"Further up, the ultimate of 'Great Perfection', 'Body of the Shortest Path'... The Abyss has been invaded for two hundred years, and only 'Sword Immortal' Yunsheng remains!"
"And you, Li Wei," Jiang Xinyue stared at her with scorching eyes, "are you only eighteen years old, yet you're one of only two people in China in the past two hundred years who possess the 'Shortcut Body'... Are you really willing to die for a complete stranger now?"
Li Wei: ???
She subconsciously glanced at her attribute panel - [Health: 100 (not upgradeable)]
Then, she glanced at Jiang Xinyue, who had a complicated expression in her eyes.
Then, he glanced at the panel silently.
Li Wei then realized, "Oh~ So she thought my HP was only 99! Isn't that a bit narrow-minded? My HP is 99+1..."
[However, this cheap grandma is quite nice. Is she cherishing my talent and wants to protect me?]
To be honest, Li Wei did have a momentary heartbeat when Jiang Xinyue proposed to "break the engagement"...
After hearing about the grievances and disputes between the Gu and Zhang families, I witnessed the sixth-level abyss monster with my own eyes this morning.
She increasingly felt that going to the front-line battlefield to "hang out and fish" was probably not as easy and pleasant as she had initially imagined.
But, when we are alive, there are many things that cannot be solved by just calculating the gains and losses.
Facing Jiang Xinyue's gaze, Li Wei chuckled, revealing two rows of small white teeth: "I promised Aunt Liang, I can't go back on my word. Besides, my brother's life is still waiting for her to save it."
Jiang Xinyue pressed on, refusing to give up: "I can go find Liang Qiushi and get your brother back. I'll personally treat him and make sure he's safe and sound."
"I can officially recognize you as my goddaughter. From now on, the entire Jiang family will be your strongest backing. You can restore your original identity, whether it is Li or Jiang, it is entirely up to you."
"Everything I have learned in my life, including the complete 'Taiyin Jade Lotus Treasure Scroll' and 'Moon-Shaped Nine Swords', as well as the 'Four Seasons Sword Formation' left by my mother to suppress the Jiang family's luck, can be passed on to you without reservation!"
"'My dear granddaughter,'" Jiang Xinyue's tone was more alluring than ever before. "Think about it carefully, how about that?"
Li Wei's heart was pounding and her mouth was almost watering. [Damn it! You can't test your cadres like this!]
She pressed her chest hard and took several deep breaths before she managed to calm down.
If I didn't have a cheat code, I'd probably be saying, "You're such a good judge of character!" by now...
[Unfortunately... I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart.]
She raised her head, looked directly at Jiang Xinyue, gritted her teeth, and said with a pained look, "Grandma, I am very moved. But there is an old saying that goes, 'When you drink water, you should remember the well digger.' Don't you agree? When I was most desperate, it was Aunt Liang who helped me. If it weren't for her, my brother... I'm afraid he would have died long ago."
She swallowed hard, "So, I have to do what Aunt Liang asked me to do! If I can come back alive from the battlefield, I'll be your grandson... ahem... granddaughter!"
After Jiang Xinyue heard her words, the expression on her face kept changing, from surprise to scrutiny to regret, and finally settled into deep approval.
She looked at Li Wei quietly for a long time, until Li Wei felt a little uncomfortable. Then she suddenly bent down, stretched out her hand, and gently patted Li Wei's slender shoulder, her voice filled with sighs:
"Good boy..."
Li Wei was stunned at first, then a light bulb went off in her head and she reacted suddenly.
[Goodness! You've been making such a fuss for so long, are you really testing my character?!]
