After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Under the watchful gaze of the Fourth Elder, whose eyebrows twitched wildly, the future Holy Maiden of Frostrain Valley opened her mouth slightly, her voice filled with tenderness and longing, "Senior Brother..."

Part 4. Senior Brother, let's get married!

"Senior brother..."

Jun Qianrou's voice was soft and gentle, yet it drowned out everything else in the Shi family's reception hall.

In an instant, there was complete silence.

Even a fool could hear the tenderness and reluctance in the girl's voice.

And what's with that title?

They've come to annul the engagement!?

They would believe you if you said they came to force a marriage.

Standing opposite Jun Qianrou, Shi Yan could clearly feel a tightness in his back.

It seemed as if a girl reached out her small hand, and her cool fingertips pressed against her back, lifting it upwards.

At the same time, his right hand was suddenly gripped tightly.

Beside Shi Yan, Shi Xia looked nervously at Jun Qianrou.

She knew that her brother had had several encounters with that woman.

However, Shi Xia always thought that the relationship between the two was at most just a friendship, limited to letters.

As far as I can remember, the last time Jun Qianrou and her brother met was three or four years ago.

Shi Xia thought so.

Jun Qianrou's visit this time was only to settle this marriage and then peacefully embark on the path of seeking immortality.

But... Shi Xia suddenly realized that things weren't as simple as she had imagined.

Slightly distracted, Shi Yan raised her hand to greet Jun Qianrou, "Qianrou..."

She was still a little dazed, so she used the nickname she used for Jun Qianrou in the later stages of the game.

Not right.

It's not right.

According to the normal course of the game script, Jun Qianrou is not the kind of arrogant and domineering girl who breaks off an engagement, but... she shouldn't be that close to me, the protagonist.

After the two had outgrown the age of playing in the mud together, Jun Qianrou entered Frost Rainbow Valley as a [Sword Seed], and the two rarely met after that.

The rather traditional and conservative Jun Qianrou would refer to herself as "Master" or "Young Master" in the normal game progression.

Only after the favorability rating is maxed out time and time again, and a total of five hearts are accumulated, will the title change from "Young Master" to his real name.

However, to get such an intimate nickname from the other person, you'll need to reach at least seven hearts of affection, which is equivalent to being "deeply in love."

"No way, no way..."

Having vaguely realized something, Shi Yan felt a thin layer of sweat forming on his hand as he held the girl beside him.

"Could it be...?"

"When I first met Jun Qianrou in the game, I used a cheat code to max out her affection level, and it's still affecting me now!?"

That...

It's no surprise that Jun Qianrou addresses herself this way.

Her affection for him must have reached the point of being unwavering until death.

Even if I were to say to her now, "Qianrou, would you like to cultivate together with me?"

The girl would only glance shyly at the people around her, and then answer bashfully, "Could we go inside?"

The unwavering affection between them made it impossible for the girl to refuse any request from her lover.

Even if... it's a bit excessive.

Shi Yan could see the girl's delicate white hands, which had been resting on the light blue hem of her skirt, suddenly relax under her sleeves, as if she had finally let go of something because of his address.

Jun Qianrou raised her head and revealed a relieved smile.

In an instant, it was as if the ice and snow had just melted and warm spring was about to arrive.

In the game, Jun Qianrou's charm value is "Peerless Beauty".

Aside from Shi Xia, whose "ethereal beauty" is only achievable with the blessing of "peerless beauty," this is basically the highest level that can be seen in normal gameplay.

As Jun Qianrou smiled, Shi Yan could even hear the young people in the hall pause for a moment, as if afraid that even a breath would disturb the airflow and startle the beauty.

Just then, *snap*—

The Fourth Elder couldn't help but slam his hand on the armrest of his chair, "How rude!"

"How should I address you, Fairy Jun?"

He wanted to humiliate this "prince" in front of the guests.

But before he could finish speaking, he was glanced at by the woman standing beside Jun Qianrou, whose face was veiled in black.

moment--

He seemed to see countless jagged longswords filling his field of vision, with drops of blood still dripping from their blades.

The Fourth Elder had been stuck in the late Foundation Establishment stage for many years, while his opponent was a Golden Core Peak cultivator who was two whole major realms above him.

Just by sheer force of his aura, the Fourth Elder felt he was completely immobilized. The old man's pupils had shrunk to their limit, and he was about to soil his pants.

"Junior Uncle..." Jun Qianrou couldn't bear to watch any longer and gently tugged at the sleeve of the woman beside her.

The woman then withdrew her gaze, slowly lowering her eyes. During this time, she also glanced at Shi Yan.

Body tempering, Qi refining, foundation building, crystallization, golden elixir.

She is a sword cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Back then, his Misty Rain Sword Technique was considered unparalleled in his generation, and he was invincible in one-on-one combat against opponents of the same level.

Besides resolving Jun Qianrou's engagement issue, she was also very curious about Shi Yan when she came out with Jun Qianrou this time.

It is said that a tiger father will not have a dog son.

She was deeply grateful to the young master of the Shi family, who was also her father.

Today I also want to see what the outside world is really like about the young prince who is said to be ignorant and unwilling to seek immortality.

If necessary, she wouldn't mind reminding her teacher of his words.

But... she seemed to see sword energy soaring into the sky from Shi Yan.

There's no mistake, in terms of swordsmanship talent, this child is probably even superior to Jun Qianrou beside me.

A heart of unwavering loyalty.

He...he's very good at hiding it.

If Shi Yan knew what she was thinking, he would probably just laugh awkwardly.

My kendo aptitude is superhuman, 999.

In addition, he possesses quite a few innate talents that surpass the "sword type," such as "Sword Maniac," "Sword Master," and "Peerless in Swordsmanship."

aside.

After pulling the woman back, Jun Qianrou immediately glanced nervously at Shi Yan. She looked like a young wife who had finally made a decision, afraid that her husband would be angry because of her overstepping his bounds.

Looking at the girl's pitiful expression, Shi Yan smiled gently, "Qian Rou... what brings you here this time?"

Hearing that Shi Yan still addressed her as before, and that his voice was still so gentle, Jun Qianrou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But... upon hearing the second half of Shi Yan's sentence, she immediately felt terrible, and her eyes seemed to well up with tears.

"A short letter cannot express the deep affection..." Jun Qianrou's words immediately made many people's hearts leap into their throats. "Senior Brother..."

"This time... I'll immediately enter the valley to comprehend it..."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for a long time."

"I...I..." The girl's voice was almost a sob, pitiful and vulnerable.

"I can't hold you back."

"That's why when my elder brother asked me if I wanted to break off the engagement... I said I wanted to ask for your opinion." Jun Qianrou looked at Shi Yan nervously.

She really didn't want to break off the engagement.

But just two years later, the two were about to get married, and he was chosen to enter the valley to meditate at this time.

This departure... could take many years.

It's also possible that it's gone forever.

Jun Qianrou did not want to delay her teacher's words.

As she spoke, tears streamed down the girl's beautiful face, and Jun Qianrou bit her lower lip.

The teacher's expression was complicated.

On the other side, the Fourth Elder wore a smug smile.

What's the use of saying the nicest things?

They still want to call off the engagement.

If she casually spreads a rumor, people outside won't think that Jun Qianrou broke off the engagement because she didn't want to delay Shi Yan.

They would only think that Jun Qianrou didn't want to marry this good-for-nothing.

But... the next second—

Jun Qianrou took a deep breath, sobbing, and raised her head as if she had made a big decision.

"or..."

"Senior brother..."

Let's get married tomorrow!
