Weiwei casually or skillfully replied to her friends' inquiries, but Naihe never sent a message. Weiwei moved the mouse to block the 'World' chat, and everything instantly returned to calm.
The computer screen remained unchanged in its darkness, with only the faint glow around the red-clad heroine, barely outlining her figure. Weiwei stared at the screen, and slowly, a sense of emptiness arose in her heart.
The guild in the game might not mean much, but it was at least a memory, something she had invested in and found joy in. Leaving it suddenly, even without regret, inevitably left her feeling a bit melancholic.
Especially leaving in this manner.
Moreover, the system had locked her alone in a dark room at this time >o<
Weiwei was not one to overthink, but facing the silent, gray screen, she gradually felt a bit restless. She randomly clicked the mouse, maneuvering the red-clad heroine back and forth, circling several times without finding a way out. Just as she was feeling frustrated, a 'ding' sounded, and a message popped up on the screen.
'Your husband Smiling Naihe has passed the final test of the 'Lovesickness Formation.' Congratulations on completing the 'Condor Heroes' quest.'
Completed?
Weiwei was taken aback.
With the appearance of this message, the dark screen changed. Countless points of light appeared at the top of the screen, connecting into lines and slowly cascading down, dispelling the darkness and making everything around her clear.
Weiwei found herself indeed at the bottom of a cliff, surrounded by steep mountain walls. To the right was a small waterfall and a deep pool, likely the source of the water sound, with exotic flowers and plants she had never seen growing by the pool.
And Naihe descended gracefully like a deity beside her in this bright scene.
Yes, descended.
Because he was sitting on a large, snow-white bird.
Weiwei was utterly stunned by this scene. The grand entrance of the great god was almost as dazzling as an angel's descent, just missing two wings...
After a long while, Weiwei remembered to speak, unconsciously typing: 'You found me?'
As soon as she sent the message, she felt embarrassed... This question was so silly, almost like asking the obvious. But, at the moment she saw the great god, this was the first thought that popped into her mind.
He found her...
Her mood suddenly brightened.
Naihe dismounted and elegantly replied, 'Yes, sorry to keep you waiting, my lady.'
Weiwei: '>o<'
At this moment, the system quickly announced a new message under the announcement of Reed Vivian's guild departure.
'System: Smiling Naihe and Reed Vivian have completed the ultimate couple quest 'Condor Heroes,' earning one million character experience points, the title of 'First Divine Couple of the Jianghu,' and the first flying mount 'Condor' in the game.'
Undoubtedly, the 'World' chat was in an uproar again. A flying mount, wow, even 'Dreaming of Jianghu' has flying mounts!
'World [Good Rain]': Flying mount!!!
'World [Big City Small Non]': Is there only one? Is 'Dreaming of Jianghu' going to open a flying mount system?
'World [Cool Without Pants]': I want one too~~~~
'World [Road to Heaven]': Cool bro, it's not appropriate for you to ride a flying mount. People below can see everything when you fly.
'World [Cool Without Pants]': Tch, I don't mind being seen, flying is even cooler.
The topic of mounts was discussed heatedly, and of course, there was also discussion about people.
'World [yoyo1212]': I find that Reed Vivian always shines brightly when everyone thinks she's in a bad spot. Last time, it was the same with her divorce and remarriage.
'World [Rapeseed Flower]': Yes, last time when she divorced Jason Purewater, I thought she was abandoned, but she turned around and married the top player Smiling Naihe. Strong!
'World [A Ying]': Could it be that Jason Purewater was the one abandoned?
'World [Yu Gong Climbing the Mountain]': A Ying girl, you're so smart. Come, brother will take you to kill the Boss.
'World [A Ying]': Ah, blushing.
'World [Monkey Wine]': Hehe, someone is shameless.
'World [Mozart]': Hoho, someone is jealous.
'World [A Ying]': That Yu Gong brother, I'm A Ying's brother, still blushing.
'World [Monkey Wine]': Hahahahahahahaha~~
Unaware of the lively chatter in the 'World' chat, Weiwei had blocked it. Now, she was admiring the big bird with a burst of joy.
'Is this the Condor?'
A snow-white, very large bird, proudly holding its head high as she examined it. Weiwei circled it twice with delight, suddenly remembering something and said, 'No, wait.'
Naihe: 'What?'
Weiwei: 'I clearly remember that the Condor at Yang Guo's home was black. Why is this one white? It must be a bug!'
Naihe chuckled and said, 'Come, let's go for a stroll.'
The white condor carried the two of them, slowly flying towards Chang'an.
Weiwei, feeling fresh, curiously asked Naihe, 'How did you find me?'
Naihe said, 'Actually, there were hints.'
Fortunately, the game wasn't so unreasonable as to leave him without any clues. Sometimes, reaching a certain place would trigger one or two hints, like 'You found your wife's lost purse, could she be nearby?' and then he would slowly find the general location based on the hints, finally triggering the 'Lovesickness Formation.'
Weiwei was dumbfounded: 'Lovesickness Formation, could it be the legendary Five Elements Formation...'
Naihe: 'Not that mystical. Before entering the formation, the system told me the path, about one or two thousand words of hints, with ten seconds to read.'
Weiwei was shocked, partly by the system's shamelessness, partly by the great god's formidable memory, 'Did you memorize all those hints in ten seconds?'
That would be too inhuman, even speed reading isn't that fast.
Naihe was silent for a moment and said, 'I took a screenshot.'
Weiwei: '...'
Oh right, you can take screenshots, only a fool would try to memorize it... She felt foolish, her brain wasn't even working >o<
Having asked a silly question, Weiwei felt a bit embarrassed. Since she had asked almost everything she wanted to, she decided to keep quiet and pretend to be invisible. After flying silently for a while, Naihe suddenly spoke, 'You left the guild?'
Weiwei didn't expect him to bring this up, hesitated for a moment, and replied, 'You saw it, huh, yes, I left.'
Naihe said, 'That's good, stay with me from now on.'
Although it was a text chat, with no voice or expression to see, Weiwei inexplicably felt that the great god's two sentences were very casual and light-hearted. For some reason, she felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted, and the last bit of gloom dissipated. Weiwei felt a surge of boldness, 'Alright, let's roam the Jianghu together, be a pair of wild mandarin ducks ^_^'
Her words were seven parts boldness and three parts teasing, but unexpectedly, Naihe was dissatisfied, 'Wild mandarin ducks? I remember we had a proper wedding ceremony.'
Weiwei slowly typed a '>o<'
Great god, you really have no sense of humor...
Naihe said, 'Titles are important.'
Weiwei continued: '>o<'
Alright, the great god actually has a sense of humor, just a bit cold...
The condor carrying the two of them flew over Chang'an, heading towards the mountains and rivers outside the city. Weiwei looked at the vast and boundless scenery on the screen, her mind becoming more open. She thought about how she had just been upset for several minutes over leaving the guild and felt a bit ashamed.
Being unhappy over such people and things was really not worth it, it was simply a waste of life. It would be better to wander around with the great god and enjoy the scenery in the game!
Even though it was scenery she was used to seeing, the feeling would be different every day. Like at this moment, she was experiencing it with an unprecedented mood.
Her thoughts drifted, and gradually, the scenery faded from her eyes. Weiwei's gaze focused on herself. On the screen, she and Naihe were sitting closely on the condor, she leaning in his arms, he holding her, the white condor, red shadow, and white clothes flying over the snowy mountains, truly giving off a sense of a divine couple.
Finally, Weiwei's gaze fell on the title prefixing Naihe's name—
Reed Vivian's husband.
This was the title Naihe had been using recently. He clearly had a flamboyant system-given title called 'Top Expert of the Jianghu,' but she had never seen him use it. Naihe wasn't someone who liked using titles, and neither was she, but...
As if driven by something, Weiwei involuntarily opened the character panel and changed her title to the one she had been too embarrassed to use, 'Wife of Smiling Naihe.'
Suddenly, a sweet feeling arose in her heart.
In the dormitory, Sally was writing a thesis, occasionally glancing at Weiwei. After several glances, she couldn't help but speak worriedly, 'Weiwei...'
'Hmm?' Weiwei responded, looking at her, her face still carrying a faint smile.
Sally, seeing the unconcealable smile in her eyes and brows, became even more worried, 'Are you, in the game, that...'
Weiwei thought she was going to advise her to play less, waved her hand nonchalantly, and said, 'Don't worry, I won't let it affect my exams, and I've finished my thesis too.'
Sally was frustrated.
Who was worried about her exams, who was worried about her thesis, she was worried about...
Sally looked at Weiwei, under the dim light, Weiwei's already stunning appearance seemed even more radiant, yet such a great beauty was smiling so brightly at a computer...
Sally sighed inwardly, Weiwei, don't you think you look like you're...
In love!
