Xie Feng opened his eyes slowly and stared at the somewhat unfamiliar light-colored ceiling. This was a habit he had acquired over the years.... Until his mind was completely clear after leaving the virtual world, he would never stand up.
After accompanying Ling Long for about forty minutes, Xie Feng disconnected from the game. During that time, he took her to two different restaurants to try different types of food, took her to the tailor store where he bought her two dresses, and also accompanied Ling Long to walk around part of Eminentis City.
The little dragon in her human form was so happy that she ran everywhere curiously looking at everything that appeared in front of her with her two big bright eyes. Although Xie Feng had given her a mask to cover her face, Ling Long"s body that was comparable to that of super models attracted the attention of men by nature so, after getting tired and angry at the perverted looks the male players were giving to his little pet, Xie Feng equipped his combat items for all to see. When the players recognized Shiva and realized that the tiny but very curvy beauty was with him, they began to avoid looking at her as if she was the wife of the devil himself.... This caused Xie Feng to not know whether to laugh or cry.
After clearing his mind, Xie Feng stood up and walked out of the room that had been prepared for him.
Although the Gu Family"s house was big, it was not big in exaggerated size; therefore, after walking for a while, Xie Feng arrived at the living room. There stood Gu Pojun, Fang Yanran, Gu Qianxue, and Xie Yao. As for Shen Xinya and Yin Yue.... There was no sign of them.
It was only after some thought that Xie Feng remembered that Xie Yao had told him in the morning that Shen Xinya and Yin Yue had left as soon as they woke up to the hotel they had booked. Xie Yao also told Xie Feng that Shen Xinya promised to see him again tonight, on Yao Mei"s birthday.
While Xie Feng stood at the entrance of the living room, reflecting, the people sitting in the room watched the television interestedly.
A video was playing and, although there was a lot of chaos making parts of the video difficult to catch clearly, it was very easy to understand what the video was about.... Especially for Xie Feng, since he was one of the main characters.
What was played on the screen were fragments of the defense-attack war that happened not so long ago. At each gate, there were several players with lifestyle cla.s.ses and non-combat skills who took the trouble to record the battles that broke out around the city.
Xie Feng saw the snow monsters causing chaos due to the players losing a lot of mobility as they approached, he saw Unsurpa.s.sed Defense being killed by the b.l.o.o.d.y Eyes Mutated Ape, he saw the Empress of Fire Yao Mei releasing a high-ranked attack spell that could be cla.s.sified as a forbidden spell and slaying thousands of monsters.... And, of course, the final scene in which he faced the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon could not be missed.
BOOOOM!!!
A loud booming sound came from the screen everyone was watching and a hiss escaped from Gu Pojun"s mouth as he watched wide-eyed as the five-meter tall giant beast was sent flying by Xie Feng"s final attack.
"Not bad, kid." After the video ended, Gu Pojun talked without looking back.
Xie Feng smiled softly and walked over before sitting down on a nearby sofa, "Well, although that was my strongest attack and the price to pay for using it is to weaken me for several hours. To be honest, if it wasn"t for the boss falling after that attack, I probably would have been defeated and killed by that beast."
"Maybe." Gu Pojun nodded. "But... How many people in the world can face a high grade beast and being surpa.s.sed by 11 levels like you?"
While Gu Pojun and Fang Yanran looked at him with praise on their faces, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue had proud faces and playful smiles. As for Xie Feng, he shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
At least, he did not currently believe that another person could do the same thing he did. After all, to defeat the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon Xie Feng had to use all of his powerful skills, including Gale Track. Gale Track was a skill that could only be obtained after mastering the wind and acquiring the t.i.tle of a G.o.d... That was how difficult that battle was, although it only ended after five blows.
Suddenly, Gu Pojun narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Feng with a somewhat dangerous look, "By the way, don"t you have something to tell me?"
"Em?" Xie Feng blinked in confusion.
However, when Xie Feng looked at Gu Qianxue for help, he saw that she had her face hidden in her hands, but even that could not hide the blushing in her ears.... What happened? Xie Feng questioned.
Bang!
Gu Pojun suddenly banged the table in front of him, which made the three women jump in fright.
"You think you can kiss my daughter in front of hundreds of thousands of people and still play hide and seek with me?"
Hearing what Father Gu said, Xie Feng suddenly enlightened and understood what was going on. After using her two most powerful skills, Gu Qianxue overwhelmed and humiliated a boss who was several levels above her own at the time; excitedly, the beauty couldn"t help but run up to Xie Feng and kiss him to express her joy, forgetting in the process that there were people recording everything.
It was naturally impossible for Gu Pojun not to know about something so important.
Xie Feng looked Gu Pojun in the eyes for a moment before standing up and doing something that surprised everyone.
"Please let me continue to be your daughter"s bodyguard. Allow me to protect her for all her life." Xie Feng bowed ninety degrees and looked at Gu Pojun, "In return, I promise to make her happy for all eternity."
The least surprised were Fang Yanran, Gu Qianxue, and Xie Yao. Fang Yanran did not know Xie Feng"s personality, but Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue knew that although he was extremely proud and arrogant, he was also a polite person to those who deserved it.... Of course, Gu Pojun, who was the father of Gu Qianxue, one of the women he loved, deserved so much respect. Therefore, it was natural for him to bow like that.
However, Gu Pojun was so surprised that his mouth opened and closed several times not knowing what to say. He was prepared to give his daughter a big sermon, after all, for better or worse she was already engaged. Gu Pojun had also prepared to have a talk with Xie Feng, but now, seeing the att.i.tude of him, who was usually arrogant as h.e.l.l, acting so submissive, Gu Pojun did not know what to say. In the end, only a few words came out of his mouth:
"Brat, aren"t you being too arrogant to talk about "Eternity"? We humans can"t live for all eternity..."
Gu Qianxue stood up and as if her eyesight problem was a joke, she rushed to Xie Feng and hugged him in front of all her family. Then, she turned her face in the direction of her family and said in a soft but firm voice, "Dad, Mom.... Don"t blame him. I really fell in love with him, I want to be with him for the rest of my life."
Seeing her daughter acting in a way she had never seen before, Fang Yanran was dumbfounded, "This.... Qianxue, how can you fall in love with him just like that? You"ve known him for less than a month!"
"I know!" Gu Qianxue shouted and then talked in a whisper, "I know.... But I can"t explain it.... Every part of my being screams not to walk away from him.... Every fiber of my soul calms and trembles with joy when I am beside him.... I cannot describe it in words, but I am telling the truth!"
"This..." Husband and wife looked at each other with a stunned look, not knowing what to say about it.
At this moment, Gu Pojun felt like crying but there were no tears for him to shed. Who would have thought that by sending his daughter to create strong friendships, he would end up actually sending her into the lion"s den? Wasn"t this the same as trying to catch a bird but instead of catching it you lose the rice in the process?
Suddenly, something seemed to click in Gu Pojun"s mind and he looked at Xie Yao: "And you? Are you okay with this, kiddo?"
Xie Yao had been silent the whole time, sitting with elegance and a small gentle smile on her face. When she heard Gu Pojun"s question, she quietly stood up and walked to the opposite side of Gu Qianxue, next to Xie Feng. Under the surprised gaze of the husband and wife pair, she held onto Xie Feng"s free arm and looked at Gu Pojun.
Xie Yao"s response was more than obvious.
Looking at her daughter clinging to a man"s arm, acting affectionately with him, and seeing that she was willing to share it with another woman, Fang Yanran almost fell off her seat.
However, Gu Pojun"s gaze changed completely.
