I Just Want to Live a Good Life, But I Surpassed the Protagonist – 41 The End is a New Beginning

If we count the assessment of going up the mountain, there are a total of five levels of assessment, and now they are all over.

Ye Yong felt that the assessment was not exciting, mainly because he did not participate in the assessment when going up the mountain. Because when reading the novel, the protagonist was hunted down by the villain sent by the protagonist, and it was really interesting to dodge traps and fight back.

It’s a pity that the reality is that even if Ye Yong is allowed to participate in the mountain climbing assessment, he will still go smoothly.

“Alas.” Sometimes Ye Yong feels that it is really boring to be a villain who lives a comfortable life. It seems that targeting the protagonist is the only way out… That’s strange, Ye Yong has Wu Xue, a cute little girl , to tease, why go after the protagonist To? If he can clear the relationship, he would rather clear it up and never have any contact.

He was just thinking about calling over Little Cutie Wu Xue to pinch her face when Qin Shimeng came over to his side.

Although she was wearing a veil, her graceful figure and bright eyes still revealed Qin Shimeng’s charm. The feeling of half-covering her face with a pipa made her even more like a goddess in the eyes of those casual cultivators.

Qin Shimeng had long been used to being watched and had learned to ignore it. At this moment, there was only Ye Yong in her eyes, and she was full of curiosity: “You really are a hidden expert.”

“Miss Qin, you’re making fun of me. I was just lucky.” Ye Yong smiled faintly, without showing off at all.

Favorability +2.

Qin Shimeng felt that she could see through Ye Yong less and less, and discovered more and more of his outstanding qualities. She became more and more curious about him: “Let’s be friends, shall we?”

Qin Shimeng was truly beautiful without friends. Maids and servant girls didn’t count, and the young ladies of her age from her family were unwilling to approach her at all. And those young masters couldn’t just want to be friends with her; their motives were impure, so she had always been alone.

The previous Ye Yong had indeed made her disgusted, but now, he really gave her a comfortable feeling. He wouldn’t look at her with possessive eyes, and wouldn’t deliberately flatter or cater to her when he spoke. Everything was so natural .

“It’s a pity we didn’t meet earlier. Everyone has their own destiny, and it’s not heartless, it’s just that the fate of separation and reunion is hard to predict.” When Ye Yong was waiting in line for the assessment, he searched the system store for poetry from Earth and actually found it.

However, because it belonged to a foreign culture, the price was almost as high as ten years’ worth of immortal herbs, costing Ye Yong 5,000 Reversal Points.

But in order to show off and gain Qin Shimeng’s favor more easily, he bought the Complete Book of Poetry without hesitation.

Moreover, besides Qin Shimeng, there were other heroines who liked poems, songs, and prose. Anyway, Ye Yong wouldn’t lose out on this.

After finishing the poem, Ye Yong continued to show off: “Although you and I have had some unpleasantries in the past, sometimes the end is a new beginning. You ask if we are friends, but in fact, when you asked this question, you and I both had the answer in our hearts.”

“It’s a pity we didn’t meet earlier. Everyone has their own destiny…” Qin Shimeng repeated Ye Yong’s words, as if savoring something: “Is this also a poem written by your friend?”

“That’s right.” Ye Yong couldn’t possibly claim to be a literati now, right? Moreover, although he had the Complete Book of Poetry, he also had to pay attention to the occasion. Otherwise, if he suddenly came up with a poem like “I Don’t Realize It’s Dawn After a Night of Spring Sleep,” Qin Shimeng would definitely think he was an idiot.

Anyway, Ye Yong believed that after he said more flirtatious words, Qin Shimeng would discover that the friend he was talking about was himself. That way, Qin Shimeng might even think he was humble, and her favorability would increase even further.

As expected, at the right time, he said the right flirtatious words, and Qin Shimeng’s favorability increased by another 3.

In the past, as she broke through, she would also increase by 1 or 2 points. Now, it had reached 36, and her attitude towards Ye Yong was [A friend who can be confided in].

Recalling the -87 when they first met, this change was simply too great, okay? This was a height that the ‘Ye Yong’ in the novel could never reach in his life.

“Your friend is indeed very talented… I really hope to meet him when I have time, to record his poems and write a book of poetry.”

“I’ll ask him later and get him to write a book.”

“Didn’t you say that he was traveling and couldn’t be found, and that he never published poems?”

“Er… people can change, right?” Ye Yong smiled.

Qin Shimeng also narrowed her eyes, as if she was smiling: “Since that’s the case, don’t call me Miss Qin anymore. Call me…”

“Shimeng?” Ye Yong blurted out.

In the past, ‘Ye Yong’ had always called Qin Shimeng this way. At that time, Qin Shimeng only felt disgusted and sick. But now, these two words spoken from Ye Yong’s mouth made her feel very close. At least, it was more comfortable than calling her Miss Qin.

Qin Shimeng didn’t answer. Ye Yong probably also knew what she meant, but he wanted to tease her, so he said: “I was being presumptuous. I’ll just call you Miss Shimeng.”

“No.” Qin Shimeng said softly: “Just, just Shimeng is fine.”

If Ye Yong didn’t have the Favorability System to check her favorability, seeing Qin Shimeng’s rare shy appearance, he would definitely think that she liked him.

According to Earth’s psychology research, once a man thinks that a woman likes him, he will often have a lot of inexplicable self-confidence and confusing words and actions. At that time, even if the woman really likes him a little, she will become disgusted.

Ye Yong felt that her favorability had to reach 80 to be considered truly favorable, like Little Cutie Wu Xue.

“Shimeng, you want to ask me why I used to have a five-colored foundation, but when I was tested just now, it was seven-colored, right?” Ye Yong knew that Qin Shimeng would definitely be curious because becoming stronger was her wish.

“I don’t. I don’t want to waste our friendship because of such a thing.”

“Oh, well, even if you don’t ask me, I planned to tell you.”

Nonsense. Qin Shimeng would become a female immortal emperor in the future. She was just starting out now, and her fortuitous encounters and other things hadn’t come to her yet. When she encountered fortuitous encounters and her cultivation and strength skyrocketed, what did she have to do with Ye Yong? So while she was still weak, he would help her as much as possible, making her feel that she owed him something. That was the best way.

“This, is this really okay?” Because she was sure that Ye Yong also regarded her as a friend, Qin Shimeng began to want to maintain their friendship. She didn’t want Ye Yong to think that she was approaching him just to become stronger.

Becoming stronger was indeed important, but having a friend she could confide in was also very important.

Qin Shimeng had never tried to make friends before. Ye Yong was the first time, no, the first person.

“What’s wrong with that?”

Ye Yong and Qin Shimeng were whispering, which attracted the attention of the people around them.

One was an extremely handsome man, and the other was a celestial beauty. Each of them would be remarkably eye-catching on their own, let standing alone together.

When they saw Ye Yong bring his mouth close to Qin Shimeng’s ear, the male cultivators were furious.

Don’t come near my goddess! You bastard!

Some male cultivators even wanted to take Ye Yong’s place. If they could just touch Qin Shimeng, they would die without regrets.

As for the female cultivators, they were screaming in their hearts.

Don’t seduce my male god! You slut!

Seven-colored Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment Level 10 at the age of 18, top-grade Wind Spirit Root. Ye Yong was simply a partner who was even more perfect than ideal.

It was the first time Qin Shimeng had been so close to a man. Ye Yong’s breath, as he spoke, hit her ear. Her originally pink ears turned red even faster.

Favorability +2.

Ye Yong suddenly felt that Qin Shimeng’s favorability wasn’t actually that hard to increase. Although the amount added was less than the cute Wu Xue, after all, no matter how aloof she was, the current Qin Shimeng was just a 17-year- old girl, and it was still relatively easy to stir up ripples in her heart.
