After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 34

Wifey, I Like You...

“Hiss... Phew... Cough, cough, cough, cough...”

Liu Yuan was hiding in an alley. When he sensed that Pihuan Luo had finally left, he leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. Then, he slowly exhaled and coughed a few times before he felt his lungs and heart calm down.

However, the nerves in his temples were still throbbing, and he felt a dull pain.

It was too f*cking terrifying ...

This was what it meant to find love in a hopeless place?!

In comparison, the fight between Ning Xiangrong and Gu Siyin was a piece of cake. These two people’s personalities were actually quite simple, and their jealousy would not go to the level of threatening a life. It was fine if they were joking about cutting killing for the sake of love, but...

Pihuan Luo was different. This woman’s decisiveness and ruthlessness were completely evil. She was able to make people fear her in the demon sect, which often killed people to offer sacrifices to the Heavens. In addition to the advantage of her status as the daughter of the Sect Master, she also had absolute strength.

She was at the eighth level of the form Synthesis stage, and he had killed countless people. She tortured people with cruel means.

Pihuan Luo was the true Rakshasa Demoness who sang in blood!

Why was this woman here?

Could it be that it really was that higher-up from the demonic sect...

If that was the case, he would have to meet her again, and have a direct conversation with her!

“How am. supposed to live like this...”

Liu Yuan gritted his teeth with a twisted expression. He wished he could give himself a few big slaps a few days ago. Who told you to be full of confidence? Who told you to get so cocky? Don’t you know how powerful the law of causality is?

Calm down, I have to calm down. I can’t panic at a time like this. I need a time machine to fix this...

Liu Yuan scratched his head and roared for a while. He leaned against the wall and squatted down, feeling as if he had been abandoned by the world.

“No, that’s not right,” he mumbled, “even if she came to the Water Moon Dock to take care of Chiyu Villa’s matters, there’s no reason for her to appear in this town. This place isn’t on the route from the Water Moon Dock to the manor, so why...”

“Eight-armed Heavenly Demon!” Liu Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

As if he had found a bright spot, he stood up excitedly. “Yes, the only thing here that is related to the demonic sect is the eight-armed demon.”

The demon sect been looking for this thing, right? Then, for some unknown reason, this news reached the ears and eyes of the demonic sect, which was why they sent a high-level member like the Holy Maiden over!

“The storyline that I’m participating in now is no longer the main storyline, but something hidden behind the main storyline, such as cutting off the contact with the spies in Water Moon Dock... So it’s possible that the demon sect people came to look for clues in places that the players don’t know.”

Liu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. “Good, good. The butterfly effect hasn’t gone out of control yet. After all, she’s also a demonic Holy Maiden. It’s impossible for her to run out just to look for me.”

In this way, the situation would not be so serious. As long as he could hide it this time, he believed that he would be able to be at ease for a period of time, enough for him to improve his strength.

“Hmph, I’ve already fooled you once. Do you think I’ll be afraid of you a second time?” Liu Yuan laughed smugly, but quickly restrained himself. “No, I can’t get cocky anymore. I’m a dog if I get carried away!”

After making the vicious oath, Liu Yuan realized that he had already run into Yinping Alley. He estimated that he was not far from the place where Gu Chang lived, so he decided to go and take a look.

Although Pihuan Luo had come in person, the eight-armed demon was not easy to find. It was different from what people who had never seen the demon race imagined. It did not have a physical body, but a mass of black smoke-like miasma.

If one had to make a comparison, it was probably like Aladdin’s magic lamp.

According to the official explanation, the demon race was a race of pure spiritual beings. After leaving the Demon Realm, they needed a shell to survive, and humans were the best hosts.

Although the monsters and spirit beasts could also do it, most of them did not have high compatibility and would soon turn into a pool of mud.

Liu Yuan did not know much about this. In any case, the official announcement from the developers had already stated that the demons would be the main force of the large-scale invasion in the next version’s patch, and the players needed to fight against them together.

Until he transmigrated, other than the players being divided into factions, there had not been any large-scale instance related to the demon race.

When Liu Yuan was conquering the NPCs, the Sea Slashing Tower was the first line of defense between the Human and Demon Realms. The Demon Realm began to show signs of a frontal invasion, and the Sea Slashing Tower instance dungeon was opened in that plot.

As for the so-called Demon Realm, because the map was not open, there was only a little bit of information, and most players did not know what was going on.

In any case, Shangyang was divided into three layers. At the top was the Heaven Realm’s Floating City, in the middle was the Human Realm’s Great Continent, and at the bottom, through the crack at the bottom of the sea, was the Demon Realm’s Mansion.

Liu Yuan guessed that it was all magma below. The temperature was too high, so the demons were all in a gaseous state.

...For some reason, it was rather scientific.

“Whatever it is... It’s not wrong to build a good relationship with this child. Now, he seems to have met an old man who wants to suppress the demon race and teach him Immortal cultivation.”

Liu Yuan was about to leave when he realized that he was still holding the Moon Mirror Jade in his hand.

He clenched it so tightly that her hands were numb.

I’m really traumatized...

Liu Yuan quickly put it away and rubbed his knuckles. He gritted his teeth and said, “When my cultivation base rises, I’ll make this demoness obedient and not be as nervous as I am now.”

However, he had gained something from this trip. At least, he had lit up new illustration cards and his cultivation had risen to the Nascent Soul stage.

Liu Yuan, who was relieved, was not in a bad mood anymore. He pretended to pass by the small courtyard where Gu Chang lived inadvertently and took a glance.

He did not see Gu Chang, but he did see Gu Chang’s mother.

The woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, had a fair and pretty face. She was thin and had a sharp chin. Her long hair fell on both sides of her slightly sweaty cheeks. She was washing clothes and looked very gentle and virtuous.

it was Lady Wan, who was an advocate in her early years and was good at singing and dancing. After she was pregnant, she redeemed herself and washed clothes for others to make a living.

Wifey, I like you...

No, this was not the time to think about such things.

Liu Yuan shook his head and retracted his wild thoughts. In the plot, he remembered that Lady Wan would die later on. As for how she died, the game had only briefly mentioned it.

Perhaps he could try to save her?

Just as Liu Yuan was thinking about this, he wanted to go in and have a chat with Lady Wan to see the situation.

Suddenly, he saw a short, white, and fat guy who was like a ball walking over from the alley not far away. He looked travel-worn as he held the layers of fat on his belly. His eyes were narrowed into a line, revealing a trace of anxiety.

Liu Yuan stood in place, frowning, and instantly hid his tracks.

Ding Liu?

Why did he come here from Xichang Town?
