Although they were already married, Vivian defined her relationship with Naihe as follows.

The Great Master and the Follower.

= =

Of course, Naihe was the Great Master, and she was the Follower, always at the forefront of slaying monsters and running errands... As for why Vivian had such an understanding, it was naturally because of that set of celestial equipment.

Taking something for free felt really awkward >o<, so Vivian decided to work hard to repay the debt!

Life after marriage wasn't much different. Most of the time, Vivian still did tasks and leveled up with George Yu Climber and Monkey Wine, but occasionally she would break away from the team with Naihe to enjoy some couple time.

And the so-called couple time was actually just doing couple tasks.

In 'Dreaming of Jianghu', after male and female players get married, three couple skills are randomly generated. If the couple fights together, these three skills have a certain chance of being automatically activated. The upgrade of these skills mainly depends on the couple's intimacy, which can be increased by either sharing a room, which is quite awkward, or by doing couple tasks, which is the fastest way.

Actually, male and female players can get married at level 30, so for the 'late-married' Vivian and Smiling Naihe, the early couple tasks were as easy as pie. All the battles didn't even require the Great Master Naihe to step in; Vivian could handle them all by herself.

So the common scene was a red-clad heroine charging forward, slashing away, while a white-clad musician sat leisurely by the stream under a tree, playing the zither.

...

No matter how you look at it, the scene still appeared very celestial and romantic.

On this day, Vivian and Naihe went to do tasks again. George Yu Climber and Monkey Wine, bored and idle, insisted on tagging along for the fun. As a result, in several battles, it was always Vivian who went into battle to kill the enemies, while Naihe strolled around enjoying the scenery, occasionally healing Vivian. The two couldn't help but be indignant, accusing Naihe, "You're so shameless, hiding behind your wife and gaining free experience!"

Naihe showed no shame at all, sending a sigh emoji and replied, "Once you get used to living off your wife, it becomes a habit." He even added, "You guys who don't have a wife to protect you wouldn't understand."

George Yu Climber and Monkey Wine were greatly provoked, angrily forming a team to PK with Naihe, but unfortunately, they still lost two against one, lying on the ground pretending to be dead, refusing to get up. Vivian had just finished killing the monsters and turned around, accidentally stepping over their bodies - -

George Yu Climber immediately wailed, "Sister-in-law, it's one thing not to appreciate us, but stepping on us, I can't die in peace!"

Monkey Wine: "Indeed, when a couple is united, household matters are not to be meddled with."

Vivian was speechless. These guys must have been bullied by Naihe again and turned to tease her. Once they started teasing, they wouldn't stop, so since today's tasks were done, Vivian quickly said, "I'm going to gather herbs."

She left Naihe and quickly disappeared.

Gathering herbs in the game was quite boring, just clicking to gather at designated spots and then standing there idly. While gathering, Vivian also took out her level six exam papers to work on. This year, Vivian signed up for the level six exam. Actually, someone in the dorm signed up last year, but Vivian didn't feel confident about getting an excellent grade, so she didn't sign up then.

After gathering for a while, her friend list flashed, and she opened it to see a message from Naihe, "Come to the west of Tianshan Snow Pool."

Vivian quickly ran over.

Tianshan Snow Pool was one of the highest-level scenes at the moment, with very fierce monsters, so there weren't many players. Vivian immediately saw Smiling Naihe on the west side of the snow pool, and there was another male player standing beside him, but that player was glowing green, as if under a 'Petrification Spell'.

The Petrification Spell was a very advanced and perverse spell. Once hit, you couldn't even run away, just standing there waiting to be hit until the effect wore off. Naihe's pet cat had this skill, and sure enough, as she walked over, Naihe said, "I used my pet to immobilize him, you can slowly slash him."

Vivian was puzzled, she understood slashing, but "slowly?"

"Yes, use the worst weapon, slash him bit by bit."

Bit by bit... Sweat, did the Great Master have a grudge against this person? Vivian looked at the player's ID, Darkblood Oath, it seemed somewhat familiar.

At this moment, Darkblood Oath started cursing, "Damn! Smiling Naihe! I just called you a scavenger, if you have the guts, kill me directly, what does it mean to call your woman to play with me."

Embarrassed!

Vivian remembered, no wonder this ID looked familiar, it was the one who mocked Smiling Naihe for picking up Jason Purewater's leftovers on the 'World' channel on their wedding day. At that time, she even noted his ID, thinking of slashing him whenever she saw him, but recently she had been playing too happily and forgot.

Unexpectedly...

Vivian looked at the white-clad Smiling Naihe standing aside, thinking he hadn't noticed at all, but he not only saw it but remembered it so clearly, and before this, he hadn't even mentioned it to her, as if it never happened...

Vivian reinforced her belief that the Great Master must not be offended while rummaging through her inventory.

Darkblood Oath saw Reed Vivian not moving for a long time, and hope arose in his heart, thinking that women are soft-hearted and wouldn't do anything to him. Unexpectedly, after a while, a big smiley face and a line of words appeared above her head, "Haha, found it, luckily I didn't throw away my newbie gear!"

Darkblood Oath was almost furious, watching helplessly as the heroine came slashing with a broken knife, a red damage value rising above his head—"1".

One point!

With his thousands of health points, wouldn't he have to be slashed thousands of times!

Vivian set it to auto, happily watching the red-clad heroine in the game slashing left and right, up and down, while Darkblood Oath kept cursing, but all he wanted was for Smiling Naihe to give him a quick death.

"I admit I have a foul mouth, kill me once and I'll accept it, give me a quick death!"

Smiling Naihe said leisurely, "Don't worry, you won't die, when your health is low, I'll heal you."

Vivian found it a bit strange, since Demonic Path wanted to die, why not just log off. During a fight, if a player logs off, the system will make a judgment of escape or death based on the situation. Demonic Path wasn't afraid of dying, so why stand there and let them slash?

Vivian sent a message to Naihe, "Is he too angry to think straight? Why doesn't he log off?"

Soon, Naihe's message came back, "He's doing a chain quest."

Vivian was completely speechless.

Great Master, you are truly, truly outrageous! So insidious and ruthless.

Chain quests, the most BT tasks in 'Dreaming of Jianghu' are chain quests. The BT part of these tasks is that no matter how many links you've completed, if you haven't finished the last one, you get no experience at all. However, if you complete the last link, the experience and rewards are super generous. Additionally, chain quests stipulate that players cannot die or log off midway, otherwise, they have to start over. However, after players protested too much, the system modified it a bit, allowing players to die one to three times depending on the task's difficulty, but they still cannot log off and must complete it in one go.

Vivian had also done several chain quests, and recalling, it seemed that the only one leading to Tianshan Snow Pool was the most perverse ultimate chain quest, the one with 99 links, and if she remembered correctly, Tianshan Snow Pool was the last link...
