8 A terrible first encounter
◎Yun Xiuzhu: Where is your cultivation!◎
"In this interstellar era, there are seven superpowers, namely the Sun Empire, the Obsidian Empire, the Mechanical Royal Court, the Sea Moon Fjord, the Starry Sea, and the Yunchen Federation?"
"Temple of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"The Sun Empire's royal family is the Winged Tribe, which includes light-type races such as Light Spirits, Griffins, Unicorns, Larks, and White Phoenixes. The empire's actual power and management rests with the Seven Lords. What should I be aware of when interacting with its citizens?"
"You need to be respectful of their beliefs and refrain from making fun of or insulting them. When communicating, pay attention to your manners and avoid any indecent behavior. Most importantly, the person communicating must not possess a dark-type ability."
After two months of intensive study in the Star Network simulation class, Yu Li is no longer a clueless newbie. She has also gained a basic understanding of the major forces in this interstellar world. Therefore, Yu Li can basically answer all the questions raised in the course accurately.
The teacher who was simulated in the classroom, with long braided hair and a beautiful and gentle temperament, nodded and said with a smile of encouragement:
"Yu Li, your final score for this class is 98. Congratulations on your excellent performance. This is something worth encouraging. I hope you can keep up the good work next time. See you next time!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, teacher." Yu Li replied after the teacher finished speaking.
Yu Li was used to the teacher's tone of voice scolding children. After all, the basic course she was taking was the same course for elementary school students in the interstellar era.
"Luckily, the mock class allows you to choose between individual or group study, otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to attend class with a group of kids!"
Yu Li Maomao sighed. In the past two months, she had been studying as hard as she did in her senior year of high school, taking the college entrance examination. She had basic courses in the morning, potions and forging in the afternoon, and practice in the evening, which was 15 hours a day without stopping.
The combat department exam at Yunchen University is divided into three parts: 50% actual combat, 20% ability level, and 30% cultural examination. If you are a qualified pharmacist or blacksmith, you can get additional points.
It would be better to obtain the yellow-grade potion and blacksmith certification within these two months. This would be safer. After all, in terms of culture, well, I can only try my best to get a basic score.
She had already learned the basics of potions and ores, so she could start working on them! Her rare Medicine Pounding Rabbit was also very good at making medicinal herbs.
Yu Li was looking forward to the practical class later. She narrowed her eyes, jumped a few times, and her long curly hair scattered behind her fluttered in the wind. Suddenly, she seemed to be distracted and wandered into a remote street.
The girl stopped and looked around warily. Realizing that she was the only one around, Yu Li frowned and was about to call the elf to change the map for her when she heard footsteps.
Then she saw a man in a gold and white floral shirt and dark blue short hair running towards her. He had a strand of long hair draped behind his back. When he got closer, Yu Li realized that the man was too handsome, like a peacock spirit. The girl couldn't help but think so as she looked at the man's charming peacock green eyes.
"Miss, could you help me escape those who are pursuing me? I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Fei Yuxin ran over and stood right next to her. His voice was low but with a hint of charm. His emerald eyes looked at her lovingly. The red petal-shaped tattoo under his eyes made him even more alluring, like a fox demon seducing scholars in Liao Zhai.
"Hey! They're over there, don't let them get away!!"
Yu Li pursed her lips as she listened to the voice coming from afar, but still looked up at the man in front of her who looked like a semen-sucking demon and asked a soul-searching question:
"The Star Network should be able to be offline at any time, right? Can't you just log off directly?"
The words "and there will be a generous reward" sound so similar to how Yun Xiuzhu tricked her!
"Oh~ I accidentally forgot about this. Thank you for reminding me, Miss. My name is Fei Yuxin. I wonder if this lady is interested in having a drink with me. This will also be a way to thank Miss for reminding me."
Fei Yuxin changed his words with an unchanged smile.
"No! I refuse."
Yu Li took a step back to distance herself from him, summoned the elf and prepared to leave, but found that there was no movement on her panel.
She once again looked around and listened to the sounds of voices and running coming from afar. Yu Li's expression immediately turned cold, as if she had thought of something. She said:
"Illusion? What exactly are you planning to do?"
"Have you been discovered? I was thinking of having a romantic beauty-saving-hero moment with the young lady and then marrying her~"
He answered frivolously, taking a few steps forward to get closer to the girl again. His shirt was open, revealing part of his strong chest. His muscles were smooth and tight. A turquoise necklace hung around his neck, rising and falling with his breathing.
"Wait a minute! You didn't mean to hide from me! This is the Star Network, who on earth could have come up with such an old-fashioned method?"
Yu Li couldn't hold it in anymore and started to complain. Her eyes seemed to be burned and she looked away silently.
"I learned this method from an ancient book I unearthed on the Federation's origin planet. The book's title is 'Runaway Little Wife: My Husband's Beloved Wife.' It's said that in that era, people used this method to save the beautiful woman and pledge their lives together. However, it seems that it doesn't work very well nowadays."
Fei Yuxin thought of the ancient book placed in the display cabinet at home and shook his head slightly and spoke.
Ah this!! Yu Li didn't know whether to complain about the book's title, or if she should just complain. Help! Has a modern, old-fashioned romance novel become nonfiction after going to the stars?! Holy shit! That's not how archaeology is tested! Just thinking about the title made her toes tickle!
"Wait, wait! Now is not the time to talk about this. What exactly do you want to talk to me about? Or is it Yun Xiuzhu you want to see?"
Yu Li quickly brought the topic back to her speculation, after all, Yun Xiuzhu was the only one she had known for some time.
"Well, although I do know Yun Xiuzhu, I really want to meet you, Miss Yu Li~"
As the man spoke, he moved closer to her, his beautiful emerald fox eyes looking at her intently, full of charm. When Yu Li wanted to retreat again, she found that she was frozen and unable to move.
Just as Fei Yuxin was getting closer to the girl, the next moment!
The dim and quiet street scene was easily removed as if a canvas was torn apart. A silver-haired man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood indifferently at the edge of the torn street, his cold golden eyes looking at Fei Yuxin, as sharp as a knife.
"Fei Yuxin, what are you doing? Opening a domain in a non-combat area of the Star Network! I don't think Yu Li will have anything to say to you!"
"Hey! I'm just curious, that's all. You should know?"
He was just curious about why his original body would suddenly wake up and get entangled with a girl after so many years, so of course he wanted to come and see.
Fei Yuxin wanted to say something but was interrupted by a golden-red flame flying towards him at high speed. He picked up Yu Li and retreated several steps as lightly as a cat. His peacock green eyes narrowed slightly and he realized in an instant that Yun Xiuzhu did not want to continue speaking.
Is this because he doesn't want Yu Li to know that "He" is their true form, or does he not want her to know that the Carter clan's plan is manipulated by Yun Xiuzhu behind the scenes, or is it both?
Fei Yuxin couldn't help laughing when he thought about the information he had found before, Yun Xiuzhu's strict defense against him in the past two months, and the resonance with his original body from time to time.
The man bent down slightly and touched Yu Li's soft cheek like a big cat, whispering:
"Well, it seems that I was a little too impatient and messed up. However, Miss Yuli will definitely forgive my previous rudeness. I hope that next time we meet, you can give me a chance to make amends~"
After saying that, he snapped his fingers lightly.
“Bang!”
The next moment, the girl disappeared from her spot. Yun Xiuzhu couldn't help but frown at his overly intimate actions. Although he knew that he wanted them to have some space to talk alone, he still couldn't help but say:
"Fei Yuxin, where is your cultivation!"
Fei Yuxin couldn't help laughing when she heard his rebuke:
"Hahahaha, I don't have any noble manners! And Yun Xiuzhu, have you also been influenced by Him? You were not like this before."
"I'm just getting a little revenge. You've ignored my news for the past two months and even tried every possible way to stop me from getting the information. That's really too much! Do you think Miss Yu Li would be disappointed if she knew that her mentor, who cared so much for her, was actually so petty in private?"
"Yu Li won't believe someone like you who is so rude as to attack her right away!"
Yun Xiuzhu's expression grew even colder when he heard these harsh words, but he suppressed his anger and continued:
"Yuli doesn't know that you, me, and the dragon that sleeps every day are all his clones. He doesn't want Yuli to know this."
"Hmm~, was this His decision? Or your decision? Or did you decide together?"
When Fei Yuxin heard Yun Xiuzhu say that the girl would dislike him, his charming and seductive smile froze for a moment.
He narrowed his eyes after hearing that, raised his hand, and pressed the bright red petal-shaped mark under his eye, thinking: Indeed, if Miss Yuli knew that I was also the incarnation of that cute pink octopus, it would be too lame!!! Better to let Miss Yuli find out for herself, that would be really fun!!
After thinking it through, Fei Yuxin let go of his hand and said:
"Okay, although I can't do anything about it, in exchange you can't stop blocking me from now on. After all, I've been wasting time every day for the past two months on this useless unblocking. It's so boring!"
"Yes, and the news about the Carter clan's treasure theft and destruction mentioned SSS-level intelligence. After all, it's openly related to a secret treasure, right? If so, the price must be worthy of this level."
When Yun Xiuzhu heard that he agreed, he changed the subject.
"You just don't want Miss Yu Li to know that you were the one behind this. This is really a roundabout way to do it. Of course, you can make money and fool some fools at the same time. This is really a three-pronged approach. I'll take it."
Fei Yuxin spoke lazily, revealing Yun Xiuzhu's thoughts, and then gloated:
"I wonder what Miss Yuli will do to you after she finds out about this. I'm really looking forward to it~"
Yun Xiuzhu was not angry, and his tone returned to his usual gentle tone as he said:
"I think we had already established a deep enough emotional connection by the time she found out. Such things wouldn't affect us at all. Moreover, occasional conflicts can actually enhance our relationship."
"Tsk! That's why I hate people like you who are so scheming. Sigh, I don't know when I can laugh at your joke again. I will laugh for the rest of my life."
Fei Yuxin raised the corners of his mouth frivolously. The smile was cynical and casual, which was particularly attractive with his feminine and beautiful face.
Unfortunately, Yun Xiuzhu wasn't attracted to the peacock spirit. He thought it was already quite enchanting before, and now it was even more unbearable to look at!
You should go back and copy the "Detailed Explanation of Federal Etiquette" five thousand times, and then pray and confess your mistakes a thousand times every day.
"This is better than you, a lunatic who is unruly, does whatever he wants, and loves chaos."
Yun Xiuzhu's tone was still gentle, like a gentle breeze, but the words he said were merciless at all. Ah, there was still some mercy.
After all, Yun Xiuzhu couldn't say the name "troublemaker" because of his own upbringing.
Just as the two began to bicker mercilessly, time went back to the moment Yu Li was teleported away.
