"why are you laughing?"
"I laughed at myself for being too reckless and rude with my eyes just now, and even offended the beautiful lady."
After Han Mo made fun of himself, he quickly looked apologetic and said sincerely:
"Your Excellency, I apologize for my impolite behavior just now, but please understand that I, Han Mo, do not think I am the kind of gentleman who does not show his emotions.
I am just an ordinary person, and when I see such an outstanding woman, I will naturally be moved.
Unfortunately, I am not good at hiding my thoughts, and once I am moved, it will show on my face.
This also shows that, Your Excellency the Saint, your beauty is stunning and your charm is extraordinary.
Even I, the prince of the Marquisate, could not take my eyes away from you from the first moment I saw you."
Ah this...
"you……"
As soon as Han Mo finished speaking, Shang Xiufang's originally cold face actually froze slightly. She seemed to have never heard such a straightforward speech as Han Mo's.
Moreover, she had never met a man who was so bold and sincere at the first meeting, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
This boy is really straightforward!
It’s not that Shang Xiufang has never seen a man before, but during her training in the imperial capital, most of the so-called geniuses she met were either extremely respectful and flattering to her, acting like a bootlicker.
Or he would pretend to be noble and act like a gentleman, and when talking to her, he would deliberately show off his talents and try his best to attract her attention.
Because of the conservative atmosphere in the fairy world, and Shang Xiufang's noble status.
There has never been a man who dared to show such a naked and undisguised gaze when he saw her for the first time, and there has never been a man who would express his feelings so directly when they met for the first time, and praise her frankly and sincerely without any affectation.
Look at his eyes, so clear and sincere, he must recognize the beauty of this saint from the bottom of his heart!
Thinking of this, Shang Xiu couldn't help feeling a little proud.
She stared at Han Mo and looked at him carefully, especially his clear and pure eyes, his sincere expression, and his handsome face.
She suddenly felt that the offense she had felt from the other person's eyes before didn't seem so offensive to her anymore.
There is nothing that can be done about it. This saint girl is so beautiful that ordinary men can hardly resist her!
This guy has a pretty good eye and is very honest, at least much better than some hypocrites who pretend to be noble, although he is indeed a bit shy...
At this point, Shang Xiufang has changed her initial impression of Han Mo.
However, she didn't know that Han Mo had been stunned since he stepped into her room and saw her for the first time, then took a deep breath, and then showed undisguised desire in his eyes, and finally showed a sincere apology...
He was just pretending, everything was calculated.
As a veteran player, he is familiar with all the strategies for conquering the heroines.
In his words: Although Shang Xiufang, the loveless saint, appears cold on the surface, she is actually a lovely and easy-to-please woman inside, with a contrasting cuteness as her main feature.
No wonder she is affectionately called the "Free Saint" by players.
If he wasn't worried about the impact of the strategy notebook, he could even be bolder.
Fortunately, it seems that Shang Xiufang has not become abnormal like the previous few girls of destiny.
"I can forgive your rude behavior just now, but Prince Han, do you have any misunderstandings about the love tribulation?
Our sect's love tribulation requires one to do as one pleases. To put it simply, disciples of our sect can play with men and choose any man as the object of their tribulation, but they can never be dominated by men.
You want to help me overcome my love tribulation, but you want to control my fate. This is a taboo in our sect. If you do this, there is only one outcome for you: you will disappear from this world forever. Even the Yifeng Marquisate cannot protect you."
How could I have misunderstood? No one knows how to overcome emotional difficulties better than me.
Hearing Shang Xiufang's slightly threatening remarks, Han Mo smiled:
“Saintess, what you said is wrong. In fact, in my opinion, the cultivators in the Eight Desolations have always respected the five holy places and would never say anything bad about them.
If this is the case, why should the Forget Love Holy Land stick to the rules? Isn't it a bit low-class for a righteous disciple to go through a love tribulation and always want to play with a man's feelings? "
Because of her changed attitude, Shang Xiufang was not annoyed. She stared out the window with her beautiful eyes and said slowly:
“Rules cannot be abolished. This is the experience that my Forgetfulness Holy Land has gained from facing various adversities over the tens of thousands of years since its establishment.
Countless facts in history have proven that emotional tribulations dominated by men can easily cause disciples to be deeply trapped in emotional tribulations and unable to extricate themselves, which often means disaster for the holy land.
Even the Red Dust Holy Land, which had been on good terms with this Holy Land many years ago, was destroyed and its people died because of love, and the powerful holy land turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
How can such a painful lesson be understood by bystanders just talking nonsense? "
Han Mo nodded, remembering that this was indeed the case in the game settings.
From top to bottom, all the elders and disciples in the Holy Land of Forgetfulness are women.
Although they require their disciples to temper their Taoism by going through emotional tribulations many times, they never allow them to be led by men. Instead, they have to take the initiative to become the leaders of the emotional tribulations so that they will not be trapped in them and unable to extricate themselves.
Although the game did not mention why this happened, it was easy for Han Mo, who had read a lot of fantasy novels online, to guess why.
Most likely, some tragic story or melodramatic love story happened in the Holy Land of Forgetfulness in the past, so that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years, so this rule was established.
“Your Excellency the Saint, what you said makes sense, and I can understand your approach.
But after all, these are the experiences summarized by the predecessors of the Holy Land. Everyone's situation will be different. Has Your Excellency the Saint ever had any personal experience (of overcoming the tribulation of love)? "
Shang Xiufang glanced at him and said, "No."
"Tsk!" Han Mo sighed inaudibly: "What a pity, she is so beautiful."
Although he spoke in a low voice, Shang Xiufang still heard it clearly. Surprisingly, she was not angry at all, but chuckled:
"Prince Han, you are really brave, unlike other men I have met."
There was already a hint of curiosity in his words.
"Your Excellency the Saint, thank you for your praise."
Han Mo quickly lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Of course he knew that Shang Xiufang had never experienced even one emotional disaster, but he pretended not to know, and even subconsciously uttered an exclamation of "sincerely" in order to further arouse the other party's interest.
However, merely arousing Shang Xiufang's interest was not enough to make her agree to his request. He also needed...
Just as this thought flashed through my mind, the other party spoke again:
“Although you are indeed an interesting person, this Saint has said before that our disciples’ emotional tribulations will never be led by men.
So, if you want to help me overcome my emotional tribulation and become my tribulation-traveller, I cannot agree to it."
This time, Shang Xiufang's voice was no longer as cold as before. Instead, it carried a hint of inquiry, and there was a half-smile on her face, as if she was testing how Han Mo would answer.
Little did she know that Han Mo was waiting for her to say this.
"Have you misunderstood something, Saint? When did I ever say that I would recommend myself to be the one to experience the tribulation for you?"
"Eh……?"
Looking at Han Mo's puzzled expression in front of her, Shang Xiufang was completely stunned.
No, why doesn’t this guy play by the rules?
She would never have thought that the answer coming out of Han Mo's mouth would be like this.
Mainly because Han Mo's eyes, actions, and words were too misleading, which led her to misunderstand and think that what Han Mo meant by helping her to overcome the tribulation was to recommend him to be the person who would go through the tribulation for her.
After such an extreme tug of war, Han Mo quickly sighed:
"Your Excellency the Saint must have misunderstood. Although I am not talented, I still have some self-awareness."
When he said this, his expression suddenly darkened, and his tone was somewhat lonely:
“Your Excellency the Saint, I know that there is a huge difference between our identities. Your Excellency the Saint is a great cultivator in the Golden Core Stage and a direct descendant of the Holy Land. No matter what, I can never be worthy of your attention.
But because of your charm, I still couldn't help myself, so I behaved a little rudely just now. I'm really sorry, and I hope you can forgive my previous rudeness.
Don't worry, I will bury this matter deep in my heart and never mention it again..."
Ah this...
Looking at Han Mo's lonely expression, Shang Xiufang was stunned again, and a trace of pity arose in her heart.
She originally thought that this boy was targeting her when he said he would help her go through the love tribulation, and wanted to recommend himself to be the person who would go through the tribulation for her, but now from what he said, it seemed that was not the case.
Although her nickname is "Free Fairy", it does not mean that you can conquer her by just praising her. That would not be free but brainless.
If Han Mo still didn't know how to advance or retreat and threatened to personally help her overcome her emotional crisis, she would definitely kick him out.
She didn't expect that this boy was so sensible and took the initiative to hide his admiration deep in his heart. She felt a little bit reluctant about this.
Nowadays, there are very few men who know how to advance and retreat. The men she has met are either shameless lickers or hypocrites who don't know that she is annoyed in her heart and try hard to show it.
Anh~, this boy is obviously a great person!
Unfortunately, my cultivation is still a little low, my reputation is not good, and most importantly, I am a little bit astringent, otherwise...
"Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's talk about how to help you get through your love tribulation... Your Excellency, Your Excellency, are you listening?"
Han Mo's call interrupted Shang Xiufang's thoughts. When she came to her senses, her pretty face became slightly hot for some reason.
Shang Xiufang, what were you thinking about just now? This kid is not qualified to be your tribulation survivor!
"Well, I'm listening, please continue."
In order to hide her embarrassment, Shang Xiufang had to cough lightly.
“Actually, when I say I want to help you through your emotional crisis, I mean to provide help from the outside.
As far as I know, it is not difficult to survive a love affair. The real difficulty lies in choosing a suitable partner and how to finally cut off the emotional ties.
It is relatively easy to cut off the emotional ties, as long as one has a firm heart, and can even use external objects to assist..."
Listening to Han Mo talking, Shang Xiufang's originally slightly embarrassed expression gradually became solemn.
only because……
How come this kid said exactly the same thing as Master?
No, this is the experience summarized by the predecessors of my Forget Love Dao after they have overcome the tribulations of love many times. How did a young boy like him know this?
I have a drinking party tonight, so I will merge the chapters and post them early. Those book friends who don’t have enough time to invest can take advantage of the long chapters to invest.
Also, I used to update twice a day, one at 2400 a.m. and one at p.m., and yesterday each chapter had words, so in a day I had at least nearly words.
If you still feel it’s not enough, you can take a look at my two old books with a total of 300 million words. The style is similar... ahem, light-hearted and humorous, but the subject matter is different.
