Chapter 59 New Level
Lin Xian'er didn't speak, but Lu Xiaofeng continued.
"A beautiful woman is like a fine jade; naturally, she belongs to the capable. How dare you, a defeated general, expect a beautiful woman to remain faithful to you until the end?"
"Xian'er has already told me all your schemes, otherwise how could my companions have caught you at this exact time?"
Bai Xiaosheng, who had already suspected Lin Xian'er of betraying them, finally stopped pretending to be dead and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Do you think she's some kind of good person?"
"If it weren't for the help of the most beautiful woman in the world, how could I have convinced Xin Jian to cooperate with me in stealing the secret manual?"
He then sneered, "And there's the Plum Blossom Thief."
"Do you think she deliberately made it public that she was willing to marry the man who killed the Plum Blossom Thief because she was selfless?"
Little did they know, she was the real Plum Blossom Thief!
Knowing that he had no chance of survival, Bai Xiaosheng was not afraid to reveal more secrets.
"You're talking nonsense!"
He suddenly spoke up after showing off his extraordinary encounter.
Only then did she remember what Lu Xiaofeng had mentioned about why the people in the inn were fighting over the Golden Silk Armor. It was because the Plum Blossom Thieves possessed a hidden weapon that specifically targeted the chest, leaving a plum blossom mark on the body.
Those people stole the Golden Silk Armor in order to deal with the Plum Blossom Bandits.
Thinking of this, Xiuchu Qiyu quickly searched for her previous battle records.
Sure enough, I found the battle record of being hit by the plum blossom dart inside.
"You are the real Plum Blossom Thief!"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he stepped forward and pulled open the sleeve above Bai Xiaosheng's severed wrist, and sure enough, he found a hidden weapon tied to Bai Xiaosheng's arm.
Upon removing the hidden weapon and opening it, one would find several plum blossom-shaped throwing darts inside.
"The reason why those victims couldn't dodge the plum blossom darts was not because the plum blossom thief was so skilled. It was because they never imagined that the famous all-knowing scholar would be the plum blossom thief."
"They never suspected you!"
Caught off guard and exposed, Bai Xiaosheng's face turned bright red.
“Those goals were all given to me by her; she directed me.”
“Oh,” Xiu said meaningfully, “you, a renowned senior in the martial arts world, are being ordered around by a weak woman you look down on who only has a beautiful reputation. You’re really amazing.”
"you!"
Bai Xiaosheng had never been insulted like this before. Since he made a name for himself as Bai Xiaosheng, no one had ever looked down on him like this.
If someone were to reveal their extraordinary encounter and know what he was thinking, they would probably have to deliver a few sarcastic remarks.
Unfortunately, she didn't know this, so she just imitated his disdain for women, and acted as if she looked down on him.
“Useless is useless. Not only is he useless, but he also lacks responsibility. His petty-mindedness is impossible to hide.”
"No wonder they had to rely on Shangguan Jin Hong and Li Xun Huan to make a name for themselves when compiling some kind of weapons list. They have no credibility at all, yet they still have the nerve to take credit for it themselves."
"Pah!" Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she gave him a disdainful look: "Shameless!"
"You, you, you..."
Bai Xiaosheng finally understood what it meant to be speechless and unable to defend himself.
He wanted to argue with Xiu Chuqiyu a bit more. Unfortunately, he was already seriously injured, and his identity as the Plum Blossom Thief had been exposed. Adding to this was Xiu Chuqiyu's mockery. He couldn't catch his breath and died of anger.
Those present were utterly astonished.
Abbot Xinhu stepped forward to check Bai Xiaosheng's breath and confirmed that he had indeed died. He was speechless.
"this……"
Showing off her amazing encounter, she rolled her eyes: "Useless!"
Xin Jian, standing to the side, couldn't help but shrink back, afraid that if he showed off his extraordinary encounter, he would also be scolded like that.
He couldn't accept dying of anger.
Seeing that Xiu's gaze had shifted to Lu Xiaofeng, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lu Xiaofeng, what's going on with you?"
Looking at Lin Xian'er, who was being held in Lu Xiaofeng's arms, Xiu showed a gossipy smile.
"You've found true love?" Recalling the fireworks display earlier, Xiu Xiu smiled teasingly, "Did the True Orange Heart play a part?"
Having understood what "showing off one's extraordinary encounter" meant, Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes in a very inelegant manner.
You're overthinking it.
As soon as he removed his hand from Lin Xian'er's waist, the beautiful woman, who had been leaning against Lu Xiaofeng's chest, fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Watching a beautiful woman fall to the ground, he exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you supposed to be the most chivalrous person? With such a beautiful woman in your arms, you just stood by and watched her fall without even helping her up?"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
"Didn't Bai Xiaosheng say that Lin Xian'er is the real Plum Blossom Thief?"
"What?" Xiu Chuqi couldn't believe it: "Isn't that just him trying to shirk responsibility? The Plum Blossom Thief's weapon is still tied to Bai Xiaosheng's arm."
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "Is it possible that the two of them together are the complete Plum Blossom Thief?"
"One uses her beauty to gather information and select targets, while the other is responsible for committing the crimes and killing the chosen girls."
He glanced at Lin Xian'er, his eyes filled with obvious regret: "You were such a beautiful woman, why did you become a thief?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he watched helplessly as Lu Xiaofeng suddenly entered the next stage of the main quest after saying those words, and fell into silence for a moment.
"So, Lin Xian'er really is the Plum Blossom Thief?"
What is she after?
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter and said, "Sometimes, jealousy can drive people to kill without any reason."
"She was jealous of those women's smooth lives, jealous of their beauty, status, and the love of their families."
"Anyone who is even slightly stronger than her, she wants to destroy."
Little did she know that jealousy was dragging her little by little into hell, from which she could never find her way back.
Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaotian entered together at that moment and happened to overhear Lu Xiaofeng's words.
He didn't react, and he didn't even notice Long Xiaoyun's slight change in expression.
Showing off his unexpected encounter, he didn't pay attention to the NPC with an inconspicuous presence, but just looked at Lu Xiaofeng with curiosity.
How do you know so much?
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, walked to Lin Xian'er's side, reached out and touched her body, thus untying Lin Xian'er's vagina.
"Lu Xiaofeng, you're not a man!"
As soon as Lin Xian'er's acupoints were released, she started cursing at Lu Xiaofeng.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Lu Xiaofeng.
Finally, she revealed her unexpected encounter and asked, "What did you do to her? Why does she seem to hate you so much?"
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and gave a wry smile: "I simply followed my heart and refused her invitation to join me in our grand scheme."
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, her eyes lit up: "She's going to rebel too?"
Lu Xiaofeng then realized that the person in front of him was a rebellion enthusiast!
He quickly shook his head: "No!"
"She just told me about Xin Jian and their conspiracy, and then told me to take the opportunity to do favors for Shaolin Temple. Then I would kill you, subdue the Money Gang, and unify the martial arts world."
Aren't you going to rebel?
Showing off the serendipitous encounter left me somewhat disappointed. Then, a feeling of bewilderment arose.
"If you want to unify the martial arts world, then unify the martial arts world. Why kill me? I won't stop you."
Lu Xiaofeng gave a bitter smile: "So jealousy is the original sin."
He turned to look at Lin Xian'er and said seriously, "It's not that Miss Xian'er lacks charm, it's just that I, Lu Xiaofeng, have a principle: I will never betray my friends."
"For the safety of my friend, I have no choice but to sacrifice you, Miss Xian'er."
"Pooh!"
Lin Xian'er glared fiercely at Lu Xiaofeng. This was the first time she had felt genuine affection for a man. Therefore, after being betrayed by him, she was even more furious and resentful.
At this moment, she wished she could go back to yesterday and slap herself hard to get rid of the water in her head.
If she had known, she wouldn't have thought of using Lu Xiaofeng to kill Xiu Chuqi. If she had chosen any other man, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
It's just that she was too confident in her own charm.
Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in this world.
She was still defeated by the man she had looked down upon.
Unaware of Lin Xian'er's thoughts, she showed off her adventure to open the quest interface and view the new main quest.
"To reveal the truth about the Plum Blossom Thief to the world."
This is very easy.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he turned to look at Abbot of Heart Lake.
"Abbot, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Please speak, benefactor."
"Shaolin Temple holds a prestigious position. To avoid any unforeseen complications, we request the abbot's help in revealing the truth about the Plum Blossom Thief case."
His extraordinary adventure not only helped Shaolin Temple recover the stolen martial arts manual but also saved Master Xinmei. Furthermore, he solved the Plum Blossom Thief case, shifting public attention from Xinjian's betrayal to the thief himself, thus preventing damage to Shaolin Temple's reputation.
Abbot Xinhu was extremely grateful for Xiu's extraordinary encounter and naturally responded without hesitation.
"I will now instruct the monks in the temple to tell the truth to all the worshippers."
"It won't be long before everyone in the martial arts world knows the true identity of the Plum Blossom Thief."
Upon hearing this reply, Showcase nodded in satisfaction.
Just as she was about to say something more, the familiar ink painting scroll reappeared before her eyes.
"Seriously? This ending came too suddenly!"
"I still have things to take care of!"
"I haven't even had a chance to claim the reward for killing the Plum Blossom Bandit yet! Don't do this!"
Unfortunately, the system's judgment was not swayed by the will to reveal unexpected encounters, and this level eventually came to an end.
"Its origin is unknown, its destination is unknown. Only the name of the divine sword, Dragon Carp, is known throughout the world."
"In just half a month, she killed the Five Poisons Child, destroyed the Money Gang, stormed Shaolin Temple, and found the Plum Blossom Thief. Wherever she went, trouble followed."
Some say she is a goddess who came to save the world. Others say she is an evil spirit who came to take the lives of the dead.
"But regardless of which version it is, wherever she goes, she inevitably stirs up huge waves, and there will never be peace again."
System: "Congratulations to the player for clearing the game level 'The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword' and achieving the ending 'The Human Heart is Only an Inch, Yet Storms Rise Day and Night'."
System: "The completion reward will be sent to your mailbox one minute after you log out of the game. Please check your mailbox in time."
"Slander! This is slander against me!"
After seeing the system's final results, Show-off was extremely dissatisfied with his extraordinary encounter.
"It was clearly those troubles that came looking for me, so why are you saying I stirred up the storm? That's pure slander."
"We'll report this to the central government!"
"I'm going to appeal this to the central government!"
After muttering to himself for a while, he finally noticed the key point after showing off his extraordinary encounter.
"Wait, the Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword? Is that what this level is called?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she carefully recalled the appearances of the two main characters.
One is the innocent young man A Fei, and the other is the melancholy, sickly, and handsome Li Xunhuan. Neither of them has anything to do with being amorous.
"Could it be that I changed the plot again?"
Curious about his adventure, he opened his system mailbox and found that he had earned 600 Hero Coins in this level.
Opening the Heroes interface, looking at the already lit-up A Fei and Li Xunhuan, I fell into deep thought after showing off my adventure.
"So, which of the two is the amorous swordsman?"
"I was just doing a task honestly, when did the ending get changed?"
If you can't figure something out, just stop thinking about it. Remembering a screenshot of the Stone Guanyin I'd taken before, I quickly uploaded it to my social media account.
"I need a master to recreate this character's face; Shi Guanyin is absolutely stunning!"
Beauty is indeed the primary productive force, and someone quickly replied.
"Wow, so beautiful! Has Seasun Entertainment's aesthetic sense been upgraded again? This is simply a new generation of divine face!"
"Wait, why are your stone Guanyin and mine different?"
Screenshot, screenshot.
"Why does my stone Guanyin look like this? Although it's pretty, it's much worse than yours."
Showing off her amazing encounter, she couldn't help but reply: "I gave the character creation card to Shi Guanyin, and she recreated this face."
"Wow, is that even possible? How come I didn't think of that?"
The thread had been buzzing with discussion for hundreds of minutes, finally attracting a top expert.
"It seems a bit difficult. I'll give it a try. If I succeed, I'll send you the character creation code."
"Ahhh, thank you so much, great master! May you have a peaceful and prosperous life, and may you get rare crystals every week and have amazing encounters every day."
After adding the expert friend and showing off my amazing adventure, I closed the post with satisfaction, only to realize that I had already switched points. Too lazy to go back to the game, I just went to sleep.
The next day, Show-off, who didn't get up until almost noon, opened the game and found that the system had been updated again.
"The bug where players could give character customization cards to NPCs has been fixed. Character customization cards, body size cards, and other similar items can no longer be given to NPCs."
"The bug that allowed players to bind their mounts and accessories and sell them to NPCs has been fixed. Bound non-quest items can no longer be traded to NPCs."
The fist hardened.
I woke up to this terrible news and all I wanted to do was beat the game planner up.
It's impossible to quit the game (A). All I can do is curse the game developers while playing it to get by.
Show off your amazing adventures and your pathetic, humiliating re-login to the game.
I received several system emails as soon as I logged in.
Before she could even open it, she saw Kunyu Xuanjing sitting right next to her.
"What's wrong?" Xiu Chuqi asked curiously.
Kunyu Xuanjing shook her head: "It's nothing, I just wanted to be closer to you."
"I finished all the homestead quests when you left, and there's nothing else to do, so I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come back."
The pitiful tone, combined with Kunyu Xuanjing's unique voice, made everyone who witnessed the extraordinary encounter feel sorry for her.
He reached out and touched Kunyu Xuanjing's head.
"How about you come with me to the next level?"
"Really?" Kunyu Xuanjing's eyes lit up.
Seeing his surprised expression, I felt a pang of conscience as I recounted his extraordinary adventure.
Yes, Kunyu Xuanjing is different from the other butlers. He's more intelligent, and perhaps he also feels lonely?
"Of course you can. I tried it last time. You can summon heroes in game levels. Isn't the butler a hero too? He should be able to do that too, right?"
As I spoke, I started to lose confidence.
Showing off her unexpected encounter reminded her of those quests that only allowed her to arrange outings for the teahouse's wandering knights. She hesitated before speaking.
I'll try it later.
"If I could, I would definitely call you to help me through this challenge."
Kunyu Xuanjing extended his hand: "It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Having made a promise with Kunyu Xuanjing, we'll showcase our extraordinary adventures and enter new game levels.
This time, she landed on a ship.
Before she could figure out what was going on around her, she saw several people with red names turn around and look at her.
"Oh, another beautiful young lady has arrived."
An ugly, burly man with a red name laughed and said, "We brothers were just worried that we didn't have enough beautiful women to share. Now that we have two, we won't kill them both."
Before Xiu could even react to what they were talking about, a soft female voice spoke again.
"If I'm your target, why are you eyeing someone else?"
"Am I not pretty enough?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she looked up and saw a beautiful and delicate woman standing in front of the bed, with several trembling maids hiding behind her.
Upon hearing this, the ugly, burly men suddenly burst into laughter.
"This is the first time we brothers have been invited like this by a beautiful woman."
"Don't worry, little beauty. You're so pretty, your brothers will definitely take good care of you."
Showing off my serendipitous encounter, I finally understood it this time.
This is a gang of lecherous thieves!
That girl named Lei Chun was truly kind-hearted; even though she was in danger herself, she still thought of saving me.
In an instant, the goodwill towards her exploded after the show's unexpected encounter.
Compared to her, these other people with red names are not only ugly, but also shockingly wicked.
She didn't even bother to look at the group of ugly red-named individuals; the martial arts assistant was activated.
In a short while, the group of red-named individuals turned into a pile of corpses.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
A cheer rang out, and a man in white emerged from the shadows. His eyes were fixed intently on the dragon carp in the man's hand, who had just displayed his extraordinary encounter.
"Excellent swordsmanship, and excellent swordsmanship!"
Another NPC who had just boarded the ship also spoke up.
Show off your extraordinary experiences and appreciate all discerning people equally.
She glanced approvingly at the NPC named Wang Xiaoshi, then turned to look at Lei Chun.
"Young lady, are you alright?"
A glint flashed in Lei Chun's eyes, and she smiled gently.
"With the help of this heroine, I am naturally pleased." He then turned to look at the others.
"Thank you all for your help. May I ask your esteemed names?"
Another beautiful woman on the boat shook her head: "This young lady acted too quickly; we weren't able to help much."
"But I can tell you my name, it's Wenrou."
Hearing this, Lei Chun smiled gently again and said, "It's already remarkable to have a chivalrous heart. I am Tian Chun, and I greet you all, chivalrous warriors."
"Tian Chun?" Xiu Chuqi glanced curiously at the name above her head, but didn't expose her.
This is a little angel who doesn't forget to protect others even in a crisis! What's wrong with using a fake name? Everyone has inconveniences sometimes.
Xiu Chuqiyu nodded: "My name is Xiu Chuqiyu. Xiu is the Xiu of Qixiufang, and Chuqiyu means 'frequently encountering extraordinary events'."
"Seven Show Pavilion?" Wang Xiaoshi was a little curious, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply followed behind them and gave his own introduction.
"My name is Wang Xiaoshi, Wang as in emperor, Xiao as in small and big, and Shi as in small stone."
All eyes turned to Bai Choufei. Bai Choufei had no choice but to speak simply.
"White sorrow flies."
“Now that we’ve told each other our names, we’re friends.” Wenrou, always the most lively, walked up to Lei Chun with a smile and asked curiously.
"Sister Tian Chun, do you know who they are? Why did they come to hurt you?"
Showing off one's unexpected encounters is also a source of curiosity.
She had just taken a moment to look at the hero interface; the protagonist of this level is Wang Xiaoshi. Usually, characters appear near the protagonist, so perhaps Lei Chun will be Wang Xiaoshi's confidante?
She also tried to summon the Kunyu Mystic Crystal. Unfortunately, just as she had guessed, the Butler Swordsman was not allowed to appear in the game levels.
It seems Kunyu Xuanjing is going to be disappointed again. Perhaps I should try to find a suitable gift to bring him back this time?
Lei Chun simply shook his head: "All I know is that they are known in the martial arts world as the Seven Fiends, a few wicked and evil demons who have joined the Seven Saints of the Bewitching Heaven."
"As for why they came here to arrest me, I have no idea."
The group whispered and discussed the matter for a long time, but since all the murderers had been apprehended, they were completely stumped. In the end, they could only speculate that perhaps Tian Chun's status as a daughter of an official had brought trouble upon her.
If you can't figure it out, then let it go.
Everyone present was an easygoing person, and they readily put the matter aside and began to talk about their future plans. Then, to their surprise, they discovered that everyone's destination was the capital.
“A true man is born between heaven and earth, so naturally he should do something extraordinary.” At this point, Bai Choufei abandoned his usual aloofness and said with shining eyes, “I came to the capital to make a name for myself.”
“I’m pretty much the same,” Wang Xiaoshi said. “I don’t necessarily have the idea of making a name for myself. But I also want to see how far I can go.”
The two women, however, had different goals than them.
"I need to find my senior brother."
"I'm just going home."
After they finished speaking, they all turned their gaze to the mysterious woman who seemed a bit out of place.
"Me?" Show off your adventure and open the quest log.
The main questline clearly states this.
"Witness the decisive battle between Six and a Half Hall and Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion."
She thought for a moment and then changed her words: "I want to know which is more powerful, Liufenbantang or Jinfeng Xiyulou."
"this……"
The people present fell silent, and after a long while, they began to argue about the topic.
As the junior sister of Su Mengzhen, the master of Jinfeng Xiyu Tower, she stood firmly on the side of Jinfeng Xiyu Tower.
Bai Choufei, however, felt that Liufenbantang was superior.
After all, "six parts Lei and four parts Su, six and a half parts Tang is definitely better."
The two argued endlessly about this topic, with Wang Xiaoshi constantly trying to persuade one of them while trying to persuade the other.
The instigator showed off his extraordinary encounter but did not participate in the debate. He just looked at Lei Chun's gentle smile and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Based on my past experience watching TV dramas and reading novels, a beautiful woman like Lei Chun, who is weak but has a high status, is either the female lead or a white moonlight who dies young in male-oriented novels."
She remembered the skill transfer she hadn't had a chance to try in the previous level of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and decided to find a way to change the plot.
"Tian Chun, do you want to learn martial arts?"
Lei Chun was taken aback, and after a moment shook his head: "I was born with weak meridians, so I am destined to be unable to practice martial arts."
"That's not necessarily true."
In JX3, cultivation level doesn't seem to be related to mana.
However, after experiencing several game levels and encountering unexpected events, I vaguely realized that some of the game's settings were quite different from those in the original JX3 game.
Thinking of Na Yuandan's last words.
"Qi enters the dantian, the clay ox enters the palace, and cultivation is improved."
Isn't this exactly the description of internal energy in various martial arts settings?
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he reached out and grasped Lei Chun's hand, speaking sincerely.
"I have a way to give you internal energy directly, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Would you like to give it a try?"
