Chapter 8: A slap and a date
The opportunity only lasts for a moment! Shen Qingqiu's pupils shrank!
Just as the palm was about to fall, a beam suddenly broke...
If Shen Qingqiu was still a reader of "The Proud Immortal and Demonic Path" now, he would definitely smash his phone and curse at the nonsense after seeing this.
The system has already stated that the iron rule that will never be broken is that the protagonist will not die. In other words, once the protagonist's life is threatened, the death flag will be triggered!
Shen Qingqiu deliberately instigated Die'er to attack Luo Binghe in order to use this rule to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Although it was not very kind to do so, Luo Binghe would not be threatened at all, and if he did not do so, Shen Qingqiu might have to confess here directly. And by tricking Luo Binghe here and looking at the long term, there would be a chance to improve his favorability in the future.
But.
What do you think of the readers' IQ? How could the beams of a beautiful new house suddenly collapse?
Even if the protagonist is to escape death, the turn is too abrupt. Bad review!
The almost new beam hit Die'er exactly, almost flattening her to the ground, unable to get up. It also bent the pillars that tied up Luo Binghe and Ning Yingying.
Ning Yingying had fainted from fright just now, and Luo Binghe struggled for a while, and then he was inexplicably untied. On the contrary, Shen Qingqiu was still tied to the ground with the immortal rope, and he was silent for a while when he saw Luo Binghe standing beside Die'er who was struggling on the street...
Is that it... over?
Just as he thought this, Dier overturned the beam and jumped up.
He said angrily, "Shen Qingqiu! The people of Cangqiong Mountain Sect are indeed despicable and scheming! What evil tricks did you use just now to frame me like this?"
Shen Qingqiu is really innocent. This has nothing to do with him, really. The biggest culprit should be Luo Binghe.
Die'er insisted, "You are really lying to me, trying to divert my attention so that you can attack me. Otherwise, why would this beam fall down out of nowhere and hit me?"
You have also noticed the irrationality in it, isn't it possible to save your IQ? Shen Qingqiu was a little relieved.
Die'er sneered, "Do you think you can control me like this? Dream on. The immortal rope can only be cut with the immortal sword. You can't break it with ordinary methods."
...I just praised you and you acted stupid again. Don't tell me how to let go of your enemy, dear!
And were you afraid that I wouldn't be able to see where you put the Xiu Ya sword? You even took it out from the waist of your cloak and patted it!
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help it, so he took the time to communicate with the system: "Well... I just want to ask, do all villains take this path?"
The system said: [In order to ensure that you can successfully pass the initial stage mission, after turning on the simple mode, the IQ of the villains is set below the average level. ]
Shen Qingqiu praised it vigorously: "Thank you. I think the design of your simple mode is really very user-friendly. Great review."
Die'er gnashed her teeth and said, "I won't listen to anything you say this time! Die, Shen Qingqiu!"
Shen Qingqiu shouted: "The last sentence!"
Under the power of the simple mode, Dier really stopped: "Do you have any last words?"
Shen Qingqiu thought for a moment and asked, "How does it feel to sleep with a sixty-year-old man?"
"..." While Die'er was so angry that her face was distorted and her whole body was shaking, Luo Binghe behind her suddenly jumped up!
He snatched the Xiu Ya sword that Die'er was wearing at her waist, drew the sword out of the sheath, and the room was filled with clear snow-like light.
A silver shadow passed by, and the immortal ropes on Shen Qingqiu's body broke at the same time.
It was just because Dier, the little boss, didn't have an average IQ in the simple mode. He simply thought Luo Binghe was dead when he was standing behind him.
Dier screamed: "This is impossible——"
Enough! I don't listen! I don't want to listen to the boss's routine speech before his death! Shen Qingqiu's mouth twitched, and he concentrated all his spiritual power in his right hand, and hit Die'er on the chest with a palm. The latter immediately flew out like a kite with a broken string.
This was Shen Qingqiu's first time "killing someone". But he was not soft-hearted at all.
Because firstly, this is a book; secondly, this is a demon that has killed countless people; thirdly, if he doesn’t take action, he will be the one to die.
Shen Qingqiu took a look at the miserable state of "Die'er" with her limbs twisted and blood flowing from her seven orifices, then turned his head and used the above three reasons to fill his mind with bullet screens to brainwash himself.
Luo Binghe's still childish face turned slightly pale.
Shen Qingqiu forced himself to calm down, slowly stood up straight, calmed down, took a deep breath, got into position, and turned to Luo Binghe: "This is the first time you see 'Demon Exorcist'. Are you scared?"
After a pause, he continued: "If you want to 'protect', you must 'eliminate'."
Luo Binghe gritted his teeth and blurted out: "Just now..."
Shen Qingqiu said: "You want to ask, if the roof beam had not suddenly collapsed just now, what would the teacher have planned to do?"
Shen Qingqiu was so dumb that he was eating coptis root. He really wanted to tell Luo Binghe, don't worry, you will definitely not die, the beams will definitely collapse. But can he? !
He could only pretend to be profound and asked, "Are you blaming me?"
Luo Binghe shook his head and said sincerely, "No. It would be an honor for a disciple to sacrifice his life for Master."
...Shen Qingqiu was shocked by the level of his White Lotus!
Shen Qingqiu thought about it and chose a more ambiguous statement.
"Then I will tell you. Even if something happens to me, nothing will happen to you."
This is the truth. Even if Shen Qingqiu died a hundred times, the indestructible protagonist Luo Binghe would still be alive and well!
He looked resolute and calm, without the slightest sign of disobedience, and said in a resounding voice, "There is absolutely no deception on this point."
After hearing this, Luo Binghe seemed to be ignited and upgraded. The sunflower that had just withered a little immediately became full of vitality again. He held the sword in both hands, raised it to the level of his eyebrows, and presented it to Shen Qingqiu respectfully: "Master. Your sword!"
Shen Qingqiu took it.
This kid is really honest now. He must have been so scared just now, but he is back to life in the blink of an eye. It would be great if you were always like this!
Next, the barrage of system prompts made him extremely happy.
[Ning Yingying's favorability increases, the protagonist's satisfaction level increases by +50]
[Obtain the advanced item 'Immortal Binding Rope', villain strength +30]
[Complete the primary stage mission, B-level +200. OOC function is unlocked. From now on, you can fully control the control of the 'Shen Qingqiu' account. Congratulations! Please keep up the good work. ]
Shen Qingqiu was beginning to like the ups and downs of gambling.
From now on, you can finally embark on the great and glorious task of clinging to the male protagonist!
The first thing he did after returning to Cangqiong Mountain Sect was to climb up the Qiongding Peak guarded by the Sect Master and report his work to Yue Qingyuan.
On the way there, Shen Qingqiu once again felt that this head brother was just an NPC who issued tasks. However, this feeling disappeared without a trace after he stepped into the mountain gate.
Before he even stepped into the hall, Yue Qingyuan came up with the disciples from Qiongding Peak behind him. As soon as the two of them met, he grabbed Shen Qingqiu's pulse with his right hand. Shen Qingqiu was startled at first, then saw that Yue Qingyuan did not make any more moves, but instead concentrated on observing carefully, and injected a weak spiritual flow, and knew that he was just checking the spiritual state of his body, and he was completely relieved.
Yue Qingyuan saw that the spiritual energy was flowing correctly and there seemed to be no damage, so he let go of his hand, smiled and walked into the hall with Shen Qingqiu. He asked: "How was the experience?"
His behavior and tone, like that of an elder brother in the family, made Shen Qingqiu feel warm in his heart, and even his frustrated words didn’t sound so frustrated anymore: “It’s not satisfactory.”
The disciples didn't even see the shadow of the skin-peeling demon, and all of them were left to Shen Qingqiu to level up and gain points. From the perspective of training disciples, it was indeed unsatisfactory.
Yue Qingyuan said: "There is no rush."
Shen Qingqiu nodded, and suddenly changed the subject: "Master Brother, I want to go into seclusion in Lingxi Cave on the back mountain of Qiongding Peak."
Qiongding Peak, as the head of the twelve peaks, naturally gathers the essence of heaven and earth. Lingxi Cave is the best place for cultivation in Qiongding Peak, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, the elders or outstanding disciples in the sect can ask the headmaster to enter the cave for cultivation and seclusion. Only with the headmaster's approval can the application be approved.
Shen Qingqiu wanted to go to Lingxi Cave for retreat, so Yue Qingyuan certainly wouldn't object. He asked, "Is it to prepare for the Immortal Alliance Conference?"
Shen Qingqiu said: "That's right."
In fact, it was not only because the plot of the Immortal Alliance Conference required him to have real strength, but there were many more complicated reasons.
This skin peeling incident made Shen Qingqiu realize the importance of practicing well.
In this world, only those who have strength are qualified to think about the future.
Moreover, Yue Qingyuan really had nothing to say to him. Even if it was to reverse the outcome of Shen Qingqiu directly killing Yue Qingyuan, Shen Qingqiu had to think carefully about his future life.
From now on, he will take a more proactive attitude to control the plot.
Before the retreat, Shen Qingqiu called Luo Binghe over and gave him the correct entry-level skills.
Luo Binghe took the Heart Sutra and asked, "Master, why did you give me a completely different Heart Sutra?"
Shen Qingqiu calmly said nonsense: "Your physique is different, you can't practice according to the general mental method of our sect."
He didn't want to expose the truth about Ming Fan giving Luo Binghe a fake mental method so soon. Although it would be exposed sooner or later, the longer it was delayed, the better.
Looking at Shen Qingqiu's receding back, Luo Binghe held the book of mental skills in his hand, and his heart was greatly shaken.
This is the Dharma that Master gave to him alone!
Shen Qingqiu had no idea that Luo Binghe had made a huge misunderstanding...
