Tu Longjian's actions deeply moved Gan Xiuming. He held Tu Longjian's hand, his tenderness seemingly overflowing from his eyes.
He even choked up a little, "Thank you, Chunxiang."
“When I was frustrated, they all left me. I thought you would blame me for not saving you, but you were so kind to me.”
Tu Longjian playfully scolded, "How could I blame you? You are the one I love..."
But she thought to herself, there was still one sentence missing to prove that the two of them loved each other.
Tu Longjian's face, which had been filled with happiness and sweetness, suddenly changed, becoming somewhat aggrieved and resentful.
“Mine is Xiuming’s.”
"I'm just afraid Xiu Ming won't think much of me."
With unwavering affection, Gan Xiuming solemnly declared, "I will never let you down in this life."
"Then take it on the spot, lest something go wrong if you delay. I will protect you." Tu Longjian said shyly.
"Okay." Gan Xiuming was about to swallow the immortal herb.
[Gan Xiuming's conquest progress is 50%, not bad, we've reached the stage of exchanging feelings.]
The system's hurried voice rang in my mind.
Wait... what are you feeding the Chosen One?
"That's a poisonous plant! Stop, stop, stop!"
The system called out anxiously.
[Quickly save your lover! This is a terrible fate. If the chosen one of destiny collapses, the core of the Great World will...]
"What will happen? Kill you?" Tu Longjian thought to himself.
With lightning speed, Tu Longjian stuffed the [Heartbreak Grass] into Gan Xiuming's mouth. Seeing Gan Xiuming's puzzled look, she pointed to the door without changing her expression and mouthed, "Someone's here."
Gan Xiuming nodded knowingly. The Flame Dragon Qili melted in his mouth, and he felt full of power.
So he opened the door to find the eavesdropper, and unexpectedly bumped into Ye Yuchun, who was squatting in the corner listening to him. The scene was quite awkward.
Gan Xiuming's face was ashen, and he turned ruthless on the spot.
"So you approached me when I was at my lowest point for ulterior motives. I don't hit women, but considering you haven't made your move yet, leave here."
Ye Yuchun was dumbfounded and on the verge of tears as Gan Xiuming picked her up and took her away.
No... she just wanted to hear some gossip and have some fun, but it all fell through. Now the system is going to scold her to death.
That's right, she was a transmigrator who accidentally entered this male-oriented cultivation novel and was bound to the Green Tea System.
The "Green Tea System" wanted her to pursue the male lead, Gan Xiuming, in the book, which she was initially extremely unwilling to do.
Who likes a fickle and arrogant protagonist?
Forced by the system's tyranny, she had no choice but to sneak up on him like a dog, and finally managed to find an opportunity to comfort Gan Xiuming, who was in a slump, during the freshman trial.
Despite her clumsy, manipulative behavior that often drew harsh criticism from the system, she still managed to gain favorability.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the wife returned, she was kicked out of the house. Sigh.
Wait... Chunxiang, is there such a character in the novel?
It seems that things are unfolding differently from the novel, she thought vaguely.
Only the calm Tu Longjian and the irritable system remained in the room.
The Long Aotian Strategy System was getting a little frustrated. In just a short while, it discovered that the luck of the Chosen One had dropped significantly again, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned.
Tu Longjian curled his lips into a smile. "Judging from your excitement, you must have successfully administered the poison."
You knew it was poisonous, yet you still fed it to him?!
The system was shocked and earnestly said:
Do not oppose those chosen by fate; they are the darlings of Heaven. Surround yourself with them.
Tu Longjian crossed his arms and sneered, "I've already attached myself to them, living in their houses, wearing their clothes, using their things, and my success rate has even improved. What more do you want from me as a wife?"
Shouldn't a man with a beautiful wife offer her everything willingly?
The strategy has indeed improved. The system got stuck because of Tu Longjian's sophistry, so he had no choice but to say helplessly.
[I'll focus on the strategy guide from now on, and I'll check back often.]
Don't do anything rash. The core of the Great World will be watching you. Don't blame me if you don't get a warning.
"I understand, I'll figure it out." Tu Longjian clenched his fists and said impatiently.
"If we help him cure the poison later, won't our success rate increase again?"
That seems to make sense, and the system fell silent.
There's no way to cure the poison; it's just her deceiving the system.
Having finally encountered something that could control the chosen one of destiny, how could she possibly let it go?
We must firmly grasp the initiative in our own hands.
After a busy day, Tu Longjian finally fell asleep, exhausted.
----------------
The next day, as dawn was breaking.
"Hooray! I've broken through! I've broken through!"
When Gan Xiuming saw her, his eyes lit up and he ran over happily.
"Chunhyang, I've broken through!"
"Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Congratulations, Xiu Ming." Tu Longjian had a smile on his face that was hard to tell if he was genuine or not.
"You're so smart. After eating the immortal herb, you broke through from the initial Qi Refining Star Rank to the Foundation Establishment Moon Rank in one go."
Gan Xiuming was beaming with pride, as if he had rediscovered the spiritedness of a chosen one.
Only Tu Longjian knew that everything had changed.
Having drifted apart from his childhood sweetheart, lost favor with the elder's daughter, had his opportunities stolen, and lost his luck, Long Aotian's current prosperity is merely a facade.
I wonder what kind of expression he'll have when he discovers the truth.
Will the ups and downs of fate break his pride? I really want to know.
The two arrived at the open space at the mountain gate. Today was the day the rankings for the freshmen trial points were released.
"The results are about to be released, I'm so excited."
"Hey, you guys are the ones who are excited. I barely passed the 100 mark, so I'm out of luck with the front row rewards."
"Be content. As long as you pass, you can become an outer disciple. We're already in the outer disciple reserve. Those who didn't get enough points are the ones who are really in trouble."
The monks were discussing it enthusiastically.
"Look, the chief disciples are here!"
"Wow, the purple-clad woman at the head is none other than Jie Lei Zhenjun, the sect leader's first disciple. She has a lightning spiritual root; she's incredibly powerful."
"I heard she's a very kind person."
"That's Yan Hongran, the True Lord Yan. I've heard she has a nickname: Little Senior Sister Yama. Don't mess with her easily."
"Why is there another show-off covering his face with a fan?" a male cultivator asked, pointing at a man in pink.
"You don't know this, do you? He's not the chief disciple."
"I found out from a senior. That disciple comes from the strangest peak, and it's said he practices charm magic!"
The speaker had a mysterious expression, gleaming with gossip.
"Cough cough..." Jie Lei quickly interrupted.
I really wanted to remind these newbies that with the cultivation level of the chief disciple, their supposedly secret whispers had already been overheard.
They are truly ignorant and arrogant!
The group stood neatly in the center of the open space paved with jade slabs, looking expectantly up the steps.
The sect leader, Senior Sister Jie Lei, stood on the steps, looking at the chattering and energetic new students, and announced with a smile:
"Congratulations to all junior sisters and brothers on successfully passing the freshman trial."
"Our freshman trial has a passing score of 100. Don't be discouraged if you don't pass. Hard work pays off."
"Next, we will announce the list of qualified candidates. Each qualified candidate will be rewarded with a bottle of Qi Refining Pill."
