Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman

Chapter 252: Joker Ace


After pushing back Dai Xinming, Lin Qianxuan quickly returned to the Cloud Platform.

"I defeated such a formidable opponent without injury. Sister Jiang, do you think I resemble the Dragon Head?" Lin Qianxuan asked with a slight hint of pride, sitting opposite Jiang Mengli.

"You don't resemble him at all," Jiang Mengli said.

In her heart, she thought: You are just you, why imitate him?

At this moment, Jiang Mengli inexplicably found herself somewhat amusing.

Just a confused thought, yet it kept her trapped for years.

She overlooked too many things and hadn't truly enjoyed life as a person.

"Not resembling him?" Lin Qianxuan was slightly disappointed, forced a smile, and said, "Maybe I don't resemble him now, but I can become someone like the Dragon Head in the future."

Jiang Mengli didn't speak, quietly observing Lin Qianxuan, her heart touched.

He clearly always knew he couldn't be the Dragon Head, nor learn how to be like him.

Yet, for her, he was trying so hard, albeit clumsily, to imitate.

Perhaps she should respond in some way?

Even if only with gratitude...

"Want to play?" Jiang Mengli took out the video game console Lin Qianxuan gave her and asked.

"Of course!" Lin Qianxuan nodded.

They turned on the game console and started playing directly together.

It was a fighting game.

Both their reactions and hand speeds easily maxed out the limits of the game console itself.

Even though the game console was specially made by Lin Qianxuan, it was the same.

However, during play, Lin Qianxuan still "accidentally" lost several rounds.

Jiang Mengli looked at the display screen, seemingly unaware of his intentional losses, and slightly curled her lips, apparently enjoying the moment.

"Got another fight! Pause it first, let's settle the score later!"

Lin Qianxuan suddenly stood up and transformed into Escape Light, leaving.

Soon after, he returned again, with faint traces of wounds left by an Immortal Artifact on his body—unable to hide them. Although this opponent was weaker than Dai Xinming, the power of the Immortal Artifact was stronger, and he was hit slightly.

Jiang Mengli seemed not to notice, simply moved a bit closer to him.

"Open your mouth."

Suddenly, a sweet snack was brought to Lin Qianxuan's mouth by Jiang Mengli.

Lin Qianxuan was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and ate it.

The Misty Qi between them deepened again.

He clearly felt that this time something seemed different.

In the game, Jiang Mengli rejected all of his flattery, even getting angry for it, but this time, she seemed to be actively accepting it.

He pursed his lips, feeling both sweet and surprised.

"Want another?" Jiang Mengli asked, looking at him.

"How about I do it?" Lin Qianxuan asked tentatively.

Jiang Mengli hesitated for a moment, then gently opened her mouth.

Lin Qianxuan fed a piece of dessert into her mouth with a fork, and she ate it.

"Too sweet; I prefer three parts sugar," Jiang Mengli commented.

She didn't blush, nor did she feel embarrassed.

Lin Qianxuan was slightly disappointed.

Suddenly, there were white jade-like delicate fingers gently gliding across his face.

Lin Qianxuan was stunned, feeling his cheeks a bit greasy.

She smeared cream on her own cheek, then dabbed some on his nose, turning Lin Qianxuan's nose tip red.

"Hmm?"

Lin Qianxuan widened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"Clown," Jiang Mengli smiled and said.

"And yet an ace!"

Lin Qianxuan regained his confidence, eyes glistening with newfound clarity.

He understood now.

This was the key.

To give completely without expecting returns!

Not to scheme but simply to care!!

When he truly put aside all ulterior motives, true heart connecting with true heart, without barriers, can finally touch together!!!

True love merely desires the other's well-being...

This was something Lin Qianxuan absolutely did not acknowledge; to him, it seemed a bit too much like a clown or an admirer.

He always believed in reciprocity, thinking that if his affection didn't get reciprocated, there was no need to continue, so he never succeeded in the games.

Only at this moment, when he saw no progress bar of conquest, no longer considered whether there was a response, just sincerely wanted to accompany her through it all, help bear this calamity together, she was moved.

Fact proved, mutual sincere feelings were absolutely not taken for granted.

If there was any being ignored, it could only mean your love wasn't sincere enough, or you chose the wrong person.

Just as Lin Qianxuan was about to smear Jiang Mengli's face with cream as well, new energy struck again. His expression turned harsh, gathered up the cream on his cheek with his fingers, swallowed it, and swiftly fled.

Soon, a tremendous energy fluctuation erupted in the sky, blowing waves toward the Cloud Platform side, stopped by Jiang Mengli with a wave.

She held her cheek, watching the sky, awaiting his return.

"Ace, huh? Such a silly younger brother!" Jiang Mengli muttered.

If he weren't silly, he wouldn't have come over knowing there was no hope.

.....

After Lin Qianxuan defeated the opponent again.

The many hidden Immortal Monarchs in the void realized something was amiss.

"He seems to have some special means; fighting till now, he hasn't shown signs of exhaustion."

"Being a reincarnated Immortal Monarch, it's normal to have some foundation."

"Probably a true Immortal Monarch is needed to push him to his limits."

"No need, a revived Immortal Artifact would suffice. Does any Immortal friend wish to revive their Immortal Artifact to achieve this great feat?"

"I'm merely at the Great Dao Heaven Ten; have little foundation..."

"I'm poorly furnished, can't afford it!"

Of course, none of the Immortal Monarchs were foolish, knowing who pushes matters too far might lead to trouble.
