Although he was a sad, lonely dog in his original world, he could change that in this world of Shen Juan Continent! As Xu Jun knows, this game had over one hundred character that could be captured1! Amongst them, tens of them could be dated but not married and over thirty of them that could be married!
As for the rest, they are all men. Who knows what the game designers were thinking; sometimes, it was actually easier to win over the capturable men, rather than the women! Many male characters even had a cute, yandere2 personality—stop messing around! This kind of personality on a man isn't cute at all! Open up your eyes widely and take a look! -Xu Jun, who proclaimed himself a straight man, hollered out while crying tears of blood.
On his first try at the game, he had played a holy class character and had hooked up with the Bright God Church's Holy Maiden. However, after he started trying to defeat the Demon King, he entered the inevitable struggle of gaining more power. The Bright God Church's3 Holy Maiden had gradually diverted from her original pure and delicate appearance, and was instead becoming stronger and stronger. They really started drift apart when the Holy Maiden said to him: "You don't belong to the Bright God Church, nor do you belong to me." After this sentence, he knew that he had entered the worst possible route.
It had felt like a real love affair. Xu Jun deleted that character and drank away his sorrow for two days. He continued this until the third day when Little Fatty came to find him, bawling while saying that he had broken up with a noble-born girl in the game. The two hugged each other and cried bitterly while expressing how lonely dogs shouldn't be trying to date. They will forever remain as lonely dogs; couples and sweethearts should just go die!
The two Valentine's Days after that, Xu Jun couldn't help but feel bitter. He wanted to hold a lighter in his left hand and the fire beneath his right whenever he went outside.
However, even though noble girls and the Bright God Church's Her Highness Holy Maiden might not suit his unambitious personality, the small town girls, the 'young miss next door' kind of girls, might actually give him a glance! He still remembered he had met two pretty and cute girls, when his character had passed through White River Town! During the few days he had stayed in White River Town, the two ladies had even flirted with him! They said they really liked the hero! Amongst the two, surely one would fall for him, right?_(:зゝ∠)_
Xu Jun heard the voice of Prince Ryan, who dwelled within his heart, ask: "Being a hero, and having killed the Demon King, you could be considered the savior of the world. Wouldn't a princess or holy maiden suit you better?"
Listening to the question, only an idiot with no relationship experiences would have asked it. Xu Jun thought in his heart that Prince Ryan was indeed too naïve. As expected of a man who could become a couple with the Demon King. Perhaps it is because of how pure he was that the degenerate Demon King Rozenke became interested in this person. ->_-> Not only did Xu Jun feel a bit smug, he also started to teach Prince Ryan of his own life experiences: "You don't understand. Feelings are a complicated matter. It's not just a question of suitability—ahh, being able to live in a small town with enough to eat, enough to drink, and a peace of mind, is the best after all."
Demon King Rozenke though in his heart, aren't you just lazy? Only god knows why a hero like you killed me.
Xu Jun felt that his view on love was quite mature. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he bought two pieces of fried patty, with a heart full of satisfaction, that were left over from yesterday. He didn't care about stuff like how he shouldn't eat greasy things for breakfast, and instead called Ti Na to head downstairs and eat.
Ti Na, this brat, wasn't actually very obedient. Whining, he scowled at Xu Jun. Xu Jun immediately spanked him: "I'll give you five minutes. Wash up, brush your teeth, and get dressed or you're not getting food."
This kind of attitude was something quite familiar. Anyone who saw it would think he was a young father who was kind towards his child.
Ti Na became even more depressed; he still remembered what happened last night! He had actually admitted defeat! Looking at this man called Xu Jun, he would actually think of his own father! Furthermore, he had even felt for a moment that Xu Jun was a nice person who was also very kind to him: almost as kind as his father!
The brat felt sorry for his blood-related father. He felt sorry that someone had won him over with just a few patties…
Later, when he went downstairs, he saw Xu Jun near the door, holding two patties wrapped in paper, smiling at him: "Yo, you didn't take long. Come have breakfast."
Ti Na loudly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Eve-even though he had eaten meat last night, an-and had never been an undisciplined, gluttonous child…but, he still really wanted to eat!
Xu Jun saw the child's difficult expression and purposely lifted his arms: "You can't reach it, you can't reach it~"
Ti Na hugged onto Xu Jun's thigh and climbed upwards. It was such a shame that sand leopards were not born with any talent for tree climbing, and Ti Na could only pout while looking at the naïve and evil man before him. A few people off to the side were also laughing at them: "What are you fighting with a child for? What kind of parenting is this?"
Thus, this naïve hero smiled even more happily, embarrassed, and his clear blue eyes squinted slightly, resembling a content kitty who had basked in the sun.
Ti Na pulled on Xu Jun's thigh, feeling that the sun was really warm all of a sudden.
If you raise your hands up that high, oil will drip onto your clothes!" Demon King Rozenke reminded.
Xu Jun quickly lowered the patty: "Ah, ah, ah, that's true—it would be hard to wash out!!!"
The Bright God Church's Holy Son rode a white horse into the City of Wilderness. For the sake of convenience, he did not notify the City Lord, but rather entered the city with the identity of a commoner. He was covered in dust and his handsome face lacked any expression. It couldn't be seen what his attitude was towards the Savior Hero of the Shen Juan Continent, Xu Jun, whom he was about to meet. He had only brought his trusted golden knight, Nar.
Nar had always been solemn and quiet; he was good at listening and was a man of few words. It wasn't known why he had become a close confidant of the lively and frivolous Holy Son, and even becoming His Highness Holy Son Daeniste's Guardian Knight. He knows that His Highness Holy Son Daeniste is someone who loved to speak and laugh. The Elder's Circle, those old fogeys, even reprimanded him in private for "not being serious enough, and undeserving of being the Holy Son." Nar, though, really liked this smiling personality of the Holy Son Daeniste. Although he doesn't say it, whenever he heard His Highness the Holy Son speak, he would feel a sense of peaceful satisfaction.
He vaguely knew that the His Highness the Holy Son was born in an orphanage, and that the Holy Son had a good friend named Xu Jun in his childhood. Later on, Xu Jun went on to become a hero… and what was amazing was that this hero, Xu Jun, was the one who killed the Demon King Rozenke. Therefore His Highness the Holy Son came here just to find Xu Jun this time. They couldn't arrive with great fanfare because most of the current powers still didn't know who exactly eliminated the Demon King. If they attracted too much attention, it would be easy for the other powers to exploit them.
Originally, reuniting with a childhood friend, who is now the savior of the world, after many years was a great thing.
However, His Highness Holy Son Daeniste was abnormally silent. His expression was uncommonly solemn, and his lips were pursed tightly together.
Is it because he was worried about not being able to find Hero Xu Jun, and getting mocked by the Elder's Circle? Is it because he doubted the Demon King hadn't actually died? Or is it because even though the Demon King had died, the demonic forces haven't really diminished?
Nar couldn't tell what Holy Son Daeniste was thinking, and could only try to take better care of the Holy Son. Not only keeping him safe, but also care for his emotional wellbeing, so as to avoid any unexpected situations.
Then, spurring his horse into the City of Wilderness, following the prophecy by heading from north to south, all the way until almost exiting the southern gate…Nar saw His Highness the Holy Son open his tightly shut lips, spitting out a single name wordlessly:
"Xu Jun."
He then looked forward and saw, a handsome, righteous young man standing before a small building, currently smearing sauce on a small child's patty. It was quite heartwarming.
Looking again, a sign extended out from the small building's doorway, on it were two boldly written words: "Gambling House."
This man is most definitely not the Hero Xu Jun! This man is absolutely not the Hero Xu Jun! This man cannot be Hero Xu Jun!
Having already started worrying about his family's His Highness the Holy Son's range of friends, the Golden Knight Nar's inner heart also became very solemn.
The Author has something to say:
The honest Golden Knight Nar's inner heart suffered ten thousand points of damage: Shen Juan Continent's savior, Xu Jun, actually went to a gambling house! His Highness the Holy Son's friend, Xu Jun, actually went to a gambling house!!!
His Highness the Holy Son—may the esteemed you quickly go change his ways!!!
The Bright Holy Son Daeniste (excitedly rubbing his hands): What a great atmosphere! Xu Jun, you actually came here to play without bringing me along!
Nar: –No!!!
