"Brother, am I beautiful?"
Zhang Lexuan stared at Lu Cheng infatuatedly, a smile curling at the corners of her lips like a blooming deep blue flower. In this instant, the world lost its color, and even Jiang Nannan, the number one beauty of the Outer Academy, was completely overshadowed.
"Beautiful!" Lu Cheng nodded heavily.
Her behavior today was very strange. On the surface, everything was calm, but he knew this was a self-protection mechanism after extreme emotional fluctuation, suppressing those painful, heart-wrenching memories.
Thus, in Lu Cheng's eyes, she was like a dormant volcano, her emotions nearly on the verge of spiraling out of control.
There was no help for it; anyone would find this hard to accept.
In a certain other world…
Another emotionally stable person, the "Second Son," had his clan wiped out and was driven nearly insane by his brother's betrayal, only barely pulled back from the path of corruption by the "bonds" of his teammates.
But Zhang Lexuan... had to heal herself.
Her heart had long since shattered into pieces. After all, when he had laid out this chess game to obtain a higher score in the simulator, he had raised Zhang Lexuan on the scale of a BOSS.
But who could have imagined that after successfully raising a BOSS, the simulator would also toss the BOSS out?
Lu Cheng: "..."
Regarding Zhang Lexuan, he did not apologize, because an apology at this moment would be too cheap.
Outside the academy. Inside a carriage.
"Xiaotao has already spoken to me."
Zhang Lexuan's eyes lowered, her slender hand gently stroking the jade hairpin, swaying it slightly to produce a sound like silver bells.
On her stunning face, the playfulness from just moments ago slowly faded, replaced by a forcefully suppressed indifference and hatred, or even... extreme greed, a gaze that wished to knead Lu Cheng into her own body.
"Brother, I don't hate you. I'm very happy that you could come to Shrek Academy, really very happy. Today is the happiest day Lexuan has had in years, but... What if you want to leave tomorrow?" Zhang Lexuan sat opposite Lu Cheng, resting her chin on her hand, her light blue eyes carrying a trace of danger and coldness.
"If you abandon me casually, just like you did silently before, and then play the hero, making decisions for me and arranging things I don't want, what should I do? Brother, now that our positions are reversed, I am no longer the little girl who can be easily fooled."
"How about I cripple your martial soul..." A ghostly breath escaped near Lu Cheng's ear, tugging at his heartstrings. "And then we fly far away, spending the rest of our lives on an isolated island. Don't worry, Brother, I won't despise you for growing old. After you die, I will leave with you."
"I will bear a group of children for you, leaving behind descendants for our bloodlines. I can do anything for you..." Zhang Lexuan's fair arms wrapped around Lu Cheng's shoulders, two great mountains pressing over, surging and magnificent. The height difference caused her to press solidly against Lu Cheng's face, soft and suffocating. A stunning face pressed tightly against his, warm breath permeating his neck, the respiration making him itch.
Lu Cheng's throat bobbed: "..."
It's over.
This time, I've really overplayed my hand.
The popular "raising a BOSS" segment, where he excitedly died in front of the BOSS, never expected the BOSS to break the dimensional wall and chase him out.
Isn't this supposed to be a simulator?
No one told him it would become reality offline!
"Lexuan, I was wrong," Lu Cheng said bitterly.
"There are many things I shouldn't have kept from you. Indeed, you have the right to know. Many things were me acting on my own, measuring you all by my own standards... I repent; I am guilty."
The scene was somewhat silent.
And Lu Cheng clearly felt the "big sister" beside him stiffen, looking over with resentful eyes.
"Brother, you are still as... as ever."
Zhang Lexuan spat out two words faintly.
"Cunning."
Lu Cheng sighed lightly.
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to turn from cloudy to sunny. The dark, cold aura gradually faded, replaced by Zhang Lexuan's gentle and sweet smile.
"Since that's the case, then Brother, you cannot lie to me again, okay? If there is a next time..."
She leaned close to Lu Cheng's ear, her breath like orchids.
"I won't give you another chance to explain, Brother."
Half a year later.
Shrek City.
On the magnificent street.
Zhang Lexuan's red lips parted slightly, licking a hot roasted sausage. "The taste is not bad; it's just a pity... it's too small. Brother, what do you think?"
The beauty looked smilingly at Lu Cheng beside her.
"I will try hard to cultivate..." Lu Cheng's expression was blank, his eyelids twitching.
Over the past half year, Zhang Lexuan had dedicated herself to helping him increase his physical body, feeding him whale rubber, soaking him in medicinal baths, and was keen on doing it herself. Having already obtained spirit bone and physical body enhancements, his physical strength was now comparable to a strong person at the spirit saint realm.
And his strength had completely crossed into a level 50 Spirit King.
'I need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest in the coming days to capture my fifth soul ring,' Lu Cheng pondered.
The main storyline was about to begin.
It was another enrollment season for Shrek Academy. If his deduction was correct, Huo Yuhao should be leaving the Duke's Mansion soon. Electrolux, this unique hexagonal super mentor of the whole game, could not be missed. Of course, there was also Tianmeng, the super-sized power bank. Since his martial soul had blood pupils, there was naturally no reason not to snatch it.
As for the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, sorry, kid, there are some things you can't handle; let Brother handle it...
"Let Xiaotao go with you. I have some things to investigate clearly." The beauty stretched lazily, wearing high heels, looking down at Lu Cheng from above, and couldn't help but pinch his cheeks again, her pretty face full of smiles.
"Brother, you're so cute after becoming small. I'm overflowing with maternal love now; I can't wait to let you taste..."
"Uh..." Lu Cheng's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly changed the subject. "You are going to investigate the massacre of the Zhang family?"
"Not bad. Since in that other world, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao colluded, acting in cahoots, and slaughtered hundreds of my Zhang family, then in this life... it is not impossible." A thick killing intent flashed in Zhang Lexuan's light blue eyes.
Parents slaughtered, this hatred was irreconcilable.
She was not stupid either.
Actually, the truth had long since surfaced. The evidence she had collected in the Sun Moon Empire over the past two years gradually connected the events and the truth in her memory, but she still needed more definitive things.
As for Mu En...
She would personally take his head!
"Brother, in this life, let me protect you."
Zhang Lexuan smiled gently, and the two towering, magnificent mountains covered Lu Cheng again.
"Uh... I can't breathe," Lu Cheng said helplessly.
"Let's go!" The beauty put on a dark green cloak and put on a mask, covering everything up, and her figure gradually disappeared from view.
"Let's go!"
And the next moment, another voice rang out from his ear.
A tall woman in red stood by his side, her arm resting on Lu Cheng's shoulder, her crimson eyes full of excitement and joy.
"Seamless transition..." Lu Cheng's mouth twitched.
She was really afraid that he would slip away.
