NOVEL NEXT Chapter 185: Chapter 180: Fu Lin... Is Already Dead!
Fu Lin, watching the two chat below, rested his chin on his hand in thought. He was all too familiar with this scene.
Thinking of this, Fu Lin turned to head down the stairs, planning to explore the Eternal Paradise alone. If he remembered correctly, there was an amusement park somewhere...
But before he could take a few steps, an unexpected system mission interrupted him.
[Mission Triggered!]
[Greet Raiden Mei by saying: "Hello~ Mei-san, please take care of me from now on."]
-------------------------------
"This triggered a mission already?"
"What's the mission reward?"
Fu Lin stopped in his tracks, looking at the mission requirements on the system screen. He had a feeling there was a trap waiting for him, especially since the mission rewards were not displayed.
I'm not doing a losing deal.
[After completing a certain random number of missions, rewards will be given based on completion level.]
Fu Lin stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Random missions... Alright, I'm in!"
He then slowly looked up at the two people chatting enthusiastically below, imagining himself leaping over the wall in one fluid motion and making a cool landing that would definitely command the scene.
Thinking of this, Fu Lin didn't hesitate and acted immediately.
After flipping over the wall with one hand and jumping down, he looked at Mei and Elysia below, with one hand in his pocket and the other two fingers pressed against his forehead.
Although the pose was stylish and imposing, the final outcome left Fu Lin quite displeased.
The two who had been deep in discussion noticed the extra shadow on the ground and simultaneously looked up. Upon seeing Fu Lin, Elysia suddenly remembered that she had left someone behind.
Mei's expression stiffened, "That is... Hua?"
Elysia flashed a barely noticeable mischievous smile, "Oh dear, I was so caught up in chatting with my dear Mei that I completely neglected Fu Lin."
"He fell from such a high place. Will he be okay? I didn't sense any power from him at all... He seems just like an ordinary person."
Hearing this, Mei suddenly grabbed Elysia's shoulder, her gaze sharp as she asked, "Elysia, what did you just call him?"
Elysia looked at the agitated Mei, her fairy-like ears twitching slightly as she narrowed her eyes, "Mei, you should be gentler with girls, you know?"
"Hua isn't here right now, you see~" Hearing this, Mei let go of Elysia, looking at the figure in the air. A fleeting darkness passed through her eyes before she leaped forward and caught the still free-falling Fu Lin.
"..." Fu Lin stared blankly at the sudden appearance of Mei, blinking in confusion. It wasn't until they landed that he realized his cool entrance was completely ruined, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Elysia, always eager to stir up the excitement, clapped her hands and grinned, "Mei, that was so cool! Is this the classic beauty-saving-the-hero moment?"
"I want to be princess-carried by Mei too!"
[Please quickly say the line: 'Hello, Mei-san. Please take care of me from now on.']
"Hello... Mei... san..."
[Please say it smoothly and with emotion.]
I really can't bring myself to say it properly right now!
Fu Lin covered his face, not daring to look Mei in the eye. Her gaze felt too complicated, almost overwhelming.
[Countdown: One minute. If the host fails to complete the task within the time limit, the mission will be considered a failure.]
[59]
[58]
[57]
Hearing the countdown in his mind, Fu Lin let go of his face, stretched out his hand with an awkward smile, and said, "Hello~ Mei-san, please take care of me from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei trembled slightly, let go of him, and stepped back a few paces. She looked at Fu Lin, who had landed on his backside, grimacing in pain, and her lips parted slightly.
[Mission complete. Please wait for the next task.]
"Hiss~" Completing a mission is really not easy... My body feels like it's split in two.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Elysia stopped clapping and quickly stepped beside Mei, asking, "Mei~ Are you surprised? Is it unexpected?"
Mei looked at the 'Hua' in front of her, whose demeanor and movements were identical to Fu Lin's. She seemed dazed for a moment, then shook her head and denied it.
'It is a bit unexpected, but...' Please tell me this is fake!
She then turned to Elysia, her eyes filled with coldness, as she pointed her blade at her and questioned, "Elysia, what are you trying to do? Are you making Hua pretend to be Fu Lin just to provoke me?"
Elysia gently pushed the blade away with a look of disbelief, "Oh my, how could you think that? Who turned you into this?"
"The person in front of you is real, no doubt about it. Although I don't know where he came from, the one you love is right here before your eyes. What are you afraid of?"
Mei's eyes darkened as she shouted at Elysia, "Enough, Elysia! Maybe I did hide some things, which led you to misunderstand."
"Fu Lin... is already dead!"
"I killed him with my own hands. To this day, I still can't forget the feeling of his heart beating in my palm..."
Mei bit her lip, her slender hands clenched tightly. Looking at the stunned Elysia, she lowered her gaze, her heart filled with silent sorrow and thought.
'Even though I knew Fu Lin wouldn't die so easily, I understood that the moment I met him a second time. But that Fu Lin no longer belonged to me… Also Elysia, as for the Fu Lin in front of me now, he feels more like the Fu Lin I first met, but… I just don't know how to face him…'
