Xu Shulou dreams she’s a character in a bizarre storybook.
The male lead is Long Aotian, a man with a “Dragon Overlord” script: treasures fall into his lap, beauties vie for his heart.
...
Bullying men and women one two one
In a small secret realm.
This famous "safe spot" naturally attracted the covetousness of others.
One day, a man and a woman were standing far away on the hillside, looking at the small building.
"I'm afraid there are less than a hundred people left in this small secret realm. It's really hard to give up now," the male cultivator looked down at his injured arm, "If we can seize this place, we might be able to hold on to the end."
The female cultivator also nodded and said, "I heard privately that there is actually a reward for the first place this time. With the generosity of Xuan Cang Academy, the reward must be extraordinary."
The male cultivator looked at Xu Shulou who was rocking in the rocking chair at the door and said, "He doesn't look like a fierce person."
The female cultivator looked at him and said, "How can a cultivator's strength be judged solely by appearance?"
"Junior sister is right," the male cultivator nodded, "To be on the safe side, let's put down the drum first."
The female cultivator nodded and threw out a drum. The drum surface continued to grow in the air, and when it landed in front of the small building, it had grown to a person's height. The female cultivator also flew out and landed gracefully on the drum surface.
Xu Shulou looked at this inexplicable scene and slowly poured himself a glass of wine.
The female nun standing on the drum raised her sleeves and started dancing in front of her, her toes tapping on the drum, and a rhythmic drum beat sounded.
The male cultivator on the hillside also held a flute at this time, and the soul-stirring sound of the flute accompanies the sound of drums.
This is exactly their skill. The sound of the drums and the flute can disturb the enemy's mind. However, it is not very useful in actual combat, because when the fight really starts, she will hardly have the opportunity to perform such a dance. In order to seize the initiative, she planned to dance first while Xu Shulou was still not able to react.
Seeing that Xu Shulou did not stand up to interrupt, but instead held his chin to admire, they were both delighted.
After the female cultivator finished her dance, she looked at Xu Shulou expectantly.
Xu Shulou clapped his hands in support, "Good!"
“…”
Seeing that the female cultivator was still staring at him, Xu Shulou didn't understand why and thought that she was waiting for compliments, so he praised her: "The silk skirt is flowing, the jade sleeves are fluttering in the wind, and you are like a fairy and a spirit. The girl dances beautifully."
“…”
Still not satisfied? Xu Shulou was helpless. Just as he was about to rack his brains to come up with some more exaggerated praise, the expression of the female cultivator in front of him had changed from expectation to confusion: "Are you, are you okay?"
"What can I do for you?" Xu Shulou smiled and asked very skillfully, "Would you like to stay overnight or stay in a hotel?"
"Hit, hit the target." The two men exchanged glances, intending to observe for a moment before making any further moves.
Xu Shulou pointed to a few small tables on the first floor and said, "Please sit down."
They said they were having a quick snack, but they only wanted wine and no food. They gathered together and whispered, "Our sound attack couldn't even be blocked by the soundproofing shield. How come she didn't react?"
The male cultivator groaned: "Unless she is much higher than our realm..."
"How much higher?"
"have no idea."
The female cultivator rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll go and test it out."
She looked at the lotus flowers in the pot at the door that were in full bloom, and took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Xu Shulou: "Girl, your flowers are blooming so beautifully, how do you grow them?"
Xu Shulou smiled and said, "It's not raised, it's captured."
"…Where did you catch it?"
"Go west from here and there is a beautiful lake."
The female cultivator suddenly reacted and pointed her sword at the lotus pot: "I almost ate two hundred flower demons!"
Xu Shulou was slightly startled, then turned to ask Lotus: "Do you eat people?"
The lotus trembled slightly, as if crying out for justice.
When Xu Shulou turned around, he found that the female cultivator in front of him was also staring at him with eyes wide open. There was fear in her eyes, and her body was shaking like the lotus.
Xu Shulou took a step back in silence. As time went by, the classmates who stayed in her small building seemed to be getting more and more strange. The two people in front of her first performed for her without any explanation, and then started to tremble after chatting for a few words...
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and both felt that the other was not normal.
The female cultivator trembled in her voice and politely asked to leave the small building. Xu Shulou sent them away tiredly, looked at their almost fleeing backs, and sat down on the rocking chair at the door again. After a few hours of leisure, a ragged man covered in blood suddenly rushed in: "Girl, my junior brother is in trouble, please help us!"
Xu Shulou put the scroll into the Qiankun bracelet, stood up and said, "Where is your junior brother? Lead the way."
Unexpectedly, she responded so readily that the man was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering: "Oh, okay."
After they left, about seven or eight figures jumped out, drove out the two guests who were eating noodles on the first floor, and occupied the small building.
The leading male cultivator looked around the small building with great pride, picked a seat and sat down, crossing his legs on the table: "Hurry up and set up the trap, and wait for that woman to come back."
The monk next to him gave a thumbs up and patted his horse, saying, "Brother, you are the one who has the solution."
The man smiled and pulled the gauze curtain in the small building: "She really knows how to enjoy herself. We are fighting monsters desperately outside, how can we let her occupy the only safe place so easily?"
"That's right," someone nearby echoed, "Besides, she's already occupied it for so many days, it's time for us to take our turn."
"Don't forget to place a trap on the door," said the monk, who was standing with his feet crossed. "When she comes back, if she knows what's best for her, it'll be fine. But if she doesn't, she'll be in trouble."
Xu Shulou was away for quite a while this time, so the group quickly set up the trap. The waiting time was a bit boring, so someone picked up a stone and threw it at the shrinking giant birds outside the window: "These things are huge, but they are very timid."
After the giant bird was hit, it just slowly raised its head to look at him. The group of people then started to play around, throwing stones at it, trying to see who could hit the bird's head more.
The giant bird's eyes patrolled behind them for a while, and after making sure that it did not see Xu Shulou's face, it suddenly flapped its wings and swooped over.
When it flapped its wings, it was no longer as timid as before. Its wings were wrapped in strong wind and its sharp claws were exposed towards them.
———
Xu Shulou soon noticed that there was something wrong with the man. After he left the inn, he stopped talking and flew in one direction.
"You flew for so long to ask me to save you?" she asked, "Didn't you meet other classmates along the way?"
“They won’t help.”
"Really?" Xu Shulou asked calmly, as if he didn't notice anything wrong.
The man just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly couldn't fly anymore. He then noticed that Xu Shulou had circled behind him at some point and grabbed him by the collar. A few flashes of sword light flashed by, and the man was horrified to find that he was only left with shorts and a collar - the collar was left by Xu Shulou to make it easier to carry people.
Xu Shulou looked him over calmly: "There is no external injury, where did the blood on your clothes come from?"
“……”The man felt like he was going to be strangled by his collar and struggled desperately.
"You'd better have a fellow apprentice who is in trouble," Xu Shulou threatened, "If not, I will make you get into trouble."
The man fumbled to take out a ball-shaped magic weapon from his Qiankun Ring, threw it to the ground, and took advantage of the smoke and dust in front of him to tear off his collar and escape. He didn't dare to look back, and flew several miles half-naked before stopping to catch his breath: "Damn it, I wasted another magic weapon."
"It's really a waste," a smiling female voice sounded from behind, "Look, the magic weapon was used up, but you didn't escape."
"!"
A moment later, outside the small secret realm, a teacher looked at the male cultivator who was just thrown out in shorts and was very confused: "Why don't I remember there being monsters that like to strip people's clothes in the small secret realm?"
The male cultivator hugged his chest and huddled up in a ball without saying a word. Wasn’t the guy who threw him out a monster?
In the secret realm, Xu Shulou saw him off and prepared to return. On the way, she met a very cute deer-like monster, which stared at her with its big round eyes and spit light waves to attack her. As a punishment for them, Xu Shulou stopped and touched them one by one.
Passing by the lake, she negotiated with the water plant monster inside and asked it to help pick some fresh lotus roots that had not yet become spirits to feed the giant bird. She didn't know their diet yet, but since they were willing to eat white radishes, they would probably eat lotus roots that looked like white radishes as well.
She guessed that she would probably face some kind of conspiracy when she returned, but she didn't expect that when she returned to this small plain, she would face a small building that had been razed to the ground.
Seeing her come back, the giant bird circling above quietly retreated again.
"...It's quite a hassle." Xu Shulou sighed and stepped onto the ruins. Suddenly, he heard a crisp sound under his feet, followed by a scream.
Xu Shulou quickly leaned over and pulled a man out from under the broken wall. He looked closely at his left leg which was not in the normal direction and asked, "Is your leg broken?"
The man corrected weakly: "You just... stepped on it and broke it!"
"..." Following the faint breathing, Xu Shulou dug out seven or eight classmates from the ruins. He examined them one by one and saw that their waist badge numbers were connected to the male cultivator in shorts just now. They probably knew each other and signed up together. "Are you here to rob?"
"Why... don't those birds attack you?"
Xu Shulou smiled and dragged out a still intact recliner from the ruins: "Let's discuss compensation."
"It's not us who destroyed your building."
"I know," Xu Shulou was very reasonable, "but I can't ask those giant birds to compensate me, can I?"
"How are you going to compensate?"
"How about this? I heard that the Never-Sleeping City recently launched a portable cave that can shrink a courtyard and carry it with you. It can replace my small building," Xu Shulou suggested. "The cave is priced at 3,000 high-quality spirit stones. If you can collect the 3,000, I will release you and allow you to use magic weapons as collateral."
"What if it's not enough?" Several monks looked at each other, and became frightened.
Xu Shulou held the sword in one hand: "If it's not enough..."
When someone else came to stay overnight, they were surprised to find that the small building had been razed to the ground, and the rumored gentle and kind proprietress was leaning on a recliner, with a female cultivator behind her massaging her shoulders, and a male cultivator beside her dragging his limping leg but respectfully standing by the chair to serve her wine. Some people were cleaning up the ruins, some were cooking under her command with bruised faces, and would be scolded if they didn't do a good job, and some were beaten up by a lotus flower, crying, "How on earth should I change the pot?"
Xu Shulou thought she was very reasonable and allowed them to hand over all the spirit stones they had in order to pay off the remaining debt in this way. She didn't know that from then on she had a nickname among some students: "Bully of Men and Women One Two One".
