"You wouldn't... fall in love with a certain male NPC, would you?"
Hearing Lin Jichen's question, Chu Hongling's pretty face turned red, but she did not deny it.
This is tantamount to a disguised admission.
Lin Jichen's expression was a little strange, and he said with disbelief: "You want to fall in love with an NPC?"
When Chu Hongling saw that Lin Jichen had spoken out, she simply confessed.
"Well, I've fallen in love with an NPC, and I want to try... to date him... It's just an NPC anyway, just like the two-dimensional world, so it doesn't matter."
"But it's so hard to increase your favorability. I heard that you and the female NPC from your sect hugged each other and the other party even kissed you. Is that true?"
Lin Jichen was embarrassed for a moment: "Yes...yes."
Chu Hongling's beautiful eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly: "Then can you teach me? How to quickly gain a good impression."
"How can I teach you this? Each NPC has a different personality. What is your charm value?"
"92."
"It's pretty high. How good is your friendship with him?" Lin Jichen asked.
Chu Hongling sighed and said: "It's only 15 o'clock, and we can only have a good chat."
"That's a bit low. Can I ask, who do you like?" Lin Jichen was curious.
Chu Hongling replied sheepishly: "Our abbot's direct disciple of Tianyin Temple is also our senior brother, Shengyuan."
"Fuck! Him?"
Lin Jichen was stunned, Sheng Yuan, he knows this person.
Previously at Ji Hongyue's birthday banquet, he threatened to challenge him as a hypocritical monk who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
This guy also wanted to snatch Ji Tongyin from him and become the quick son-in-law of the Qianlong royal family, but unfortunately neither Ji Tongyin nor Ji Hongyue took a fancy to him.
"Do you know him?" Chu Hongling asked in surprise.
Lin Jichen nodded, but did not say anything bad about Shengyuan.
But suddenly, Lin Jichen seemed to have a flash of lightning passing through his mind, remembering something!
In her previous life, Chu Hongling gave up Buddhist practice, escaped into the devil's path, and transformed from a saint into a witch.
No one knows the reason, but Lin Jichen once heard a rumor that Chu Hongling was victimized by love and that she had been secretly in love with a Buddhist monk.
In order to improve his cultivation, the monk deceived Chu Hongling about her feelings, and finally gave Chu Hongling to another man in order to obtain a valuable treasure.
Chu Hongling became disillusioned and lost confidence in Buddhism. She resolutely escaped into the devil's path and later devoted herself to killing Buddhist cultivators.
Of course it was just hearsay, Lin Jichen didn't believe it at the time.
But now, this seems impossible.
Chu Hongling fell in love with Shengyuan, and Lin Jichen met Shengyuan again and knew that he was not a good person.
If the plot continues to develop, Chu Hongling may actually be deceived by Shengyuan in the end, and then escape into the devil's path.
Thinking of this, Lin Jichen's mind wandered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Lin Jichen? Hey, forget it if you don't want to say it. What's the point of pretending not to hear?"
Chu Hongling said slightly annoyed.
Lin Jichen came back to his senses and apologized: "No, I was thinking about something. I know the Shengyuan you mentioned, and I was there..."
Lin Jichen originally didn't like to gossip behind others' backs, but in order for Chu Hongling not to be deceived, he had to become a "venomous tongue woman" for once.
Lin Jichen told everything that happened at Emperor Ji's feast.
Chu Hongling was very shocked after hearing this and said: "He told me that he is a disciple of Buddhism and will not talk about feelings with ordinary hearts."
Lin Jichen was speechless and said: "Let me show you. He knows that Emperor Ji is looking for a son-in-law, so he doesn't know how active he is."
Chu Hongling was still in disbelief and said: "Aren't NPCs just data? Why would you lie to me?"
In her opinion, since the NPCs of the righteous path must all be good people, and the NPCs of the demonic path must all be bad people, isn't this unreasonable?
Lin Jichen sighed and said earnestly: "You can understand that this game is too real. Every NPC has flesh and blood and different personalities. There are villains and gentlemen, bad guys and good guys. Not all righteous monks are good people.
It doesn’t mean that all demon cultivators are bad people, there are differences.”
"That's it... If this is really the case, this Shengyuan is too disgusting. I was almost deceived out of love by an NPC. Can you believe it?"
Chu Hongling pursed her red lips lightly, pouting in anger. When she did this action, she was not only cute, but also more naturally charming.
Speaking of this, Chu Hongling said angrily: "I originally wanted to say that I have always been single in reality. Is it okay to find an NPC in the game to have a virtual love? Who knew I found a hypocrite... I was so angry.
!”
Lin Jichen suggested, "It's okay. Just keep your eyes open and find a better NPC in the future."
"Farewell, I have completely lost interest in dimensional love. I would rather die alone than find another one." Chu Hongling swore.
Lin Jichen smiled and said: "You just believe me so much? What if what I say is false?"
Chu Hongling rolled her eyes and said: "Why are you lying to me about this kind of thing? What's the point of arranging an NPC? Besides, I was just on a whim and I was very curious about dimensional love."
"In addition, I saw you dating a female NPC. I thought it was interesting, so I wanted to try it. It's just fresh and fun. Do I really want to get married and have children with a virtual data? I'm not a fool."
Lin Jichen smiled bitterly. If she knew that the two worlds would merge and these NPCs would actually appear, would she still think so?
In her previous life, Chu Hongling probably pursued Sheng Yuan out of fun at first.
Because it is extremely difficult to increase the favorability level, it took Chu Hongling several years to increase it.
Then she encountered the fusion of worlds, and Shengyuan really came to this world. Under his false love, Chu Hongling fell in love completely.
Because Chu Hongling's escape into the devil's path only happened after the world merged.
Lin Jichen speculated that this should be the case. I am not sure 100%, but 70% certain that this is the plot he imagined.
But no matter what, at least he didn't make Chu Hongling lose affection for Shengyuan, which might save her from making the same mistake again.
"Damn it, you damn bald man, when I get to the next level, I'm going to beat you up!"
Chu Hongling said angrily.
For the first time in her life, she liked a game character and found out that he was still a scumbag. How could she not be angry?
Seeing Chu Hongling's crazy look, Lin Jichen couldn't help laughing. This girl is actually quite cute.
"Okay, isn't he just a game NPC? If I meet him at the next Immortal Ascension Conference, I will definitely beat him up for you." Lin Jichen consoled him.
"How is it possible? Aren't only players participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference?" Chu Hongling said.
"That is the external competition. The top 100 will enter the internal competition. Then they will compete with all NPC disciples. The rewards will be very generous." Lin Jichen revealed.
"Really? That's great. Then I have to meet him and beat him up!" Chu Hongling was eager to give it a try.
The two of them chatted and rushed on their way, but they didn't feel bored at all. Instead, they felt that time flew by quickly.
