Chapter 769 - Steel Bones
Unifying the kingdoms and defeating each and every one of the main cities of the seven servers?
At first, the idea of it sounded crazy. Despite that, my heart began to leap at the prospect of it. Lin Tian Nan’s words did not sound demanding, but rather, a suggestion for a new goal. Additionally, it was a goal that I had hidden deep in my heart, despite how much I had thirsted for it. Can a man in the martial world truly live carefreely, and never interfere with the world?
If he can’t, then he can only fight his way to the top and defeat the world!
……
My eyes bright, I looked towards Lin Tian Nan and smiled, “I understand…”
Lin Tian Nan smiled back and raised his cup, “Let’s drink another cup. Today is New Year’s Eve, it’s rare for you to find the time to stay with Wan Er on a holiday like this.”
“Yup, thank you.”
I wasn’t sure why I had said thank you. All I could think about was the excitement rushing through my veins. Because I knew, while it seemed like Lin Tian Nan was giving me a test, it also meant that he had accepted me as his daughter’s boyfriend. I’ve always been perplexed about whether or not I was truly suited to stay at Wan Er’s side for the rest of our lives. But now, I knew which way I was going. As long as I took [Zhan Long] and our brothers to each of the seven great cities, wouldn’t that mean that Lin Tian Nan would willingly allow me to have the apple of his eye? Even if I wasn’t able to complete the task, my situation wouldn’t be any worse than before. At the very least, he had now silently agreed to our relationship.
Once I realized that, I couldn’t help but dash to the sofa and give Wan Er a big hug and to tell her everything that had happened. But, as I glanced over at her, I noticed that Wan Er was smiling at me. It looked like she had already realized everything that happened. Oh, that’s right. That brat has the ability to read minds. Even if she hadn’t read my mind, she could at least read her father’s. She must’ve found out what he was thinking? As my training continued to advance, my spiritual strength continued to grow stronger. Once Wan Er tries to read my mind, I immediately notice. Furthermore, I could protect against it. That’s why last time, when Wan Er was trying to find out why I was so happy, she had to mutter to me that she couldn’t read my mind.
I raised the cup and gulped it down. I continued to drink with Lin Tian Nan and his butler. As we conversed, I found out that the butler was like an old friend. His wife had already passed away and his son was studying abroad. Thus, he was on his own, and decided to celebrate the New Year with Lin Tian Nan.
As I listened on the conversation between the two old friends, I began to think of the game. The seven kingdoms of “Destiny” aren’t particularly weak countries. Defeating them one by one was not going to be an easy task. Besides that, we cannot underestimate the strength of the players. While the Chinese Servers are strong, the American, Indian, and Russian servers were equally as fierce. Defeating them one by one was not going to be an easy task.
If [Zhan Long] were alone, I’m afraid it would be an extremely difficult task to unify the kingdoms. We needed to rely on our allies such as [Judgement] and [Enemies at the Gate]. And, if necessary, even [Legend], [Vanguard], [Hero’s Mound], and [Prague] could become our allies as well. On top of that, the NPC armies of the main cities were not to be disregarded. I had twenty thousand troops in my hands from the Royal Army that needed to be trained. As long as the army developed a superb battle power, then it would definitely become able to overcome any obstacle that comes at it. With them, we’d be able to execute any attack we want.
When I realized that, I could hear my heartbeat pounding against my eardrums. I was beginning to realize that I was on the verge of becoming crazy. I considered all of the possible methods that we could use to defeat the other countries in the Destiny World, to the point where I was obsessed. And the source of it all was the beautiful girl behind me. Wan Er must know what I was thinking about, right?
……
Around ten at night, Lin Tian Nan and Uncle Shang were getting tired. The two of them returned to their bedrooms for the night. Wan Er took me to my room, which had a very elegant design. Wan Er said that whenever Qin Wen came, she would sleep here. Normally, people outside of the family didn’t have the privilege of staying in this room. Looks like even Lin Tian Nan’s choice of rooms was a sign of his acceptance.
After she showed me my room, Wan Er pulled me over to her room. The room itself was filled with comfort and warmth. I saw a row of stuffed animals resting at her pillows, acting as miniature guards for the little princess. There was a soft fire glowing in her fireplace, warming up the entire suite. I walked over to the window and pulled open the curtains. I could see the flicker of city lights in the distance, past the delicate snowflakes that were falling from the sky. The scene outside only made the room seem even more inviting and welcoming.
I turned around and held Wan Er’s hand as I looked into her eyes. Icould feel my heart sigh, “From the first time we met, I couldn’t ever imagine that I would be able to be with you like this.”
“Idiot…”
Wan Er couldn’t help but smile. She reached over to my waist and looked at me, “At first, I thought you were just a peeping b*st*rd, but… as the days passed, I realized that it was harder and harder for me to leave your side. Every minute without you seems like an eternity. To the point where, I don’t even know why I had fallen for you…”
I smiled, “Now, if you put it that way, you’re truly breaking my heart…”
Wan Er smiled back, “What, then give me a moment to think about why I like you…”
“Yup, think quickly.”
“Wu….” She leaned into my chest. She thought for a long moment, and then suddenly looked up with a smile, “Thinking is too hard. How about I think about it tomorrow…”
“What, that’s too irresponsible…”
She immediately gave me a pouty face, “You’re actually bullying me. You must not love me. What was it you said, you’d hold onto me forever, til death do we part…?”
I exclaimed, “Did I say that?”
