Seems Like He Really Liked Her a Billion Times Over

The gloom on Jiang Junyi's face vanished in an instant, and he eagerly ran out of the study.

In the living room, Uncle Wu stood before something covered in red cloth. "Young Master."

"Mm, everything was done according to my requirements, right?" Jiang Junyi asked, still wanting reassurance.

"Absolutely no problem." Uncle Wu gave his guarantee.

After all, he had run all over the place, called people in to work through the night, and had not slept a wink to get this done.

All for his young master today.

"Good. Thanks for your hard work, Uncle Wu."

Jiang Junyi pushed the gift toward the study.

"Here it comes~" He came before Wan Qingyun, took her hand, and placed it atop the soft red cloth.

"Cloth?" Wan Qingyun was somewhat puzzled.

Could it be clothes?

"No, no, no. This is to create a sense of ceremony. You can pull the cloth off now."

Standing beside Wan Qingyun, Jiang Junyi spoke with a smile.

Wan Qingyun turned toward Jiang Junyi suspiciously. It could not be some prank, could it?

But what kind of prank would take so much effort?

With that thought, she no longer hesitated. She yanked away the red cloth and reached forward to feel it.

She only felt something hard, but it was not cold to the touch. Instead, it felt exceptionally warm.

"What exactly is this?" Wan Qingyun could not guess what it was from touch alone.

"Hehe."

Jiang Junyi smiled, then once again unreasonably scooped Wan Qingyun into his arms.

"You! What are you doing again?"

The tips of Wan Qingyun's ears flushed red.

It was always like this!

"You'll find out in a moment."

Jiang Junyi set Wan Qingyun down in the wheelchair he had specially commissioned.

"Feel it."

Wan Qingyun touched the armrests on both sides. This familiar sensation...

"A wheelchair?"

"Yes, but I'd rather you call it—the Cockpit of Love." Jiang Junyi bent down and whispered into Wan Qingyun's ear.

"Get lost!"

Wan Qingyun was utterly speechless. A wheelchair was a wheelchair! What Cockpit of Love...

Still, this wheelchair seemed rather extraordinary.

She ignored Jiang Junyi's cheesy words and instead carefully felt the wheelchair beneath her.

First were the wide armrests on either side, completely undecorated.

Yet when she rested her arms on them, they did not feel cold at all. Instead, they felt pleasantly smooth and warm.

She had no idea what material the seat cushion was made from, but it was incredibly soft.

The backrest was also designed with excellent ergonomics.

The moment she sat down, she felt a wave of comfort spread through her waist.

The wheels turned with remarkable smoothness, moving roughly twice as fast as her previous wheelchair.

The footrests were positioned just right as well.

Sitting in it, Wan Qingyun felt her entire body relax.

"Do you like it? It's forged from a fusion of Wan Hua Tear Jade, Crimson Gold Firestone, and Six-sided Ice Crystal. Warm in winter, cool in summer."

"The overall color is pale white, while the armrests on both sides are streaked with extremely fine, faint red and blue currents."

"There is a little more Crimson Gold Firestone around the waist area, so it can soothe and relax you."

"In short, it's a perfect match for my darling Qingyun!"

Jiang Junyi described it with a beaming smile.

This time, Wan Qingyun did not refute how he addressed her, because she was immersed in the image Jiang Junyi had painted for her.

Though she could not see it, she could still glimpse that breathtaking beauty through her imagination.

Wan Qingyun knew Jiang Junyi must have put immense thought into making this. Listening to his description, an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

Jiang Junyi was still wondering why Wan Qingyun had said nothing when he suddenly saw glistening tears roll down her cool face.

He hurriedly crouched down and wiped away Wan Qingyun's tears. "What's wrong? You don't like it?"

Wan Qingyun shook her head, then gave a soft laugh. "I like it."

"It's just such a pity."

"I can't see it."

Jiang Junyi froze for a moment, then took Wan Qingyun's delicate hands in his. He said gently yet firmly, "It's all right. Even if it takes my whole life, I'll find a way to cure you."

At that moment, Wan Qingyun knew that Jiang Junyi had fiercely plucked a string in her heart that had lain silent for far too long...

But how could she know that at that very moment, Jiang Junyi's heart had completely blossomed for her as well?

Love knew not where it began, yet once begun, it ran deep.

Jiang Junyi looked at Wan Qingyun's face, pear blossoms adorned with rain—cool and resilient.

For the first time, he blushed!

Damn, it seemed like he really liked her a billion times over!

He coughed twice and stood up. "Um, shall I take you for a walk in the courtyard?"

"Okay."

This time, Wan Qingyun did not refuse. Usually, after Wan Xiaoxiao went to school, she would quietly stay in the study and did not like going out alone.

Now, Jiang Junyi's arrival had given her the urge to go out and clear her mind.

Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun into the small courtyard, where they felt the breeze and the gentle sunlight.

Everything was so beautiful.

But both she and he knew that this was only temporary.

Wan Qingyun had already taken on a heavy burden.

Ding~ The Pure Love target really likes the host's gift and is wildly smitten~ Pure Love Points +66!

Hearing the system prompt, Jiang Junyi felt thoroughly at ease.

He could date, earn Pure Love Points, and cultivate on his own.

What kind of heavenly life was this?~

As the two enjoyed the warmth of spring, Star Luo Orphanage on the other side also welcomed an applicant from White Court.

At Jiang Junyi's instruction, the people from White Court did not join all at once. Instead, they chose to send one person ahead to test the waters.

Wang Hao, dressed in black tactical-style clothing, entered Star Luo Orphanage.

It was still morning, and the tavern was not open for business, though its doors were open.

Wang Hao strode in with the bearing of a dragon and tiger. With his resolute, rugged face and neat crew cut, anyone who saw him would praise him as a tough guy.

"Ding ding dang~"

The bell by the door rang. Virgo, who was meticulously cleaning without looking up, said coldly:

"Sorry, we aren't open yet."

Wang Hao looked over Virgo's Star Lord maid outfit. "Are you the person in charge here?"

Only then did Virgo raise her head at Wang Hao's words. "More or less. What is it?"

"I want to apply for a job."

Virgo frowned. "We don't seem to have put out a hiring notice."

"Stars Emerge from the Sky Curtain, Black Palace Eternal."

The instant Wang Hao spoke those words, Virgo appeared before him.

Her beautiful eyes were sharp as blades, and the pressure of a Grandmaster swept toward Wang Hao like a tidal wave. "How do you know those words?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Hao remained as calm as if nothing had happened. "My father has some connection to Black Palace. Over the past two days, he seemed to sense something and specifically ordered me to come."

"My father said that his body is already crippled, and he has no way to repay Black Palace."

Only after hearing this did Virgo withdraw her aura.

She knew he must be one of the elders who had survived after Black Palace suffered its catastrophic destruction.

After all these years, he had chosen to let his descendant become a member of Black Palace.

Virgo did not doubt Wang Hao's identity, because only members of Black Palace knew those words.

"What realm are you at now?" Virgo was curious. Wang Hao had remained completely unmoved under her pressure just now.

"Half-Step Grandmaster."

Virgo nodded. No wonder.

"Since that is the case, stay at the tavern. Depending on your future contributions, you may have a chance to receive the Fate Lord's blessing. When that time comes, breaking through to Grandmaster will be effortless."

As she spoke, Virgo walked toward the mop she had just set down, then paused slightly.

"What work can you handle in the tavern?"

Wang Hao frowned. "Security."
