Chapter 257
"Your vigilance isn't bad," Leon praised, his face pressed right up against hers.
Only when these words came out did Feixiao belatedly realize that she had been maintaining a battle-ready posture against him the entire time.
This was undoubtedly an offense to him.
"...Could this be some sort of prank?" Feixiao couldn't help but ask.
"Yes and no."
It definitely couldn't be counted as a prank, because Leon was completely sincere.
His track record was verifiable!
"'Yes and no', what kind of answer is that?" Feixiao complained.
"Phew, anyway, it scared me to death. An invitation suddenly popped out of nowhere, completely without giving any option to refuse. I thought it was the Joyous Lord's doing."
'Aha's' reputation was just like that.
"But seeing you, I guess I don't need to worry anymore."
Feixiao grinned and gave him a thumbs up.
"After all, with you here, if there really were any problems, they would all be solved by you, right?"
The stats brought by his 'wheelchair' left people dumbfounded.
"Sit." Leon smiled without saying a word, walked past her, and took a seat first.
"What's wrong?" Feixiao closely followed.
She took a seat opposite Leon, "Speaking of which, what exactly is going on with this place?"
"Is this your doing, Leon?"
There was confusion in Feixiao's words.
"It really is."
"In other words, you came specifically to find me in private?"
Feixiao's ears twitched, her entire person becoming somewhat excited.
She looked as if she couldn't wait to get his answer.
It could only be said that she had been suppressing her feelings a bit too much.
"Yes." Leon nodded.
Feixiao's eyes lit up.
"What is it, what is it? What did you come looking for me for?"
She subconsciously slammed the table and stood up, leaning her body forward until her face was only a hair's breadth away from his.
"Whatever it is, just say it, Leon! As long as it's something I can do... No, as long as you say it, no matter what it is, I will work hard to achieve it!"
Feixiao was a person without a tail, but for some unknown reason, when she said these words, Leon could always feel a tail wagging behind her like a loyal dog.
"It's not really any big deal."
Leon pressed his hand downward, gesturing for her to sit down.
"Mhm, mhm, tell me!"
Feixiao obediently took her seat, like an obedient little puppy.
"Feixiao." He called out softly, meeting her gaze. "Are you willing to accompany me to the end, never leaving or forsaking each other?"
Feixiao froze, her pupils suddenly widening in an instant.
She opened her mouth slightly, the expression on her face dumbfounded, as if she couldn't quite believe the words her ears had just heard.
"W-what did you say?" Her breathing became a bit hurried.
Leon was puzzled.
Why was everyone's reaction surprisingly identical, practically wishing he would confess twice?
"I said, are you willing to stay together with me for the rest of our lives?"
But whether it was for the quest objective or Leon's own true feelings.
He didn't mind saying it a few more times.
As long as Feixiao wanted to hear it, he could say it no matter how many times.
"What did you say, what did you say?!"
Feixiao once again slammed the table and stood up, immediately grabbing his hand. Her gaze refused to leave him for even a moment, and her eyes were filled with the excitement of 'I didn't hear it wrong'!
"I said, I like you, Feixiao."
Leon thought about it and decided it was better to switch to something more straightforward.
Hearing the words 'I like you', Feixiao immediately tilted her head back. She took a deep breath, attempting to control her restless heart and stabilize her emotions.
"You like me?"
She lowered her head, letting her gaze fall back onto Leon, and asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes, I like you." Leon nodded, meeting her gaze.
This isn't a dream, is it? This isn't a dream, is it?
Feixiao stood completely frozen in place.
She subconsciously released his hand, and as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, unconsciously sat back down.
Truly, at this very moment, Feixiao really wanted to let out a loud shout.
Hearing the words 'I like you' once again, her emotions, which had surged to their peak, could hardly be suppressed anymore!
After recovering her senses, Feixiao placed her left arm horizontally across the table and buried her face in the crook of her arm, while her right hand formed a fist and frantically pounded the table, seemingly venting her uncontainable emotions!
Holy crap, such a huge reaction.
Leon looked at Feixiao's appearance of trying to hold back her laughter, making it clear just how incredibly happy her mood was right now.
"Leon, I am willing! I am willing to do whatever you say!"
A moment later, she lifted her head again and reached out, tightly wrapping her hands around his right hand!
"Let's get married! Right here, right now!"
She said with utmost seriousness.
[Quest Progress: 4/24]
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry just yet."
Leon told her not to rush, because he was in an even bigger rush.
Because he still had a full twenty people waiting for him to confess to them.
"We'll discuss the marriage thing later."
Saying this, Leon stood up. "Let me finish my busy work first."
He turned around and left towards the exit.
Busy with what?
Feixiao, who hadn't reacted in time, directly vanished out of thin air before she could even utter those three words.
By the time she recovered her senses,
She had already arrived in another space, a rather spacious room.
Here, she also saw three acquaintances.
"General Yao, the Master Diviner of the Luofu?"
Feixiao was a bit dazed. Looking at the three people before her, she spoke with some uncertainty.
"And Sister Yukong?"
What is the meaning of this? Why are there three other women in this place?
"Feixiao?"
Seeing the fourth arrival, Yukong was also quite surprised.
"No, why are you guys here?"
Could they have also been called in by Leon?
Wouldn't that mean every single one of them could have been approached by him in private?
"As to why we are here, I think you should already have an idea in your heart. However you got here, that's naturally how we got here too."
Yao Guang said with a chuckle.
"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking right now."
"So, meaning I'm the fourth one?"
Feixiao scratched her head and let out an imperceptible sigh.
So it wasn't just her...
To think Feixiao originally thought she was the only one today.
Although somewhat disappointed, to her, Leon's words 'I like you' truly surpassed everything else. Having a few more people in front of her didn't really matter anyway.
"It's fine, Merlin's Claw General."
Yao Guang told her to look on the bright side.
"Being the fourth one really isn't anything much; at the very least, neither you nor I are the last one."
"Meaning there are still more?"
Feixiao naturally knew Leon was very popular, but she hadn't expected there to be so many people present today.
"If there were no more, we should have been sent directly back by now. Even at worst, logically speaking, something should have been triggered."
Yao Guang voiced her deduction.
"But we're still sitting here perfectly fine, and nothing has happened at all. It's easy to see that I don't think this prank has ended with your conclusion."
Yao Guang continued speaking.
Feixiao was initially stunned, then nodded slightly, seemingly feeling that there was indeed nothing wrong with her reasoning.
"Therefore, why don't we try and guess just how many girls will ultimately arrive here."
She looked quite interested in this.
"How many?" Feixiao felt intuitively that there would be at least more than two more.
Leon was completely unaware that the four women had already colluded in private.
He merely headed to the fifth room, continuing to seriously execute his task.
This time, Leon didn't push the door open directly.
Instead, he changed his approach, gently knocking on the room's door with the back of his hand.
One knock after another.
In this way, he gave the person inside an advance warning, informing them of his arrival beforehand.
"Come in."
A gentle voice came from within the room.
Only after receiving an affirmative reply did Leon push the door open and walk into the room.
"Mr. Ranger, long time no see."
It was Robin.
"I truly didn't expect to see you here." Her words were filled with surprise regarding this.
Leon hummed an acknowledgment and took a seat in front of her.
"May I ask if this space is your doing?"
Robin blinked her eyes, asking boldly.
"Yes." Leon nodded, generously admitting it.
"Is that so." Hearing this, she instead breathed a sigh of relief.
"When I received this invitation, I thought I had been entangled by some unclear, dubious entity."
Robin's words carried a smile, "Since it's Mr. Ranger's doing, then I am relieved."
"You're relieved just because it's my doing?"
"Because Mr. Ranger would absolutely never harm me."
Robin's tone was certain, "Is that not the case?"
"Hard to say." It was clear that Leon indeed wouldn't harm her, though.
"Hard to say?"
Robin knew this was a joke, and intentionally replied instead:
"Then is Mr. Ranger planning to harm me this time?"
Leon shook his head.
She was a precious quest objective; he couldn't harm her no matter who else he harmed.
"Then that's fine."
Robin hummed a few times, putting on a 'see, I told you so' expression.
A hint of petty pride emerged from nowhere.
"So, what exactly did Mr. Ranger come looking for me for this time?"
Robin was truly puzzled by this question.
She knew Leon would absolutely never harm her, but if he wanted to see her, he could just see her on Penacony. What was the purpose of going through all this immense effort specifically to create an invitation?
She felt that Leon doing so must carry his own profound meaning.
"You might not believe it, but I'm here to confess my love."
Leon faced her puzzled expression head-on, and so he straightforwardly spoke the truth.
Robin was dumbfounded, the look in her eyes as she looked at him changing.
It shifted from the original confusion to 'Is this real?'
The answer Leon gave was something Robin had absolutely never expected.
She had thought of many possibilities, but a confession was truly not among those hypotheses of hers.
A confession, huh...
Robin felt somewhat dazed by these two words.
If this was true, if Leon really came to confess to her, then going through such immense effort would solve the mystery; after all, a confession always required putting in some thought and being serious about it.
For him, getting a little serious and directly orchestrating this kind of surprise was not surprising at all.
"Little bird, do you like me?" he asked.
Robin didn't speak, nor did she make any movements.
She looked as if she hadn't yet recovered her senses, sitting in the chair like a statue.
'Do you like me?'
Him asking this question meant...
"...Has Mr. Ranger never watched the interview program about the filming process of 'The Rise of the Black Flame Knight'?"
Robin pursed her lips and asked this question.
Did she like him?
The answer was affirmative; she had long since expressed her feelings in front of the billions of people in the galaxy.
How could she possibly not like him?
"I didn't watch it, why?" Leon told the truth.
If he didn't watch it, he didn't watch it; there was nothing to hide about this.
"Is that so..."
Hearing this, Robin not only wasn't angry in the slightest, but instead suddenly smiled.
"It's fine, then I can say it again." Her tone was serious.
"I have a Galaxy Ranger whom I like very much, the kind of liking that involves romantic feelings between a man and a woman."
In response to Leon's confession, she directly countered.
"Holy crap, you should have said so earlier."
So Robin had already laid her cards on the table previously?
Sigh, it was all those foolish netizens who had harmed him!
"Mr. Ranger, do you know?"
Robin's voice was very soft.
"My mother used to tell me that the reason the Halovian can perceive everyone's emotions is because everyone needs someone who can reach out a helping hand to them."
"When I was young, I didn't understand yet, so I asked my mother what she meant."
Robin stared fixedly at him.
"She said, even if the era is sorrowful, you cannot let the era's sorrow become your sorrow. As long as there is still one person who retains gentleness toward the world's pain."
"Then this world still holds the possibility of healing."
Leon understood; born to love people.
Can't flame her for this; this is a genuine innate ability to love people.
Robin indeed had always been very gentle, her way of treating people and handling affairs leaning heavily towards the mild and soft side.
Only when necessary would she reveal her sharp edge.
"I asked my mother, if one is gentle to everyone, doesn't that equate to not being gentle to anyone?"
Robin looked at him, her eyes filled with affection.
"My mother said, that's not it. I would understand when I later encountered the person who is important to me."
Leon looked at her, quietly waiting for her to continue.
"I think, I should know what she wanted to say to me back then now—please continuously accumulate your gentleness, and finally deliver it in full to the one who is worthy."
Robin had found her important person, and also understood those words she hadn't comprehended when she was young.
"Mr. Ranger, I like you."
Her voice wasn't loud, but in this silent room, it appeared exceptionally clear.
What is liking someone?
Liking someone is when that person isn't there, day and night are exactly twenty-four system hours without a single discrepancy; but if that person is there, you will always feel that these twenty-four system hours are sometimes a bit less, and sometimes a bit more.
"Little bird, I don't know how to say sweet nothings."
With Leon's personality, he indeed didn't know how to say sweet nothings; he preferred being straightforward. If he had to say sweet nothings, he could only say 'you are the character I set as specially cared for'.
If only he had known, he would have searched online for a compendium of sweet nothings before coming.
This wave, he was too greedy.
"But I can promise you, for your love, I will bring out an equivalent response."
Leon said seriously.
"Alright, I've received this promise! I deeply believe in Mr. Ranger, who always does what he says!"
Robin broke into a smile.
Actually, for two people who harbor feelings for each other, no matter what sweet nothings are said, they fall far short of being as direct and effective as the words 'I like you'.
Leon hummed in agreement.
"If you have any requests, you can absolutely bring them up to me."
"Requests?"
Robin pondered with an 'umm', and then thought of something.
"Then, come back to my hometown with me later to meet my parents, I want them to see you too."
"This is my duty."
Leon naturally couldn't possibly refuse.
Those were his father-in-law and mother-in-law, after all, although his fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law had suddenly become quite numerous in an instant.
[Quest Progress: 5/24]
"I still have some things to keep busy with, see you later."
Leon stood up from the chair, bidding farewell to Robin.
