☆ How to increase favorability in Chapter 13 (Bug Fix)
His hammer has been confiscated by Shen Qingqiu. Could it be that he intends to crush Luo Binghe to death with his body?
Seeing his outstretched arms, as if he were about to give Luo Binghe a hug, Shen Qingqiu's mind suddenly raced through several thoughts, and he broke out in a cold sweat!
Holy crap! He's wearing poison spike armor!
In that instant, Shen Qingqiu completely forgot about Luo Binghe's invincible golden body. At the critical moment, he subconsciously blocked the attack once again.
Xiuya Sword was drawn, its blade gleaming, piercing straight into Elder Tianchui's heavy body. But with his brute strength and ruthlessness, he did not retreat even with a hole pierced through him. Instead, he was overjoyed and charged forward, forcing Xiuya Sword to pass through his back. With a ferocious smile on his face, he turned and pounced on Shen Qingqiu.
Shen Qingqiu made a quick decision and immediately let go, but it was too late.
A sharp pain shot through his right hand, and he felt a chill run from his heart to his feet.
Tianchui collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and roared with laughter, "Shen Qingqiu will be buried with me, hahaha! Worth it! Worth it!"
"Master!" Luo Binghe suddenly grabbed Shen Qingqiu's right hand, his eyes red with anxiety: "Master, you...you've been stabbed?!"
Shen Qingqiu pulled her hand away from his and said, "It's nothing. I didn't get stabbed. Don't listen to his alarmist talk." As she spoke, she glanced down, and a string of "zhahahahahaha" thoughts flashed through her mind again.
From the back of my hand to my arm, rows of tiny needle marks! They're already starting to turn red!
Fortunately, he didn't have trypophobia. On the contrary, Luo Binghe turned completely pale after seeing it.
Can anyone hear the raging storm in Shen Qingqiu's heart: Damn it, how many times have I been tricked by the protagonist?! I told you he wouldn't die! Why the hell are you rushing to save him?!
Elder Tianchui finally managed to drag someone down with him, and a heavyweight one at that. He wasn't discouraged at all, and said smugly, "I never exaggerate. If I say there's no cure for this poison, then there's no cure. Peak Master Shen, just wait to die!"
With a flash of sword light, Luo Binghe drew his Xiuya sword and pressed it against Shen Qingqiu's neck. His movements were so swift that Shen Qingqiu almost didn't see it clearly.
Luo Binghe seemed like a completely different person at this moment, angrily saying, "Impossible! There must be a way. Without handing over the antidote..."
Sha Hualing suddenly said, "Young master, Tianchui did not lie to you. This poison is called 'incurable.' For humans, there is indeed no cure. He is going to die anyway, so why would he be afraid of you threatening him with your death?"
"Unsolvable!"
I've never heard of a more careless poison name in my life!
Although he had read the original work and already knew about this strange poison, Shen Qingqiu still couldn't stop himself from criticizing the pragmatic style of naming the character "Xiang Tian Da Fei Ji" (literally "hitting the sky with a plane")!
Sha Hualing's eyes flickered, clearly sensing the drastic change in the situation and harboring ill intentions again. Shen Qingqiu, of course, knew her true nature perfectly well. While suppressing the throbbing pain and spasms in his right hand with his spiritual energy, he smiled and feigned ease, saying, "That's true, but has Miss Sha forgotten that I've been an enlightened being for many years? At the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, am I still considered a mortal?"
Sha Hualing's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a charming smile, "I don't know if he's a mortal or not. But I know a way to determine whether Senior Shen has been poisoned or not. A person poisoned by 'incurable' will have their spiritual energy blocked from the wound, slowly affecting their entire body. Eventually, not only their spiritual energy but also their blood will congeal and become stagnant. Please use your right hand to deliver a powerful spiritual energy attack, and we'll see the answer."
A spiritual energy burst, as the name suggests, involves concentrating a large amount of spiritual energy into a single point and then unleashing it suddenly, using the violent vibrations of the spiritual energy wave to generate an attack effect. The effect is similar to pulling a trigger, firing a bullet, or throwing a detonator; the specifics depend on the practitioner's cultivation level.
Shen Qingqiu had tried it in private and he could throw a grenade, but now, his right hand was like a part of a precision robot whose circuitry had been removed. He could barely exert any force, but the flow of spiritual energy was completely blocked.
Damn it, am I really going to be crippled like this?!
Luo Binghe's lips trembled upon hearing the description "unsolvable".
At this moment, all the bad things Shen Qingqiu had done to him in the past were erased from his heart.
He knew perfectly well that his master might lose all his power or even his life if he was harmed by the demons!
And all of this was for him...
Seeing his changing expression, Shen Qingqiu casually patted his head and said, "Don't worry."
Shen Qingqiu raised his eyes and smiled slyly, "It wouldn't hurt to use it once. But it can't be used for nothing. Miss Sha, you caused such a ruckus at Qiongding Peak today, and I, Shen, have been holding back until just now. Now I've changed my mind. I can't just come and go as I please, or my Cangqiong Mountain Sect will be ridiculed. How about we strike each other's palms and make a life-or-death pact? Whoever suffers any injury will be responsible for their own actions, and no one will be held accountable for the consequences. What do you say?"
He can't show weakness now!
On the entire Dome Peak, only he, as the elder, is holding it up now. Once he falls, given Yisha Hualing's ruthlessness, the consequences could range from the demons tearing down the Dome Palace, carrying its signboard and gate back to the Demon Realm, causing the sect's reputation to plummet; to the massacre of the entire mountain!
Don't doubt it, this woman is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
Why not take the risk and gamble?
Shen Qingqiu, however, did not notice that, without realizing it, he no longer regarded the disciples around him—whether anxious, resolute, angry, or hesitant—as mere extras described in a few words in the book.
Sahare bit her lip, looking very conflicted.
If Shen Qingqiu is truly no longer an ordinary human, then the poison will have no effect on him. If the two of them exchange a blow, it will be a head-on clash of spiritual power, and he will surely die. But if he is just bluffing and misses this great opportunity to wipe out Qiongding Peak, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?
Shen Qingqiu looked at her calmly, as if neither expecting nor avoiding her, waiting for her to make a decision.
Luo Binghe tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Master, this disciple is willing to take this blow in your place."
Shen Qingqiu calmly pulled back his sleeve and said, "How can a disciple stand up for his master?"
Luo Binghe said, "Master was injured because of his disciple..."
Shen Qingqiu glared at him: "Since you know you got hurt because of you, then you should take good care of your own life!"
Luo Binghe opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word; his eyes reddened even more.
Finally, Sha Hualing gritted her teeth and said, "Then please forgive my rudeness, Senior Shen!"
Shen Qingqiu said, "I won't hold back."
Sha Hualing's heart pounded wildly, and she didn't even dare to reply. Her fiery red figure leaped up, and her snow-white jade palm, carrying a domineering black demonic energy, attacked!
Shen Qingqiu kicked Luo Binghe away, ready to meet the palm strike with his bare body!
However, he was neither knocked away by Sahirin's palm nor exploded and died while spitting blood.
The master of Hundred Battles Peak, brimming with murderous intent and with his sword already drawn, didn't move a single finger. The spiritual energy emanating from his body alone was enough to repel the all-out attack of Sha Hualing.
After a moment of silence, the summit erupted in cheers.
"Uncle-Master Liu!" "Uncle-Master Liu has emerged from seclusion!" "The War God of Hundred Battles Peak has emerged from seclusion! You demons of the Demon Realm, let's see if you still dare to be arrogant!"
Shen Qingqiu thought to himself: What a load of rubbish! Would it kill you to come out earlier?! I really thought I was going back to my original world!
This truly lives up to its reputation as a harem novel filled with fanservice. After being thrown back, Saharei let out a weak scream, and the red veil that barely covered her body shattered into pieces, eliciting gasps of surprise.
She rolled gracefully to cushion the fall, then scrambled to her feet. Demons were indeed known for their uninhibited nature; even covered in mosaics, she showed no shame or anger. Instead, she angrily grabbed a subordinate's cloak, haphazardly draped it over herself, and said, "Everyone, I miscalculated today. We'll meet again sometime! Let's go!"
Liu Qingge sneered, "Coming and going as you please. What a big mouth you have! Dream on!"
He shifted his body, and the Phoenix Sword on his back soared into the sky, drawing hundreds and thousands of tangible sword energies that arranged into a light array, piercing down on the demons like rain and hail.
As Sha Hualing led her troops in a hasty retreat, she twirled the red gauze in her hand into a crimson cloud and tossed it into the sky. Unfortunately, it was no match for the sharp sword energy, and the red gauze was quickly riddled with holes. Coupled with the encirclement by the disciples of the Cangqiong Mountain Sect, most of the demons were either killed, wounded, or captured. Only a small group of loyal followers who closely followed Sha Hualing managed to fight their way out and escape down the mountain.
After sheathing her sword, Liu Qingge turned around with a stern face to examine Shen Qingqiu's injury. The disciples of Qingjing Peak also gathered around. All of their faces were tense.
Shen Qingqiu grinned: "It seems that it was the right choice to keep an eye out and send someone to imitate Aunt Xue and frantically pound the walls of Lingxi Cave to make you howl out."
Liu Qingge: "Who is Aunt Xue?"
Shen Qingqiu: "No one. What about me?"
Liu Qingge snorted, "I won't die for now."
Despite saying that, he continued to channel spiritual energy into Shen Qingqiu's body with his left hand, and his expression grew increasingly serious. He specifically clarified, "What I owed you in the Lingxi Cave, I'm repaying!"
So arrogant!
Shen Qingqiu felt that his plan to recruit Liu Qingge as a teammate seemed very promising, and he was quite satisfied. However, the spasms in his spiritual meridians prevented him from smiling.
Luo Binghe suddenly asked, "Uncle-Master Liu, is the 'incurable' poison truly incurable?"
Liu Qingge glanced at him, but before she could answer, Shen Qingqiu's knees suddenly buckled, and he almost knelt. Fortunately, Luo Binghe was supporting him. But Shen Qingqiu really couldn't stand anymore and waved his hand, saying, "Let me lie down...let me lie down for a while."
Luo Binghe had never seen Shen Qingqiu so weak. With red eyes, he knelt beside Shen Qingqiu, unable to speak, and choked out, "Master."
Shen Qingqiu barely managed to raise an arm, touched his head, and finally managed to spit out a mouthful of blood that he had been holding back for a long time. However, he still insisted on finishing the key lines to boost his favorability.
"I know...you will win."
Upon hearing this, Luo Binghe was visibly shaken.
Shen Qingqiu expressed his understanding.
Luo Binghe must think this guy is a psychopath with a split personality... Seriously, if you look at it from God's perspective, even Shen Qingqiu himself would be unable to stand it and would throw his book down and curse: What kind of character is this? He's fighting one minute and saving the next, is he crazy?!
At this moment, the system issued a notification.
[Shen Qingqiu's character complexity +20, philosophical depth of image +20, suspense level +10, total sophistication +50.]
...Shen Qingqiu was startled. Is this how you calculate the philosophical depth of a character?
Also, please don't enable strange values, thank you!
Shen Qingqiu, whose vision was blurred, looked up and felt as if he saw Luo Binghe's tears falling from his eyes like broken beads.
It's just an illusion.
This was his last thought before he lost consciousness.
