39: Chapter 39 Am I hallucinating? Wu Luanluo confessed her feelings to me.

*Swish.*

Just then, a figure flashed near Li Qing, and Yue Luoyu appeared, taking Yue Luoqian from Wu Luoluo's hands.

"I need to treat Qian'er's injuries. Her leg can still be saved."

By the time Yue Luoyu's voice rang out, she had already vanished.

"Grand Elder, it was the Yuanzhong Double Fiends who stole the Moon Spirit Divine Water," Wu Luoluo transmitted her voice to the other party the moment Yue Luoyu disappeared.

She originally wanted to tell her who the Black-robed Man was, but after some thought, she hesitated.

Internal strife among the Sect's Grand Elders would only benefit other forces.

[System, I want to modify my cultivation to the Late Stage Great Perfection of the King Sealing Realm.]

[Ding! 40,000 modification points deducted. Current balance: 94,000 points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the Late Stage Great Perfection of the King Sealing Realm.]

"System, aren't you under maintenance?" Li Qing curled his lip.

[Ding! System under maintenance...]

Li Qing: "..."

You unscrupulous System.

[Very good. I've finished watching the drama at the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land; it's time to leave.]

[Maybe I should check out Tianxian Tower. It happens to be in the Yuanzhong Domain.]

What? Brother Qing is leaving?

No, I can't let him go.

"Brother Qing, let me show you around." Wu Luoluo reached out and tightly hugged Li Qing's arm.

"No, I suddenly remembered I have something very important to do. I have to go." Li Qing shook his head.

Hearing this, Wu Luoluo's little mouth pouted.

Hmph, what "very important matter"? Isn't it just to chase after the proprietress of Tianxian Tower? Mother was right; men are all big pigs' trotters.

What's so bad about me? Just because I'm the female protagonist, you avoid me like the plague.

But I don't even know what a female protagonist is.

What did I do wrong?

The more Wu Luoluo thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. A crystalline shimmer appeared in her beautiful eyes and eventually slid down.

Once the tears fell, they became unstoppable, like a flood breaking through a dam.

[Holy crap, what's going on? Why is Wu Luoluo crying? I didn't provoke her!]

[It's over, it's over. This Young Master can't stand seeing women cry. What should I do? Coax her?]

[She's the female protagonist! Coax her my foot!]

[But what if she keeps crying if I don't coax her?]

[It's over, it's over. As soon as this woman cries, why does This Young Master's heart feel like it's melting?]

[What kind of rotten habit is this?]

So Brother Qing is afraid of women crying.

Mother said that men who are afraid of women crying are all good men.

Since you're afraid of women crying, then I'll cry for you and see where you can run.

"What's happening? Why is the Sect Master crying?"

"This Grand Elder Li is too much. Our Sect Master is so beautiful, yet he's still bullying her."

"I can't take it anymore. I'm going to beat him up."

"Exactly! Even if I'm no match for him, I'm still going to give him a thrashing."

A group of Elders from the nearby Heavenly Palace Sacred Land looked at the scene with indignation.

This gave Wu Luoluo a fright. It didn't matter if they attacked, but what if Brother Qing used it as an excuse to run away?

Wu Luoluo hurriedly put her hands behind her back and waved them incessantly, signaling the Elders to leave quickly.

"What does the Sect Master mean by this?"

Some Elders were confused.

However, some Elders instantly understood what she meant and dragged those foolish ones away.

It serves you guys right that you've lived your lives as single dogs.

"Do I really disgust you that much?" Wu Luoluo looked at Li Qing, her face covered in tears.

"No, it's not that I dislike you. I really have things to do." Li Qing shook his head hurriedly.

Hmph, liar.

What "things to do"? You clearly want to chase after another woman.

I won't let you go after other women.

"Wah—"

Wu Luoluo directly wailed out loud.

Holy crap! Li Qing completely lost his cool.

[Please stop crying, my great aunt! I really can't take this.]

"I won't leave. I won't leave, alright?" Li Qing said hurriedly.

"Really?"

Wu Luoluo's tears, which had been like a dam bursting, stopped instantly.

"Really." Li Qing nodded helplessly.

"Brother Qing, I like you." Wu Luoluo looked at Li Qing with a face full of shyness.

Mother said if you like someone, you must seize them and not be indecisive.

Wu Luoluo was already extremely beautiful; at this moment, with her tear-stained face and a hint of blush, she surpassed countless beauties in the mortal world.

[Huh?]

[Am I hallucinating? Wu Luoluo confessed to me.]

[Damn, you are the female protagonist! The female protagonist! The female protagonist! Important things must be said three times!]

[The female protagonist is a synonym for trouble. I don't want to live in trouble day and night.]

[No, I have to refuse. I won't jump into a pit I know is there.]

[This is a stallion novel! There are as many beauties outside as there are carp crossing a river, and many aren't inferior to the female protagonist. I won't get involved with her.]

[I need to find an excuse.]

"But I don't like you. I already have someone I like," Li Qing said with a cold expression.

Hearing this, Wu Luoluo's pretty face instantly turned pale, and she felt as if the whole world had lost its color.

He rejected me.

Am I really that unworthy in his eyes?

[How's that? My acting is pretty good, right? With this tone and this expression, this great beauty Wu Luoluo will probably be disheartened, right?]

[It's quite a pity. If you weren't the female protagonist, I would have agreed immediately and entered the bridal chamber with you tonight.]

[To be honest, This Young Master really likes Wu Luoluo's brave personality. Rejecting you also took a lot of courage.]

Wu Luoluo, who was originally feeling disheartened, immediately gritted her teeth upon hearing Li Qing's inner thoughts.

Fine, so you do like me. You're too wicked; just now, Luoluo even felt like dying.

It's because of this female protagonist thing again.

Our cultivation is inherently an act of going against heaven. I, Wu Luoluo, don't believe I can't break the shackles of being a female protagonist.

If you want to reject me, I'll just pester you to death.

"Brother Qing, I don't care who you like. Luoluo doesn't mind any of that; I only like you." Wu Luoluo blinked her eyes.

This time, Li Qing was completely stumped.

[Wait, did you not understand or what?]

[I said I like someone else. You, Wu Luoluo, the dignified Sect Master and a favored daughter of heaven—how can you take this insult? Shouldn't you just turn around and leave?]

[And then say, "We shall never meet again in this life." Perfect.]

[Why isn't this following the script?]

[I'm breaking down. I'm really breaking down.]

"Pfft."

Wu Luoluo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hmph, serves you right for bullying me. I'll let you feel what it's like to break down too.

Wu Luoluo's mood instantly improved.

"Brother Qing, come, I'll take you to Moon Spirit Cliff to have a look," Wu Luoluo said with a beaming smile.

"No, I really have things..."

However, Li Qing's voice grew smaller and smaller. Crystalline tears reappeared in the eyes of the originally smiling Wu Luoluo, looking as if they were about to burst forth again.

[Is this Wu Luoluo made of water? How can she cry whenever she wants? Is she trying to kill me?]

"I was saying... let's not go to Moon Spirit Cliff. I want some peace and quiet (Jingjing)," Li Qing said softly.

[I can't afford to offend her. I really can't afford to offend this great aunt.]

[I'll stabilize her first, then find an opportunity to slip away.]

[As long as you don't cry in front of me, This Young Master won't be afraid.]

[I'm such a genius.]

Hmph, you want to slip away? Then let's see how smart this genius really is.

I'm taking the exam with the answers right in front of me!

Wu Luoluo gave Li Qing a playful glare.

"Who is Jingjing? Why does Brother Qing want her?" Wu Luoluo blinked her beautiful eyes.

Li Qing: "..."

This Wu Luoluo is absolutely doing this on purpose.

Why hadn't he noticed before that she was so mischievous?
