Chapter 23 The Divine Dance
"Didn't you fail in your rebellion? Why are you still here?" A familiar voice rang in my ears.
The Prince of Pingnan thought he would be surprised, or even secretly pleased. But when he actually heard those words, he felt a chill run through his body, so cold that his teeth chattered uncontrollably.
"You can recognize us?" the elder brother's voice rang out.
He wanted to stop them, but couldn't speak.
"Of course I can tell them apart, it's a piece of cake."
The voice that had once captivated him now only filled him with fear.
The Crown Prince of Pingnan remembered the dagger he had hidden in his bosom.
"If I die by my own hand, will my brother be at ease?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and the Prince of Pingnan used his last bit of strength to pull out the dagger and plunge it fiercely into his own chest.
Warm blood flowed out, and he only had time to glance at the strange encounter before he completely lost consciousness.
"The contract is established, stand firm!"
The heir of the Prince of Pingnan vaguely heard some sounds.
The next moment, he opened his eyes. Before him was a beautiful view of a flowing waterfall.
This is a home for showcasing amazing adventures.
The Crown Prince of Pingnan had many memories that did not belong to him, which made it easy for him to understand everything.
It turns out she came from such a magical place.
Looking at the flowers that had already ripened in his garden, the Prince of Pingnan stepped forward.
Now it's his turn to do the task.
*********
After returning home from a remarkable adventure, you are surprised to find that you have completed everything except for the wishing tree.
"Did you help with all of this?" Looking at the Prince of Pingnan, who seemed much more relaxed, Xiuchu asked.
Butler - Prince Pingnan: "Thank you for saving me. I feel I should do something for you."
Butler - Prince Pingnan: "The wishing tree is quite special. I think you might want to make a wish yourself, so I left this task unfinished."
"Ahhh," Show off her amazing encounter and twirled around excitedly, "You're so great! God knows how much I wish someone could help me with my daily tasks at home."
Butler - Prince Pingnan: "It is my honor."
“By the way,” Xiu Chuqi asked, “I saw other people say that after becoming a steward, you have another chance to change your name. What was your name before? Do you want to change it back? I can’t keep calling you Prince Pingnan, that’s too informal.”
Steward - Prince Pingnan: "Yesterday's events are like yesterday's death, today's events are like today's birth. There's no need to be bound by the original name."
Butler - Prince Pingnan: "Now that I have been given a new life, I want to take a new name."
Butler - Prince Pingnan: "How about calling it Kunyu Xuanjing?"
“Of course,” Showing off his extraordinary encounter nodded, “It’s an absolutely wonderful name.”
She deftly changed the housekeeper's name, showed off her adventure by making a wish in front of the wishing tree, and then went off to complete the sequel to her adventure in both the Yin and Yang realms.
It's worth mentioning that when she was trying to find a member of the opposite sex with whom she had a deep and unwavering bond to complete a mission, she tentatively summoned the Kunyu Xuanjing, and it actually worked.
Having overcome this most difficult step, she finally managed to smoothly complete all the subsequent tasks and successfully obtained the title of Overlord of the Mortal World.
It was already past 4 a.m., and Xiuchu was so sleepy that he had to log off to rest and wait until the next day to continue his adventures.
The next day, Xiuchu Qiyu immediately opened the game as soon as she woke up at noon.
"Huh, why is the game taking so long to load today? Is there an update?"
She opened the announcement board and saw the updates from the past few days that had made her feel like her world had collapsed.
"The bug that allowed players to obtain appearance items for free in game levels has been fixed. Now, clothing obtained in the game will exist as equipment."
"The issue of players gambling in game levels has been fixed; the gambling dens in the game are no longer open to players. Reject gambling, starting with me."
"The issue of players using favorability items to increase NPC favorability has been fixed. Favorability items will no longer be effective on NPCs in game levels."
"What's the meaning?"
Show off your amazing adventures and break through defenses.
"Is this a bug fix or a fix for me? Why is every single one of these fixes targeting me?"
He logged into the game grumbling, and as soon as he logged in, Kunyu Xuanjing handed him several boxes of rare encounters.
It's a neighborhood chest obtained from fishing.
Showing off my unexpected encounter reminded me that I hadn't bought this week's Home Treasure Chest yet.
Open all the treasure chests and you will successfully obtain several Southern Water Tokens and a Hero Equipment Chest.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he skillfully switched his cultivation method to the Cloud Garment Heart Sutra, which revealed the Roujia Twin Swords, a 30,200-grade item, higher than his 25,900-grade equipment. He immediately equipped them.
After finishing these chores, there was no need to buy any more favor items. After showing off the adventure, I simply greeted Kunyu Xuanjing and re-entered the game level.
This time, we landed in a place called Xingzilin.
Show off your amazing encounter and look at the system task as soon as you land.
This mission didn't even provide a starting location; all it said was, "Wait for the final chapter of the story."
"Are they not even going to put on an act anymore? They're just blatantly telling players to spend their game time? What's the difference between that and just robbing people?"
Showing off an amazing encounter stunned everyone.
After repeatedly confirming that there were no other exclamation marks on the map, I had to accept the reality of this unexpected encounter.
"Well, since we're here, let's make the best of it. Let's switch back to our cultivation method first, otherwise I'll feel unsafe."
"Special map, unable to switch cultivation techniques."
The system notification arrived late.
"Ugh! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
Just as Showing off his extraordinary adventure was about to break down, a group of people suddenly ran over from a distance.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered several burly men and three beautiful girls.
Before they could even stand still, another large group of NPCs surged in from all directions, and countless speech bubbles appeared along with them.
Upon opening the focus list, I discovered that the "Adventures" section mainly featured yellow-named NPCs, with a few green-named among them.
"No red name? That's fine then." Showing off her adventure, she moved closer to the green-named NPC. "Let's wait for the story to end."
She hadn't even noticed how long she'd been waiting when she suddenly discovered an NPC had died not far away. Startled, she immediately snapped back to reality.
After scanning the screen again to make sure there were no red-named players around, I felt relieved to show off my unexpected encounter.
Out of boredom, I swiped around on the game screen a couple of times and noticed that another dead NPC had appeared. On a whim, I selected it in the "Show Off Your Adventure" section.
The word "Resurrection" has been added to the bottom right corner where the healing skill used to be, and you can now use the "Divine Dance" skill on NPCs!
Showing off his amazing encounter, he clicked on it out of curiosity.
Three seconds later, the NPC, who had been dead, revived with low health. I used the "Adventure" skill and cast a "Snowfall" spell on him. In no time, the NPC was back to full health.
The surrounding NPCs were taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated, and everyone stared in shock at Xiu Chuqi, who was twirling around with a fan.
"What's wrong?" Showing off her extraordinary encounter asked in confusion, "Don't worry about me, I'm just testing out my skills, you guys continue."
Then he selected another NPC who had already died and used the Divine Dance Technique again.
The scene of the dead coming back to life was repeated once again.
The surrounding NPCs were all in an uproar.
*********
"You," Bai Shijing pointed at Xiu Chuqiyu, his voice trembling, "Are you human or a ghost? How did you learn such demonic magic?"
"You old man, you're quite funny. If I'm saving people, then of course they're people." The woman in pink opposite her said calmly, "How could a method of saving people be sorcery? It's just that you're ignorant and don't know."
"The method of resurrection is something everyone in our area knows."
Hearing the woman say this, the crowd began to believe her somewhat.
"Indeed, if it were sorcery, why would it be used to save people?"
"It's just that this resurrection was so sensational that it frightened everyone."
Qiao Feng, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Xiu.
"Since you have such abilities, young lady, I dare to ask you to revive someone for me."
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately understood who Qiao Feng wanted to resurrect. Their expressions changed instantly.
Some were delighted, some were apprehensive, and some tried to remain calm, their true thoughts unknown.
Upon hearing the NPC's words, Xiu Chuqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea.
"I can certainly help people revive, but I'll charge you."
"Five hundred gold coins per person, no bargaining."
The surrounding NPCs immediately erupted in an uproar.
*********
Seeing the NPCs excitedly asking for his help to revive others, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind, and a way to make money appeared.
"I can use the Divine Dance Technique to make money! Other skills are also an option."
"Resurrecting someone costs 500 gold, restoring health costs 10 gold, and removing poison costs 50 gold. I can also try transferring power; charging 100 gold per transfer is not unreasonable. As long as I make a name for myself, I'll be rich from this dungeon!"
Since there's no main storyline, the developers can use players' game time for free, so players can naturally find ways to get something for themselves. It's all a matter of individual skill.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He then showed a loving look to the NPC who had reminded him of the serendipitous encounter.
"I can certainly help people revive, but I'll charge you."
"Five hundred gold coins per person, no bargaining."
Qiao Feng: "Okay, no problem."
*********
Five hundred gold coins is indeed a large sum. No one in the Beggars' Sect could afford it.
But if we try to put together the necessary materials, it's not impossible.
After all, the Beggars' Sect has the largest number of members in the martial arts world, so even if each person contributes one or two taels of silver, they can easily raise the sum.
Moreover, the Beggars' Sect itself actually has a considerable amount of property, but the amount of silver stored in the sect is unknown, at least five hundred taels of gold.
"Wait!" Quan Guanqing interrupted.
“It has been more than two months since Deputy Chief Ma passed away. He doesn’t seem like someone who is about to die. Even if this young lady has excellent medical skills, I’m afraid she can’t bring someone who has been dead for a long time back to life, right?”
"If we can't revive him, wouldn't we just be needlessly disturbing the spirit of Vice Chief Ma?"
Quan Guanqing's words make some sense.
But just a quarter of an hour earlier, their Beggars' Clan leader, Qiao Feng, was being questioned because of the cause of death of Vice Leader Ma.
At this moment, Quan Guanqing suddenly jumped out to oppose asking someone to revive Deputy Chief Ma. No matter how reasonable his words were, other members of the gang who were clear-headed could not help but suspect his intentions.
Elder Wu couldn't help but frown and reprimand him.
What are your intentions in saying that?
"Knowing that the death of Vice Chief Ma is related to a major event for our Beggars' Clan, we must try even if there is only a sliver of hope. Otherwise, if we wrong Chief Qiao because of the cause of Vice Chief Ma's death, wouldn't that be our fault?"
"Our Beggars' Sect values loyalty above all else. Even if the resurrection fails and disturbs the spirit of Vice Chief Ma, he will certainly not blame us after he knows the cause and effect."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the extraordinary encounter.
"If the young lady can truly revive our Deputy Chief Ma and give him the opportunity to tell the truth, we will definitely offer him five hundred gold coins with both hands."
It was only then that Xiu discovered the extraordinary encounter: the person they wanted him to help resurrect was someone who had been dead for a long time.
"Let me make this clear beforehand, I don't know if someone who's been dead for so long can be brought back to life."
"To avoid disputes, I can accept a deposit of 200 gold coins first. If the revival is successful, you can pay me the balance. If it fails, I will refund the deposit to you as well, how about that?"
Elder Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"
