After Favorability Is Maxed

158 An Indirect Kiss

Although the atmosphere was not good, Liu Yuan still forced himself to convince Zhiying to change her clothes first.

However, Zhiying was still staring at Zhizhi.

Zhizhi looked back innocently.

Liu Yuan touched his head and said, “This is Big Sister Ying. Come, call her Big Sister.”

Zhizhi nodded in confusion and said, “Change it to Qianqian.”

Liu Yuan, “…”

Zhiying was just staring at Zhizhi.

When can you change this bad habit of not speaking clearly?!

“Ahem, Zhizhi, be good. Come here and sit. You can play with Chuichui when she’s back.” Liu Yuan found a clean piece of land near the bonfire and placed Zhizhi beside him. He then sat down cross-legged to conserve his energy.

He had lost at least half a tube of blood. If he were to be injured again, he would probably die before he could get out.

Zhiying stared at Zhizhi and walked over to Liu Yuan. She hugged her knees and squatted down. Her gaze moved to his hand, then she leaned closer and lowered her head slightly.

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and reached out to touch the girl’s head.

Is this considered jealousy?

He understood a little. when Zhizhi was young, Zhiying did not have such a strong sense of danger because Zhizhi was too young. She was like a different creature, so she did not feel anything.

However, now that she had grown up, Zhizhi was an ‘equal’ to her in Zhiying’s eyes. She immediately felt that her position was threatened and had a big reaction.

“Zhiying, be good too. Take off your clothes first. Otherwise, it won’t be good if your condition worsens later.”

Liu Yuan coaxed Zhiying. The young girl’s nose was slightly red, and she looked cuter than usual. Finally, she nodded.

Zhiying took off her outer shirt, revealing a tight-fitting dark green under-apron. It outlined her curves, but it could not cover her flat, snow-white belly.

“…”

Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched. He quickly turned around and stared at the bonfire.

…

it seemed like Pihuan Luo was also wearing this color…

So, it’s still the mother-daughter type?

Liu Yuan’s eyes flickered, and his thoughts drifted somewhere.

Since Chuichui had already gone out to scout the way, he did not let Zhizhi go out as well. Zhizhi was the only one among them who could use spirit power, so any bit of spirit power must be cherished.

Chui Chui, that coward, would probably run away when he saw something wrong, so she was particularly suitable for scouting.

Liu Yuan tried to enter a meditative state, but he failed.

This seemed to be the type of dungeon specialized for physical classes. Chuichui was from the monster race, so she had a natural advantage in physical strength.

During the process of cultivation, spiritual power would also transform the body. For example, there would be a process of cleansing the marrow between the Qi Refinement stage and the Foundation Establishment stage. In fact, it would make the body cleaner and more suitable to accommodate spiritual power, and there would be a great improvement in strength and toughness.

After that, every time he advanced, his vitality would increase, which meant that his health bar would become thicker and thicker, and his defense would increase greatly. At the very least, a Core Formation stage cultivator was already an existence that ordinary people (including martial artists) could not break through.

This was also the impassable chasm between Immortal cultivators and mortals.

However, for spell cultivators and sword cultivators, the two attributes of physique and strength were still relatively weak.

However, if it weren’t for the chaotic situation at that time, Ye Cike’s trick of injuring herself would have appeared very pretentious at first glance. Even if she was weak, how weak could a Void Refinement cultivator be?

Speaking of which, when he threw the few people off the Singing Sword Platform, Ye Cike looked like she was about to cry, as if she thought that he was going to sacrifice himself heroically.

Now that he was trapped here and could not get out, he was like a missing person. He did not know how anxious those people would be.

Shen Sifan’s favorability bar had been locked when he had sent her down, which made him feel a little relieved when he was washed away by the tide.

As for Duan Lanruo’s words, he had sent a voice transmission saying that he was confident and had plans for Shen Sifan, so she should be more steady and send people to search for him. However, he should hide his true identity a little.

There was also Gu Chang. Liu Yuan had asked Duan Lanruo to be the middleman and let Ling Yu and the two Jade Mirage Sect disciples who were also in the Singing Sword contest be brought back to Jade Mirage Sect. Basically, there would not be any major problems.

He hoped that when they met again, he would already be an outstanding and positive Daoist disciple.

Although Liu Yuan was his master on the surface, his true master had always been Ding Luan. In the end, Liu Yuan was just a tool to impart knowledge.

Time was tight at the time, and he only had time to explain these things.

As for Ye Cike…

He could only hope that she would not cause too much of a commotion…

But no matter what, the identity of ‘Jiang Feng’ was definitely going to be well-known.

It was already shocking enough that he was ranked second on the Singing Sword Ranking, but then there was the sudden explosion of Asura field, and then he became a hero who saved an entire city.

It was a good thing to get rid of some negative influences.

Although he was still a little weak, he was now in the Core Formation stage and his cards in the System had increased his cultivation to the Void Refinement stage.

In fact, he did not need to worry about the rest of the conquered characters anymore. Basically, he needed to use guerilla tactics only for 5-star characters. For those below 5-star, he could just tackle them head-on. There was no need to panic.

Hmph, to be able to reach such a height after transmigrating for two months, most of the transmigrators probably could only dream about this. If it was not for the fact that I haven’t really gotten my own weapon yet, I’d even fight a 5-star for you.

Of course, he still needed to deal with a 5-star like Pihuan Luo for the time being.

Liu Yuan looked at the long sword in his hand. The fire-like patterns on the pitch-black sword dimmed, and the calm evil sword no longer had that imposing aura.

However, he could still feel how powerful and reliable the soft hand that had covered the back of his hand and guided him to make that strike was.

Although she had a bad personality and liked to treat people as toys, she was still the Grand Elder of the Sky Treasure Pavilion. When it was time to make a move, he would naturally have his dignity.

Previously, the sword spirit was still trapped in the body of the sword. When she came out to help him with the Jade Snow, she must have paid a great price.

After that slash, the sword spirit whispered in his ear that she would not be able to appear for a while. Originally, her remnant soul had almost been integrated, but now he had to start all over again.

Liu Yuan touched his ear. Xiahou Cenyi did not forget to take a bite before he left.

She was just like Pihuan Luo.

She even bit the same place.

Liu Yuan had a subtle feeling in his heart.

It felt as if the two of them had unknowingly achieved some kind of strange indirect kiss, which was very subtle.

Of course, Liu Yuan was very grateful for Xiahou’s help, but he could not help but worry. He couldn’t use his spiritual power to help Xiahou because of the map’s restriction, and he didn’t know when she would recover.

But then again, it turned out that she had been quietly integrating the sword spirit’s remnant soul during that period of time. He always felt that she had actually planned something in secret.

No wonder her tone was a little helpless and regretful.

Liu Yuan touched his long sword and felt a little panicked. He didn’t know what Xiahou would do after she came out of the sword if this hadn’t happened.

“…don’t think too much.”

The top priority was still to get out of here.

Now, he could not use anything on him. Fortunately, he still clutched the Evil Heart of Killing in his hands. otherwise, he wouldn’t even have a weapon now.

This type of restricted map and instance were the most disgusting and difficult to deal with in the game.

This was because ordinary players could not rely on stacking levels to cross the map. No matter how high your level was, you wouldn’t have mana and wouldn’t be able to cast any spells. Only players with high physical damage could play a role.

It was the same for the others. No matter what the restrictions were, they would be very troublesome.

It was not actually that difficult, but there were always some disgusting things that would pop up among the players.

For example, if a certain type of player was required for a certain instance dungeon, there would be some stupid players who would just over-promise and get free benefits by free-loading in the dungeon.

Then, they experienced what it felt like to be ridiculed by all the players of Shangyang, a popular online game.

It was terrifying.

It could also be considered a glorious time that old players could recall.

There’s an instance dungeon that has a mana value sealed buff. I think there’s only one that’s famous, and it’s on the predetermined route, the place where the White Dragon River passes.

Liu Yuan looked around. It could be said to be a cave, but it was also reasonable to say that it was a tunnel, especially the water leakage above, as if it was underground near a river.

Previously, Zhiying had said that she had brought her old father here from the bottom of the White Dragon River. In that case, the possibility that this place was underground was even greater.

“‘The Tomb of the Martial Emperor’ is a restricted level 50 to 60 instance dungeon located at the bottom of the cliff next to the White Dragon River. It’s located a little north of the middle of Central Plains. If it’s really this instance dungeon, then we’re back on the road we set, and we’ve saved a lot of time,” he said.

Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He had originally planned to go to the west of Central Plains first, bypass the Shu state here, and lie low in the Sword Pavilion. Then, he would turn back and go to the northeast of Central Plains to find Ling Luan at the Jade Mirage Sect.

The entire route was in the shape of a left-pointing curve. In the middle, the plan was to enter the Martial Emperor Tomb to obtain Fu Huan’s inheritance.

He still had to change the lady boss’s fate.

Originally, it would take them at least a few months to get there. but this time, the tide was so powerful and turbulent that its speed was several times faster than that of a thousand miles of river in a day. So it didn’t seem too outrageous to take them to the north of the central plains in a day and a half.

“It’s a pity that the Tianshu Geomancy Map that Lanruo gave me is also in the array in my sleeve. We can only wait for Chuichui to come back and ask to confirm it.”

As Liu Yuan was thinking, he suddenly felt two jabs behind him.

“Zhiying? What’s wrong…?”

He turned back and looked stiffly at the wet clothes and half of the white arm.

The girl’s nasal voice came from behind, “I’m done,”
