Chapter 3 The Nature of a Scumbag
How can I describe this feeling...?
It's like thinking you have a beautiful butterfly, but what you actually have is an ugly fluttering moth.
The seller's show and the buyer's show feature an exquisite contrast.
Bai Xiaoxiao hugged the thick tree trunk for a long time, unable to recover from the shock. She couldn't accept the fact that the main couple of the book she was about to imagine were actually a pair of passers-by. The carefully selected good rice was exchanged for chaff...
Who the hell can stand this!
She hugged the tree trunk, slapping and scratching. Que Tianwen, sword slung over his shoulder, stared at Bai Xiaoxiao intently, as if she were a psychopath. "Are you okay?"
"Good...very good...very good..."
Bai Xiaoxiao murmured these three words in a low voice as if she had lost her soul. She sighed deeply from the bottom of her heart and raised an expression that seemed to be neither crying nor smiling towards Que Tianwen: "Que...Brother, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"What's that expression on your face?"
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao's somewhat sinister smile, Que Tianwen felt a chill in his heart. He frowned and made an impatient "tsk" sound, but then he seemed to remember something and reached out to her: "Don't rush to explain, just give me the thing first."
Bai Xiaoxiao was a little confused: "Explain what...?"
"Chongling Xianzhi, have you forgotten?" Que Tianwen looked at her straight in the eye this time. "I won't mind your behavior just now, but you know that the path of immortal cultivation is my bottom line. If you want to joke about such an important matter, then I will be really angry."
"ah……?"
Bai Xiaoxiao was really confused. Although she didn't know what Chongling Xianzhi was, it was obvious that it belonged to the original owner. It was the first time she saw someone asking for something so confidently.
"No, you...hiss!"
The subconscious retort caused another heartache. Bai Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and swallowed the rest of the words. It turned out that what Sanliu said about maintaining the character was not a warning but advice. This task restriction was really stupid. She knew that the 8 million bonus was not easy to get!
"What did you say?"
Que Tianwen looked at her with a frown. He found that Bai Xiaoxiao was very different today and she contradicted him again and again.
"I say!" Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and raised her voice, "You are so good, so handsome, I like you so much!"
The angina disappeared.
Que Tianwen: "Hey! I understand your feelings, but a girl should still be reserved. There's no need to be so public. Just give me the Chongling Xianzhi."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "No!... Well, I mean not now."
Que Tianwen frowned, "But you said two days ago that you had already paid a large sum of money to buy the Chongling Xianzhi and planned to hand it over to me today. How could it be gone?"
Bai Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "Indeed... I bought it for a large sum of money, but something happened recently, so I haven't kept the Chongling Xianzhi with me. Wait for me to go back and look for it. I'll give it to you when I find it."
"Alright."
Que Tianwen nodded without hesitation, and saw Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly raise the corners of her lips and smile gently. He stretched out his slender fingertips to touch her face, which made Bai Xiaoxiao open her eyes wide and dared not move.
"Xiaoxiao, you know, tomorrow is the Wuliang Sect's enrollment test. I'm cultivating so hard not for anything else, but to give you a better future. This Chongling Xianzhi can nourish my spiritual roots and make me more confident in the test. You will help me, right?"
"Besides, I won't blame you for what happened to Senior Brother Qi Rong."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "Ah...?"
Que Tianwen continued, "Senior Brother Qi Rong was the one who helped the Third Elder formulate the assessment. I know you sent the cakes to curry favor with him so you could find out about the assessment content. But don't worry, even if you didn't do that, I wouldn't blame you."
Bai Xiaoxiao:……?
Who the hell is to blame?
…
…
The goose yellow gauze curtains were gently lifted and lowered, the round tables and chairs made of golden nanmu were neatly arranged, and a pot of fragrant purple orchid was quietly basking in the sun on the windowsill.
but……
"Three sixes, get out here!"
Bai Xiaoxiao punched the soft mat on the bed, and a book with wings emitting a blue halo fluttered out. Although there was no facial expression or demeanor, Bai Xiaoxiao could feel some kind of flattery and fawning.
"What trouble are you in, dear?"
Bai Xiaoxiao grabbed it and said, "Explain it to me! Why is my personality set to be love-brained?! Why didn't you choose such a good guy over a jerk?! Why is the couple I just found dead?! And most importantly... why didn't you tell me earlier that my heart aches when I start cursing?!!!"
Too many...
There are really too many complaints!
System 666's wings drooped from the shaking. It struggled to free itself from Bai Xiaoxiao's grip, flapping its wings and flying a short distance away. It coughed softly, "Ah, these are just some insignificant little incidents. Think about the reward after completing the mission, think about the eight million fund, don't you suddenly feel that these little incidents are nothing~"
Bai Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: "If I had known that my personality was so love-brained, I would have hesitated no matter how many tens of thousands you offered me."
Unless it’s one hundred million!
She paused for a moment, her eyes suddenly darkening as she glanced at 666. "Are you really afraid I won't accept the mission, so you didn't tell me?"
"Ahem!" 666 coughed harshly. "How, how could that be? I've always advocated honest cooperation and mutual assistance. And you're already doing very well on your mission. It's been less than a day and you've already run into Qi Rong. I believe in your abilities. Keep going ヾ(°°)"
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at the emoticon package formed by 666 with disgust.
but……
Qi Rong, the third disciple under the heroine, is also an indispensable figure in the original book, an important tonic whose inner energy was taken away, oh no... one of the important male supporting characters.
Seeing that Bai Xiaoxiao had calmed down, 666 pressed on, "So, if you just work harder and get Que Tianwen to become the heroine's disciple, and they develop a crush on each other, then those three tasks will be easily accomplished sooner or later. And you'll easily get the eight million yuan bonus."
"You're right."
Bai Xiaoxiao held her cheek and agreed with him for the first time: "Ant meat is still meat. We can't deny its strength just because it's small in quantity."
666:?
Bai Xiaoxiao sighed softly, got up and rummaged through the drawers. Finally, she found an exquisite box from under the pillow. Inside was a snow-white medicinal herb that looked like Polygonum multiflorum, but had a layer of fine, hairy whiskers.
"This is Chonglingxianzhi! It's an excellent tonic that can replenish blood, dissipate blood stasis, strengthen the body, cleanse the spiritual roots, and replenish spiritual power. It's truly priceless."
Before Bai Xiaoxiao asked any questions, 666 couldn't wait to introduce the functions and effects. But the more Bai Xiaoxiao listened, the less happy she felt after obtaining the spiritual treasure. Instead, she felt a sense of reluctance and melancholy.
Such a good thing is totally wasted on some people...
