Chapter 27 Memory Trial - Part 1 (1) Fu Li: "I am very pleased..."
After clicking the icon, you are first met with endless darkness.
He Yuan blinked, and lines of text appeared in front of her, requiring her to read them for three minutes before she could click on them.
[I. During the trial, time in the outside world will be suspended indefinitely.]
That's good; he doesn't have to worry about missing out on things happening outside because of the long time.
[II. Everything within the Trial Realm is an illusion; do not become addicted.]
Yes, yes, he knows that.
Just like a game, games are also virtual.
[III. Once you enter, you must complete the game perfectly before you can leave.]
...He was already inside when I told him this.
There were some minor hints at the end, which He Yuan quickly read and summarized.
Similar to a holographic RPG game, it doesn't offer much freedom at crucial moments, but it excels in its clear objectives. It mainly serves as an internal assessment, enriching the game's entertainment value while allowing players to understand the concept of the Star Gods and depicting their past stories.
So it's clear that the [Memory] Trial showed him the past story of the [Memory] Star God Fu Li.
Crane Kite clicked "OK" with great interest.
The darkness before him began to recede, and a clear sky unfolded before him, with the clouds seemingly within reach.
He is on a spaceship.
Before He Yuan could figure out what was going on, someone pulled him behind him.
"Don't do anything foolish," a clear, youthful voice came from behind. "If you fall from here, you'll be reduced to ashes."
He Yuan didn't struggle. She retreated with his force and carefully examined the boy who had reminded her.
The boy was dressed in blue, with his long hair tied up, and his attire was very similar to that of what is known as "ancient times".
In ancient times, there were flying boats, plus his words and the undiscovered sense of technology...
This is a world view based on cultivation.
Players often say that the Immortal Boat Alliance in the game is completely set in a cyberpunk cultivation world, but they never expected that they would actually be in a cultivation world now.
Perhaps He Yuan's taciturn nature led the boy to misunderstand something, as the other looked at him with disappointment.
"Although you don't have spiritual roots and have been given a furnace physique, with your talent, if you're lucky enough to befriend some powerful figure, wouldn't the elixirs to help you grow spiritual roots be a piece of cake? So why put on this melancholy look?"
Uh-huh? !
A furnace or cauldron?
He Yuan had read cultivation novels and played a few idle games, so she naturally knew what a "furnace" was.
Dual cultivation using a furnace and cauldron differs from ordinary dual cultivation. In ordinary dual cultivation, both parties benefit together, while the furnace and cauldron cultivate one's own vital energy for the other to absorb and cultivate. Not only does it not bring benefit, but it can also lead to regression.
The furnace/cauldron does not yet possess any spiritual roots.
This is a disastrous start.
It's even worse than his real-world situation.
He Yuan clicked her tongue inwardly, but didn't show it on her face, which made the young man leave bored.
The other party is probably an NPC who provides worldview and identity information; there's nothing to worry about.
As if confirming his suspicions, this mission also came to fruition.
[Task 1: Please perform the most exciting plot]
[Task Two: Explore More Possibilities]
It does have a lot of the style of [Memory] Star God.
The purest memory in the world is more all-encompassing: it records everything, without prejudice or bias; it selflessly preserves every basic fact and every beautiful aspect; it is a river formed by the confluence of endless life, a treasure trove built from ancient wisdom.
— This is an evaluation of the [Memory] Star God Fu Li from a think tank.
This is a star god who likes to collect memories, and memories can be either boring or interesting.
The score for the trial is probably also related to how exciting it is.
In a short time, He Yuan quickly came up with a plan.
The boy in blue said something that represents a path.
The crane can climb to a high branch, please that branch, and obtain resources.
But he doesn't like doing that.
Why make yourself angry when playing games?
He Yuan looked at the platform in front of her, took a few quick steps, and jumped down gracefully.
More possibilities mean taking unconventional paths.
Crane Kite turned the pain level down to the lowest setting and crashed into the deserted wilderness.
He was a cauldron meant to be consumed, so naturally no one came to rescue him.
The crane kite successfully "died".
In the world of cultivation, death is not the end, but rather another beginning.
As night fell, the crane and the kite became "ghosts".
His physical condition also changed accordingly.
In this worldview, a person with an undiminished primordial yang energy who has become a ghost can cultivate by relying on the yang energy of humans.
This coincided with He Yuan's idea.
A compelling story cannot be told by one person alone; the destination the flying boat is heading to likely contains a "high branch" that he needs to climb.
However, now it's time for a "higher branch" to come looking for him.
Crane Kite smiled as she slipped into town after town, weaving dreams according to the methods she was born with, drawing upon the yang energy needed for her cultivation.
The cultivation world emphasizes cause and effect.
Crane Kite's martial arts attributes have been partially restricted, but other attributes remain at their original level.
A little bit of positive energy can bring inspiration or guidance in other areas.
Gradually, rumors about the "Iris Fairy" began to spread.
Legend has it that if you have any questions in the mortal world, you can place three irises by your bedside before going to sleep, and a fairy will appear in your dream to guide you.
Because the initial outfit was the only one available, and the wardrobe was locked, Crane Kite: "..."
Help him, help him! Why are these people mistaking his gender?!
As your fame spreads, it seems someone has taken notice of you.
The event panel, which usually only announces things like "Yang Qi +1" and "Cultivation +1", suddenly displayed this message.
The show is about to begin.
Crane Kite glanced around, then proceeded as usual to the vicinity of the next person making a wish, before slowly drifting into a dream.
He sensed the presence of cultivators nearby, but he was not afraid.
These few people can't do anything to him.
Currently... his mission level in these sects is probably the lowest one.
They probably thought they were a "female ghost" whose dying wish had not been fulfilled.
Thinking of this, He Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Fairy, which shop do you think I should choose?"
He Yuan glanced at the prices of these shops and chose the best one for him.
As the dream was about to dissipate, several disciples who had been lying in ambush unleashed their magical treasures, attempting to subdue him.
The fairy, veiled and dressed in moon-white robes, seemed unaffected, moving gracefully with a wave of her hand.
The magical artifacts all malfunctioned and fell to the ground, and several disciples also suffered backlash, appearing half-dead.
He Yuan originally intended to leave directly, but after glancing at these people, another idea came to him.
He healed the disciples' injuries and carefully put the magical artifacts back, making it seem as if nothing had happened.
On subsequent occasions, He Yuan followed the same method.
Gradually, the rumors turned into—
The Iris Fairy is skilled at bewitching people; disciples with unstable Daoist hearts should not be sent out.
Crane Kite: "?"
He swore he did nothing, he just wanted to provoke them.
Since the capture attempt failed, his mission level couldn't be raised.
After dealing with wave after wave of increasingly powerful cultivators, the system finally sent a message.
The major sects are helpless against you and have joined forces to petition the Heavenly Venerable of the Lingxiao Sect to come out of seclusion and subdue you.
Alright, according to the law, this celestial being is the actor who is acting opposite him.
He Yuan guessed that if he took the normal route to the Lingxiao Sect, he would probably be taken away by this Heavenly Venerable.
If the process is a bit complicated, then add a few NPCs.
He arrived at his next destination with great enthusiasm.
*
An ordinary day in Linchang Town.
The town's inn welcomed a very special guest.
—Cultivators from the Upper Realm.
Over the past few months, a message has been circulating everywhere.
A "Fairy Iris" appeared in the human world, offering guidance in dreams and inspiring people to pursue her.
The celestial beings sent people to investigate and discovered that this "fairy" was not a fairy at all, but a ghost that had been transformed after a person died, and that she fed on yang energy.
However, the news only fueled the enthusiasm of the human world.
Many talented and romantic men wrote poems and biographies about her, speculating on the fairy's origins.
It was completely different from what the cultivation world had expected.
The innkeeper, as usual, collected the money and booked the room, and said considerately, "A few days ago, Master Wang's son went to great lengths to find a bunch of irises, saying that he wanted to meet the fairy in a dream and ask her for pleasure."
I don't even know how many waves this is.
When the cultivator heard the last sentence, he gave him a cold look.
The innkeeper felt a chill run down his spine, and when he looked again, the corridor was completely empty.
*
At night, the once quiet inn was filled with noise.
The cultivators set out to encircle and suppress the enemy as planned, but before they even stepped out of their rooms, they received a telepathic message.
Don't go, I'll go.
The signature is that of the Heavenly Venerable of the Lingxiao Sect.
That's really none of their business.
No one knows the name of the Celestial Venerable, since no one calls him that.
He went out in the evening breeze and arrived at the home of Master Wang.
The overly strong aroma filled his nostrils, causing him to frown.
Irises of all colors were everywhere. The young master Wang had bought all the irises in the town to pray that the Iris Fairy would stay a little longer.
He concealed himself and waited for his target to arrive.
Soon, a white figure appeared gracefully.
A gentle breeze lifted the long curtain that reached her ankles, revealing a slender waist.
The ordinary curtains could not block his view, allowing him to see the person's face clearly.
This also confirmed to him that the other person was a man.
He certainly has a handsome appearance. This thought suddenly popped into his head.
Even if it exists, it won't change the purpose of his trip.
The Celestial Venerable is the strongest being in the Upper Realm, and is about to break through destiny and ascend to immortality.
The few months that He Yuan had been cultivating were far from enough.
But it's nighttime now.
Almost the instant she realized it, He Yuan immediately fled to a deserted wilderness.
This place has abundant yin energy, which is an advantageous location for him.
We don't know who the visitor is.
He Yuan muttered to herself as she opened the event panel.
Aside from the last incident that surfaced, there has been no news for a long time.
He couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level, but he could give it a try.
At night, it's quite easy for a ghost to escape.
The mission stated that the task was to create a "wonderful" storyline.
It wouldn't be exciting if they just got caught like that.
With layers of arrays laid out, and the magical treasures he had collected over the past few months also on his head, Crane Kite sat on the tree trunk, waiting for his prey to fall into the net.
The young man sitting in the tree gently swung his ankles, making a "ding-a-ling" sound.
The person who entered the formation had an incomparably handsome appearance, but he exuded a cold aura that made people afraid to approach him.
Coincidentally, He Yuan is a ghost and likes cold, icy things.
He jumped down from the tree, hooked his arm around the newcomer's neck from behind, and whispered, "What's your name? Are you married?"
The other party must answer this question.
The other person seemed to pause for a moment, and the words they originally intended to say took a different turn and changed.
“Li Fu, I… my name is Li Fu.”
What an ordinary name.
He Yuan walked around in confusion, carefully examining the man's face.
strangeness.
With a face like that, her name shouldn't be so ordinary.
He asked, "Is this your real name?"
Li Fu seemed puzzled, then stammered, "My former name was Da Niu."
Hmm... Li Fu isn't such an ordinary name either.
"Is that immortal master married?"
As He Yuan spoke, she slowly moved closer and gently sniffed the scent of the other person's neck.
This immortal... smells delicious.
It's also very nourishing.
They look like core disciples; staying behind could be used as bait to catch bigger fish.
Li Fu shook his head. "No."
He Yuan was relieved.
His principle is not to date someone who already has a partner.
"Immortal, are you here to arrest me?"
He gently lifted Li Fu's long hair behind his back with his hand.
Li Fu shook his head and said something seemingly unrelated: "Young Master Wang has ill intentions."
He Yuan chuckled, "Then, Immortal Master, would you like to come with me?"
Li Fu stared at him intently and nodded.
*
He Yuan led Li Fu back to their temporary base—an abandoned mansion.
The size and design of the residence still hint at its former glory.
But none of this has anything to do with cranes and kites.
He's just a ghost living here.
After settling Li Fu down, He Yuan sat opposite him and slowly sized him up.
"The immortal lord didn't come to arrest me, but now he's following me. Could it be that he likes me?"
Li Fu: "Yes, I like you."
His voice sounded very calm, and his eyes were icy cold.
He Yuan had some doubts, but when she saw the other party's level of favorability, she felt relieved.
I guess he was born with facial paralysis.
"Does that immortal cultivator practice the Path of Heartlessness?"
He Yuan thought that although the graduation rate of the Ruthless Path was very low, it would be better for him to cause less trouble.
Li Fu looks like a promising candidate for cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness.
"no."
He Yuan was relieved.
He moved closer, slowly pressing against Li Fu's body, his fingers slipping inside his collar, exposing a section of his neck.
"Then, Immortal Master, could I have a bite?"
The young male ghost blinked, his eyes pleading, "I haven't eaten in a long time."
He was a picky and principled ghost who only consumed a little bit of dissipated yang energy and had never drunk blood or tasted the yang energy of a cultivator.
Li Fu relaxed his body, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"You eat it."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Crane Kite bit into her neck.
Teeth sink into flesh, blood swells in the mouth, emitting a rich aroma.
tasty.
A hand reached out and wrapped around He Yuan's waist, pulling him closer.
Li Fu used his other hand to press down on the back of the young man's head.
It was as if inviting He Yuan to go a little deeper.
He Yuan didn't stand on ceremony either.
With the mindset that there might not be another meal after this one, they didn't stop eating until they were full.
He licked his lips and thoughtfully used his tongue to lick the blood off his neck, allowing the wound to slowly heal.
"Thank you, Immortal Master! I'm going into seclusion now!"
He Yuan patted Li Fu on the shoulder, then turned and went back to her room.
When he discovered that his cultivation level could lead to an increase in attributes and that he could transfer his cultivation experience, the nature of this trial changed.
Even if he loses this time, his attributes won't revert to their original state.
Of course, we should take advantage of it and start swiping as soon as possible!
Li Fu: "?"
He stared blankly as the young man left, then looked at his outstretched hand that he wanted to pull back the crane kite, and at the fabric of his clothes that showed obvious undulations.
Didn't you want to eat him?
*
He Yuan remained in seclusion for a full week before emerging.
The first thing I did after coming out was to check if Li Fu was still there.
If you are there, inhale again; if you are not, go outside and inhale yang energy.
Anyway, he didn't intend to keep the person here.
He went to Li Fu's room and found him meditating.
He Yuan thoughtfully waited until the other person finished before coming in, and asked expectantly, "Can I eat again?"
...
They ate and then left.
Li Fu lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
He wasn't short of blood, but what he wanted, He Yuan never gave him.
Or perhaps, He Yuan never even considered this aspect; he had misunderstood.
He misunderstood that He Yuan wanted to have sex with him, and readily agreed.
Should we... give a hint?
*
When He Yuan came again, Li Fu asked him, "Don't you think cultivating by absorbing blood is too slow?"
No way.
He Yuan said bluntly, "It will take me several days to digest just your blood. If there is more than that, I won't be able to absorb it all."
His current cultivation level is not high; if he becomes too greedy, he might explode and die.
Li Fu: "My vital energy is still intact, and it is a great tonic for you."
Crane Kite: "...Huh?"
But all he wanted was a blood pack that would allow him to cultivate steadily.
The main reason is that He Yuan experienced the downsides of being promiscuous before entering the trial, and she intends to stick to her bottom line and not make any promises lightly.
"No, no, no, Yuan Yang is precious. I've heard that if you cultivators still have Yuan Yang, your cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds."
Li Fu replied, "Even without my vital essence, I can still travel a thousand miles a day."
He Yuan chuckled twice and made up an excuse to slip away.
No... Even if the level of affection is very high, it shouldn't be to the point of giving oneself away after not even spending a day together, right?
Moreover, they only exchanged a few words of greeting before sucking blood, and didn't talk about anything else at all.
If this were a non-holographic eroge, He Yuan might gladly accept it and then enjoy the CG beautifully.
In short, this place is no longer safe to stay.
Crane Kite swiftly fled to another town and began searching for prey.
Night has fallen once again.
Crane and Kite arrived at the courtyard where three irises were enshrined.
As soon as they entered, they were tied up with a thin rope.
He wanted to escape, but the ground here was set up with a formation, preventing him from getting away.
A figure emerged from the shadows.
It is Li Fu.
He looked at He Yuan quietly. "Why are you leaving?"
Why would you absorb someone else's yang energy while rejecting their primordial yang?
Seeing this, He Yuan said decisively, "I don't like you, so what would I do with your virginity?"
Li Fu: "I understand."
With that, he loosened the ropes binding the crane, dispelled the formation, and vanished from the spot.
baffling.
With tonight's plans disrupted, He Yuan lost interest and went straight back to her residence to rest.
*
Crane Kite moved to another location.
This time, he carefully checked the surroundings for any traces of cultivators before cautiously taking his first bite of food.
When he returned to his seaside residence, he smelled a very fragrant aroma.
It's different from Li Fu's.
Crane Kite packed all the magical treasures she had accumulated and slipped away to the beach.
There was something sparkling on the yellow sand, radiating a dreamy glow.
It looks like a fish tail.
Crane Kite slowly approached and discovered that this was a mermaid stranded on the shore.
It still breathes.
He tapped the other person's face and used a minor spell to give them a simple treatment.
The silver-haired merman slowly opened his eyes, the colors in his pupils as vibrant as a fish tail.
"Do you want to go back to the sea?" Crane Kite asked. "I can help you."
The merman seemed frightened, shaking his head desperately, his pale face making him all the more pitiful.
He Yuan reached out her hand to him, "Then do you want to come back with me?"
He should be able to afford to support a merman.
“I can take you in first, but in return, you must give me your blood.”
The merman seemed unable to speak, but could only nod vigorously.
His fish tail transformed into legs, and he followed the crane kite's steps, trembling.
It wasn't until he stood up that He Yuan realized—
That merman is much taller than him!
*
As the saying goes, don't pick up men on the street.
However, this only applies to reality. In games, if it appears, it usually means that an opportunity or a target for romance has come knocking.
Mermaids are very easy to take care of as roommates. All Crane and Kite need to do is catch some fish for him to eat at night, and he will have an obedient blood pack.
Once again, I'm living a life where I don't have to go out to eat.
On this day, He Yuan finished drinking the blood as usual, drew the curtains, and prepared to catch up on sleep during the day.
After he fell asleep, the merman he kept in the large fish tank suddenly came out and walked steadily to the bedside, completely unlike his unsteady gait these past few days.
The mermaid climbed onto the bed, skillfully unbuttoned He Yuan's clothes, and gently and tenderly kissed the young man.
The skin on her hands flushed with a spring-like hue; she ate every last bit of the fruit on the cream, and left nothing behind for the surrounding area.
He carefully studied what he saw in the youth's memories, found the points that made people feel comfortable, and led this sleeping body step by step to the peak.
Ghosts have their advantages too.
The spiritual bodies they cultivated left no trace, which actually made it easier for Fu Li to carry out his schemes.
He wouldn't reveal himself until He Yuan "liked" him.
After eating late into the night once again, Fu Li licked his lips and recalled the way He Yuan was kissed by that white-haired man.
Like a flower that has bloomed to the point of decay, its petals crushed to release sweet juice.
Fu Li couldn't resist, so he lowered his head and swallowed it.
Crane Kite had already reacted. As he bit and licked her, her whole body curled up like a boiled shrimp, her small mouth opening to breathe.
However, Fu Li wasn't as useless as that white-haired man; the duck that was almost in his grasp flew away.
After swallowing it, he began to eat the tears from the corner of the young man's eyes.
Delicious with deep emotion.
He Yuan was filled with intense emotions, including simple desires and unfathomable feelings.
It wasn't until dusk that Fu Li reluctantly got out of bed, cleaned He Yuan's body, and then retreated back into the fish tank.
With the moon high in the sky, He Yuan stretched and relaxed on the bed.
Strange, I feel like I get lower back pain very easily lately.
I also get sleepy easily.
He yawned and went to the beach to catch a net full of seafood for the merfolk.
After the merman finishes eating, he will get up and walk to the bedside, obediently letting him suck his blood.
After you finish inhaling, it's time to digest and cultivate.
Finally, go to sleep.
This went on day after day for a month, until the merman suddenly asked him, "Do you like me?"
He Yuan was stunned for a moment, then went to check his favorability rating.
Is it full? Is it because of the baby bird complex?
“I have no other feelings for you,” He Yuan said truthfully.
He felt he was probably going to have to go back to his old ways of foraging for food.
Mermaid: "Oh."
He didn't say anything and obediently shrank back into the fish tank.
A month later, the mermaid brought him a bouquet of flowers or a pile of pearls every day, looking at him with affectionate eyes.
He asked again, "Do you like me?"
He Yuan thought for a moment, "What do you like about me?"
Mermaid: "I like everything."
I love your beautiful memories, I love your vibrant emotions, I love every part of you.
"So, after we're together, what will you do with me?"
He Yuan tapped her arm, where a bunch of mottled, blurred marks appeared.
The old and new alternate, the colors gradually change and become chaotic.
“You’re only after my looks,” He Yuan said. “If you really liked me, you shouldn’t have done this to me without my permission.”
The merman seemed to understand: "I understand."
He Yuan left behind the pearls and flowers given to him by the mermaids and moved to another town.
Located on the border between the celestial realm and the demon realm, Chengjiadao is a place where all sorts of people mingle, making it a good place to hide oneself.
The big fish I expected hasn't taken the bait yet, so let's find a place to strengthen ourselves and improve our attributes first.
*
He Yuan thrived in Chengjiadao, leaving behind the events of the previous two encounters.
After attending the auction that day, he disappeared without a trace.
As they turned the corner, they did not discover any pre-set formations.
He Yuan and someone who looked like a demonic cultivator were drawn into an illusion created by the array.
After I fell to the ground, a hand suddenly reached out in front of me.
"My name is Shen Ming. What's your name?"
Are all demonic cultivators these days so outgoing and familiar with each other?
But considering my identity as a ghost cultivator... it's not surprising.
They were all regarded as heretics and evil by the righteous.
"Heyuan, that's my name."
After exchanging names, the two tacitly separated to investigate.
The illusion was a boundless sea of flowers, but He Yuan's spirit was unaffected by it. At most, she felt that the smell was too strong and heavy, making it a little hard to breathe.
But Shenming seems to have been greatly affected.
His face flushed, his breathing became rapid, and his dark eyes turned crimson.
Almost instantly, he pushed He Yuan to the ground and then pressed himself on top of her.
He Yuan reached out and slapped him twice to bring him to his senses, then immediately slipped away.
Shenming seemed to realize his rudeness, so he kept his distance from him and tinkered with things for a while before returning.
He Yuan twitched her nose and looked at him with a bit of a strange expression.
"you……"
You didn't lose any of your vital essence, how did you manage to do that?
Out of consideration for the man's self-esteem, He Yuan didn't say anything.
He discovered a few key points in the formation, played a few rounds of mini-games, and then broke the formation.
It's a very crude formation, relying entirely on surprise.
Several habitual robbers were guarding the area, but He Yuan quickly dispatched them.
He glanced at the demonic cultivator beside him, nodded in acknowledgment, and then prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Shen Ming called out to him, her face slightly flushed. "Could I leave a contact jade token?"
Crane Kite: "Huh?"
Seriously? He admits he's charming and has a really good-looking face, but can you please stop being so ridiculous?
He said seriously to Shenming, "I don't talk about men with erectile dysfunction."
*
Chenming, also known as Fuli, is contemplating important matters of life.
He seems to have been misunderstood by the person he likes as being incapable.
He thought for a moment and then used the jade token to summon a disciple.
"Do you know how to please someone and make them like you?"
The jade plaque is engraved with the two characters "Lingxiao" and is made of a material that only cultivators of sect leader or higher rank can possess.
The disciple was startled and thought to himself: "A person of such status actually has to worry about such things."
The Lingxiao Sect is the number one sect in the cultivation world. The Venerable One in front of us has an outstanding appearance and his cultivation level is among the top three. Yet he is still troubled by love.
"In my opinion, winning someone's favor is simply a matter of catering to their preferences."
Simply put, it means giving the other person a gift they like.
Fu Li seemed to be deep in thought.
*
He Yuan encountered that demonic cultivator once again.
When Shenming saw him, he slipped a storage bag into his hand.
"These are treasures I've accumulated, and you can use them all."
Crane Kite: "..."
Is he truly a ghost cultivator rather than a demon cultivator? Or is he actually a seductive ghost?
He stated bluntly, "I've said it before, I won't talk about it—"
Shenming looked at him with a wronged expression: "I'm not."
It was hard to imagine a grown man making such an expression, which made He Yuan feel a little more affection for him.
Even if you weren't, it would still be hard for me to like you.
Too stubborn and naive, it's hard to communicate with them.
It follows almost the same pattern as the previous two.
……etc?
Crane Kite suddenly spoke up, "Have we met before?"
Shenming: "No."
He Yuan looked him over for a while, then sighed, "Actually, I once had someone I liked, but they were infatuated with me and climbed into my bed late at night, which made me sad."
"His appearance... is rare in the world."
"What if he reappears and corrects this habit?" Shenming asked rather eagerly.
After asking the question, he realized his mistake was too obvious and tried to cover it up by saying, "How does my appearance compare to his? I don't have his flaws."
He Yuan looked at him and shook her head, "Your appearance is not to my liking."
How could that be!
This is clearly something he's seen and memorized, and he sculpted it according to that style!
Shenming was very unconvinced, but Heyuan had no intention of communicating with him anymore.
He had no choice but to leave, transforming back into his mermaid form, and one night, he knocked on He Yuan's door.
He Yuan glanced at him and stepped aside to gesture for him to come in.
Upon entering the room, the young man turned and looked him over, then abruptly asked, "Is Li Fu also you?"
It was a question, but He Yuan's tone was very confident.
After all, along the way, he only encountered three people who "fell in love with him at first sight" and kept pursuing him. These three people also had many things in common.
"You set up the illusion to prove that you won't act impulsively again."
He Yuan looked at him expressionlessly.
Even after being exposed, Fu Li's expression remained unchanged; he was still calm and unhurried.
He readily admitted, "Yes, they are all me."
I like you.
Crane Kite: "Oh."
He looked coldly at Fu Li, "But I have no feelings for you."
That's the truth.
He could see every aspect of Fu Li in other people, so liking him didn't seem particularly novel.
Stamp collectors think.
Fu Li: "I have strong feelings for you."
Fu Li: "I like you very much."
Crane Kite: "So what's your name?"
How can someone who won't even tell you their real name and keeps changing to a pseudonym dare to say they like you?
"You were already out of the game the first time you lied to me."
“Fu Li, my name is Fu Li.”
Fu Li lowered his eyes. "I did not mean to deceive you."
At that moment, he suddenly felt that if he revealed his identity directly, He Yuan might immediately disappear from this world.
He Yuan had always wanted to see him.
But after seeing him, Fu Li will have to face separation.
Fuli.
The name of the [Memory] Star God in the think tank.
He Yuan originally thought that the person he was going to fish out in this world would be at most a special NPC, but he didn't expect it to be Fu Li himself.
Indeed, memories in which the Star God participated are definitely memories worth treasuring.
Looking back on the events of the past four months, He Yuan herself can only describe them as "wonderful".
Who would have thought that the high and mighty Celestial Venerable would actually disguise himself with three identities for love?
And he failed at every identity.
Crane Kite laughed without any politeness.
He tapped on the table. "Don't you know how to pursue someone?"
It feels like I've stepped on every landmine.
Fu Li nodded generously, showing no sign of guilt.
He Yuan thought it was time to give the story an ending.
He adjusted the curtain above his head, a sense of hesitation creeping into his heart—
What kind of ending would the Star God of Memory prefer?
"Fu Li, what kind of ending do you like?" He Yuan paused, "About us."
Fu Li: "A divine couple."
I like this ending.
He Yuan understood. "Then I'll demonstrate for you. This time, you can't make any mistakes."
-----------------------
Author's note: I will try not to drag it out. The next chapter will be the final chapter, and the martial arts ceremony will be moved forward.
Li Fu is simply Fu Li reversed.
"沉冥" is a variant of "浮" (floating) and "黎" (dawn) in relation to "冥".
