After Favorability Is Maxed

243 The Pure Little Junior Sister

As mentioned before, the main stream of the White Dragon River was called the Spirit Transformation River. In the game, it was the location where a wild boss named Spirit-Transformed Dragon Shadow would appear.

It was rumored that a true dragon once lived here. The dragon’s shadow fell into the river and transformed into a demon spirit–this was the brief background introduction.

But now, they had run into one.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Liu Yuan had already stood up and looked out of the cabin. As expected, the waves on the river were turbulent, but the snow-white waves were constantly rising and falling, and he couldn’t see what was causing trouble below.

Crack… Gush…

He steadied himself as the ship swayed. He could hear the sound of the ship hitting something hard, probably scales.

Although the Spirit-Trannsformed Dragon Shadow was only a projection of a true dragon, it had a physical form and even had flesh and blood. However, it was all condensed from spiritual power. If it was not preserved in a special way, it would not exist for long after death.

Therefore, after defeating this boss, the player would need to go to the Sky Treasure Pavilion and buy a lock box within 24 hours.

However, players usually would not do this–because the materials dropped by the Spirit-Transformed Dragon Shadow were precious, directly selling them to the Sky Treasure Pavilion could increase their affinity with dragon-type items. They would then be able to buy dragon-type items at a discount, so wasn’t it more reliable than spending a lot of money to create equipment?

However, this kind of thing was still a matter of benevolence and wisdom, each taking what they needed.

Having said that, this Spirit-Transformed Dragon Shadow was level 55, which was equivalent to the Fifth level of the Void Refinement stage. To the people present, it should not be that difficult.

Even without Ling Hua, who was also an expert at the Void Refinement stage. It would be a piece of cake for him to lead them to fight a level 55 boss. Why was this young girl so flustered?

Liu Yuan frowned and thought for a while. He looked to the side and found that the girl was so scared that tears were about to fall out. Her pretty little face was extremely pale and bloodless. She looked at the two beautiful women in front of her in fear and felt that she was afraid that she would be killed.

This young girl had almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. Her black and white eyes were distinct, and she had a delicate and lovely appearance. She looked very petite. After being pulled down, she held her head and shivered in the corner. Her eyes were full of mist, and she bit her lips pitifully like a little rabbit.

This pitiful gesture made Liu Yuan think of Gu Siyin. He thought of her bright eyes that were often shy and timid. He wondered how that little girl was doing after being away for two months… She had Ning Xiangrong taking care of her, so she should not be too bad.

Gu Siyin was the first person Liu Yuan met after he transmigrated. She was also his first conquered character. Hence, he always had a special feeling for Gu Siyin. It was similar to the feelings of a fledgling. Otherwise, he would not have exposed himself in the lobby of Chiyu Villa on a whim and encountered a life-and-death situation for the first time when he did not have the ability to protect himself.

He felt more pity for Gu Siyin and had once promised to marry her. However, because Shen Sifan had chased after him, he had run away in a hurry and delayed his marriage with her and Ning Xiangrong.

Ling Hua was probably right about everything, except for one thing. At the Chiyu Water Moon incident, only Ning Xiangrong had given her body to Liu Yuan, while Gu Siyin was still intact.

As Gu Siyin was only a mortal, Liu Yuan hoped that she could use her Origin Yin body to stimulate the Black Tortoise bloodline in her body to cultivate. This would increase the chances of her achieving the Great Dao.

During this period of time, Liu Yuan could see Gu Siyin’s attributes rising every time he looked at the illustrated handbook. She was already in the Foundation Establishment stage. It was clear that this innocent girl who had been pampered since young was also cultivating hard. Liu Yuan could almost imagine her clenching her little fists and her determined expression of ‘fighting for Brother Junxuan’.

Liu Yuan only realized later that he could monitor the status of the characters in the game in real-time through the illustrated handbook. This was much more convenient. If something happened, he could rush over to rescue them in time.

At this moment, because he thought of Gu Siyin, Liu Yuan’s gaze toward the young lady in the Daoist robe became gentler and he smiled.

At this moment, Ling Hua had returned to her cold Daoist appearance. She looked at the young girl who was crouching down while holding her head and said lightly, “If I remember correctly, your name is Ling Zhen.”

The girl in the Daoist robe raised her head and looked at her. With tears in her eyes, she said anxiously, “Y-y-yes… Sob, sob… Senior Sister… I-I won’t tell anyone…”

Xiahou Cenyi’s expression changed. She put away her slyness and pretended to be impatient. She snorted coldly and said, “This girl is crying so loudly, she must be trying to attract attention. Why don’t we just kill her?”

Liu Yuan could tell that she was scaring her on purpose and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Cough!” Ling Zhen was so frightened that she choked, even holding back a little of her tears. It was clear that she was scared out of her wits. She hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head with all her might.

The young girl’s heart was filled with regret.

Ling Zhen, Oh Ling Zhen, what are you gossiping about!? How could she gossip about such private matters? If a puny ordinary inner sect disciple like you were to find out about this, your fate is sealed, right?

It turned out that she was the pretty girl who was very concerned about the relationship between Jiang Feng and Ling Hua when they discussed the things they had seen in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb with the other young disciples on the other Starfall carriage ship.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. Now that she was attacked by the dragon shadow, she had to inform her Senior Sister. She immediately felt that this was a good time, so she volunteered to see if she could find any clues. She dd not expect that she would really find out a ‘treachery’ that would definitely shock the entire cultivation world.

It turned out that it was not just Eldest Senior Sister… Even Jiang Feng’s Senior Sister, the Grand Elder of the Sky Treasure Pavilion, had an unusual relationship with him. Moreover-the three of them seemed to get along very ‘harmoniously’.

The young girl’s heart thumped as she recalled the scene she had seen not long ago. She was young and spent most of her time on the mountain, so she was even more ignorant than Gu Siyin. She felt excited and refreshed.

Even though she was filled with shock and regret at this moment, Ling Zhen could not help but feel a trace of joy from having her Eight Trigrams satisfied. What followed was an even more intense curiosity.

Just what sort of character was this Jiang Feng, to be able to take in the cold and transcendent Eldest Senior Sister and the enigmatic Grand Elder at the same time? Furthermore, they all look so submissive.

She looked up and stole a glance, only to see that the tall young man in black was looking at her with a nostalgic gentleness in his eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head and sobbed again, but her face suddenly burned red and her heart inexplicably thumped like a little deer, causing her to panic. In an instant, her voice was like a mosquito’s buzz. “D-don’t… Eldest Senior Sister, I… I won’t say anything…”

As she spoke, she felt a sense of disappointment. With Eldest Senior Sister and Elder Xiahou present, who was he gazing gently to?

Ling Hua spoke again with an indifferent tone, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. This matter isn’t that serious. The dragon shadow has attacked and the situation is urgent. I don’t have time to deal with you, but I’m worried about you. There’s only one way to solve this–”

Ling Zhen’s heart was first palpitating with fear when he heard this, but when she heard that there was a way, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiahou revealed a mischievous smile and continued, “As long as you become an accomplice, the matter will be solved.”

Liu Yuan slowly turned his head, looking confused as if he had not woken up.
