Chapter 40 Are You Ready to Marry Me...
Why are you asking such a question out of the blue?
Lu Qi was a little confused.
To her, Ying Xing is her older brother, Jing Yuan is her younger brother, Dan Feng is her father, and Bai Heng and Jing Liu are both older sisters. The six of them form a harmonious "family" with no relationship beyond friendship.
Isn't it because she is a player that she is treated differently?
This should be the background setting...
Lu Qi thought for a few seconds.
"If I have to choose one, it should be Brother Jingyuan, right?"
When Jing Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up and he puffed out his chest.
"Why?" Bai Heng asked in surprise, "Is Ying Xing not good? I support Ying Xing. He is now old enough to start a family. Although he has a bad temper, he is also kind--"
"Because I'm young." Lu Qi said.
She has many XPs in the two-dimensional world, including older men, strangers, and domineering bosses... If she has to choose her favorite, it would of course be the young and energetic beautiful boy!
Paper people never age, but beautiful boys are more cost-effective! After all, diamond boys are taller...
"It's bad," Bai Heng murmured, "Then Ying Xing is doomed."
"I don't think you're right," Jing Liu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. "If we talk about youth, Dan Feng is also very young. They, the Chiming clan, can transform into eggs and grow again."
"In a sense, he's older than all of us combined, right?!"
"How can you count age like that?" Lu Qi said, snatching Bai Heng's wine cup. "Sister Bai Heng, stop drinking. You can hardly stand."
"Jingliu... My head hurts—woo, Yingxing lost..." The fox girl almost buried her head on the table, "The stock I bought was stopped by the owner."
"Wake up, there's no stock market here," Lu Qi was busy comforting her, not noticing that everyone else had stopped drinking and the conversation had stopped. "Sister Jingliu, come and help."
Jing Liu drank without changing her expression, and she wasn't easily intoxicated. However, her method of dealing with drunks was simple and brutal: a single slash of her hand would sober Bai Heng up considerably.
The fox with long light purple hair chuckled and came to his senses, realizing that he had just asked some inappropriate questions...
She looked furtively at the reactions of those around her.
Leaving aside Lu Qi, the main party involved, she seemed to think that this was just a casual question, just like "Dad, Mom, who do you like the most?", and her reply was quite perfunctory.
But others don't seem to think so.
Jing Yuan, who drank a lot for the first time, held the wine cup and smiled foolishly. Facing the death stares of Ying Xing and Dan Feng, he ignored them to the end.
The white-haired boy wanted to get closer to Lu Qi and talk to him, but Ying Xing and Dan Feng pulled him back and forced him to drink more.
The words of that little bastard Lu Qi were not to be taken seriously, but they still lingered like a thorn in their hearts. Ying Xing might be better off, as he had already prepared himself mentally, but Dan Feng——
Bai Heng's gaze had barely fallen on the venerable Dragon Lord's face when he was apprehended. The young man with dark hair and blue eyes was in a bad mood, his usually expressionless face tinged with impatience.
After glancing at Bai Heng, he focused his attention on Lu Qi. The black-haired, dark-eyed girl had drunk a little, but she wasn't drunk at all, her eyes sparkling.
Now I can’t even find an excuse to say Xiaoqi was drunk…
In the second half, Bai Heng did not continue to make trouble even if he drank a lot. He was surprisingly good at drinking. In the end, he and Jing Liu supported each other and left.
Lu Qi, who was left behind, looked at Dan Feng who was drinking silently, Jing Yuan who was so drunk that his cheeks were red, and Ying Xing who was competing with him silently while drinking and picking up food.
The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become strange. Lu Qi couldn't explain what this feeling was, but he just felt a little timid.
"No, don't drink anymore?" she whispered. "Then, I'll go home first."
"..." Dan Feng was looking at her again. His eyes seemed to be glued to Lu Qi. Whenever she appeared, he could not take his eyes off her. "Send Jing Yuan back first."
"Then you go and send Jing Yuan off. I'll go home by myself," Lu Qi's words became smoother, with a hint of pride in his voice. "I'm walking alone at night now. It's safe."
Emperor Gong Siming's blessing allowed Lu Qi to embark on a hunting journey. It was a rare occurrence for a person to embark on two different destinies. The hunting journey meant Lu Qi now had the power to protect herself. It had been a long time since she had begged him to take her home.
She seemed to need him less and less.
It was like watching a flower bud bloom in the palm of his hand and then move away from him.
At this moment, Dan Feng felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
Why?
It was obviously he who came here first, whether it was love at first sight or because he had protected her until she grew up... There was no reason for the giant dragon occupying the treasure not to get a share.
He wanted—
"You should have told me earlier that you couldn't bear to leave me." A smile as bright as the sun blossomed on the girl's face. She was often as happy as she was today, speaking frankly and sincerely. "Okay, then I'll accompany you to send that drunk brother Jingyuan back home!"
"Oh, by the way, does Yingxing want to send it off?" she asked.
Ying Xing glanced at Dan Feng.
The honorable Lord Long Zun did not welcome him, and it looked like he had agreed to be put in a sack and thrown into the Boyue Ancient Sea in the middle of the night.
Ying Xing was not afraid, but he also knew that now was not the time to fight for his dignity.
...Let's wait a little longer.
"No, I'll go back by myself," Ying Xing said, standing up calmly. He hooked his fingertips, and the coat hanging on the back of the chair fell smoothly into his arm.
It was late at night, and Lu Qi was dressed lightly. She had caught a cold the last time she came home late at night. Ying Xing frowned slightly and put his coat on her.
"It's a cold night, put on your coat and give it back to me next time."
Several of them were much taller than Lu Qi, and their coats were quite large, so Lu Qi was almost completely buried in Ying Xing's coat.
The man in front of her wore tight-fitting clothes, his massive chest muscles nearly tearing the buttons off. The sturdy craftsman patted her head, and the clothes in front of her became even tighter.
"Male mother..." Lu Qi said in a low voice.
"What?"
"Nothing!" Lu Qi said, trying to hide the truth. "I'm telling you to be careful on the road. Brother Ying Xing is so handsome, be careful not to be teased!"
"...You should just worry about yourself." Ying Xing said unhappily.
This little girl is pretty herself, especially her drooping eyelashes. Once her eyebrows droop, her round, deer-like pupils always reveal a pitiful expression, making people want to continue bullying her and see her cry.
But whether it was him or Dan Feng Jingyuan, they couldn't bear to see her cry.
"Okay, see you another day, Brother Ying Xing, thank you for your clothes, even though they smell of alcohol."
"Since you dislike it, then give it back to me."
"No," Lu Qi smiled and took a few steps back, wrapping his clothes tightly around himself. "It's all in my hands now, so of course I won't give it back."
Anything that goes into the player’s pocket, even if it is limited in time, belongs to the player during that period of time!
She put on his clothes and followed Danfeng away. Poor Jingyuan was floating in the air by Danfeng's water control technique. The posture was so uncomfortable that he struggled.
Ying Xing could still hear Lu Qi's chattering.
"Why don't you try changing the position for brother Jingyuan? It feels like he's going to vomit in your water soon."
"……trouble."
Dan Feng said this, still following Lu Qi's words, and adjusted Jing Yuan's position. This time, facing upward, even if he vomited, it would only be on his own face.
Jing Yuan currently lives alone and does not live with his parents. It is said that he had a quarrel with his parents. His parents did not approve of him joining the Yunqi Army and preferred that he work in the Diheng Division. Unexpectedly, Jing Yuan joined the army without a second thought.
In order to avoid his parents' persuasion, he chose to rent a house alone.
Lu Qi seldom went to Jing Yuan's house. In fact, she seldom went to any of their homes.
Most of the time they would play at her house, saying it was more convenient.
Indeed, she was the only place big enough and close enough to the city center to be reasonably close to everyone else's place.
Jing Yuan's residence wasn't big, but it was fairly clean. After entering through the entrance hall, he could see the lion head potted plant Lu Qi had given him earlier, placed carelessly in the center.
Lu Qi: "Is there something wrong with Brother Jingyuan? Why put the potted plants in the middle of the balcony instead of the balcony?"
"When did you give him a gift again?"
"Oh, it's about that black and white cat jade pendant from last time," Lu Qi said, unknowingly selling Jing Yuan out completely. "He said he carved it himself."
Dan Feng stared at Jing Yuan who was caught in the air by his spell and wanted to throw him down.
"I misunderstood him, so I gave him a bonsai as an apology."
Dan Feng touched the jade ring and remained silent.
"Danfeng, you can put Brother Jingyuan down now... Oh, and help him take off his coat first, otherwise it will be uncomfortable for him to lie down."
Lu Qi reached out to take off Jing Yuan's clothes, but Dan Feng frowned and blocked her hand.
"Let me do it."
"Okay."
Lu Qi watched obediently from the side, and saw Dan Feng take off Jing Yuan's outer robe in a few rough and quick strokes, like scraping the scales of a fresh fish, and stuffed him into the quilt with an expressionless face.
"Danfeng," Lu Qi reminded gently, "It's uncomfortable to sleep with boots on..."
He tutted, impatiently turning Jingyuan up and taking his boots off.
"Face……"
"And the hands..."
"Ah, untie his ponytail too."
Dan Feng gave one instruction and one action at a time, and Lu Qi became addicted to the game. He looked left and right, but didn't find that there was anything that his brother Jing Yuan hadn't cleaned up, and thought it was a pity.
Behind her, the voice of the hardworking Lord Long Zun came faintly.
"Have you had enough fun?"
Lu Qi shrank his neck.
"I've had enough fun..."
"Let's go when you've had enough fun. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
There are not many people in Xianzhou in the early morning. This area is not a night market. Even if outsiders come to Xianzhou to play, they will not come here inexplicably in the middle of the night.
Or maybe it was because the night was so beautiful that Lu Qi's heart swelled up under the illumination of the virtual moon.
She stopped and pulled Dan Feng's hanging sleeve.
The light fell on the silky clothes, like pieces of broken jade. The wide sleeves were made of silky material, and when I touched them, I felt like I was touching a ball of soft water.
Dan Feng followed her movements and stood on the roadside. He turned his head, his eyebrows and eyes were covered in shadows.
"What is it?"
"Dan Feng," Lu Qi said boldly, "Can you turn into a dragon and take me home?"
"Do you know what it means to ride on a dragon's head?"
"What?" Lu Qi was confused. What was the point of this? She simply thought riding a dragon was cool and always wanted to try it.
Dan Feng must feel embarrassed when there are many people around. But when there are few people around and she is alone, she will act like a spoiled child. What if a CG is produced?
"My body, my scales, my horns, my tail, can only be touched by the closest person in the world," Lord Longzun said calmly, "You want to ride on my head... Are you ready to marry me?"

Dan Feng couldn't bear it any longer and just went straight for A!
Ah, today is April 1st, happy April Fools' Day!
