Chapter 223, [Double Standard Dog] (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xun took a long time to come out, supposedly he had forgotten something and had to go back to get it, but he took longer than when he was shopping before.
Ji Li noticed a young girl escorting Lu Xun all the way to the door when he came out, how enthusiastic she was!
Ji Li was a bit perplexed, wondering what he had gotten that made the young girl so happy?
But she didn’t think too much about it, and obediently followed him as he simply told her, “Let’s go.”
After they left the Treasury Pavillion, the paper crane ascended into the sky, and Lu Xun took off his bamboo hat.
Ji Li was sitting by, seemingly admiring the scenery, but actually sneaking glances at Lu Xun.
The paper crane flew for a long time in the air, and after nightfall, they put together some wild game to satisfy their cravings.
After they were full, the two rested for a while before moving on to their daily cultivation practice.
Recently, Lu Xun has been personally training with Ji Li every day. He didn’t know how to guide her, so he could only continuously defeat her to push her to learn from her losses.
“Whoosh——!” Lu Xun’s Sword Qi flew past Ji Li’s flanks. It seemed like an accident when her hairpin was cut into two.
Ji Li’s dark tresses flowed down, adding a soft and alluring allure to her.
She touched her hair, not angry that her hairpin was broken. She chuckled and said, “I lost again.”
Ji Li tidied up her slightly messy hair. In front of Lu Xun, she cared quite a bit about her appearance.
Lu Xun took out a red jade hairpin from his storage ring and tossed it to Ji Li, saying, “Here, this is for you.”
Ji Li caught it with both hands and felt a slight warmth in her palms from holding the red jade hairpin.
The design of the red jade hairpin was quite simple, entirely in a dark red hue. After carefully sensing it, she looked up in surprise and exclaimed, “A Spiritual Artifact!”
Lu Xun nodded. This was an Inferior Blue Equipment he had just bought from the Treasury Pavillion, nearly exhausting all his remaining Spirit Stones.
“It’s called Red Makeup, an Inferior Spiritual Artifact. It’s well-suited for a Fire Element Cultivator like you.” Lu Xun explained.
“It has a calming effect that can help you enter a meditative state more quickly during cultivation.”
“Moreover, under the stimulation of Fire Element Power, it can generate a fire lotus with considerable power.”
After he explained all the effects of the Red Makeup, in a way that most men are proficient at- straightforward and easy to understand.
Ji Li asked, “Lu Xun, this hairpin… is it very expensive?”
“Pshaw! As a Young Elder of the mighty Demon Sect, do you think I’d lack money? It’s just a drop in the bucket!” Lu Xun responded nonchalantly.
Internally though, he was pondering how to wrangle money from his third brother when he returned to the Sect.
Then he said to Ji Li, “The wind is strong tonight, and your hair looks like that of a ghost woman in the wind, why don’t you hurry and tie it up?”
Ji Li looked at him and responded softly with a “Hm.”
When she’d tied her hair up again with the red jade hairpin and made a turn in front of Lu Xun, she asked him, “Lu Xun, does it look good?”
“Yes, very nice.” Lu Xun complimented.
In his heart, however, he thought, “When I tried it on at the store, I seemed to look better in it, didn’t I?”
Like every other night, they spent it cultivating.
The daily training bouts made Ji Li realize how far she was from being able to attack Lu Xun in the night.
But, as they say: I, Ji Li, never give up!
Furthermore, they were together day and night now, day after day, who knows if they could fall in love over time?
The size of your dreams should be as big as your ambition!
I, Ji Li, am a young girl with lofty aspirations!
The next day, Ji Li was still in charge of guiding the paper crane. Having received a hairpin from Lu Xun, she could stay happy for a while.
Lu Xun even began to wonder, did it matter if it was a Spiritual Artifact? Even if he gave Ji Li a chopstick as a hairpin, she could probably be happy about it for a day.
Having nothing to do, he then browsed the forum.
As expected, the White Emperor had been the talk of the forum lately. In the mixed bag of the forum, there were all kinds of people. Where there were people praising, there would also be people denigrating.
Today, a player posted saying that the White Emperor no longer serves much purpose for most players.
“Well, it might be true, but why does it annoy me so much?” Lu Xun thought to himself.
This gave him the feeling of being a washed-up male idol.
Another player responded: “If the White Emperor comes to my area, I will definitely go see him, but I’m sure there’s nothing good to learn from him.”
“Bullshit! Don’t you want to learn Eagle’s Claw, such a practical skill? I’ve wanted to learn it for a long time! Whimpers!”
“Sigh, it’s hard to let go of such handsome NPC as the White Emperor.”
While reading these posts, Lu Xun thought to himself: “They are still too young.”
He soon arrived at the Three Thousand Mountains area but did not notify players of his arrival in advance.
When he descended from the sky, it instantly sparked a crowd of spectators.
Although everyone generally believed that the skills taught by White Emperor were no longer useful, they couldn’t resist his charm!
A small group of players even bought a bottle of wine specifically to chat with the White Emperor. They were shocked to discover that the White Emperor had seven more skills in his skill bar!
“Damn! These skills are too tempting!”
“It’s over, I’m going to become a showoff!”
“I won’t use my experience points to learn such impractical skills. I refuse to… it’s too irresistible!”
The news slowly spread, especially when a player immediately used the flashy new skill after learning it, causing the surrounding silly players to cast envious glances.
It seems… rather impressive!
Although it takes a lot of experience points to learn these skills, my reason tells me not to, but… I just can’t resist!
These types of skills really satisfy the vanity of these silly players.
Many players started to show off on the forum right after learning the skills.
That day, players once again remembered the fear of being dominated by useless but attractive things like skins, special effects, and fashion!
Who cares about attributes, I just want to be dazzling!
I can’t help it, I really can’t help it!
You may not believe it, but it was my hand that chose to learn!
It’s so damn good to spend these experience points!
Within a short period of time, Lu Xun harvested a hundred thousand experience points.
“These silly players continue to be as adorable as ever,” he thought to himself.
All the female players who learned Heavenly Woman Scattering Flowers thought they had become little fairies.
Male players thought they were now on par with the White Emperor in terms of charm.
“Spending a little experience to boost self-confidence is quite nice.” Lu Xun suddenly felt more enthusiastic.
Players from other regions also expressed their jealousy on the forum. They wished to learn the skill and hoped the White Emperor would come to their area soon!
Demon Sect players were lamenting on the forum.
The White Emperor used to stay in the Demon Sect region, why didn’t he teach us these skills?
Are we not worthy to be handsome?
Little did they know, Lu Xun was steadfast in his stance.
Other kids being undisciplined doesn’t matter. As long as they bring profits, let them be. But my own children… damn it, go study something useful!
If you learn this skill, I’ll break your legs!
The sexy White Emperor, maintaining double standards online.
Meanwhile, accurately catering to the players’ needs is the way to never become obsolete!
