Long Xiaoyun was momentarily captivated by the stunning beauty of Lianxing. His heart pounded wildly, but he quickly shook his head inwardly.
Lianxing was indeed breathtaking, but he still preferred Lin Shiyin’s type. He had an almost obsessive admiration for Lin Shiyin. Thinking about how he was just about to marry Lin Shiyin, only for their wedding to be disrupted by this sudden Live Q&A Game, Long Xiaoyun’s expression darkened.
Others were eager to participate in this Live Q&A Game, but to Long Xiaoyun, the most important thing was marrying Lin Shiyin and bringing her home. Everything else came second.
Immortality? Becoming a Celestial?
That would only be possible if he answered correctly. But what if he got the answer wrong?
What if the punishment was death?
If he died, wouldn’t his soon-to-be bride be left behind, never to be enjoyed?
Long Xiaoyun was highly satisfied with his current situation and eagerly looked forward to his future with Lin Shiyin. He really didn’t want any unnecessary complications.
But unfortunately, the Live Q&A Game had chosen him. This made Long Xiaoyun feel extremely frustrated.
“Forget it. Since I’m here, I might as well make the best of it.”
“Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. I might end up getting some rewards.”
Long Xiaoyun could only comfort himself with such thoughts.

Lianxing’s gaze swept across the room, and when she saw Ye Luochuan, as a devoted admirer of handsome men, her eyes couldn’t help but light up. She suddenly recalled Jiang Feng from eighteen years ago.
Although time had blurred Jiang Feng’s features in her memory, Lianxing was still certain that the man before her was in no way inferior to Jiang Feng. However, under the attention of the entire Live Q&A Game, she didn’t deliberately approach Ye Luochuan in front of so many people.
Suddenly, Lianxing frowned slightly as she sensed a pair of greedy eyes unabashedly staring at her. Turning her head, she saw Tian Boguang gazing at her with shining eyes, his expression full of desire.
Lianxing instantly knew exactly what kind of filthy thoughts were running through his mind.
“Hmph!”
As the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace, the only person who could bully her was her elder sister. Other than Yaoyue, Lianxing had never been one to swallow her anger.
Without hesitation, she gathered an icy, bone-chilling energy into her right palm and raised her hand to strike Tian Boguang.
Just then, an invisible force restrained her, and the voice of the Live Q&A Game sounded.
[Combat is prohibited in the Live Q&A Game. Starting next time, violators will be eliminated.]
As soon as the announcement ended, the force binding Lianxing disappeared. But Lianxing dared not act again. She knew that the first time was excused because she wasn’t aware of the rule.
If she attacked again, it would be a deliberate violation, and she would be punished by the Live Q&A Game. Casting a cold glance at Tian Boguang, Lianxing ignored him.

At this moment, Tian Boguang’s forehead and back were drenched in sweat.!Although Lianxing hadn’t managed to land her strike, the aura that leaked from her body when she made her move gave him the terrifying feeling that the sky was collapsing.
Grandmaster?
Great Grandmaster?
Or even stronger?
Tian Boguang couldn’t determine Lianxing’s level. The strongest martial artists he had encountered in his life had never been as terrifying as her.
Without a reference, it was difficult for him to make an accurate judgment. But one thing was certain—if she wanted to kill him, she wouldn’t even need a second move!
Tian Boguang shuddered, his heart filled with lingering fear. He quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look at her anymore. But then, a thought crossed his mind.
He and Lianxing were not in the same continent. Otherwise, with her level of skill, it was impossible that he had never heard of her before.
In that case, what did it matter if he had offended her? After all, combat was forbidden in the Live Q&A Game, and travel between continents was extremely difficult. No one had ever heard of anyone successfully crossing the vast oceans to another continent. So what could she do to him?
With that thought, Tian Boguang straightened his back again!
He looked directly at Lianxing, whistled frivolously, and smirked.
“What a feisty beauty! A real thrill! Too bad we’re not on the same continent—otherwise, this granddaddy Tian would definitely pay you a midnight visit!”
“You court death!”
Lianxing turned to glare at him, her eyes as sharp as blades, making Tian Boguang’s scalp tingle. But he was certain that Lianxing couldn’t harm him.
With growing arrogance, he grinned even more lewdly and laughed wickedly.
“Oh~ Beauty, kill me if you can. Come on, Tian Boguang is begging for death—come and take my life!”
Lianxing clenched her delicate fists tightly, gathering terrifying power in her palms. Her gaze towards Tian Boguang was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth. But she forced herself to hold back.
She could only curse their unfortunate separation—if they were on the same continent, she would have made him suffer a fate worse than death.
“Since this perverted thief is so eager to die, perhaps we can find a way to grant his wish.”
A calm and gentle voice suddenly sounded. Lianxing turned and saw Ye Luochuan’s warm and charming smile.
Ye Luochuan cupped his hands and greeted her politely, “I am Ye Luochuan.”
Lianxing nodded in return.
“I am Lianxing of Yihua Palace.”
After a brief pause, she asked, “What do you mean by your earlier words?”
Ye Luochuan smiled.
“This perverted thief is seeking death but is unable to find it, simply because he and you are not on the same continent.”
“However, in my view, you two might very well have a chance to meet outside the Live Q&A Game.”
“For example?”
Lianxing’s eyes lit up.
Ye Luochuan said leisurely, “For example, if you answer correctly, you might win a treasure that allows you to teleport to another continent.”
“Or perhaps, you might gain a divine ability that enables you to cross the vast oceans.”
“Or maybe, the divine beings behind this Live Q&A Game might one day decide to merge all the continents back into a single landmass.”
“In any of these scenarios, you would be able to meet this perverted thief outside the Live Q&A Game.”
“That is, if this perverted thief manages to survive this game.”
As Ye Luochuan finished speaking, Lianxing’s face lit up with a bright, delighted smile.
“You’re absolutely right! Thank you for reminding me, Ye Gongzi.”
At that moment, Lianxing found Ye Luochuan much more pleasant to look at. Her fondness for him surged.
Ye Luochuan shook his head with a light chuckle.
“I merely helped make your wish come true.”
Tian Boguang was scared stiff by Ye Luochuan’s words. He instantly regretted his loose tongue. Now that he had completely angered Lianxing, their grudge was set in stone. If things unfolded as Ye Luochuan predicted, then he was doomed.
For the first time, Tian Boguang felt a chilling despair. He glared furiously at Ye Luochuan, but Ye Luochuan pretended not to notice and continued chatting with Lianxing. Meanwhile, Yilin was explaining everything to her master in the Live Q&A Game.
