Qin Yu's heart was still in shock.
Good heavens, did he hear that right?
Divine character talents, seriously?
[Ding, please do not doubt the system.]
[The system has always been reliable.]
Qin Yu calmed down.
He was, after all, an experienced mobile gamer in his past life.
He quickly spotted a loophole.
"You scoundrel system, is this rate-up guaranteed?"
"Won't I get a bad pull!"
[...]
Qin Yu gritted his teeth.
Playing dead again, huh?
He knew it!
[Ding, the system is perfectly fine.]
[Please draw your character experience card as soon as possible.]
[Time is limited, miss it and it's gone!]
While Qin Yu was battling the system in his mind.
In reality.
Sakura was also gazing at Qin Yu for a long time.
"..."
She slowly walked closer, wanting to get a better look at Qin Yu's face.
Although he still looked young, his eyes were full of determination.
For hundreds of years, a full hundred years.
It was the first time Sakura felt her heart fill up again.
Perhaps even she didn't realize it herself.
Her gaze was much gentler now.
She really liked this young man named Qin Yu.
After a long while, her voice still sounded indifferent, she said softly:
"You, are you willing to become..."
At this moment.
Qin Yu shivered all over and instinctively replied:
"Yes!"
"..."
Sakura let out a sigh of relief as if she had found closure and slowly nodded.
"If that's the case, then extend your hand."
Qin Yu snapped back to reality.
This darn system had frozen after the character draw.
It hadn't even told him the draw result!
Although, judging by the system's usual behavior.
The "divine rate-up" was probably just a bluff.
He'd likely end up with a bad pull anyway.
But that didn't stop him from anticipating the draw result.
Would it be the wind god Venti who could flatten mountain peaks?
Or the rock god Zhongli who could create a chasm with a single move?
Or perhaps...
As he was lost in his daydreams.
The vision before him cleared.
Seeing the slender, jade-like hand extended towards him, he was stunned.
The hand of a country bumpkin, white and tender.
Beautiful, making one want to hold it.
But...
What was going on?
Sakura slowly extended her hand, her gaze serious.
"Come."
But just as she was about to touch Qin Yu.
"Wait a minute!"
Qin Yu instinctively took a step back.
He had no idea what was happening in the outside world while he was drawing his card.
Suddenly coming to his senses, he naturally became wary.
"..."
The originally calm country girl suddenly turned cold.
Was that small step back serious?
For a moment, the atmosphere froze.
"Wait, what did you say?"
Qin Yu felt something was wrong and cautiously asked.
What important information had he missed!
"You, regret it?"
As soon as Sakura finished speaking.
Electric sparks flashed around her, accompanied by the sound of thunder.
Her icy gaze fixed on Qin Yu, beautiful yet dangerous.
Her originally tender jade hand slowly clenched.
It seemed as if she was about to beat him up.
"I... suddenly can't quite remember."
"Don't do anything, let's talk properly!"
Qin Yu retreated continuously under the pressure from the country girl.
"Shambling and timid, and you call yourself a man?"
Sakura's indifferent voice held a hint of disappointment.
She raised her hand, imbued with lightning, and brought it down directly!
"!"
Qin Yu's eyes reflected the terrifying lightning.
This country girl was serious!
He wanted to dodge.
But with a thud behind him, his heart sank.
He was forced against the tree trunk, with nowhere left to retreat.
At this very moment!
[Ding, character experience card draw results compiled.]
Compiled what? He was about to get beaten!
He had no time to bother with the system and could only watch as the lightning struck.
Slamming towards his head.
... the tree trunk beside him.
?
"Thud!"
With a thud, Qin Yu was startled.
A moment later, he seemed to understand his predicament.
He opened his mouth and faced the approaching fox mask.
That familiar scent again.
Wait, why say "again"?
It had even become familiar?
Qin Yu didn't know, he only knew one thing.
He had been... cornered...
Not only was he given a princess carry by the country girl, but he was also cornered?!
Qin Yu was dumbfounded.
The first time was an accident, but how could the second time be explained?
Was he destined to be completely dominated by this cold and aloof country girl?
He fell into a state of existential doubt.
Sakura looked at the silent Qin Yu and snorted coldly.
A hand suddenly reached out.
...
Qin Yu slowly lowered his head.
Their hands, at some unknown time, had intertwined.
The feeling was very good.
Soft, tender, and comfortable.
A bolt of lightning coursed through their joined hands.
The next moment, a prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding, character experience card received!]
