This Is My Planet - Chapter 148 - Chapter 148 – Beauty Leads A Country Astray
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense that there would be blood.
Because the game is a complete simulation of the body, as long as your real body is experiencing it for the first time, then online, it’s naturally the first time as well. In fact, it seems like every time you log in, it’s the first time…
Once she figured it out, the overly realistic reaction immediately diluted the feeling of “it’s just a game.” Both of them felt… as if it were real.
Xia Guixuan stopped and whispered, “Sorry…”
He thought it was just a game, so he casually initiated phase rush, but he was so rough that she was still wide-eyed, unable to recover…
It was too miserable, with her petite frame.
Xiao Jiu sniffled, “It doesn’t seem to be your fault… I was the one who kept emphasizing that it’s just a game. I didn’t know… Oh, wait a moment.”
Her trembling hand raised slightly, pressing into the void beside her.
A holographic screen appeared, displaying various medicines. Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth and materialized a bottle, drinking it directly.
Xia Guixuan, with his sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of the label: “Minor Injury Rapid Healing and Hydration Potion.”
Xia Guixuan: “???”
What kind of potion is this? Could it be one of little fox’s nonsensical concoctions?
Xiao Jiu didn’t think too much about it. After a brief moment, the pain disappeared, and her eyes grew increasingly seductive, almost dripping with desire. “It’s quite nice… every time is the first time, what do you think?”
Xia Guixuan blinked.
The default “one night of indulgence” seems…
Of course, better.
…………
The sun had risen high.
Xiao Jiu woke up drowsily, finding herself lying in the man’s arms, as if she hadn’t moved all night.
Last night must have been too exhausting… She really didn’t know how he could be so outrageous, looking so elegant on the outside, but completely a beast wearing human skin.
This was even the first time she had slept in a game in her entire life.
But she had slept so soundly that all the fatigue of recent days had been completely swept away. She even felt a faint sense of greater clarity…
Was it an illusion?
Looking up, she saw Xia Guixuan with his eyes open, staring at her with an intense gaze.
Feeling a bit shy, Xiao Jiu lowered her eyelids.
She kept saying it was just a game, but regardless of her physical and emotional experience, this was a true first time.
Being intimate with a man, sleeping together, waking up together… If others knew this was the deputy marshal, it would be social suicide… even she herself couldn’t handle it.
The so-called game was just a way to deceive herself, a step down from reality to do things that she probably wouldn’t do because of various real-world considerations. She was like this, and Xia Guixuan was probably the same.
In reality, Xia Guixuan might think that their feelings weren’t strong enough, or he might consider Yin Xiaoru, or worry about the consequences with the Gongsun family, and so on. He wouldn’t have been so casual.
But since it was a game, they both took the step down and became so casual about it.
But in fact, because the entire experience was too real, how different was it from reality?
(PS: Many brothers don’t understand why the first time had to happen in the game, so here’s a repeated psychological explanation. Don’t get annoyed. Old Xia didn’t do it before because he kept finding excuses for himself. The truth is, his millennia of repression made it impossible for him to change his mindset immediately, so even the smallest reason became an excuse not to act. The thought of “it’s just a game” became a step down from reality, breaking through his millennia-old psychological barrier in this way. The initial design of the game was for this day.)
“Dual cultivation is indeed possible,” Xia Guixuan suddenly spoke as if he understood what she was thinking.
Xiao Jiu: “…”
“This game… although the body is a data simulation, the spiritual connection is very real, so I’m not just a mere Level 3 warrior here…” Xia Guixuan said, rubbing her head. “You and I just engaged in dual cultivation, so after logging off, you might have some insights, maybe even a breakthrough.”
Xiao Jiu felt a bit ashamed. It wasn’t just spiritual dual cultivation… The physical reactions in the game definitely fed back into reality. It felt like the game pod was all wet, as if she had been lying in water all night. But thinking about it, Xia Guixuan’s game pod probably wasn’t so clean either…
Xia Guixuan seemed to understand what she was thinking and said with a straight face, “It’s quite wasteful, actually. My stuff is quite valuable.”
Xiao Jiu scoffed and buried her face in his chest, muttering, “In romance novels, that’s something men use to coax women. I’ve read countless books, don’t think you can coax me.”
“Others are fake, but what I said is real…”
“Spare me, spare me…”
“Ha…” Xia Guixuan didn’t press further. He nibbled on her ear and whispered, “Isn’t this just like… an author writing a story where the protagonist walks out of the book and gets together with the author?”
“If I were to insert myself into the role of A’Xue in the book…” Xiao Jiu whispered softly, “Then yes, you, Tai Kang, would even pull up your pants and deny knowing me.”
Xia Guixuan: “…Aren’t you the one who refuses to acknowledge me afterward, saying you wouldn’t meet me in reality?”
“Hmph…” Xiao Jiu grumbled, “Are you planning to reenact everything Tai Kang did in the book, like stealing other men’s women?”
“Aren’t you still thinking about playing matchmaker between your brother and Yan Wuyue?”
Xiao Jiu sniffled, “There’s no way you could sleep with me and then tell me you want other women…”
“Don’t think of yourself as some bargaining chip; that’s falling into Gongsun Jiu’s trap.”
Xiao Jiu: “…”
Damn.
How did I end up getting myself so twisted around?
Wait, he’s already done it, and now he’s saying this?
Oh, right, this is just a game.
Xiao Jiu held her head in her hands, at a loss for words. Suddenly, Xia Guixuan said, “Actually… I’m a bit different from you all… I don’t have a one-on-one mindset. I don’t know if that seems particularly awful to you. Honestly, when I read your novels, I just want to critique them. They write about Tai Kang, but they always want to depict him as monogamous. Is that something Tai Kang would do?”
Xiao Jiu’s eyes widened, “Hey, those are modern romance novels written for female readers! Never mind a king like Tai Kang, whose harem history is unrecorded; even documented kings are portrayed as having a harem of three thousand but favoring just the female lead… Wait, why am I even talking to you about this? Don’t get too immersed in the Tai Kang role.”
A thousand words, but Xia Guixuan only replied with one sentence: “I’m not a modern person.”
Xiao Jiu: “…”
Xia Guixuan sighed, “Am I being particularly scummy by saying these things now?”
Xiao Jiu responded helplessly, “It’s nothing. I brought this on myself. I said I wouldn’t see you in reality, so do as you please.”
Xia Guixuan looked down at her.
Indeed, his previous assessment of their closeness wasn’t wrong… Even after doing something like this with her, there was still a considerable distance between them. It was only in the game that they let loose; when it came to reality, it was as if they were worlds apart. Who knows what kind of life plans she has in reality that make things so awkward?
But precisely because of this, she was quite free-spirited…
When a woman is so nonchalant, why would a man get caught up in it? Xia Guixuan couldn’t help but feel that all the women around him since his last seclusion seemed to be digging their own graves, in such spectacular ways.
Suddenly, Xiao Jiu brightened up, “Hey, if we treat this game world as another dimension, am I the only one you have here?”
Xia Guixuan nodded, “Of course.”
No one else even plays; Little fox gave up on this game ages ago. Now that she’s a vice president of the game company, she has even less interest…
“See? This is the world I belong to.” Xiao Jiu thought for a moment, then smiled, “So, do you want another round? I’m ready again.”
Xia Guixuan was surprised, “You’re not busy today?”
Of course, she had plenty to do, and it was complicated, but Xiao Jiu really didn’t want to log off right now. What’s that saying… the emperor neglects morning court?
She laughed at herself, “It’s nothing. I’m not the leader… My brother and the Ling family handle the really complex affairs. Our control over the military has always been strong… The inauguration and military parade are tomorrow. Today’s just about the preliminary preparations. No one will say anything if I slack off a bit.”
Xia Guixuan said, “I feel like… you’re a bit tired and avoiding things.”
“No, no,” Xiao Jiu laughed, “I’m just addicted to your charm, that’s all. So, do you want to or not…”
As she spoke, her tongue traced circles on his chest, her eyes looking up at him from behind her glasses. Though not intentionally seductive, her natural charm was alluring.
Xia Guixuan felt a slight stir in his heart and chuckled, “Being an incompetent ruler who neglects court is something I’m good at. Whether or not you get in trouble doesn’t concern me.”
Xiao Jiu hmphed, “Forget about a little trouble. As a gaming enthusiast, even in dire straits, shouldn’t we play a round first?”
Xia Guixuan pulled her up and pinned her down, “Then let’s play a round first.”
Just as they were about to begin, Xiao Jiu suddenly thought of something and stopped, “Wait a moment…”
With those words, she suddenly logged off in a flash of white light.
In less than a second, she logged back in, her arms wrapped around his neck, and she cooed, “It’s the first time again…”
Outside the former Deputy Marshal’s office, a group of generals crowded around, while a secretary girl struggled to hold them back, “Hey, hey, don’t crowd here… The Deputy Marshal, uh, Marshal, is just resting.”
“The sun is already high in the sky, and he’s still resting? What time is this? The enemy just surrendered; there’s so much to be done, sorting things out and having discussions…”
“Oh my, I’m still writing the speech…”
“Damn, I’m not talking about giving a speech at a meeting, but having individual discussions with those generals. You don’t understand this, and does the Marshal himself not understand?”
“Could it be that there’s a woman hidden inside?”
With these words, silence fell. Everyone looked at each other, not saying a word. If there was a woman inside, it wouldn’t be Yan Wuyue. Yan Wuyue was injured and at home, she wouldn’t come here, and no one saw her enter the military department today. So, does that mean the Marshal is hiding another woman?
This shouldn’t be said out loud, or there’ll be trouble. If Yan Wuyue starts waving her flame sword, no one will know whom to help.
The secretary girl put her hands on her hips, “So, regardless of whether it’s a man or a woman inside, it’s none of your business. The Marshal knows what he’s doing.”
“He’s just taken office… the allure of beauty ruins a country.” The generals sighed, “Even someone like Marshal Gongsun, a dragon among men, can’t avoid it.”
