Chapter 27
"Master! You're back!" Pom Pom was as fluffy and happy as ever.
"Yup, load my save. I gotta get married." Fan Hui chuckled.
"Eh?!" Pom Pom was a little shocked at this sudden announcement but was still happy for his master.
"Shocking, right? I mean with these looks, don't you think that my groom will be utterly shocked?" Fan Hui laughed with great amusement.
"..." Pom Pom was hesitant to reply out of fear of angering his master.
"Hm? Don't hold in your curiosity, it makes you look constipated." Fan Hui criticized.
"Eh?! Really?" Pom Pom desperately wanted a mirror.
"Yes, really. Now then, if you won't ask me any questions, I have to get going." Fan Hui said impatiently.
"Oh, okay..." Pom Pom seemed a little down, the image of this sad tiger could pull the heartstrings of any viewer...
Well, except for Fan Hui who was in a rush to arrive at her favorite show; her hubby not realizing that it's his wifey and trying to kill her!
It's a rather refreshing topic if you ask Fan Hui.
Though, she personally is looking forward to the second arc, in which her hubby realizes that it was her all along and grovels at her feet.
The game loaded and once again she spawned in the final boss's garden.
"Now I'm really curious about why I always spawn here." Fan Hui looked around her curiously.
"Oh right, not the time." Fan Hui tapped the hub teleporter. But unexpectedly, she didn't teleport to Qing Shang.
"Strange, I don't make mistakes with my coding, so it must be an issue with the server. It's either that, or he's already nearby."
Sure enough, standing about 15 meters away from her was Qing Shang... and unbelievably Clarice was standing next to him too.
Unfortunately, the flowers only reached her ankles and there were no available hiding spots. So Fan Hui was now just standing there, sticking out like a sore thumb.
Thankfully, at least one of them didn't seem to notice her presence. But she was most definitely seen by Qing Shang, there was no doubt about it, he was staring directly at her with an odd expression on his face.
Clarice, on the other hand, had her back turned to Fan Hui, so she was still ignorant of the current situation.
"My offer still stands, but if you still won't accept, then I hope we can still be a party together." Clarice had the classic white lotus look.
'3 out of 10, she could use more tears and less pout,' Fan Hui rated Clarice's white lotus appearance.
"You brought me here for this?" Origin glared at Clarice as if looking at a fly.
"Well... you know the legend of this place, don't you?" Clarice looked hopeful.
"Legend? Did one of the programmers add something stupid again? I should ask my wifey to help with cleaning up the bugs..." Origin murmured under his breath.
But of course, Fan Hui heard every word and had to suppress a laugh from escaping her mouth.
"No, I don't know of it. Now if that's all, you should leave." Origin was irritated, all he wanted to do was find his wifey. But there were always bugs constantly swarming.
Clarice clenched her fists in frustration and tried one last time to try to sway Origin's heart. But when she saw him with his back turned away from her, she finally teleported away.
Whilst Fan Hui was gazing at this one-sided love scene with mild interest she received a private message.
{Whisper}[Origin]: Wifey?
{Whisper}[QingFan]: Who?
Fan Hui smirked, 'Might as well have some fun.'
Not even a second after she responded, a world shaking message entered the game's world chat.
{World}[Origin]: I found my wife, but she won't acknowledge me. (◞‸◟)
{World}[Qing4ever]: NANI?!?!!?!! DAFUQ?!?!?! Is it that Claw rice girl? Imma kill her!!
{World}[SimplePasserby]: Don't you mean Clarice?
{World}[Hermit]: I don't think that's the point right now.
{World}[LordofSky]: Bro! I thought you were going to be single forever!
{World}[Sky]: Like you're one to talk.
{World}[LordofSky]: T-T Help, my wife abuses me.
{World}[Sky]: What wife?
{World}[LordofSky]: You of course!
{World}[Sky]: No such thing.
{World}[LordofSky]: T-T
{World}[SimplePasserby]: RIP LordofSky.
{World}[SereneLake]: We should get back on track.
{World}[GreenHouse]: Yeah, like why is Origin suddenly in love?! And where did this person come from?! What's more, who would dare deny THE Origin?!
{World}[Qing4ever]: There's no way someone denied my Qing Qing!
{World}[UrDelusional]: See my name for my thoughts.
{World}[CryingInaCorner]: Are we not gonna mention how he used an emoticon for the first time ever?
{World}[FloatingCloud]: We're getting off track again.
{World}[Zeppelin]: Who is this mysterious wife anyway?
Fan Hui still hadn't enabled the world chat so she wasn't aware of the huge waves that she had created in this gaming community.
But she was aware of Qing Shang suddenly walking towards her direction.
Fan Hui debated teleporting away or not, but she was kind of interested in whether or not he would find out her identity or slice her up for spying on his private conversation.
Though to be fair, if they had really wanted privacy, they would have chatted in the whisper chat.
"My fan, right?" Qing Shang smiled deviously, if his wifey wanted some fun, then he would gladly oblige.
Rather than getting ticked off, like she had previously done, she seriously contemplated whether she was considered his fan now.
'I mean, I am his wife now, plus getting mad earlier was all part of me trying to throw him off my tracks, but if we're just going to get married in game, I suppose there's no sense in continuing this farce, so I'll concede, but only this once.'
"Indeed I am." Fan Hui laughed.
"I see, then keep up the good work." Qing Shang patted her head.
"Only if you work with me." Fan Hui winked. But instead of an alluring image, her ugly looks made the scene look like it was from a horror game.
Pom Pom, who was watching from the inside of Fan Hui's pouch, was so scared that it started shedding all of its fluffy fur.
It was then that Fan Hui suddenly realized the power of an ugly face. In all of her lifetimes not once was she ever ugly, at the very least she was plain looking.
"This destructive power, I should have used it sooner," Fan Hui felt an intense regret, "All the people I could have scared and scarred."
Qing Shang, in the meanwhile, was patting his wifey's head to his heart's content. It seemed that Qing Shang was immune to any appearance. All that mattered to him was his wifey.
"I'm sorry wifey, I almost hurt you." Qing Shang pouted and gave puppy eyes to Fan Hui, "If you don't forgive me I'll turn my pain resistance to zero, and you can chop me up with the beginner's sword."
Fan Hui sighed, "and just how long would it take to kill you?"
"You wouldn't, because the beginner's sword only does one damage, and my natural regeneration is in the thousands. But it would hurt a lot!" Qing Shang explained.
"Are you actually a masochist?" Fan Hui laughed.
"If you want me to be!" Qing Shang smiled.
"...Tempting, but I don't have a lot of time to waste, so we'll have to postpone that for another time. Besides I'd rather not have a masochistic husband as of now. So just stick to your yandere ways hubby." Fan Hui kissed him.
Fan Hui had already expected that he would probably beat himself up for nearly harming her, but since he was her husband now, there's no more need to dwell over past grievances. Let bygones be bygones.
Well... that would be the case for a normal wife, but Fan Hui had a few more tricks up her sleeves.
