By the time Jiang Ming left Yuan Chunhua's office, he had realized that Yuan Chunhua was no longer on the site.
"Damn it, I was just a bit late and she was gone already?" Jiang Ming clicked his tongue. He was completely dumped and left behind without a single notice.
Luckily, he was able to use his spiritual perception to notice the secret trailing that was placed by Yuan Chunhua. Otherwise, he would have been forced to go solo and get punished by Yang Liqin.
Although he wasn't scared of any form of punishment, the thought of not being able to make love with Yang Liqin frightened him deeply. Yang Liqin's body figure and her unique aura were completely different from Bing Tong and Hong Ling.
In his heart and mind, Yang Liqin would always be his number one woman.
Nothing else could change that, and he couldn't understand if it was because of the original Jiang Ming's mindset that had affected him. However, what he did know was that he could never imagine losing Yang Liqin.
Sometime later, Jiang Ming finally managed to catch up to Yuan Chunhua's trail and when he checked his coordinates, they had already left the capital city.
"Yuan Chunhua, are you being a bit too much for leaving so quickly?" Yang Wei hastened his movement speed and asked her.
Yuan Chunhua gave him a slight glance before smirking coldly, "It's not like I didn't leave a trail behind for you to track. If I really wanted to ditch you, then you wouldn't have been able to find me anyway."
"Tsk, do you want to make a bet next time then?"
"What kind of bet?"
"You and me having sex if I can find you when you want to run away from me." Jiang Ming grinned wickedly as he finally caught her into his trap.
Alas, Yuan Chunhua merely snorted coldly and ignored his flirtatious manner.
She had decided in her mind that if he were to speak nonsense, then she wouldn't even bother with him. However, if he were to be serious and start focusing on the task, then she would listen and communicate with him.
This was the solution she had come up with when she had run ahead without waiting for him.
'This Jianbg Ming clearly has so many hidden skills and secrets. Yet he always accomplished nothing because his mind is filled with women.' Yuan Chunhua thought.
Her thought wasn't unfound though when she had personally witnessed his detective skills to pinpoint the culprit and find a solution to it.
She was sure that the purple mist incident back then would have become disastrous if Jiang Ming didn't find the source and apprehended it in time.
"Jiang Ming, why does it feel like you are always treating this world as some game? You are never serious about something and always act in a carefree manner." Yuan Chunhua turned around and asked him.
She could no longer keep her curiosity up since she had seen the type of things he was capable of doing yet refused to use it for the greater good.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming was stunned by her sudden question.
'Am I really treating this world the same way I did for Cultivation Omega?' He wondered silently. It was a good question for him to ponder whether or not he was treating the world seriously.
Ever since he received the system and got a hidden trump card, Qi Shan, Jiang Ming would always think every problem could be solved easily. It was just a matter of whether he wanted to spend time dealing with it or not.
"Do I really look like that?" Jiang Ming asked her back instead.
Seeing his expression was serious, Yuan Chunhua was truly in disbelief. 'He was really treating the cultivation world as a mere game huh?'
Now she had finally understood his arrogance and confidence.
"Do you think I'm some sort of robot that would fall in love with you because of those flirtatious remarks, Jiang Ming? Do you think I'm some superficial woman that would love you simply because you are strong from some unknown means?" She asked him in a mocking tone.
She didn't even bother waiting for his reply as she increased her movement speed, clearly annoyed to even converse with him.
The mission they are going to involves millions of lives, but Jiang Ming still acted like he was going through some playground to have fun.
Throughout their journey to the Haze Forest, Jiang Ming was completely silent, almost like he was contemplating the question from Yuan Chunhua.
Sometime later, Yuan Chunhua halted her movement as she found a discreet spot on top of a tree. She quickly retrieved several spirit stones before scattering them all around the tree.
Afterward, she injected some of her spiritual qi at the spirit stones, creating an illusion around the tree. The entire process was smooth without any errors, almost like she had done this numerous times.
Of course, she was still giving the cold shoulder treatment to Jiang Ming as she calmly sat on top of a tree branch and closed her eyes, seemingly waiting for the guests to arrive.
Jiang Ming could only smile bitterly as he went to another tree branch to camp given the atmosphere was sheer cold to him. He was sure if he tried to approach Yuan Chunhua now, then she would have simply gone to another tree branch or possibly another tree.
It was clear that she was furious at him and it wasn't something that he could pacify by being forceful. In fact, being forceful now would definitely increase the tension further and cause their relationship to deteriorate.
'Sigh, what should I do?' Jiang Ming lamented silently. He was planning on using this as an opportunity to increase their relationship, and not the opposite.
Feeling desperate, Jiang Ming decided to see if the GLCS had any useful advice for him. As much as he hated to say it, he was no love expert despite making love with three beauties already. All those actions he did was a copy of the typical game plot and novel troupe he had read in the past.
Ding!
<Does Player Jiang Ming wish to check the current status of Yuan Chunhua?>
Seeing the system prompt appearing, Jiang Ming hurriedly answered yes in his mind.
The system made a buzzing sound for a moment before a full list of Yuan Chunhua details appeared.
<Name: Yuan Chunhua
Gender: Female (like it isn't obvious enough)
Occupation: An instructor in the academy though secretly, she's an agent for the royal family directly under Lin Jingyun.
Cultivation Base: 8th Stage of the Spiritual Lord Realm
Current Relationship with Jiang Ming: Extremely fuzzy and on the verge of collapse (GLCS 2.0 suggests Jiang Ming commit suicide for screwing up such an easy relationship)>
Upon seeing the last comment from GLCS 2.0, Jiang Ming started making some air punches, hoping to knock the crap out of it.
What does it mean by telling him to commit suicide for ruining a relationship?
What kind of system actually supports their host to kill themselves?
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming's sudden crazy action caused Yuan Chunhua to be dumbfounded.
'What is he doing now?' Yuan Chunhua's anger simply rose further as she thought he was fooling around again.
Didn't she just reprimand him for not taking things seriously?
It hadn't even been 30 minutes yet and he was already on the verge of fooling around despite the enemies might be arriving soon.
"Are you for real right now, Jiang Ming?" Yuan Chunhua finally could not endure his foolery as she shouted in anger.
"We are waiting here to ambush and sabotage the meeting. Yet here you are, throwing some punches in the empty air. Are you trying to anger me on purpose now because I've been ignoring you?"
Jiang Ming twitched his lips as he really felt wronged by her scolding.
Wasn't it all the system's fault for teasing me?
Alas, he couldn't even tell her about the system since only he could see the system prompt that was appearing. Not to mention, it would make things worse because she would definitely think he was joking around again.
Ding!
<Player Jiang Ming had truly opened the eyes for everyone to see how foolish one can be when it comes to dealing with women>
<Warning: Yuan Chunhua's impression of Player Jiang Ming had dropped drastically, and soon, she would no longer care about you regardless of Yang Liqin's kind request>
–
Jiang Ming's face instantly darkened as he didn't need the GLCS 2.0 to remind him that things were going downhill.
He took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
Once he finished controlling his emotions, he turned toward her and said with a solemn expression on his face, "Yuan Chunhua, I'll be serious from now on. Please don't be mad at me."
Yuan Chunhua merely snorted coldly, but she decided to give him one last chance.
'If he really still fools around then I don't care if Senior Yang Liqin despises me for not giving him a glance anymore.' She thought.
