Chapter 101: Everyone Falls in Love (3)

The rules of Love Planet clearly stated:

If one side chose “love” and the other chose “mutual destruction,” then the one who chose “love” would suffer Love Planet’s disasters for twenty-four hours.

He Yu had “forced” Wanrenzhan into choosing “love,” while he himself had chosen “mutual destruction.”

That meant Wanrenzhan had to endure twenty-four hours of Love Planet’s calamities.

Because his growth had been restricted before, almost all of his equipment had been devoted to increasing combat power. He barely had any defensive equipment.

There was absolutely no way he could survive twenty-four hours.

So the audience genuinely believed—

Wanrenzhan was going to die.

Wanrenzhan himself thought the same.

His outstretched hand never reached He Yu. His body trembled from the lightning, and the charred hand slowly fell. His eyes became somewhat vacant.

Yet he didn't hear He Yu's footsteps leaving.

Enduring the pain, Wanrenzhan thought—

Why hasn't he left?

Could it be...

He wants to watch me die before leaving?

Whoosh—

The wind sounded, followed by someone landing and striding this way.

The sound of the rain had distorted Wanrenzhan’s hearing. By the time he realized someone had arrived, that person had already walked to He Yu's side and spoken.

“He Yu.”

Somewhat unfamiliar, but Wanrenzhan knew who it was.

Bo Jingshan.

Like Ling Buchen, one of He Yu's “fellow villagers.”

Back in the transit area, Wanrenzhan had been staring at He Yu, naturally noticing the three of them sitting together. Although he couldn't hear their conversation, the atmosphere between them had left a deep impression.

It was trust that could entrust one’s back to another.

An atmosphere that made him uncomfortable.

Wanrenzhan curled his lips and sneered.

Why would He Yu need him to “save” him?

The person he had been waiting for was Bo Jingshan.

Bo Jingshan's strength wasn't weak. Combined with the strongest support, He Yu, they were the best combination.

The existence that could sweep through instances.

[Bullet screen: “So He Yu was waiting for Bo Jingshan!”]

[Bullet screen: “Makes sense. Working with Bo Jingshan is definitely better than that idiot Wanrenzhan.”]

[Bullet screen: “They really have incredible understanding. After hearing the rules, Bo Jingshan directly chose to secretly love He Yu, and He Yu just stood there waiting. Judging by what he muttered earlier, he was certain Bo Jingshan would come. What kind of trust is this? In this competition, trust still exists... rare.”]

[Bullet screen: “Blue Star’s He Yu, {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Ling Buchen, and Bo Jingshan are all unforgettable.”]

[Bullet screen: “Too bad Wanrenzhan's dying. I still ship him with He Yu...”]

He Yu pushed up his glasses and said helplessly,

“You finally came. A little later and he'd be dead.”

Bo Jingshan glanced at the miserable Wanrenzhan, then at He Yu. The corner of his mouth lifted imperceptibly.

“The starting distance was too far. Fortunately, I have flight equipment.”

He Yu gave him a deep look.

Not only had this guy's combat power improved tremendously, but he even had support equipment like flying gear. Clearly, he had obtained quite a few good things during the competition.

Moreover, considering how terrible his starting combat power had been, reaching this point through sheer force truly brought glory to Blue Star.

Looking at Bo Jingshan with appreciation, He Yu smiled.

Bo Jingshan smiled back.

In the distance, Wanrenzhan raised his charred head and rasped,

“If you're gonna fall in love, then do it... just stay away from me...”

Had he not suffered enough?

He was practically being tortured to death, and these two were acting all affectionate beside him.

Wasn't that deliberately irritating?

If they wanted to become lovers, then hurry up and do it.

Don't obstruct the eyes of a dying man.

—Deliberately making sure he died with regrets!

[Bullet screen: “I smell jealousy.”]

[Bullet screen: “Hahaha, imagining it from Wanrenzhan's perspective, he's completely miserable.”]

[Bullet screen: “Exactly! The person I love not only chose mutual destruction with me, but is planning to fall in love beside my corpse. It's like having sex at a funeral, a critical hit!!”]

[Bullet screen: “Place your bets. Will Wanrenzhan die from Love Planet's disasters, or from anger?”]

Bo Jingshan looked at the black cloud over Wanrenzhan's head and asked in confusion,

“What is that? And the ground... seems very hot?”

He Yu nodded.

“Lightning strikes, acid rain, boiling swamp. That's Love Planet's disaster. Hard to endure.”

As soon as he finished speaking—

Crack!

Another bolt descended.

Wanrenzhan shook violently.

—God has no humanity!

—Those two dog men are flirting beside me without getting struck, but they keep striking this pitiful single dog!

What kind of garbage planet is this?!

The moment he cursed inwardly—

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Three bolts struck in succession.

His body convulsed wildly and his eyes rolled back.

Even his internal cursing stopped abruptly.

Clearly—

One had to bow beneath another's roof.

Bo Jingshan: “......”

A special forces soldier who had lived on the edge of life and death all year, his will was firm.

But seeing those lightning bolts descending from above still made his spine turn cold.

He turned toward He Yu.

“So, should we bind immediately?”

Since approaching He Yu, Love Planet had already notified him—

[Please choose to form a love bond with either He Yu or Wanrenzhan within five minutes.]

There was still time, so he'd first observed.

And the conclusion was obvious—

They had to bind quickly.

Otherwise, Love Planet's disasters were impossible to withstand.

He Yu glanced at Wanrenzhan and shook his head.

“We need to bind immediately, but not with me. You and Wanrenzhan should make a love choice and become lovers.”

Bo Jingshan froze.

The audience froze.

Even Wanrenzhan, crispy inside and out from the lightning, froze.

Bo Jingshan asked,

“What about you?”

Adjusting his rimless glasses, He Yu calmly said,

“Love Planet's rules state: if a single dog encounters a couple or either member of a couple, the single dog's attacks are invalid, while the couple's attacks remain effective.”

He looked at the black cloud above Wanrenzhan and smiled slyly.

“In other words, with the three of us together, as long as you two don't attack me, I'll be safe.”

The rules only stated that “single dog attacks are ineffective.”

They never said single dogs had to suffer Love Planet's disasters.

In other words—

As long as the “couple” beside him didn't mind a glaring third wheel, the “single dog” wouldn't be oppressed by Love Planet's rules.

[Bullet screen: “As expected of you. He Yu always exploits loopholes.”]

[Bullet screen: “...I don't know why, but imagining Bo Jingshan and Wanrenzhan as a couple while He Yu is the single dog is hilarious, hahaha.”]

[Bullet screen: “Thank God He! Wanrenzhan won't die. Thank you!”]

Bo Jingshan looked at He Yu, then at the burnt Wanrenzhan.

His expression became visibly disgusted when looking at the latter, but in his heart he still chose—

To make a love choice with Wanrenzhan.

At the same time, he said coldly,

“I choose love.”

His expression was icy, as though he wasn't choosing love but disaster.

No matter how unwilling he was, he was willing to follow He Yu's arrangement.

[Bo Jingshan has chosen love toward Wanrenzhan. Please make your choice quickly, Wanrenzhan.]

Wanrenzhan: “......”

Beneath the charcoal-black complexion, his face was impossible to distinguish.

Choose mutual destruction?

Bo Jingshan would be punished, and his own twenty-four hours of punishment wouldn't disappear.

Besides—

Bo Jingshan could still become lovers with He Yu.

Absolutely not!

Choose love...

Damn it.

Wanrenzhan felt as though he'd eaten shit.

Crack—

Another heavenly lightning bolt descended.

Grinding his teeth, he shouted,

“I choose love!”

[Congratulations to Bo Jingshan and Wanrenzhan for becoming Love Planet lovers. You have received Love Planet's blessing and obtained the Love Barrier!]

The moment the notification sounded—

Both men began glowing.

Pink bubbles floated everywhere.

A pink barrier enveloped Wanrenzhan, blocking the black cloud and boiling swamp.

Even the rain was blocked.

The Love Barrier protected him.

In this scorched world, the pink bubbles were especially conspicuous.

And a dazzling rainbow bridge stretched from Wanrenzhan to Bo Jingshan.

Like a wedding scene.

[Bullet screen: “Hahahaha!”]

[Bullet screen: “HAHAHAHAHAHA!”]

Both froze.

Wanrenzhan: “......”

Though the disasters no longer attacked him, the pink bubble and rainbow bridge made his face darken.

Well—

His charcoal face already looked dark.

Humiliation.

Pure humiliation!

Bo Jingshan's expression wasn't good either.

Because after becoming lovers, they had gained a vague connection.

They could faintly sense each other's emotions.

Both emotions were—

Disgust.

Annoyance.

At this moment, this pair of lovers was truly “connected in heart.”

After one minute, the rainbow bridge disappeared.

The world became strangely quiet.

Even the barrier blocked sound.

Thunder and rain vanished.

Not even the wind remained.

Neither Bo Jingshan nor Wanrenzhan wanted to speak.

He Yu touched his chin thoughtfully.

“So the effects stack. My mutual destruction effect on Wanrenzhan is still active, but because you two became lovers, the Love Barrier protects him from the mutual destruction effects...”

Then He Yu suddenly smiled.

“So? How does being lovers feel?”

Bo Jingshan: “......”

Wanrenzhan: “......”

Excellent.

They became “connected in heart” again.

At this moment, they shared exactly the same feeling—

They wanted to kill someone.

[Bullet screen: “Hahaha! The desire to kill someone can't be hidden!”]

[Bullet screen: “They both came to become lovers with He Yu, but unexpectedly the rivals became lovers!”]

[Bullet screen: “Hahaha, this is fun. I love it!”]

Wanrenzhan knew He Yu was saving him.

Yet he still felt stifled.

And because of his personality, he couldn't express gratitude.

He merely sat on the ground with a dark face.

With the protection of the pink barrier, even the boiling swamp seemed less frightening.

The rough, charred giant of a man inside a pink bubble...

He Yu burst into laughter.

“Hahahahaha!”

He rarely laughed so happily.

His eyes curved into crescents.

But Wanrenzhan immediately darkened.

Grinding his teeth, he growled,

“He Yu, this is all because you insisted on choosing mutual destruction!”

He didn't hate He Yu for making him suffer the disaster.

He only hated becoming “lovers” with Bo Jingshan.

—Damn, disgusting!

Expressionless, Bo Jingshan said,

“I find it even more disgusting. If not for He Yu, I'd rather watch you get struck to death.”

If it weren't He Yu's wish, even if Wanrenzhan died in front of him, he wouldn't have raised an eyebrow.

But He Yu wanted him alive.

Wanrenzhan: “......”

Their shared emotional link only made everything worse.

This damned world—

What kind of hell was it?

He Yu lightly poked the pink bubble, smiling.

“Wanrenzhan, think positively. At least you're safe for the next twenty-four hours. Not a loss.”

The bubble was rather cute.

Interesting.

The devil who designed this world had creativity.

Hearing that, Wanrenzhan stood up angrily, leaning on his axe.

“Hey! Don't forget, you're a single dog with no rights now. I can attack you. You made me suffer like this—watch me chop you to death!”

He shook his axe threateningly.

Bo Jingshan remained silent.

Through the lover connection, he clearly sensed that Wanrenzhan had no killing intent whatsoever.

Only multiplied frustration.

Bo Jingshan became even more disgusted.

—What an unlikeable person.

Tsundere.

Rude and overbearing.

Tilting his head, He Yu smiled.

“Sure. Feel free.”

Pushing up his glasses, he smiled meaningfully.

“But I should remind you. Bo Jingshan is my secret admirer. According to the rules, a single dog can make one love choice toward their admirer. We can become lovers at any time and betray you.”

As for who Bo Jingshan would choose—

Even one's toes knew the answer.

Wanrenzhan: “???”

The word betray...

Made him feel even worse.

If Bo Jingshan and He Yu became lovers, the barrier would vanish.

And he'd be struck by lightning again.

Apparently—

He only had one choice.

Hugging his axe, Wanrenzhan sat down again.

At that moment, he looked utterly—

Weak.

Pitiful.

Helpless.

Only able to hug his axe and sulk by himself.

How had things reached this point?

Patting the pink bubble, He Yu comforted him absentmindedly.

“Look on the bright side. Maybe you're not the most miserable. Someone even more miserable might appear later.”

Wanrenzhan: “......”

Not comforted at all.

He Yu reached out and touched the bubble again.

Warm.

Soft and springy.

He touched it again.

Half-heartedly he said,

“Cheer up.”

Wanrenzhan thought—

Does he really care about me that much?

He's touched it several times already.

His dark face inexplicably turned red.

His ears twitched.

His terrible mood instantly improved.

Even the pain from his injuries lessened.

Even being bound as lovers with trash-planet Bo Jingshan seemed less disgusting.

Bo Jingshan: “............”

He silently averted his eyes.

Blinding.

Did he care about you?

He just thought the bubble was fun!

—This guy was as annoying as this world itself.

Retracting his hand, He Yu said,

“Alright. Let's keep moving. We need somewhere to stay.”

Bo Jingshan nodded and followed immediately.

Without sparing a glance for his “lover.”

Wanrenzhan, still unable to stand properly: “......”

Supporting himself with the axe, he staggered after them.

The two walked on either side of He Yu.

Bo Jingshan stood beside him, perfectly matched.

Meanwhile, Wanrenzhan inside his pink bubble seemed to belong to another world.

[Bullet screen: “Hahaha! Couples don't look like couples, single dogs don't look like single dogs!”]

[Bullet screen: “I'm dying. Looking at those three, I can't tell who's the couple and who's single.”]

—

On Main Planet, Qiao glared speechlessly at Wanrenzhan.

Finally, unable to endure anymore, he cursed:

“Wanrenzhan is a fucking idiot! How did the previous champion turn out to be trash like you?”

“If you had any brains, you'd have chosen mutual destruction the moment you saw He Yu! None of this would've happened!”

—

Meanwhile, Qiong thought—

If she could meet He Yu, that would be ideal.

Because she trusted that He Yu wouldn't kill her.

So she prayed and selected—

[Secretly love He Yu.]

But one look at the map chilled her heart.

Too far.

Far too far.

—

At the same time, Zhen Xing had already made his choice.

[Secretly love He Yu.]

Without hesitation.

Then he obtained He Yu's location and immediately rushed toward him without stopping.

Unfortunately—

They were too far apart.

And He Yu was still moving.

[Bullet screen: “Holy shit, this is true shipping!”]

[Bullet screen: “Immediately secretly loving He Yu, immediately chasing after him. During these thirty days, they have to fall in love once!”]

[Bullet screen: “This is the real CP! Strange ships like Wanrenzhan should disappear.”]

—

After resting, Wanrenzhan recovered noticeably.

Looking at the bubble in surprise, he said,

“This thing... accelerates recovery.”

He Yu raised an eyebrow and touched the bubble again.

“That's a great item. Recover inside while we scout Love Planet.”

They couldn't enter the lovers' bubble.

Only Bo Jingshan could.

When He Yu had jokingly called it their “love nest,” both men had darkened and become even more miserable.

Wanrenzhan suddenly asked,

“Can this bubble ride your flying equipment?”

Five minutes later—

He Yu and Bo Jingshan stood gracefully atop the broom.

Below the broom...

Hung Wanrenzhan.

Yes.

He was tied up by a rope and dangled far beneath.

The rope came from He Yu's transforming equipment.

Thus the audience saw—

Above, He Yu and Bo Jingshan standing elegantly.

Below—

A pink ball.

A black cloud pressing on it.

Lightning and rain continuously falling.

Inside stood a charcoal-black man.

Motionless.

Expressionless.

Like a corpse.

[Bullet screen: “HAHAHAHA!”]

[Bullet screen: “Wanrenzhan, my source of happiness!”]

After a long silence, the black corpse roared:

“He Yu! Tomorrow, become lovers with me!”

He Yu ignored him.

Bo Jingshan ignored him even more.

“If we meet people, what will you do? Bind with them?”

He Yu smiled faintly.

“No rush. Let's see who it is.”

Then the corners of his lips rose.

“And with you two around, I'm safe.”

Suddenly Bo Jingshan pointed ahead.

“Someone's there. Want to check?”

He Yu looked surprised.

“Your eyes...”

Bo Jingshan explained,

“In the second instance, I got a medicinal plant. After eating it, my eyesight became extraordinary.”

He Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The Federation's plants really resembled spirit herbs.

The broom changed direction.

Behind them came Wanrenzhan's furious roar:

“DON'T IGNORE ME!”

—

Meanwhile, Eugene muttered nervously:

“So who should I become lovers with... He Yu seems most suitable?”

“No, no. Getting close to He Yu brings misfortune...”

After thinking, he finally chose—

[Secretly love Jun.]

Perfect.

Jun wasn't far away.

He smiled.

Then—

His smile froze.

In the sky appeared a familiar broom.

And there was clearly more than one person on it.

Eugene's face changed.

“He Yu! God He! Don't come near me!”

—Please stay away!

—Please spare me!

The broom paused.

Then turned around.

He Yu had graciously spared him.

Eugene let out a breath.

But then—

[How can people on Love Planet simply pass each other? As long as they see one another, they must make a love choice!]

[Please make your love choice.]

Eugene: “......”

He Yu and the other three: “......”

—This world's mechanism was a bit mischievous.
