Chapter 49 Let's stay here forever, just you and me.
Cheng Xiao finally understood why Long Yingxue hadn't chosen a powerful skill to directly destroy the Cheng family.
It turns out that she wanted to make Chengjia her own territory and stay there forever.
I must take good care of the place where I live.
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Long Yingxue continued talking non-stop, and even began to plan for the future.
"After that, we'll stay here. Anyway, the Cheng family members are all dead, so no one will bother us anymore. We'll raise some spirit beasts again and rebuild the Cheng family. You'll be the head of the Cheng family from now on. Of course, there's one thing I need to say in advance: we definitely won't be raising snakes this time."
"I know it might be tough at first, but I'll help you. I'm sure I can raise your spirit beasts well. Once you've settled down and have a decent amount of money, I'll help you get five... no! ten wives! There might be a lot of kids, but I can help you take care of them too."
"Although our relationship started as a transaction, the transaction is over now. I helped you take revenge on the Cheng family, and I hereby unilaterally declare that you no longer need to help me. The Dragon Palace is very dangerous, extremely dangerous. We can't do anything on our own."
"But as long as we live together, and we live well together, isn't that good enough? I've already thought it through. From now on, I'll be the patriarch of the Cheng family. Just imagine, a family with a dragon in charge, doesn't that sound incredibly prestigious..."
Long Yingxue said a lot in one breath.
Whether out of guilt or fear of being rejected by Cheng Xiao, she didn't stop talking once she started.
She wanted to continue speaking, but she found that Cheng Xiao was just looking at her quietly, with no reaction on his face. There was neither surprise nor disappointment, only calmness.
But this only intensified her fear.
It's better to have a response than no response.
Long Yingxue couldn't continue speaking in the end.
"Stay, stay with me. I don't care about anything else as long as you're here." After saying her last words, she fell silent, looking down at her wobbling legs, awaiting the final verdict.
What will Cheng Xiao think of her?
Will I be disappointed, think she's weak, or something else?
Long Yingxue didn't know why she had said those words. She had already said them, but when she tried to recall them, her mind was completely blank.
She had only one thought in her mind: she didn't want to lose this hard-won happiness.
Compared to this happiness, revenge doesn't seem so important anymore.
As Long Yingxue spoke, Hakimi frantically alerted Cheng Xiao's mind.
"Say no! Don't let her continue down this path! How did things get like this? If she doesn't want to go back and reclaim the throne, are we going to be stuck here forever?"
Hakimi had only one idea: to get Cheng Xiao to straighten out the distorted storyline.
The script shouldn't be like this.
They should just kill the Dragon Palace and make Long Yingxue the new Dragon King, instead of letting her stay here for the rest of her life.
Although Hakimi made it sound very serious, he wasn't actually that panicked.
After all, Cheng Xiao probably doesn't want to stay in this instance forever.
He is a true "speedrunner".
To gain even a little more favorability, they would go to any lengths, even abusing the female lead!
But Cheng Xiao's next sentence caused Hakimi to completely lose his composure.
He didn't know if the world had gone mad, or if he had gone mad.
"Okay," Cheng Xiao replied with a smile.
Just two words instantly excited Long Yingxue, who was originally nervous and at a loss.
She jumped off the chair, hugged Cheng Xiao's waist, and shook him violently. She was even afraid it was all a dream, and asked again to confirm, "Really? You really want to stay with me?"
"Mm." Cheng Xiao nodded.
Long Yingxue felt as if she were dreaming; everything seemed so unreal.
She finally grasped this hard-won happiness.
From that moment on, she would never let go again.
"Wait here, I'll tidy up the house right now." She kept pacing around in place. "Oh dear, I left a few servants behind, why did I kill them all? It's okay, it's okay, I should be able to manage by myself."
Cheng Xiao smiled as he looked at everything before him.
"There's still a lot to prepare. After all, we'll need to make a living in the future. I also need to check on the Cheng family's finances and see how much money they've saved..."
The young man reclaimed the Supreme Bone, gained the loyalty of the Dragon Girl, and resumed control of the family, just like the grand finale in a storybook.
Everything was so beautiful.
Long Yingxue told Cheng Xiao to go back and rest first, while she flew out and went to get busy.
Hakimi finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted into Cheng Xiao's mind, "What's wrong? Is this the finale? Are you really planning to stay in this instance forever?"
He is now completely unable to comprehend the host's brain circuits.
If they could simply storm the Dragon Palace now and use his overwhelming power to help Long Yingxue ascend the throne, they could complete their mission and return to their previous world.
But he chose the most controversial playing style.
I agree to the female lead's request to "stay forever".
In a visual novel, this would definitely be a bad ending.
Nothing was resolved; all that remained was that elusive and unattainable love.
"I've told you before, observe and learn more, and don't speak carelessly before you've figured things out." Cheng Xiao walked to the door and looked at the busy Long Yingxue.
She used a clone spell, making one dragon do a bunch of things, and wished she could clean the Cheng family home in one night.
This time it was Hakimi's turn to be confused. He said helplessly, "Brother, the favorability rating is full, and we're only one step away from completing the mission. What are you planning to do next?"
He always thought Cheng Xiao was a "speedrunner," otherwise he wouldn't have cleared the first dungeon so easily.
The result was actually a "complete collection player"?
"Tell me, if the favorability rating is already maxed out, what will happen if it goes up further? Will there be any extra rewards?" Cheng Xiao asked.
Hakimi replied like a customer service representative, "Dear player, rest assured, absolutely not. It's either 'slightly full' or 'extremely full'. How could that be?"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Cheng Xiao replied.
To avoid Hakimi constantly causing trouble in his mind afterward, he took the initiative to explain his plan.
At first, he was somewhat surprised when he heard Long Yingxue say that she wanted to stay forever.
He didn't expect that reaching the maximum favorability rating ahead of time would trigger such a plot. He felt that if the favorability rating were slightly lower, even 90, the plot wouldn't have unfolded this way.
The two then stormed the Dragon Palace together to complete their mission.
But Long Yingxue's affection for him was so high that she didn't even want to go back for revenge.
Cheng Xiao originally wanted to refuse her outright and give her a good scolding to reignite her hatred.
But in just a moment, he understood.
Why not turn the tables on them?
The greater the happiness, the more painful it will be when it is broken. He first indulged Long Yingxue, and then broke this happiness with his own hands. Maybe he can even gain some goodwill in the end.
Hakimi roughly understood that Cheng Xiao was planning to torture the female protagonist, using the same tactic as in the first instance.
"So how do you plan to break through then? If you come in person, it'll be good if your favorability doesn't drop, it might even turn negative, and then we really can't go back!" His tone was full of worry.
"Who said I came in person?"
Cheng Xiao looked towards the eastern sky, where a beautiful sunset was taking place.
"From the moment I reduced the old Dragon King to ashes, the Dragon Palace had already received the news. I deliberately left a loophole, and it was only a matter of time before they found us. Some hatreds cannot be easily discarded."
