Chapter 270 - Together And Talking
Chapter 270 - Together And Talking
Zhong Li and Shu Xian were having their break already. With Zhong Li buying for him fried noodles, Shu Xian ate it as she shared her dumplings with him, Shu Xian quickly helping him with his homework.
"We went through the topic in a breeze. What do you wanna talk about?" she asked, Zhong Li then smiling as he remembered Shu Xian's favorite novel.
The Soul Eater's Possession.
"Do you wanna talk about your favorite web novel?"
"Oh!" Shu Xian's eyes lit up, already excited. "The Soul Eater's Possession?"
"Yup!" Zhong Li said, his smile turning into a wide grin. "I think I may have gotten a spoiler when I read the chapters in advance because the author herself, MysticAmy, left clues."
Shu Xian widened her eyes in amazement, not believing what she heard.
"Is that true?"
"Yup," Zhong Li answered again, narrowing his eyes at her. "Are you up for some spoilers?"
"Well…" Shu Xian thought for a while, thinking about the story as well. "The story is already ending soon. So why the heck not?"
And with that, Zhong Li opened his phone and showed her the screenshots he took that the author had left in the comments section as a tease for her readers.

Levin and Ava
They both live in Devin's island away from everyone else, with caretaker Saibara and Ellen. With Ava rubbing her tummy, Ellen lectured her about her cravings so that she can remain healthy for the baby.
As Levin was out doing errands as Love's Overseer, he came back with Heraleen, the Almighty Seraphim checking on her daughter in law.
Levin then tells Ava to take it easy since she had been a big eater ever since she got pregnant. With them not wanting to know the gender on the baby, they decided it to be a surprise—already thinking of a name for the child.
If it were to be a girl, they will name her Avarynn and if it were to be a boy, they will name him Levrynn. With them already excited as Ava will give birth soon, Heraleen blessed their child and had a private talk with Ava, thanking her for being there with her son, Levin.
Both of them got close—relating to their love since Heraleen also fell in love with a demon herself.
She then thought that loving someone that is not of the same race doesn't define what true love—rather, it defines what love actually is and it expands from what the stereotype is.
Ivar and Gwen
Both of them take care of their daughter, Cydrill. With Gwen pregnant one more time, Frey accompanied her all the time since they are now living together ever since she married Arvid.
With her and Martha watching over Gwen as Ivar took care of Devin's company as their source of income, Gwen started to wonder if she could raise another child.
To her, raising Cydrill is already difficult and without her mother or without Frey, she would already be too stressed.
She wondered why before, it was easier to take care of Angeal and Arvid. Why now that she is a mother, taking care of her own children is difficult? Is it always like this?
As she was now preparing to sleep, Ivar already came home from work. With him already taking a shower , Avarynn approached her mother, already grinning ear to ear as she rubbed Gwen's stomach, asking what the gender of the baby is.
Like Levin and Ava, they plan to have it as a surprise, Gwen asking what Avarynn would want to have. Avarynn then thinks and wished to have not a sibling instead—making Gwen laugh out loud.
Arvid and Frey
Frey breaks the news to everyone in the mansion. As she, her husband Arvid, Edwin, Martha, Ivar, and Gwen were eating on the table, Frey cleared her throat and surprised everyone with her announcement.
She is expecting a child and other than this being good news, it made everyone, especially Arvid worry too much about her.
It was known that a human and an angel having a child can be dangerous on the human since the baby would possess powerful magic that is too much for the mother.
With that in thought, Arvid started to worry for Frey, his father catching it on his facial expression as Arvid has never hesitated showing his true emotions.
Arvid didn't finish his dinner. With him already walking out of the dining room as he excused himself, Frey sighed, Edwin stopping her and telling him that he will talk to him instead since he knows what his son could possibly be thinking.
As Frey was left alone with the others, Gwen and Martha approached her, congratulating her and telling her not to worry or stress too much about Arvid or else it would affect the baby.
Frey also knew what Arvid could possibly be thinking—she is scared of the outcome, too, if she were to die or if it would be different since Arvid is half-human, half-angel.
With them unsure of what to happen, all of them could only hope for the best, the husband and wife having to talk about their feelings and decisions about this.

Shu Xian could no longer believe her eyes. With her closing them for a while as she was already surprised with the plot that was shown for the first three couples, she felt her heart racing in her chest, already looking at Zhong Li as she could not help herself but feel ecstatic.
"Goodness… this is more than a spoil!"
"I know, right?" Zhong Li agreed, letting out a chuckle. "And this is for the first three couples. There are more for the others."
"Like Arlo and Dharvey?"
Zhong Li smirked. "Oh… Arlo won't end up with Dharvey."
"What!?"
With her voice almost a shout, Zhong Li put his index finger in front of his mouth, telling her to be quiet or else she might disturb the people outside of the lounge.
"Just read… and you'll get it!"
And with that, Shu Xian did read, her heart still pounding in her chest. For Zhong Li, however, he was obviously happy that he is getting Shu Xian's attention by talking about something that she likes…
And that alone makes him feel overjoyed that both of them are together and talking.
