My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1979

“Here, careful.”

“It’s okay, I’m fine.”

“That won’t do! You must be extremely careful!”

Hera grinned widely.

“Haha, what’s the matter? It’s alright. We’ve only just finished dinner, and you’re already bustling about. You should get some rest too.”

Nash shook his head and leaned toward Hera, hugging her as he said gently, “I just want to spend more time with you.”

“Oh? What’s the matter with you today? Why are you being so clingy?” Hera asked teasingly, a bright smile on her face.

“Why? You don’t want me to be clingy? I’ll leave, then,” Nash said as he pretended to get up.

“Gosh, alright, alright. You can cling to me."

The two spent their time talking to each other about everything and anything.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“We’ll always be together, won’t we?”

“Of course. We’ll always be with each other, until the end. Forever and ever and ever and ever.”

“I don’t think you need to say that many evers,” Nash complained.

“Why? Don’t you want that?” Hera asked, pursing her lips.

“Of course, I do. Of course, I do!”

“Tsk, how fake.”

“How is that fake?”

“You just are. Also, have you been doing nothing except training in solitude the past few days?” Hera asked abruptly.

Nash hugged Hera.

“Your presence is why nothing is ever a problem, Hera. I love you.”

The two smiled as they continued their conversation. Things were just like how they always had been and always would be.

Atop the clouds was an arena designed to look like a chessboard.

Nash, Clint, and the others arrived.

The arena was massive and seemed to have split the sky into two halves. Hundreds of thousands of martial artists and cultivators were here.

In the middle of the arena was an elder dressed in golden robes. He made an announcement.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties has officially begun!"
