Shuji wakes up disgusted by his dream.
"Why are those two in my dream?" Shuji said annoyed and shook his head afterward.
With his fist, he punched his chest softly, because he knew in himself that it was wrong to be jealous of two people who were talking in his dream.
Shuji took a stick of his cigarette and went to the veranda to light it. Shuji looked outside and could see the sea and the entire resort.
"When at the resort or the beach, tourists and visiting guests like my work colleagues can't see their mansion even when they look up," Shuji said when he remembered something when he was at the resort and the sea.
Shuji smokes a cigarette and thinks about the dream. Shuji wonders why he is dreaming of Lixue from her kissing him on the lips. Shuji threw the expired cigarette in the trash before returning to his bed to sleep again.
A few hours later, Shuji woke up again washed his face in the bathroom, and changed his clothes at the same time.
"Good afternoon?" Lixue greet Shuji when she saw him in the living room.
Shuji nodded and he just yawned afterward, still feeling drowsy.
"This is...coffee, you're still sleepy," Lixue said as she handed him the coffee he was drinking.
"Direct kiss? Are you trying to make me fall for you?" Shuji said to Lixue.
"There's nothing wrong with falling, even if I don't want to grab something that isn't mine, Shuji, if you don't want to drink it, don't," Lixue replied to Shuji and drained the contents of the cup.
"You know, since you kissed me and healed my wound I can't be bothered anymore," Shuji said to Lixue.
"I just healed you directly from your wound with my powers that you swallowed and flowed into your wound," Lixue replied to Shuji.
"Is that what you're doing to the one you're treating?" Shuji asked as he sat up.
"No, Shuji," Lixue said to Shuji.
"What does chosen to mean to you? My understanding is that I was chosen to be with someone forever, what if I can't accept that because I have a girlfriend and I love her." Shuji said after looking at Lixue.
"A child, the one who will not be born in the world who will save humanity, if that does not happen many people will die and many people will become disciples of evil," Lixue replied seriously to Shuji causing him to remain silent.
"Evil-deluge will cover our world and people like me will be disciples of evil, your enemy is the devil?" Shuji answered many things were going through his mind without understanding.
"The one who will take over our world is even higher than the devil, Shuji if by chance the birth of the child who will save the world does not happen," Lixue answered seriously.
"Why are you admitting everything to me? Neither you nor your daddy are ordinary people, what do I have to do with this?" Shuji replied to Lixue.
"Because he chose you, Shuji, the seed that will make a baby and save the world will come from you, but if you don't accept what you know, there's nothing I can do," Lixue answered as she immediately stood up when Shuji stopped her.
"I love her and I don't know yet who will bring the child that will save the world," Shuji replied to Lixue.
"I told you, Shuji, we won't force the prophecy on you if you love your girlfriend and if everything changes willingly, the girl destined for you can carry and give birth," Lixue answered and left feeling a pain in her heart every time Shuji said that he loved Erika.
Lixue knew for herself that she was the second option in Shuji's life they were not meant to be, but they loved each other. Shuji looked at Lixue walking away and saw the male bodyguard following her.
"Who will bring the child to be born into the world if the sperm comes from me," Shuji answered to himself as he went to the kitchen and brewed his coffee.
Shuji did not go with Lixue who was going to Palawan City. Shuji was left behind and looked around the house.
"How many years has this house been standing?" Shuji asked the bodyguard who passed by him.
"This house has been standing for a long time, sir, but I don't know, what year." the bodyguard replied to Shuji.
Shuji nodded to the bodyguard and went back to his room to change his clothes and take a bath in the swimming pool.
Shuji went through the restricted area followed by the bodyguard that always accompanied Lixue.
"Here we are, sir." the bodyguard approach said.
The bodyguard pressed something and a mirror appeared and the water in the pool disappeared. Shuji was stunned when he saw a tunnel open.
"Go through there, sir, enter the other pool." the bodyguard answered to Shuji.
"The pool here is okay with me," Shuji answered the bodyguard.
"It is not ordinary water coming from here, there is a magical waterfall here that only you can bathe, sir, together with Lady Chen and your family, only you are allowed by master, no one else." the bodyguard replied to Shuji.
"What? There's a magical waterfall here?" Shuji asked as he looked at the people bathing in the pool, they were just looking at him.
The bodyguard just smiled and Shuji sighed and jumped to go down to the other pool. Shuji saw tourists, guests, and others looking at him. Shuji just avoided looking at the people and went swimming.
On the other hand, Lixue spoke with another important family business partner.
"50% is equal to the 20% that you want to raise 1,200,000 to the 50% that is yours 960,000 you have three days to make a decision, Mr. Montero," Lixue said to their family's business partner.
"Great value for money! Do you still have a budget for your company's materials?" Mr. Montero asked.
"You know my dad, Mr. Montero, he even gives you a billion if dad takes out money for our business," Lixue replied to the businessman she was talking to.
"I'll think about it, Miss Chen, we'll meet at your resort, I'll go and you'll know the answer to our conversation there." Mr. Montero answered.
They both got up and shook hands before leaving the restaurant. Lixue returned to the resort by flying to heaven with someone close to their family.
Lixue catches up with Shuji in the underground practicing martial arts. Lixue went back upstairs to rest in her room.
Shuji learns that Lixue has returned from the city. Shuji immediately went back upstairs and told him that Lixue was sleeping in her room and he went to his room to rest.
