Verdant Cloud Sect – Main Gate
The moment Sword Saint Li Qing fixed her glacial gaze on Luo Feng, his stomach dropped like a stone.
"You." Her voice was colder than a winter's night. "That technique… where did you learn it?"
Luo Feng's System blared in his mind:
[New Mission Alert!]
Objective: Tell Li Qing, "From your future husband."
Difficulty: Hard
Reward: 50 Void Energy (Frost God) + Frost Resistance!
Failure Penalty: Freeze to death in an ice prison.
Luo Feng's eye twitched. "System, you bastard—!"
The Most Dangerous Flirtation
Li Qing's fingers twitched near her sword hilt. "Well?"
Luo Feng swallowed hard. If I'm gonna die, might as well go all in.
He flashed a grin. "Would you believe me if I said…"—he leaned in—"I learned it from my future wife?"
Silence.
Then—Li Qing's sword was at his throat.
"Wrong answer."
[MISSION COMPLETE!]
[REWARD: 50 VOID ENERGY (FROST GOD) – DEPOSITED!]
A surge of icy power flooded Luo Feng's veins. His skin shimmered with frost-resistant runes—just as Li Qing's blade slammed into his neck… and bounced off.
Li Qing: "…What?"
Luo Feng (grinning): "Guess we're meant to be."
Li Qing's eye twitched identically to his earlier.
Meanwhile, at the Zhao Estate…
Young Master Zhao, face still swollen from The Slap, raged at his father. "KILL HIM! HE HUMILIATED ME!"
Elder Zhao stroked his beard. "That 'trash' now wields Void Energy… which means he's contacted a god."
Zhao paled. "But—that's impossible! Only geniuses like Li Qing can—"
Elder Zhao smirked. "Good thing we've already hired the Death Queen to assassinate him."
Fox Spirit's 'Help' Strikes Again
As Luo Feng fled Li Qing's murderous pursuit, a mischievous giggle echoed.
Fox Spirit (popping up): "Ooooh, someone's in trouble~!"
Luo Feng: "Not. Helping."
Fox Spirit (grinning): "I am helping! I told everyone you two are engaged!"
Luo Feng: "YOU WHAT—"
[New Mission: Survive the Night After Fox Spirit's 'Announcement']
[Difficulty: Nightmare]
Li Qing's roar shook the mountains: "LUO FENG!!!"
Cliffhanger:
That night, as Luo Feng hid in a barrel of pickles (don't ask), a shadow loomed over him.
Death Queen (smiling sweetly): "Hello, fiancé."
Luo Feng: "…I'm dead."
