The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him

Chapter 109: A world designed by game fans, you can’t mess with it

"Ice Cream, check out what's underneath." Lin Qiqi asked Ice Cream to take action directly. Although there was spiritual energy underneath, it was not much, so she didn't need to make any effort. She was just curious.

Ice Cream Cone immediately checked the bottom of the cold pond.

"Master, there are four pillars underneath." Ice Cream Tong had a complicated expression after looking at them. "They are useless pillars. There is just a little bit of spiritual energy left on the stones used to build them."

"What kind of pillar?" Lin Qiqi's curiosity was aroused.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)...how should I put it?" Ice Cream Cone tried to find the right words to describe it. "It's very sloppy, and the shape is weird. There's words engraved on each pillar. Let me see, it says Sun, Nebula, Whirlpool, and Stardust."

When Lin Qiqi heard Zhuzi's name, her forehead twitched. No way, no way, it wasn't what she thought. Thinking about the various selection interfaces that suddenly appeared after the ice cream cone was upgraded, Lin Qiqi had a guess in her mind.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qiqi tried to calm her voice and asked, "Tian Tong, let me ask you some questions that are not against the rules. Is the person who created you a huge game fan?"

Ice Cream tried to whisper the answer first, but was not banned. Then he answered confidently: "That's right, it seems like there is no game he hasn't played."

"Does he like all kinds of imaginative games?"

Ice Cream nodded. "Yeah, I remember him praising Salamandra. He said that being able to create a game like that at that time required incredible imagination and design."

Lin Qiqi: Thank you so much. Fortunately, Yun Qing didn’t design this world according to those weird games. She really can’t accept intestines and brains as levels.

Now Lin Qiqi finally understood why there was a sense of incongruity everywhere. This world designed by game fans is not to be messed with.

And now this dried-up cold pond is probably the hint left by Yun Qing, which is really well-intentioned.

Lin Qiqi looked at Yun Qing in front of her. Wasn't he afraid that Yun Qing wouldn't be able to find the hint he left behind, or was this just some kind of fan interest? What if another fan happened to come from their world? Would they really dig up the ground and chop down the pillars to see if some incredible treasure would drop? She was speechless.

Yun Qing felt uneasy when Lin Qiqi stared at him. He didn't do anything to make Qiqi angry, so why did she look at him so strangely?

"Let's go." Although she didn't have high expectations for Yun Qing's grandfather, Lin Qiqi still wanted to see for herself whether the old man was an NPC assigned to her by Yun Qing, or a real relative of Yun Qing from the book. After all, Yun Qing's kinship line hadn't disappeared.

Soon, the two of them climbed over Luoxia Mountain and walked up along the path at the foot of the mountain, and they saw the gate of Anning Villa.

Yun Qing stood quietly in front of the gate, looking at the big words, with an expression on his face that didn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

This was where he grew up, but he didn't have many happy and nostalgic memories here. Ever since he could remember, it had been endless training and studying. He could understand that, but it didn't stop him from feeling repulsed.

Lin Qiqi sensed Yun Qing's emotions, gently squeezed his hand, and said softly, "Let's go. You haven't been back for a long time. Your grandfather must miss you very much."

Yun Qing thought to himself, he wouldn't do that. If he saw him, he would probably blame him for not making any progress.

The two had just reached the door, barely gaining a firm footing, when suddenly, a dull yet resounding bell rang from within the villa. The sound seemed to pierce the clouds and strike directly into one's heart. Then, with a creaking sound, the heavy door, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened, the gap widening until it was completely open.

At that moment, several dark figures darted out of the villa like lightning, landing steadily on either side of the gate in the blink of an eye. Upon closer inspection, they were all guards in black uniforms. They moved in unison, quickly and orderly forming two rows, like well-trained soldiers.

However, all this happened so quickly that Lin Qiqi had no time to see the scene clearly, let alone to express surprise. Just as she was about to take a closer look, a deafening shout suddenly rang out: "Welcome Young Master, Young Master's Wife!"

This sudden shout was like a thunderclap in Lin Qiqi's ears, shocking her to the core. Her eyes widened involuntarily, her mouth slightly open, a look of disbelief on her face. She had never witnessed such a grand spectacle before!

Yun Qing, who was standing by, was also stunned by the scene, with shock and confusion written all over his face.

You know, he had gone out to do business many times before and then returned to the villa, but he had never enjoyed such a grand welcoming ceremony.

Did the old man suddenly lose his mind? Or is there some hidden conspiracy?

Thinking of this, Yun Qing couldn't help but feel a little alert. He subconsciously took two steps back and looked up to carefully examine the plaque hanging above the gate. On it were written four big characters "An Ning Villa".

That’s right, this is indeed the An Ning Villa that he is familiar with, but why is it so abnormal today?

When the two of them were awkwardly unsure whether to go forward or backward, an old man with a tall figure but white hair and beard, dressed in a dark green robe, appeared quietly at the top of the stairs, as if he had walked out of an ancient scroll.

His weathered face was full of traces of time, but his eyes were still bright, revealing an awe-inspiring majesty.

The old man's voice was like a resounding bell, and his words seemed to carry a surging inner strength, clearly reaching the ears of the people below: "You're back, why don't you come in? Could it be that you're enjoying yourself outside and don't want to leave?"

Yun Qing, standing at the bottom of the stairs, heard this and his bright eyes dimmed slightly. He slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Qiqi beside him. Then he gently took her hand and stepped onto the stone steps one by one, steadily and firmly.

When he finally reached the old man, Yun Qing stopped and carefully released the hand that was holding Lin Qiqi. Then, he lifted the hem of his robe with a swift movement, knelt on both knees, kowtowed respectfully and said, "The unworthy grandson Yun Qing greets Grandfather!"

Seeing this, Lin Qiqi's mouth twitched involuntarily. For a moment, she was unsure whether she should kneel down as well. Logically, she should have, but she had been accustomed to freedom since childhood and wasn't used to such formalities. Just as she was struggling with her inner struggles, Yunqing's grandfather reached out and gently lifted Yunqing from the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Qiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She calmed down and began to look at the legendary grandfather in front of her with curiosity.

The old man was in good spirits, with a rosy complexion and in good physical condition. However, the bright kinship line on his face still made Lin Qiqi unable to stand steadily. This was actually Yun Qing's grandfather!

This guy didn't arrange some programmed person or paper person for himself. At least for now, it seems that they are his real relatives.

Lin Qiqi was confused. Was her previous guess wrong? Weren't those four pillars Yun Qing's clues? Impossible.

Or maybe she was thinking too simply?

Forget it, she didn't want to guess anymore, so she just let it go.

The old man and the young man just stared at each other quietly. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air around them seemed to become solemn. Neither of them took the initiative to say a word.

Lin Qiqi, who was standing aside, observed the slightly awkward relationship between the grandfather and grandson with great interest, and couldn't help but feel an urge to laugh.

She could see that the old man's eyes were clearly filled with concern, but he pretended to be indifferent and acted as if he didn't care; the young man seemed a little guilty and uneasy, fiddling with the corners of his clothes with his hands, obviously not knowing how to break the awkward silence.

At this moment, my grandfather, who had been silent the entire time, finally couldn't help but speak first: "Humph! You finally remembered to come back and visit an old man like me. I thought you had completely forgotten about me!"

Hearing this, Yun Qing suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Because in his memory, his grandfather had always been extremely strict with him, and whenever he spoke he was either harsh or scolding loudly. He had never communicated with him in such a gentle and slightly reproachful tone as today.

Could it be that Grandfather had suddenly changed his personality? Or perhaps he had been possessed by some evil being?

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Yun Qing's mind, making him a little overwhelmed and completely unsure of how to respond.

Just as Yun Qing stood there, lost in thought, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out from behind him. It was the butler, beaming, approaching, "Ah, our young master is finally home! You might not know this, but ever since you left, the owner has been eagerly awaiting your return! Every day, he sends people down the mountain to inquire about your return, their necks stretched out like giraffes, practically reaching the roof beams!"

As soon as he finished speaking, my grandfather glared at the housekeeper fiercely and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense here!" However, even though he said this, a barely perceptible smile could be seen on my grandfather's wrinkled face.

The butler paid no attention to the manor owner's reaction. He continued with a cheerful smile, "Hey, our manor owner received the news the moment we first entered Luoxia Mountain! Look, he's been waiting here long ago, so tired he couldn't even sit still. Please come in! We've carefully prepared many of the young master's favorite delicacies."

Hearing this, Yun Qing's lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word. At this moment, his heart was filled with surprise, which was simply beyond words.

Seeing this, Lin Qiqi, who was standing nearby, gently held Yun Qing's hand. Feeling the warm and soft touch, Yun Qing finally came back to her senses, as if waking from a dream.

After calming himself down a bit, Yun Qing introduced everyone with a slightly stiff voice, "This is my wife, Lin Qiqi." As he finished speaking, his grandfather's face was filled with kindness. He looked at Lin Qiqi tenderly, nodding and praising her repeatedly, "Haha, we finally got such a beautiful girl into our family. Great! That's fantastic!"

Obviously, grandpa was not unfamiliar with Lin Qiqi.

After all, they had been in frequent contact since Yunqing was ten years old. Presumably, the guards assigned by his grandfather to Yunqing's side to protect his safety would have reported back every detail of Yunqing's life.

However, there were some obvious differences between the grandfather she saw at this moment and the image in Yun Qing's memory and the description Lin Qiqi had heard before. Where exactly did the discrepancy occur? For a moment, it was really confusing.

"Alright, let's not just stand here. Let's go inside." Grandfather turned around, his hands clasped behind his back, and walked towards the house. Seeing this, Yunqing and Lin Qiqi hurriedly followed closely behind him.

After Lin Qiqi stood still, she began to carefully examine the Anning Villa.

She discovered that the villa was truly substantial, covering a vast area and cleverly built along the mountain's slopes. Its location was ingenious, with mountains surrounding it at the back and water flowing in front, creating a scene that would trap wind and gather energy. The peaks on either side, set against the dense bamboo forest, resembled a Azure Dragon and a White Tiger guarding the area. The valleys in front and behind, along with the winding river, resembled the Vermillion Bird and the Black Tortoise, each entrenched within.

Such an excellent Feng Shui location is truly admirable.

The villa's architecture is even more magnificent. Looking up from below, all you see is blue bricks and green tiles, with eaves and corners rising high, seemingly reaching for the sky. Its simple and elegant charm is like a gentle breeze, instantly captivating you.

Even more striking is the fact that at the highest point of the villa, there is a viewing platform with a wide view and a superb location. Standing there, one can surely take in the beautiful scenery of the entire mountain forest.

Walking into the villa, Lin Qiqi was surprised to find that there were a wide variety of flowers and a wide variety of precious herbs planted here.

Some are gorgeous and tempting, some are simple and elegant, and they are intertwined with each other to form a magnificent picture. The whole environment is simply beautiful beyond imagination.

However, as Lin Qiqi strolled through the villa, she suddenly felt that the overall layout seemed familiar. She racked her brain, searching deep in her memory for similar buildings, and finally, an idea struck her - wasn't this a scene from an online game she once played?

Especially when she thought that if she could add a gourd-shaped sculpture in the square in front of the villa, it would completely overlap with the Medicine King Valley in the game, without any difference.

You are really a real game fan. You can even connect the real scenery with the virtual world. You are worthy of being called a game fan Yunqing!
