Zhang Yue had originally thought that with how angry Chen Zijin had been, she probably wouldn't pay him any attention for at least a few days to cool down and settle her emotions.
Who would have thought, just one line about treating her to dinner, and Chen Zijin's anger vanished in an instant.
This made Zhang Yue, who had never coaxed a girl before, suddenly realize: turns out girls are this easy to cheer up.
"I get angry fast, but I calm down fast too!", Chen Zijin seemed to notice Zhang Yue's surprise at her mood swings, and said, "Anyway, the things you said weren't real, they were just to provoke me into raising my rage value, right?"
Zhang Yue looked at Chen Zijin and laughed, "Didn't expect your emotions to be this stable."
"Business is business!", Chen Zijin smiled, "You already said you're treating me to dinner. Why should I still bother arguing with you?"
"Besides, those things you said this afternoon were all taught to you by Liyue, not words you came up with yourself, right?"
Zhang Yue was a little surprised, "You knew?"
"Mm. Liyue already told me just now," Chen Zijin said, "She was worried I'd misunderstand you, so she ran over to explain it to me. But really, it wasn't necessary, I'm not that petty."
"But I have to say, women really do understand women best," Chen Zijin continued, "The things she taught you to say hit me right where it hurt. Every single line was endlessly destructive."
Zhang Yue didn't feel like saying much more.
At that moment, he only felt: all the loot that dropped from the God of Wrath was perfectly tailor-made for Chen Zijin.
Then Chen Zijin asked Zhang Yue, "So, what's our next mission? Are we farming the World Boss here, then advancing into the World 43?"
"There's still something unfinished here," Zhang Yue replied, "Tonight I need to go to the Death Territory and clear a dungeon."
"The first clear of the dungeon can advance one to God-King. I need that status, so I can infinitely extract gear from the armory to upgrade the Transcendent set."
Hearing this, Chen Zijin deliberately gave Zhang Yue a playful look, "But with your current strength, you can barely handle small maps in the national territories. Do you really think you can clear the Death Territory dungeon that no player has ever managed to beat?"
Zhang Yue glanced at her, "Isn't that why I have you?"
Chen Zijin chuckled, "That depends on how sincere you are when you treat me to dinner tonight. If your sincerity's enough, then anything's negotiable."
Zhang Yue: "What do you want to eat?"
Chen Zijin: "Hotpot!"
Zhang Yue: "Sure, no problem. In fact, let's go right now."
Chen Zijin: "I also want milk tea!"
Zhang Yue: "Consider it done."
So, the two of them logged off right away.
———
But although they had agreed to meet at the guild entrance, Zhang Yue waited twenty minutes and still no sign of Chen Zijin.
Unable to resist, he called her, ["Where are you?"]
["Wait a bit, I'm coming right away!"]
Hanging up the call, Zhang Yue happened to see Ouyang Linger, Ning Tiantian, Liyue, and the others coming out of the guild together.
Apparently, they too had arranged to eat together. After all, it was dinner time.
Seeing Zhang Yue standing alone at the entrance, Liyue knowingly teased, "Oh my, who's our great Guild Leader waiting for?"
The other guild girls joined in the banter.
"Obviously waiting for his girlfriend!"
"Huh, when did the Guild Leader start dating? Why didn't I hear about it?"
"Of course it's Sister Zijin! In this World, aside from the myth-level Shadow Dancer, who else could match the Guild Leader? And Sister Zijin is stunningly beautiful, together they're the perfect talented man and beautiful woman!"
Zhang Yue glanced at them, "Stop talking nonsense."
Just as he was speaking.
Suddenly, a graceful figure stepped out of the guild building.
It was Chen Zijin, dressed in a light blue tank top and a black short skirt.
Her hair was tied high in a bun, highlighting her fair, cold, and beautiful face, simply breathtaking.
In that moment, Wu Haotian, Knight Owl, and One-Night Stand, who were just leaving for dinner, all had their gazes instantly drawn to her.
Each one stared straight at Chen Zijin, their eyes unwilling to move away.
"Holy crap! I knew Chen Zijin had a good figure, but I never imagined it was this good!"
"Damn, those legs are longer than my life!"
"So white, so smooth, so…"
"Sister-in-law is gorgeous, totally my type. Even as a woman, I like her!"
"Dead rat, wipe your drool, it's dripping on me, disgusting!"
Chen Zijin lifted her chin, chest out, every step radiating confidence.
She walked straight up to Zhang Yue.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Clearly, she had just gone to dress up carefully.
One had to admit, with Chen Zijin's natural beauty, even light makeup made her stunning beyond words.
Zhang Yue had thought it was just a simple dinner.
Little did he know, to Chen Zijin, this was their first proper date.
Of course she had to dress her best.
When Chen Zijin arrived, the two of them went together to the hotpot restaurant they had reserved.
Sure enough, as expected, whether on the way or after they entered the restaurant, the passersby on the street, as well as the customers already eating hotpot inside, all couldn't help but turn to look at Chen Zijin and Zhang Yue.
Casting them admiring gazes.
"Those two must be the gods of our Dragon Nation, the Necromancer and the Shadow Dancer, right?"
"So online they were keeping it low-key after all. Turns out the Shadow Dancer is this beautiful even without makeup!"
"If I had a girlfriend like that, I'd laugh myself awake even in dreams…"
"Yeah right, keep dreaming. Look who's beside her, the strongest in Dragon Nation, the myth-level Necromancer! You're not even one in ten thousand compared to him. What do you have to compete with the Necromancer?"
After sitting down, Zhang Yue remembered he had promised to buy Chen Zijin milk tea. He suggested going out to get it.
"What kind of milk tea do you want?"
Chen Zijin thought for a moment, then said, "Taro Boba Milk Tea, but without taro, and without milk tea!"
Zhang Yue: "…What even is that?"
Chen Zijin: "Forget it, whatever, just any milk tea is fine…"
As soon as Zhang Yue left, a number of male customers nearby immediately came up to ask Chen Zijin for autographs and photos.
Chen Zijin politely signed autographs for each of them.
But when it came to photos, she graciously explained, "My boyfriend will be back in a moment. If he sees me taking photos with other guys, he won't be happy."
Those guys instantly got the message.
"Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean to bother you!"
Saying that, they quickly dispersed.
And this scene, just happened to be seen by Zhang Yue as he returned with the milk tea.
In that moment, on Chen Zijin's body, Zhang Yue faintly caught a glimpse of a unique kind of charm…
