And now, it seemed very likely that he had entered that special route.
"Sigh——"
Xu Yuan slowly exhaled a breath, his gaze simultaneously turning sharp and cold.
Since that was the case, there was no helping it.
He certainly didn't want to die at the hands of these lovesick fools. Originally, he had wanted to be a kept man, but now it seemed...
He had never played the special route before, but he had seen other players mention it in comments; the plot was essentially a mix of sections from various female leads' routes.
However, compared to other main routes, this one contained items that could counter the female leads' cheats.
It seemed that the scene he was experiencing now was the night attack plot from Lin Qingque's main storyline.
The gentle sound of footsteps became increasingly clear.
Xu Yuan tried his best to calm his breathing while mentally searching for a way to break the situation.
If he followed Lin Qingque's main plot, the main reason she launched this night attack was because of rumors that Tian Liuli, the fairy from Qiushui Shengong he was engaged to, would arrive tomorrow, supposedly for the wedding.
She did not want to watch the two of them get married without having expressed her feelings.
So, she came, gracefully and quietly.
In the dead of night, she came alone to his room.
"Senior brother, are you asleep?"
The voice from outside the door was soft and sticky, with a hint of appeasement and testing.
"I haven't slept, junior sister. What's the matter? Coming to my place in the middle of the night, is there something wrong?"
On the surface, Xu Yuan appeared as stable as an old dog, but in reality, he was already sweating profusely.
Because if the plot progressed as it did in the game, Lin Qingque would soon awaken her cheat.
——Heart Voice.
Hearing his voice, the girl standing outside let out a breath and forcefully pushed open the door.
With a creak, the door slowly opened.
The moonlight, like flowing water, streamed through the opening door.
A fairy-like girl stood at the doorway, bathed in the moonlight.
Her appearance was ethereally beautiful, with skin like ice and bones like jade, and a slender waist. Her normally icy eyes, however, were now filled with tender affection.
Seeing him look over, the ethereal and beautiful girl, like a jellyfish floating in the ocean, walked in bonelessly.
"Senior brother, haven't you gone to bed?"
"Sen..."
Xu Yuan was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something, his gaze flickered slightly, and he changed his words, "Que'er, why have you come?"
Hearing this name, which had only been used back when they had first arrived on the mountain, Lin Qingque's clear eyes brightened with greater amusement.
The distance between them distinctly dissolved significantly.
"I heard, senior brother, that your fiancée, Tian Liuli, is coming tomorrow?"
Lin Qingque asked as if casually, but with much caution.
"Yes."
Xu Yuan frowned slightly and sighed softly.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Qingque felt a surge of joy within her: was he instinctively rejecting the marriage? Even his voice became slightly softer and sweeter, "Then, senior brother, what do you plan to do?"
"What can I do?"
His bitterness was vividly depicted on his face, so lifelike that even she, the closest person to him, could not discern any flaw.
It was natural, after all, those emotions were not merely feigned.
"Then senior brother, may I ask you something..."
The moon hung high in the sky.
With a buzz, very abruptly, Lin Qingque's mind seemed to explode as if countless strings were plucked simultaneously.
The sound of spring water in the distant mountains, the sound of the wind stirring the leaves in the forest, the chatting of birds and friends, and the chanting of scriptures by other disciples inside the door... The sounds of everything flooded into her mind.
Looking at the girl who fell into a stupor before him, the warmth on Xu Yuan's face disappeared, beaten by wind and rain, becoming gradually chilling.
He was contemplating one question.
Should he simply seize the chance to kill her now?
