Chapter 90 The Genius Cultivator Used as Cannon Fodder (19) Although Rain City...

Although Rain City is called a city, it is not a large place. It is a rare town where cultivators and mortals live together.

This place was originally just an ordinary town for mortals. Hundreds of years ago, a small secret realm suddenly opened nearby, opening once every twenty or thirty years. Cultivators began to move around here, and the spiritual energy became much richer.

The secret realm in Rain City is not very dangerous, and the items are relatively common. It can only be entered by those below the Golden Core stage, but it is advantageous because it opens frequently.

It is considered one of the safer secret realms in the cultivation world, making it an excellent choice for newly graduated disciples to practice their skills, and it is very popular among various sects.

After figuring out the patterns of the small secret realm, the position of city lord of Rain City was taken over by several leading righteous cultivation sects in rotation. Because the safety level here was quite good, some rogue cultivators with no particular ambitions gradually settled here.

Lin You and Ye Zhen were visiting a town inhabited by cultivators for the first time. They looked around curiously, occasionally glancing at the roadside stalls to see if they recognized any of the random items displayed there.

Of course, as time travelers, the two sisters also wanted to try their luck at finding a bargain at a street stall.

Ye Xinglan and Ye Xinghan were not interested in these things and did not participate in the sisters' Taobao trip, only following behind at a distance.

Seeing that the two of them had bought a lot of trinkets and collected a bunch of local snacks, quickly filling a storage bag, Ye Xinglan was already planning how to go to the Second Elder's place and get them storage rings.

Logically speaking, in a place like Rain City where disciples of great families often come, both cultivators and mortals should keep a low profile. However, Ye Zhen had only been in the city for less than an hour when she was openly and subtly mocked four times.

First, a rogue cultivator with triangular eyes glanced at Ye Zhen as he passed by and suddenly mocked her for her low cultivation level, shabby clothes, and picking up trash at a small stall. Ye Xinghan beat him up and chased him away.

After walking a few steps, another female cultivator said that her Daoist partner had glanced at Ye Zhen several times, insisting that she was practicing a seductive art to seduce people. Ye Xinglan coldly slapped her away ten feet away.

What made Lin You even more amused was that Ye Zhen had just taken a fancy to an ordinary wooden hairpin at a mortal's stall, and then was forced to bid against it by a mortal girl adorned with pearls and jade.

This trait of attracting trouble and then retaliating is a standard feature of the overpowered protagonist.

"I'll offer fifty coins, or seventy if that's not enough. I'm taking this hairpin today!"

Hearing the girl's arrogant voice, Ye Zhen helplessly pursed her lips, casually tossed the hairpin to her, ignoring the conflicted expression on the other's face.

The girl was about to pull Ye Zhen away, but seeing that Ye Zhen was clearly not of this world, she had no choice but to shut up.

The girl's companion was a handsome young man with eyes like spring water and a face like peach blossoms. He looked at Ye Zhen's reaction, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Ye Zhen had given up on her plan to stroll with Lin You and simply followed behind Ye Xinglan, relying on her master's aura to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

"What a pity." Lin You sighed regretfully, her tone clearly wanting to see a good show, which made Ye Zhen roll her eyes.

"It's a pity that the beautiful peach blossom next to her hasn't even bloomed yet, and it's already withered." Lin You winked meaningfully at Ye Zhen, gesturing for her to look at the girl's companion.

Having learned from her previous experience, Lin You used her free time to familiarize herself with the plot and had already learned a great deal about Ye Zhen's experiences in her previous life.

Although he doesn't have a name in the plot, the familiar scene and the handsome young man next to the girl clearly indicate that he's another male supporting character.

As expected, whether Long Aotian is male or female, the harem he builds is full of unique characters, regardless of their appearance, personality, or race.

"Even if it is a romantic encounter, it's a bad one. This woman is obviously acting. I'm not really blind!" Ye Zhen complained. She wanted to take another look back, but the little wolf cub in her arms slapped her head back with its paw.

Lin You chuckled and took out her phone. She had planted a listening device on the two of them to see what tricks this girl was up to.

The magic of cultivating immortality is really useful. Without even getting close to these two people, I can silently stick a listening device on the girl's hairpin.

Unaware that she was being monitored, the girl watched Ye Zhen walk away before her arrogant expression subsided. She then looked at the boy beside her and whispered, "Brother, what do we do now? Should we continue to contact this one, or find another one?"

The boy frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed, and said softly, "Have people look for new targets, but don't give up on this one either. Among the immortal masters who have come to Rain City recently, she has the best attitude towards mortals."

"The immortal master next to her is not bad either. He looks innocent and is definitely easier to fool than this one." The girl pouted, but still obediently passed the message to the vendor not far away.

"The one we're interested in likes delicate and fragile young men. Since arriving in the city, her gaze has lingered on these types of men the longest. As for the one you mentioned, her eyes are only on the food."

The girl nodded knowingly and smiled ingratiatingly at the boy, "Brother, you're so observant. If you really go with the immortal master to serve him, don't forget your sister's contribution."

The listening device was given by Shen Zechen, and its quality is absolutely guaranteed. Lin You and the others heard these words clearly.

Looking at Ye Zhen's bewildered expression and the little wolf cub with his brows furrowed, Lin You awkwardly touched her nose. So being a foodie has these advantages?

Lin You didn't turn her voice up very loud, and she even set up a small barrier, so only the four people and the little wolf cub could hear the receiver's voice.

Ye Zhen was quite embarrassed, feeling like she had been caught having a puppy love in high school and her homeroom teacher had to call her parents.

To their surprise, their master only instructed them, "Do not become addicted," and then said nothing more.

Ye Xinghan glanced at Ye Zhen with slight surprise, as if marveling at her unique hobby.

Lin You/Ye Zhen, …………? ?

Isn't something amiss here?

The two of them only realized later that although cultivators do not value romantic desires, they do follow their hearts in all things.

This place is different from the ancient times they know. There is no concept of male superiority and female inferiority or women's chastity. If Ye Zhen likes it, it is not a big deal for her to keep a few male concubines by her side.

Seeing Ye Zhen looking like she'd just discovered a whole new world, Lin You quietly took out a straw hat she'd just bought from her storage bag and put it on the little wolf cub's head.

The lush green leaves on the straw hat really suited this miserable male protagonist.

Seeing Lin You's sympathetic gaze, Ling Ye was completely distraught. He shook his head violently, knocking off his straw hat, and bared his teeth at Lin You in anger at the obvious green glint in his eyes.

Ye Zhen took the hat he threw down and put it back on him. "Ah Ye, you can't be so rude. Youyou saved you back then, after all."

After Ye Zhen finished speaking, she patted the wolf cub's head. Lin You looked at the hat that the female lead had personally put on the wolf cub, and her gaze towards the wolf cub became even more sympathetic.

Seeing that Lin You and Ye Zhen had lost interest in shopping, Ye Xinghan found an inn and booked a fairly spacious courtyard as their place to stay for the next few days.

This was booked under the Ye family's name. The small secret realm is about to open in the next few days, and Rain City is now overcrowded with more than ten times the usual number of cultivators.

Cultivators have never valued material possessions, and the inns they stay in are not much different from those in the mortal world, except that they have more arrays and the spiritual energy is more abundant than elsewhere.

Of course, the higher the spiritual energy of an inn, the more expensive it will be. Some inns will even provide jade slips for guests to read, much like a modern library.

The inn where they stayed had jade slips in each courtyard, recording general information about the secret realm and some local customs of Rain City.

Lin You went over and took a look. The recorded content was correct, but it wasn't as detailed as Ye Zhen's guide, so she ignored it.

The opening time of the small secret realm can only be estimated to be within five days. There will be spiritual energy fluctuations before it opens, but it is not necessary to guard it at all times.

Ye Xinglan stayed in the room and continued to study mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and her cultivation level continued to increase.

Although Lin You and Ye Zhen didn't understand why modern popular knowledge could help cultivators achieve enlightenment and advance in their cultivation level.

Fortunately, neither of them were the type to dwell on things. Since it was a good thing, why worry about it so much?

Ye Xinghan was also pressed down by his sister at the desk, scrubbing papers with a bitter face. Ever since Ye Zhen casually mentioned that modern students study multiple courses at the same time, his homework has become visibly several times thicker.

Even cultivators are not very good at adapting to the intense study methods of senior year of high school. Lin You and Ye Zhen could see that their junior uncle had become visibly listless.

Even the food wasn't as lively as before, with everyone scrambling for it.

The concepts and knowledge of reality were already in Lin You and Ye Zhen's minds, which may be the reason why their cultivation speed was so fast and there were no bottlenecks.

After discovering that doing homework didn't lead to enlightenment for Lin You and Ye Zhen, and had no obvious effect on their cultivation, Ye Xinglan stopped requiring them to do homework every day.

They even gave the two of them a break, telling them not to meditate and cultivate every day, but to go out and explore more. In comparison, Ye Xinghan looked even more miserable.

In order not to get in the way of their junior uncle who failed the exam, and also to give their master enough time to lecture them, Lin You and Ye Zhen took the wolf cub and went out again.

Then, I ran into that stunningly beautiful boy again.

It might not be a chance encounter; the young man had come specifically to apologize.

He lowered his posture and bowed respectfully to Ye Zhen, saying, "My younger sister was unruly and offended the Immortal Master the other day. Yun Jing has come to apologize on her behalf."

Yun Jing held the tray high in both hands, on which were priceless treasures from the mortal world. He kept a low posture, his head bowed, and half of his black hair was tied up, falling down his shoulders to his chest.

However, the collar of his clothes was very loose, and with his movements, a large area of ​​his back and long, fair neck were exposed.

This is... seduction?!

Lin You silently took a step back, not wanting to affect the male supporting character's performance, and also enjoying the show.

Ye Zhen secretly glared at her friends who were watching the commotion, smiled awkwardly, but didn't go forward to help the person up. "It's just a small matter, I didn't take it to heart, you don't need to be so concerned."

Even without hearing their schemes, she could tell that this person who approached her was not normal.

Yun Jing seemed not to understand. He pleaded with her to accept the apology gift and forgive his sister's offense, while crawling two steps on his knees, almost kneeling at Ye Zhen's feet.

Ye Zhen was startled by him. She didn't have any particular fetishes, so she quickly picked up the little wolf cub and slipped away.

Before Lin You could react, the boy in front of her raised his head, stared blankly at Ye Zhen's back for a while, and then turned to look at her. His dark eyes were misty, with a hint of confusion and grievance.

Seeing Yun Jing's seemingly pouncing motion, Lin You couldn't help but shudder, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and quickly slipped away.

It seems being a protagonist like Long Aotian isn't easy; most people can't handle such good fortune with women.

It's puzzling how Yun Jing, who is clearly just an ordinary person, could see through their identities, even though they always used small illusion arrays when they went out.

Lin You scratched his head and thought for a while, and finally attributed the reason to the plot setting of the world. After all, he was the second male supporting character, so he must have some special skills.

She ran eight blocks in a flash before finally letting out a sigh of relief. She sat down at a stall selling glutinous rice lotus root by the lake and ordered a bowl of sweet lotus root to calm her nerves.

The glutinous rice was crystal clear, the lotus root was fragrant, and with a spoonful of thick osmanthus honey, it was soft, sticky, and sweet. Lin You ate without looking up and quickly finished the bowl. Her mood, which had been affected by others while shopping, was mostly restored.

Delicious food is the best thing to soothe the mind and body; beauty is really not suitable for her.
