Chapter 155
XunMi carefully searched through her memories as she headed back into the palace. She used her spiritual energy to pull out all the memories she could find within the NPC body. After scanning the book again, XunMi was even more confused. Why did she feel like this NPC was like the God’s favorite in “Chaos”? {T/N: God’s favorite, or more literally God’s darling, is used to denote the fact that someone is basically OP or really really lucky}
Chaos was a story about gods and demons. Her hidden identity was demon. Naturally, there was also a god clan. Coincidentally, the male lead was a king within the god clan. The female lead was even more weird. She was a fallen immortal.
XunMi didn’t understand where an immortal came in within a book about gods and demons. {T/N: basically gods and demons are xuanhuan characters whereas immortal is a status gained in xianxia novels through Daoist cultivation.} Forget it, this was an internet novel. It was normal to have a few confusing plot points. But that didn’t mean she was happy about it. (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ Mainly because she already felt that her husband was slowly approaching her. Based on his air, he was a god. She could already guess his identity: her husband was the male lead in this world.
This was the main reason she was sighing on the inside. Her husband was her to fight her. Her heart was so weary, she needed her dear husband’s warm words to comfort her.
After venting out the resentment in her heart, XunMi began to seriously approach the situation. The story within “Chaos” was about the time after the war between the gods and demons. The kings of both sides had fallen, causing their underlings to fight amongst each other for power. There were rules to select the new king. Yet, the candidates needed to gain experience to return to their home realm. Naturally, the ending was that the god clan won and the demon clan was completely wiped out.
XunMi didn’t have the patience to read on afterwards. She was more worried about fixing the most imminent problem. This NPC had high authority and freedom in this world. Unlike NPCs in other games, who were tied to their designated locations or had plots to carry out so repeated the same lines, this game had advanced NPC characters. En, she needed to take some time off to take a look.
XunMi opened up her inventory to check if there were any treasures. Oh, right: Fortunate Star. How did she forget? She quickly took a pill and hoped that her dear husband will show her mercy in a few minutes. As she swiped through her inventory, XunMi’s eyes landed on the Thousand Feather Mask and Golden Feather Cloak. She placed the mask on her face and watched as her clothing changed into the Golden Feather Cloak. Since flower spirit, her faux identity, were known for loving gold, this would fit perfectly with her established character.
After preparing everything, XunMi decided to conduct a tactical escape. As long as she wasn’t inside the palace, the female lead and her junior sister wouldn’t be able to come fight her. Then, the female lead wouldn’t be in danger and her husband wouldn’t need to come help her. Such a good plan! XunMi strutted out the back door. In the process, she made sure add a cloaking ability for herself. Immediately, the Flower Spirit Queen NPC sign above her head disappeared.
There were no signs above players’ head. Only NPC had an identity sign.
However there was a saying that stated ‘disasters cannot be avoided.’ There were some things in the storyline that were simply unavoidable, no matter how much you try to reverse the plot. Black lines appeared on XunMi’s head as she spotted the two people wearing a ocean blue sect uniform and approaching her. Shouldn’t the female lead and the junior sister be walking on a different path? She had hidden herself so well, yet she still ended up bumping into them.
“Hello, do you know how to get to JueXian Pavilion? Me and my junior sister are a bit lost.” ShangGuan Qi carefully spoke. This woman in a golden mask was really beautiful, even when only her pearl white chin was visible. Especially the air she carried. It was much stronger than hers.
Even though Shangguan Qi was very well-loved right now, only she knew how restless and empty she felt on the inside. Because she was a chubby child and was bullied by others, she still felt inferior now even though she had slimmed down. Therefore, she wanted to help everyone she could when she grew up. She wanted people to praise her, to like her. That way, she can suppress the anxiety in her heart.
XunMi played with the bamboo flute in her hand and looked up at the female lead with interest. She was a little different than she imagined. “You want to go to JueXian Pavilion to fight the Flower Spirit Queen?”
“En.” Shangguan Qi was bewitched by XunMi’s voice. It was clear as green jade, as soothing as spring rain.
“A level 80 and a level 76 want to fight a level 100 flower spirit queen. Are you two too confident or do you think the flower spirit queen was just going to sit back and do nothing? A word of advice: if you don’t want to die, go back and level up first.” XunMi was speechless on the inside. Did the female lead even have a brain? Did she not see the difference between 80 and 100?
Shangguan Qi froze and bit her lip, a bit helpless. Her innocent and youthful face paled, as if she were a little white rabbit fallen into a hunter’s trap.
Meanwhile, next to her, Zi Qin’s expression darkened as she almost gritted out a tooth. She had already reached this point, should she return without any success? Damn it, who was this random woman? Why hadn’t she seen her before?
XunMi didn’t mind being the brunt of this cannonfodder junior sister’s resentment. The ranking chart’s hidden players had probably been updated as she walked out of JueXian Pavilion. No matter who investigated, they wouldn’t be able to determine that she was a bug.
While the three stood blocking the road and staring at each other, a man appeared from far away. He was a cold and calm man. His dark eyes lacked any sign of emotion, as if there was no room for feelings in him. Yet his entire melancholy atmosphere made everyone forget his ruthless eyes. His moonlight white robes were noble and solemn. His atmosphere was as ethereal as an immortal, with a sense of pitiful solitude.
But XunMi could see fiery passion burning through those indifferent eyes. Her lips curved upwards immediately. Her dear husband really was still the same; he was still able to recognize her on first sight. Worthy of praise.
But wait-she seemed to have forgotten to check for this world’s mission.
