Logging 10,000 Years into the Future - Chapter 392

Chapter 392

“She still has the same bad temper as when he was a kid, unable to take a joke.” Dong Shengyi casually tossed the silver pendant back to Dong Qingxue and remarked with a sigh.

Dong Qingxue’s expression remained cold as she took the pendant and carefully put it on. “That joke was not funny at all.”

Dong Shengyi’s gaze lingered on the silver pendant around Dong Qingxue’s neck as he spoke nonchalantly, “Since you mentioned it, I will grant your wish and let him pass this time. But just this once. For this military exercise, the grand competition of the entire military region, before I defeat all the top fighters of the five major military regions, the man you fancy must withstand one move from me. Only then will I acknowledge him and not interfere in your relationship. Otherwise, no matter how much you value or like him, it won’t work. Do you understand?”

Dong Shengyi’s tone was calm, yet it carried an unmistakable firmness.

Dong Qingxue remained silent.

Dong Shengyi didn’t mind and continued, “Moreover, passing my test is the easy part. Dong Potian is not as simple to deal with. Do you remember when you were nine years old, a boy from the Bai family tried to pursue you and Dong Potian nearly beat him to death in someone else’s courtyard?”

Dong Qingxue’s eyes flickered.

Dong Shengyi gently patted her shoulder and said softly, “Think it over carefully. Not every brother is as understanding and gentle as I am …”

Lin Wanwan, who had been listening to their conversation, finally understood the situation. Sister Qingxue likes someone, but for this person to be with her, he must first pass the tests set by her two brothers. It’s not easy at all.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but feel sympathy and, holding Dong Qingxue’s hand, whispered, “Don’t worry, Sister Qingxue, I’ll make sure Brother Dong goes easy on him …”

Dong Shengyi laughed, “Lin Wanwan, if you ever fall in love, your boyfriend will have it even harder. Your father is a Martial Sage, and you have a bunch of martial arts masters as brothers …”

Lin Wanwan wrinkled her nose and replied irritably, “My dad listens to me, and my brothers listen to my dad. What’s there to worry about?”

Dong Shengyi was momentarily stunned, then nodded, “When you put it that way …”

After a few casual remarks, Dong Shengyi noticed someone approaching and called out, “Let’s go, let’s switch to another war zone. We’ll take down all the top fighters in the Eastern Military Region’s Star List in three days, and then we’ll head into the underground cave.”

…

“I never noticed before …”

Lu Sheng exited the dream space, his expression somewhat peculiar.

He had just reviewed Dong Qingxue’s profile and the profiles of those closely associated with her. To his surprise, he found that both of Dong Qingxue’s brothers had high ratings in the repository. One had five stars, and the other six. Dong Shengyi was formidable, but Dong Potian was actually a Level 9 Martial Sage!

Though it would take him over a hundred years to reach the Martial Sage level.

Being stuck at the Grandmaster stage for over a hundred years wasn’t unusual. Breaking through to Level 9 was a sign of extraordinary talent.

But even knowing this, Lu Sheng felt no waves in his heart.

Just a Martial Sage. In the ten thousand years of martial arts history, countless Martial Sages have emerged. The three existing Martial Sages in Dragon Kingdom didn’t even rank in the top during the three thousand years of martial arts history, let alone a mere Dong Potian.

“It’s just that …” Lu Sheng picked up his phone and started recalling various things about Dong Qingxue.

Saying he didn’t like Dong Qingxue would be a lie. Young love. After Lu Sheng rose in the martial arts world, as the first top-tier beauty to enter his life, Dong Qingxue naturally occupied a special place in his heart.

This feeling was like smoke, like mist.

It’s like on a sunny afternoon, staring at a sparrow on a tree branch outside the window, you suddenly get called out by the teacher to answer a question. The woman on the podium, wearing a long dress, beautiful like a summer flower, looks at you with a mix of anger and amusement, urging you to pay attention in class. A momentary heartbeat.

Some say that over ninety percent of men have secretly loved a teacher in their youth. Whether male or female. Hormones and a sense of admiration plant a seed in the young heart. Of course, most of these seeds wither before they sprout.

This subtle emotion, eroded by time, dissipates like smoke when grasped.

Lu Sheng’s feelings for Dong Qingxue were similar. Until the moment he saw her name in his spouse column … something subtly changed. The seed in his heart quietly sprouted, and even Lu Sheng himself didn’t notice. When he finally paid attention, the sapling had already grown, and was thriving …

“Is it destiny …”

Lu Sheng’s expression was somewhat bewildered as he muttered to himself.

He thought for a while, picked up his phone, and decided to conduct an experiment.

Scrolling through his contact list, his finger paused on the avatars of Zheng Dandan and Yang Yuan, before moving on.

If they weren’t in the spouse column, he wouldn’t disturb them.

Finally, he stopped at the avatar of He Ling Su.

He opened the chat and, after some thought, sent a message: “Are you there?”

He Ling Su replied quickly, “I was just about to report to you. Recently, Ling-Sheng Pharmaceuticals …”

He Ling Su sent a long string of text and data, making Lu Sheng frown.

“Could I really marry someone like this? Would she still report work to me even when we’re making babies?”

Gritting his teeth, Lu Sheng sent: “The weather is getting colder, take care and don’t work too hard, your health is more important.”

Then he opened the chat with his mom, Zheng Yufen, and randomly forwarded a public account article.

He Ling Su was silent for a long time before sending two messages.

“???”

“Who are you? Are you playing with Lu Sheng’s phone? If you find someone else’s phone, you should return it, understand? (Warning)”

Lu Sheng: “…”

But this made him feel more at ease. It seemed like He Ling Su was fine, and he should just maintain their current relationship.

Deciding this, he exited the chat and didn’t bother anymore.

On the other end, sitting at her desk surrounded by files, contracts, and reports, He Ling Su stared blankly at her phone. She stared at Lu Sheng’s avatar for a long time until the desk phone rang, waking her up. She gently set the phone aside, regained her composed and efficient demeanor, and answered, “Hello …”

…

“Now I’ll just have to wait for Dong Shengyi to come …”

Having made up his mind, Lu Sheng stopped worrying. He thought, “At worst, I’ll go easy on him and use more moves to defeat him. After all, we’ll see each other often. A little face-saving is necessary.”

Lu Sheng thought this, but events unfolded beyond his expectations.

Three days later.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lu Sheng gently put down the Eastern Military Region Daily, his face calm.

In these three days, the news of Dong Shengyi’s arrival at the Eastern Military Region had spread.

His record of defeating all the top fighters on the Eastern Military Region’s Star List within three days also shocked the entire military region.

Except for a few top fighters who were out on missions, Dong Shengyi had challenged almost everyone else.

Except for the first of the Eastern Seven Luminaries, Sun Huanyu, everyone else was defeated in one move by Dong Shengyi.
