Liu Yuan jumped down from the beam and was greeted by Ning Xiangrong's punches. It was a typical example of a little fist hitting you in the chest, with almost no force.
Ning Xiangrong's face flushed red as she whispered, "Why did you bite me?"
Hearing this, Liu Yuan looked at her feet. The red marks on her feet looked particularly cute, and he couldn't help but curl his lips: "It looks good, so I took a bite to taste it."
Ning Xiangrong reflexively stood up and tried to cover it up.
"You're just talking nonsense... It's so dirty, how can it have any taste!" Ning Xiangrong spat, the blush on her face had spread to the tips of her ears. The previous cold and elegant fairy look had completely softened into a strawberry-flavored glutinous rice cake.
Liu Yuan thought about it seriously and said, "It's true that there is no smell, but Rongrong smells good and isn't dirty."
Although many vulgar jokes about cultivators in previous lives flashed through his mind, when it came to his own turn, he naturally hoped to do it cleanly.
For someone at the Jindan stage, avoiding dust is a completely easy thing, and he has already completed marrow cleansing and fasting. His skin naturally emits a faint fragrance, and it is no exaggeration to say that his whole body is fragrant.
Ning Xiangrong felt much calmer after hearing this, and hummed softly: "Slippery tongue..."
Liu Yuan put down the tablecloth, sat on the stool, poured himself a cup of tea to calm himself, smiled and said nothing.
Ning Xiangrong was confused at first, not knowing why he was laughing. Then she remembered that she first kissed him and then was fooled by him. The word "slippery tongue" seemed to have a different meaning.
Ning Xiangrong took another deep breath, puffed up her cheeks slightly, walked over and poured herself a cup of tea: "You only know how to bully me."
It was the first time that Liu Yuan saw her looking so cute and innocent. It was true that a beautiful woman would still look good even if she was given the cold shoulder.
He took Ning Xiangrong's hand and squeezed it, then asked softly, "Do you want to continue?"
If Gu Siyin hadn't knocked on the door, he would have really lost his virginity tonight, and he had already given her his first kiss since he was a solo artist. In his heart, Ning Xiangrong was already equated with his first love.
Although Gu Siyin is a good person, her age is really not suitable. Even if she can get married in this era, Liu Yuan still cannot accept it.
Even if he traveled through time, he could not abandon the three views he had maintained since he knew the world.
Moreover, the so-called Yuan Yin theory is not nonsense. Preserving Yuan Yin is of great benefit to cultivation. At least until she kills the red dragon, it will not affect her cultivation.
According to the normal speed of cultivation, it would take about two to three years, which is almost the same age Liu Yuan expected.
Ning Xiangrong slapped his hand and said angrily, "I'm going to release the snake now. You found this excuse. If you don't do anything, the villa will not be peaceful tonight."
Liu Yuan withdrew his hand embarrassedly. This could be said to be his own fault.
How strong must a snake be to bite even an immortal cultivator? There are only mortals in the villa, so I'm afraid there will be a big fight.
Liu Yuan's disappointment was beyond words. Ning Xiangrong couldn't bear it. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "Please change my clothes for going out. My feet hurt because you bit them..."
The shallow marks on her feet had healed long ago, so there was no way it would hurt. Besides, Liu Yuan didn't bite her at all.
What she said was tantamount to an invitation.
Liu Yuan swallowed the tea in his mouth stupidly, repeatedly telling himself that impulse is the devil.
"Just listen to what I say..."
I would rather let my voice be as quiet as a mosquito, and it will become lighter and lighter.
But in fact, it is impossible for such a thing as obedience to happen. If Liu Yuan did not have a high level of cultivation and a copy of Yuxu Taoist Canon to support him, the previous attempted murder would have happened directly.
Even so, it took about two quarters of an hour for Ning Xiangrong to get dressed and go out and for Liu Yuan to clean up the mess.
What happened during that time is unknown.
Liu Yuan went back to his room to practice. The Yuxu Taoist Canon in his mind emitted a faint golden light. He also picked out a calligraphy piece with the word "quiet" for visualization, which had a great effect in calming his mind.
He has discovered that the experience scrolls Xie Qian gave him have far more effects than just accelerating his training. They also provide various buffs. However, they are only for auxiliary purposes and are of no use in combat.
Maybe there was, but he just didn't ask for it.
Liu Yuan was wondering whether he should go to Xie's house again to take advantage of them.
The next day, Liu Yuan opened his eyes and heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, it was Ning Xiangrong.
"Good morning, Rongrong." Liu Yuan said with a smile.
When Ning Xiangrong saw him, her face turned pale red. She reached out and held his hand, saying, "It's still early! The sun is already high in the sky! Let's go, go to the hall and say goodbye to Master Gu, and come with me back to Shuiyuewu."
When they arrived at the hall, Gu Feidao and Gu Siyin were both there, with the butler He Ren standing next to them as usual, and Ma Shu and Xue Wei sitting below them.
As soon as the two came in, He Ren reported that there was a poisonous snake in the villa last night.
Liu Yuan paused without changing his expression. Ning Xiangrong pinched him secretly.
Liu Yuan stepped forward to pay his respects. When he passed by Ma Shu, the undercover agent of the evil cult secretly showed a piece of paper in his hand.
He took a look and saw it written.
"The day after tomorrow at 4 ., bring Xue Wei to see me by the Moonlight Pond in Shuiyuewu."
Chapter 44: A Thousand Twists and Turns, Unswerving Until Death
Obviously, this was Ma Shu's superior, the spy from the Demon Cult who was undercover in the upper echelons of Shuiyuewu, sending a one-way message to Ma Shu.
According to the original plan, he only needed to follow and cooperate with Xue Wei, or secretly help Xue Wei kill this man, and the matter would be temporarily over.
By then, there will be time to take out the Xuanwu secret treasure and let Chiyu Villa find a new backer who will not covet the secret treasure. It will not be a difficult task for Liu Yuan.
But now Liu Yuan felt a little scared.
Because the high-ranking figure of the demon cult that got involved in the legend was Vihara.
Vihara... Oh my god, it’s exciting just thinking about it. No, it’s terrifying.
He had just come face to face with Vihara not long ago, and after a thrilling and extreme operation, he successfully deceived the other party. Now it seems he has to do it again.
Ha, ha ha ha...there's no problem at all!
Liu Yuan was full of confidence. Since he had succeeded once, he would definitely succeed a second time!
This time, he changed his identity again!
However, there is another possibility, that is, Vihara came here just for the Eight-Armed Demon, not for the matters of Shuiyuewu and Chiyu Villa.
The matter of Xuanwu's secret treasure is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. For the Demon Cult, it may just be a part of their daily sabotage and resource grabbing. Compared with Vihara's identity, it is really hard to match.
But it is always better to be fully prepared, so that you can just change your face when the time comes.
Anyway...there is absolutely no way that Vihara came here to find him.
No need to worry at all.
Liu Yuan said goodbye to everyone at Chiyu Villa in the hall. His gaze with Gu Siyin did not last long, but he could see the deep affection in the girl's eyes.
Liu Yuan, Ning Xiangrong and Ma Shu left Chiyu Villa together. Ma Shu was very tactful and said that the mount he rented when he came here was a bit expensive for him based on the hour, so he had to go back as soon as possible.
"Then I'll be leaving first. Senior Sister Ning, Senior Liu, you guys take your time."
Ma Shu's harmless and pleasing round face revealed a very honest smile. He stretched out his hand to call over a winged horse, a low-level mount commonly known as a Pegasus.
Although this Pegasus has wings, it cannot fly. The wings can only be used to accelerate and fly higher when jumping over obstacles, or glide at a low altitude for a few seconds, but it can run very fast.
It is also the most commonly used mount for novices in the game.
Liu Yuan watched his receding figure and sighed in his heart that he was indeed an undercover agent of the Demon Cult, and his ability to judge the situation by the situation was extraordinary.
All I can say is that there are top talents in every profession.
Ning Xiangrong took out his sword and said softly, "I will take you to fly the sword together. Your cultivation has not yet recovered. Just stand behind me and hug my waist."
Liu Yuan felt that his decision to hide his cultivation and recover was absolutely the right one, otherwise he would never have been able to take advantage of her so naturally.
...Or, you have to be more shameless.
Although Ning Xiangrong was bold in private, she was thin-skinned in public. In broad daylight, she let a man put his arms around her waist. Such an intimate act made her ears red the whole time.
Liu Yuan was looking at her from behind. Her pink, almost translucent earlobe was so tender that he almost wanted to take a bite if he hadn't been concerned that the female driver might get nervous and cause a "disaster".
By the way, is it possible to do a...flying sword play next time?
Liu Yuan was just daydreaming when he suddenly heard Ning Xiangrong's voice in the wind beside his ears: "Did you teach the little girl from the Gu family how to cultivate immortality? I sense spiritual energy in her."
Liu Yuan nodded, rested his chin on the side of her neck, and said, "Yes, I asked her about her wishes and told her that if she became an immortal, she would have many regrets, many things that are beyond human reach, many, many things."
Ning Xiangrong turned her head and looked at him: "What did she say?"
Liu Yuan's eyes softened and he said, "A thousand twists and turns, until death."
Ning Xiangrong hummed, and was silent for a while, then said, "She is a good girl, she doesn't have any worries. I can see that she was scared when she came to ask me about you yesterday. She suddenly recognized you and knew that I knew you three years ago, but she didn't even know who you were..."
She paused and sighed, "I don't know who you are either."
Liu Yuan opened his mouth to speak, but Ning Xiangrong didn't seem to want to hear his answer and continued, "She is worried that if there is one me, there will be a second and a third one. She is just an insignificant mortal girl who loves Liu Junxuan, and others are better than her. By then, you will fall in love with someone else and don't want her."
"So she's eager to know about you so that she can feel more at ease."
Ning Xiangrong finished speaking, stretched out her slender and soft hand to hold Liu Yuan's hand on her waist, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "She doesn't know that I am actually as scared as she is, but one day, I will wait for you to say it yourself."
Liu Yuan was speechless. Should he say that he was a time traveler? Or that he had more than a dozen wives, all of whom were as fond of each other as you are?
…No matter how you think about it, it’s all death.
For now, let’s keep it a secret.
But it’s hard to say how long he can keep the secret, as these characters are not there passively waiting for him to go.
"Well, let's take it one step at a time. Things will work out when we get to the bridge."
Liu Yuan was thinking this in his mind, and in the blink of an eye he had arrived at the territory of Shuiyuewu.
Looking at the world from above is actually similar to the small map in the game.
The Shuiyuewu map during the day is not as beautiful as that at night, but the vast and misty Qianqing Lake is still very beautiful.
Shuiyuewu is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side.
In the game, it is also a place that people who like scenery often visit. The snow-white reeds on the shore are swaying in the wind, the lake is sparkling, and there are large flocks of various birds flying down, their wings flickering in the sun, which is very beautiful.
The pavilion-style buildings standing on the shore are also very exquisite and beautiful.
As soon as Ning Xiangrong arrived, the guards reported it, and then a large group of people came to welcome the young lady back to the sect.
Ning Xiangrong put away her flying sword early on, but her close relationship with Liu Yuan still attracted many people's attention.
Many of them are Shuiyuewu inner disciples who secretly admire Miss Ning.
"Senior Sister Ning, you are back. Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
A young man in a moon-white robe walked out of the crowd first and smiled at Ning Xiangrong.
Ning Xiangrong nodded indifferently: "Yeah."
The young man in white robe seemed to be used to such reactions. He turned his gaze and fell on Liu Yuan. He said with a fake smile, "This must be the fellow Daoist Liu Yuan who killed Senior Brother Yue. I am Zou Zishi, the inner disciple of Shuiyuewu. I am the chief disciple who has taken over. I am from the same sect as Senior Sister Ning and I am a disciple of the master of the wharf."
Chapter 45: It's not that I look down on you, but you are really a weakling
The first thought that came to Liu Yuan’s mind was, are all the chiefs of Shuiyuewu so fond of making trouble?
You know that I killed the chief whom you replaced, and you, the second-in-command, must be inferior to him, right? How dare you come up and be sarcastic to me?
Liu Yuan looked at Ning Xiangrong beside him, and then looked at Zou Zishi opposite him with a fiery look in his eyes.
It seems that there is only one explanation, this is another contestant who is blinded by lust.
Since ancient times, the land of pleasure has been the burial place of heroes, and this has been an eternally unsolved topic.
Besides, the person in front of him is not really a hero.
At most it's just a background board.
Liu Yuan had no impression of most of the characters in Shuiyuewu. After all, who would pay attention to the name above the head of an NPC standing on the roadside and speaking fixed lines all day long?
And Zou Zishi should be one of them.
He is far inferior to Yue Longzhang, the small BOSS in the Novice Village. At least Mr. Yue Longzhang had killed Liu several times when Liu was still a newbie.
Although Liu Yuan later fought back with double the force, it still left a deep impression.
Not to mention Yue Longzhang, this Zou Zishi did not even leave a deeper impression on Liu Yuan than the chickens in Chiyu Villa.
After all, when Liu Yuan first entered the game, his virginity was revealed when he was surrounded by chickens.
Its fighting power is not even as good as that of a chicken.
Shame on you.
