Chapter 240
Feng Jing stared at the blond, blue-eyed Landric on the screen, a smile playing on his lips.
"No matter what, Awu can only choose me."
He was despicable and shameless, but he had no other choice.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Bei. Just this once. I'll let you down this time. From now on, whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
"Just let my brother off this time," he muttered to himself.
Feng Jing left with his head down, but as soon as he opened his private studio, he saw a young man standing in front of the glass window with an indifferent expression.
The boy raised his dark eyes to meet his gaze.
Feng Jing guiltily looked away, but quickly regained his composure and frowned as he asked, "Why is Xiao Bei here?"
Feng Xiaobei stared intently at him with her dark eyes and walked towards him.
"Xiao Bei." Feng Jing called out as he watched Feng Xiao Bei's footsteps getting closer and closer.
Feng Xiaobei raised her hand, and Feng Jing took a step back.
But Feng Xiaobei just smiled and patted Feng Jing on the shoulder, saying, "Brother, take care of yourself and don't get too addicted to games."
After saying that, Feng Xiaobei turned and left.
Feng Jing remained where he was, but before he could even relax for a moment, his heart, which had just settled, was gripped by anxiety once more.
The more normal Xiao Bei looks, the more abnormal she is.
But he knew that Xiao Bei wouldn't hurt him.
After leaving, Feng Xiaobei returned to the lab and tapped lightly on the mainframe with his fingers.
He glanced at the date, then looked at the enormous number he had calculated, and then turned his head to look at the android with a slow, gentle smile.
“Awu, wait for your brother for three more days. After three days, your brother will bring you to this real world.”
He looked away, observing the perspectives of the players on the mainframe, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
"In that case, then none of you should come out."
——
In the game, Lingwu sits on a swing woven from flower vines.
With a slight movement of her fingertips, a strange-looking creature appeared before her.
If you move your fingertip again, the creature will disappear.
Behind her, Wen Xing, because the players always appeared unexpectedly, became extremely indifferent over time.
He gripped his longsword tightly, and just as a rosebud bloomed on the vines behind him, he swung his sword down.
"Wen Xing, you're too nervous." Ling Wu frowned and bent down to pick up the rose.
Wen Xing didn't explain that he was worried it was a player, but simply took a step back, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your Highness, it was my fault."
The castle guards all turned their gazes toward the scene, some puzzled, some envious, and some even harboring ambitions for the knighthood.
Until a castle guard knelt down and firmly said to Ling Wu, "Your Highness, I wish to challenge Lord Wen Xing!"
Lingwu glanced at him.
The girl's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, and a blush rose to his ears.
“Wen Xing.” Ling Wu turned to look at Wen Xing.
The young man responded with a cool yet gentle tone: "Your Highness."
"Are you willing to accept his challenge?" Ling Wu asked.
Wen Xing did not respond immediately. He looked up at Ling Wu, feeling a strange pang of sadness in his heart.
She would ask him if he was willing, but she would also let them send him challenges.
"Wen Xing is willing to fight for Your Highness and for honor!"
The dueling platform was erected with a slight flick of Ling Wu's fingertips, and the two of them stepped onto the platform without any suspicion.
A new player whispered, "Is there a bug? How come the princess can use magic?"
An experienced player who had been there long ago gave him a sidelong glance. "Dragons are just for pulling carts, so what's wrong with a princess having some magic? Besides, it's normal for a princess to have magic, okay?"
"Is...is this normal?" the new player asked hesitantly.
When the veteran player met Ling Wu's gaze, he slowly lowered his head, his face flushing slightly. "It's perfectly normal for a princess to know anything."
The new player's lips twitched, then he looked up and met Ling Wu's gaze. He lowered his head, coughed softly, and replied to the veteran player with a slight blush: "I think you're right!"
Ling Wu didn't watch the match closely because people kept coming up to her and talking to her.
"Your Highness, your black tea and small cakes," the boy in a maid's dress called out shyly.
After Ling Wu nodded, he lingered, reluctant to leave.
Seeing this, Lingwu handed him the rose that Wen Xing had cut down.
The maid's eyes lit up instantly. He took it with both hands, his ears turning red as he stepped back.
Unbeknownst to him, countless eyes were lingering on him, and even Wen Xing on the stage was distracted, trying to memorize his face.
Unfortunately, the maid had just left the bustling crowd when he was killed in an instant, before he could even see the person's face clearly!
As he disappeared, the rose in his hand remained suspended in mid-air until the blue-haired youth raised his hand, at which point the rose slowly fell into his palm.
Her long, snow-white eyelashes fluttered, as if she were somewhat aggrieved.
"The little princess is too kind; this isn't good," he said softly, then strode over to Ling Wu's side.
Lingwu was not surprised to see the rose in his hand.
"Your Highness, here is your rose." He held out his hand and offered it to Ling Wu.
At the same time, a gasp of surprise rang out from the surrounding area.
Ling Wu looked towards the dueling platform.
Wen Xing won, but the other player did not disappear. Instead, he was curled up on the ground in pain, covered in blood and looking like a blood-soaked person.
The dark knight's uniform worn by the standing boy was not stained with a single drop of blood.
His smile was arrogant and cold as he glanced around. "Anyone who's not convinced can come up on stage and have a match with me."
After saying that, he ended the life of the player who was curled up on the ground, wailing in agony, with a single sword strike.
Seeing this, no more players stepped forward.
Wen Xingye jumped off the dueling platform, then looked at Ling Wu with a shy expression and said, "Your Highness, I won."
If he doesn't finish tormenting that provocative player before killing him with one sword, he'll be facing a relentless battle today.
Ling Wu took the rose that Lan Si had been holding, twirled it between her fingers for a moment, and then handed it to Wen Xing.
"My knight is indeed the best of all the guards."
Wen Xing accepted the rose, her eyes filled with joy.
The meaning of this rose now goes beyond just a single rose; it represents the princess's highest praise for her one and only knight!
"Wen Xing became excellent because of you," he said softly, his voice full of tenderness.
The joys and sorrows of the world are not shared by all.
In stark contrast to Wen Xing's delight, Lan Si's hand, which had been holding the rose, froze in mid-air, his long, snow-white eyelashes concealing the darkness in his eyes.
He casually agreed, "Your Highness's knights are indeed the best."
"Does the teacher want to compete with Wen Xing?" Ling Wu asked.
Wen Xing's joy lasted only half a minute, and he interpreted those words as His Highness's attempt to toughen him up.
This is for his own good!
Lan Si shook his head. "Your Excellency the Knight looks somewhat tired. If I were to win, it would be an unfair victory."
"Lan Si, are you so sure you'll win?" Wen Xing scoffed.
Ling Wu picked up her black tea and said sternly, "Wen Xing, you must not be disrespectful to your teacher."
Suppressing her grievances, Wen Xing replied sullenly, "Yes."
Lan Si smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'm fine. Sir Knight is probably just a straightforward person."
The players who were originally secretly watching, hoping to record the famous scene of the two big shots fighting, were instead forced to watch the two of them vying for attention like children.
But the two beauties are still pleasing to the eye.
Thinking of this, one by one they silently pulled up the system values, wanting to see how big the gap was between themselves and the experts, only to find—
Someone on the world channel said they can't log off!
