NABC Chapter 4 Fairy Ji, do you have time tonight?
Chapter 4 Fairy Ji, do you have time tonight?
Nanxian Sect.
Mount Nainai.
Inside a simple attic.
A sliver of light shone through the window paper and spilled onto the small couch.
Li Muyu sat cross-legged with his eyes lowered, and the information on the panel appeared before him.
Name: Li Muyu
[Realm Level: Late Stage of Realm Six (2705/3000)]
[Technique: Azure Sky Transformation Cloud Technique, Intermediate Earth Rank (Minor Success 1420/2000)]
[Innate Divine Ability: Not yet awakened]
【Mantou Coins: 3000】
His cultivation level was indeed somewhat low, quite different from the direct disciples of the various peaks of the Southern Immortal Sect. Fortunately, he had taken this into account when designing the game.
Li Muyu opened the system store.
Various top-tier cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, and magical artifacts are displayed in an orderly manner, and the required Steamed Bun Coins gradually increase with the increase in their grade.
Some Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques require even more precious Butterfly Coins to exchange for, which are currently beyond Li Muyu's reach.
Li Muyu opened the magic weapon section and skillfully found the treasure in the corner.
Inflatable Puppet (Manual Transmission), Mid-Level Earth-Rank Magic Item
Price: 2500 Steamed Bun Coins
[Effect: A nighttime training tool that uses spirit stones as fuel to assist the host in cultivation, hone combat skills, and significantly accelerate the progress of cultivation techniques.]
[Note: Due to wear and tear over time, please take good care of it and maintain it properly.]
Although its performance is not as good as an automatic transmission, it is sufficient to meet current needs.
After paying for his younger brother's meal, Li Muyu stretched slowly in the morning light.
Several days have passed since we returned to the sect. My senior sister has been staying in her room healing her injuries. I wonder how well she is recovering.
Go and try your luck, see if you can get some goodwill.
Li Muyu washed and dressed, then prepared to go out.
Suddenly, a figure was seen standing outside the house, peeking out furtively.
bang——
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the person, caught off guard, fell down on the threshold.
"Ouch, my butt."
The man, dressed in flowing cloud-patterned brocade robes, had delicate features, resembling a frail scholar, and was grimacing as he covered his buttocks.
Seeing Li Muyu standing in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she jumped up, crying and howling as she reached out to hug him.
"Brother Fish".
Li Muyu's eyelids trembled slightly, and she pressed his head down with a hint of disgust.
"Why are you here?"
The man was pushed away without getting angry; he simply raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eye.
"I heard from people in the sect that Brother Yu'er was ambushed by Yuxu Palace at Zheyun Mountain. I was worried that something had happened to you, so I came to check on you."
The man's name was Lu Guan, a member of a clan in Jiangnan, and he had known Li Muyu since childhood.
The two joined the Southern Immortal Sect together and are now disciples under the Elder of Little Bamboo Peak.
"Come in."
Li Muyu pulled out a stool and poured two cups of tea.
As soon as Lu Guan sat down, he leaned over and asked excitedly.
"I heard that Brother Yu killed a fifth-realm demon in Zheyun Mountain, is that true?"
Li Muyu nodded.
Upon seeing this, Lu Guan's eyes lit up, as if he were the one slaying the demon, and he was filled with excitement.
"That's a fifth-realm demon race! Even our senior brother from Little Bamboo Peak, who is also a fifth-realm cultivator, wasn't confident he could take them down."
"Brother Fish, how did you do that?"
Li Muyu spoke casually.
"I told the monster I had a very powerful treasure, but it didn't believe me and insisted on experiencing its power for itself. As a result, it died after trying it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Guan's eyes lit up.
"What kind of treasure is this? It can actually slay a fifth-realm demon beast! Can I see it?"
Li Muyu resolutely refused.
"Sorry, my baby only reacts to female demons."
Lu Guan gave an "oh," looking slightly disappointed.
But he quickly skimmed over it and began to tell Li Muyu about what had happened in the sect during this time, talking non-stop.
Suddenly remembering something, she glanced at Li Muyu discreetly, unsure how to speak.
Li Muyu noticed that he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Spit it out if you have something to say."
Lu Guandao said, "You told me to say it. We made it clear beforehand that you weren't allowed to get angry after hearing it."
Li Muyu got up, preparing to see the guest off.
Lu Guan quickly grabbed his arm.
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, okay?"
"It's Ji Yudie. She's getting married to Xu Zhengyang. The whole sect is talking about it now. I heard that their two families have a close relationship and this marriage was arranged a long time ago."
As he spoke, Lu Guan's tone grew increasingly indignant, expressing his indignation on behalf of Li Muyu.
"It's a good thing that Brother Yu liked her so much before, and risked going to Zheyun Mountain to pick snow lotus for her."
After listening to Lu Guan's words, Li Muyu thought for a moment.
Ji Yudie, one of the female protagonists in Scarlet Goddess Chronicle, is a direct disciple of Jade Maiden Peak and a target for romance in the early stages of the game.
However, after three years of being in the sect, the protagonist has made no substantial progress.
Seeing that Li Muyu hadn't reacted for a while, Lu Guan assumed he was upset and was about to say something to comfort him.
嗡、
A surge of powerful true energy suddenly emanated from Mount Nainai.
Li Muyu sensed that the sound was coming from his senior sister's pavilion, so he immediately got up and went to check.
Warm room.
Li Muyu knocked on the door and entered.
Gu Qingxue, dressed in a white dress, sat cross-legged on a small couch and slowly opened her eyes.
Her exquisite face was as flawless as jade, with eyebrows like autumn water, eyes like the bright moon, and skin as white as snow, radiating a warm glow, like a fairy who did not eat the food of this world.
Seeing Li Muyu walk in, the corners of her lips subtly turned up. Bathed in warm light, she appeared less aloof and more gentle, giving off a strangely approachable yet sophisticated vibe.
No matter how many times I see it, I'm still amazed.
Sensing the presence emanating from Gu Qingxue, Li Muyu raised an eyebrow slightly.
"You've surpassed your senior sister's level?"
Gu Qingxue nodded.
"A trip to Zheyun Mountain brought me some enlightenment."
[Fairy Character: Gu Qingxue]
[Realm level improved, reward 200 cultivation points]
[Current Realm: Late Stage of the Fifth Realm]
[Special Reward: The female protagonist accumulates 500 cultivation points]
Seeing the system notification, Li Muyu's eyes burned even brighter.
My dear senior sister, you're getting more and more fragrant!
Gu Qingxue noticed Li Muyu's undisguised gaze, and a faint blush rose to her jade-like cheeks.
As a half-disciple of Nainai Peak, Lu Guan had a very good relationship with Li Muyu and knew him very well.
It was discovered that since their trip to Zheyun Mountain, the relationship between Li Muyu and Gu Qingxue seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but I felt that Li Muyu's gaze towards Gu Qingxue revealed a hint of greed.
What surprised him most was that the aloof and ethereal Jade Sword Fairy didn't seem to mind at all.
For a moment, Lu Guan even felt that he was getting in the way of the two of them.
"Brother Yu, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
As he spoke, he nudged Li Muyu with his elbow, giving him a knowing look.
Li Muyu looked helpless.
"That kid is always like that, I never know what he's thinking."
Gu Qingxue naturally noticed Lu Guan's little actions, and quietly pursed her thin lips, her blush spreading all the way to her ears.
Li Muyu sat down by the bed and examined Gu Qingxue's complexion.
Gu Qingxue was seriously injured during her trip to Zheyun Mountain. If she does not recuperate properly, it may affect her foundation.
"Is your injury any better, Senior Sister?"
Gu Qingxue nodded.
"It's all right now."
During the conversation, Li Muyu noticed a strand of her hair falling down her temple. He gently reached out and tucked it behind her ear.
Gu Qingxue's eyes trembled slightly as she watched Li Muyu's intimate actions, but she showed no disgust. The image of the two holding hands appeared in her mind, making her feel shy and charming.
Seeing his senior sister's shy expression, Li Muyu couldn't help but sigh that she was too easy to win over, and he was preparing to test her further.
Suddenly, Lu Guan's voice was heard coming from outside.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
Outside the attic stood a young man and woman, exuding an air of extraordinary elegance.
"It is the man in the cloud-patterned robe," said the man.
"We came to visit Junior Brother Li after hearing that he was injured."
Lu Guan stood outside the door, glaring at the woman in the green dress beside him, and snorted coldly.
"Forget it. If it weren't for someone, Brother Yu wouldn't have risked going to Zheyun Mountain."
The young couple in front of me are Xu Zhengyang and Ji Yudie.
Li Muyu and his senior sister came upon hearing the news.
"Guan'er, since they're guests, let them in."
"But…"
Lu Guanxin was unwilling to give up, so he simply stopped and stood aside, staring intently at the two of them.
Xu Zhengyang is the personal disciple of the head of Zixiao Peak, ranked seventh on the Sky List, and enjoys considerable prestige within the sect.
"Having heard that Junior Brother Li and Junior Sister Gu were attacked by the Demonic Sect, I came to visit them."
He spoke kindly, but his eyes never met Li Muyu's; they remained fixed on Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue stood beside Li Muyu, expressionless and seemingly oblivious.
Li Muyu laughed.
"It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it, senior brother."
Xu Zhengyang turned to look at Li Muyu.
"Junior brother, what are you saying? If you hadn't been picking snow lotus for Yu Die, you wouldn't have gotten hurt."
"I came here today specifically to apologize to Junior Brother Li."
Ji Yudie stood to the side, her jet-black hair simply tied up with a jade hairpin, cascading down to her waist like a waterfall, her azure eyes carrying a faint sense of aloofness.
Although Gu Qingxue cultivated diligently and lived a secluded life, she had heard some things about Li Muyu and Ji Yudie.
Hearing Xu Zhengyang's words, he didn't speak, but his eyes revealed a hint of loneliness. After glancing at the two of them, he silently turned and left.
Lu Guan, standing to the side, felt an itch to bite Xu Zhengyang as he watched him smugly gloat.
Li Muyu slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered.
"I almost forgot if you hadn't reminded me."
He took out a snow lotus from his Qiankun Ring; it was pure white and exuded a faint fragrance.
"This snow lotus is a water-based spiritual herb, which is most beneficial to women's cultivation."
Xu Zhengyang smiled.
"Junior Brother Li, you are very kind. I thank you on behalf of Yu Die."
Li Muyu withdrew his hand.
What are you doing?
"Who said I was going to give it to you?"
Li Muyu turned around, suddenly took his senior sister's hand, and placed the snow lotus in her hand in front of everyone.
"Flowers are the perfect gift for a beautiful woman."
Gu Qingxue was about to leave when Li Muyu suddenly stopped her. Looking at the snow lotus in her hand, she was taken aback.
"Is this for me?"
Li Muyu nodded, his smile bright and clear.
"I know that you've been stuck at a bottleneck in your cultivation for a long time. I originally planned to help you break through to the late stage of the fifth realm, but it seems that it didn't help much."
Gu Qingxue shook her head slightly, her bright eyes sparkling as if floating with stars. Her gaze towards Li Muyu was gentle as water. She gently picked up the snow lotus, protecting it in her heart as if it were a precious treasure.
Gu Qingxue's favorability has increased significantly.
Current progress: 50%
[Reward Technique: Eight Directions Prison Tiger Technique (Body Tempering), High-Level Earth-Rank Technique]
?
Looking at the system notification, Li Muyu was also a little surprised. He had just casually sent a flower, and the progress of the strategy had increased so much.
The protagonist had been pursuing Ji Yudie for many years, but it was all for naught compared to going to Zheyun Mountain with his senior sister.
It really is true that choice is more important than effort!
Seeing this, Lu Guan felt an indescribable sense of pleasure and immediately mocked.
"That person is just wishful thinking. Brother Fish wasn't prepared for you at all."
Xu Zhengyang had not expected Li Muyu's move, and his face was extremely ugly. More importantly, Gu Qingxue's attitude was also a concern.
He had sent her countless precious pills before, but she had refused them all.
Li Muyu gave her a broken snow lotus, which she treasured as a precious gem.
Li Muyu glanced at Ji Yudie.
She remained expressionless and detached, as if none of this concerned her.
In the game's setting, Ji Yudie is ordered by her family to marry Xu Zhengyang. It has nothing to do with love; she is a pitiful woman whose fate is manipulated by power struggles.
In order to ensure the game passed censorship, the plot design required the protagonist to be sincere. Although he eventually won over Ji Yudie, the process was too tedious and didn't suit his personality.
I have my own rhythm.
A woman's heart grows harder the more you lick it.
I watch action movies in short bursts, do you think I'd have the patience to coax you?
Xu Zhengyang gave Li Muyu a deep look, snorted coldly, and left in a huff.
Ji Yudie was about to turn and leave when Li Muyu suddenly called her back.
"Fairy Ji, do you have time tonight?"
