"Holy crap! We've gone too far!"
Qin Luo hadn't expected Dan Bingli to be so thin-skinned; her simple teasing had elicited such a strong reaction. He quickly dodged to the side, feeling a bit helpless.
"Miss Dan, you misunderstand. I just felt that the fragrance of winter plum blossoms on this bedding was too strong, unlike usual. I had no other improper thoughts."
However, Dan Bingli was already furious and wouldn't listen to his explanation. She even took out the Frost Star Shattering Sword.
Seeing that things were going badly, Qin Luo quickly stopped smiling and secretly groaned in his heart, realizing that this misunderstanding would be difficult to clear up in the short term.
"Ahem, Miss Dan, I came here because I was really worried when you suddenly disappeared. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I will not bother you any longer."
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he slipped out of the room as quickly as he could without waiting for Dan Bingli's response. He knew that Dan Bingli was angry at the moment, and there was no point in saying anything more; it was best to avoid her for now.
He breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the room.
"This girl is really easily teased. She couldn't hold back and wanted to fight after just a few words of banter. It seems that her temperament needs to be guided and nurtured in the future."
Muttering to himself, he swayed his head as he walked towards Murong Liyue's room, pondering his next plan.
Inside the room, Dan Bingli stared at the tightly closed door, her chest still heaving violently, but a hint of annoyance gradually appeared on her face.
She clearly realized that her actions might have been a bit too much, but the mix of shame, anger, and panic made her unable to hold back for a moment.
She slowly sat back on the bed, hugging her knees, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She didn't understand why she reacted so strongly to Qin Luo's words. Was it simply because he mentioned the scent of winter plum blossoms on the bedding? Or was it that, deep down, she didn't want Qin Luo to tease her about the strange feelings she harbored?
"If I had known that all he was longing for was the alluring fragrance of his Daoist partner, why would I have gone to all this trouble!"
A low, plaintive murmur echoed in the silent room. At that moment, a strange sense of grievance welled up in Dan Bingli's heart.
His gaze fell on the bedding, which had been ravaged and disheveled by her previous emotional turmoil. He reached out and gently stroked the crumpled brocade quilt. The fragrance of winter plum blossoms wafted faintly from where his fingertips touched.
She slowly lay down on the messy bed, turned to her side, and buried her face in the pile of rumpled blankets. The fragrance of winter plum blossoms grew stronger and stronger, but it could not soothe her chaotic and confused mind.
While Dan Bingli was filled with mixed emotions, in the other room, Qin Luo stared silently at the system panel in front of him.
Name: Qin Luo
[Realm: Mid-stage Spirit Control Realm]
[Constitution: Ethereal Holy Body]
[Technique: The Ultimate Unity of All Things]
[Number of Investing Opportunities: 2]
[Gift by Chance: None]
[Number of simulations: 1 (refreshes every 24 hours, can be stored, current number of stored simulations: 105) (Note: The longer the interval between simulations, the higher the quality and quantity of rewards obtained))]
[None women suitable for investment]
"Should the 105 simulation points be evenly distributed or focused on one?"
"Let's test the waters first."
Having made up his mind, Qin Luo no longer hesitated and used the stored attempts on his emotional intelligence, adding only eight points.
a) 50 points of emotional intelligence (beginning to understand romance); b) 4 points of appearance (average appearance); c) 24 points of skills (starting to grasp the basics); d) 18 points of luck (the goddess of fortune often casts a glance your way)
"Just as I thought, fifty points of emotional intelligence are needed to reach the standard for the next stage. There are still ninety-seven points left. It seems I need to allocate them properly."
With a thought, I started simulating the distribution of points again:
a) 50 points of emotional intelligence (beginning to understand romance); b) 4 points of appearance (average appearance); c) 24 points of skills (starting to grasp the basics); d) 50 points of luck (fortune is on your side)
"Let's leave it at that for now, and we'll use the remaining sixty-five points as things unfold..."
Qin Luo nodded and began the simulated doubling of the bet.
[Simulation points successfully used, doubling in progress. Based on Dan Bingli's affection level for you: 21; this return will be randomly selected between 22 and 110 times.]
[Attribute points multiplier: 40; Random selection result: Emotional Intelligence: 2000 (Riding the Waves of Love)]
[Start Simulation?: Yes/No]
"Um... Riding the waves of love? Could it be describing a 'sea king'—someone who freely roams the seas of emotions, steering and controlling many people who are detached from worldly feelings?"
"That does fit the dating simulation."
Qin Luo gave a curt comment and then began the simulation:
[Simulated information entry in progress, simulated female character: Dan Bingli.]
On the first day, when you looked for Dan Bingli again, you found she was no longer in your room. Wondering where she had gone, you found her gracefully sitting in the first-floor hall, cultivating. You immediately realized that your words from the previous day had provoked her; given her pride, she was clearly throwing a tantrum.
Seeing this, you slowly approached, trying to break the deadlock, and softly called to her, but she seemed not to hear you, only continuing to circulate her spiritual energy, her aura growing increasingly cold.
When you approach her, you sense that she isn't as calm as she appears; her somewhat disordered breathing betrays a hint of panic.
Seeing this, your eyes lit up, and without the slightest hesitation, you took her hand.
[Dan Bingli was taken aback by your sudden action and glared angrily. However, you looked directly into her eyes and poured out your heart.]
[Under your firm stance, the ambiguous relationship between you two was finally broken. Dan Bingli turned her head away in grief and indignation, spitting and cursing at you angrily.]
You simply smiled, knowing that from this moment on, your relationship had entered a new phase.
Ten days later, during those ten days, you used countless sweet words to gradually paint a unique color onto the blank canvas of Dan Bingli.
Under your meticulous care, Dan Bingli gradually revealed a different kind of charm. However, a lingering gloom seemed to lurk deep within her eyes; her hesitant expression, filled with unspoken concerns, made her waver and hesitate, unwilling to cross that line.
But eventually, under your relentless pursuit of tenderness, she gradually lowered her guard.
She begins to cherish the time spent with you, and when she is tired from her cultivation, she becomes accustomed to lying lazily in your arms, silently breathing in your scent. And when she gazes at the bright moon, longing for her hometown, you will gently hold her in your arms, offering comfort.
Finally, on a starlit night, as she looked at your hesitant expression, she trembled and took your hand, her eyes filled with shyness, and opened her heart to you completely...
