Chapter 4 Killing Intent
Lu Xiaofeng had barely caught his breath before the woman in pink pulled out an erotic picture and smeared it on his face.
"Here, this is for you."
"!!!"
If it weren't for his image, Lu Xiaofeng would have screamed out loud right now.
He had seen erotic pictures before.
If the person sending him the erotic pictures were his friend, he would laugh a few rounds and comment on them together.
He could have remained indifferent even if the girl who sent him the erotic pictures were any other girl.
But the one smearing his face with erotic pictures right now was the one in front of him. Even if she was more beautiful than any other beauty in the martial arts world, Lu Xiaofeng would still treat her as a true beauty.
Although he didn't know much, Lu Xiaofeng's intuition was frantically warning him.
Do not tolerate the strange things the person in front of you does, or it will lead to very serious consequences!
His intuition had never screamed like this before, so much so that Lu Xiaofeng couldn't ignore it at all!
"No need, I don't need this." Lu Xiaofeng tried to make her tone as calm as possible.
"Don't give away baby clothes to people so casually in the future, it's not good."
"Xiao Yi?" Xiu asked in confusion, "You mean this silk bellyband?"
As she spoke, she took out two more items from behind her back: "Don't you like silk bellybands? I also have embroidered phoenix bellybands and bellybands without any prefixes. They were all picked up on Kou Island. Do you want them?"
Lu Xiaofeng retreated in fear.
"Who would like something like this!"
"No," Lu Xiaofeng said loudly, "I mean, who would collect these things to give away!"
"This is a must-have three-piece gift set, plus a cucumber. I couldn't buy it because the shop isn't open here."
“No one could possibly like this kind of thing!” Lu Xiaofeng retorted loudly.
Seeing that he really didn't like it, she showed off her adventure and opened her backpack again to rummage through it.
"Or do you like this?" Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he pulled out a picture of a handsome man: "A specialty of Shaolin Temple during wartime."
"!!!"
"Does the Shaolin Temple know that you are slandering them like this?"
Feeling the topic was getting increasingly dangerous, Lu Xiaofeng didn't even notice why Xiu's adventure referred to Shaolin as the Shaolin of Chaos; he just wanted to end this absurd conversation as soon as possible.
He abruptly changed the subject: "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to help me find the Embroidered Thief?"
"Ah, right!"
Showing off one's unexpected encounters has indeed drawn attention to new topics.
When do we set off?
"Let's wait until tonight. I need to investigate the Prince of Pingnan's mansion first. I have to go in and find out for myself how the Embroidered Thief broke into the mansion's treasury. That might be an important clue."
*********
The long-unchanged mission instructions have finally changed.
"Wait until dark and then sneak into the Prince of Pingnan's mansion with Lu Xiaofeng."
"So even though he says he doesn't want it, Lu Xiaofeng actually still likes the three-piece set from Kou Island, right?"
Seeing that her favorability rating had increased considerably, Lu Xiaofeng finally agreed to take her to find the Embroidered Thief. She thought to herself, "This is a wonderful adventure."
However, in order to avoid lowering the NPC's favorability and causing her to fail the quest, she wisely refrained from revealing her extraordinary encounter.
The NPCs remained online until dark. Having learned from the previous experience, the NPCs didn't completely abandon the quest after the adventure, but instead kept an eye on the NPCs' activities from time to time.
Sure enough, after hanging up the performer for 40 minutes, Lu Xiaofeng, who had promised to take her to find the Embroidered Thief, left alone without even calling her.
The mission instructions have also changed again.
"Heading to the Prince of Pingnan's residence."
"NPCs can even lie, this new gameplay is really interesting."
Showing no anger at being deceived by the NPC, he excitedly followed after them.
Lu Xiaofeng: "You've arrived?"
The questioner wanted to know what would happen if they ignored the NPCs' storyline and instead opted for a "follow" option.
Lu Xiaofeng stood there in silence for a while, then continued on his way to the destination indicated by the mission.
The quest instructions haven't changed, and the NPCs' direction of movement is also correct.
"Okay, okay. In the future, when you're too lazy to type or don't know what to say, you can just ignore it and wait for the plot to skip."
"That's a good point!"
This is what I thought when I saw a non-plot-driven person showing off their unexpected encounter.
Following Lu Xiaofeng to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, the mission enters the next stage.
"Infiltrate the treasury of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion without being discovered by the guards."
"Huh," Xiu Chuqi's eyes lit up, "Isn't this similar to Old Jia's Beauty Portrait infiltration mission?"
"I've already conquered Baidi City, so the small Pingnan Prince's Mansion is nothing to me."
Although it was my first time on this map, the expert at dodging red circles managed to sneak into the target location on the first try.
Looking back, I saw Lu Xiaofeng catch a sword from a white-clad NPC with two fingers outstretched.
Before I could even marvel at how cool Lu Xiaofeng's move was, I caught a glimpse of the mission guide flashing red, indicating that the infiltration had failed.
"?"
"What's the meaning?"
The next second, Xiu Qiyu looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a murderous glint in his eyes.
"Can a failed NPC infiltration also lead to mission failure?"
*********
Having reached an agreement with the strange woman to explore the Prince of Pingnan's mansion together, Lu Xiaofeng sighed as he watched her once again enter her wandering, engrossed state of performing.
To avoid being seen as a pervert, he had no choice but to resign himself to picking up the various undergarments, erotic pictures, and portraits of beautiful women that had fallen to the ground and hiding them all in the deepest part of the cabinet.
"But to be fair, these erotic paintings and pictures of handsome men are really well done; they must be the work of a master."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed as he glanced at the catalog.
I glanced at the "Show Your Adventures" video again.
"This girl is strange, her name is strange, the things she brought out are strange, and even her behavior is strange. It's best not to take her with us when we go to explore the Prince of Pingnan's mansion later."
Having made up his mind, Lu Xiaofeng didn't wait until it was completely dark; he deliberately set off as soon as night fell.
Based on what happened at the inn last time, he guessed that the girl was oblivious to the outside world while she was lost in thought, so he could easily leave without a care in the world.
However, this time he seems to have miscalculated.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng left the house, he saw Xiu Chuqi, who had been lost in thought, chasing after him.
He was prepared to be questioned, but the other person seemed unconcerned, simply patting him lightly on the shoulder before standing still.
"You've come?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, forcing himself to speak, still racking his brains for an excuse to lure her away.
To everyone's surprise, the other party remained silent, standing still as if expressing their attitude in this way.
Lu Xiaofeng remained silent for a moment, then had no choice but to take her with him on the journey.
Upon arriving at the Prince of Pingnan's residence, Lu Xiaofeng was about to explain something to Xiu Chuqi when he saw the other party rush inside.
"Don't……"
Lu Xiaofeng was so quick that he didn't even have time to say anything to stop the person who had shown off their extraordinary encounter before they disappeared.
He wanted to follow, but a patrol of guards happened to pass by. At this point, Lu Xiaofeng could only comfort himself that the other party had many unusual characteristics, so he shouldn't encounter any danger.
Instead of recklessly flaunting his fortuitous encounter, Lu Xiaofeng carefully compared the patrol map and chose to sneak in during the shift change. This was when the patrols were most relaxed, providing him with the only possible route.
Although he was quite skilled in light-footed techniques, he lacked experience, and his infiltration was clearly not very successful.
He successfully evaded most of the guards, but was eventually intercepted by a man in white.
When that sword, as if descending from the heavens, appeared, Lu Xiaofeng realized that the one who had intercepted him was none other than Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City!
Lu Xiaofeng retreated several steps, his internal energy never having circulated so quickly before.
Fortunately, his past efforts and talent did not disappoint him, and Lu Xiaofeng successfully caught the sword with his Lingxi Finger.
"It seems we've won."
Two figures emerged from around the corner; it was Jin Jiuling and Hua Manlou.
His friend actually bet his life on it!
Before Lu Xiaofeng could even feel angry, he sensed a murderous aura approaching.
"Run! Run! Run!"
Forcibly suppressing the warning his intuition gave him, Lu Xiaofeng looked up.
A slender figure stood not far away in front of the royal treasury, its light faintly gleaming in the night.
