Volume 9 – Chapter 24: Withered and Thriving, A Sinful Live (Part 2)

“Does such a threat make sense?”

“If you don’t care about me anymore, does it mean anything to you?”

Lan Xiu suddenly held Xiaorou’s face in his hands and stopped talking. She let it go and did not speak. Her eyes were like sharp needles and unyielding.

Time passed bit by bit slowly. It was three-quarters of an hour to eleven, and then came the last ten minutes of the day… nine minutes… eight minutes… seven minutes…

Qian Xiu took a deep breath when the twelfth bell, which represented the arrival of midnight, rang, “Do you know what it means to be here?”

“Yes…”

“You can no longer be willful. You can’t enjoy a quality life. You will suffer, and you will even face more dangers. You will even go hungry!”

“I have reloaded the game with all my pocket money. There are twenty-three million diamonds. It should last a long time. Don’t worry! I’m not afraid!”

“…Why are you always so self-willed?” Qian Xiu rubbed his forehead. “You have to hand it in! Don’t smoke anymore! Don’t buy things randomly!”

“I know that!”

“Even if you never see Lan Kai again?”

“Do you know? I can’t let go of all this… Elder Brother, he can’t let go too.” Thousand Delicate Feathers lowered her head and leaned on Qian Xiu’s chest. “He has been too bitter. He has been too fortunate to suffer. If I’m not here, then he can be free. If it weren’t that there was no news of you, I wouldn’t be able to hold on till now… Lan Kai, he has a heavy sense of responsibility. He has been the eldest son of the Lan family for thirty years, but he has never been himself. He was never free…”

“This is not the reason for our situation now.” Qian Xiu shook his head.

Thousand Delicate Feathers raised her head and looked at the face that she had been waiting for a long time with horror, her body trembling.

He grabbed her palm hard and looked at the priest on the podium because under the instruction of Thousand Delicate Feathers, the priest, who had already started the ceremony, did not stop.

The priest, who had already finished reading the lengthy lines long ago, stopped and said repeatedly, Mr. Qian Xiu, are you willing to marry Miss Thousand Delicate Feathers?

“I’m willing.” Qian Xiu answered the question very positively.

Thousand Delicate Feathers’ body trembled more severely… Finally, I hear what I wanted.

“Miss Thousand Delicate Feathers, are you willing to marry Mr. Qian Xiu?”

“I am willing!” she shouted. “I am willing! I am willing!”

The priest nodded, closed the scripture on the podium with both hands, and then spread it out flat. Above the auditorium, two lights were flickering and turned into light balls, slowly landing in front of Qian Xiu and Thousand Delicate Feathers. And then, it turned into two rings.

The priest said loudly, “Then, by order of the Father, I declare that you…”

However, the priest’s words were suddenly interrupted by Qian Xiu, “No! No blessings are needed. We only unite in the name of… sinners.”

“… announced that you are an official couple. Please exchange rings,” the priest smiled slightly.

Qian Xiu silently picked up the ring and put it on the finger of Thousand Delicate Feathers, “In the name of sinners, we will not be happy.”

She also silently picked up the ring and put it on Qian Xiu’s finger, “In the name of a sinner, even if we are not happy, we will always be together, and nothing will be able to separate us.”

“We are accomplices.”

“We are already accomplices from the beginning.”

An auditorium where no one was watching. The priest that acted as their witness was just an illusion. They even need to escape to a bizarre world, where they abandoned their lives as humans… He kissed her there.

The flower of taboo in human relationships bloomed.

…

War Song Gudazi, “Milk God!! Help us!! Where is he?!”

Xiao Bao, “Coming, coming, right now!”

Muscle Kanna sighed, “I finally understand why you are called a Cheat God. As expected, you don’t have to look back and regroup after forming a team.”

Xiao Bao, “Don’t be like this. I also have long-term partners!”

Green Sukumizu curiously asked, “Crap… Is it possible that someone is even worse than you?”

Xiao Bao, “It’s pretty bad. She never uses voice messages, knows typing messages, and you don’t know how tired I am! It’s cool to speak while swiping like this! It frees my hands! Like I say, although in this respect it’s worth complaining, my boss does not cheat! Like this duplicate, probably these two bosses can directly launch ordinary attacks!”

War Song Gudazi was stunned, “Who is so freaking awesome? Care to introduce?”

Xiao Bao said with a laugh, “Probably not for the time being. He went on a honeymoon… although it was only in the game.”

“Shit! Pay attention to healing us!”

“Okay, coming right now… Wait, wait! I’ll go away for a while!!”

“Damn… again! Kick this scammer out of the team!!”

Xiao Bao could no longer see as his character had been kicked out of the team. He just hurriedly ran outside the corridor of the office with a bunch of materials, “Yeah, right, do I have to tell you that my two bosses are the legendary pair of gods in the game world?”

…

“What are you laughing at?” Thousand Delicate Feathers moved her head out of Qian Xiu’s arm and asked curiously.

“Xiao Bao’s mail.” Qian Xiu laughed. “Another team was cheated by him.”

Thousand Delicate Feathers thought for a while and said, “Well, your underling is pretty good. Those people don’t recognize talent, right? Where are we going next? Do you want to explore new areas as planned?”

Qian Xiu suddenly said, “Before that, I want to go to a place first.”

“Where?”

“Novice Village.”

…

“Wow, is there such a good place? How come I never know of it?”

On the small bridge by the lake, Thousand Delicate Feathers stretched, but Qian Xiu quietly looked at the entrance in front of the bridge without speaking much. Thousand Delicate Feathers did not mind and just looked at Qian Xiu’s face from the side in silence.

After waiting for a long time, a young man dressed as a mage was seen at the bridgehead, strolling with a fishing rod in one hand and a basket in the other.

“Is this the person we are waiting for? How come it’s only level four?” Thousand Delicate Feathers blinked and felt incredulous.

Qian Xiu sighed and said, “Since I met him, he has been at level four. He never does anything. He comes here to fish when he has time… The mission of the Legendary Golden Carp King.”

Thousand Delicate Feathers widened her eyes, “The one that claims to be impossible to complete?”

Qian Xiu nodded.

Thousand Delicate Feathers shook her head, “I don’t know if this guy is lucky or unfortunate.”

Finally, the little mage walked in front of the two, smiled slightly, and said, “There are two people this time?”

Qian Xiu nodded, smiled, and said, “I have found the answer to the question about the monkey on the isolated island.”

“Congratulations.” LQ Little Mage nodded.

Qian Xiu suddenly said, “Don’t you want to know the answer?”

The little mage shook his head, walked past the two of them, came to the place where he used to fish, sat down, and said casually, “It’s your answer, not my answer. It’s of no use to me.”

“Why is this person like this?” Thousand Delicate Feathers asked softly in Qian Xiu’s ear.

Qian Xiu shook his head slightly, walked behind the little mage, and suddenly said, “I saw it.”

The little mage turned to look at him.

Qian Xiu said, “Golden Carp King, I saw it. It is indeed under the bottom of the lake, probably in a cave in the middle section.”

“I know.” The little mage smiled.
