What will Qi Huaijin do after Gu Qingqiu leaves?
In fact, she had thought about this question many times, not just in this world, but also in the previous worlds. But this time she had to think it through carefully, because she had to consider the consequences before choosing how to leave, and... this time she had to reach the maximum experience bar without getting married!
The sudden increase in difficulty caused Gu Qingqiu to frown, which was quickly noticed by Qi Huaijin.
Qi Huaijin asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..." Gu Qingqiu said slumped down, "I was just thinking about how to finish what I was supposed to finish."
Qi Huaijin pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, I will think about how to best organize our wedding."
"A wedding?" Gu Qingqiu was startled. "You're planning to marry me?"
"Of course." Qi Huaijin gently held Gu Qingqiu's hand. "Since I've made up my mind to be with you, I want to give you the sense of ceremony and security you deserve. Don't you want to marry me?"
“I think…” Gu Qingqiu answered subconsciously.
"Okay." Qi Huaijin lifted Gu Qingqiu's hand and kissed it. "Leave it to me. I will give you a wedding that will satisfy you."
Gu Qingqiu: ...No, how did things suddenly develop like this?
But seeing the joy on Qi Huaijin's usually expressionless face, Gu Qingqiu couldn't bring herself to say anything discouraging.
She was the one who initially pestered Qi Huaijin to agree to a posthumous marriage with him. If she suddenly changes her mind, Qi Huaijin's experience bar will be even less full!
That night, when Qi Huaijin was half asleep, he felt a pair of cool hands slip into his clothes.
"Stop messing around..." Qi Huaijin closed his eyes and grabbed the restless hand, but little did he expect the other hand to go even further, reaching directly into his pants and then grasping his...
Qi Huaijin jolted awake, his sleepiness vanishing. He asked Gu Qingqiu, who was already tucked under the covers, in shock, "What are you doing?"
Gu Qingqiu continued what she was doing, and looked up innocently when she heard this, "You go to sleep, I'll play by myself for a while."
"What are you planning to do?" Qi Huaijin couldn't help but gasp for breath. He wouldn't be a man if he could fall asleep in this situation!
Gu Qingqiu simply continued playing with it with one hand while slowly unbuttoning her pajamas with the other, looking at Qi Huaijin with a dreamy and seductive gaze.
Qi Huaijin naturally discovered that Gu Qingqiu was only wearing pajamas.
"You...you come out..." Qi Huaijin's face turned red; he had never experienced anything so thrilling in his life.
"You clearly like it a lot," Gu Qingqiu said seductively in a sweet voice. "Master Qi, would you like it?"
Qi Huaijin closed his eyes with difficulty, and then, taking advantage of Gu Qingqiu's lack of vigilance, stuck a talisman on her body.
Gu Qingqiu suddenly felt her body stiffen and she was completely unable to move.
A...immobilization charm?
Qi Huaijin got out of bed, panting heavily, and said earnestly, "It's not the right time yet. I'll grant you whatever you want later."
Then Gu Qingqiu saw Qi Huaijin enter the bathroom, followed by the sound of running water.
About an hour later, Qi Huaijin emerged from the bathroom, feeling a chill.
Gu Qingqiu stared wide-eyed, looking at Qi Huaijin with an expression of unrequited death. Qi Huaijin couldn't stand the gaze either, so he simply used his palm to physically close Gu Qingqiu's eyes, then carried the still stiff Gu Qingqiu into the quilt and announced, "Go to sleep."
Feeling the steady breathing beside her again, Gu Qingqiu felt a mix of emotions. Qi Huaijin must be the legendary male virtue class monitor! This was the first time she had seen someone with such strong self-control, and she was utterly impressed.
Hearing the male protagonist's system notification that his experience bar had increased to 99.1%, Gu Qingqiu couldn't muster any joy.
In the following days, Gu Qingqiu tried all sorts of methods and tricks, but she failed to seduce Qi Huaijin. She was even seriously warned by Qi Huaijin, "Don't do this again, or I'll pack you up and send you back to the underworld."
Although these words were mostly meant to scare her, they did calm Gu Qingqiu's mind considerably.
Qi Huaijin took Gu Qingqiu's eagerness as a longing for the wedding, and prepared even more diligently. He even researched many customs of ghost marriages and planned to hold a wedding in both the mortal world and the underworld.
Gu Qingqiu, on the contrary, started to make excuses and was not very enthusiastic about choosing wedding clothes. Qi Huaijin naturally noticed this and decided to have a good talk with Gu Qingqiu.
"Don't you want to marry me anymore?" After hesitating for a long time, Qi Huaijin decided to ask the question directly, even though just thinking about Gu Qingqiu not wanting to marry him made him feel suffocated.
"No, I was thinking of that." Gu Qingqiu leaned against Qi Huaijin's chest, but her eyes were fixed on the trees and birds outside the window.
"So what's been wrong with you lately?" Qi Huaijin probed. "Is it because I don't want to do it with you?"
Speaking of this, Gu Qingqiu became aggrieved, "Yeah, so why are you unwilling? Anyway, you're planning to marry me, and you're not unresponsive!"
"Didn't I say? These are the rules of our sect, and I should abide by them," Qi Huaijin explained patiently.
“But it’s against the rules for you to marry a female ghost! Why are you so hung up on these trivial details!” Gu Qingqiu retorted.
Qi Huaijin remained silent for a long time before saying, "It's probably because I broke the rules that I feel so guilty and ashamed. I've always been an outstanding person in other people's eyes, and a good disciple who never makes mistakes in my master's eyes. But after meeting you, it's as if all my rationality has run away from home. Even if my master were still alive and didn't agree to me being with you to his face, I would kneel for three days and three nights to beg him to agree."
“Alright.” Gu Qingqiu knew that Qi Huaijin had his own principles and was prepared to respect his idea and find another way to max out the experience bar. However, she couldn’t help feeling a little regretful and accidentally blurted out her thoughts, “I’m just worried that if I accidentally lose my soul one day, I’ll feel very regretful if I haven’t slept with you before then.”
Qi Huaijin couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Seeing that Gu Qingqiu's expression didn't seem fake and her tone was quite serious, he quickly asked, "Why do you say that? Are you hiding something from me?"
"Huh? No, no..." Gu Qingqiu didn't expect Qi Huaijin to be so perceptive, but she obviously hadn't thought of a reason to respond, so she could only make up an excuse.
After the conversation ended, the rift between the two seemed to have deepened.
