Chapter 15 Common Route (15) "Stay with me in the Scaled Abyss Realm for a day..."
[Danfeng: I've come to pick you up.]
After kissing Yingxing affectionately and seeing him off, Danfeng sent a message.
He was probably the least secretive of the three, yet he was also very tactful, always managing to make He Yuan happy.
Crane Kite replied: You can come now.
However, I have absolutely no idea what to do on my date with Danfeng.
After all, in the initial plan, there was only Ying Xing.
Feeling guilty, He Yuan sent another message.
[Crane Kite: But I don't know what to do TvT]
[Danfeng: Leave it to me.]
Good, very strong drive.
Since Danfeng had said so, Heyuan felt at ease staying at home waiting for someone to come.
After sitting on the sofa for five minutes, he got up anxiously and went into the kitchen.
Damn it! I can't possibly feel at ease about it!
After scavenging the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator, He Yuan baked a batch of egg tarts.
Pipe a ring of whipped cream around the top, then garnish with the remaining fruit to make it look like it could be priced at twenty yuan each.
Although Danfeng is later in the order and hasn't been considered yet, but—
It's still a "one-day date" after all.
Who goes on a date without preparing anything?
Even if you don't prepare anything, you should at least show some consideration.
Yesterday, Yingxing was practically forced into this situation, so it's understandable that he wasn't prepared. But when Yingxing came to pick him up this morning, he brought flowers, cooked lunch, and even helped him clean his house.
...I also paid a large sum of money for his water and electricity bills, and bought enough food for the next two weeks.
It cost a lot of money.
He Yuan said no need. He still had plenty of leftover food from his cooking practice in his bag, so he wasn't worried about going hungry.
But Yingxing insisted on buying it, and even said he would give him a big surprise in a few days.
I feel like my image in Ying Xing's eyes has become strange.
He Yuan sighed, put the egg tarts into a box, picked out two and put them in the refrigerator, took a picture and sent it to Jing Yuan.
[Heyuan: I made egg tarts as a thank you gift for the free meals I'll be enjoying from now on~]
Jing Yuan hasn't replied yet; he's probably been pulled away for training or other business.
It's alright, just put it in the usual place, Jingyuan knows that.
Yu Zhao jumped out of the message sent by Dan Feng, and He Yuan picked up the box and walked to Long Zun.
He held up the egg tarts he had made and handed them to Danfeng, saying, "Brother Danfeng, I was in a bit of a rush, so I only made this one for now."
Danfeng doesn't like things too sweet, so he specially reduced the sugar content.
He Yuan felt a headache coming on when she thought about the eating habits of these people.
“It looks delicious,” Danfeng said, taking the bag and adding, “I really like it.”
Stop being so quiet! Yuan Yuan even made you desserts herself, and you don't even say anything more!
'Shut up. '
Danfeng remained calm as he led Heyuan into the Star Chariot.
"Can you stay with me in Lin Yuan Realm for a day?"
Although it was a question, his hand was already gripping the young man's wrist, and his tone was unquestionable.
"It won't be boring."
Before He Yuan could say anything, Dan Feng made another promise.
"This is the date I promised Danfeng. I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want," Heyuan said.
In fact, as long as I have Danfeng's face, I'll go anywhere. Besides, Danfeng has always had a good reputation; I've never been bored when I go out with him before.
[Yuan Yuan likes...]
I said shut up.
Danfeng frowned slightly and lowered his voice, "I've already sent the Dragon Master away. Do you want to go and take a look at the forbidden area?"
He Yuan opened her mouth and leaned closer, "Will this cause trouble for Brother Danfeng?"
He felt a little guilty saying it out loud. It seemed he had caused Danfeng quite a bit of trouble.
From fishing in the Scale Abyss Realm to beating up a Dragon Master... Danfeng handled all the aftermath for him.
"Trouble...? Hmph, nothing to worry about."
Danfeng spoke with an indifferent yet extremely confident tone.
—The adjective comes from Crane and Kite.
“I’ll help Danfeng too,” Heyuan squeezed his hand back. “Who’s been causing trouble this time? Should I go and beat them up?”
Danfeng sometimes can't fight because of her status, but Heyuan doesn't have this problem.
When he first met Danfeng, he was a minor in Luofu, and with Jingyuan, who had become a Cloud Cavalryman, protecting him, he could go home after beating up the Dragon Master and receiving some ideological education at the Earth Balance Division.
Now that he has even bigger backing, he's not afraid at all.
The two whispered to each other with their faces close together, a scene reminiscent of romance.
If only they weren't plotting how to beat someone up.
[Danfeng, why don't you say something sweet?]
'Why are you saying sweet nothings? Can't you see he doesn't intend to pursue a relationship with me?'
After returning home yesterday, Danfeng felt that something was amiss.
After seeing He Yuan's WeChat Moments today, my suspicions have finally been confirmed.
Everything yesterday was because He Yuan made this plate of vinegar-filled dumplings for Ying Xing, and he won this day through despicable means.
Danfeng lowered his eyes and looked at their clasped hands.
No problem, the advantage of immortal beings lies in time.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; it will eventually be his turn.
[You bastard—]
These are things you have to fight for! If you don't fight for them, what's the point of even talking about it?
'Strive for it? You need an opportunity first.'
The maple leaves are dried in the sun.
He Yuan was determined to be with Ying Xing and would not allow anyone else to interfere.
If he tries to win it now, he'll only cause unnecessary resentment.
【How come you're getting more and more feudal? Back then, we took turns serving them. Whoever did the best got more, or Yuan Yuan could choose whoever she liked.】
'……'
'Keep quiet.'
"Brother Danfeng?" He Yuan looked over with concern.
He felt that Danfeng seemed to be in a bad mood, as if he had lost an argument.
"It's those dragon masters..." Are they making things difficult for you again?
No, how could Master Long do anything to Brother Danfeng? He must have done something wrong to anger Brother Danfeng.
Danfeng slowed his breathing. "It's nothing."
He Yuan sensed that Dan Feng wasn't "unaffected," but unable to find the cause, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts for the time being.
Let's observe it again in a while.
The Star Chariot flew all the way to the vicinity of the Pill Cauldron Division, then crossed the Wave Moon Ancient Sea, and arrived at the Scale Abyss Realm.
He Yuan drew the bamboo curtain and looked out the window.
No matter how many times he comes, he is always amazed by the vastness of this sea.
"Brother Danfeng, can you take me down to have a look?" He Yuan looked at Long Zun expectantly.
Danfeng couldn't stand his bright, star-like eyes, so she slightly shifted her gaze. "There's a ritual tonight. I'll take you down after it's over."
"Sacrifice?" In He Yuan's memory, sacrifices were all the traditional activities during the New Year.
However, those belong to the Immortal Boat people; it is likely that the Ming Clan has its own unique sacrificial activities.
"May I go and take a look?" Crane Kite asked again.
After asking, He Yuan felt it was inappropriate, so she said, "Or you can tell me where it's held and what the taboos are, and I'll sneak over to see it and blame it on the Dragon Master."
He's such an understanding player!
Danfeng curled her lips and shook her head, "You are my guest, of course you can come."
No one could defy his decision.
[Didn't you say you weren't going to fight for it? Why are you planning to splash screen it now?]
'It just happened to be scheduled for today.'
[Just right? I don't believe it.]
'……'
He Yuan had never seen a [priest] of the Chiming Clan. He searched the forums but no one had managed to conquer the Dragon Lord or even witness the priest's ceremony.
So... he was the first one to see it?
So cool! He's amazing!!!
The NPCs in this game are highly randomized; everyone encounters different ones, but their appearance is guaranteed to be good.
However, even the Dragon Lord is difficult to conquer, and He Yuan's is no exception.
Danfeng is strange; he has two levels of favorability, and this is how it manifests—
[Danfeng's affection level towards you: -100 (999+)]
He Yuan has never seen an NPC with a negative favorability rating at the start, nor has she ever seen a favorability rating of [999+].
Based on his appearance alone, he usually starts at [30], and this is the first time I've seen a negative number.
In short—
Dragon Lord, you have successfully caught my attention.
However, at that time, He Yuan was mainly focused on improving his attributes, so after exploring all the maps that Lin Yuan could enter, he left gracefully and never came back.
When he went to increase his favorability with Danfeng, he found that the favorability had changed to—
[Danfeng's affection level towards you: 100 (999+)]
Hmm? What did he do?
He Yuan pondered what she had done.
It seems like it was all for the sake of earning points, like fishing in the Scale Abyss Realm for 1000 consecutive days, and then defeating a few Dragon Masters who looked like rotten oranges and sending them to undergo rebirth... or something like that.
The worst thing they did was steal some [Jianmu] upgrade skills with a few sneaky dragon masters and then shift the blame.
After that, there was no more chance to enter the forbidden area.
How did Danfeng increase her favorability...?
He Yuan opened his resume.
[Age: 18: Encountered a crane-like creature exploring the Scaled Abyss Realm and developed a fondness for it.]
Then why is the favorability rating negative?
[■■■ years old: Upon learning that He Yuan is ■■, I felt depressed.]
■■What is it?! Crane Kite tapped repeatedly, the screen loaded for a moment, and then a message popped up:
Damn it, you know too much!
Crane Kite: ...
Crane Kite: I don't know anything yet!
He quickly retrieved the questionnaire and filed a complaint.
A reply was later received: [The obscured information relates to the player's subsequent choices; it will be revealed after the choices are made.]
[■■■ years old: Upon seeing He Yuan again, she was ignored by him, which increased her affection for him.]
Crane Kite: ? ? ?
Outrageous!
The following string of text was all like this, interspersed with phrases like, "[Seeing the Dragon Master suffer misfortune increased my affection for He Yuan.]" and "[The problem with Jianmu was exposed, and several Dragon Masters were punished, which increased my affection for He Yuan.]".
Crane and Kite were in a daze.
[■■■ years old: It's been ten days since He Yuan came to Lin Yuan Realm. I miss him a little.]
In short, did Danfeng succeed in winning over Danfeng?
He Yuan couldn't understand it, but she accepted it gladly.
After all, in this game world, players are easily liked.
Even if she rejects the players' love, it's only because of her own inferiority complex.
However, he chose to forgive Ying Xing.
These are all characters he likes, so he's more forgiving.
He Yuan nodded emphatically, "Brother Danfeng, then tell me quickly what I should pay attention to!"
He listened while adjusting the system camera, striving to record and preserve the footage from all angles!
Danfeng is good-looking, so the scenery must be absolutely stunning!
"Don't worry about these things, just watch quietly."
The sacrificial ceremony only requires the Dragon Lord; no Dragon Master will be present.
Crane Kite was the only audience member.
A note from the author:
----------------------
The foolish author couldn't find Danfeng's exact age, so he simply used a slash (■) instead.
After writing it, I realized there were quite a few ■.
Danfeng's side has a bit of an "immortal" storyline, so it shouldn't be that much of a riddle.
Yuan Yuan's mindset will influence his choices; for now, it's still a pure love story.
I saw some babies expressing concern about A-Yuan's current situation...
Don't worry, everyone. The author, a true fan of the story, guarantees that A-Yuan is given a lighthearted, enjoyable script, and in the game, she'll only suffer a few defeats and won't experience any real hardship. [kissing emojis]
