Chapter 68

Asuna originally felt that she was going to die and didn't want to leave any regrets, so she chose to confess actively.

When she regained consciousness under the ability of the "resurrection item" and found herself held in Shengzai's arms, and remembered the words she had just said, her face turned red instantly.

"Asuna, those words you just said..."

Looking at the surprised Shengzai in front of her, the already shy Asuna immediately gave up and said: "I don't know which idiot always thought I liked Kirito."

"I have clearly tried very hard to get close to you, but someone has been playing dumb all along!"

The 50th-floor boss was finally defeated through the concerted efforts of everyone.

And because of this incident, the window paper between Shengzai and Asuna was completely pierced.

Although they didn't announce it to the public, their item slots now had the fully shared mode that only "couple relationships" in the game had.

And Asuna now lived directly in the shop of the Aunt Wenren Chamber of Commerce, and every evening, she would buy ingredients to go home and cook.

After getting the "Golden Carp" from Agil, Asuna had no intention of continuing to shop.

She could even imagine the expression Shengzai would show when eating this dream ingredient, so a happy smile appeared on her face.

However, what Asuna didn't notice was that just after she left Agil's grocery store, in a corner nearby, a man with a gloomy look also appeared.

Thinking of Asuna's happy look earlier and the fact that she was already married in the game, the man showed a gnashing-of-teeth expression.

And if Shengzai were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Kurethail, the man in the "Knights of the Blood Oath" who held special feelings for Asuna.

Originally, this Kurethail should have gone to trouble Kirito, but now Kirito and Sachi were together.

The person Asuna liked now was Shengzai, which also led to Shengzai being targeted by the other party.

As for the other side, after returning to the Aunt Wenren Chamber of Commerce from Agil's grocery store, Asuna directly changed into home clothes and entered the wife mode.

Cooking in SAO, in fact, besides providing satiety, rarely had any that could increase attributes.

But Asuna had always been very keen on cooking, because according to her, only when enjoying delicious food every time could she feel that she was still alive.

Because it was already evening, Mei and her grandfather, who had finished work, had already gone back.

And Asuna had just returned home when she saw Shengzai lying on the sofa like a social loser.

"Asuna, you came back much later than usual today; hurry up and get me something to eat, I'm about to starve to death."

Looking at her boyfriend lying flat like a loser, Asuna didn't show the slightest impatience, but instead smiled and said like coaxing a child: "Right away, right away, there's a surprise for dinner today."

"I snatched the dream ingredient that Kirito-kun originally took a fancy to from Agil; today I'll let you see my true cooking level."

Hearing Asuna's words, Shengzai was also quite curious, and when he saw Asuna proudly taking out the "Golden Carp" from the item slot and preparing to process it, Shengzai also recognized this thing for the first time.

Not just Asuna and Kirito, Shengzai was also a foodie.

After all, having been trapped in this death game for almost two years, the only thing to look forward to now was this appetite.

He had already earned enough Col, and even if he returned to the real world, he could make a fortune through those contracts.

As for sexual desire..., it wasn't that there wasn't any, but in SAO, even if the opposite sex agreed, there weren't many operations that could be performed, and even with full dive, it was ultimately impossible to fully restore everything in every detail.

Under Asuna's maxed-out cooking skills, a large pot of fish soup was finally drunk clean by Shengzai and Asuna.

The excuse Asuna said earlier that she didn't like eating fish was simply a joke in front of this pot of golden fish soup.

And after enjoying the food cooked with dream ingredients, Shengzai didn't forget to take a photo and send it to Kirito, who was working hard to grind monsters and raise money.

【Shengzai: The Golden Carp is worthy of being one of the three great dream ingredients; the fish soup is incomparably fresh and fragrant, and the fish meat melts in the mouth; being fortunate enough to enjoy such delicious food is truly a blessing.】

【Kirito: Golden Carp? You guys got your hands on it too? Wait... Shengzai, your Golden Carp, could it be...】

【Shengzai: Asuna bought it from Agil; I heard some poor guy wanted to buy it on credit, but Asuna bought it back first at triple the price.】

【You know, we are not short of money at all now; occasionally we have to eat something good, *burp*~】

【Kirito: You damn couple, you're going too far! That guy Agil actually forgot righteousness for profit, damn it!】

Asuna leaned her head on Shengzai's shoulder, looking at the chat record between Shengzai and Kirito, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you really Kirito-kun's childhood friend?"

"Why do I feel like you never miss any opportunity to tease him."

The relationship between Shengzai and Kirito had always been something Asuna and Sachi couldn't understand.

Whether it was Shengzai or Kirito, there was no doubt that they regarded each other as their best friend, but many times these two guys wouldn't miss any opportunity to make the other look bad.

It wasn't just Shengzai like this; Sachi had also complained to Asuna many times in secret, saying that Kirito was the same, and the two were like children who hadn't grown up.

"As the saying goes, one fears one's brother's suffering, but also fears one's brother driving a Range Rover; but if the person driving the Range Rover is me, I must let my brother know."

Regarding what Shengzai said, Asuna directly shook her head and smiled, because she had never heard of this saying of Shengzai's.

"Shengzai, actually there is one more thing I want to tell you, and that is that our guild commander Heathcliff hopes I can invite you to join our guild again."

"Because the boss room on the 75th floor of Aincrad was finally discovered in the labyrinth area a few days ago."

According to the previous floor rules of Aincrad, the strength of the floor boss every 25 floors of the floating tower would be unusually powerful.

Referring to the previous 50th-floor boss, the commander believes that this 75th-floor clearing battle will definitely be a bitter battle.

So in order to better command and respond to this clearing battle, the commander hopes you can join our Knights of the Blood Oath."

Although the floor boss clearing battle would gather all the players in the clearing group, and everyone claimed to fight for the surviving players, if that were really the case, why would there be a distinction between guilds?

The floor boss was very dangerous, but the items and experience it dropped were also the fastest way for players to become stronger.

Other guilds defeating the floor boss versus their own guild defeating it were two different things, and this was also the reason why major guilds would try to win over solo high-level players.
