Chapter 48: Little Brother, I really can't take it anymore

Wang Qinghe was currently in the perspective of an observer.

Her head was buried directly into the soft bed quilt, and crimson ripples spread across her earlobes.

She couldn't bear to look.

It was too embarrassing.

But she also had a bit of a desire to continue watching what happened in the scene.

This thing was truly too addictive; this Reincarnation World had opened up many functions she hadn't encountered before, making Wang Qinghe not want to delay for even a moment.

Moreover, there was an inexplicable joy in cultivating Gu Jiangming.

Watching him grow stronger bit by bit, Wang Qinghe felt a sense of accomplishment that she couldn't put into words.

To be honest.

During the previous reincarnation, Wang Qinghe felt that the past self on the screen didn't deserve to be her; she was like someone under a spell, throwing herself heart and soul into Gu Jiangming.

At that time, Wang Qinghe felt that her past self was simply disgraceful.

How to put it, she was someone with her own thoughts and judgment; she didn't like such a blind, impulsive, love-struck foolish woman from the bottom of her heart.

She truly disliked her.

The 【Heart-Pounding】 reincarnation trait was simply a complete trap.

And returning to the first life, with 【Heart-Pounding】 not being retained, Wang Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought she could regain her prestige and fiercely reclaim the face she had lost before.

Although no one knew about this, there was a drive in Wang Qinghe's heart; she was unconvinced.

As a dignified descendant of the Langya Wang Clan, and with such good starting resources this time, wouldn't it be easy to slaughter everyone ten thousand years ago?

The person she couldn't get last time had instead ended up together with her this time due to a muddled marriage.

What surprised Wang Qinghe the most was

She actually felt that Gu Jiangming was not bad.

Granted, it was because she triggered the plot, was trapped in one place for over twenty years, and gradually developed feelings through ten years of living together day and night, but after they truly became lovers, Wang Qinghe found the experience of being with him quite acceptable.

Not to say she had a special fondness for him, but at least Gu Jiangming wasn't bad, and this life was worth living.

Thinking of this, Wang Qinghe couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her slightly heated cheeks.

Oh no, oh no.

I thought it was my past self getting involved with someone.

Why does it feel like I've also projected myself into it?

No, no!!!

Wang Qinghe, oh Wang Qinghe! You are a noble of the Langya Wang Clan! I will not allow you to develop in the direction of a foolish woman!

【After a night of pleasure, your standing with Gu Jiangming has increased.】

A numerical value appeared on the screen again.

【Your Pleasure Value is 80 points; you are currently in a refreshed mood, which has allowed your cultivation speed to increase.】

"Pleasure?" Wang Qinghe pondered for a moment.

Then what would happen when the Pleasure Value is lower than normal?

【When the Pleasure Value falls below the normal range, your mood will be low, your cultivation efficiency will decrease, and when your Pleasure Value is extremely low, you will spontaneously commit many negative actions.】

Then Wang Qinghe was curious about how this Pleasure Value was calculated.

【The sources of Pleasure Value include—success in cultivation, a happy family, exploring major events, and completing the career you wish to pursue.】

【You can usually increase your Pleasure Value through your own hobbies.】

【Your current greatest source of Pleasure Value is—Lanke Chess Fate · Gu Jiangming.】

Oh, so that's how it is.

Wang Qinghe nodded; she looked at Gu Jiangming's card, and the appearance he was currently using was the skin she had unlocked: 【Lanke Chess Fate】.

This skin was equivalent to a permanent one.

Once unlocked, it's yours.

But she didn't know why she didn't have the 【Shushan Dao Venerable】 or 【Peerless Elegance】 skins; perhaps these had nothing to do with her, so she couldn't obtain them?

Wang Qinghe's desire for exploration gradually climbed, and she was thinking about whether there was a way to unlock new skins.

【Portrait skins need to be obtained by exploring major events, unlocking famous scenes, breaking through achievements, etc.】

"Then what counts as breaking through an achievement?" Wang Qinghe muttered to herself.

Her eyes lit up.

If Gu Jiangming became the Sect Leader of the Zhenggang Sect, would that count as breaking through an achievement?

【Yes.】

【When the unit Gu Jiangming becomes the Sect Leader of the Zhenggang Sect, the Zhenggang Successor series of portrait skins will be unlocked.】

At this moment, Wang Qinghe felt that the exploratory nature of 【Mie Changsheng】 had undergone a significant change.

Gu Jiangming, oh Gu Jiangming.

This won't be up to you anymore.

On the other side, Gu Jiangming clearly didn't know that the situation was changing rapidly; he was still meticulously polishing his skill set and trump cards.

【This is your second year in the Zhenggang Sect; at Wang Qinghe's request, Wang Jiangxing was forced to grant you the status of Guest Elder of the Zhenggang Sect.】

【You can obtain corresponding merits by completing sect missions, thereby obtaining the Zhenggang Sect's cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and moves.】

Gu Jiangming nodded; his skill set still had areas that were lacking, and he himself wanted to try creating a system on his own, just like the Shushan save file.

After all, Gu Jiangming considered that even if he hadn't read ten thousand web novels, he had read at least a thousand, plus the support of numerous wuxia classics; researching a system himself based on the strengths of these techniques felt like it shouldn't be a problem.

But he didn't know if this account's initial Mana talent was low, or if his comprehension was too low; while his cultivation speed was fast, he couldn't create his own system like in the Shushan save file.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiangming decided to take on a sect mission from the Zhenggang Sect to farm merit points, expand his skill pool, and perhaps even leave something behind as a family heirloom.

【Wang Qinghe has rejected your attempt to accept a sect mission.】

Woman, what are you trying to do?

Are you trying to Enter the Room again?

Gu Jiangming was struck with sudden fury!

Once you do something like Enter the Room for the first time, there will be countless times after.

Since it was all his past life's self anyway, Gu Jiangming naturally let go and followed his heart completely.

Given the situation, what else could he do?

However, Gu Jiangming was just saying that for fun; unless absolutely necessary, he certainly wouldn't keep clicking that 【Enter the Room】 interaction button in his mind every single turn.

【Wang Qinghe has transferred thirty thousand of her own merit points to you and told you to go to the Library Pavilion yourself to choose a secret manual.】

?

No, wait, won't this behavior of yours get you tortured by your father-in-law?

Anyone with eyes can see you are favoring me!!!

Gu Jiangming was stunned himself.

Was it the previous 【Enter the Room】 button that raised Wang Qinghe's stance so high, allowing her to be this good to me?

The current Gu Jiangming was even feeling a bit flattered.

【You have a natural proud character and absolutely refuse the gift from your wife, Wang Qinghe; you view this behavior as a disgrace.】

Don't go adding trouble for our good brother.

Gu Jiangming was so angry he laughed.

She is trying her best to cover for you, and you are trying your best to push her away, right?

What kind of divine romance is this?

The two people's lines of thought never connect.

Moreover, Gu Jiangming spoke the truth: this kind of male chauvinism should never show up when it's not needed!

He had discovered that 【Natural Proud Character】 was purely a double-edged sword; there were many scenarios where it took effect, and sometimes, when it needed to be proud, it was proud, but when it didn't need to be proud, it continued to be proud anyway.

This isn't called 【Natural Proud Character】.

This is called being tsundere; it's just being cheap, a problem caused by your own cheapness!

【Wang Qinghe has initiated an interactive action with you.】

【Late at night, you are pushed into a side room on Zhenwu Mountain.】

【Your Pleasure Value has increased, and your cultivation speed has improved as a result.】

Damn it!!!!!!

I can't take it anymore, sister.

Little brother here really can't handle it.

I will never dare to look for a romance in Reincarnation again.

If you want to Enter the Room every day, I won't be able to hold up.
