Long Qingyu?
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
But unfortunately, he wasn't concerned about what this woman's name was. He was only interested in what kind of encounter reward this love-stricken madwoman could offer.
Damn it, the Dao Baifeng storyline fizzled out because of attribute issues, so the reward better not be too disappointing!
Putting that aside, if he had the chance in the future, he definitely had to find this 'Unfailing Golden Spear' Fate!
No, that's not enough.
I want 'Yang Dingtian'!
For now, he had to stand firm for the last watch.
[The campfire gradually dimmed,]
[The sound of rain outside the ruined temple also gradually ceased.]
[Her story came to an end at this moment.]
[After saying all this, she seemed to feel much lighter.]
[She turned her head, looking at you who had been listening in the dark, and finally asked:]
["Kid, do you think I'm foolish?"]
[Option 1: Frankly admit 'Yes, it's not worth it for such a man.']
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Long Qingyu Favorability +5, triggers subsequent dialogue.)
[Option 2: Shake your head and deny 'No, it's not your fault, it's that man's fault.']
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Long Qingyu Favorability +7, triggers subsequent dialogue.)
[Option 3: Shake your head and deny 'No, love always blinds people, it's not your fault.']
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Long Qingyu Favorability +10, triggers subsequent dialogue.)
[Option 4: Freestyle: You can hold this option and speak.]
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Favorability increases or decreases based on your words.)
Looking at these options, Chen Xuan hesitated for the first time. To play it safe, the third option was naturally the best.
But it had to be said, the freedom in this game was too high. If it were in other aspects, Chen Xuan wouldn't have any extra actions,
However, when it came to dealing with women, not to mention Chen Xuan's own combat experience, even the modern society's melting pot had given him quite the theoretical knowledge!
Moreover, the Defy Heaven and Change Fate prompt just mentioned that the final encounter reward was completely random, depending on the final favorability to obtain the reward.
Defy Heaven and Change Fate, what does it mean to Defy Heaven and Change Fate?
Naturally, it means finding a way to achieve the best outcome! And the responses given by the system were too bland.
People who have been betrayed are the easiest to take advantage of.
After making his choice, Chen Xuan finally made up his mind, held down option four, and began to speak into the microphone with great immersion:
"You're not foolish!"
"You just trusted someone you thought would be with you for a lifetime too much. That's not foolishness; it's because the sincerity you had when you chose him was too deep!"
"The pity is, he wasn't worthy of that sincerity. This isn't your problem; it's his loss."
"If you had met someone who truly understood and cherished you, you wouldn't need to ask 'Am I foolish?'"

"Stop punishing yourself for his mistakes. What you need to think about now isn't 'Am I foolish?' but how to reclaim that part of you that gave everything, and take good care of yourself..."
Chen Xuan released the button, secretly lamenting.
Generally speaking, at this point, after saying all this, you could invite the other person out for a drink or a drive, and end up spending the night together.
Unfortunately, although this game was magical, it was still a damn text game at its core.
So it had to end here.
[In the vast ruined temple, only the crackling of the last burning fire remained.]
[You were also a bit nervous, unsure if you had said something wrong.]
[For a moment, the atmosphere in the ruined temple was a bit quiet.]
[Just when you couldn't hold back and wanted to speak,]
[She exhaled, looking at you.]
[In the dim firelight, you couldn't see her expression or eyes.]
[But you could hear the change in her voice:]
["The only one who understands me is you."]
[Long Qingyu's favorability towards you +20, total favorability: 40 (Confidante).]
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up,
Goodness, this approach really worked.
However, it seemed this was a one-time thing.
The reason was simple: in the subsequent dialogue, the increase in favorability slowed down significantly.
Whether it was the system-provided responses or Chen Xuan's own phrasing, most only increased favorability by 1-2 points.
Clearly, the higher the favorability, the harder it was to increase.
And after reaching this so-called 'Confidante' level of favorability, it became quite troublesome.
Without any substantial progress, wanting to go further was undoubtedly difficult.
But Chen Xuan didn't give up.
Finally, through his efforts, the favorability before him changed once more:
["Rather than staying together in hardship, it's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes..."]
[She murmured the words you had said, her eyes growing brighter...]
[Long Qingyu's favorability towards you +1, total favorability: 50 (Friends of Complete Trust).]
Enough!
Chen Xuan exhaled, not to mention, the final response option didn't even have a favorability increase option, so it was only through his own response that he had this slight increase opportunity!
Now, with the favorability level rising again, it seemed it had reached the limit of this encounter!
And indeed, Chen Xuan's judgment was correct:
[That night seemed to pass quickly in your idle chat.]
[The fish-belly white of dawn gradually illuminated the entire sky.]
[The campfire, emitting white smoke, finally lost its last function.]
[The woman glanced at the sky outside the ruined temple, showing a knowing look.]
[She stood up, stretching lazily.]
[In the sunlight streaming through the broken window, you saw her incredibly voluptuous figure.]
[She reluctantly turned her head:]
["It's dawn, I should be going..."]
[You didn't speak, just nodded silently.]
[Instead, she looked at you, thought for a moment, and said:]
["Do you want to come with me..."]
[She didn't finish her sentence, shaking her head:]
["Forget it, after chatting with you all night, I know you're a person with pride."]
["Rather than staying together in hardship, it's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes..."]
["But if you ever pass by Lin'an, come find me! Big sister will treat you to a drink!"] Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
["My name is Long Qingyu! And you, my wild ghost young hero?"]
[She said her name, and you didn't hesitate, revealing your name:]
["Chen Siming, Siming as in 'to manage,' and Ming as in 'fate'..."]
Looking at the text before him, Chen Xuan pursed his lips, wishing he could slap himself. His toes could dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
One was regretting the overly adolescent ID he had chosen,
The other was the slightly proud and confused persona he had set up to gain favorability.
This woman clearly wanted to take him away to be a gigolo!
Why the hell did you have to act all high and mighty?
In reality, Chen Xuan wouldn't sacrifice his dignity to be a gigolo, but this was the world of Martial Dao!
However, it was obvious that there was no turning back now.
[Your name made her pause slightly, then she burst into laughter:]
["Pfft... Is this the name you gave yourself, having no parents? Hahahaha..."]
[You looked at the laughing woman, feeling helpless.]
[The laughter finally subsided after a while, and Long Qingyu's expression turned serious:]
["I'm not a physician, but I can see that your Innate physique is unimaginably weak, and the path of wandering the jianghu will be extremely difficult!"]
["However, I believe one day you'll achieve it, just like your name."]
["In case, just in case, if you can't make it in the jianghu, come to Lin'an City, big sister won't let you starve."]
[You nodded silently again, still not saying much.]
[Instead, Long Qingyu opened her mouth, finally saying:]
["Most of my martial arts aren't suitable for you to learn."]
["But you helped me a lot, and I, Long Qingyu, always repay my debts."]
["My wild ghost young hero, close your eyes."]
[You paused slightly, but still closed your eyes expectantly.]
[However, the anticipated moistness didn't land on your lips; instead, you felt a cold touch on your brow.]
[A cold finger pressed against your brow.]
[You didn't know what was happening, but you didn't dare open your eyes.]
[In the next moment, you felt your mind go blank,]
[Then, an extremely strange image appeared in your mind:]
[It was a scene of a green carp swimming vigorously in a river!]
[Then, a voice resonated from deep within your soul:]
["My martial arts are partly unsuitable for you, and partly because they don't match your sect, learning them might bring disaster."]
["However, this technique I created by combining my family's Mental Art with that of the Lu family, is perfect for you."]
["Feel it well, and remember it in your heart."]
["The fish of Jianghai, swimming from morning till night, unaware of the Dragon Gate."]
["One day, seeing the great waves rise, towering to the sky."]
["Leap, and it becomes a dragon; don't leap, and it remains a fish."]
[...]
[In such a voice, your consciousness seemed to merge with the little fish,]
[...]
[You gain the ability to ignore some martial art learning conditions through another's spiritual infusion technique.]
[You comprehend the special Mental Art 'Fish Leaping Through the Dragon Gate Art (Yellow)'.]
