Heartbroken

The room isn't small, so why is there only one sofa, and it's not even that big?

With nothing else to do, Alina, who was inwardly complaining, found a seat furthest away from Pei Jingnian and sat down.

"Is there anything you'd like to drink?"

"No."

Let's not even mention that she had no idea what drinks existed in this world.

Most importantly, she now has only one thought in mind: to finish this part as soon as possible.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Pei Jingnian turned on the TV, but it wasn't showing a TV series or a movie.

After the light blue startup screen, a striking battlefield scene appeared on the display. Before Alina could take a closer look, Pei Jingnian shrunk the display to its smallest size and pressed the pause button.

"Were you scared?" The voice asked with concern.

If Alina is afraid, Pei Jingnian will not open the program even if the "plot" that follows is what he is looking forward to.

The alluring fox eyes held a burning warmth, and the emotions surging within them were impossible to conceal.

Since Alina started subtly linking the virtual world with her partner, she has exhibited some strange reactions.

For example, right now, she smoothly avoided the other person's strange (crossed out) affectionate gaze.

I always feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

You should know that she used to always look people in the eye when she spoke to them.

Her fingers unconsciously traced lines on the hem of her skirt. Alina denied it softly, "I wasn't scared." After thinking for a moment, she added, "I want to keep watching."

Constrained by language and work, Alina has not yet been able to leave the manor. Now that she has a way to learn about the outside world, how could she possibly let it go?

It's still about the combat capabilities of the world's military.

This is also one of the reasons why Alina worked so diligently even though she didn't initially know the purpose of the holographic experience world.

Not to mention, she instinctively felt it was better to have the TV on; the living room was too quiet.

Just what he wanted, Pei Jingnian zoomed in on the display box and then pressed the start button.

The camera pans across the blood-red battlefield, where black and red intertwine, and finally focuses on a mecha that Alina is very familiar with.

The silver-white mecha was like a bright light in the dark night, attracting much attention.

Outside the holographic chamber, Chu Yanbing, who saw this scene on the giant display wall, suddenly felt her heart jump. Pei Jingnian only had one chance to spend time with Alina in human form for the time being. Why was he there during such a precious time?

It still looks like it's from the first-person perspective.

Any normal person would try their best to show off their strengths in all aspects; he wouldn't be foolish enough to think that this is a good thing.

The fluffy little paws unconsciously took a few steps forward, its tail wagging anxiously. As the mecha bay opened, a large snow leopard with fur as white as an ink painting appeared on the screen, and the kitten's wagging tail immediately drooped listlessly on the table.

Chu Yanbing was no longer anxious about the unknown, because he had already guessed Pei Jingnian's plan.

His only worry now is whether Alina will like him less once she knows the truth, since a large part of his current special treatment comes from this misunderstanding.

In Alina's eyes, the operator of this mech moved very cleanly and efficiently, and was also very strong in combat. The ugly Zerg was blown into countless blood flowers in the blink of an eye.

For some reason, the image of Chu Yanbing teaching her how to operate a mecha suddenly popped into her mind, and her heart skipped a few beats without her realizing it.

The silver mech was incredibly powerful, and the swarm of insects seemed to appear endlessly in the frame. Suddenly, the silver mech's movements slowed down by half a beat.

The moment the cockpit door opened, a giant snow leopard with exceptionally smooth fur that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight appeared on the ground.

The snow leopard went into battle mode the moment it landed.

Before Alina could continue to admire the silver mech's combat power, the moment the snow leopard appeared, the focus shifted to it for some reason.

So Alina was unaware that after the snow leopard appeared, the silver mech quickly ran out of energy and left the battlefield.

There seems to be something on the snow leopard's paw?

Although the thing was transparent, because the snow leopard moved slowly and mainly killed insects in batches, Alina soon discovered a layer of jelly-like substance on its furry paws.

After looking at it a few more times, she noticed that the snow leopard also had this on its tail.

What kind of weapon is this?

Alina was very curious, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear of making a mistake.

She raised her hand to take a picture with her personal computer and then search for it in the image search, but the next second she remembered that she was in a virtual world and that things taken with the personal computer could not be brought into the real world.

Never mind, I should have a chance to figure it out later.

This weapon has a feature that really appeals to her: it can isolate dirty things.

Alina discovered that no matter how the snow leopard used its paws or tail to kill the insectoids, the fur on its paws and tail remained clean.

It has the same effect as her enchanted magic robe.

What happened next seemed to happen much faster.

Alina watched helplessly as the crystal-clear weapon gradually became stained with a murky and ominous color, from gray to deep black.

Just when Alina thought the thing needed to be recycled or was some kind of disposable weapon, the blackened "jelly" detached from the snow leopard and then slammed into several ugly insects not far away like a cannonball.

It's still a shotgun-style area-of-effect weapon.

As the jelly-like cannonball exploded silently, the surrounding Zerg were killed or wounded in droves, and scattered black shells and drops of blood were scattered across the dark red wasteland.

As the black "jelly" detached, the original transparent weapon seemed to appear out of thin air on the snow leopard's paws and tail, a completely seamless transition.

This is pretty good.

Alina's eyes sparkled, and she even managed a final burst of energy.

want to.

While Alina was looking at the monitor, Pei Jingnian's attention was almost entirely on her, only occasionally glancing at the progress on the screen.

Alina's covetousness for weapons was a devastating blow to Pei Jingnian, who was secretly plotting against her!

Why does it seem like she really likes the Marshal's snow leopard beast form when he's wreaking havoc?

Does she love their animal forms that much?

Compared to the cute little girl's various hugs, kisses, and feeding, to be honest, Pei Jingnian couldn't really feel the other party's affection for them, these beastmen with large animal forms.

Or rather, one could sense it, but it was significantly weakened by her preference for small beast forms.

The reason for this whole thing was Pei Jingnian's two experiences of being forced to "bully the weak," with the aim of letting Alina know the truth that the Marshal was not a cat-beastman but a snow leopard-beastman!

That way, she won't have any more romantic feelings for the marshal!

He knew he was the one being bullied!

She might even get angry because she felt "deceived" and kick the marshal out of the courtship arena!

But seeing the other person's joyful expression, Pei Jingnian felt uneasy: Had he made a mistake?

If he were the protagonist in this story, he would be the one being gazed at with starry eyes by his sweetheart right now!

But things have already come to this point, and he can only hope that the goal will be achieved.

Time flew by on the screen, and Alina could sense that the snow leopard was getting weaker and weaker, but it was truly incredibly strong.

Alina felt that its combat power seemed to be comparable to hers, a high-level mage, if her assessment of the Zerg's combat power was correct.

Even if her estimate was wrong, it shouldn't be by much, since she had encountered the Zerg twice before in the virtual world.

Her coveted target instantly shifted from the unknown jelly weapon back to the battle pet she had always dreamed of.

However, putting yourself in her shoes, her owner would never give her such an all-around battle pet, no matter what they offered in exchange.

When will the snow leopard have puppies? I really, really, really want one!

Just as Alina was eyeing the snow leopard's incredibly strong cubs, the snow leopard on the screen suddenly changed its appearance.

"Sweetie!?"

Alina jumped up in surprise and quickly moved closer to the television, wanting to see it clearly. But the scene of her changing shape had already passed.

Although the disappearance of the snow leopard and the appearance of the kitten proved that she wasn't seeing things, Alina still wanted to see it again. Her cool voice was urgent: "Can I replay it?"

Seeing that Alina seemed a little angry, Pei Jingnian happily affirmed, "Of course!"

Time seemed to rewind instantly, and this time Alina truly witnessed the snow leopard turn into a kitten.

What's the underlying principle behind this?

As she pondered, Alina's expression turned serious, and the starry-eyed look she had just had vanished.

Instantly, both inside and outside the virtual pod, and inside and outside the live stream, the air became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the hearts of most people jumped into their throats.

Especially Chu Yanbing, the protagonist.

Will Alina stop liking the Marshal's beast form? After all, the Marshal initially benefited from the small size of his beast form.

Will Alina no longer consider Marshal as her first or most important choice because of her beast form?

This is what most viewers think.

Is this considered deception?

Chu Yanbing suddenly thought of this question, and her already tense nerves were instantly filled with fear, and a slight stinging pain came from her heart.

Shouldn't he have kept it a secret?

Although Alina had previously expressed her liking for his snow leopard form, Chu Yanbing, who was particularly insecure, thought to himself: Maybe she's just a hypocrite?

After all, her feelings for him, which were merely a mimicry, were genuine, and Chu Yanbing feared that once this identity was exposed, she would change.

He was afraid she would withdraw her favoritism towards him.

They kept putting it off until others found out.

Chu Yanbing smiled bitterly to himself: the situation was getting worse.

The other five fluffy creatures were overjoyed, wagging their tails in unison: their spring was coming!

Pei Jingnian's lips curled into a wild smile: He had finally been exonerated!

Both today's incident and the previous one were truly injuries inflicted on him by the Marshal!

How could he possibly defeat a marshal!

He's only grade A!

[A just and upright official! jpg.]

Just when everyone thought Alina would get angry or lower her opinion of the Marshal, she said something that almost no one expected: "Do the tigers and the others also have such a small form?"

Alina's eyes lit up, her expression full of anticipation.

what does that mean! ?

To please her own senses?

No, no, no, these are all points!

If the big tigers and the others also had a smaller form, wouldn't the dress-up quests be a breeze to complete? Wouldn't the points just keep rolling in?

"No."

"Snap" is the sound of one heart breaking, one after the other.

Former Pei Jingnian, heartbroken: Why is her attention here? Isn't she angry? The Marshal lied to her!

The marshal was neither petite nor weak. Apart from having softer fur, he was just like them—oh no, he was even more ferocious than them!
