Chapter 387: Chapter 386: Is This Even Possible?
Li Jingjun was actually still a bit confused.
It was just a short seclusion, and she didn’t expect Xu Lingjun to suddenly appear.
And he came with a string of new identities...
She wasn’t too surprised about the honorary academician title. After all, when she was in Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, seeing Zhang Zhiheng’s level of attention towards Xu Lingjun, it was only natural they’d find a way to give him an honorary academician title to win him over.
But what’s up with him being the Supreme Elder of the Cuowu Sect?
Didn’t Xu Lingjun kill a person named Marquis Xia Wu from the Cuowu Sect?
And he even had a dispute with the Cuowu Sect’s Vice Sect Leader... Although they eventually reconciled, how did he manage to leap over everyone in Cuowu Sect?
But regardless of what happened.
Li Jingjun currently felt so happy that she almost floated to the sky.
It was just a brief seclusion and she hadn’t achieved her goals yet. Her grandmother interrupted her rhythm, asking her to properly accompany the fiancé chosen for her.
Before she could resist.
Her grandmother said that Xu Lingjun was about to head to the Polar Star Battlefield, and maybe he wouldn’t return. She suggested accompanying him while she could.
Then Li Jingjun was dumbfounded.
Even though she clearly saw Xu Lingjun now, she was still at a loss, feeling as if she were living in a dream.
Until the moment they both logged into a game on their phones.
With the familiar opening sound in her ears, she returned to being the Li Jingjun she used to be.
Being suppressed at home for so long, she hardly even had the chance to touch her phone...
Now seeing Xu Lingjun again, she could finally pick up her beloved phone and use her finger speed, which made Xu Lingjun quite delighted, to swiftly control her character in battle.
After all, she was just a young lady in her late teens who had been suppressed for too long; deep down, she was still a playful girl.
After a game, Xu Lingjun’s face was full of a wry smile. Seeing Li Jingjun completely engrossed with her phone, he felt like the girl snuggled beside his leg had turned into a lazy kitten, making him itch to pet her for a while.
She wasn’t like this before, but now she’s so addicted to gaming...
She was clearly really stifled.
They played five games.
Xu Lingjun was a bit bored now. If it weren’t for her superb finger speed, it would have been less pleasant to watch. But since they kept winning, clinging to this thigh was quite comfortable.
But after finally reuniting, would they just stay stuck in bed, only playing games?
"As the host, is this how you entertain a guest?"
Xu Lingjun felt a bit speechless.
"I’ve been so stifled."
Facing Xu Lingjun, Li Jingjun could easily show another side of herself.
She complained to Xu Lingjun, "I feel like I’ve really deteriorated. After returning from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, I feel the life at the Li Mansion doesn’t suit me, eating only plants that enhance the body, and in order to retain their Spiritual Qi, they must be boiled. Every day besides eating is sleeping... I really don’t know how I used to endure it."
She exclaimed, "I want to eat hot pot, I want to play games, I want to go out and fight Demon Beasts."
"Then take me out for a walk."
Xu Lingjun smiled, "You’re the host, and rare is the visit of your fiancé, is this how you’ll treat me?"
Li Jingjun’s pretty face turned a bit awkward at his words, "Right now?"
She hesitated, "But I have a curfew, unless I’m accompanying her in some activities, I can’t leave the house."
Xu Lingjun smiled, "Don’t worry, your grandmother initially wanted to have our wedding immediately. It was only through my relentless efforts and reasoning with her that we set a three-year plan. As long as I achieve merits befitting a Deputy Commander within three years, we can get married."
Li Jingjun’s bright eyes widened as she asked, "You’re saying we were supposed to get married immediately, and you managed to push our wedding three years back with your efforts?"
"That’s a long story, I’ll explain it slowly to you later... In short, if I take you out, your grandmother won’t stop us, you’ve never had such experiences, have you? I’ll take you through them all... Besides, I want to see the place where you grew up."
Li Jingjun said bashfully, "But I’ve never gone shopping, if I want to go somewhere, I’d have to call a cab to find the place."
"Never mind, I know the way."
Xu Lingjun thought to himself, in these two days I’ve been idle, I had Xiaoya memorize all the routes in Yuzhang City... Otherwise, with its twists and turns, we might not make it back.
"Perfect, if grandma doesn’t stop us, it’s even better."
Li Jingjun smiled, "Honestly, I’ve looked online about what normal couples do, and found things like shopping together, watching movies, eating, going to amusement parks, and staying at hotels, but we haven’t done any of those. Instead, you’ve done a lot of things to me that are beyond what couples usually do. I suddenly feel like my life and even my love life are lacking."
"Great."
Xu Lingjun’s eyes lit up involuntarily, he smiled and said, "Honestly, I always wanted to take you out to have fun, but you only focused on improving your cultivation..."
Li Jingjun glanced lightly at Xu Lingjun, whispering, "If I didn’t satisfy grandma, she wouldn’t allow me to choose my own husband."
Xu Lingjun was momentarily stunned before realizing why after their relationship was confirmed, Li Jingjun was still so diligent in her cultivation – besides accompanying him, her focus was training, preparing even then.
"Let’s go for a walk, staying cooped up at home is no fun."
He pulled Li Jingjun to her feet, put on shoes, and headed out.
On their way...
Pang Hu meowed plaintively from the foot of the bed, got up, seemingly wanting to follow.
Along with Daxiong, who crawled out from the nearby nest, looking at Xu Lingjun full of expectation.
Xu Lingjun glanced at Daxiong, whose body had grown, becoming even larger than a wolf, waved, "Forget it, none of you are coming, it’s just us two."
"Meow!"
Pang Hu let out a frustrated cry, pouncing at Daxiong, smart as it was, it knew who had caused its plight.
A brawl ensued between the leopard and the cat.
After a while, the two cats lay on the ground, gasping, in a seemingly deadlocked, mutually defeated state.
Meanwhile, Li Jingjun and Xu Lingjun had long since left the Li Family.
This time... indeed, no one stopped them.
At the gate.
No need for a personal car... they just called a cab by phone.
Sitting in the car.
Xu Lingjun whispered to Li Jingjun, explaining his tactical battle with Li Fufeng, listening to which made Li Jingjun’s eyes redden, full of envy and admiration as she looked at Xu Lingjun.
When had her grandmother ever been so kind and gentle to her?
Reasoning...if she ever had half a different opinion, the whip would be cast upon her.
There was no way to reason.
From the front, the driver couldn’t help glancing repeatedly at the perfect couple in the back seat.
After a while, he finally couldn’t hold it, asked, "Miss Li."
"Yes, I’m here."
Li Jingjun responded, "Do you need something?"
"No... there’s no need to be formal, I saw you on TV back in the day, can’t believe how you’ve grown."
The driver sighed in apparent satisfaction, looked toward Xu Lingjun, and asked, "I’m just curious, this gentleman came out of Li Garden with you, is he your future husband?"
Li Jingjun was taken aback, the joy surging in her heart, just being asked made her feel more refreshed than a hundred ice creams in mid-summer.
She nodded gracefully, smiled, "Yes... he has met my grandmother."
"That’s wonderful, congratulations, Miss Li."
The driver glanced at Xu Lingjun again.
Xu Lingjun saw small words appear before his eyes.
[You have become Li Jingjun’s fiancé, helped the Li Family solve their succession issue, and received sincere gratitude from Liu Zhenglong, gaining the world’s Origin Will’s favor, Origin Value +12!]
Xu Lingjun: "...................."
This... this actually works?
He couldn’t help but light up his eyes, suddenly realizing this trip... might yet bring unexpected rewards.
