The Journey of a Passerby's Elder Brother Being Courted by Feng Ao Tia

Chapter 5: This heroine seems to have no sense of boundaries



"Master, I have no objection if you want to take in disciples, but you should at least tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared, right?"

After Lin Yuhe and Tang Yueyao had both returned to their respective spiritual peak cave dwellings, Shen Mu couldn't help but complain to Luo Qingling with a helpless look on his face.

Luo Qingling's expression was calm as she asked unhurriedly, "It seemed that you've been rather wary of that Lin Yuhe all day today. Tell me, Master, did you two have some acquaintance in the past?"

"Not really..."

Although they were both from the same planetary kingdom, this was only their second encounter so far.

"Then why are you afraid of her? Even if she's the eldest miss of the Lin family, here in our Wind Spirit Immortal Sect, could she really devour you alive?"

"Or is there some hidden and secret relationship between you two?"

Luo Qingling wasn't stupid. Since there had been no acquaintance before and no grudges either.

The only explanation left was that there was some hidden relationship between them that she didn't know about.

Otherwise, why would he be so extremely wary of her when it was their first meeting?

"How could that be..." Seeing that Luo Qingling was getting closer to the truth, Shen Mu had an idea in a moment of desperation and came up with a reason.

"Actually... when I was young, I met a reclusive immortal traveling around the world. He said that I was fated to meet a bane that would bring me deadly disasters."

"This person's surname is Lin, born into a large and powerful immortal cultivating family, a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy, with the True Phoenix's Heavenly Fate."

"If I were to meet this person in the future, I should avoid them as much as possible. When the critical moment comes, I might be able to avoid death."

After making up this reason, Shen Mu carefully observed the changes in Luo Qingling's expression.

He found that there was not only no doubt in her eyes but rather a solemn and thoughtful look, as if she somewhat believed this reason.

"..."

"Did that immortal mention any other ways to overcome the disasters?"

After pondering for a moment, Luo Qingling asked with a serious expression, which was completely different from her usual lazy image.

Seeing this, Shen Mu continued to make up an answer: "Yes, but it requires the opportunity of defying the heavens and changing one's fate to befall me."

"And Master, you know that this kind of opportunity is something that can hardly be sought after. There's basically no chance of encountering it."

"Even if I did encounter it, with my level of strength and luck, I couldn't compete with those extremely talented geniuses..."

As he spoke, Shen Mu's tone became more and more desolate, quite like a dejected person with low spirits and a sense of despair.

Seeing her disciple like this, Luo Qingling didn't feel good about asking more questions.

"If you want to go into seclusion, then do it. But when I call for you, you must come to me immediately."

"Your disciple will surely obey your orders, Master."

After saying that, Luo Qingling flew away.

"..."

Why do I feel that... Master has become a bit strange too?

In the past, she wouldn't have cared about me like this.

...

The night was cool, and the pool and the forest reflected the moonlight.

Jiang Ning'er took off her white clothes, untied the ribbons binding her chest one by one, revealing her already well-developed young girl's figure.

Then, her smooth black hair that reached her waist spread out naturally, and her tender and white toes gently touched the surface of the pool filled with spiritual mist...

The young girl's delicate and fair body gradually sank into the spiritual pool like this...

"Hu..."

When her jade-like shoulders were parallel to the water surface, she let out a long breath, with a look of unprecedented relaxation on her face.

There was also a faint hint of joy in her eyes as she looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"Brother Shen Mu..."

At this moment, she whispered softly, and her voice was no longer that of a child but more like a gentle and delicate young girl in love.

"Two years since we last met..."

"You're still the same as before... just like when we first met..."

Thinking of that figure as beautiful as a painting and as ethereal as snow that was deeply engraved in her memory, her lips couldn't help but curve slightly, and a bit of pink flushed on her face.

"It's just a pity... I can't meet you now in my real appearance and identity..."

"Otherwise..."

"I really want to see what kind of expression you'll have when you see how much I've grown up now."

The young girl always remembered that short period of time when she was with him.

Although it was less than a month, it had opened up a whole new life for her and led her into a much broader new world.

And since then...

She began to have expectations for the rest of her life.

...

The next day.

Shen Mu arrived early at the Tianxing Pavilion, where the sect tasks were assigned, planning to take on a rather special and simple task to obtain a rather special incomplete divine artifact and also to avoid the limelight of the protagonist group.

This incomplete divine artifact was a hidden item in the game. It didn't appear at all throughout the main storyline. There were only some fragmented records and legends about it. It was extremely well-hidden.

If it weren't for the fact that he was making a speedrun guide video and aiming to collect everything in the game's illustrated handbook, perhaps he wouldn't even have known of its existence even after finishing the main storyline.

As for why he wanted to obtain it now...

Naturally, it was because of the auxiliary effect it brought, which could make a cultivator's early-stage cultivation transition quite comfortable, basically without too much pressure.

Now, if he wanted to change his current situation of being besieged on all sides, he had to seize the opportunity when this task was refreshed and get it.

Otherwise, if he missed it, it would be very difficult for him to defy the heavens and change his fate.

After all...

Three Kun years from now would be his time of death.

Fortunately, since that task was neither conspicuous nor offered good rewards, few people were willing to take it on.

Even the NPCs in this world didn't fancy it.

Only an outsider like him who had a deep understanding of the details of this task would be interested in taking it on.

"Are you sure you want to take on this commissioned task?"

The elder of the pavilion, who had just hung the task jade token on the commission board, looked at the first sect disciple who came to take the task jade token today with a suspicious look and asked.

"Yes, disciple is sure."

Shen Mu looked at the task jade token engraved with the words "Lingjue" in his hand, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and put it into his storage ring.

However, unexpected events often happen.

"Senior Brother, you've come to take on a commissioned task so early today?"

A lively and charming girl's voice rang out behind Shen Mu. He knew that this "bane" had arrived again.

"What I do has nothing to do with you, right?" Shen Mu's attitude was cold, and his words were full of resistance towards her.

"Coincidentally, I also wanted to take on a commission to fill my purse a bit."

Lin Yuhe didn't pay too much attention to Shen Mu's cold attitude. She walked briskly to the commission board and carefully scanned all the task jade tokens hung there.

Strange, why isn't there the task for Lingjue Village? It should be just the right time for it to appear.

Could it be...

After finding that the task she wanted wasn't on the board, she gradually turned her gaze to Shen Mu, who was from the same planet as her.

"Senior Brother, what task did you just take on?" She narrowed her eyes with a kind and sweet smile and asked softly.

"I've said it. My affairs have nothing to do with you."

Seeing that this girl was probably also here to take on the Lingjue Village task, Shen Mu coldly replied and then walked away quickly without another word.

But after stepping out of the pavilion, Lin Yuhe made a very fast flying pounce and in the blink of an eye, she pounced onto Shen Mu's back!

In an instant, her legs locked around his waist, and one hand tightly wrapped around his neck, giving him a "Love Stronger than Gold Seven-Day Lock".

"Senior Brother~ Just tell me~"

"Damn it!" Shen Mu had no intention of feeling the warm softness of the girl's body. He immediately cursed.

"Hurry up and get off me! Can't you, as a woman, have some sense of boundaries between men and women!"
