I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Chapter 41: The End is a New Beginning

The assessnt was now over. Ye Yong felt that the assessnt was extrely boring, especially since he didnt have to participate in the very first assessnt of going up the mountain. In the novel, the male lead had been chased by villains, and reading about how he had avoided traps while fighting against the villains was quite interesting.

However, even if Ye Yong was allowed to participate in that assessnt, nothing interesting would happen to him and he would move on without any problems.

Sigh. Ye Yong sotis felt that being a villain with a comfortable lifestyle was way too boring and that maybe targeting the male lead was the only way out- as if! Ye Yong had Wu Xue to tease and flirt with, so why would he go and target the male lead? He would gladly sever their relationship and never have any contact with the male lead if he could. He was just about to call over Wu Xue to squeeze her face when Qin Shi ng ca over.

Although she was wearing a veil, Qin Shi ngs beautiful figure and bright eyes still emphasized her charm. The veil covering her face due to her shyness made her seem like a goddess to the rogue cultivators.

Qin Shi ng had long gotten accustod to being the center of attention, so naturally, she had learned to ignore all the gazes directed toward her. At this mont, she only had eyes for Ye Yong- out of curiosity, that is. You really hid it well.

Its just luck. Sorry for showing such a joke, Ye Yong smiled lightly, without showing any intention to show off.

Favorability 2.

Qin Shi ng felt that she was unable to see through Ye Yong anymore. She was continuously discovering his excellence while becoming increasingly curious about him. We are friends, right?

Qin Shi ng didnt have any friends because she was so beautiful. The maids and servants didnt count, and the young ladies of the other cultivation families didnt want to be associated with her at all. As for the young masters of the cultivation families, well, they always tried to beco her friend with impure motives, so she had always been alone.

While she really hated the past Ye Yong, the current Ye Yong made her feel very comfortable. He wouldnt look at her lustfully or domineeringly, and he didnt try to speak in a way to flatter her. Everything was natural.

A regret to not having t earlier; who said that departure is easy? Its not because there were no feelings, just that fate is hard to understand. Back when Ye Yong had been in line waiting for his turn, he had been looking through the system shop for a full collection of poetry and songs from Earth and had found it.

However, since it was culture from another world, the price was almost equivalent to a 10-year immortal herb- costing Ye Yong a total of 5,000 transcend points. But in order to show off and to more easily increase Qin Shi ngs favorability rating, he didnt hesitate at all to buy the collection. Besides, Qin Shi ng wasnt the only heroine who liked poetry and songs, so he wouldnt be making a loss either way.

Ye Yong continued to show off. Although you and I had a bad history, sotis, the end is a new beginning. You asked if we are friends, but in fact, when you asked that question, you and I both had the answer in our hearts.

A regret to not having t earlier; who said that departure is easy? You and I both have the answer in our hearts. Qin Shi ng repeated Ye Yongs words as if she was reminiscing about sothing. Is this also a poem by your friend?

Yes. There was no way Ye Yong would call himself a literati now. Besides, even though he had a collection of all the poems and songs on Earth, he still had to pay attention to the scenery. Otherwise, if he just spouted sothing like Spring sleep knows no dawn right now, Qin Shi ng would think that he was an idiot.

Besides, Ye Yong believed that as long as they kept talking to each other, Qin Shi ng would eventually realize that the friend that he was talking about was himself, and she might even think that he was modest and her favorability rating could increase even more.

See that? Qin Shi ngs favorability had increased by 3 again because he had said the right words at the right ti.

Previously, her favorability rating had increased by 1 or 2 points every ti she broke through, and it had now reached a total of 36 points, with her attitude towards Ye Yong being [Maybe Could Be Close Friends].

This was a huge improvent considering how her favorability rating towards Ye Yong was -87 when they first t. This was a point that the Ye Yong in the novel could never even hope to reach.

That friend of yours is very talented I hope I can et him so ti to record his poems and put them into a collection.

Ill help you ask him to write a collection later.

Didnt you say that he likes to travel and has never published a poetry collection?

Uh People can change, Ye Yong said, laughing.

Qin Shi ng narrowed her eyes, seemingly smiling. Since so, you should also stop calling Lady Qin and call

Shi ng? Ye Yong blurted.

Ye Yong had previously always called Qin Shi ng that, and Qin Shi ng only felt repulsed and disgusted back then. But currently, when these words ca out of Ye Yongs mouth, she didnt feel that way at all- in fact, she felt much more comfortable than when Ye Yong addressed her as Lady Qin, and this made her feel close to him.

Even though Qin Shi ng didnt say anything, Ye Yong could basically guess what she ant. However, he wanted to tease her a bit, so he said, Sorry for being so presumptuous. Ill call you Lady Shi ng.

No, Qin Shi ng whispered. Shi, Shi ng is fine.

If Ye Yong didnt have the favorability rating system, he would definitely have thought that Qin Shi ng liked him when she revealed such a shy side of her. According to psychological research on Earth, once a man thinks that a woman likes him, the man makes many confident but confusing actions and remarks. Even if the woman actually likes the man a little, such actions and remarks would make her hate him instead.

Ye Yong thought that the favorability rating should at least be 80 for Qin Shi ng to actually like him, just like Wu Xue did.

Shi ng, you want to ask when I have a 7-color foundation when I used to have a 5-color foundation, right? Ye Yong knew that Qin Shi ng was curious because becoming stronger was her wish.

No, I dont want to ruin our friendship over sothing like this.

Oh, but I was going to tell you anyways even if you didnt ask . This was a no-brainer. Qin Shi ng was the future Immortal Empress, and it was only because the story was just starting that her fortuitous opportunities had yet to co to her. When she does encounter them and her cultivation and strength rocket upwards, there would be nothing for Ye Yong to do. As such, it was best for him to take advantage of the fact that Qin Shi ng was still weak and make an effort to help her to make her feel indebted to him.

Is, is that really okay? Because she was now sure that Ye Yong also considered her to be a friend, Qin Shi ng wanted to maintain their friendship and didnt want to make Ye Yong feel that she was only approaching him to use him to make herself stronger.

Getting stronger was indeed important to her, but having a true, close friend was also important to her. Qin Shi ng hadnt tried to make a friend before- Ye Yong was her first ti- he was her first friend.

Why wouldnt it be okay? Ye Yong whispered, attracting the attention of the people around them. One person was an extrely handso guy, and the other person was a fairy. The two would be extrely conspicuous even by themselves, let alone being together.

The male cultivators eyes were wide open when they saw Ye Yongs mouth next to Qin Shi ngs ear. Dont get close to my goddess! Bastard!

So male cultivators also wanted to beco Ye Yongs mouth- they could die without any regrets if they could so much as touch Qin Shi ng.

The female cultivators, on the other hand, were furiously in their hearts. Dont seduce my god! Bitch!

As soone with a 7-colored foundation, an extre rank wind-type spiritual root, and a cultivation at the 10th layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm at the age of 18, Ye Yong was a perfect Dao Companion.

This was Qin Shi ngs first ti being so close to a man. She could feel Ye Yongs breath on her ear, causing them to rapidly turn red.

Favorability 2.

Ye Yong suddenly felt that Qin Shi ngs favorability rating wasnt that difficult to increase. Sure, it increased slower than Wu Xue, but in the end, no matter how cold she was, the current Qin Shi ng was still just a 17-year-old girl, so it was still pretty easy to create ripples in her heart.

Translators Notes:

. Translated literally, it ans cover half of the face with a pipa. The story goes that a woman needed a lot of persuasion to simply show her face, and even then, she would cover half of her face with her pipa. So it beca used to say that a woman is shy.

Im not sure what the author is describing as natural here. It could be referring to their relationship naturally becoming better or that Ye Yongs speech sounded natural and not fake in any way.

. From the poem (Regret not Having t Earlier) by (Wu Jing). These lines an: people might regret having not t each other earlier (they might have similar interests or just enjoy being with each other). Soone once said that people will always eventually drift apart, but its not because they were heartless, but rather because fate is hard to predict and no one knows when people will et or drift apart.

. From the poem (Spring Dawn) by (ng Hao Ran). Line aning: in spring, one sleeps all the way until dawn without even realizing it.

Soone save from this poetry hell.
