[Zhang Juan (in disbelief, scrutinizing you): It’s you… it’s really you…]

Zhang Juan already felt a sense of familiarity, and at this moment, hearing the game character reveal his identity, she instantly recognized him.

But then she was filled with complex emotions, wanting to escape, she turned around as if trying to hide her uncontrollable expression and emotions.

Lin Qianxuan, of course, needed to press his advantage.

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Juan, it’s you, right? Although you’ve changed a lot, I know it’s you! I was cultivating on Earth before, and suddenly felt uneasy. After getting a fortune reading, I received information that you were in danger, so I found a way to travel here to find you. I’m so glad to see you’re okay!!]

A pretext to turn passive into active.

Originally, he was forced to travel over, but now it became him actively traveling here to save her.

Of course, originally he was brought over by Destiny’s arrangement to save her, but saying it that way would be hard to explain.

This excuse, albeit with flaws, if Zhang Juan really considered him that special person, it would definitely work; he wouldn’t need to showcase too many skills, she would guide herself.

[Zhang Juan (turning back, her eyes complex, looking at you): I…]

Currently, Zhang Juan’s emotions appeared to be very tangled.

An old friend not seen for many years, even someone who had been her first love in her heart, suddenly appearing like a divine weapon when she was in danger, saving her, and not disdaining her appearance in the slightest.

Naturally, she was grateful for the rescue by the game character, but she felt that the situation was not suitable for acknowledgment, always feeling she might be a burden.

As Zhang Juan was organizing her words, Lin Qianxuan began his third combo and unleashed a big move unexpectedly.

(Takes out a ring, proposes!)

After issuing the command, the game character immediately knelt on one knee, then opened the already prepared ring box towards Zhang Juan.

[Lin Qianxuan (serious and determined): Juan, I’ve had someone calculate it before I traveled; you’re still single, right? Marry me! I personally crafted the ring; I hope you won’t mind!]

Zhang Juan originally had a somewhat tangled expression, but now she suddenly froze.

Things happened too quickly and suddenly, leaving her a bit stupefied.

[Zhang Juan (looking at the ring with her name): Am I dreaming? Or am I in an illusion?]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking head, extending his left hand): It’s not a dream or an illusion. Juan, if you don’t believe it, hold my hand; I’m really here.]

[Zhang Juan (tentatively holding your left hand, still feeling strange): Why? We haven’t met in so long, and can’t you see what I look like now? Can you really accept it?]

[Lin Qianxuan (laughing): I don’t know; I just keep thinking about you. These years of life have always felt like something was missing, and later I realized that young Juan had already left a deep mark on my mind. I thought you had settled down, not intending to disturb you, but who knew Destiny still gave me this chance. This time, I won’t miss it, nor will I let you leave me again, no matter what you become, as long as you’re still Juan, you’re my irreplaceable only one…]

[Zhang Juan (hesitant): Maybe you should stand up; I’m a bit troubled right now…]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking head): I can’t. It’s hard to travel through once; I’m in a bit of a hurry. Would you just say yes now!!!]

[Zhang Juan (helpless): You’re making it so difficult, aren’t you? I really don’t know how to reply right now.]

[Lin Qianxuan (intently staring at Zhang Juan): Is it that my sincerity isn’t enough?]

[Zhang Juan (slight head shake): It’s not that. Mainly, it’s too sudden, you understand?]

[Lin Qianxuan (puzzled): Sudden? Isn’t it a surprise?]

[Zhang Juan (holding your hand, trying to lift you, looking full of helplessness): Stand up, surprise? I’m just shocked right now!]

[Lin Qianxuan (looking firmly at Zhang Juan): Then I’ll take it as you agreeing!]

(Putting the ring on Zhang Juan.)

Command issued, the game character immediately grabbed Zhang Juan’s left hand and put the ring on it.

Fortunately, this ring can adjust in size; otherwise, with Zhang Juan’s current finger, appearing full of bizarre metallic texture, it really might not fit on this ring.

Zhang Juan seemed a bit unresponsive, only when the game character put on the ring did her face reveal astonishment.

[Zhang Juan (with uncertainty and suspicion): Are you serious?]

[Lin Qianxuan (standing up, expression earnest): I’ve always been serious!!!]

[Zhang Juan (pointing at herself): My appearance now, you don’t mind?]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking head): No, not only do I not mind, but I really like it! As long as it’s you, I like everything!!]

Zhang Juan was about to speak, but Lin Qianxuan had already inputted another combo.

(Kiss her!)

The game character faithfully executing the command, directly embraced Zhang Juan and then kissed her.

Zhang Juan was stunned, her eyes widened, staring at the game character.

Now, Lin Qianxuan could somewhat guess her emotions.

Just imagine, suddenly a beautiful figure descends from the skies to save you, and you find out it’s your adolescent crush. She doesn’t mind your appearance, even comes specifically to save you; she proposes marriage upon arrival, and just as you’re a bit conflicted from the shock, she puts a wedding ring on you and embraces you with a deep kiss.

Where can one buy a pillow to have such dreams?

Of course, Zhang Juan had more experience, surely not indulging in too many unrealistic fantasies.

But faced with one move after another, she certainly didn’t have the time to think too much.

Time was too short, and things happened too abruptly; it would be the same for anyone.

[Your proposal left Zhang Juan utterly perplexed; while she had once imagined this scene, when it became reality in front of her, she was left at a loss on how to handle it. Furthermore, your sudden kiss left her even more bewildered, she was now starting to wish this all was just a dream.]

[Zhang Juan’s current connection to the String of Destiny is 36%.]

[Hint: You have acquired a Sound Talisman….]

…

Words can deceive, but the game system’s data, cannot lie.

Zhang Juan has begun to fall.

Her arms reached out several times, wanting to push the game character away, but ultimately dropped them.

Lin Qianxuan was very displeased after getting reverse-strategized in the previous round.

Now he’s finally evened out the score a bit.

If Zhang Juan could break free from his combo, he’d count himself as having lost.

After the two ended that kiss, Lin Qianxuan began a new set of combos.

(Takes out the String of Destiny, opens the Qiankun Space, and leads Zhang Juan inside.)

The game character takes out the String of Destiny, and immediately a spatial portal appears at the original place. He takes Zhang Juan and walks inside.

Zhang Juan is still a bit puzzled, having already stepped into a sea of flowers.

Not some lilies or roses, but ordinary wild chrysanthemums—white, yellow, and purple everywhere.

Among the few childhood memories is of such a patch of wild chrysanthemums on a small hill near the orphanage.

[Zhang Juan (daydreaming, breathes in): It smells so nice!]

[Lin Qianxuan (holding Zhang Juan’s hand, walking into the sea of flowers): I’ve been cultivating them for a long time. Every time I come here, I think of us playing tag and teasing each other back then.]

[Zhang Juan (looking at you): I never knew I meant so much to you…]

[Zhang Juan hears your words and is somewhat moved.]

[Current String of Destiny connection with Zhang Juan: 42%.]

[Lin Qianxuan (gently looking at Zhang Juan): Sister Juan, you have always been the most special and important in my heart.]

[Zhang Juan (conflicted): In my current situation, I really don’t know how to accept your feelings… can you give me some time?]

“Give time, what a joke? I, the Juicy Tentacle Monster, known as the King of Fast Attacks, will give you time to react and pull away?”

(Takes out the Third-Turn Dao Healing Pill for Zhang Juan.)

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Sister Juan, I know your situation might not be great right now. This is a healing elixir I exchanged through official contributions, it can heal Dao wounds and should help your current injuries.]

[Zhang Juan (waving her hand): This… this is too precious, I’m not worth you doing this for…]

[Lin Qianxuan (shrugs, pretends to throw it): If you don’t want it, Sister Juan, I can only throw it away!]

The game character raises his hand to throw the Pill Box, Zhang Juan immediately grabs the game character’s hand.

[Zhang Juan (sighs): Don’t play this trick with me, I’ll just take it!]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Sister Juan, merely accepting it isn’t enough, I want to see you take it here.]

[Zhang Juan (hesitates for a moment, then opens the Pill Box, takes out the elixir, contemplatingly looks at you): I can take it, but you have to promise me one thing.]

Lin Qianxuan knows Zhang Juan definitely intends to use this to play hard-to-get, but it’s not important. As long as she takes the elixir, the pace is in his hands.

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): As long as you, Sister Juan, take it, don’t just say one thing, even a hundred things I’ll agree to.]

[Zhang Juan (seriously looking at you): That’s a promise!]

After saying this, Zhang Juan directly puts the elixir in her mouth.

The elixir enters, instantly transforms into energy, and is absorbed by her.

Immediately, the Dao Principle within seems to take effect, her appearance gradually changes, reverting back to her original human form.

She herself is surprised by the transformation, seemingly not expecting such a good effect from the elixir.

[The elixir you gave Zhang Juan has a huge healing ability for her situation, temporarily alleviating her predicament, for which she is very grateful.]

[Current String of Destiny connection with Zhang Juan: 63%.]

…..

[Zhang Juan (looks at you with a complex expression): This thing is very valuable, right?]

[Lin Qianxuan (nods): I went all out for it!]

[Zhang Juan (with a complex expression, slightly clenches her fist): Right now I really don’t know what to say, I’m very grateful and touched, but it’s too sudden, I really don’t know how to respond to you…]

[Lin Qianxuan (laughs): Sister Juan, your hair is a bit messy, can I fix it up for you, just like when we were kids?]

[Zhang Juan (hesitates for a moment, then slightly nods): Okay.]

Zhang Juan has been so baffled by the game character’s series of moves, it’s hard for her to have any firm opinions anymore.

Virtually, whatever Lin Qianxuan says she silently accepts.

Immediately, Zhang Juan sits quietly in the sea of flowers, while the game character takes out a simple green hair ribbon to tie up Zhang Juan’s hair.

All of this is just as it was back then when they experienced together.

(Takes out a mirror for Zhang Juan to look at.)

The game character hands Zhang Juan a mirror, and Zhang Juan blankly looks at herself in the mirror, along with the game character behind her, somewhat in a daze.

[You tying up Zhang Juan’s hair reminds her of her childhood memories.]

[Current String of Destiny connection with Zhang Juan: 71%.]

[Zhang Juan (somewhat distracted): Why are you so good to me?]

She seems to be asking knowingly yet seems to confirm something.

[Lin Qianxuan (hugging Zhang Juan from behind): Because you, Sister Juan, are the most special to me.]

[Zhang Juan (turns around to look at you, her eyes a bit moist): Then why did you only come now!!!]

This sentence seems like a complaint, but more like a playful whine.

Lin Qianxuan rarely sees this side of a big sister, and can’t help but smile knowingly.

He is just about to respond, then Zhang Juan suddenly hugs the game character intensely.

“Ah? I’ve hit over a hundred combos and you still found a chance to counterattack? Big sis, you’re really strong!”

Lin Qianxuan widens his eyes, with mixed emotions.
