Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 540: The Chivalrous Woman's Dream
Marriage in this world is not entirely arranged by parents or matchmakers.
Rather, they prefer blind dating.
That is, they are introduced by acquaintances, and then the woman visits the man's home to get to know him.
Meeting someone and spending a day together is a process called "face-to-face contact."
If both parties are satisfied with each other, they can get engaged after a few more dates.
Then a time is agreed upon and the man gives the betrothal gift and goes to marry the woman.
The process and ceremony are not particularly complicated, and they respect the personal wishes of both parties.
This is also the special feature of Dawen Country, which is not fussy about details and respects the self-awareness of others.
Lin Qianxing didn't expect that this game would start with a blind date, but he was focused on figuring out how to play the game and didn't care about the blind date, so he just wanted to deal with it briefly and leave.
After Wang Hu and Liu Zurong left, only Lin Qianxing and Liu Shu were left here.
It was Lin Qianxing who started the conversation. He said, "I'm sure Miss Liu knows Lin's reputation, but I don't know why Miss Liu agreed to meet Lin?"
Hearing this, Liu Shu pursed her lips and said, "Are you trying to say that I don't respect myself? I know you are a playboy, but what's the harm? People of the underworld should do what the underworld should do. Master Lin is willing to show his bad habits to others, which is much better than some villains who hide their evil deeds."
Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows. Can this be solved?
It seems that this little girl has done some psychological preparation.
Lin Qianxing said, "In that case, I won't say anything. I can't change my bad habits. Even if I get married, I'm afraid it will be the same. If you can tolerate it, Miss Liu, then we can arrange this marriage."
Although the culture in Dawen Country is open, being so straightforward is actually a bit humiliating.
Lin Qianxing felt that if Liu Shu had any self-respect, she would have left in a rage after hearing this.
However, Liu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, after the interview is over, I will inform my father and ask Master Lin to come and pick the day to welcome the bride."
Now it was Lin Qianxing's turn to be a little slow to react.
He blinked his eyes and looked at Liu Shu seriously for the first time.
She was dressed simply and didn't look like someone who liked to dress up, but her natural beauty made her outfit unique. There was a hint of teasing in her bright eyes as she stared at Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing realized that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party and he was teased.
"Ms. Liu, you're joking. Mr. Lin is definitely not a good match for you. You should look for someone else!" Lin Qianxing shook his head.
"Mr. Lin, am I so impatient? We've just started our face-to-face meeting and you're already thinking of driving me away?" Liu Shu said.
"There are indeed some things that have not been dealt with, so I seem a little anxious." Lin Qianxing said.
"I wonder what's so urgent that Mr. Lin even put the most important thing in his life, a kiss, behind?" Liu Shu asked curiously.
Lin Qianxing rolled his eyes and said, "I'm in a hurry to go to Cuihonglou. Do you think this is a big deal?"
Hearing this, Liu Shu couldn't help but blush, and lightly spat, then said: "If Master Lin doesn't want to kiss me, then forget it, why use such an excuse to defile yourself?"
"Although today's excuse is just an excuse, my past bad habits are real. Moreover, people like me who make a living on the edge of a knife will never have a peaceful life in the future. Any girl who follows me will only suffer." Lin Qianxing said.
"In today's world, I'm afraid only people like Mr. Lin can bring a sense of stability, right?" Liu Shu said.
Lin Qianxing didn't expect that Liu Shu could have such insights.
He originally thought that Liu Shu was just an ignorant young lady who was put forward as a target for marriage, but now it seems that her brain is not so rigid.
But even so, Lin Qianxing still had no intention of picking up girls right away.
He stood up and said politely, "I am not a good match for you. I hope Miss Liu will forgive me. I will take my leave now."
As he said this, he raised his foot to leave, but before he had taken two steps, Liu Shu caught up with him and tried to reach out and grab Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing reacted quickly and dodged easily, but Liu Shu actually changed her tactics and caught up with him.
The two of them switched their hands and after two moves, Lin Qianxing, relying on his quicker reaction, grabbed Liu Shu's wrists and said, "Miss Liu is also a martial artist?"
"It's a pity that I'm a girl and I'm a few years younger than you. Otherwise, you might not be able to control me easily." Liu Shu said.
Lin Qianxing was sure of this. Liu Shu's speed and reaction were quite good, and her moves were well-practiced. She could be comparable to some skilled porters in the escort agency. With a little training and experience, she could even be compared with the escort agents in their prime in the escort agency.
Because of this, Lin Qianxing finally had some respect for her.
"Miss Liu's kung fu is not bad." Lin Qianxing let go of her hand and commented.
"It's far worse than you." Liu Shu shook her hands and said dissatisfiedly.
Lin Qianxing nodded and said, "Lin's kung fu was also practiced with swords and sabers. You can't practice real kung fu just by relying on those moves and postures. Real kung fu is a killing skill. Only when you are on the verge of life and death can you fully master it."
"In that case, take me with you next time you escort the caravan," Liu Shu said.
"Ms. Liu, you're joking." Lin Qianxing shook his head.
"I can endure hardships. You don't know how much effort I put into practicing Kung Fu. I started practicing martial arts when I was eight years old, from light to heavy, and I never stopped in the sun or rain." Liu Shu said.
Lin Qianxing believed what Liu Shu said, because if not, she would not be able to develop such strength.
But he still didn't want to.
It is best for men to do the escort work.
There are female bodyguards, but they are extremely rare, and most of them are strong and have ordinary faces.
Someone like Liu Shu is obviously not suitable.
Moreover, Lin Qianxing didn't want to get too close to Liu Shu. He didn't have time to focus on romance right now.
"Ms. Liu, why do you work so hard?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"When I was a child, I heard a storyteller tell a story about a chivalrous woman. Since then, I have been thinking about becoming such a person. Later, I asked my father to find a martial arts master to teach me martial arts. He thought he could ask those martial arts masters to practice harder so that I would give up. But he didn't expect that I would make it through. Moreover, my physique is not bad. I have achieved something in my practice so far..." Liu Shu said, her eyes sparkling. She said, "Those masters who taught me are no match for me. Now I am waiting to step into the martial arts world and do justice."
"So Miss Liu's visit here is fake for a face-to-face meeting, and the real purpose is to seek an opportunity to enter the world of martial arts?" Lin Qianxing said.
"Not entirely. I think if I want to marry, I must choose someone with stronger martial arts skills. I heard that you are very good at martial arts. There is no one around Heshan City who can rival you. So if I want to marry, you are my best choice." Liu Shu explained, but halfway through, she changed the subject and said, "Of course, I am most looking forward to entering the martial arts world through you. In the future, we will escort together. On the surface, we will be escorts, but at night we will put on night clothes, do good deeds, and be a free and easy couple of knights..."
Thinking about what happened next, Liu Shu had stars in her eyes.
Lin Qianxing shook his head, thinking that he was just brainwashing himself.
She has never been in the martial arts world, so how can she know what it is like?
The real world of martial arts is as dirty and disgusting as it can be.
The chivalrous hero is actually a rule breaker.
Even if there were fewer heroes like this, people's lives would be more stable.
"The world of martial arts is not as good as you think, Miss Liu. That's all I have to say. I'm leaving now." Lin Qianxing shook his head.
"Wait, a face-to-face meeting doesn't work. Can I join the escort agency as a porter? " Liu Shu said.
Lin Qianxing immediately planned to deny it decisively.
This is an unstable factor, and there is no way he can let Liu Shu join.
However, he stopped halfway through opening his mouth.
Because he saw a wisp of air.
A wisp of purple air floated above Liu Shu's head.
The spirit of fading away from the ordinary!!
Although he had never seen it before, when Lin Qianxing saw it, he confirmed his idea.
The face-to-face encounter at the beginning of the game is not just a face-to-face encounter. The real key is this ray of mortal energy.
How to get it?
Lin Qianxing was thinking in his heart, his eyes fell on Liu Shu's face.
That face was full of hope and yearning for dreams.
I don't know when it started, but he seems to like to start from reality and directly deny other people's dreams.
Even if that road is full of thorns, even if that road may not be passable at all.
But these are all my own choices, and they are dreams that carry beautiful aspirations.
Lin Qianxing suddenly seemed to understand how to obtain this mortal energy.
Just realize her dream of being a knight-errant.
Isn't this the same as finding an NPC to accept a task and get a reward?
After pondering for a moment, Lin Qianxing said to Liu Shu: "Do you really want to enter the martial arts world so much?"
"Otherwise, wouldn't all my training over the years have been in vain?" Liu Shu said affirmatively.
Lin Qianxing nodded to show that he understood.
He was determined to take this mortal energy.
However, before realizing Liu Shu's dream of becoming a heroine, he must make her face the reality and know what kind of place the world of martial arts is.
"Ms. Liu is sincere, and I admire her. However, it is not so easy to enter the world of martial arts. If Miss Liu is really determined, I don't mind giving you a helping hand." Lin Qianxing said.
"I am definitely determined. As long as you are willing to help me, I will reward you handsomely in the future." Liu Shu said.
"I don't care whether the reward is generous or not, but I just hope that Miss doesn't regret it." Lin Qianxing said with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, you better not regret it." Liu Shu stared at Lin Qianxing seriously.
…
At the same time, Liu Zurong and Wang Hu, who were hiding outside, looked at each other, and their expressions were quite complicated.
The two of them originally thought that all the children in their family were problem youths, and they didn't want anyone from other families, so they could only bring them together and see how things went. Maybe they would have common topics?
The process was just as they expected, and they seemed to have some common topics.
But the result left them a little at a loss for words.
How come this lady wants to join the escort agency? And that guy is actually planning to help?
Wang Hu immediately wanted to say something, but as soon as he made a move, he was stopped by Liu Zurong.
Liu Zurong looked at Wang Hu and shook his head, saying, "Brother Wang, let them do whatever they want. We can't watch them for the rest of their lives, right?"
Wang Hu was silent for a moment, then he sighed deeply and said, "Alas!"
