Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 36: I knew that my brother couldn’t bear to hit me

[You didn't want to get entangled with this Young Master, but you also didn't want to expose your strength too soon. After all, the simulation had just begun, and Green Hills City had Immortal Slaves.]

[So, you revealed your identity, saying you were the young master of the Jiang Clan Firm, hoping he would back off.]

[Unfortunately, the Young Master sneered, saying you were just a merchant's son, while his father was the lord of the neighboring Bright Moon City, a high-ranking official appointed by the ruler of the Great Abyssal Kingdom.]

[He didn't take you seriously at all, even threatening to gouge out your eyes and bankrupt the Jiang Clan Firm.]

[You were speechless, thinking that the Intelligence Reduction Aura was really too harsh.]

[Just one glance at him, and it escalated to this?]

[The key point you didn't understand was how a city lord's son from Bright Moon City dared to speak like this.]

[Bright Moon City was just a small city, and there were at least tens of thousands of such city lords in the Great Abyssal Kingdom.]

[You thought that this city lord, if you really compared, was probably on the same level as a town mayor from your previous life!]

[It was one thing for a city lord's son to look down on you, a son of one of the nation's top wealthiest firms.]

[But he even wanted to shut down the Jiang Clan Firm, which had business across multiple countries.]

[You felt this was simply against common sense; anyone with a bit of brain wouldn't say such things.]

[Seeing that things couldn't be resolved peacefully, you were considering whether to reveal some of your martial strength and leave first.]

[At this moment, a woman's figure appeared, standing in front of you. She slapped the Young Master, sending him flying dozens of meters away.]

[With such force, everyone could see that the woman was no ordinary person. The Young Master's guards were too scared to act, and they left with their Young Master in disgrace.]

[However, as the Young Master left, he still shouted that he would be back and that you should wait.]

[The Young Master left, but the trouble didn't end.]

[Instead, it made you feel even more troubled.]

[Because the person who intervened was Qiu Zhixuan, the courtesan of the Spring Blossom Pavilion.]

[You knew she was an Immortal Slave.]

[You saw her looking at you affectionately, asking why you didn't come to listen to her song today, saying she missed you dearly.]

[You felt a chill in your heart.]

[Damn, another one affected by the Intelligence Reduction Aura.]

[Qiu Zhixuan wasn't like this before. Although she wasn't cold to you, she had never been so infatuated.]

[In the end, your plan to go to the Evergreen Mountain Range to retrieve the Mental Cultivation Method from the Heavenly Profound Temple ruins was delayed.]

[Helplessly, you followed Qiu Zhixuan to the Spring Blossom Pavilion and listened to her sing for half the night.]

[It was only late at night that you found an excuse to slip away.]

[Leaving the Spring Blossom Pavilion, you hurried towards the Evergreen Mountain Range under the cover of night.]

[With your strength, it should have taken only two or three days to cover the distance of a few thousand kilometers.]

[But this time, it took you a full half month to reach the Evergreen Mountain Range.]

[Along the way, you were constantly delayed by various inexplicable reasons whenever you encountered people.]

[For example, if you traveled too fast, some Young Master would say you were disrespecting him by overtaking his carriage and then cause trouble for you.]

[Or someone would say you were wearing the same color clothes as them, or you started walking with your left foot first... there were all sorts of bizarre reasons.]

[Besides being troubled, there were also some young ladies who would fall for you at first sight, even though you were just passing by.]

[This made you suffer greatly.]

[But overall, it wasn't too bad. Apart from wasting some time, it didn't cause you any substantial trouble.]

[So you didn't pay much attention to it.]

[After arriving at the Heavenly Profound Temple ruins, you cleaned up the place as usual.]

[Then you buried the bones and obtained the Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method "Heavenly Profound Art."]

[In the following time, you continued to refine your Golden Core.]

[Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and while you were cultivating, you suddenly heard someone calling your name.]

[You opened your eyes and saw that it was Qiu Zhixuan.]

[This made your heart skip a beat, and you became a bit flustered.]

[You couldn't understand why Qiu Zhixuan was here. This had never happened in previous simulations.]

[You quickly looked around and found that only Qiu Zhixuan was there, which calmed you down a bit.]

[She was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, the same level as you.]

[You thought she was not a threat, so you secretly gathered your spiritual energy, preparing to strike first.]

[But before you could act, you saw Qiu Zhixuan looking at you affectionately, questioning why you hadn't come to listen to her sing for two months and why you were hiding in this deep mountain.]

[Her tearful look made it seem as if you had wronged her.]

[You were unmoved, not considering whether what she said was true or false.]

[You only knew that she was an Immortal Slave, and if she saw you cultivating, you would be in danger if you didn't kill her.]

[So when Qiu Zhixuan approached, you chose to attack without warning.]

[But just as your attack was about to reach Qiu Zhixuan, you saw her body shift, easily dodging it.]

[Seeing this scene made you frown; this was not the outcome you had imagined!]

[You remembered that in previous simulations, you had successfully ambushed many Foundation Establishment Immortal Slaves.]

[You didn't expect Qiu Zhixuan to be an exception this time, with such remarkable body techniques.]

[This made you more vigilant.]

[After all, your current combat relied solely on spiritual energy and physical strength; you hadn't learned any combat techniques.]

[Unlike your vigilance, Qiu Zhixuan looked at you intently, tears streaming down her face, and said aggrievedly, "You actually hit me!"]

[Minutes passed as you continuously attacked Qiu Zhixuan, but she only dodged and looked at you pitifully, without counterattacking.]

[By now, you realized something was wrong.]

[With the body techniques Qiu Zhixuan displayed, if she wanted to leave, you couldn't stop her.]

[If she wanted to kill you, she could use her body techniques to her advantage, or leave and find stronger Immortal Slaves to kill you.]

[Suddenly, you thought of the Intelligence Reduction Aura.]

[Could it be that this talent had made Qiu Zhixuan, an Immortal Slave, so infatuated with you that she had given up her mission to kill cultivators?]

[You were astonished and thought, "No way!"]

[Thinking this, you paused your attacks and asked Qiu Zhixuan why she was here.]

[But your hand was tightly gripping the Teleportation Jade Plate, ready to teleport away at any sign of danger!]

[Seeing you stop attacking, Qiu Zhixuan smiled and said, "I knew Brother Yifeng couldn't bear to really hit me."]

[Hearing her sweet voice, you felt a chill in your heart.]

[You thought, "It's not that I can't bear to hit you; I want to kill you, but I just can't do it!"]
