"Are you Little Dragon Girl?!"

The players were dumbfounded and astonished, as if seeing a celestial being.

Little Dragon Girl was severely injured. She had just barely managed to play the zither to drive off the alien, almost exhausting her strength. Looking increasingly frail and ethereal, like a snow lotus covered with frost, truly breathtakingly beautiful, invoking pity in those who saw her.

When had the players ever seen such a beauty?!

Each of them felt dry-mouthed, restless with anticipation.

Especially after discovering that Little Dragon Girl seemed paralyzed by her injuries, they exchanged glances, each whispering to the others:

"I used to despise Dragon Knight Yin Zhiping, but now, seeing Little Dragon Girl’s appearance, I understand him. What normal man, after seeing such an exquisite beauty, can remain calm? He’d have to be Liuxia Hui, a saint!"

"What should we do? Should we..."

...

Among the seven or eight players, all male, quite a few developed evil thoughts at that moment.

Of course, there were also some who didn’t want to go along with it, thinking it was extremely inappropriate.

They were scorned by some players:

"This is the game world, what are you afraid of?! There’s no legal responsibility here!"

...

Despite her serious injuries, Little Dragon Girl’s foundation remained strong.

Her hearing and vision were excellent.

The players, though speaking softly, were heard clearly and understood perfectly by her.

Though she could not comprehend much of what the players were saying.

She could understand their expressions, and she was filled with shame, anger, and anxiety. Taking a deep breath, she began to play the Yaoqin again.

With the pleasant tinkling of the zither, Jade Bees buzzed in like lightning.

Under Little Dragon Girl’s direction.

They swarmed toward the seven or eight players.

This time, Little Dragon Girl did not hold back.

She was extremely agitated, enraged to the utmost.

Several players were stung until they were barely alive.

One player, weaker in constitution, died on the spot.

Little Dragon Girl was startled, it was her first time killing someone, leaving her heart and spirit in disarray, uncertain about how to proceed.

But quickly.

The dead alien unexpectedly revived on the spot, lively and vigorous, without a hint of injury.

Little Dragon Girl was shocked, about to say something.

That player laughed heartily three times and lunged toward her.

Little Dragon Girl had exhausted her energy earlier and was now unable to resist, rolling forcefully to the side as the player missed his pounce.

Curled up in the corner, a sense of helplessness washed over her, thinking if she lost her purity here, death would be preferable.

Just as she was thinking this.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly the sound of something whizzing through the air was heard.

They were stones.

Each stone like a bolt of lightning, or a flying sword, rushed with a swish and hit one player squarely on the head, causing it to shatter on the spot.

The other players met the same fate, dying quickly.

Some players revived quickly.

But the result was the same.

Killed a few times over.

And no more players appeared.

Ding Ling’s figure appeared at the entrance of the stone chamber, it was he who acted just now.

Seeing Ding Ling, the heart that had risen to Little Dragon Girl’s throat suddenly relaxed.

She didn’t know why, at that moment she wanted to cry.

Growing up, it was the first time she was seriously injured, the first time she was held by someone, the first time she killed, the first time she was almost harmed...

So many firsts, overwhelming her in less than a day.

How could someone as innocent as her endure it?

Seeing Ding Ling, as she relaxed her heart and spirit, the nerves tensed by anxiety also eased, causing her body to sway and fall forward uncontrollably once again.

With bird-catching skill operating at all times, Ding Ling moved like the wind, arriving in front of Little Dragon Girl and caught her in his arms.

Having been held by Ding Ling once.

Being held by him again.

Little Dragon Girl, though a bit shy, didn’t resist like the first time.

"Do you still resist my setting your bones again this time?"

Ding Ling asked.

"I, I..."

Little Dragon Girl initially wanted to shake her head to refuse, but thinking of those players who revived, reflecting on what she just experienced, she was horrified. The head she intended to shake couldn’t move, only remaining silent, but her ears turned a bright red as if dyed.

Seeing this, Ding Ling didn’t say more, just thinking:

"This is too cliché, too common. Why did the hero rescuing the beauty scenario have to befall me."

He genuinely hadn’t expected to save Little Dragon Girl so timely and fittingly.

Gazing at the Yaoqin, the ground littered with Jade Bee corpses, he pondered for a bit.

Without overthinking it.

And he directly led Little Dragon Girl to the stone chamber where the Cold Jade Bed was.

This stone chamber could no longer be stayed in. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Who knew whether those players would log in again.

Though speaking of it.

If a player falls to level 0, it seems terrible consequences like stupidity, and impairment will occur.

Having logged out earlier, he used hacker technology to investigate ’Duanmu Qing’.

Duanmu Qing died way too many times.

Being severely injured and killed by Ding Ling in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World, he sustained severe aftermath, becoming an idiot devoid of any memory or intellect, wandering aimlessly, not even knowing he was hungry.

The incident sparked an uproar in society.

After careful investigation and analysis, many players discovered his case wasn’t an isolate!

Upon summary.

They inevitably realized the devastating consequences of falling to level 0.

Thus.

No player would endure the dreadful consequence of being killed to level 0 unless absolutely necessary.

Ding Ling also knew this point.

With palpitations.

Convinced he mustn’t die!

The severe repercussions of dying a lot, if it would turn you into an idiot, you’d rather die instantly!

The severe consequences of dying repetitively.

Even dying once likely has aftereffects, though not apparent usually, undetectable.

Tap tap!

Carrying Little Dragon Girl, Ding Ling arrived at the secret chamber where the Cold Jade Bed was located.

He placed her on the bed directly.

Sure enough.

Little Dragon Girl shivered from the cold.

Embarrassed, ashamed, she dared not gaze directly at Ding Ling.

Ding Ling operated the Pure Yang True Skill, placing his hand on Little Dragon Girl’s back, guiding a stream of Pure Yang Inner Power into her meridians, dispelling the cold entering her organs.

She immediately felt warm and comfortable.

Seizing the moment, Ding Ling said:

"Lie still. I’m going to set your bones."

"..."

Little Dragon Girl’s body stiffened, her cool eyes veiled by mist, yet she didn’t resist...

...

After about a quarter of an hour.

Ding Ling finished setting the bones.

Little Dragon Girl’s gaze towards Ding Ling changed, a cloudy emotion brewed unfathomably in her eyes.

She wasn’t sure what it was caused by.

But she knew.

Her purity had been given to Ding Ling, it was likely she would follow Ding Ling for life. Thinking of this, she gazed directly at Ding Ling and asked:

"Ding, Ding Ling, do you like me?"

"..."

Ding Ling was stunned.

"Don’t you like me?!"

Little Dragon Girl’s body trembled, her complexion darkening, her chilly eyes slightly reddened. She turned her back, unwilling to see Ding Ling anymore.

Ding Ling felt overwhelmed, not overthinking, he answered truthfully:

"You’re so gentle, kind, and beautiful. Any normal man would like you, I’m no exception."

"Really?"

Little Dragon Girl was overjoyed, she turned around suddenly, gazing intently at Ding Ling, her ethereal and cool voice still persisted, but now it had an earthly vitality:

"Would you be willing to marry me as your wife?"
