Ye Xiu originally planned to be tolerant of others, keeping a low profile. but, after learning that he felt the time left wasn't enough, he was afraid that if he continued to be humble and tolerant of others, it would be a waste of time.
So he stopped pretending, taking life and death lightly and fought fate that he didn't accept.
Perhaps this would affect Xianxing, the future ruthless empress, but there was no way he had to extend his life span first so that he could better help her find her brother.
Anyway, in this world, the final ruthless empress would become eternal, which meant that no matter how much effort those around him put into effect, Xianxing would eventually become the greatest being to exist, and Ye Xiu felt like he was just a witness to her journey.
Present Moment
After saying this, Mucheng next to him was a little surprised, and the other two cultivators looked at Ye Xiu with an indifferent look. They didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary boy was actually like a tiger that had woken up.
"Since you're so determined, I will make an exception once and allow you to enter my abode, but you must follow my command of everything," Mucheng said.
"Senior sister..."
The cultivator on the side with a grim attitude suddenly spoke at this time, wanting to say something more.
"After all, the rules in the sects are like law, and no one has violated them. However, if the elders found out about this, they would certainly mete out severe punishment to Senior Sister Mucheng."
"No need to say more. I know the severity of the matter." Mucheng's eyebrows sank slightly, and without giving him another chance to speak, she interrupted him and said, "If you don't say anything, no one will know."
People consider this to be a threat. The kind of explicit oppression made the other male cultivators tremble slightly.
"But... Just a report won't be enough to cover up this matter," the mean cultivator said unwillingly, turning his head to look at Ye Xiu, and the disgust in his eyes intensified.
Everyone knows that Mucheng is one of the three outstanding young cultivators in the sect. She is a role model among her peers and one of the most recognized beauties in the sect.
Now she is protecting Ye Xiu, a boy who has yet to mature in their eyes, which naturally attracts jealousy and anger.
"I hope Senior Sister must be very clear about both their qualifications. They can never enter our Ice Cave Heaven True Palace."
Another cultivator who stood next to him, with a bitter attitude, frowned and insisted, "Once they discover that you are hiding them in the sect, even the sect master won't be able to protect you. Please think twice, Senior Sister Mucheng."
After that, the cultivator boy begged.
Mucheng paused, did not answer the cultivator, but looked at Ye Xiu. "One month. I can only keep you for one month. What your possibilities are depends on your ability."
"Okay." Ye Xiu knows the intention of the cultivator boy's words. It seems that he is talking with Mucheng, but in fact, Mucheng wants him to compromise, causing no harm to the parties.
But he still wants to continue to insist on entering the sect, even if the hope is slim, even if it may implicate Mucheng.
He can't take care of anything now. He doesn't want to die, so he can only enter the Ice Cave Heaven True Palace and walk around their Sutra Pavilion to find his lifespan.
He wanted to find a way and go back to his world.
Seeing that Mucheng had made up her mind, the other two cultivators did not say much. A month was not a long time. If they did not say anything, they could indeed conceal the truth.
Swish!
Mucheng grabbed Ye Xiu's shoulder with one hand and held Ye Xianxing's hand with the other. She created a flying object and left. Flying in through the white clouds, they went to a peak.
...
The mountaintop had an ancient-style courtyard,
The building with azure tiles and hot springs formed a special area that looked very inconspicuous.
"You two will live here in the future and must not leave here." Mucheng took the two to the ground in front of the pavilion and landed.
"This is?" Ye Xiu asked.
"No, it's this place." Mucheng by a tree with green lotus starry steps and looked down at the mountains and rivers. "There is a barrier here. As long as you don't leave this peak, no one will notice you."
"Well, I know. Thank you for taking me in." Ye Xiu said.
"Thank you for taking me in, big sister. Um, when can we cultivate?" The nine-year-old girl, Ye Xianxing beside him, flashed her watery eyes.
"Xianxing, there's no rush to cultivation." Ye Xiu touched Ye Xianxing's little head and said with a smile before Mucheng. "Our bodies temporarily cannot withstand the power of opening up the Sea of Consciousness."
"Oh." Ye Xianxing said aggrievedly.
"It seems that you are quite self-aware." Mucheng glanced at the young man with her cold eyes. "Take the girl to the hot spring behind to freshen up. Tomorrow I will bring you some manuals and sutras on medicine from the library."
Although they stood from two different worlds, they understood each other tacitly. For a moment, Ye Xiu felt like he and Mucheng were friends who had known each other for a long time.
He nodded and joked. "If I, Ye Xiu, am not destined to die in the future, I will definitely marry you, senior sister."
Mucheng was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she laughed and asked a completely irrelevant question. "Is it because I'm beautiful?"
"Yes." Ye Xiu did not shy away from it and admitted generously. "If I was truly ordinary, I would never make such a joke, and I might even repay kindness with enmity... *cough, cough*..."
"What do you mean, truly ordinary?" Although Mucheng is a senior sister, she is still an eighteen-year-old girl and is still curious.
"In short, I can't tell you." Ye Xiu smiled slightly, then bowed and said seriously. "In addition, I would like to ask the Senior Sister for a small favor."
"Go ahead," Mucheng said.
"Although Xianxing and I both have the surname Ye, I am not her biological brother. Uh, that, it is inconvenient to help her go to the hot spring in the backyard to freshen up." Ye Xiu said, a little embarrassed, his eyes dodging, looking at the mountains and rivers on the side.
Looking at this boy who is sometimes tough and sometimes very interesting, he blushed and was embarrassed... Mucheng suddenly felt a little strange, as if the ocean met the sea.
"Senior Sister Mucheng? Hmm? Ah~" Ye Xiu lowered his contemptuous eyes and saw Mucheng was stunned for a while, then shook his head and shouted.
"My eyes are clouded." Mucheng's beautiful eyes remained calm, still with that kind of faint indifference, and then took Ye Xianxing's hand, leaving the area.
Regarding Mucheng's indifference, Ye Xiu didn't think much about it, curled his lips lightly, and then pouted a smile again.
Going under the tree shade, he took a deep breath. "Huh~ Different worlds, the same weather, the same mountains and rivers, everything is wonderful, I like it! But whoever sent me here, the only shortcoming of you letting me cross over, is that there is not enough time!"
After a while of sighing, Ye Xiu's worries were much less, especially the fragrance of the lily flower, which was refreshing and intoxicating.
Bored, Ye Xiu sat cross-legged and wanted to get lucky with some cultivation. He couldn't experience it personally in the game after all and now was his chance.
He wanted to know what the "cultivation" and so on that the other NPCs in the game obtained, and how strong they were...
