After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 93: In the Dead of Night

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at her eyes that seemed to be glowing, she was probably a furry fanatic.

Liu Yuan had a guess in his heart, but since the other party chose not to say anything, he could not just go up and ask if she was a plush-con or something.

Anyway, since the other party was hesitating, and it seemed that her eyes were still lingering on Chuichui, she would definitely come over. He just had to wait.

Liu Yuan had always been very accurate about the details of this kind of emotional change. Anyway, he definitely could not develop the favorability of this Fifth Junior Sister, or else it would be wasted.

Wait, that’s not right. His Ling Hua was virtuous and generous, and she was not jealous. Why did he subconsciously choose to avoid her?

Liu Yuan fell into deep thought, and even his movements of tidying the bed paused.

After thinking about it, perhaps he was a little traumatized by the wave of damage output from Pihuan Luo.

Other than the fact that the reason for his transmigration was suspected to be a sudden death, his encounter with Pihuan Luo was the closest he had been to death in his life. The knife had already been stabbed into his heart, and the pain was so real that he almost thought that he was going to be one of the fastest transmigrators to die.

Speaking of the blade, it was still in his heart. He suddenly felt a little cold.

Liu Yuan paused for a moment and let out a long sigh. He instructed Gu Chang to continue his cultivation and strive to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within a month. This child was really talented. He was indeed the Final Boss in the future. With his talent alone, the kid had almost caught up to Liu Yuan, who had used the double exp scroll and cheated.

He also gave Chuichui a place to sleep.

Although Chuichui had always been unrepentant and had tried to resist many times, this guy had transformed into a cat and could not refuse to act cute and coquettish.

Speaking of which, he did not know if Ling Yu would return to the Jade Mirage Sect after attending the event. If she did, it would be convenient for him…

It was already close to evening, and from the window on the second floor of the inn, one could see that the streets outside were still bustling with activity.

Liu Yuan looked at the dark silhouette of the City of Ten Thousand Swords under the cover of the setting sun, sighing at the scenery that was a hundred times more spectacular than the game. He hated that he did not bring his phone with him when he transmigrated. Otherwise, it would be so much better to take a picture.

Then, Liu Yuan remembered that he still had a photostone. In the game, it was the System’s built-in internal video shooting and recording function. He took it out and cast a spell while thinking that since there was a way to record, there seemed to be other functions that could be used.

The few people behind him began to chat idly, and the main content was still about the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event.

Lu Yu looked out of the window and sighed, “There are a lot more people coming to the conference this time…”

“You’ve participated in the previous one?” Yan Guanlin raised his eyebrows. “The Tideviewing and Sword-listening event only happens once every ten years. Since you’ve participated in the event, you should be no more than 20 years old. You’ve come to the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event when you were 7 or 8 years old?”

Lu Yu touched his bald head, “I came here with my Senior Brothers and Sisters, can’t I? It’s just to broaden my knowledge. There’s no requirement, and I didn’t say that I’m here to participate.”

Yan Guanlin said, “…Of course you can. But please make it clear next time.”

He gritted his teeth.

“Oh.” Lu Yu nodded in confusion.

Liu Yuan wanted to laugh. Yan Guanlin was more suitable to be called a troll than Cui Ting, and it was the kind of troll that gave off a sense of superiority. Most importantly, he had been rebuked twice so far.

“It’s because the Sword Pavilion Master’s direct disciple has made a move. In other words, the winner of this Singing Sword Competition will have a chance to get the new sword he made.” Mu Ronglian suddenly said.

His voice was also neutral, and he spoke at a slow and soothing pace, giving people a feeling of gentleness.

That was true. The final reward of this instance dungeon was a purple-quality longsword. In the previous version, this level of reward was enough to make players go crazy.

At that time, it had set off a storm.

If this was the case for players, it was even more so for NPCs.

“Sigh, I heard that many disciples from the big sects will be coming this time. Even Core Formation cultivators like Daoist Ling Yu will be participating. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get into the top 20.” Lu Yu frowned.

“Ruan Yishan of the Solitary Cloud Peak and Cen Xi of the Guiyuan Sect,” Ling Yu said. “So far, only these two are at the Core Formation stage. It’s not difficult for you to get into the top 20.”

Her opponent was not anyone present, so although her tone was condescending, she did have the strength to give guidance, so the few of them tacitly accepted it.

“Top 20 is nothing,” Yan Guanlin snorted. “If I don’t get into the top 5, I’ll have come here for nothing!”

“I heard that the judges this time are Cui Ting from the Heart Sword Sect and the Green Lotus Swordsman from the Taiqing Pavilion?” Wei Feiyan frowned.

Liu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.

“Master Cui seems to have given a clear answer that he will come, but the Green Lotus Swordsman hasn’t agreed yet, has she?”

“She didn’t, but I heard that after the battle between Green Lotus Swordsman and Cui Ting. She’s returned to the City of Ten Thousand Swords to find someone.”

“Speaking of which, why did the Green Lotus Swordsman travel so far to the southeast with such an aggressive attitude?”

“Who knows… But I heard that it was because of a person.” Lu Yu said mysteriously and lowered his voice. “And it’s a man.”

He did not expect this bushy-browed, big-eyed man to be so gossipy.

“Really?” Yan Guanlin was skeptical. “Aren’t the Green Lotus swordsmen of the Taiqing Pavilion supposed to be lonely and selfish? You over there, aren’t you from an aristocratic family? Is it true that you’re well connected?”

Mu Ronglian hesitated for a moment and said, “As far as I know, it’s indeed because of a man. But this is, after all, her private matter. It’s better not to rashly comment.”

Wei Feiyan was unsmiling and said indifferently, “It’s none of my business, so there’s no point in saying more. Let’s focus on the Singing Sword meet.”

The Mythical Flame Sect was once an evil sect and was called the Mythical Flame Cult.

Later on, they turned to the Righteous and Orthodox Path. At first, the sect’s purpose was to kill couples, thinking that all love in the world was a sin. The people in the sect wore black robes and held sickles. On fixed days, they would kill couples as a sacrifice to heaven.

Although they were later purified by the Orthodox Dao and became Orthodox, they still retained the tradition of being hostile to love.

Among the players, there was a guild named ‘FFF group Shangyang branch’ that only recruited players from the Mythical Flame Sect. Then, they used fire-type spells to punish the player couples. Later, there was a large-scale conflict and scolding battle with the players who liked to attack. The reason was also related to Liu Yuan… He was showing off his cards too much.

The mastermind, Liu Yuan, silently retracted his gaze.

He did not expect the rumors to spread to this extent. Fortunately, there was no mention of the man’s name. Otherwise, he probably would not be able to use his identity in the future.

Liu Yuan did not participate in the conversation. He was considering whether he should go and look for Duan Lanruo.

Ye Cike had an appointment with the City Lord’s Mansion this time, so she must still be there. If he went, it would be risky, but if he did not go, it would not be safe for him to do whatever he wanted. There was also Shen Sifan, who was watching him like a tiger watching its prey. If he went, he could still have Duan Lanruo’s protection.

Just like that, he waited until midnight. Liu Yuan, who was in deep thought on the bed, was about to get up and go see Hu Jiuniang when he suddenly noticed that Chuichui had returned to her human form.

The demon dragon in human form sneered and sat on Liu Yuan. The red-haired lady laughed arrogantly. “Lowly mount, I’ve finally gotten a chance! Right now, your cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. You must have eaten those human pills before. Hmph, I’ve already seen through you!”

What was this cat trying to do?

Also, what did ‘mount’ mean?

Liu Yuan silently equipped all his cards, then reached out and grabbed the female demon dragon body’s slender but flexible waist.

“You’re dead today, hahahaha… Eh?”

The evil dragon lowered her head and saw Liu Yuan’s helpless smile. She suddenly felt the world spinning around her. Then, he felt a pain in the back of her head and fell on the bed. “Ow…”

Liu Yuan sat on top of her, grabbed her wrists with one hand, and pressed them on her head.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is the 23rd time… I’ve already forgotten the previous times. Tell me, who’s the mount?”

Liu Yuan was so angry that he laughed, but it was a fake smile.

The demon dragon was stunned. She stopped struggling and said with a guilty look, “Umm… Er…”

Her voice was getting softer and softer. She looked up at Liu Yuan and said dejectedly, “I’m… I’m the mount, alright?”
