Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Reciprocity
Yun Miao hadn't expected this to happen. Realizing she had triggered a special event, she began to struggle with whether to agree. If she agreed... she was afraid she'd regret it later. If she didn't agree... she was afraid the opportunity would slip away.
Fortunately, Ge Yan was just happy to see the talent and had no intention of making things difficult for the youngster. Seeing this, she asked Yun Miao to think about it carefully and not to give her a reply right away. She also stated that she wanted to protect Tan Xiaobai here and asked Yun Miao and the others to go sit in other rooms first.
Tan Xiaobai made quite a noise, and people from the neighboring rooms came out and stood in the aisle, looking around curiously. Some people also heard what Elder Ge had just said and were looking at Yun Miao with inquiring eyes.
Huo Xin knew that being surrounded by these people would be very troublesome. He casually placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and turned to the other three people and said, "Let's go for a walk on the deck."
Yun Miao and the other two had no objection to this, and they immediately headed towards the deck. Some people did have the idea of approaching and chatting, but were quickly scared off by Huo Xin's cold face.
The deck was empty, and the four men staggered as soon as they walked out due to the howling wind. Huo Xin had been practicing swordsmanship since he was young, so his lower body was very stable, so he quickly stabilized his body.
Guan Dahai and Gao Zhu, who were walking behind, supported each other and managed to stand steadily. Huo Xin also wanted to help Yun Miao, but as soon as she reached out her hand, she saw Yun Miao kneeling on the ground with his hands and knees.
Huo Xin noticed that the Xuantian Sect disciples in the distance, who were standing tall and straight, with an air of immortality, were all looking over. She was clearly not the one crawling on the ground, but for some reason her cheeks felt hot. She quickly said, "Give me your hand. I'll help you up."
"Wait, I think I saw a puppy."
Yun Miao, who was letting herself go in the game, didn't care at all what the NPC thought of her, and crawled towards the wooden boxes piled in the distance.
Because the thick side of the ship was very windproof, Yun Miao, who was at a low altitude, climbed steadily. However, Huo Xin and others who tried to keep up were blown two steps forward and one step back by the wind.
Yun Miao quickly crawled to the front of the pile of wooden boxes at the back of the cabin and looked through the gap.
"Come and see, there really is a puppy here!"
I saw a small black ball of fur curled up deep in the wooden box. It was hiding very secretly. If Yun Miao hadn't been lying down, he might not have been able to find it.
The little black dog raised its head, and its round eyes calmly met the dark human eyes outside the gap.
Yun Miao immediately waved at the puppy, like an NPC who had triggered a keyword: "Slurp, suck, suck."
The little black dog tilted its head, seemingly not understanding what she meant.
Huo Xin walked to Yun Miao with difficulty in the strong wind: "Where did the dog come from?"
"It's not a dog, it's a wolf cub."
A familiar cold voice was heard, causing Yun Miao and Huo Xin to look up at the same time. They saw that the female disciple who had a long whip hanging from her waist and read out the rules was standing beside them at some point.
Yun Miao sat down on the ground, took out the only remaining wild flower from her bag and handed it over, smiling brightly: "Hello, my name is Yun Miao!"
Huo Xin frowned again. It was over. Yun Miao must have forgotten what she had just said.
She stared at the female disciple vigilantly, fearing that this person would kick Yun Miao away on the charge of harassment.
Ning Yu didn't respond to Yun Miao's words, nor did she kick Yun Miao off the boat. She just said coldly, "Are you like this to everyone?"
Yun Miao: "No, I only do this to people I like."
"Do you like me?"
Ning Yu suddenly smiled, her smile like an ice sculpture coming to life, the ice and snow melting, the spring water shimmering. But even such a beauty could speak so harshly.
"But I don't like you, frivolous little brat."
Wow, what a unique NPC.
Yun Miao's smile became even brighter. She stood up and placed the wilted little wild flower next to the beauty's ear.
"It doesn't matter, I like you."
"It turns out he's not just frivolous, he's arrogant."
Ning Yu raised her hand and stroked the wildflower beside her ear: "Are you really not afraid that I will kick you off the boat? And end your path to immortality?"
Yun Miao: "Not afraid."
Ning Yu: "Why aren't you afraid?"
Yun Miao said as a matter of course: "Because some destinies have already been written in the dark. Regardless of whether I have this ship or not, I will definitely be able to join the Xuantian Sect!"
Joining the Xuantian Sect is obviously the main task for novices. This is the game route that the game planners have arranged for players a long time ago. This fairy boat and even the Xuantian Sect are prepared for players.
Even if the holographic game is very changeable, it is only possible that the player refuses to take this quest line and chooses other routes. There is absolutely no reason for this game line itself to reject the player.
So as long as the player wants to join the Xuantian Sect, she will definitely be able to join the Xuantian Sect!
Ning Yu didn't understand Yun Miao's meaning, so she was even more confused as to why this young woman in green could act so fearless? Why was her gaze so determined? It was as if what she said was the truth of the world, the so-called destiny...
Players' interest always comes and goes quickly. After Yun Miao gave the flowers away, he sat back and started to "suck" at the puppy again.
Ning Yu came back to her senses and looked at the childish girl in green again. She felt that she must have seen it wrong.
How could a mortal understand what fate is? He must be like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
"I already told you it's a wolf...never mind, do you like it?"
Yun Miao: "It looks a lot like a dog I knew when I was a child."
She took out a meat bun from her bag and handed it to the puppy. Although most of the buns were in Huo Xin's storage bag, the smart player still stuffed a few meat buns into her own small bag in case of emergency.
The little black wolf sniffed, then reached out and grabbed the bun that Yun Miao had stuffed into the gap, then lowered his head and began to eat quietly.
It looked like it had just been weaned, its black fur fluffy and soft, and it seemed to smell of milk. But it did not escape the mother wolf's panic, and was a little too calm.
Ning Yu noticed that Yun Miao's voice had lowered when she spoke these words. Normally, she would never ask about such trivial matters, but today she did.
"Is that dog also solid black? What's its name?"
“It’s called reserve grain.”
As Yun Miao watched the little black wolf eating buns deep inside the wooden box, he recalled, "It was also a furry little black dog. It was very cute. I was only eight years old at the time, and my friends and I would often go and play with it."
"Later, my friend and I pooled our money to buy it from its owner, but the man said he didn't have enough money because it was a dog he raised for meat. But if I gave him the money, he promised not to eat the food in the future."
"We believed him and gave him all the money, but a few months later, the food reserves were eaten by its owner. I was very sad and angry at the time. I picked up a pile of dog poop to get revenge on him, but before I could do anything, the man accidentally electrocuted himself while fishing in the river."
Yun Miao looked at Ning Yu and said in a cold tone, "Do you know what this story tells us?"
Several Xuantian Sect disciples who were standing guard at the bow were attracted by the conversation between Ning Yu and Yun Miao. They quietly came over to listen to the story, and immediately interrupted when they heard the words.
"I know, this is telling us that evil will be punished!"
"You even lied to children. How despicable!"
"Those who break their promises deserve to be struck by lightning!"
Yun Miao: "That's not right."
A Xuantian Sect disciple asked again, "Could it be telling us...that even after becoming a cultivator we shouldn't be complacent and proud? We need to practice diligently to control our own power. If we can't control our power, we will suffer the backlash of that power?"
Yun Miao: "That's not right either."
Ning Yu also became interested: "Why is that?"
Yun Miao said bitterly, "This story tells us that you never know which will come first, a person's tomorrow or an accident. So revenge must be taken as soon as possible!"
"I was planning to pick up a bunch of stinky dog shit and stuff it into his rice cooker and under his bed. But just as I finished collecting a bag of it, he died. In the end, I could only sprinkle the entire bag of shit on his grave. Isn't that a pity?"
"Later, I insisted on picking up a pile of smelly dog feces every year and sprinkling it on the grave on the anniversary of the grain storage's death. As a result, the grass on the grave grew exceptionally lush in the spring and summer of those years. It wasn't until I was twelve years old that I was discovered by others and I had to give up with resentment."
"So revenge has to be taken right then and there. Otherwise, if you hold back, you'll only end up hurting yourself! If you take a step back, you'll only get angrier! For example, every time I think about it at night, I still get so angry I bite the quilt!"
Everyone: ...
Huo Xin had long understood Yun Miao's personality, so his expression was relatively normal, but the expressions of those Xuantian Sect disciples were a little uneasy.
It’s all because their hearing is so good that before their brains can react, some taboo knowledge that smells like dog poop has already been heard by them!
But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is... they actually think that what they said makes some sense!
Ning Yu: "...Since you like this dog, I will give it to you."
Yun Miao's eyes lit up: "Really? Thank you!"
Ning Yu tucked her hair behind her ears, her tone returning to its previous coldness: "No need to thank me, it's just a courtesy."
"I'm going to name it Reserve Food, and its nickname is Xiao Hei!"
Yun Miao happily pushed open the wooden box and took the little black dog out.
"Stock up on food. I'll take good care of you and make sure you live like a grandmother... oh no, like a grandfather!"
She looked down and quickly changed her words.
The little black wolf seemed to be a mute. It had no intention of calling out at all. It just silently tucked its tail between its legs.
