Chapter 149: I Choose Duan Lanruo to Live


    Was this the Immortal cultivation version of ‘who would you save first if your mother and I fell into the water’?


    Liu Yuan, who took half a step back, looked calm, but he slowly formed a question in his heart.


    In fact, this was the question he had asked Shen Sifan in the game. The reason was that he had more time and wanted to see how good the AI of the game was. He had asked, ‘if your brother and I were mortals without any abilities, who would you save if we fell into the water?’


    Shen Sifan’s answer was without hesitation.


    “You.”


    Liu Yuan asked if her brother knew how to swim.


    Shen Sifan shook his head and said no.


    Liu Yuan then asked why he had chosen him.


    Shen Sifan said that without the Pavilion Master, Taiqing Pavilion would be fine, but without Junxuan, Shen Sifan would not be safe.


    In other words, her brother, Shen Lin, was only the Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Pavilion to her. He was the one who gave her the responsibility. The only person who would be affected was the Taiqing Pavilion. As for Liu Yuan, it was her personal matter.


    But now, he was returning the favor.


    Although Shen Sifan’s martial strength was outstanding, and Liu Yuan had once acted in front of her with Duan Lanruo in a weird plot like ‘the City Lord slept with a child husband’, which made her a cuckold.


    Compared to Ye Cike’s scamming of money, this seemed to be even worse.


    If it was not for the City Lord’s protection, he would have been beheaded.


    However, when Shen Sifan suddenly appeared in front of him and asked such a standard question, Liu Yuan did not feel afraid or horrified.


    At most, his heart would skip a beat.


    Then, he did not feel anything.


    When the same thing was repeated many times, people would be numb.


    From the time he transmigrated, could he still count the number of times Liu Yuan had been caught in the act of adultery?


    Liu Yuan expressed that small scenes like this could no longer scare him.


    There was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted tough.


    However, he could notugh at this question. He definitely would not give up on Duan Lanruo. But now that Shen Sifan had asked this question, he had to choose between the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords and the Green Lotus Swordsman.


    Liu Yuan’s mind was nk for a moment.


    If it was his first instinct, it would definitely be Duan Lanruo, but now that Shen Sifan was asking, the answer she wanted was definitely herself, not some rational analysis or verbal escape.


    If Liu Yuan had said that it was Duan Lanruo, the Green Lotus Swordsman might have immediately drawn her sword and killed him, ending all troubles.


    However, Liu Yuan had already fully expressed his feelings for Duan Lanruo before, and now that he said he would choose Shen Sifan… It was inevitable that she would think that he was fickle and casually trying to fool her.


    Taking a step back, what if Shen Sifan chose to believe him and happily kidnapped Liu Yuan on the spot? When another woman (Duan Lanruo) came over, she would say that Liu Yuan had said this. Wouldn’t that be a straight-up GG?


    Liu Yuan fell silent and kept his mouth shut.


    The Green Lotus Swordman seemed to have expected this and continued, “I know you’re hesitating.”


    “It’s impossible for me to attack City Lord Duan. At least, I can’t kill her. I represent the Taiqing Pavilion, and she’s a 9-star swordsmith of the Sword Pavilion. The conflict between us represents the deterioration of the rtionship between the two forces.”


    Shen Sifan said slowly, “I can’t make an enemy for Taiqing Pavilion for no reason. Besides, I don’t want you to hate me. I won’t do anything to your woman. Just treat it as if I’m like you at that time, casually joking. I just want an answer. After I answer, you can continue thepetition.”


    In the face of this impossible question, who would dare to say that this was a joke?


    Liu Yuan was silent for a long time, then he took a deep breath and said, ” “I choose Duan Lanruo to live.”


    Shen Sifan’s expression did not seem to change. It seemed to have softened a little, but this gentleness did not ease the tension. Instead, it turned into an even calmer calm, like a river that flowed endlessly in one direction from summer to winter was finally about to dry up in the middle of a long period, strangled by the soil that it relied on to survive.


    A trace of sadness suddenly appeared in the heart of the green Lotus swordsman. He didn’t even want to lie to her?


    “But…”


    Liu Yuan pivoted, saying, “I will die with you.”


    Shen Sifan was stunned for a moment, then she heard Liu Yuan continue, “Between you and her, life and death is a choice. I can’t lie to myself, and I can’t lie to you either. Right now, I will only choose Duan Lanruo. But one day, if the two of you are in danger at the same time, let’s say it’s like what I said at that time — If you both fell into a river.”


    “Then, I’ll save her and let myself sink with you.”


    “…”


    The expression on Shen Sifan’s face became a little subtle, but her eyes, which had already dimmed, lit up again. Her emotions had been disrupted before they had time to sink, and she did not know whether tough or cry.


    What kind of answer is this greedy and cunning guy giving?


    “Sophistry, sophistry, this can’t be considered an answer at all!” Shen Sifan rebuked. She tried to sound stern, but it was more like he was throwing a tantrum. Her tone was much gentler than before.


    The woman did not notice that her eyes were misty, as if they were covered with water.


    Liu Yuan looked at her and spread his hands. “I’ve already answered your question, so why can’t it be considered an answer?”


    Shen Sifan choked and was speechless. He had indeed given a positive answer.


    He had chosen Duan Lanruo.


    But why could she not get angry…?


    Liu Yuan was tantly saying, ‘Both of you are my wings, and I can’t let either of you go’. But Shen Sifan did not feel repulsed at all.


    “Alright, I know you’ve chosen Duan Lanruo.”


    The woman’s face suddenly turned cold. She pursed her lips and said, “you should go to the convention, it’s almost your turn.”


    She turned around and left after she finished speaking. Her green dress disappeared into the crowd like ink dripping into the ocean. It disappeared in an instant.


    Liu Yuan watched her leave and heaved a sigh of relief after a long while.


    “F*ck, I survived.”


    He clenched his fists so tightly that his palms were sweating.


    Fortunately, today’s God of Conquering Strategy performed as he usually did.


    Finally, there was no ident. It was really not easy for him to survive this crisis.


    Liu Yuan suddenly heard the disciple from the Sword Pavilion shout the number 66. He thought to himself that he was really lucky today.


    Although Shen Sifan’s progress bar was still unlocked, Liu Yuan was sure that at least she had gradually epted the fact that she was Liu Yuan’s harem from this moment on. It was just that her attitude had not changed enough.


    Liu Yuan went up to the stage and turned around to see Ling Yu’s familiar figure. When Ling Yu saw him, her expression was very subtle, but she still greeted him as if nothing had happened.


    Ling Yu saw that Liu Yuan’s first opponent was Yan Guanlin.


    She was still thinking about the conversation between Shen Sifan and Liu Yuan just now.


    …


    Shen Sifan, who was hiding in the dark, lowered her head, her ck hair falling like a waterfall.


    “Damn it, he clearly chose Duan Lanruo…”


    Green Lotus Swordsman muttered and touched her chest. Her heart was beating fast, with a faint joy and pride that she did not want to admit.
