The girl in snow-white robes was like an immortal in a painting. She stood calmly in the depths of the bamboo forest with a pair of slightly angry eyes. She stared at the young man who had suddenly left her side and appeared between the two unfamiliar men. She seemed to be puzzled as to why the person called Deities Without Thought would want to cut off Happy's head even though they had no grudge against each other. There was indeed no logic in killing people in the world of wanderers.
"…"
Deities Without Thought was already in complete panic.
He had been struck by Night Rain Follows Wind's slash and was heavily injured. Right now, an unfamiliar Chinese player with unfathomable strength suddenly appeared beside him, and he even seemed to be One Emperor and Happy's acquaintance. His expression froze, and he could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
"I'm sorry, I made a wrong analogy."
While he explained, Deities Without Thought maintained the posture of lifting his saber. He did not dare to act recklessly, afraid that his actions would bring danger to his life.
Happy did not care about Deities Without Thought's nervousness and anxiety. He took a step forward and swept his gaze past Night Rain Follows Wind before he faced Deities Without Thought, who had a harmless expression on his face. He lifted the white veil that covered his face and smiled faintly. "Repeat what you said just now to my face!"
"…"
Deities Without Thought was originally thinking about how he should avoid the disaster that day.
When he saw the mysterious man lift the white veil that covered his face, he could not help but cast a few more glances at him.
When he did so, his breathing instantly quickened, and his body shuddered.
He looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
"C-Happy …"
In an instant, Deities Without Thought's face turned stark pale. All blood instantly drained from his face.
The legendary martial artist in the Chinese world of martial artists he mentioned just now had appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
His mind buzzed, and Deities Without Thought was dumbfounded.
He seemed to have vaguely heard Happy say, "Go back to Japan and don't come to the Chinese server again, or else, every time you come, you will die." Then, his vision was thrown into the air, and his consciousness was swiftly destroyed.
"Thank you for saving me twice, brother."
Night Rain Follows Wind might not have heard Deities Without Thought's words clearly, but he could vaguely recognize that the person who came was his benefactor who had unsealed his acupressure point in the house. He wrapped his fist in his palm and was just about to thank him when that person swiftly vanished from his sight like a wisp of smoke. When he recovered, the bamboo forest was quiet.
The quest was completed.
"Who is it?"
Night Rain Follows Wind recovered from his injuries, and when he stopped meditating, he still did not know who the person who saved him twice was. However, when he saw the corpse on the ground, he could not help but feel his hatred dissipate.
"Hmph, how dare you come to the Central Plains and cause trouble with just this bit of strength?" Once he finished speaking, he did not dare to stay any longer and headed to the seaside.
…
When he returned to the bamboo forest, he brought Zhou Zhiruo, who he had saved from another bamboo house, to the seaside.
Chen Youliang of the Beggar Sect had already left the Spirit Snake Island with his men!
Happy originally wanted to bring Zhou Zhiruo away from Spirit Snake Island to prevent the pure-hearted and unparalleled beauty in Jin Yong's novel from turning into a completely selfish and sinister woman, but he did not expect that before the people from Beggar's Sect left, they would deliberately destroy the other ships left on Spirit Snake Island.
"Damned Chen Youliang."
He stared at the wreckage floating on the surface of the sea, and he knew that in the end, he still could not win against the system.
The System was still controlling the direction of the plot. Everything was still developing according to the original plot!
…
"There are no more boats. Why don't we wait until tomorrow?"
Zhou Zhiruo said.
Happy could only smile wanly in response. 'Without a boat, we can't go out to sea.'
But Spirit Snake Island was huge, and it was impossible for them to hide Zhou Zhiruo. If they stayed on the beach, they would definitely be discovered by Golden Flower Granny. Both of them could only enter the depths of Spirit Snake Island and search for a place to stay while they waited for a boat to appear.
…
Happy found a dilapidated and abandoned house and used it as their temporary home.
He swept away the spider webs in the house and swept away the dust. Then, he placed a beast skin on the rather spacious floor and brought out some fruits.
Both of them ate quietly and said nothing to each other.
…
No one knew how much time had passed before Zhou Zhiruo suddenly spoke and broke the unbearable silence in the house.
"Young Swordsman Happy."
The clear and melodious voice was very sudden in the quiet little house.
Happy opened his eyes, and his puzzled gaze landed on Zhou Zhiruo's curious eyes.
"What is it?"
Zhou Zhiruo turned her face slightly to the side and spoke to the air in front of her with a tone that made her sound as if she was in a trance. "When my mistress was alive, you were a chivalrous person.
You did everything you could to get rid of the evil cult and save the six great system-allocated sects, but after my mistress died, you didn't ask for any reward from me. Now that my mistress has passed away, you deliberately went to Mount Emei to help me. In fact, you even chased after me from Emei Mountain to Spirit Snake Island to save me. "
A faint hint of red appeared on Zhou Zhiruo's face.
"Do you like me?"
"…"
Happy was stunned.
'What? Can an NPC date a player? '
Just when Happy's face turned red and his heart raced, Zhou Zhiruo spoke to the air in a tone that made her sound as if she was sleepwalking. "Did you believe what my senior sister said to my mistress when we were at Light Summit?"
"… Ah."
Happy was filled with a myriad of emotions. Right when he wanted to speak to see whether the system had truly become abnormally open-minded, he suddenly heard Zhou Zhiruo's tone change. "In truth, I already have someone I like."
In an instant, a basin of cold water was poured over him. His burning heart was instantly extinguished.
'Idiot!
How can an NPC have anything between her and a player?! '
Happy looked down on his heart for nearly cheating on him over and over again.
Zhou Zhiruo mumbled by the side about how she met Zhang Wuji when she was young. At that time, she was helpless, and Zhang Wuji was gravely ill and alone.
'I knew it!'
Her feelings for him had been planted at that time. A mottled white handkerchief made Zhiruo, the daughter of a fisherman's family who had lost her parents when she was young, feel something in her heart.
Then, when she met Zhang Wuji again, that one slash caused the pure and kind Zhou Zhiruo to sink into it, and she was unable to free herself.
As he listened to Zhou Zhiruo's confession, Happy gradually sorted out his chaotic thoughts and wild thoughts. He gradually found his place in the story.
"There will not be a second man in my heart, but Young Swordsman Happy, you will be my best friend in the future, alright?"
When Zhou Zhiruo said these words, Happy smiled in understanding, and a hint of clarity appeared in his eyes, as well as relief.
At that moment …
"Ding!
The system notification suddenly rose.
"Answer Zhou Zhiruo. If you nod and agree to Zhou Zhiruo's request, you will obtain Zhou Zhiruo's trust and will entrust her to you. If you reject Zhou Zhiruo, our relationship will fall from trust to indifference."
In that sort of situation, even the most idiotic person would know what choice he should make.
He sucked in a deep breath and turned his face around to look at Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful, ethereal, and expectant face.
