After Favorability Is Maxed

306 A Three-Person Trip

Liu Yuan said calmly, “Not what?” You didn’t do it on purpose? Don’t you think so in your heart? Aren’t you happy now that I’ve come to find you?

Xu Ping lost her sense of propriety and panicked in Liu Yuan’s arms. His face was red, and he pursed her lips and retorted subconsciously, “No! I didn’t …”

Liu Yuan said calmly, “Didn’t what? You didn’t do it on purpose? You didn’t you think so in your heart? Aren’t you happy now that I’ve come to find you? Or was it that you were forced to be with me, and everything you said back then was a lie?”

One wrong step led to many more wrong steps.

From the moment Liu Yuan revealed Xu Ping’s identity, she lost the chance to fight for the initiative. Everything was in Liu Yuan’s hands.

Liu Yuan’s words rang in Xu Ping’s ears. Each question was like a heavy hammer pounding on Xu Ping’s heart, making her suffer the torture of morality and responsibility. Of course, there were also the last two questions, which were the killer moves to force Xu Ping to admit his true thoughts.

As long as she realized that happiness was greater than suffering, then the original torture would turn into pleasure, both physically and mentally.

On the other hand, Xu Ping’s favorability was clearly above her head. Her emotions were easily stirred up by Liu Yuan, especially the positive emotions generated by the interaction.

‘Hmmm…’ This was the same logic as daily interaction in the game to increase favorability. However, the favorability increase from interactions that did not follow the strategy was very limited. However, since the favorability was already full, it was no problem at all. It was also very nice (thumbs up).

Of course, Xu Ping was happy. From the moment she saw Liu Yuan and the moment the door was opened, the first emotion that came to her heart was surprise. Surprise was the first, but the secret joy that followed was deeper. The feelings that burst out from the bottom of her heart could not be fake.

Just as Liu Yuan had guessed, she had been keeping an eye on Liu Yuan’s movements. It was just that he had always been using Jiang Feng’s identity. Xu Ping only found out that this person had ‘returned’ because his disciple had received a journal published by the Green Centipede. Moreover, he had been entangled in scandals with various women.

The purpose of this trip was to secretly search for Liu Yuan. who was seriously injured and had escaped… Unfortunately, even the Jade Mirage Sect could not find him. Probably no one would have thought that Liu Yuan had hidden in the branch of the demonic sect with the Righteous fairy, Ling Hua. Of course – it was like looking for-needle in-haystack, but her efforts were in vain. She only took this fruitless action because she was worried about the other party’s safety.

“I-I… Of course…” Xu Ping closed his eyes and accepted her fate, her voice trembling.”Of course I’m happy! When we were in the Far East Sea, I remembered everything that happened between us. I thought I could miss it for the rest of my life. Every word I said was true, and the happiness in my heart was also true. If I could be like you forever, from sunrise to sunset, every day, every month, every year, I sometimes even think that if I could, I would be willing to give up the name Xu Ping…”

She opened her eyes, which were filled with tears. She pursed her lips and said, “But I can’t. Xu Shibing is destined to be a wanderer with no background in the Far East Sea. She can’t be Xu Ping…”

The name Xu Ping, just as Liu Yuan had said, represented the sanctimonious nature of the Mythical Flame Sect. Perhaps it was not as direct as her Junior Sister, but she was also an important part of it.

“Why not? Since happiness is real, your feelings are real, and our experiences together are real, why can’t Xu Shibing be Xu Ping?” Liu Yuan asked in return.

He had to make Xu Ping admit that she was Xu Shibing. Otherwise, in the Mythical Flame Sect, under such an environment full of pressure, the torment in her heart would gradually outweigh her love for Liu Yuan. In addition, she would be jealous and overthink things. It was possible that her favorability would decrease and she might even be brainwashed by the Mythical Flame Sect’s rules.

He had to cut the knot quickly! While Xu Ping was still immersed in the joy of their reunion and the beautiful memories awakened by Liu Yuan, she could directly unite her body and mind with Xu Shibing and remove all the obstacles caused by her identity as an Elder of Mythical Flame Sect!

As the God of Conquering Strategy and the Saint of love, he, Liu Yuan, would definitely not be confused by the other party’s current gentleness.

She had been running away, and that was the problem. If she still wanted to separate Xu Shibing from Xu Ping, it would definitely end in a tragedy, and Liu Yuan would never let that happen.

Xu Ping’s body trembled and she said, “But…”

Liu Yuan took advantage of his victory and pressed on, not giving her a chance to stop and think. He turned her body to face him, and their eyes met. He said slowly, “You shouldn’t have abandoned the name Xu Ping, but… Xu Shibing.”

He said softly, “Now I know who you are. You are Xu Ping, and we met in the Far East Sea. We knew each other, and we dealt with all kinds of evil sects and saved those innocent people. Whether it was the children who were used as Gu worm containers, or the people who had no way out after their families were exterminated, we were also hunted. We snuggled up with each other in the ruined temple until dawn, never afraid of life and death, never retreating in desperate times. These are all the memories you brought to me.”

“Now, I want to get to know the complete version of you, not just the wandering warrior Xu Shibing, but also the Mythical Flame Sect’s Elder Xu Ping, okay? Since you’re Xu Ping and Xu Shibing is Xu Ping, it’s enough that I only know Xu Ping…”

Xu Ping could not help but sink into her memories. It turned out that she was not the only one who remembered. She also remembered the person she missed clearly. Every incident was a shared beauty.

She muttered with a bitter smile, “I’ve been looking for you for almost half a month. I was very worried about your whereabouts, but you seemed to have disappeared. I told myself that you wouldn’t die, but in fact, I was a little disheartened. It just so happened that Feiyan was about to attend the Fire Awarding Ceremony. Although I couldn’t stop thinking about her, I couldn’t leave her alone. So, I returned to the sect, but I didn’t expect…”

In the end, the moment she returned, he ssensed a man in his disciple’s room?

She was already dumbfounded enough. When she opened the door, she did not expect this man to be her man. She had been looking for him for months, but she couldn’t find him. Now, she met him in her own sect.

Xu Ping’s eyes were filled with resentment again.

“I have to clarify this matter on behalf of Feiyan.” Liu Yuan suddenly said seriously, “She and I don’t have any special relationship. I just need her help. Your disciple is a good person, and I admire her, but that’s all.”

Xu Ping was stunned, and then her face turned red. “How could that be? you and her, she… Did I misunderstand?”

“It’s a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding. She kept trying to refute you and tell you the truth, but you thought she was trying to quibble.” Liu Yuan sighed.

Xu Ping’s eyes wandered, and she bit her lip in silence, as if her dignity as a Master was making her struggle in her mind, but in fact, she was vaguely relieved.

Liu Yuan sharply noticed this and thought to himself that this was the barrier in her heart. He took the opportunity to reach out and lift her hair. “You’ve been looking for me for half a month because you can’t let me go. Since you can’t let me go, how can you be at ease as an Elder of the Mythical Flame Sect and leave the illusion that might never appear again to me… Aren’t you being a little too selfish?”

Xu Ping raised her head, but Liu Yuan, who had lowered his head, locked his lips with her.

“Mmm… mmm!”

Xu Ping’s eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat. After a brief moment of shock, she immediately reacted and pushed Liu Yuan away. She rushed out of the door in a panic and disappeared into the night.

This war, which had no smoke but whose goal was to conquer, finally ended with Xu Ping fleeing in defeat.

Liu Yuan smiled and stood in the room silently.

After a long time, Wei Feiyan stuck her head out from the side of the door and asked, “What is your relationship with my Master?”
