I like him
[Affection level increased by 7%]
Wow! Han Jiang exclaimed that he was truly a genius.
"Can you set a notification sound for affection level? I'll get a notification when affection level increases."
Sorry... this function is not currently in use by the system.
The system started stammering again.
It's probably unusable, and I don't know when this system will be fixed.
The next day, when Hanjiang opened the door, the first thing he saw was Hantian's dark face.
Han Tian received a message from Cang Jingqi that day, but because he was concerned about the affairs of the Four Continents Sect, he delayed coming to the Demon Realm to find Han Jiang until today.
The desolate Demon Palace had no festive atmosphere whatsoever; not even lanterns or couplets were hung up, making it no different from any other day.
"Celebrating the New Year? What New Year? This place doesn't look like it's the New Year at all! Cang Jingqi, is this how you're going to celebrate the New Year with my disciple?"
Cang Jingqi stood behind Han Tian, unusually refraining from refuting Han Tian's words, nodding repeatedly as if accepting Han Tian's criticism. He had probably already given Han Tian a dressing down before coming to find Han Jiang.
Han Tian pushed Han Jiang into the house, left Cang Jingqi outside, and set up a silencer to isolate the sounds inside and outside the room.
“Xiaoman, tell your master, did Cang Jingqi lie to you about something? You went to the desert with him before, and now you’re celebrating the New Year in the Demon Realm…” Han Tian didn’t want to believe that his longtime friend would do something out of line, but he couldn’t understand how Han Jiang could have so much to do with Cang Jingqi.
Han Jiang said, "No, Master, I came here on my own."
"What are you doing here? There's nothing here!" Han was so angry that he stammered, "Their family relationships are complicated, it's not like the princes are having a warm New Year!"
Han Jiang thought to herself, how could she and Cang Jing have any time alone together with Han Tian here? She had to get him away.
Without further ado, Han Jiang hardened her heart and said, "Master, I like Cang Jingqi, that's why I came with him..."
The second half of Han Jiang's sentence, about the machine, lacked confidence. She had never confessed her feelings or admitted to liking anyone in front of anyone. Her first awkward moment was actually with a character in a book.
She kept her head down, not daring to look at Han Tian's expression.
Her whole face was burning, and her hands were clasped together, rubbing against each other. She tried to focus her attention on her toes or on her skirt, but she found that she couldn't concentrate at all; her mind was a blur, and her heart was pounding.
I don't know if it's because of the confession or because of telling such a "huge lie".
Currently, Cang Jingqi is undoubtedly her target. Since she always has to pursue him and confess her feelings, she might as well just tell Han Tian directly. Perhaps Han Tian can help her out.
Han Tian doubted he had misheard, but seeing Han Jiang's expression, as if he wanted to bury his head in the ground, he had no choice but to believe Han Jiang's words.
He couldn't imagine his own expression, so he tried his best to calm himself down. Finally, he asked, "When?"
When? Han Tian's question stumped Han Jiangwen.
Too early won't work, as it doesn't align with the original owner's experiences; too late won't work either. It has to be before going to the desert.
"Yinzhou?" Han Jiang regretted saying it as soon as it left her mouth; her tone made it sound like she was asking Han Tian.
"Yinzhou?" Han Tian repeated, emphasizing his question.
Han Jiang said, "When we were in Yinzhou, there was something interesting in the illusion. Later, he came to rescue me at Leishan..."
That makes much more sense.
"I came to save you back then too!" Han Tian asked, puzzled. "What do you like about him? Xiao Man, Cang Jingqi isn't someone you should like. Don't you like Chi Jin?"
Oh, I forgot about the pure gold!
"I stopped liking him a long time ago... Master, why can't I like Cang Jingqi?" Han Jiang pinched herself hard, her eyes instantly turning red. She looked up at Han Tian with a wronged expression.
"Xiaoman, were you deceived by him? Tell your master what he said to you?" Hantian asked anxiously.
"He didn't say anything. It was me, it was me who liked him." Han Jiang was worried that if Han Tian got any more anxious, he would go out to confront Cang Jingqi. She couldn't tell Cang Jingqi directly now; it would be too sudden, and Cang Jingqi would definitely notice.
You need to show obvious affection for Cang Jingqi first, and then confess your feelings after building up her favorability.
In short, pursue him for a few days first, then confess your feelings to Cang Jingqi.
So, how will that smiling tiger react? He shouldn't kill her, right?
Han Tian was on the verge of exploding on the spot. He clenched his fists so tightly that the scabbard in his left hand seemed about to be deformed from his grip.
"I'll go ask him!" Han Tian turned to open the door, but Han Jiang blocked it in one swift step.
"Master, please..." Han Jiang said, "It's me who likes someone, but they don't like me. Why are you asking him?"
Han Tian's tone softened, and his voice choked up: "Xiao Man, there are many people in this world who will like you. There's no need to hang yourself on one tree."
This sentence sounds very familiar.
A scene suddenly flashed through Han Jiang's mind. In the scene, she was sitting on the floor of the study, with Han Tian squatting beside her, crying loudly and asking, "Master, why doesn't he like his disciple..."
Han Tian comforted her, saying there was no need to hang herself on one tree.
When was this? Han Jiang regained her senses and met Han Tian's pleading eyes.
She suddenly felt sorry for Han Tian and said, "Master, don't be sad. This is my own problem. I will find a way to solve it myself, okay?"
"No, I'll decide this for you," Han Tian said solemnly. "I'll ask you a question: do you truly like this, or is it just a passing fancy?"
"I don't know..." Who can say for sure? What if someone else suddenly appears and wants to become the Demon Lord? Although the system shows that the favorability rating has increased, it's probably Cang Jingqi.
To be fair, Wen Xu initially pursued Cang Jingmo. Who knows if this broken system will malfunction again someday and give Han Jiang a different target?
We can't change it again! One book is enough to conquer one character, really! That's how it's written in other novels. We can't just focus on her, can we? Who remembers that she was originally cannon fodder who was already dead?
“But Master, I really like him now, I really like him. Master, please don’t worry about this matter…” Han Jiang emphasized.
"No, I'll decide this matter myself. Since you like it, I'll find a way to help you."
Oh no! Han Tian, don't ruin things! Han Jiang quickly said, "Master, really, it's not necessary! I can manage on my own!"
Seeing that Han Tian remained unmoved, Han Jiang continued, "How can a master interfere when his disciple is chasing someone? Chasing someone is something you have to do yourself!"
"Don't you need Master's help?"
"don't want."
"Really don't want it?"
"Really, no!" Han Jiang said helplessly. "Master, you should go back to the Four Continents Sect and spend New Year's Eve with your junior sister! I had already told Cang Jingqi that we were going out to buy new clothes today!"
Han Tian still felt uneasy, so he handed Han Jiang a bag of money: "How about this, you try it yourself first. Here's the money, we won't spend his!"
"Thank you, Master."
“If he really refuses later, I will tie him up…” Han Tian said.
Han Jiang: "It's not that bad."
"How could it not be! You are my disciple, Han Tian. If I can't bind Chi Jin, can't I at least bind Cang Jingqi?"
Why are we talking about Crimson Gold again? It seems there are still gaps in my memory; I still have no clue about the Crimson Gold part of the Cold Descendant.
Han Jiang half-pushed and half-shoved Han Tian to the door, wanting him to leave quickly.
Little did anyone expect that Han Tian would punch Cang Jingqi as soon as he stepped out the door.
"Master!" Han Jiang stepped between the two. "Junior Sister is still waiting for you on Cold Mountain, isn't she? If you don't go back soon, you'll miss New Year's Eve."
"What did you two say?" Cang Jingqi didn't hide behind Han Jiang, but took two steps forward. The three of them looked at each other.
Han Jiang shook the money pouch in her hand: "It's nothing, my master told me not to spend your money on clothes."
"It's fine if you spend my money," Cang Jing chuckled. "Since you're his disciple, you're my disciple too..."
No sooner had Cang Jingqi finished speaking than Han Tian grabbed Cang Jingqi's shoulder and said, word by word, "She is not your disciple!"
"Han Tian, did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Han Jiang was worried that Han Tian was about to blurt it out, so she quickly said, "Master, you should hurry up and go! We still need to go out!"
Han Tian sensed the urging in Han Jiang's words, gave Han Jiang a deep look, and sighed: "Xiao Man, your teacher is leaving. Be careful, be careful, be careful to go to bed early."
I don't know what to remind Han Jiang to be careful about, or even just to be safe. With Cang Jingqi around, there won't be any life-threatening problems. In the end, Han Tian could only come up with "remember to go to bed early."
Little did they know, the biggest security problem was the presence of the crystal mirror. Unfortunately, Han Tian had never had any romantic experience and was completely unaware of this.
Seeing that Han Tian had left, Han Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, Han Xiaoman, let's go out—" Cang Jingqi turned his head, a sword grazed his face and hit his feet.
Han Tian's sword.
Generally speaking, a sword will embody a portion of the will of its wielder.
"Don't call her Xiaoman..." The sword hummed, and Han Tian's voice came through.
So they haven't gone far yet.
The sword was slowly pulled from the ground and flew back to Han Tian's side. Han Tian hovered steadily above the Demon Palace, looking down at the two people standing side by side.
"He took the wrong medicine," Han Jiang explained for Han Tian, pulling Cang Jingqi's arm as they walked out of the Demon Palace.
After confirming that Han Tianzhen had left, Cang Jingqi stopped and asked, "Han Xiaoman, what did you say to your master?"
"Didn't I just say that he doesn't want me to spend your money?"
Cang Jingqi leaned back, distancing himself from Han Jiang, and crossed his arms over his chest, exuding a strange sense of estrangement: "Do you think I believe you? Han Xiaoman, tell Han Tian that I lied to him?"
At this moment, it seems as if they have returned to their initial relationship: Cang Jingqi does not trust Han Jiang, and Han Jiang does not understand Cang Jingqi.
Beneath that gentle smile lay thoughts that no one could fathom.
"Cang Jingqi, you said you'd believe whatever I say." Han Jiang didn't follow up on Cang Jingqi's question, but instead retorted, meeting Cang Jingqi's eyes directly.
This is not the same as before.
Their relationship has long since ended.
We've known each other for at least six months, and now it's winter.
Cang Jingqi's forced smile vanished: "Alright, Han Xiaoman, then you'll pay for everything today?"
Han Jiang remained stern: "You doubt me, you need to apologize to me."
"I'm sorry." Cang Jingqi's apology was crisp and straightforward. "I shouldn't have doubted you."
"So you'll have to pay for everything we buy today."
"Didn't your master forbid you from spending my money?"
Han Jiang said, "It's my master's decision not to allow it, and it's your decision to make amends for your mistake. The two should be dealt with separately."
Having finally acquired some money, how could Han Jiang possibly spend it so easily? She still owed Cang Jingqi two thousand taels of gold!
