Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 354 - 348: Do You Like Me or That Fish?

Yuze urgently stopped the Mighty General in mid-air, staring at Josh: "Speak up! When you say you won’t like anyone, do you mean you don’t like the Mermaid King?"

Josh blinked, her mind a bit frozen, why did it feel like she couldn’t keep up with his thought process?

She nodded blankly: "I guess...?"

Yuze suddenly laughed: "Very good."

Josh: "..."

Yuze patted her head: "Alright, I’ve got it."

Josh felt like maybe he didn’t understand what she meant.

She got a bit anxious: "No, what I mean is, in the future..."

"Alright, we’ll talk about the future when it comes." Yuze interrupted her.

Josh was a bit bewildered.

Yuze looked at her: "What about the future? Only the present moment, every minute and every second, is when we’re truly alive. Who can say what the future holds? Maybe you will become a deity and happily return to your sect, or maybe I will and fulfill what I want to do, or maybe it will be someone else entirely, and both of us will end up empty-handed. Why waste time worrying about something so far off?"

Josh stared into Yuze’s dark eyes, a face she knew so well, yet suddenly seemed a bit unfamiliar.

Had she ever seen this side of Yuze before?

Yuze rubbed her head: "Alright, don’t get tangled up over it. It’s true, because of the soulmate connection, I’m nicer to you and like you more. But there’s no need for you to feel burdened. The captain isn’t someone who’ll live or die for love, right? What’s important is being happy when we’re together. You’re so young, why are you worrying so much?"

The heavy weight on her heart was suddenly lifted.

She hadn’t expected Yuze’s attitude to be so open-minded. Every time Yuze was nice to her, she felt guilty, as if she were leaving soon, and it felt like being treated so kindly was like being a thief, a fraud, stealing someone else’s goodwill.

Yuze suddenly pivoted: "But the captain really does like you a lot. If you want a short-term relationship, you’re welcome anytime~"

He added: "But you’ll have to wait until you’re of age."

Josh suddenly laughed: "Thank you, captain!"

The Mighty General continued heading towards Garbage Star.

"But the captain has another question. Do you like the captain more or that dead fish more?"

"Uh..."

"If the captain and the dead fish were facing divine punishment and were about to die, and you could only save one, who would you save?"

"I..."

"Who do you think looks better, the captain or the dead fish?"

"I want to get off the ship..."

When they arrived at Garbage Star, Yuze navigated the familiar route to the food street and found a barbecue stall.

Josh curiously looked at the barbecue stall, which offered all kinds of oddly shaped meats, many she had never seen before.

Yuze, who knew his way around well, said: "Give me two skewers of each of these."

"Alright!" The boss nodded with a smiling face, glanced at Josh beside him, and familiarly asked: "Xiao Ze brought his girlfriend to play today, huh?"

Yuze curved his lips: "Yeah."

Josh was about to speak.

Yuze gave her a cool glance.

Josh quietly closed her mouth.

When they were seated at a nearby small stall, she was still questioning reality.

Why was this different from what she imagined?

She originally thought that after breaking the ice, Yuze would at least distance himself from her, and if nothing else, he would be sensitive about topics related to feelings and might not bring them up again.

She even thought that after breaking the ice, her relationship with Yuze would slowly fade.

But why did it seem like?

Instead?

Yuze became even more unrestrained?

Before breaking the ice, at least he would hold back because she was underage.

Now he wasn’t even pretending anymore?

The boss cheerfully brought over the barbecue, enthusiastically saying: "It’s XY’s first time bringing his girlfriend here, so here’s two plates of grilled oysters for you. They’re a bit hot, be careful."

Yuze laughed: "Thanks~"

Josh reached out, about to take some, but Yuze moved the barbecue over to himself: "Answer the question first, who do you like more, the captain or the dead fish?"

Josh’s face turned dark: "Aren’t you childish?"

"Oh, using my love and now complaining I’m childish? Who was it that took you shopping on your first day in the team, bought your daily necessities? Who helped you kill the mosquito in the corner? Who partnered with you in dungeons, diligently doing the fighting? Who..."

"Alright, alright, it was you, it was you, okay?" Josh twitched the corners of her mouth, picked up a crispy grilled shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth to shut him up.

Yuze expressionlessly spit out the shrimp and placed it on the plate.

Josh: "?"

Yuze: "It’s hot."

The two of them exchanged a glance and suddenly laughed together.

"Boss! Two bottles of wine!" Yuze called out.

Josh’s eyes lit up: "I can drink too?"

Yuze met her bright eyes: "Today’s a minor holiday, we can make an exception."

Two bottles of fruit wine were placed on the table.

The lively crowd bustled around them, and the air was filled not just with the aroma of barbecue but also other delicious snacks, making it incredibly tempting.

Josh felt a strange sensation in her heart. This Garbage Star was a shadow from her childhood, a place she didn’t want to mention or approach.

In fact, when Yuze invited her today, she was somewhat resistant.

But the joyful laughter and lively atmosphere around her were completely different from the Garbage Star she had imagined.

The dark memories were gradually overshadowed by the warmth and liveliness in front of her.

An hour ago, she was still restricted and bored in a fancy dress, starving on Layena Star.

An hour later, she found herself freely sitting across from Yuze on Garbage Star, enjoying barbecue.

Moreover, the stone that had long weighed on her heart was shattered by Yuze.

Josh had to admit that Yuze truly was a man with extraordinary charisma.

If she were to stay on Federation Planet, she would surely fall in love with Yuze.

Being with him was truly relaxing and joyful.

He had this inexplicable ease about him that made people want to relax and simply enjoy life.

Yuze suddenly said again: "You don’t need to look for the Mermaid King anymore. If I’m not wrong, he’s probably already dead."

Josh suddenly froze.

Yuze looked at her: "Last time in that Rose dungeon, you saw him in the Illusion Realm, didn’t you? Didn’t he say anything to you? Like a farewell or last words?"

Josh’s eyes dimmed: "Yes..."

But she hadn’t thought of it at the time, hadn’t processed it.

Yuze: "Before I came out of that dungeon, I turned back and saw there was likely a big explosion that destroyed the whole world, which is why that dungeon got deleted. So, if that fish didn’t escape in time, he’s definitely done for."

Yuze paused, then continued: "Coincidentally, in the Illusion Realm, he also said some things to me, convincing me that he probably intended to go down with the dungeon. That big explosion might have even been his doing."
