Ye Qingyun looked at the elongated shadow on the ground in front of her. The shadow of the Third Prince's lover was kicked to the ground and then stepped on by the Third Prince.
"Impressive, you've matched several of those characteristics." The Third Prince's voice sounded like he was gritting his teeth. "A withdrawn personality, taciturn, black hair and eyes, handsome appearance, powerful strength, and never having loved anyone. How many of these characteristics do you truly possess, and how many are just a facade?"
The third prince slapped him again and cursed, "You can't even beat an ordinary person with no reputation, yet you dare to impersonate someone!"
The Third Prince's lover said weakly, "I really... didn't impersonate anyone. It just happened to meet those conditions, which made you misunderstand. After we developed feelings for each other, I didn't want you to abandon me, so I secretly got a tattoo."
The Third Prince sneered, "What a coincidence! I sent people to interrogate him overnight and found that one of the envoys responsible for helping me find that person had been seduced by you and revealed this information to you."
The third prince's lover's lie was exposed, leaving him speechless for a moment.
The Third Prince did something to his lover, who screamed and collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.
The Third Prince sneered, "Trying to climb up to the riches and glory of my royal family? You should see if you have the ability!"
The prince's entourage worked diligently, digging a deep pit in no time. They buried the lovers in it and then covered it with soil again.
After doing all this, the Third Prince left with his men, and the commotion gradually subsided.
Once the surroundings quieted down again, Ye Qingyun, still shaken, breathed a sigh of relief and peered out to see where the incident had occurred.
"Don't look, it's dirty," Gu Chenyuan said, forcibly leading the person away.
Ye Qingyun was taken back to her room. She showed no other reaction on her face and used the excuse of continuing to observe the Love Stone to sit at the table and stare blankly into space.
What the Third Prince just said actually revealed a lot of information.
That legendary person was good-looking, strong, quiet, and had never been in a relationship.
This range seems large at first glance, but it's actually not that big, because it's different from Earth. Everyone here has different hair and eye colors, a wide variety of colors, and only a portion of people have black hair and black eyes.
In the original novel, the author even specifically pointed this out, praising Gu Chenyuan, with his black hair and black eyes, as noble, mysterious, and aloof from the world.
If you then select from these people with black hair and black eyes, the number of those who meet the criteria becomes even smaller.
And there just happened to be someone by his side who met all the criteria.
Ye Qingyun found this guess absurd. Who was Gu Chenyuan? He was the protagonist. If Gu Chenyuan had such a big secret, how could he, as a reader who had finished the whole book, not know it?
Impossible, impossible.
The system, silent for a long time, finally spoke up, weakly saying: "Host, I must remind you that reading the entire book won't reveal everything. Have you forgotten that this book had a poorly written ending, and the world began to self-correct its logical flaws, causing this world's development to differ from others?"
Ye Qingyun: [...]
System: [And there's one more condition you forgot to include—your tattoos also match.]
Ye Qingyun felt a throbbing pain in her head: "Okay, stop talking."
If Gu Chenyuan is that person, then the tattoo represents Gu Chenyuan's affection for him.
What is it about him that Gu Chenyuan would like? That doesn't seem right! If Gu Chenyuan likes his face, what kind of beauty hasn't Gu Chenyuan seen? Could it be that Gu Chenyuan is attracted to his erudition? Does Gu Chenyuan like the academic type?
Ye Qingyun felt her head hurt even more.
He secretly turned his head to look behind him and saw Gu Chenyuan sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard, looking at him with half-closed eyes.
Ye Qingyun was startled and quickly looked away.
"Why are you so nervous?" Gu Chenyuan asked in a flat tone.
"N-nothing." Ye Qingyun tried to calm himself down, his mind racing as he came up with a solution.
If Gu Chenyuan really is that person, then there seems to be only one reason to like him—to like the way he seems to know a little bit about everything.
What if he shows that he doesn't know everything?
Ye Qingyun tentatively said, "It's too difficult. The composition of this stone is too complex. I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out."
Gu Chenyuan showed no disappointment, and his voice was even lighter than before: "If we can't figure it out, then we'll just wear it as jewelry."
The lights in the room were turned off, and darkness enveloped the room again. Gu Chenyuan said softly, "It's too late. Stop studying and go to sleep."
Ye Qingyun lay down on the bed, half asleep and half awake, when he suddenly thought of something and woke up with a start.
Gu Chenyuan couldn't understand the language of that planet, so who told him that the plant could give people tattoos?
If Gu Chenyuan had only seen or heard of it elsewhere, he had tried to find that plant before, but without any clues. It was very likely that the plant was unique to that planet.
If Gu Chenyuan just happened to see someone using this plant to get a tattoo—would it be such a coincidence? Besides, why would someone get a tattoo in public? And the plant tattoo didn't do anything at all; the tattoo just grew out of nowhere. How would Gu Chenyuan know it was the plant's effect?
The more Ye Qingyun thought about it, the more confused he became. Unable to sleep, he pulled the covers over his head and started searching on his terminal.
This time, instead of searching for the plant, he searched directly for information about the mysterious figure.
A whole bunch of search results popped up at once, and Ye Qingyun quickly browsed through them, looking for what she wanted to know.
Soon, Ye Qingyun found a post: 【What are the signs that someone has someone else in their heart?】
Ye Qingyun clicked in and saw netizens discussing various stories about previous humanoid weapons and their loved ones.
Putting everything else aside, they really are inseparable, clinging to each other like glue. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that every one of their admirers is heartless, always sending them far away to help them build their careers. Poor thing.
He's never leaving his side... It seems like he's been hooked; Gu Chenyuan has indeed been following him around a lot lately.
[And she gets incredibly jealous! She gets angry if someone just glances at her, and goes crazy if they even touch her.]
Jealous? Gu Chenyuan didn't seem to have ever been jealous; he had always remained quite calm.
Ye Qingyun felt a little relieved. Looking at the reply, he felt that some parts matched Gu Chenyuan and some did not, so it could not be used as a basis to judge whether Gu Chenyuan was that person.
The post gradually veered off-topic and started discussing other things.
Ye Qingyun continued browsing, and when she saw a certain reply, her gaze sharpened.
Although he's always touted as an invincible humanoid weapon, he's not truly without weaknesses, is he? His weakness is his lover.
"That's true. Wasn't it true that once their rivals kidnapped that person's lover, driving him to suicide?"
……suicide?
Ye Qingyun felt her head start to ache again.
He can't fight. If Gu Chenyuan really is that person, then his existence would be a huge disadvantage for Gu Chenyuan.
Ye Qingyun continued reading, her mind in turmoil.
[This is so tragic! She's created a weakness for herself. Is there really no way to break up with her?]
[The breakup is inevitable, but I once heard a legend, I don't know if it's true or not, that someone was jealous of a girl who won the heart of that humanoid weapon, and by chance, cut off the skin from the area where the girl had a tattoo. And guess what? While the tattoo was growing back, that humanoid weapon wasn't as fond of his lover anymore!]
Ye Qingyun looked at this passage and reached out to touch the area where she had a tattoo.
He could try having the system help stop the bleeding quickly and isolate the smell of blood without being detected.
If it really works, he won't have to worry about it anymore.
