground, and the ground beneath our feet rumbled as if an earthquake had struck.
Luo Qixi, who witnessed this scene from afar, was so shocked that her scalp tingled.
This is a battle against what she perceives as a battle, not something from the same dimension.
It's absurd that even a casual strike from either side can alter the surrounding environment.
"Familiar summoned, come forth, my servant~"
A group of tamed dragons were summoned by Alsterd to fight alongside him.
"This isn't fair!"
Seeing this, just as Loki was about to shout out those words, she saw the water left by the water magic on the ground gather into a huge water ball.
Then, a huge water elemental that looked very familiar to her rose from the ground.
They engaged in a fierce battle with the dragon summoned by Orstide.
Luo Qixi: "..."
The case is solved. The Lord of the Labyrinth wasn't taken down by her and Rene at all; the boy had helped them behind the scenes.
The demon girl was both embarrassed and angry. She had even mentioned this to Broly back then, and Broly must have been secretly laughing to himself at the time.
However, besides feeling embarrassed and annoyed, Luo Qixi also felt a sweet sensation from being taken care of so meticulously by the boy.
Of course, regarding the fact that the boy didn't tell her about his true strength...
Luo Qixi decided to settle accounts with the other party properly after the time rewind.
No matter what, she had to pinch the boy's cheeks many times before she could vent her anger.
The battle came to an end, with neither Alsterd nor Broly holding back, engaging in a life-or-death struggle on equal footing.
In the end, Alster was outmatched and Broly pierced his heart with a single sword strike.
"Orsterd, your combat skills seem to have deteriorated somewhat. I haven't wielded my sword much this playthrough, yet you've lost even faster than in previous playthroughs."
"Nonsense, I didn't expect you to end this loop by fighting me. I haven't really honed my combat skills much before this."
Although he had the fighting spirit, his body was too rusty to keep up with it, so it was normal for him to become weak. Orstide looked at the boy with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Uh, it was my mistake to decide to end this loop with a battle on a whim, but don't forget to hone your combat skills next loop."
"I understand. See you in seventy-seven years."
Facing death once again, Alsterd did not despair.
Knowing that the gods and humans were doomed, he didn't care about his own death before reaching the point where the gods and humans would perish.
However, Alsterd decided that before encountering Broly in the next playthrough, he would definitely hone his combat skills and not let Broly look down on his combat level.
"Luo Qixi, see you next time."
Broly turned around and called out to his petite wife who was running towards him.
"If time could be reversed, would I really still be able to remember you?"
Although she had been answered many times, Luo Qixi was still a little worried.
"Of course, you're my wife, you'll definitely remember me."
Broly's answer was firm: he had asked Crystal Palace.
"If I don't remember you, promise me you'll try to win me over again and make me your wife once more."
Luo Qixi approached the boy and, after catching her breath, said this.
With his last breath, Orstide breathed his last, and only released his breath after the boy made a promise to the demon girl.
Time began to rewind again, the surrounding environment changed, Loki, who had been embracing him, disappeared, and Broly arrived on the Green Grassland in the twentieth playthrough.
"Broly, it's been a long time."
This time, Alsterd was already waiting at his new location, and greeted him upon seeing him.
"Where is Luo Qixi?"
Broly looked around but found no trace of the demon girl, so he asked the dragon god in front of him.
"I don't know. I've been focusing on honing my skills this time around and haven't been paying much attention to what's going on outside."
Orstide shook his head at this.
Fortunately, Broly was very familiar with Loki's aura and quickly found his demon wife for this loop.
However, upon finding Loki, Broly discovered that she was still a first-year student at La Noah Magic University, which gave him a bad feeling.
And this premonition came true after he stopped Luo Qixi.
"Who are you, little one? Are you lost?"
The demon girl, who was holding a book, knelt down and softly inquired about his situation.
He looked as if he had no memory of the previous game.
