Chapter 408
"It's fine," Zhang Taixuan smiled. "More of that rudeness would be welcome—I don't mind."
"Mo, you really are a Dao Lord!" Yingdao Mai's face flushed red. "Playing direct cards now won't earn you points! Show a little consideration for a girl's feelings!"
She changed the subject. "Dao Lord, since you're here, why not take a stroll? I'll treat you to some local delicacies."
"Since Senior Sister invites, how could I refuse?"
Yingdao Mai was speechless: "I remember you're from a fantasy world—why are you calling me Senior Sister!!!"
"Habit!" Zhang Taixuan chuckled.
That was true—he'd often played various roleplays with Xiazhiqu to add some fun.
I have to say, these mini-games are still pretty good.
【8】 I have to say, these mini-games are still pretty good.
【8】 Admittedly, these little games were quite enjoyable.
"Habit?" Yingdao Mai was puzzled, but didn't press further—she had some understanding of this Dao Lord's nature.
He was a good person, but not by much!
He was an upright gentleman, but not by much!
Such a person was far too dangerous.
She wasn't ready to lose her chastity on their first meeting, so she dared not tease him—instead, she led Zhang Taixuan through Changjie, introducing various foods and customs.
Since the gods had been suppressed, Yingdao Mai's divine concealment had naturally vanished.
To passersby, she was a popular star strolling with a strikingly handsome, aura-rich young man.
"Yingdao Mai has a boyfriend? No way, my youth is over!"
"Ah, my childhood goddess."
"Why does Yingdao Mai have such a handsome boyfriend? I'm not bad either—why doesn't anyone (aida) want me? Heaven is blind!"
"Ugh… Ma'am, you weigh three hundred jin—please don't compare yourself to Miss Yingdao."
"Big news! Post it on Twitter—this is bound to get tons of attention!"
Zhang Taixuan watched the crowd's reactions and asked, "Don't you mind? If this news goes public, your entertainment career will be ruined."
"I don't care," Yingdao Mai smiled brightly, munching on an octopus dumpling, relaxed and at ease. "I've long stopped wanting to be in entertainment."
"Fame? I already have it."
"Money? My daily check-in points converted to cash exceed what I earn in a year!"
"Now, I just want to cultivate transcendent power and explore the wonders of other worlds. Do you think I could film documentaries from those worlds and upload them to mine?"
"Do as you please," Zhang Taixuan smiled. "Your current power makes you invincible in this world—you can do whatever you want!"
"That's true!" Yingdao Mai cheered, opening her arms like a free bird. "Freedom is wonderful! From now on, I, Yingdao Mai, will become the greatest director across all worlds!"
"Dao Lord, may I edit and upload your past livestreams to the internet?"
"Uh…" Zhang Taixuan was stunned—he hadn't expected Yingdao Mai's hobby to be so unusual. "Do as you like!"
"Don't worry—I'll split the profits with you fifty-fifty," Yingdao Mai smiled lightly. "I won't keep it all to myself. Wow, there's a beautiful yukata ahead—Dao Lord, shall I wear it for you?"
"Perfect," Zhang Taixuan smiled. "Though, Senior Sister, your bunny girl outfit is still the most beautiful—I'd love to see it someday."
"Ah…" Yingdao Mai blushed, her voice softening. "Why bring that up again!"
"Next time. When I'm ready."
The bunny girl outfit carried too many suggestive connotations.
Wearing it alone for one person—she knew exactly what it implied. For this matter, she needed to think more carefully.
Just as she was about to change into the yukata, her phone rang.
Yingdao Mai glanced at the screen, her delicate brows knitting slightly. "It's Mom."
"Looks like the news has spread," Zhang Taixuan sighed. "Your agent's calling."
"Mm," Yingdao Mai nodded and answered the call.
The next moment, a frantic voice came through.
"Mai, you got a boyfriend? And you're strolling with him? Don't you know this will destroy your entertainment career!"
"Quickly issue a statement to clarify—there's still time to salvage it!"
The person on the other end rattled off a flood of words, but Yingdao Mai remained calm. When she finished, she replied: "Mom, let's meet in person. Some things can't be explained over the phone."
"Dao Lord, will you accompany me?"
"Meeting the parents on the first date? Mai, you're bold!" Zhang Taixuan mused. "But since I'm free, I might as well see what your future mother-in-law looks like."
"Dao Lord!" Yingdao Mai blushed, stomped her foot—but didn't argue, only led the way ahead.
