After a passionate kiss that marked their long-awaited reunion, Yin Chen and Long Xun, their bodies enveloped in a sticky, sweet aura, approached Wu Zhou and Tang Qi.

Tang Qi is practically a walking meme. His expression at this moment, so conflicted and complex, is almost beyond resolution. Even the best actors would struggle to portray that kind of expression.

In stark contrast is Wu Zhou's still expressionless, devilishly handsome face.

Wu Zhou slightly raised her delicate chin, her captivating peach blossom eyes holding nine parts calm and one part curiosity. She glanced at Yin Chen before asking Long Xun, "Love and destiny?"

"spouse."

"Um."

Then the two fell silent.

The communication between icebergs is that simple.

Tang Qi suddenly realized what was happening. Looking at Yin Chen and Long Xun, whose expressions were lively and whose movements were fluid, unlike the stiff, mechanical movements of NPCs and other players, Tang Qi's eyes widened in shock, and he stammered, "You two?! No… Long Xun… Yin Chen… What Yin Chen! You're that Second Young Master! You two?"

Despite her sexy deep-V dress exuding a hint of wickedness, this handsome and refined guy in front of me, with his elegant high heels and a face full of meme-worthy expressions, is nothing but silly, stupid, and neurotic.

Dressed in pink, the elegant young master stood with his feet slightly apart, legs together, two swords strapped to his back, his posture as graceful and upright as a pine or bamboo. His silver hair fluttered in the night breeze beneath the Ming Cult's Three Lives Tree, his indifferent yet handsome face revealing a hint of gentleness. He tilted his head slightly, his pale golden vertical pupils as beautiful as glass, gazing at the carefree beggar brother beside him.

Upon hearing Tang Qi's words, Xiu Ye, who was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, turned his gaze over. The moment his eyes left Gai Ge, they froze, becoming cold and devoid of any human warmth.

That familiar gaze made Tang Qi involuntarily stiffen, and a slight shiver ran through him. He suddenly remembered that their first encounter hadn't been pleasant.

Wu Zhou suddenly spoke up, breaking the awkward atmosphere: "Look."

The first to respond to the call was Yin Chen, who always went wherever there was excitement. He followed Wu Zhou's gaze, raised an eyebrow, and smiled with interest: "I didn't expect to run into some gossip today!"

The current scene is strikingly similar to the day when Wu Zhou and his old friend Gu Jun had a complete falling out.

A severely injured player lay on the ground, a text bubble appearing above his gray name, surrounded by several other players.

The friends and relatives of both sides confronted each other, talking back and forth. In summary, the player who was killed was nicknamed Xiaodie. She had an ambiguous relationship with another male player during a raid. After she broke up with her current partner, he felt unbalanced and came to seek justice today.

It's nothing. In games, if you're not happy, you fight. These kinds of killings due to romantic relationships or revenge are relatively forgivable; there are plenty of people who are killed for no reason at all.

Xiaodie and her relatives and friends kept arguing, believing that if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. They also said that it was because of Xiaodie's suspicion in the relationship that she broke up with her partner.

Both sides have their own reasons, and in reality, there aren't really any eight points.

Yin Chen glanced at it and turned away in disappointment, sighing, "I thought it was some juicy gossip!"

Tang Qi also expressed her disappointment: "Yeah, it's not as good as that annual gossip I saw on Tieba the other day! Hey, you guys don't know, that guy was penniless, unemployed, ugly, and had a bad temper, yet he managed to find a girlfriend! He even found mistresses! He's married, and several women are supporting him and fighting over him! It's completely shattered my worldview."

Yin Chen immediately became interested: "What are you talking about?"

"Let me tell you... balabala..."

Pao Ge and Gai Ge huddled together, arms around each other's shoulders, whispering and talking animatedly about how they became famous on Tieba.

Long Xun walked over to Wu Zhou's side and joined him in watching the players who were standing there in a daze.

Even though they can communicate with others, in this imperfect little world, these players and NPCs are like robots, without expressions or movements, and their voices are unchanging.

Wu Zhou voluntarily stayed, choosing to live there forever, accompanying his master. But Tang Qi no longer seems to need his company.

Long Xun remembered that when he opened his eyes in the water, he saw Wu Zhou standing alone on a tree branch on the small island in the center of Yingyue Lake, just like when he played the game before.

It could even be said that Wu Zhou appeared even more lonely than he had been then.

After all, back then, Wu Zhou still had his disciples, such as Yi Shan Ban Jiu, Nan Ke Yi Meng, and Xiu Xiu from the Third Team, who would often play and joke around with him.

And now...

Long Xun suddenly spoke up: "Do you regret it?"

Wu Zhou did not reply.

The silent Poison Master turned his face, his deep purple eyes profound and serene, a color revealed by the maturity and sedimentation bestowed upon him by the years.

Even knowing that his disciple Long Xun had an unusual identity, Wu Zhou's attitude did not change when they met again.

In some things, he seems never to change.

Wu Zhou did not answer, but Long Xun already understood.

However, Long Xun had already realized how painful it was to wait in vain, and he did not want to see someone as rare, pure, and innocent as Wu Zhou continue like this.

So, unusually, he asked again, "Are you going to keep doing this?"

Wu Zhou said calmly, "Master likes women."

Long Xun silently turned his head and looked at him with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Wu Zhou met his gaze, her cold expression softening momentarily, a faint smile flashing across her face as she simply said, "It's alright. It's just a game."

Long Xun reminded him, "For you, this is reality."
