After saying that, the players settled down in the village.
The village in the game is the largest in the area and is located on the side of the official road, so it has inns and restaurants.
Although Mingmei didn't follow, she could still see some of the players' storylines through Lu Xiaoyao's perspective.
In the inn,
"You sleep on the floor."
Lu Xiaoyao was unsettled from the moment she received her identity card at the start of the game—a washed-up courtesan.
Why add "outdated" when you call yourself a courtesan?
This time, she came to find the Fox Fairy Goddess with the wealthy merchant who had redeemed her.
However, the wealthy businessman in the game who is infatuated with her and willing to pay a high price to redeem her is played by Julian.
For some reason, Julian gave Lu Xiaoyao the feeling of being her nemesis.
She always felt that this person would bring her bad luck.
Julian also has a lot to say about his identity as a wealthy businessman.
Are there such courtesans?
Even if she's past her prime, Julian doesn't think Lu Xiaoyao's looks are up to that level. Even if her face is okay, her figure isn't up to par!
So from the moment they entered the game, the two were in a "hostile" state of "I don't like you, and you're not much better."
"The nighttime in this game is over in the blink of an eye, why is it so complicated? Why do we have to lay blankets on the floor and stuff..."
Julian frowned, but he had no intention of taking Lu Xiaoyao's bed.
He sat upright on a stool to the side and said, "I'll just sit here and rest for the night."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, who was wrapped tightly in the quilt and staring at him with her eyes wide open. At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao gave him a somewhat incongruous feeling.
His feud with Lu Xiaoyao wasn't something that happened overnight. Although he couldn't remember some of the previous events, the Lu Xiaoyao in front of him seemed quite different from the image in his mind.
The girl in front of me... looks a bit like the silly daughter of the nouveau riche next door.
Hey, look at that player, isn't the way they're looking at our little one a bit strange?
[Something's up?]
"Really? It doesn't seem like it."
Why do I feel like there's so much disdain in that gaze?
[Nonsense, he's clearly taken a liking to you! Kid, Mommy doesn't allow puppy love!]
[Honey! Daddy doesn't agree either!]
[Husband! I won't allow it!!!]
Wait a minute, what strange thing has gotten mixed in up ahead?
...
Mingmei couldn't help but laugh as she watched the comments on the live stream. After having dinner with two elderly NPCs, she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Just as she finished, there was a knock on the door.
"Here it comes~"
As Mingmei walked into the courtyard, she saw a man dressed as a scholar, wearing a light gray long gown and carrying a bamboo book box, standing outside the gate.
Who is it?
Because it was dusk, Mingmei didn't recognize who it was at first glance. It wasn't until she walked to the door after asking her questions that she realized the scholar-like person was actually Mu Chen.
"I am on my way to the capital for the imperial examinations and have come across your esteemed place. It is getting late, so I would be grateful if you would grant me the honor of staying here for the night?"
For some reason, after listening to the other person recite a long string of lines in a literary style, a thought vaguely popped into Mingmei's mind—what would happen if a handsome but poor scholar spent the night in a mountain village in this storybook?
