"Violating what a boyfriend should do for his girlfriend is something I won't do..."
Gu Yuena silently repeated this phrase to herself, listening to Lin Yi's assertive tone. Why did it feel like he could subjectively control what he should and shouldn't do?
Shouldn't he be Compulsorily Executed? For example, if I wanted to kiss him, does he still get to decide how many seconds to kiss? Why can't it stop only when I say so?
I am someone who has merged with the reward system, shouldn't I be able to command him?
But then, this reward was given out by him, and he's also said that he won't be controlled by any rewards... So, does this mean he's doing all of this based on his own will?
Hmph, I don't care, in the end, I just want you to do what a boyfriend should do for his girlfriend. That can't be breaking the rules, right? You have no reason to refuse!
If you dare refuse, I'll proclaim everywhere tomorrow that Lin Yi doesn't carry out the content of the rewards! His rewards are trash!
Gu Yuena gleefully thought to herself, knowing how much Lin Yi cared about his reputation; he certainly wouldn't want such a thing to happen.
Father God, you wouldn't want people to think your rewards lack credibility, right?
Gu Yuena imagined Lin Yi's humiliated expression in her mind, growing more excited the more she thought about it, increasingly looking forward to what was to happen that evening.
I might as well go over with Wang Qiu'er, to go openly and aboveboard, given that I have the reward to justify my actions.
And then, after Wang Qiu'er leaves, I'll be with Lin Yi...
Ah! I'm going to bite his lips!
Seeing Gu Yuena standing there, looking smug, Lin Yi couldn't help but grumble internally.
Since I have this reward, I have a legitimate reason to deal with you, heh, Gu Yuena, you really think I'm a eunuch if I don't show my power?
Anyway, once the door is closed, whatever happens inside won't get out, and I bet you won't dare spread any rumors.
Hmph, just wait and see how I'll deal with you tonight!
With the reward in place, my persona won't collapse, and all actions will have their justifications!
"Cough cough."
Lin Yi coughed, interrupting Gu Yuena's thoughts.
The latter, a bit flustered and blushing, returned to her senses and cleared her throat, pretending to be nonchalant as she said:
"It doesn't matter, I'm not going to make any excessive demands. It's just to try out the reward after all, it's all within the rules. While I don't care much for the reward, cough, not at all, it's just that I'm rather curious, I've always been this way."
Lin Yi, with a face as calm as the light breeze and floating clouds, smiled lightly and said, "I'm not interested in your curiosity, this is the full content of the reward, you can prepare for your second onslaught."
"Sister! She's so shameless! She was clearly about to cry when she heard the reward might be retracted, and now she says she doesn't care about it! How can someone be so stubborn!"
Ice Emperor stomped her feet in anger while holding onto Snow Emperor's hand.
Snow Emperor, dizzy from her sister's shaking, said with a sense of resignation, "She has high damage output... If you had high damage, you could also pretend not to care if you got the reward."
Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor almost burst into tears.
"But I do care, why pretend not to? I also want the reward, wuu wuu wuu—"
"Because she's a tsundere... Stop daydreaming, attack with all you've got, don't aim too high."
Although Snow Emperor herself was very... curious about the reward, she still maintained her rationality.
Gold Intermediate, over eight hundred thousand damage, huh? I can definitely do it too, hmph, thought Snow Emperor, gazing at Gu Yuena's retreating figure.
...
Done for, my mind is in chaos.
Elements, damage, how was I supposed to combine elements again??
Gu Yuena stood her ground, her beautiful eyes empty.
Her slender, fair ten fingers hung in mid-air, trembling as if she had Parkinson's, with various colored elemental particles flickering continually around her, even the Thunder and Lightning element that shouldn't be involved at the moment appeared.
So slow, time is moving so slowly, why isn't it evening yet!
Both nervous and anticipatory.
Will I end up too nervous to speak when the time comes? He's Lin Yi after all!
Lin Yi watched Gu Yuena's chaotic, paste-like elemental fluctuations in front of her, dumbfounded.
He asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"Ah?! I... I'm calculating! My damage has always been dealt out after extremely precise calculations! Yes, that's right."
In her hurry, Gu Yuena came up with an excuse and even affirmed it herself, trying her best to calm down and took a deep breath.
The various elements finally became clear.
The Ice element and Fire element began to take shape, but they seemed far less stable than before.
Lin Yi looked at her dubiously and said, "Okay, I'm really looking forward to your damage this time, it might be the first conventional attack to reach Gold-tier advanced."
Gu Yuena, upon hearing this, revealed a confident smile, "Of course."
The Fire Pistil was enveloped by the Ice Lotus, the Ice Lotus surrounded by wind petals, with Gold element particles encircling the outside, atop two spinning silver-grey bombs, flowers bloomed.
These two abstract-looking Skills were released towards Lin Yi, and at the moment of collision, the site was first filled with the near-dragon roar of the Wind element.
The blade-like wind swiftly passed above the stands, dispersing the various elemental particles into every empty space in the air, shimmering and waiting for the moment the Fire serpent spat its flames, like igniting a fuse, all the elements bombarded Lin Yi's body, ending with rose petals drifting down from the sky.
Gu Yuena looked at the red petals falling in the air, feeling extremely happy, even wanting to spin her body and dance beautifully amongst them.
However, she couldn't dance.
Lin Yi: "Damage 688467, Downgrade."
Gu Yuena: "Huh?!"
All the petals that had landed on the platform quickly withered, just like Gu Yuena's current mood.
The atmosphere became somewhat solidified.
Gu Yuena's previous statement, "Every attack I make is after extremely precise calculations," seemed to slap her own cheeks hard.
The fourth Downgrade within the Star Dou Great Forest Camp thus ridiculously occurred.
Di Tian's expression twisted with shock and bewilderment.
My lord, how could you too...
Lin Yi closed his eyes, rubbed his temples with slight resignation, "Who was it just now that confidently replied they were sure their damage would reach Gold-tier advanced this time?"
Gu Yuena's clear and loud "Of course" still echoed in his mind.
Lin Yi looked up to find the woman quietly sitting in a corner, seemingly sinking into an autistic state, shrouded in a large shadow behind her.
Zi Ji quietly said to Di Tian, "My lord was mad at me for being downgraded, but our downgrades were imposed on us, only our lord's downgrade is because of her own doing."
Gu Yuena: "..."
I don't need to discuss it so loudly, I can hear you... she suddenly didn't know what expression to face her subordinates with.
