NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: It can't be that “he” has changed his sexual orientation, can it?
"Don't you know that there should be no physical contact between men and women?"
At this time, Lin Yuhe was extremely thick-skinned and giggled twice: "Hehe~ Of course I know that. But if Senior Brother doesn't answer my questions, I won't get down..."
"Anyway, Senior Brother won't do anything to me in the end."
It seemed that she had already guessed Shen Mu's concerns in his heart and was certain that he wouldn't dare to resist her actions.
"You..."
In fact, even without the identity of the female protagonist with extraordinary luck like Feng Aotian, Shen Mu knew that he couldn't afford to offend her at present.
After all, just relying on her family background of the Lin Clan, a single word from her could suppress countless weak characters like him.
However...
"Why don't you follow the original settings and the main storyline of the game?"
"Why do you have to compete with a nobody like me even for such things?"
Hearing him say such words, Lin Yuhe snorted directly and bent down her pink lips to his ear: "I don't want to continue my life according to the so-called settings..."
"My life... I want to be in charge of it myself."
Having finally transmigrated, it would be too boring if she continued along the original path in the game.
Moreover, she couldn't accept that her future life partner was arranged by the predetermined destiny.
Her life partner had to be someone she truly liked.
[Be careful. I sensed that someone around you is showing strong hostility towards you.]
Huh? Hostility?
The female voice that suddenly rang in her mind made Lin Yuhe frown slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Shen Mu under her.
[Don't look. It's not him.]
Lin Yuhe calmed down and carefully surveyed and sensed the surroundings...
"..."
Did it hide itself?
"Senior Brother Shen Mu?"
Suddenly, a young man's puzzled voice sounded behind the two of them, which made Shen Mu tremble and slowly turn around to look at the elegant figure in white clothes who was only ten steps away from him.
"Jiang... Jiangling..."
Damn it!
Why did he have to see this?
Shen Mu secretly thought it was bad. If he misunderstood what was going on between him and Lin Yuhe, then the karma between him and Jiangling would surely be unavoidable!
"Senior Brother Shen Mu, what are you doing? And who is this girl?" Jiangling slowly walked closer and showed a confused expression at the two people in the strange posture.
"Nothing. She's just Junior Sister Lin Yuhe who just joined our sect. She's having a tantrum with me over a trifle right now."
Shen Mu explained with an embarrassed smile and patted her arm. "Alright, that's enough. Do you want our fellow disciples to laugh at us?"
"..."
Lin Yuhe looked up at the handsome young man who had accidentally spoiled her plan and felt a bit unhappy in her heart.
However, considering the current situation and the protagonist's destiny that the young man carried, she finally let go of Shen Mu and jumped down from his back.
"Humph! You're lucky this time, Senior Brother. Next time, I won't let you off so easily."
With a light snort, Lin Yuhe turned around and left, not wanting to have too much interaction with the young man.
...
"Ouch... She used a lot of strength."
After Lin Yuhe disappeared from his sight, Shen Mu touched his neck which had been reddened by her grip and supported his waist.
"Does it hurt a lot, Senior Brother Shen Mu?" Jiangling showed concern in his eyes and took out a blue and white porcelain bottle. "I have some medicinal liquid for external injuries here. If you need it, I can help you apply it."
Shen Mu quickly waved his hand. "No need. I'm tough. This pain will go away soon."
Counting the first meeting at the recruitment conference, this is only the second time I've met him, right?
Why is he so concerned about me?
Shen Mu was suspicious and a bit puzzled by his inexplicable concern.
According to his understanding of the character of the original male protagonist at this stage, he should mostly ignore such things.
"...Okay."
There was a little pity in Jiangling's eyes, but he still chose to respect Shen Mu's wishes.
"By the way, Senior Brother Shen Mu, what exactly was the trifle that made you and that junior sister quarrel like that?"
"Probably because I took the commission task she wanted in advance. It's not a big deal."
Shen Mu slightly moved his head. "Alright, I should also get going. Thank you for helping me out today."
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely invite you to drink and make friends with you."
After a polite thank you, Shen Mu left in a hurry, afraid of having too many karmic entanglements with him again.
And Jiangling silently watched his back, and a pleasant smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
...
"Oh, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck..."
After leaving the sect, Shen Mu kept muttering on the road, still thinking about the things that happened with the two protagonists in the morning.
"Why did he suddenly care about me..."
Although they were fellow disciples in the same sect, it seemed that there was no reason for him to care about me.
Could it be that it's the impact brought about by the change of the storyline?
But what exactly is this impact?
"..."
It couldn't be that his sexual orientation has changed, right?
Hiss...
There shouldn't be such an absurd and disgusting setting change, right?
The more Shen Mu thought about it, the more complicated and strange he felt the development of the story was, and the more difficult it was for him to see his future clearly.
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to think about so many things. I'd better go to Lingjue Village first and get that thing as soon as possible."
Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about this problem for the time being.
Everything should just proceed according to his own plan.
...
[Why are you so persistent in competing with him for that commission task?]
"You don't understand the hidden benefits behind that commission task."
While hiding her own aura and following Shen Mu on the road, Lin Yuhe calmly replied to the female voice in her mind.
[Hidden benefits?]
[Hiss... How many secrets are you still hiding from me?]
"You'll know in the future."
"For now, you just need to believe that if you follow me, I will definitely reshape a top-quality physical body for you in the future and let you be reborn."
[Humph... Don't make such nice promises too early. Wait until you reach the Nascent Soul Realm before considering reshaping my physical body.]
After all, without reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, one can't even travel all over the Chiyou Continent.
Let alone going to the other eight continents to find the rare spiritual objects needed for reshaping her physical body.
...
In a mortal county town dozens of miles away from Xuanyong City.
Several heads of merchant families were gathered in the living room of the county magistrate's mansion, and all of them looked a bit anxious.
"Magistrate Chen, when on earth will the immortal masters you invited arrive?"
"Just this morning, when my caravan passed by that deserted village, it was attacked by that monster again. Both the people and the goods were gone!"
"Do you know how important that batch of goods is to me?"
A slightly fat merchant in a purple robe pounded the armrests of his chair twice with a "bang bang" sound, and his anxiety could no longer be suppressed.
"Magistrate Chen, we've given you real gold and silver. If you can't solve this problem as soon as possible, you know what we'll do."
"..."
Facing the hard-to-suppress anxious emotions of several family heads, the thin and tall middle-aged man sitting in the main seat was also sweating slightly on his forehead and felt a great deal of pressure.
"Everyone, don't worry. The specific commission has been sent to Xuanyong City. I believe immortal masters will come soon."
