Conquer the game world

Chapter 18 Shuiying's Engagement

On the platform in front of their residence, Shui Ying blocked Ye Feng and the others' path.

Seeing this girl, Ye Feng was speechless. It seemed that his departure for a while had upset her. But he couldn't just become her cook all by himself.

Aside from Ye Feng, the others also looked grim. After all, they had all been through a lot lately, and they would avoid this girl whenever they saw her.

"Little Ye, I forgot to buy the soy sauce. I'm going to buy some now." Su Yi patted Ye Feng's shoulder and ran off at lightning speed. The explosive speed of his run made Ye Feng wonder if he was faking it when he couldn't lift the first-level Spirit Light boulder.

"Little Yezi, I have diarrhea, so I'm leaving too." Seeing that Su Yi had disappeared, Song Yu followed and made an excuse to slip away.

Seeing the two disappear into the distance, Ye Feng looked at Li Cheng and said unhurriedly, "Did your house catch fire or something? Oh no, your place is right there. Don't use such a lame excuse."

"Hehe," Li Cheng's expression remained unchanged as Ye Feng ruthlessly exposed his plan to slip away. "Little Ye, I know you. We're good brothers. I know you best. You and Wan Hai are both good people. May good people live long and healthy lives. I won't forget to burn paper money for you every year from now on. Goodbye."

Watching Li Cheng disappear, Ye Feng was so angry he almost vomited blood. Sure enough, shamelessness knows no bounds! This bastard could still run away so shamelessly even after being exposed. Now, only Ye Feng and Shui Ying were left.

"Uh... Senior sister, is there anything I can help you with? If not, I'll be going now."

"stop……"

Ye Feng, who was about to slip away with the group, dared not move forward after being shouted at. He turned around and said with a grin, "Is there anything else you need, Senior Sister?" Ye Feng comforted himself, thinking, "I won't hold it against you because you're a beauty."

"It's okay, chat with me for a while," Shui Ying said calmly.

"This... Senior sister, uh, I don't think we have much to say to each other." Ye Feng unconsciously started to get nervous. Not to mention in the game, he was facing such a willful girl. Even in the world he lived in before, he had never talked to a girl alone like this. Although he talked a big game, Ye Feng was actually a complete novice in this area.

"Hey, do you know what love is?" Shuiying suddenly asked.

"This, I, I, I don't know." Faced with this sudden question, Ye Feng became even more nervous, his mouth stammering and he answered incoherently, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with this girl today?"

“My father suddenly arranged a marriage for me, wanting me to marry that Wan Hai in two years.” Shui Ying said to herself with her head down, not knowing whether she was talking to Ye Feng or to herself. “But I don’t know that although Wan Hai and I used to play together a lot when we were little, we haven’t had much contact with each other since I grew up.”

“I don’t know what love is, I don’t know if I should obey and marry her.” Shui Ying suddenly looked up at Ye Feng. “Idiot, tell me, should I marry him or not?”

Ye Feng was completely flustered. When he saw Shui Ying look up at him, he suddenly felt his heart race and quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at her again. He thought to himself, "This girl is really beautiful."

Seeing Ye Feng turn his head away and remain silent, Shui Ying didn't say anything either, and the two of them just stood there dumbfounded.

After a while, Shuiying seemed to have calmed down. At this moment, Shuiying also felt a little regretful. She felt a lot of confusion after suddenly learning that she was to be arranged to marry. Seeing Wan Hai, who had been coming to see her often recently, although he was a very nice person and never complained when she bullied him, Shuiying felt a little choked up when she thought about marrying him.

"I must be having a really bad mental breakdown lately to come here and talk to this guy," Shui Ying told herself. Once she calmed down, Shui Ying suddenly realized she shouldn't have said these things to Ye Feng. After all, they'd only met a few times, and although she'd been eating his cooking, they probably weren't even friends. Why would Ye Feng listen to her complain about such trivial things?

"Hey, you idiot, you still haven't answered my question. What will happen to my food if you leave? Give me an explanation." In the end, Shuiying broke the awkward silence and took the initiative not to bring up the matter again.

"Well, senior sister, I can't help it either. What do you suggest?" Ye Feng's tension subsided after Shui Ying stopped bringing up the topic of love, but as soon as he heard the girl mention it again, he immediately put on a mournful face.

"I'll keep my word," Shui Ying had encountered this situation far too often when playing pranks, and she showed no sympathy for Ye Feng's feigned mournful face. "Then you'd better obediently agree to one condition of mine. As for what it is, I'll think about it later. Also, you have to cook more food for me when you get back."

"Oh, okay then." Although Shui Ying hadn't stated her conditions yet, Ye Feng quickly agreed. He wanted to get rid of this girl as soon as possible, afraid that she might change her mind. Anyway, he'd deal with the conditions for now, and who knew if they would stand by later.

After agreeing to the terms, Ye Feng quickly made an excuse to slip away. Shui Ying was too embarrassed to pester him any further, and Ye Feng successfully said goodbye and left. "Hey, you idiot," Shui Ying called out to Ye Feng's retreating figure, "I heard it's dangerous where you're going. Don't die in there! Come back alive, my chef!"

Ye Feng was terrified, thinking that Shui Ying had changed her mind and was going to cause trouble again. He begged her to just say what she meant.

Composing himself, Ye Feng deliberately didn't look back and continued walking back. He was actually afraid the girl would change her mind, but he didn't dare run. So he strode towards his lodgings, waving goodbye as he did so.

Wait a minute, why are you calling me an idiot? Am I really that stupid? Am I really that dumb? Are you kidding me, author? My IQ is over 400 degrees. I'm Ye Feng, the number one player in the game "General God". Can't you have a cool nickname?

Ye Feng didn't rush back to his own residence. Instead, he went to Su Yi and the others' residence first. As for why he went there? Need you ask? Ye Feng was going to settle accounts with these runaways later.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng saw the three people at the entrance of his residence. The three were standing together, looking at Ye Feng with ill intentions.

"What, you think I'm afraid of the three of you?" Ye Feng raised his middle finger at the three of them. "Three cowards, you actually dared to leave me alone. Tell me, how do you want this settled? I will never forgive you for each of you being worth millions or tens of millions of purple gold coins."

"Little Yezi, this is where you're wrong. Look how good the three of us have been to you, and instead of being grateful, you act like this," Su Yi said indignantly.

"Yeah, Xiao Yezi, look, we're all doing this for your own good. We've saved such a pretty girl for you, we've really put a lot of thought into it. Enough said, we're treating you to dinner tonight." The other two quickly chimed in.

"Tch, don't pretend in front of me. Don't think I don't know anything. You guys just want to run away." Ye Feng said unhappily, these guys who got the benefits and still acted innocent. "I heard that Shui Ying has been arranged to marry Wan Hai by Master Shui Xuan."

"Wan Hai is nothing compared to our Xiao Yezi. Look at our Xiao Yezi, so handsome and a great cook, right?" The crowd continued to tease her relentlessly. "Judging from the way that girl looked earlier, she's definitely interested in you. Xiao Yezi, go for it, win her over!" Su Yi urged first.

“That’s right, take her down.” The other two echoed.

"Damn it, are you trying to push me into a fire pit? What are you all up to? If you're so capable, why don't you go and do it yourselves?" Ye Feng continued to sneer. "Wait, you guys were just peeking from the side. Damn it, you're still peeking even after you've run away. You're all tired of living."

After saying this, Ye Feng rushed forward and threw punches at the three of them. Of course, Ye Feng wouldn't actually fight them; the three were just playing around.

After a bit of playful fighting, Ye Feng stopped bothering the three of them and got up to go back to his room.

"Su Yi, what do you think Ye Feng was thinking this time? Why did she go to such a dangerous place?" Li Cheng suddenly asked after Ye Feng had walked away.

"Who knows? That's why I always say this kid is absolutely brain-dead, he just had to go and court death." Su Yi said helplessly.

"Alright, stop talking. This is his own decision, so let's not interfere. Cultivation is not easy, and perhaps Xiao Yezi will gain other opportunities on this journey," Song Yu said to the two.

Finally, none of the three discussed Ye Feng anymore, but they all knew in their hearts that Ye Feng was in great danger this time. Since they couldn't help him, they could only silently mourn for the kid.

Back at his residence, Ye Feng didn't rest for a moment. He quickly entered the game interface and flashed into the Heavenly Ladder dungeon scene.

Ye Feng needed to finish today's dungeon as soon as possible. There were still a few days before departure, and supposedly there were other things to prepare. Ye Feng didn't have time to think about those things. His current priority was to quickly cultivate himself to level 15 so that he would have more resources. Although he was very confident, this place was one he had never heard of in the game. If something went wrong and he died, all his transmigration skills would be wasted.

Ye Feng was busy with various things these past few days and finally managed to cultivate himself to level 15. After reaching level 15, he could learn some new skills, and Ye Feng took the opportunity to learn a few as well.

Five days later, the token issued another summons. Ye Feng knew this summons meant it was time to depart, so he immediately prepared his supplies, used his levitation technique, and flew towards the Water Profound Palace...
