Chapter 271 The Obsessive Painter 1 Ling Chen took a deep breath, as if he had mustered the greatest courage of his life.
He stepped forward, walked up to Zi Xi, and took out a scroll tied with a red string from his wide sleeves.
Unfold the scroll, and you'll find neat handwriting, handwritten with a brush.
He raised his head and looked intently at Zi Xi.
This time, his voice was no longer weak or breathy, nor was it intermittent. Although it was still slightly softer than normal, it was clear and steady, carrying a solemn power.
"Xi Xi, Heaven and Earth bear witness, and three lifetimes serve as proof."
He spoke, reading aloud the words on the scroll, which were modeled after the marriage certificate in the game, but infused with heartfelt words.
“I am Gu Hong, and I am also Ling Chen.”
"In the past, I wandered the world alone, my heart as cold as ice, with only my sword as my companion. Fortunately, the heavens took pity on me and gave me the light of dawn."
Your words are like a warm spring breaking through my ice, and your smile is like the morning sun melting my snow.
"Whether online or offline, you have shown me the warmth of companionship, made me understand the desire to confide, and enabled me to speak again."
He paused, his gaze deepening, a barely perceptible sob in his voice, but he persisted, each word crystal clear.
"In the virtual world, I will protect you with my sword; in the real world, I will give everything to grant you a lifetime of joy and peace."
"Xi Xi, will you marry Ling Chen and stay with him for life?"
He closed the scroll, looked reverently at Zi Xi whose eyes were glistening with tears, and uttered the most crucial sentence.
Looking at the dream world that had been built for her, Zi Xi felt her heart melt completely.
"Yes, I'm willing! Ling Chen, from now on, you won't be able to shake off this chatterbox, either online or offline!"
She nodded vigorously, answering with an incredibly loud voice.
The tension in Ling Chen's eyes instantly turned into ecstasy.
He stepped forward, carefully pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.
The rain of petals continued to fall, and the soft moonlight enveloped the two embracing figures. In the background, the melodious sound of the guqin seemed to be a true hymn to their love.
Ling Wei was so moved that she burst into tears, and Lin Le almost dropped his phone.
"...Okay. It's a deal. ...Forever...I won't bother you."
Ling Chen lowered his head and whispered in Zi Xi's ear in a voice that was still incredibly gentle despite having regained some of its breathiness.

[Host~ Congratulations on completing the previous world. Emotional detachment in progress...]
[You have won the undivided love of the male lead, Ling Chen, and are rewarded with 1000 points.]
[Fulfill the original owner's wish, reward 1000 points~]
"Wuhu is indeed a vacation destination, so relaxing, but I don't have many points to spend."
Zi Xi stretched and collapsed onto the sofa.
[Host, you're amazing! This is beyond my expectations! A typical casual little world only gives you tens to hundreds of points!]
The system's voice was excited.
"That's what they mean by practice makes perfect!"
Zi Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and exhaled softly.
[Host, your abilities are becoming increasingly powerful!]
Zi Xi lay on the sofa and relaxed, letting herself sink into it, feeling a long-lost sense of ease slowly seeping into her limbs and bones.
[Host, you're amazing! Every time you make a move, it's like you're using cheat codes. You can take care of things in no time, even without any special abilities!]
Being with you is so worry-free; your mind works faster than the speed of light...
This wasn't the first time the system had praised her, but it was the most exciting one yet.
"How many dishes did you eat? You're so drunk! Why are you being so enthusiastic today?"
"Oh right, I forgot, the basic system can't eat."
Zi Xi couldn't help but ask curiously, then teased in a tone of sudden realization.
【…Host, you've turned bad!!!】
