Chapter 554 Do you want to repudiate?
It took Li Weidong almost half a minute to make sure that this man was not joking. In fact, the requirements of the gossip master are not difficult to understand. The central idea is that as long as you marry the saint of our dragon clan, we will regard you as your own people. In the future, you will be the boss, and the brothers will follow you. The subtext is that if you don't get married, then I'm sorry. Don't get into the internal affairs of our dragon clan in the future.
Mixed-world games are an ancient background. In fact, in the past feudal society, marriage was very common. In the eyes of most people, in-laws are also one of the relatively stable relationships, so they are often used as an effective means to gang up. Even today, political marriages are common for the benefit of family groups and in order to divide the camp to win people's hearts. Once there is the fact of in-laws, the two sides will form a community of interests to a certain extent, and both sides will be prosperous. More commonly speaking, it is equivalent to getting on the same boat. Therefore, as a descendant of the dragon clan and the vice president of the secret guild, it is not surprising to make such a request.
But Li Weidong felt a chill on his back. He knows too well the style of these dragon descendants. It's not early to be profitable. If they show generosity to anyone, it is obviously to ask for more rewards from the other party. And now these guys do not hesitate to marry the saint representing the highest authority of the Holy Dragon clan to him, and even willing to honor him as the leader. What does this mean? Is it possible... Are you really going to keep him in the game world from now on?
Yes, if you want to pull a person into a partner and make him a real person, it is undoubtedly the most direct and effective way to assimilate him. If he really can't return to reality and can only wander like a lonely ghost in this virtual world, then what's the essential difference between him and the inanimate NPCs in front of him!
He vaguely felt that a crisis was approaching, but Li Weidong had no capital to refuse at all. The taskbar is empty, the plot is deadlocked, and Shen Tian's fate is also uncertain. Even if Li Weidong knows that there is an eternal abyss in front of him, he has no choice!
"Okay, I promise you." Li Weidong stared at the gossip master and said word by word, "I swear, after the saint's soul awakens, I will marry her as my wife. I am willing to join the sacred dragon clan and promise you all the conditions!"
Li Weidong has always had special feelings for Shen Tian, like father and daughter, brother and sister, or both. It is difficult to express this feeling in a few words by bringing her to the real world with his own hands, and taking her out of the eggshell with his own hands and watching her grow day by day. It's just that Li Weidong has always regarded her as a child. He never thought that one day he would make such a vow to marry her as his wife. He always felt strange in his heart. Is it a sense of guilt or something else? It's unclear.
But this feeling is just a flash. Obviously, now is not the time to think nonsense. This is just a game. Everything is fake. Even if you get married, it's just a name, and you can't get married. What do you care about? As for swearing, what can be said casually about the vows of the virtual world?
The gossip master, the messenger and the dart master Li Er, clearly showed joy on the faces of the three NPCs. They pressed their right hand on their left chest and knelt on one knee. The gua master said, "Great hooligan aura, thank you for your generous and wise decision. You have brought light and hope to the great rejuvenation of the Holy Dragon Clan! I swear that I and all the descendants of the dragon clan will follow your footsteps for the glory of the dragon clan! Mr. Rage Halo, please follow us to the Fountain of Life now.
The transmission opened its arms and began to recite spells. As a circle of light blue mysterious runes circled up, a dazzling olive-shaped portal slowly opened. Li Weidong took back the baby Wolf God, held Shen Tian's little hand on his back, took a deep breath, and stepped into the portal without hesitation.
The so-called spring of life is likely to be the same as the Spider-Man and Longshou Village that he has been to when looking for artifacts before, which is equivalent to a derivative map of the mixed-world game, but when Li Weidong passed through the portal, he was still slightly shocked by the scene in front of him.
This is the top of a snowy mountain, towering, like a sharp sword breaking through the sky. The thick snow covered halfway up the mountain, and occasionally blue-black boulders struggled out of a snowy color, which more and more foils the mountain. On all sides of the snow peak are low mountains, as if the mortals worshipping at the feet of the gods are full of lush colors, undulating waves surging into the distance. The sky is pure and transparent blue, and there is no trace of clouds. It looks particularly high, sunny, and the sky and earth are full of vitality.
This is a thick and colorful picture scroll, which is not gentle and delicate, but highlights the grandeur and vastness of nature. Li Weidong is sure that this is by no means the snowy mountain in the new expansion where the ice melting pot is located. In his memory, no map in the mixed world is more spectacular than this. Is this the spring of life, the birthplace of the sacred dragon clan?
This speculation was soon confirmed. On the south side of the mountain, a pool of water with a radius of more than ten meters is exposed in the thick snow, which is filled with a faint fog. On such a cold snowy mountain and between the ice and snow, there is no sign of ice. The color is a kind of watercolor-like blue. There are no ripples on the water surface, and the bottom can't be seen. I don't know. Is the spring water melted by snow or gushing out of the ground?
There are many people gathered around the spring, at least forty or fifty. Previously, the gossip master said that asking Li Weidong to join the dragon clan was the decision of all the descendants of the dragon clan. This should not have lied, because these people knelt down with their right hand on their left chest and one knee at the first sight when they saw Li Weidong. It was because Li Weidong and the saint appeared here together, it showed that he had agreed to their request. That's why I greeted him in this way of visiting the leader.
What surprised Li Weidong was that there were NPC members of the secret guild among these people, such as the Wolongtan fisherman in Wangcheng, the fallen swamp antique merchant, and the villagers of Longshou Village that he had saved a long time ago, and the old white-bearded village head also came. What surprised him more was that among these people, there were also dragon guards who had been wiped out by Spider-Man, immortal holy dragons, beacon fire and angry dragons, and even the winged assassins killed by the wolf god were also on the list!
Damn it, shouldn't these guys be dead? Li Weidong almost subconsciously pulled out the blade of the flame, and the gossip master next to him quickly explained: "The spring of life can awaken the sleeping soul and bring the deceased back to life. It is through the power of spring water that the elite warriors of the dragon clan, the Iron-blooded Dragon Knights, are resurrected. Although the saint unsealed the seal of the dragon egg and was born through the shell, the power in her body has not yet awakened. When she is baptized by the holy spring, she can not only awaken the sleeping soul, but also give her the real strength of the saint.
So that's it. No wonder those dragon guards have been killed and the NPCs don't mean to hold grudges. It turns out that this spring still has such a powerful power. So what kind of power will Shen Tian get after the baptism of spring water? Is it incarnation as a dragon, or...
When Shen Tian first entered the game, her attributes were unknown but obviously very low. If she could really gain strength from the Fountain of Life, Li Weidong didn't know whether it should be a good thing or a bad thing. What he hopes most now is to bring Shen Tianping back to the real world safely, so that she can be an ordinary person, learn to live like a girl of the same age, marry a child, and live a peaceful and happy life. At the same time, he also understands that in this dangerous virtual world, low attributes such as Xiaotiantian have to face unknown risks anytime and anywhere. This time there is a spring of life that can resurrect her, but what about next time? Who can guarantee the same luck?
Untie the cloak tied to her body and gently hold Shen Tian in her arms. This girl looks like a sleeping child. Her childish face is as delicate as jelly, so beautiful and cute, so pitiful. In reality, no matter how beautiful a girl is, it is inevitable that there will be such or such a small regret, but sweetie is a pure perfection, like an extremely exquisite porcelain doll, even an eyelash and a hair seem to be carefully carved, and there is no flaw. It seems that only the virtual world can give birth to such a perfect princess. It is deplorable that fate has given her a beautiful face, but why does it make her life full of twists and turns?
Gently patted her pale cheek. Li Weidong said, "Little sweetie, my brother promised that I would always be with you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. Do you still remember that you said that you can't bear Sister Linlin and Sister Weiwei, and you have to live a happy life with them all your life. Don't make your brother sad. I'm waiting for you to wake up.
Carefully care for her long hair. According to the guidance of the gossip master, Li Weidong carefully put Shen Tian into the spring of life. But as soon as he let go of his hand, he was shocked. Xiao Tiantian's body fell directly into the bottom of the water, and even the shadow disappeared. The calm spring suddenly rolled violently as if it had been boiled. Li Weidong almost subconsciously wanted to jump down to fish for people, but the gossip master reached out and stopped him and said, "The baptism ceremony of the saint will take at least six hours. Please wait at ease. We will pray devoutly for the saint."
The NPCs around the pool knelt down one after another, put their foreheads against the ground, spread their palms up with their hands, and recited the language that Li Weidong couldn't understand. Six hours is twelve hours. Now it's a quarter to nine in the morning, that is to say, if nothing unexpected happens, Shen Tian will probably wake up at night. Although Li Weidong was so anxious that he couldn't help at this time, he could only pray for her silently over and over again in his heart.
Happy times always pass in a hurry, and the more painful the wait, the longer it will be. All day long, Li Weidong did nothing. He stood quietly next to the holy spring at the top of the snowy mountains, watching the sun climb to the zenith inch by inch, and slowly fall inch by inch until it did not enter the horizon. A bright moon rose from the edge of the sky, shed a cold light, and there was a silence between the vast world. Only the spring of life was still boiling, mixed with the low prayers of the descendants of the dragon clan.
It is getting closer and closer to 9:00 p.m., and Li Weidong is also getting more and more anxious. Although he feels that Shen Tian is unlikely to have an accident, it is impossible for relatives to wander between life and death and their lives are hanging on the line. Finally, the boiling spring calmed down, and the descendants of the dragon clan also stopped praying and looked up. Li Weidong stepped to the edge of the spring, staring at the gradually calming water, and his heart almost reached his throat.
The spring of life soon returned to its previous appearance. The calm water surface was like a mirror, reflected the moon at the zenith, but there was no shadow of Shen Tian. Time passed second by second, nine o'clock, nine o'clock, and there was still no response. Li Weidong's tears gushed out involuntarily. He raised his foot and wanted to jump down. The gossip master and several descendants of the dragon clan hurriedly pulled him.
Li Weidong grabbed the collar of the gossip master and roared, "Where's my sister? Where's my sister? How dare you lie to me..."
With a thud, a huge spray suddenly surged up in the middle of the spring, breaking the flat water surface of the water in an all of an hour. The silver-white drops of water rolled down from the center to everywhere, like a blooming lotus platform. Under the bright moonlight, a pretty figure slowly surfaced the surface, dressed in a plain white dress, with clothes fluttering, and long shawl hair flying gently, as if a fairy from the sky had come to the mortal world. Li Weidong couldn't react for a moment. He looked at the figure stupidly and opened his mouth wide but forgot what to say.
"Brother, it's me, I'm Xiao Tiantian, I, I'm still alive!"
Stepping on the layers of water waves, Shen Tian walked towards Li Weidong step by step. A charming little face smiled happily, but there were crystal tears in her eyes. It was not until she came to her that Li Weidong woke up like a dream. He quickly let go of the gossip master, pulled Shen Tian from top to bottom and looked at it from front to back. He was sure that she was still full of cold hair. She was still the perfect and lovely little Lori in the past. Then he hugged her and laughed and said, "Ha, hahaha! Sweetie, it's really you, okay, great, I..."
Before he finished saying a sentence, Li Weidong felt that his body suddenly became soft, and his eyelids kept falling down like a weight, and an unprecedented fatigue surged from his body. It has been two days and one night since he entered the game this time. Li Weidong didn't have any rest at all, and he couldn't even close his eyelids. Even with a strong spiritual bonus, he is a person and not an NPC after all. In the face of such a tense task plot, every step is thrilling and seriously overdrawn. Coupled with Xiao Tiantian's death, Li Weidong's nerves were always tense for more than ten hours. At this time, he suddenly relaxed and could no longer support it. He laughed twice and fell softly into Shen Tian's arms and fell asleep.
This sleep turned out to be rare and sweet, and even had a dream. On an unknown island, he, Yao Wei, Shen Lin and other beautiful women and Xiao Tiantian were blindfolded and playing hide-and-seek on the beach by the sea. I don't know who they hugged. Anyway, they just touched Mimi, so they rudely took back the oil. Just at this time, when he woke up, Li Weidong was embarrassed to find that he was lying in Shen Tian's arms, with his head leaning against her just-to-developed chest. No wonder he felt so comfortable in his dream just now.
"Why did I fall asleep? Where are the gossipers? Where are we now?
"Brother, don't move. It's just the two of us here. You can sleep a little longer.
Li Weidong straightened down and wanted to sit up, but was gently and stubbornly held down by Shen Tian, so he didn't insist. I looked around and found that there was no other furniture in a simple wooden house except a pair of tattered tables and chairs and a narrow wooden bed covered with hay. On the contrary, there are several animal furs hanging on the wall made of wooden boards, and a pair of rough bows and arrows, indicating that the owner of the house is probably a hunter.
"This is at the foot of the Holy Mountain. Please wait for him here and say that he has something to discuss with you tomorrow morning." Shen Tian pressed his forehead with a soft little hand and said, "Brother, are you tired? Is it so comfortable?"
Li Weidong smiled and said, "Of course, my sister massages my brother. Of course, it's comfortable. In fact, I'm not very tired, but I'm too nervous these two days... By the way, are you okay? The gossip master said that after the baptism of the spring of life, it will awaken the power of the saint's vein. What do you think now?
Shen Tian tilted her head, blinked mischievously and said, "I won't tell you."
"Ha, does that mean it feels good? You girl, you have learned to hide your heart with your brother.
"Not really. I think... Brother, if I know some, well, such as spells or something, will you think... I'm different from others and a freak?"
Shen Tian's words were a little hesitant, and her eyes were also a little dodged. It could be seen that she was not happy about the so-called strength of the dragon clan. Li Weidong patted her little hand and said, "Silly girl, just talk nonsense. You are my sister at all times. What's wrong with spells? I also have a mixed-life equipment. I don't know how many people envy it. But sweetie, I hope you can promise me one thing. No matter what kind of ability you have now, these are limited to the game world. I don't want you to bring it to reality. Because the greater a person's ability, the more troublesome it is. I think you can be an ordinary person and live a normal life like your peers. You are my sister. I just want you to be safe and happy. I don't want you to experience any ups and turns. Do you understand?
Shen Tian smiled happily, and her small nose wrinkled cutely and said, "I know." But soon his eyes dimmed again and he whispered, "But brother, do you think... can we go back to the real world?"
Thinking of this, Li Weidong felt as if there was an invisible needle in his heart. Up to now, the plot of the dragon clan has far exceeded his expectations. Even he has no definite answer whether he can return to reality. However, in reality, there are so many people and things that he can't let go. His parents worked hard to raise him and grow up, and they haven't had time to repay the kindness of raising him. Yao Wei, Shen Lin, Xia Ruobing and Xia Ruoyun, as well as Lin Yumeng, who is his childhood sweetheart. Everyone and every relationship makes it difficult for him to give up...
Looking back in the past year in the real world, he and they have experienced so many ups and downs, so many twists and turns. The grievances and hatreds of several big families have been smoothed out one by one. Xia Ruoyun has even begun to handle everyone's immigration, and even plans to buy one in the Caribbean or somewhere. Kojima, next you can enjoy the immortal life in the paradise... And now, all these good wishes have become uncertain because of the mixed games. If he is really forcibly detained in the game world by NPC this time, Li Weidong himself does not know how to accept it and how to face it.
But he doesn't know how to tell Shen Tian these words. She is just a child and is the age of longing. Such a fact is too cruel to her. With a secret sigh, Li Weidong said with a smile, "Not necessarily. Maybe I think the game world is better than reality, so I don't want to go back.
Shen Tian curled her lips and said, "You are lying. Do you want to give up your wives?"
"This, cough." Li Weidong couldn't help blushing and said awkwardly, "Don't talk nonsense. What do you know?"
"Cut, that's because you think I'm still young. In fact, I know everything." Shen Tian deliberately pouted her mouth and was silent for a moment. Somehow, her face with a little baby fat gradually turned red. Suddenly, she leaned over to Li Weidong's ear and said, "Brother, I have something I want to ask you. Can you promise me not to be angry?"
Looking at this girl's mysterious and secret appearance, Li Weidong couldn't help wondering and said, "When did I get angry with you? Just ask whatever you want."
Shen Tian's face became more and more red that she could drip water. She was embarrassed and said in a voice that was not much bigger than a mosquito, "If I... Well, I think, mine... Mine is still very small. Will you dislike me?"
Li Weidong was confused and said, "What do you dislike? You are very young. You are my little sister. How can my brother dislike you?
"No! I mean, I mean..." Shen Tian was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at Li Weidong. She bit her lips for a while before she summoned up her courage, straightened her small chest and said, "I mean... My place is too small compared with Sister Weiwei and Sister Linlin. Brother, if you marry me, won't you like it..."
I'm down! Li Weidong sweated a lot and finally understood that the little girl pointed to Mimi. He quickly said, "Who said that I want to marry you as your wife? I'm your brother, okay?" Well, did the gossip tell you? Old bastards are talking nonsense..."
The reason why he agreed to marry Shen Tian as his wife was purely to save her. In order to join the dragon clan, he had no choice but to agree. Li Weidong dared to swear that he had never had such obscene thoughts. But Xiao Tiantian's beautiful big eyes suddenly widened and said, "You're lying! This is not what the gossip master told me, but the oath you made in the ice furnace! Although I died at that time, my soul was always in my body, but I couldn't speak or move, but I heard everything you said clearly! You said you would marry me as my wife when I woke up. Brother, do you want to pay the bill?!"
