Inside the Lai Fu Inn, Ji Li followed Lu Xun’s gaze to the entrance. She made eye contact with the newcomer.

The visitor was dressed in black and was estimated to be over one meter eighty-five tall, noticeably taller than Lu Xun.

The one in black was quite fat, his entire body resembling a sphere.

This just confirmed the saying, “Every story has its fat character,” though normally, it would be a male character. Yet the newcomer was a woman.

She seemed to be doing her best to style herself as a celestial, striving to fit the worldly impression of immortal figures, but her size made such attempts futile.

The reason Lu Xun noticed her, was because he knew that she was indeed a cultivator.

Whilst she was fat, she could actually fly, like a hot air balloon.

Her name was Murong Yan. Her parents probably wished her to be as light and free as a swallow, yet instead she turned out to be a stumbling block.

The reason why Lu Xun knew of her and remembered her name, was because she played the role of the “Novice Village Mentor” after the public-testing stage, although she was not the mentor for newbies of Wei county, but of the neighbouring Qingmu county.

It was unclear why she happened to be in Wei county now.

There are numerous cultivators’ sects in “Heavenly Dust”. So many, in fact, that they can’t be counted. But if there is a sect, they would certainly recruit disciples, always walking the path of sustainable development.

Therefore, the traces of real-life cultivators are not untraceable. They take every opportunity to show off in the mortal world in order to recruit more disciples!

Just like prestigious universities that don’t worry about a lack of applicants, while those wild/fowl universities persist in the philosophy of cheating every one of them they can.

As long as they have the qualifications to cultivate, they cheat every one they encounter. Many novice players are initially led down the wrong path, assuming they have a bright future, only to regretfully delete their accounts and start over after some time.

However, Murong Yan was different, as she did not graduate from a wild/fowl university. Her sect was considered prestigious in the Heavenly Dust Continent. Nevertheless, her sect was a bit special…

Murong Yan, who was standing at the door, naturally saw Lu Xun and Ji Li looking at her. Since she was accustomed to gaining attention, she wasn’t surprised.

However, she gave a slight pause when she saw the appearance of Lu Xun.

In the cultivators’ sect, attractive people were not uncommon – there were, in fact, quite a few.

Life was so cruel: when granting an exceptional talent, life often also bestowed good looks.

——But it gave nothing to you.

Nevertheless… she had never come across anyone as handsome as Lu Xun. As experienced as she was, she had to admit that he was the most handsome man she had ever met.

After exchanging glances with her, Lu Xun turned away from her, paying his dues to the waiter, and asked him to lead Ji Li and himself to their rooms.

The waiter turned towards Murong Yan and said with an amiable smile, “Gentle Lady, please wait while I took the other two guests upstairs first. I will be back shortly.”

Murong Yan nodded, she didn’t put on airs at all. She took a seat on the bench, which creaked under her weight.

Poor bench.

As she watched Lu Xun and the others going upstairs, she could not help but gasp softly when she saw Ji Li’s Wedding Sword.

With her sharp sight, she could naturally tell that it was a magical sword, and that Ji Li was just a common young girl in the martial arts world.

“It’s a crime to carry jade.” Murong Yan murmured.

…

…

After going upstairs, Lu Xun entered room number one. To his surprise, Ji Li also went in.

“What are you doing? Are you insisting on staying together?” Lu Xun asked, puzzled.

It was hard to tell whether Ji Li’s face was red behind her veil, but her ears certainly were. She said, “I’m going to sell these weapons, are you coming?”

“No,” Lu Xun waved her off lazily.

Clearly, Ji Li hadn’t given up. This bratty girl still hoped to use him as her alchemy furnace, evidently worried that he might escape.

“Then… I can give you half of the money from selling them?” Ji Li suggested.

Lu Xun: “…”

Looking at Ji Li, he said seriously, “They are clearly my spoils of war, I was the one who gave them to you.”

“But I carried them back from the journey!” The heavy hammer in her hand slipped a little. Ji Li lifted it slightly, and complained.

Alright, he would stop teasing her. Money didn’t really matter to Lu Xun. He already had enough for now.

After a few seconds, Lu Xun stroked his chin, saying, “I suppose I could go with you…”

“If you take off your veil for me to see.” He said, smiling.

Actually, he had been thinking about taking Ji Li out for a while. After seeing Murong Yan, Lu Xun had a new idea. It also formed the initial plan for his future development.

As for asking Ji Li to take off her veil, he was simply teasing her, out of curiosity for her appearance.

Although he hadn’t heard of her name while playing “Heavenly Dust” and knew she wasn’t an important character, she was still his companion for the journey and briefly his mount. Was it wrong to want to see her face?

Besides, it was the first time he had met a young girl planning to capture him for her alchemical furnace. He thought it was quite interesting, and felt that he should at least know what she looked like.

Ji Li, who had been hanging her head initially, immediately turned around on hearing this. She hurried to the door while saying in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, “Then I… I will go back to my room and tidy up first.”

Lu Xun: “…”

He instantly regretted asking her to remove her veil.

It wasn’t until a quarter of an hour later that Lu Xun heard a knock at the door.

He opened the door and looked down, immediately bursting into laughter.

I am an emotionless level grinder, professionally trained, and strive not to laugh no matter how funny things are, unless I can’t help it.

The girl, who kept talking about capturing him to be her alchemical furnace, was quite developed. Based on her size, Lu Xun didn’t think she was that young.

But what did he see now in front of him?

Bright eyes, white teeth, and an incredibly cute face. Lu Xun even thought she had some baby fat left!

You’re a middle school student!

A young girl barely a teenager was already thinking of finding an alchemical furnace. Your thoughts lack proper education! You need some purification!

Ji Li wasn’t that tall to begin with. Now upon looking closer, she seemed like a middle school girl who had put something in her clothes to give her chest volume – a little girl who had a bit of an eager puberty!

Seeing Lu Xun laughing so heartily, she was stunned at first, but then it dawned on her, “I should be angry now!”

Thus, she said indignantly, “I knew you would laugh!”

Upon getting agitated, her little face became even rounder. “Humph! I’m not as small as you think! I am pretty big!” She looked up with her chest puffed.

“Oh? How big are you then?” Lu Xun asked, grinning.

“I’m 16! I just have a baby face!” Ji Li looked up at him, tip-toeing for some reason.

16 years old, on Earth, she would still be a child, but in this world, that was the age at which girls got married.

There were young girls getting married at the age of eleven or twelve in some of the little villages, child marriages also being a common sight.

This world is full of malice towards young girls.

Now looking back, this bratty girl was simply born with a baby face along with… ahem.

“She’s three years younger than Lu Yu, huh.” Lu Xun was reminded of his younger sister back on Earth.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

“knock knock knock——”
