Chapter 63 Doesn't Senior Brother Dislike Me? (5) White Clouds...

After parting ways with Xiao Yue on the mountain path, Fu Li walked alone under the moonlight on Xiaoyao Peak.

She glanced down at her right hand with a subtle expression, then murmured vaguely, "Why is Xiao Yue acting so strangely today? What is he trying to do..."

"[That's simple, he's figured you out.]" came the system's calm reply in my mind. Even though I had just been locked in the dark room and hadn't seen anything, I could probably guess what had happened.

He even sarcastically remarked: "I bet he's your first blood in this world."

Fu Li, who originally wanted to have a friendly discussion: ......

Does this mean I'm destined to be exposed sooner or later?!

"By the way, Xiao Yue just mentioned that she'll be going down the mountain for training soon. Is this part in the story? How should I handle this? Should I lure Chongjing Pavilion to a secluded place and stab them in the back, or should I notify the demonic cultivator to expose his weakness?"

System: 【...What kind of deep-seated grudge is this?】

However, it's not impossible to understand Fu Li's deep-seated hatred for the male lead.

Fu Li was living a comfortable life on Dragon Gate Mountain thanks to her naturally alluring figure and irresistible charm. However, the arrival of Chongjing Pavilion brought her good days to an end; Chongjing Pavilion was practically Fu Li's nemesis. Therefore, it's perfectly normal for her to dislike him.

He reassured her, "Alright, alright, the training Xiao Yue mentioned is just a regular one. Chongjing Pavilion won't be going with you. Just relax and go out and have some fun for a couple of days. Be good."

However, what the system calls "ordinary" may not actually be ordinary.

A few days later, Fu Li indeed received a training mission. The sect sent him and several inner disciples down the mountain to Golden Feather Town to help the villagers there deal with a demonized monster, with a deadline of half a month to return.

As Fu Li sat on the stone bench, examining the contents of the quest notice, a clear, youthful voice came from outside the door: "Ah Li, Ah Li, did you receive the notice?!"

Looking up, Xiao Yue tilted his head back, his handsome face radiant in the sunlight.

Fu Li stood up, her moon-white robes trailing behind her, her smile calm and gentle: "Yes, Fourth Senior Brother. I've read the mission notice."

Xiao Yue walked in, casually put her arm around the boy's shoulder, and smiled, "Ah Li, let me tell you, this training trip is in Golden Feather Town, which is more than 200 miles away from Dragon's Gate Mountain. We can take a flying boat there. We'll also pass through a hot spring village on the way, and we can soak in the hot springs on the way back! Aren't you excited?!"

When he asked "Are you looking forward to it?", his gaze towards Fu Li became noticeably subtle, as if he were recalling their experience in the spiritual spring in the inner courtyard of the sect leader not long ago.

Fu Li quickly changed the subject: "Are Second Senior Brother and the others going too?"

Xiao Yue said, "Yes, all of us except for Senior Brother will go."

Upon hearing this, the boy couldn't help but show a curious expression: "Why don't you come along, Senior Brother?"

Xiao Yue shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe the elders think that since Chongjing Pavilion already has Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be better for us Golden Core disciples to train on our own."

Seeing his playful smile and the meaningful look in his eyes, Fu Li couldn't help but guess that the other party had once again used his status as the son of the sect leader to do something. But not having to stay with Chongjing Pavilion made him feel relieved.

The next day, the flying boat was ready. The four members of Xiaoyao Peak, along with eight or nine inner disciples from other peaks, boarded the flying boat.

Aside from them, most of the other disciples were Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stage cultivators. Although He Fuli and the others were not much older than him, they were not as talented as them.

Before boarding the ship, Fu Li looked around and, as expected, did not see Chongjing Pavilion. She couldn't help but feel like a child who had escaped the control of adults.

With everything prepared, half an hour later, the flying boat slowly rose, propelled by thousands of spirit stones at the bottom of the boat, and flew towards the distant place beyond Dragon Gate Mountain.

Fu Li rarely accepted mission invitations; this was his first time riding a flying boat. White clouds rushed past the ship's hull, and through the clouds, he could occasionally glimpse towns on the ground, but they were only the size of ants.

The other disciples were all amazed by this sight.

Fu Li stood on the ship's side, propping her head up and watching the shadow the flying boat cast on the clouds.

Xiao Yue chatted excitedly beside him, recounting her experiences from all over the world.

At this moment, Third Senior Sister Zhu Mingying walked over, patted Fu Li on the shoulder, and smiled at him, saying, "Ah Li, is this your first time going to a place so far from Dragon's Gate Mountain? How are you feeling? Are you seasick?"

As expected of a female cultivator, she has a very delicate mind.

Fu Li looked up and replied calmly, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister."

Zhu Mingying smiled and said, "That's good. This is Ali's first time going down the mountain for training. But judging from the contents of the mission notice, it's not too difficult. Senior Brother is right, you're all so old, it's time for you to come out and train to accumulate some practical experience."

Upon hearing her mention Chongjing Pavilion, before Fu Li could even speak, Xiao Yue said with disgust, "What does this have to do with Senior Brother? He's just targeting Junior Brother, not wanting to see him on Xiaoyao Peak, so he wants him to go down the mountain more often. How can Senior Sister not even see that, and instead side with Senior Brother!"

As he spoke, he puffed out his cheeks like a pufferfish.

Zhu Mingying reached out and tapped his head, scolding, "How can you speak ill of your senior brother like that? Don't do it again."

Xiao Yue dodged behind Fu Li, dodging her senior sister's head-thumping blows, and shouted, "I didn't say anything wrong! Senior sister didn't see how senior brother treated junior brother the other day. Junior brother was so worn out that he lost weight!"

Just as things were getting chaotic here, Li Weiyan walked over.

"What are you doing? Stop it right now. Be careful not to fall off the airship." He reminded everyone with a gentle expression.

Hearing his words, the group stopped. Xiao Yue made a face, jumped next to Fu Li, and put some distance between herself and Zhu Mingying.

Li Weiyan was unaware of what had happened. Seeing Fu Li helplessly sandwiched between the two, he stepped forward with a smile and said to him, "Ah Li, will you be unaccustomed to riding a flying boat for the first time? But we will arrive at Golden Feather Town in just two days. Let's wait a bit."

Fu Li responded with a helpless, bitter smile.

For the next two days, Fu Li either stayed in the cabin meditating and cultivating or looked at the distant scenery with Xiao Yue on the deck, preparing for the trials to come.

Although he is playful and unreliable, he is never careless when it comes to important matters, especially those that may be life-threatening.

Before leaving, Fu Li prepared a large number of talismans and put them in his clothes. He also took several life-saving magic items that his senior brothers and sisters had given him. He filled his storage bag to the brim before setting off.

Although the system said that his thorough preparations were completely unnecessary, after the previous two worlds, Fu Li no longer dared to blindly trust the system's words.

After spending two days cultivating and having fun, the airship began its descent on the third day. The houses and towns beneath the clouds gradually became clearer, and the figures of pedestrians moving on the streets could be vaguely seen.

Finally, the airship landed on an open field next to a village with a road sign that read "Golden Feather Town".

Townspeople, having received the news, rushed to welcome the cultivators from Dragon's Gate Mountain. Upon seeing several agile and elegant young men appear, they knelt on the ground and cried out, "Immortal Lord! Immortal Lord, please help our Golden Feather Town!"

As the leader, Li Weiyan quickly stepped forward to help the townspeople up, his voice gentle yet steady: "Gentlemen, please rise. We are inner disciples of Longque Mountain. After receiving your letter for help, our sect sent us here to assist you in exorcising the demon. This is simply our duty as cultivators, there's no need for you to do this."

Upon hearing this, the group got up, their faces beaming with emotion, tears streaming down their faces.

The elderly man in plain clothes at the head of the group repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. I am the town mayor. We are extremely grateful that the immortal lords have traveled thousands of miles to help our Golden Feather Town. Please feel free to make any requests."

Li Weiyan said with a gentle smile, "In that case, please arrange a place for us to stay, Mayor, so that we can move into the village and help you with your troubles."

"Of course, everything has been prepared for the immortals long ago. This way is clear." The town mayor said, gesturing for the villagers who had come with him to make way, and respectfully led everyone into the village.

Fifteen minutes later, Fu Li and the others, along with Li Weiyan, listened to the difficulties the area was facing at the village chief's house.

"As you immortals have seen, our town is built right next to the mountains. In the past, whenever there was a disaster on the mountain, the villagers were always the first to be affected, and every time, people and livestock were lost, resulting in heavy losses. Until more than a hundred years ago, a golden-feathered eagle flew over from somewhere and helped the villagers resist the mountain floods. After that, it protected the village from dozens of disasters, large and small. In order to repay it, and also in the hope that it would continue to protect the village, a Golden Feather Shrine was built in the village to enshrine its golden statue, and the village was renamed Golden Feather Village."

"Later, the village gradually grew in number and became what it is today, Jinyu Town. The spirit of that golden-feathered eagle has always stayed in the Jinyu Shrine to protect us. But just half a year ago, a strange white mist began to spread in an area of ​​ten zhang in radius around the Jinyu Shrine. People who entered the mist never came out again."

"We are also unable to approach the Golden Feather Shrine, let alone know what is happening inside. We can only guess that the Golden Feather Eagle has suddenly become demonic and has begun to devour passersby for cultivation. Moreover, the white mist is still spreading, and it is now a hundred feet long and wide, swallowing more than a hundred passersby. If this continues, the entire town will probably be swallowed by the white mist sooner or later. We have no other choice but to seek help from the immortal cultivation sects. We hope that you immortal lords will lend a helping hand to save us."

After hearing this story, it's as if a good demon, who brought blessings to mortals, somehow fell into evil and harmed people.

Everyone in the room wore thoughtful expressions.

Li Weiyan's eyes were deep, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "I understand. But we can't draw any conclusions yet. Mayor, rest assured, we will definitely help you resolve this matter."

The old man was extremely grateful to the group.

Li Weiyan promised him that they would first explore the area around the white fog the next day.

The following is the text:

The completion system is bound to Fu Shen, a straight man from the 21st century. In order to bring to a number of novels that are half-written but have not yet been completed, Fu Shen is ordered to go to various novel worlds to fulfill the important task of advancing the plot.

However, why do these characters in the novel look at him with such strange eyes?

Whether it's a villain who successfully destroys the world, an emperor who has theoretically won the heart of a beauty, or a protagonist who has become a monk, they all eventually end up in a story of cunning and forced love.

Moreover, the object of her forced love was Fu Shen, a poor, ordinary working man.

Fu Shen: I'm a straight man! Don't come any closer!

Consumption Guide: 1v1, main character is the receiver, the seme has never had any real feelings or intimate contact with anyone. Warning: This content may contain explicit sexual content. Some worlds may contain seme-splitting elements. Lots of forced love; the protagonist will learn to enjoy it later but will still consider himself straight (lol).
