This feeling and this scene may not mean much to some veterans in the love field, or to those who are just greedy for someone's body but have no real feelings.
It's like meeting someone in person online. You're a beginner and an introvert. You feel shy, excited, nervous, and at a loss. You can't even speak clearly.
But once it’s a veteran, he will just go up and give a hug openly, or even start biting her right away.
Of course, the premise is that the other party doesn't mind and likes you.
However, to Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao, they were not veterans. On the contrary, they were still extremely inexperienced. Before that, it could be said that they had never even held hands with a member of the opposite sex in the true sense.
At the same time, the feelings between them are deep-rooted.
How can I stay calm at this moment
So, what to do?!
At this moment, while they were nervous and excited, this thought popped up in their minds at the same time.
Generally speaking, you have to say something when you meet someone in person when you're dating online, right
But now, no one can hear what they say, as it is "harmonized" by various rules.
Holding hands? Watching a movie? Drinking a drink
Or should we kiss to ease the awkward atmosphere
Unfortunately, it’s impossible.
It seems that I can only watch like this.
After all, this was originally an attempt to confirm the feasibility and difficulty of this approach, to prepare and accumulate experience for the second, third, and even descending to the other party's time and space.
So, it seems that all we can do is watch.
The excitement and tension are easing.
As for the embarrassment...
Anyway, we can't communicate or contact each other, so we can only look at each other like this, which doesn't seem awkward.
It is of course very awkward not knowing what to say to your online lover in person, but if you can't say anything, then what's the point of being awkward
"cough."
Qi Zixiao coughed dryly, but unfortunately, only she could hear the sound.
Then, she discovered that her own dog thief on the other side had moved.
The figure covered with mosaics took a few steps forward and came to the edge of the river bank.
Seeing this, Qi Zixiao followed suit without thinking, even stepping half a foot out of the river bank, as if he might fall into the river at any time.
Then···
She saw Lin Fan slowly raise his right hand and place it in front of his chest.
The fingers seem to be making some movements, but unfortunately, I can't see them clearly.
Too blurry!
From her perspective, Lin Fan looked like an irregular mosaic cake.
Wave your hand.
She shook her hands repeatedly to indicate that she couldn't see clearly.
······
“···”
"The fingers are all blurred by the mosaic."
"Well, then..."
Through Qi Zixiao's actions and performance, Lin Fan discovered that since he couldn't see her fingers clearly, he also knew the situation from her current perspective.
Then, he put down his right hand and thought for a moment.
"Hmm~~~"
"Let's go big~!"
For a modern person who has been "influenced" by the Internet, who doesn't know a few gestures of making a heart shape with hands? !
This guy instantly changed the way he made the heart shape, from the 'little heart' made with his fingers, to a 'big heart' made with his arms bent above his head.
“Can you see this?”
He smiled.
Nervousness, excitement, embarrassment and so on will indeed be obvious at the beginning.
But now, we can’t talk or touch each other, we can only look at each other like this, isn’t it still like being in an online relationship? What’s there to be afraid of? !
When it comes to love, we may be timid in real life, but on the Internet, we can definitely "strike hard"~!
Give me a heart~~~
This guy has a bright smile.
I thought Qi Zixiao would also respond to me with a "big heart".
But Qi Zixiao suddenly paused, as if frozen, and then turned around and walked away towards "downstream".
"Hey? Why did you leave?"
Lin Fan stared, confused.
Indeed, this meeting has been regarded as the completion of the "mission". Knowing that Qi Zixiao's theory about the future is not wrong, they can indeed meet in this way, and even when they are strong enough, they can descend to each other's time and space to realize the true meaning of "meeting in person".
So, mission accomplished.
But this is our first meeting after all, why is he leaving in less than two minutes
Are you angry
The guy blinked his eyes and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be...could it be that she has no feelings for me?"
"Not really, this this this..."
If possible, this guy even wanted to wade into the river and catch up with Qi Zixiao to ask him about it.
What a pity, there is really no way to go there.
The river of time is not an ordinary river, not to mention that it is the 'main road'. Once you go into the river, you will be in trouble and may be trapped in it and unable to escape.
Fly over
Even more impossible!
Besides, even if I catch up with him, I can’t communicate with him and can’t ask him clearly...
Just when this guy was extremely anxious and confused, and Qi Zixiao's figure was almost out of sight, she suddenly turned around.
The blurry figure slowly tilted to one side, and then both arms were raised, forming a beautiful arc above the head.
Just a moment.
Fleeting...
Then, she sped away and completely disappeared from Lin Fan's sight.
"Pooh!"
The tributary belonging to her own time and space was getting closer and closer. Qi Zixiao looked back and could no longer see Lin Fan, but she couldn't help but let out a "Puh" sound.
Touching his own burning cheek, he cursed with a silly smile: "This son of a bitch."
"Watch face!"
······
Original place.
Lin Fan's panic and anxiety disappeared in an instant.
"Hey."
“Hehehe.”
Thinking of Qi Zixiao's "big heart" just now, this guy was so happy that he just laughed silly. He stood there grinning for a long time before he remembered to "return".
······
Return to Kunlun.
The long river of time disappeared quietly, and the Empress and the First Emperor came over at the first moment, both with solemn expressions.
"how?"
"how?"
Lin Fan and they spoke at the same time, and then they were all slightly stunned, and said softly: "You go first."
“It was a lot of noise.”
The First Emperor frowned, "For a while, even the river of time seemed to be flowing backwards, as if everything was suddenly reversed, but it soon recovered."
"Fortunately, it didn't cause any major impact, but according to the news from the front line, the commotion just now has alarmed the underworld, but they can't get in in a short time."
"However, this commotion is too loud, the underworld will definitely not let it go, but I don't know what means they will use."
“···”
Lin Fan nodded and said, "We do need to be vigilant."
"As for me...I guess I succeeded."
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at them with a complicated look, thinking of the original world and other parallel worlds...
Whether it was the Empress or the First Emperor, they had all long since turned into dry bones, and even their lonely graves were gone, right
So, what about my own space and time
Can they survive
As for the big noise they mentioned, the sudden reverse flow of the long river of time, it was most likely caused by themselves clearing the obstacles between the tributaries and the main river channel, right
"It won't take long for the answer to emerge."
call.
He took a deep breath and then said, "It's a pity that we can only have a quick glance and can't communicate, but I believe that things will get better soon."
"That's good."
The Empress and the First Emperor didn't know what to say at this moment.
Although the First Emperor is now a Daluo Jinxian, he finds that things are increasingly out of his control.
Up to now, all I can do is provide assistance.
After a brief exchange, Lin Fan came to a secluded place in the underworld and began to retreat.
"Leftover..."
"It seems that there are some clues."
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and had some ideas.
In the past, Qi Zixiao and I were desperately trying to find out the truth about what happened.
Up to now, more and more mysteries have been solved, and we even know that there is more than one mastermind behind the scenes, and the time travel of both parties was planned by Zhou Xiaoran...
But, what about the remaining ones? !
Who is he behind? What role does he play in this
Or in other words, Lu Ming!
If these two 'young men' who are the protagonist templates follow the normal routine, their achievements will definitely not be low, and even becoming 'rulers' will not make Lin Fan feel exceptional.
But here comes the problem.
They are the 'protagonist templates' and seem to be the 'destined protagonists'.
He and Qi Zixiao were the "artificial protagonists" after Zhou Xiaoran spied on the secrets of heaven.
But from the current perspective, it seems that the artificial protagonist has played a big role, while the destined protagonist is still "hiding" so far.
Lu Ming, who was originally a passionate protagonist, has also turned into a sinister and cowardly person.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong, but if you analyze it carefully, the problem will emerge.
How could a destined protagonist not do anything? !
So what exactly is their role
Given the existence of these two "chess pieces", what do you want these two "protagonist templates" to do and accomplish? !
Going further, who is this chess player
"In the past, I was completely puzzled, had no clues, and didn't know where to analyze or investigate, but now, I suddenly have some clues."
"Since the Ancient Heavenly Dao and the New Heavenly Dao are secretly fighting each other, combined with many other events..."
"Then I can preliminarily conclude that Gou Sheng and Lu Ming are actually both the 'protagonists' of the New Heavenly Dao."
"And their ultimate mission is probably to completely destroy the ancient Heavenly Dao and make the entire world belong to the new Heavenly Dao?"
"So, their ultimate achievement..."
"Or in other words, at least one person's ultimate achievement will be... above that of a saint?!"
"No, that's not right."
"The 'protagonist template' set by the New Heavenly Dao will definitely not be just one or two people. Perhaps there are hundreds or even tens of thousands of them."
“And in the end, as long as there is one success, it will achieve its purpose!”
"So, Gou Sheng and his kind, who were born in the 'new era', are the back-up and trump cards of the New Heavenly Dao!"
“···”
"Can we win over and cooperate?"
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
As more and more clues are revealed, the number of people involved becomes larger and larger.
Not long ago, he thought that the final opponent was a hidden saint. As long as he could prove the Dao of Hunyuan and achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian through force, he would be able to resist everything and break through by force.
But now it seems that the opponent is not only the saint, but also the way of heaven? !
Maybe it’s the ancient way of heaven + the new way of heaven!
Of course, it could be one.
This requires Lin Fan to make a choice.
Help whom?!
It's like a change of dynasties.
The ancient heavenly way and the hidden saints are mostly the "remnants" of the previous dynasty.
Xin Tiandao is the current emperor, and the protagonist template is the elite soldiers trained by the current emperor.
However, the remnants of the previous dynasty also have many generals who may seize power at any time, so the current emperor must be vigilant at all times!
Where are Lin Fan and Ji Chutong
In other words, together with the immortal cultivation world, they are all the "backup" of the "rebels".
That’s right, for the ancient Tiandao and the new Tiandao, Zhou Xiaoran’s actions are indeed equivalent to "rebels".
But until now, this "traitor" has gradually grown up.
Therefore, there are currently four options before the "rebel" Lin Fan.
Help the remnants of the previous dynasty, help the current emperor, help no one, kill them all, and... do nothing and watch the show!
However, it is doomed to be a bad idea to just watch the show. No matter who wins in the end, whether the emperor of the previous dynasty is restored to the throne or the emperor of the current dynasty remains in power, he will inevitably have to take action to "suppress the bandits" and kill the "rebels."
And who to help...
It basically means who wins!
However, when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bows are put away.
Haven’t you seen that many emperors, after firmly sitting on the throne, found ways to kill old and important ministers who had made outstanding contributions
Lin Fan felt that even if he could achieve the state of Hunyuan and not be subject to the jurisdiction of Heaven, he would still be targeted, no matter which Heaven won!
This is because Heaven will never allow a powerful being that it cannot control to be at large.
"So, the best option is to kill both Heavenly Daos and create completely new rules?!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured in his heart.
Make the rules!
The way of heaven is actually the rules.
An emotionless management machine!
It seems fair and just, but in reality, heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs.
He is not completely clear about the difference between the ancient Heavenly Dao and the new Heavenly Dao, nor does he know the specific rules of the two.
But, most likely they are not good things.
Whether it is for the sake of the people of the world or to avoid trouble for yourself in the future.
They should choose to destroy the ancient and new heavenly ways together, and then establish their own heavenly ways and create their own rules.
only···
He stroked his chin and whispered, "This way, the difficulty increases exponentially."
"But fortunately, I am not alone."
"At least, there might be some helpers."
"Leftover..."
“You can win over.”
Although I am not trying to help New Tiandao, and my purpose in cultivating Gousheng is different from that of New Tiandao, but~~~that is Gousheng.
Still a time traveler!
If it was someone like Lu Ming who was born and raised in the world of immortal cultivation, it might be difficult to explain to him, but as a time traveler, and a time traveler who is familiar with novels~
Lin Fan felt that it would not be a problem to convince Gou Sheng!
"So···"
"Next, what Zixiao and I have to do is to stabilize the battle between the two sides as much as possible and let it drag on."
"Also, we will win over some people and grow in secret until the day when we can break through!"
No matter which time and space, once the battle between the Yin and Yang worlds ends, it means the beginning of the final battle...
But now, the time is obviously not right.
So, we can only delay it!
Let the war between the two worlds drag on as long as possible.
This requires Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao to "regulate".
But it's not that easy.
After all, they don't have the power of a quasi-saint yet and need to continue growing.
Fortunately, whether it was the Earth period or the period of the myriad heavens and worlds, there were quasi-saints in the Yang World who could resist.
······
The war continues in all the heavens and worlds.
The vast river of time gradually calmed down after a period of shocking fluctuations.
When Qi Zixiao walked out of the long river of time and returned to the present world, the long river of time gradually disappeared, and seemed no different from before.
But at this moment, the immortals in both the Yin and Yang worlds were staring at Qi Zixiao and the dim river of time, wanting to know what Qi Zixiao had done during this period of time.
Especially the Golden Immortals in the underworld are extremely vigilant!
How could Qi Zixiao have gone to the long river of time for no reason and caused such a huge commotion? !
Therefore, they dare not take it lightly.
However, until Qi Zixiao returned to the world of immortal cultivation again, no major changes had occurred, which made the immortals in both the Yin and Yang worlds a little confused.
What's happening?!
Because of the noise Qi Zixiao made, the immortals in the Yin Realm were almost going crazy, attacking and charging frantically, while the Yang Realm could only try their best to stop them.
This directly led to a brutal battle between the two sides, and casualties soared sharply.
Then, the movement in the long river of time was also very big.
But now it seems like nothing happened? !
What the hell is going on?!
Confused!
Both sides were a little confused.
Especially an early stage Golden Immortal of the Yin Realm, who muttered at this moment: "I'm scared to death!"
"how?"
The other Golden Immortals were puzzled and asked through voice transmission during the battle.
"Qi Zixiao is proficient in the laws of time! She just entered the long river of time and went upstream. I don't know where she went."
"But it's hard to imagine that it must have been in the past!"
"And just now, there was such a shocking fluctuation. I thought she had a big fight with some powerful existence at some point in the past."
"Combining the current situation of the war between the Yin and Yang worlds, I thought...she went to the past and found us when we were still weak, and then..."
This early stage Daluo Jinxian had a rogue and fearful look on his face. He gently put his hands around his neck and then gently pulled it.
"If we kill our past selves, will our present selves still exist?"
All the Daluo Jinxian: “(⊙o⊙)···”
"Playing with time? It's more like being played with by time."
"joke!"
"You really are... But it's also true that you just entered Daluo and don't understand many things."
"What you said seems reasonable, but even that lord can't do it, let alone a mere Qi Zixiao?"
"Don't worry too much, be careful. These guys in the Yang Realm are fickle, and the people in the Eight Heavenly Palaces are even more treacherous. Don't fall into their trap!"
The Daluo Jinxian blinked: "Eh?"
“No need to understand!”
"Just be careful!"
Faced with the urging of others, he had no choice but to agree.
