Chapter 81 81 Having a Robot Boyfriend is a Foregone Conclusion

The puppet tilted its head slightly, confusion in its inhuman eyes. "If Xiaoyuan wants me to ask, I'll ask."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

The sunlight in the room seemed to cool down suddenly, and Su Xiaoyuan's brain, which had been heated due to excessive excitement, also cooled down.

What did she want? Confess her feelings to the puppet? The puppet had no emotions, no idea what love was. He might obey her instructions and pretend to be in love with her, but would she be satisfied? She was only lusting after the puppet's body, but she wouldn't be satisfied with that. She had emotional needs, she wanted a lover to respond to her, she wanted him to love her.

She was being unreasonable, asking him to provide something that didn't exist. Wasn't the fact that he didn't have a mole on his chest the best proof?

Passing the inner sect exam meant she'd soon get the token. The next step would be to conquer Ling Yue Xian Zun. Wouldn't it be a psychological barrier to have a virtual romance with a puppet at this point? He'd even promised to help her conquer Ling Yue Xian Zun!

After all, she had parents and relatives who loved her in her original world, and here she also has good friends, teachers, and pets. Although her life was short, it was considered a complete one. Is this virtual love necessary?

"I just said it casually. I was a little excited after the exam and wanted to share. You don't have to worry about my Fu Tingyun."

She stretched lazily. "After that, I'll go all out to nourish Ling Yue Immortal Venerable. You'll help me, right?"

The puppet looked at her and said, "Okay."

"Don't cook tonight. I'll take a shower and take you out for dinner," Su Xiaoyuan said. "Call Kaishan and Sister Xiao and the others to celebrate passing the exam."

"Okay." The puppet went to prepare a bathtub and bath water for her.

Su Xiaoyuan waited for the water to cool down before taking a bath. The places that had been touched by the formation during the exam seemed to still be hot. The mole on her heart was still there. It was difficult to see any changes after observing it every day, but it was much deeper than the first time she discovered it.

Su Xiaoyuan rubbed it hard, as if that could remove the mole, but unfortunately it only made the surrounding skin red.

Fu Tingyun sat under the swing, listening to the sound of water in the house.

He said this on purpose just now. Three months have passed and he will be able to return to his original body soon. Su Xiaoyuan will also go to Taiyan. It is not a good thing to let her be too involved with this puppet body at this time.

But she really retreated so easily, and even mentioned another man, which made him feel a little uneasy - even if that man was himself.

Maybe it was because his soul was in the puppet body, but it was difficult for him to completely separate himself from it. Intellectually, he wanted to maintain the status quo, but deep down, he longed for her to be close to him and love him.

It was clearly one soul, but it was being pulled by two forces and was about to be torn in half.

Must go back as soon as possible.

He pinched his eyebrows and sent a message to the eldest sister.

…

At night, Su Xiaoyuan took her best friend and puppet on a wing boat to the Jiangzhen Tower in the city.

Since she was the host, she invited Xiao Wuxin and Mu Qing. Xiao Wuxin agreed immediately and asked shyly if he could bring Elder Bai along. Su Xiaoyuan was stunned but of course agreed immediately.

The two groups arrived at about the same time and met downstairs of Jiangzhen Building.

Elder Bai and Mu Qing sandwiched Xiao Wuxin on either side. The two men, each skilled in their own way, seemed harmonious at first glance. But a closer look revealed Xiao Wuxin's hopelessness, as if he had lost his parents. Mu Qing's eyes weren't eyes, and his nose wasn't a nose. Only Elder Bai remained unmoved, gracefully and smilingly greeting the two disciples: "Xiao Yuan, Mian Mian, congratulations."

Xiao Wuxin and Mu Qing also congratulated him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four of them and the puppet followed the waiter upstairs into the private room, which happened to be the place where they had fought.

Su Xiaoyuan looked at the brand new tables, chairs and screens with a sigh, as these were all paid for by her.

The waiter was new and didn't recognize the famous Elder Bai from the Yunyu Sect, nor had he seen Mu Qing and Xiao Wuxin, the two regular customers. He thought it was just an ordinary gathering of friends, so he only recommended dishes with high profits and commissions.

Su Xiaoyuan ordered a few dishes as he recommended, gave the menu to the guests and asked them to order first, then Kaishan and her puppet, and finally added a few more dishes for herself and asked for a few pots of aged wine.

Seeing the generosity of the guests, the waiter smiled broadly, "I'll take the liberty of treating you to one of our signature dim sum dishes, called 'Qi Ren Zhi Fu'."

Xiao Wuxin was drinking tea and couldn't help choking. His face turned red and he coughed and waved his hands.

"Why are you so careless..." Elder Bai said gently, patting her back to help her calm down and wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

Mu Qing sneered and said to the waiter in a sarcastic tone, "Thank you very much. This snack really touched my sister's heart."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of colorful high-grade spirit stones from the Qiankun bag at his waist and threw them on the shop assistant's empty tea tray: "This is a reward for you."

The shop assistant was so shocked that he didn't know what to do and his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Elder Bai said gently, "Since it's a reward for you, please accept it."

The shop assistant finally came to his senses and thanked him repeatedly.

Mu Qing's face turned pale with anger. He was about to say something vicious when Xiao Wuxin quickly stuffed a piece of candied fruit that went with the tea into his mouth: "Try this."

Mu Qing's expression brightened slightly. Elder Bai picked up the teacup and shook it, saying slowly, "Wuxin, this tea is very bitter."

Xiao Wuxin could only stuff one into his mouth, and Elder Bai licked her fingertips as if no one was around.

Mu Qing: "Sister, mine is even more bitter."

Xiao Wuxin just stuffed another piece into his mouth.

If Su Xiaoyuan had previously secretly envied Sister Xiao, the big woman with many women around her, she had completely given up on this thought now. Not everyone can enjoy the blessing of having many wives.

Fortunately, the food and drinks arrived quickly.

Elder Bai led the way in raising his glass to congratulate the two candidates. "Now that you've passed the inner sect exam, you'll be seeking a disciple. Xiao Yuan and Mian Mian, which master do you plan to follow?"

Su Xiaoyuan and her best friend looked at each other. Neither of them had ever thought about this issue.

Ruan Mianmian simply said, "I'll follow Xiao Yuanzi. Whichever island she goes to, I'll go there too."

Everyone looked at Su Xiaoyuan. She blushed and shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet... I didn't expect that I could actually pass the exam..."

Elder Bai arched his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to come to my Little Qingqiu?"

Su Xiaoyuan was a little surprised: "Is it okay?"

In fact, she had originally considered Huanhua Island or Yueliang Village. After all, since they were learning these things, it would not be easy for the female master to be embarrassed.

Elder Bai smiled and said, "It's well known that I'm the most lenient with my disciples, and I issue the most orders to leave."

When Su Xiaoyuan heard the three words "order to go out", her heart immediately beat wildly.

The order to go out must be signed by her master. Elder Qin is a worrying person and always reminds her of Ms. Su. He will not let her go out when she is so incompetent. Elder Ge Pu is more erratic and she is not sure whether she can get the order to go out from her.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with her best friend. She hurriedly pulled her best friend to return a glass of wine to Elder Bai: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Bai. We will consider it carefully."

"No rush," Elder Bai said with a smile, "If you want to come to Xiaoqingqiu, you can come find me anytime."

After a pause, he said, "After you enter the sect, you can go out of the Yunyu Sect to complete missions. Do Xiaoyuan and Mianmian have any goals?"

Of course, Su Xiaoyuan couldn't tell him that her target was Immortal Master Ling Yue, but if she really became Elder Bai's disciple, she would have to tell him about her trip to Tai Yan sooner or later, and it would not be good to hide it now.

Just as he was hesitating, Ruan Mianmian spoke quickly: "Xiao Yuanzi likes sword cultivation and wants to go to Taiyan."

Su Xiaoyuan lowered her head in embarrassment, her fingertips pinching the wine glass, feeling a little uneasy: "I also know that this is not very practical..."

Taiyan is the number one sect in the world. Those who can enter Taiyan are the best of the best, the elites among the elites. It is not something a fledgling Hehuan cultivator can reach. Moreover, the danger of sword cultivation is inherently high.

If the system hadn't issued the task, she would never have set her sights on Tai Yan's disciples.

Xiao Wuxin: "It's human nature, it's human nature, there's no need to be embarrassed, Xiaoyuan."

"But if you want to enter Taiyan, do you have to reach the foundation-building level?" Ruan Mianmian asked worriedly.

Several people were stunned.

Everyone present was at the Jindan stage or above, and they had never expected this problem to arise.

Mu Qing looked at Xiao Wuxin: "Sister, you are very knowledgeable, is that right?"

Xiao Wuxin: "As far as I know, Taiyan doesn't have any strict requirements for cultivation, but the first step to entry is to climb the ladder. If you don't build a foundation, you won't be able to withstand the strong winds around the ladder."

She looked at Su Xiaoyuan: "Sister Xiaoyuan, what is your current level of cultivation? How far away are you from building your foundation? If the distance is not too far, you can use some pills to replenish your cultivation."

Su Xiaoyuan blushed: "I'm only at the second stage of Qi Refining..."

There was a silence.

Xiao Wuxin glanced at his junior brother, and when he met his sharp eyes, he quickly comforted Su Xiaoyuan: "Sister is still young, and reaching the second stage of Qi Refining is not bad."

Su Xiaoyuan sighed secretly. It was all her fault that she had impulsively promised the puppet that day that she would no longer take the medicine given by the system, otherwise she would have already established her foundation by now.

"If we don't join the sect, how can we get in touch with people from Taiyan?" Ruan Mianmian scratched her head, helping her bestie think of a solution. "There are cities around Taiyan, right? Could we open a restaurant or a magic weapon shop?"

Su Xiaoyuan ignited a little hope, but it was quickly extinguished.

I heard that Immortal Master Ling Yue rarely leaves Dragon Ridge Peak. It's not easy to see him even if you enter the sect, let alone open a small shop at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing his junior brother's confident look, Xiao Wuxin couldn't help but send him a secret message: "Sister Xiaoyuan can't enter Taiyan, why aren't you anxious?"

Fu Tingyun: [I can let her in.]

Xiao Wuxin: [The sect's rules for recruiting new disciples were set a thousand years ago. Each peak has a limited number of spots. If you can't convince everyone, everyone will be watching you. Besides, even if Senior Sister wanted to help, she wouldn't let you break the rules.]

Fu Tingyun: [I've already made a deal with Senior Sister. We'll announce the news tomorrow. We'll be leaving for Taiyan within five days.]

Xiao Wuxin:???

This move is too fast.

He didn't say what the method was, but Xiao Wuxin knew his junior brother well, and he wouldn't say anything if he wasn't sure.

In that case, she doesn't need to worry about it.

The flower and fruit wine at Jiangzhenlou was smooth-drinking, but Su Xiaoyuan was worried about something, so she accidentally drank too much while toasting each other. The puppet man did not stop her for the first time. When the banquet was over, her feet were a little unstable and she had to ask the puppet man to support her.

Ruan Mianmian was also a little tipsy. Elder Bai was very perceptive and took the initiative to say, "Wu Xin and I are also going back to the sect, so we can just drop Mianmian off on the way. Is it okay for Xiao Yuan to go back on her own?"

Xiao Wuxin: "Sister Xiaoyuan's puppet is very capable and will take good care of her."

Mu Qing protested: "Sister, are you going back with him again tonight?"

Xiao Wuxin hurriedly comforted her: "Sister has something to do, I can't help it. I will come to see you in two days."

Elder Bai: "Wuxin, help Mianmian up to prevent her from falling."

Mu Qing stomped his foot, took out the wooden crane, rode on it and flew away without looking back.

Su Xiaoyuan only listened to the general idea and was carried onto the wing boat by the puppet in a daze.

When they got to the cabin, Fu Tingyun put her on the bed. Even after he put her down, his two arms were still hanging on the puppet and refused to let go.

Fu Tingyun's Adam's apple rolled: "Let go, I'll go get some water for you to bathe your feet."

"Wait," Su Xiaoyuan looked at him with drunken eyes and pulled his neck down, "Let me kiss you and I'll let you go..."

"The master is drunk." The puppet was in a stalemate with her, their breaths entangled, but he always kept a certain distance from her.

Su Xiaoyuan stared at his lips. They were right in front of her, but she couldn't touch them, which made her very annoyed.

"Don't you like me?" she asked.

Fu Tingyun swallowed and said, "Puppets are not real people and will not like people."

"I am your master," Su Xiaoyuan said, "I now order you to pretend to like me, pretend to be my lover. Now you are my man...my lover, you should let me kiss you."

"You said you would keep your distance from me and be a normal master and puppet."

"No, no, no," Su Xiaoyuan kicked her feet that were hanging over the edge of the bed, kicking both shoes off. "I want to be your perverted master now. Listen to me, let me kiss you, and I'll tell you a secret..."

She tilted her head back, and the slender lines of her neck fell into his eyes, and even the faintly beating meridians were clearly visible.

Fu Tingyun's breathing became tight and he kept swallowing.

Seeing that the puppet didn't move and was rubbing his ankle, Su Xiaoyuan rubbed the sock off his right foot. She lifted the hem of her robe and slowly rubbed his leg through his thin underwear: "Even though you are not well behaved, I still tell you, the person in the formation exam today looks exactly like you, and I got an A grade in the Jade Toe Love Challenge. Do you want to try it?"

Fu Tingyun knew he should stop it, but he was unable to move. His soul was completely torn in two...

After a while, Su Xiaoyuan exclaimed "Ah", then blushed and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, Fu Tingyun, it's normal for the first time. I am at the first level of Class A, and my formation is faster than yours..." Although he was not much slower than the formation.

Fu Tingyun couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed her ankles and flipped her over. He leaned down skillfully, and put his hot lips on the side of her neck. He licked and bit along the artery, and kissed along her neck to her small chin, and licked the corner of her mouth. But as soon as she came closer, he dodged.

The girl's skin was getting hotter and hotter, her pulse was getting faster and faster, and she was calling his name with the same rhythm, gradually taking on a vague and sticky crying tone, one cry after another. He was experienced and determined to take revenge, so he always managed to withdraw his hand in time.

Su Xiaoyuan felt as if she was climbing a ladder to heaven. Every time she was about to reach the top, she would miss a step and fall from the clouds, falling into the palm of the evil puppet, and being tortured by him.

She was tortured to the point of sobbing and crying, scratching his back, and angrily calling him a bad puppet, but her voice was still soft, which made him want to bully her even more.

She always brought out the worst in him, yet tolerated him without any principles, so he bullied her to his heart's content until he had had enough of her tears.

He looked at the girl who had finally sated herself and fallen into a deep sleep, and rubbed her tear-stained face with the back of his wet fingers, from the side of her neck to the mole on her heart, and then slowly licked the mark away.

Such a bad puppet, what do you like him to do?

…

Su Xiaoyuan slept until noon. When she woke up, she thought she was late. Then she remembered that she had passed the entrance exam and had no classes today, so she could sleep in.

She relaxed, and all the ridiculous things she had done last night under the influence of alcohol came to her mind.

I really wish I could forget it completely, but I wasn't drunk to the point of being unconscious, so how could I forget it?

She was just thinking about how to face the puppet when there was a knock on the cabin door - the puppet was very obedient and would remember to knock on the door every time he entered the room after being told once.

Did he remember the nonsense she said last night?

The escape is shameful but effective.

Su Xiaoyuan quickly crawled back into the quilt and closed her eyes.

The puppet opened the door and walked in.

Su Xiaoyuan quietly opened her eyes a little and observed through the gauze curtain.

His face was calm, his clothes were neat, and his style was conservative to the point of abstinence, like an awe-inspiring and inviolable flower on the mountaintop - if Su Xiaoyuan didn't remember how he looked last night with blushing eyes, frowning brows, closing his eyes, and breathing rapidly.

The puppet lifted the gauze curtain, leaned over, kissed her cheeks and mouth corners, and then bit her lips.

Su Xiaoyuan couldn't pretend anymore and opened her eyes: "Fu Tingyun, what are you doing?"

"Wake you up."

Su Xiaoyuan was speechless because of his blocking of her mouth. After a long while, she complained breathlessly, "How can you yell like that..."

"That's how a lover wakes you up," the puppet said calmly. "Last night, Xiao Yuan asked me to pretend to be your lover. Have you forgotten?"

Su Xiaoyuan covered her face and said, "I was drunk last night and just talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

Fu Tingyun knew that she would definitely deny it when she woke up, so he just looked at her straight: "Xiaoyuan said she liked me last night, but should I take it seriously? Xiaoyuan said she liked being..."

Before he could even utter that word, Su Xiaoyuan sat up and covered his mouth with hers: "Please, stop talking."

"Was what Xiao Yuan said last night true or false?" The puppet knelt beside the bed, looking up at her from below. "Puppets can't judge. I believe everything you say."

When Su Xiaoyuan met those innocent eyes, her heart snapped in two.

"It's true," she sighed, reaching out to touch his cheek, "I like you so much, but you don't have to pretend to like me."

"I don't know what liking is," the puppet said, "but I want to see Xiaoyuan, hear Xiaoyuan, smell Xiaoyuan, eat Xiaoyuan, touch Xiaoyuan..."

"Okay, okay, stop it..." Su Xiaoyuan blocked his mouth with hers.

At this point, having a robot boyfriend seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Then just lie down and enjoy it, she thought dazedly and with self-abandonment.

She rested on the wing boat for a day, doing nothing and feeling sticky. At dusk, when she was sitting in the arms of her puppet boyfriend, letting him feed her mouthful by mouthful, she received a message from Ruan Mianmian.

She quickly winked at the puppet, cleared her throat, and tried to sound normal: "What's wrong, Kaishan?"

"Little Yuanzi, little Yuanzi, have you heard? Something big has happened, Tai Yan is hiring people!"

Su Xiaoyuan: "Doesn't Taiyan recruit people every year?"

"This time is different. It's a bit like the Enke in the mortal world, have you heard of it? It's an extra bonus... But that's not the point. The point is, this time the recruits are from Dragon Ridge Peak!" Ruan Mianmian said excitedly, "Do you know where Dragon Ridge Peak is? It's your husband's peak! It's your husband's family!"

"Is he going to accept a disciple?" Su Xiaoyuan was a little surprised. She remembered that in the original work, Immortal Master Ling Yue never accepted a disciple until his death.

But anyway, it has nothing to do with her being in the Qi Refining Stage.

"Shouldn't Immortal Lingyue's requirements for accepting a disciple be higher?"

"That's not true," Ruan Mianmian said, "There are no requirements for cultivation this time, and it's not a ladder to climb, it's a multiplayer secret realm trial. As long as you pass the trial, you will be shortlisted, and then your husband will personally test you."

"But I'm only at the third level of Qi Refining, how can I get through?" Su Xiaoyuan turned to look at her puppet boyfriend, "By the way, can I bring a puppet with me?"

"That's definitely not possible. It's said that you can only bring your own magical weapon. If you don't have your own magical weapon, you can't bring a higher-level magical weapon. There are also restrictions on the number and level of elixirs."

"Ah, then I'm definitely out of luck." Su Xiaoyuan lay down instantly.

Ruan Mianmian tutted, "Little fool, don't you have me? I can go with you."

"That's right!" Su Xiaoyuan suddenly became excited.

She is so good at opening mountains, and with her there is still hope.

"By the way, when does the trial start? Will we make it in time?"

Ruan Mianmian: "Twenty days from now, we will become apprentices, move, and then get the order to go directly to Taiyan. The time should be about the same."

This was too much of a coincidence. If she hadn't known that the system couldn't influence Immortal Master Ling Yue, she would have thought it was arranged by the system.

Not long after, Fu Tingyun received a message from Xiao Wuxin: [I heard that Longji Peak is recruiting people. Is this the method you mentioned?]

Fu Tingyun: [Yes.]

Xiao Wuxin: […Junior brother, not everyone is as gifted as you. How can Xiaoyuan, who hasn't even established her foundation yet, pass the secret realm? This is your first time accepting disciples. Do you know how many will take the exam? I don't even know how many will reach the Spiritual Transformation stage or above…]

Fu Tingyun: [I am not the one accepting a disciple.]

Xiao Wuxin: [Huh? Wasn't the news released that Dragon Ridge Peak was recruiting disciples?]

Fu Tingyun: [I am not the only one on Dragon Ridge Peak.]

Xiao Wuxin: [After Master passed away, aren't you the only one left?]

Fu Tingyun: [Master is just in immortality, that doesn't mean he can't accept disciples.]

Xiao Wuxin: [……] Listen to yourself, is this what people say?

Fu Tingyun: [Master still has a few quotas left. This time, we'll select a few disciples with good character to be registered under Master's name.]

There were fewer people on Dragon Ridge Peak, and although he wanted to hide her and not let anyone see her, she was afraid of being lonely.

Xiao Wuxin couldn't help but mutter, "If Master knew about this, I wonder what he would think... I wonder how you convinced Senior Sister..."

Fu Tingyun felt no pressure to use his master's tablet. The eldest senior sister knew that his master had tampered with his soul, so she naturally didn't say much.

Xiao Wuxin: […Why bother with all this trouble? Why not accept Xiaoyuan as your disciple? It's not uncommon for masters and disciples to become Taoist couples.] This ancestor doesn't seem like someone who would care about what others think.

Fu Tingyun's mind flashed back to the balding middle-aged man she had seen in her dream. She was silent for a moment: "She is afraid of the teacher."

He wanted her to be pleased with him and willingly become his Taoist partner. She was already scared enough before she even met him in person, and he didn't want to put the additional pressure of his master's identity on her.

Senior brothers and junior sisters are just right.

Xiao Wuxin was helpless: "But do you have any foolproof method to help Xiaoyuan pass the trial? Are you planning to place her friend in a secret realm with her? But her friend only has Golden Cores, and with so many people applying this time, there might not be enough Golden Cores..."

Fu Tingyun: [Yes, I will go with her.]

Xiao Wuxin: [But it is forbidden to bring higher-level magical weapons into the trial, including puppets.]

Fu Tingyun: [Not a puppet, real body.]
