Chapter 88
One Friend
A group of people, they came quickly, and they left quickly.
In less than half a day, a sect that had offended the Netherworld Sect was completely destroyed under Yu Jiuyou's command.
It must be said that this result was far beyond Lin Xiao's expectations.
After this massacre, Lin Xiao finally understood the rules of the Cangxuan Realm.
That was a completely different world from the Azure Dragon Kingdom, which had a sound legal system.
The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive.
Whoever is stronger and has a higher level of understanding will be able to dominate everything.
After returning to the Netherworld Sect, Lin Xiao could clearly sense that Yu Jiuyou was somewhat downcast.
Even his favorite snacks have lost their appeal.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt a little strange.
This female demon didn't even blink when she killed people before.
Why are you feeling down now?
Lin Xiao didn't dare to ask any further questions.
Fortunately, Yu Jiuyou didn't pay any attention to him.
After waiting for half an hour, Lin Xiao returned to the real world.
It was just six in the morning.
Lin Xiao glanced at the gray sky outside, and without thinking too much, took out his phone and opened the game.
Sure enough, a golden exclamation mark appeared next to Yu Jiuyou's quest avatar in the game interface.
[Ding: Yu Jiuyou is in a low mood. Investigate the reason and relieve her low mood to increase her favorability by 10 points!]
"As expected, playing games is the only way to progress."
Moreover, that's ten points of favorability!
Once this task is completed, Yu Jiuyou's favorability rating will rise to forty.
Perhaps it can unlock new permissions, bringing us one step closer to removing the mark from my body.
However, amidst his joy, he also encountered some difficulties.
Yu Jiuyou is decisive and ruthless, with a deep and thoughtful mind.
She remained unfazed even when the White Bone Sect was slaughtered. What could have caused her to feel down?
He frowned, carefully recalling every detail of his time in the Cangxuan Realm today.
Although Yu Jiuyou was ruthless when he slaughtered the White Bone Sect, he remained calm throughout the entire process, showing no abnormality until he finally killed the White Bone Sect leader and cleaned up the battlefield.
The only difference was after returning to the Netherworld Sect.
She remained silent throughout, her expression becoming increasingly subdued.
"Could it be related to the White Bone Sect?" Lin Xiao muttered to himself, then shook his head.
The White Bone Sect is just a small sect, and the secret manuals it stole may not be top-tier techniques. Yu Jiuyou doesn't need to go through so much trouble for such a sect.
Then he remembered that Yu Jiuyou had been depressed because he had failed to kill Lin Qishuang last time.
However, Lin Qishuang was not mentioned at all today, so it probably wasn't because of this matter.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue.
Moreover, this snack guide doesn't seem to be very effective now.
Perhaps I should try a different approach?
However, Lin Xiao knew a little bit about everything else from childhood to adulthood.
As for how to make a woman happy, he really didn't know much about it.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Xiao's fingers unconsciously swiped across the phone screen.
My gaze fell on the sky outside the window, which was gradually brightening.
Subconsciously, the image of that person from last night involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Perhaps she understands what women do when they're feeling down.
The thought struck Lin Xiao for a moment, as he didn't want to bother anyone.
He was truly at his wit's end, with no one else to turn to for help except Qin Yanan.
Moreover, he doesn't need to reveal everything.
If I could just use a friend's identity and ask Qin Yanan for advice on how to coax someone, it should be possible.
After making up her mind, Lin Xiao's inner turmoil gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of trepidation and anticipation.
He glanced at the time.
After all that fuss, it was already around 7:30 in the morning.
Qin Yanan should be awake by now, right?
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, took out his phone, and found Qin Yanan's contact information.
Her finger hovered over the screen, hesitating for a long time before slowly typing out a line: "Sister Ya Nan, are you awake? There's something I'd like to ask you."
After sending the message, Lin Xiao gripped his phone tightly, his eyes fixed on the screen.
He was afraid that Qin Yanan might not have seen it, or that he might have thought he was being too abrupt.
After all, it's only a little past seven in the morning, and it's not good to disturb other people's rest.
Fortunately, his phone vibrated less than two minutes later.
Qin Yanan replied to the message, her tone slightly teasing: "Just woke up, what's up?"
Upon seeing the message, Lin Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied:
"Nothing's wrong, it's just... I have a friend who's been in a bad mood lately, and I don't know why. So I wanted to ask you, how do you usually comfort a girl?"
After sending the message, Lin Xiao felt a little regretful.
Qin Yanan felt that her description was not clear enough and could not give suitable advice.
However, if he went into too much detail, he was afraid that Qin Yanan would press him about the identity of this "friend," and then he would have a hard time covering up his lie.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Xiao felt uneasy for a moment.
His fingers kept stroking the edge of the phone as he patiently waited for Qin Yanan's reply.
In the room on the second floor, Qin Yanan, lying on the bed, remained silent upon seeing Lin Xiao's question.
While touching the crystal necklace hanging around her neck, she carefully recalled the circumstances of their encounter yesterday.
She was certain that she did not show any obvious signs of being down.
But Lin Xiao was still keenly aware of the low mood he was experiencing due to the failed annulment of the engagement.
As for the pretense of a so-called friend, that's even more ridiculous.
As we all know, the word "friend" always refers to the person in question.
So, Lin Xiao's goal was to make herself happy, but she didn't know how.
That's why he came to ask himself.
Although this guess was somewhat self-indulgent, Qin Yanan felt that it was the truth of the matter.
Touching the slightly warm necklace and looking at the chat box on her phone screen, Qin Yanan smiled slightly.
Although the man was a bit clumsy in some ways, he just happened to hit some of her sweet spots.
She had seen far too many wealthy young men who acted charming and composed in front of her.
These people appear to be well-dressed, but in reality, they are scoundrels and prostitutes.
Even those who are exceptional often bear various responsibilities.
These are not the kinds of things she likes.
Lin Xiao expressed his love from beginning to end, but he did not force himself to do so.
He just quietly and earnestly took care of himself.
He could even detect her own well-hidden low mood.
And, she was still awkwardly asking herself how to comfort herself.
This was the type of man she had never encountered in her entire life.
perhaps……
