Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 151 150, Long-lost peace...

"Mr. Du Wei, you... just... just this?"

Alex bit her teeth in anger, instantly turned her body around, and stared at Du Wei angrily.

Her eyes were filled with displeasure!

Whereas Du Wei pretended to speak indifferently, "Otherwise, what?"

Actually, he also felt embarrassed. He understood what Alex meant, but instinctively felt that it wasn't the right thing to do.

Confirming a relationship didn't mean they had to immediately become intimate.

That would only make him feel like a scumbag.

A woman's body didn't hold much attraction for him, after all, he studied forensic medicine in college, and the bodies he dissected were not differentiated by gender.

It was most suitable when things fall naturally into place, and under the current circumstances, he didn't want their relationship to progress so quickly.

At the very least... they would discuss it after returning from Massas City.

Alex snorted coldly, unable to help but roll her eyes.

Conceptions of East and West are formed from one's upbringing.

The West is relatively bolder; facing someone they like, they want to possess them wholeheartedly, and whether it's appropriate or not is a matter for later.

Of course, Alex always felt that she and Du Wei were a good match.

However, she also knew that's how Du Wei was and respected him for it.

Love, when not considering reality, can only last longer if both sides respect and understand each other.

But understanding and respect is one thing, and feeling annoyed is another.

"Baby, you're making me doubt my charm now..."

Alex stared at Du Wei's face and leaned in directly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

And Du Wei's body tensed up as he slowly said, "You're mistaken, you're beautiful and have temperament, how could you not be charming?"

Alex scoffed, "Heh, I seem to have heard you say that before. Are your compliments for your girlfriend this sparse?"

Speaking, she had a peculiar look in her eyes, with a suggestive tone she said, "However, I'm not a big fan of sweet talk. Proving you're my boyfriend is very simple, do what you're supposed to do."

Alex was stunned; she now realized just how dangerous the things her boyfriend was dealing with were.

Suddenly, she felt timid.

It wasn't that she wanted to keep her distance from Du Wei, but she didn't want him to take any more risks.

Nothing was more important than the safety of one's loved ones.

Seeing what was on Alex's mind, Du Wei spoke in a comforting tone, "Don't worry too much. I am responsible for all the Evil Spirit incidents in New York, which means I have the capability. If it's truly dangerous, I will prioritize my own safety."

Alex nodded softly and reached out to hold Du Wei's hand, unwilling to let go.

"I understand what you mean, but a woman's intuition tells me it's not as easy as you say. In fact, I can sense you have a lot of things hidden in your heart."

"Yes, I won't deny that," he admitted.

"Can I help you in any way?" she asked.

"I don't really want you to come into contact with those things."

"How about something else? Like the information about the mental hospital, or the origins of those Antique Clocks? There must be something I can help you with, right?"

Upon hearing this, Du Wei fell silent.

Feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart, he thought it must be touched.

After taking a moment to reflect, Du Wei spoke up, "There is indeed something I would like your help with."

Alex smiled, "Please tell me."

Du Wei replied, "I'm planning to visit the Uninhabited City in Massas soon; I need information about it. Also, while I'm away in Massas, I hope we can make it seem like we have always been together."

After listening, Alex had a strange expression and said, "I think I get your point. The latter part is easy; I can drive with you to visit my parents' city. After leaving New York, you can get out and go your way. But the Uninhabited City of Massas..."

Du Wei narrowed his eyes, "You know about it?"

Alex frowned and replied, "Sort of. The largest iron foundry there last century belonged to my family's business."

"Hmm... many people died there."

"But the time with the most deaths wasn't last century. It was at the beginning of the century, when some residential buildings were being constructed."

"The land beneath was hollowed out, and an entire neighborhood sank into the ground... At least a few thousand people died, I think."

"I was young then but vaguely remember it causing a big commotion before it gradually faded away."
