Chapter 219

After a brief time together in the morning, and after accompanying Lingwu through a meal, Luanjing received Lingwu's sweet smile.

"Sister Luanjing, you came all the way from the far east to the castle. Do you miss your family?"

Having become too relaxed around Ling Wu, Luan Jing gradually lost her initial caution and blurted out, "No, after all, once we log off..."

She raised her hand to her lips, stopping herself from saying what she was about to say.

Even in that instant, she could clearly feel a chill running down her back.

A chilling feeling washed over me!

What happened? I've been playing games for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen her so relaxed.

She met the girl's clear eyes, trying to see through the probing and calculation in Ling Wu's gaze.

But all she could see was a girl with starry eyes, full of confusion, tilting her head and asking, "Offline? Is that how Easterners refer to their home?"

Seeing her innocent and unguarded appearance, Luan Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because she had been called "expert" for so long that she had lost the sense of urgency she once had, which is why she almost got tricked into revealing information.

However, after this incident, she still became wary, so she stood up, cupped her hands in a salute, and said, "This was just a slip of the tongue by your subject. I hope Your Highness will not take it to heart."

Lingwu stared at Luanjing's face, whose expression was obscured by her bowed head, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Only when she personally helped Luan Jing up did Ling Wu's eyes regain their clarity.

The moment Lingwu helped Luanjing up, she could clearly feel the pair of small, soft, and cool hands that were helping her up.

Immediately afterwards, the cool fragrance emanating from the girl filled his nostrils.

She thought to herself that after logging off, she would have to go to the mall to find this fragrance that she had never smelled before.

It is fragrant yet elegant, and its cool and aloofness seems otherworldly.

The Ghost Realm is truly extravagant; even the simulated incense has such a unique allure.

As she was deep in thought, the girl's soft, delicate voice suddenly invaded her ears again.

"Then let's use [offline] as a little secret between me and Sister Luanjing as... a close friendship."

Luan Jing quickly looked up, and the girl only had time to take a small step back, so that the soft and cool lips seemed to touch her cheek.

She kissed him gently and softly, unsure whether she actually managed to get a kiss.

But his eyes could no longer leave the girl's pink lips. Luan Jing remained calm and composed on the surface, but his heart was churning like a tsunami!

This NPC is so good at flirting!

Moreover, he flirted without even realizing it!

Looking into her clear, big eyes, it's as if she didn't notice that at all!

So, is she the only one who feels like she's been outmaneuvered?

The player was unwittingly flirted with by the NPC!

Luan Jing swallowed hard, her series of actions completely disregarding her usual caution!

She took a step back in a panic, "Your Highness, that's not how you use the term 'close friends'."

She exhaled and calmly explained, "A friendship based on handkerchiefs is not just about two women exchanging handkerchiefs as tokens; it means that among many women, only those two have the closest relationship."

"Only in that way can they be called true friends."

Ling Wu frowned, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. "But besides Sister Yuzhu, I've only ever met Sister Luanjing."

Luan Jing's lips parted and closed twice, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say anything to refute or refuse.

Finally, she seemingly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, but in reality, she took it out of the system space.

[Jade Maiden Handkerchief (Rank A Item): Quickly increases the trust level from an Eastern NPC to full.] [Use, Gift, Discard]

Her gaze lingered on "use" for a moment before she finally chose "gift".

Using items to win over NPCs is pointless, and high-level NPCs may even become resistant.

"In that case, Your Highness, please keep my handkerchief safe." Luan Jing suppressed her pounding heart and presented it with both hands.

Lingwu took the handkerchief and, as if it were a precious treasure, imitated Luanjing's movements, carefully tucking it into her sleeve.

Then she lifted her skirt, turned around, unlocked a locked box on the dressing table, and took out a ruby ​​ring.

“I don’t have a handkerchief, but this is my favorite ring. I hope Sister Luanjing can take good care of it.”

Luan Jing shook his head and refused, "Is this your favorite? Your Highness, this is too precious, I cannot accept it."

“But isn’t the handkerchief that Sister Luanjing gave me also the most cherished handkerchief by Eastern women?” Lingwu said with a smile.

Luan Jing had no choice but to accept the ring. She didn't dare to look Ling Wu in the eye for a moment, since the handkerchief was just a system item to her.

But she quickly convinced herself that the lively little princess in front of her was just an NPC with a pre-programmed sequence of events.

There's nothing to feel guilty about...

【Agate Ruby Ring (S-Rank Item): A gift personally bestowed by the most esteemed princess of Rose Castle. Wearing it will earn you the respect of all soldiers and citizens of Rose Royal City (cannot be transferred)】

However, after seeing the true nature of her character, the guilt she had just convinced herself of betrayed her original intentions and returned once again.

With this ring, it's like she can come and go as she pleases in the entire Rose City. NPCs on the street will give her gifts, and even her food, clothing, and lodging will be provided free of charge. She can also gather information much faster than other players!

"Little angel, I will definitely protect you well." At this moment, Luan Jing's guard against Ling Wu completely disappeared.

How could a simple and kind little princess possibly have the ability to influence her judgment?

It must be because the little princess was too wonderful that she let her guard down.

[Ding! Princess's favorability increased by 20]

Even as night fell and Luan Jing logged off, her steps still felt somewhat unreal, as if she were floating.

Wasn't Lan Si supposed to be hard to win over? How come the little angel's affection level with her reached 50 in just one afternoon?

Lingwu looked at Luanjing, who had suddenly disappeared from her sight, her eyes rippled slightly.

She took the handkerchief out of her sleeve and examined it closely in her hand.

Landric, carrying the medicine into the bedroom, darkened considerably when he saw the handkerchief.

In just one day, there were signs of other people around his beloved sister.

His eyes were filled with a deep, dark color, which intensified over time.

After watching Lingwu finish the medicine, Landric finally looked at the handkerchief and asked, "Awu, could you let your brother take a look at this handkerchief?"

Lingwu shook her head without hesitation, "Sister Luanjing said no."

Landric, who was rejected by his sister for the first time, paused in mid-air, then naturally withdrew his hand. "Alright, brother, I respect Awu's wishes."

But he had already made a mental note of this person who coveted his sister.

"Brother Wang is so kind."

Landric suppressed the violent emotions in his eyes and asked Lingwu with the same gentle and doting tone, "So, Lingwu, do you think your brother is better during the day or at night?"
