3 003,?Good Attitude?

The information Lu Xun was able to glean from the Wedding Sword in his eyes was somewhat limited. Apart from the sword’s name being yellow, indicating it’s a Yellow Martial, all the other information was question marks.

This means his level is too low to view it.

In the game, equipment is often classified. They usually fall under categories such as Green Martial, Blue Martial, Purple Martial, Orange Martial…

Who would have thought that the color green, often associated with health, gradually evolved into Yellow Martial due to players’ dislike of it.

Who doesn’t love the color yellow?

In “Heavenly Dust”, the level corresponding to various equipment is Mortal Iron, Magic Artifact, Spiritual Artifact, Immortal Artifact, and Divine Artifact. According to these five levels, the names of the equipment correspond to the colors Gray, Yellow, Blue, Purple, and Orange—a complete pile of earthy settings.

Since the Wedding Sword is a Yellow Martial, it means it’s a Magic Artifact.

In the early days of the game, a Magic Artifact was certainly considered precious.

Although Lu Xun didn’t give much thought to it while playing the game, now that a real Yellow Martial was directly in front of him, he wanted to ask, “Miss, can I touch your treasure?”

He was a little envious~

Ji Li had good Qinggong and was astonishingly strong. Even while holding Lu Xun, she moved fast. She, however, seemed to be in a great hurry.

Lu Xun thought to himself, “Is she so eager because she’s spotted me as a Furnace Cauldron? Young girls should be more reserved. Anyone would think she’s being hunted.”

After a lot of running around, Ji Li successfully got lost in the small woods.

From her looks of confusion, Lu Xun could tell, she didn’t know the way anymore.

Even though Lu Xun had crossed over from a game with a built-in map, he found his exact bearings just as elusive.

With Lu Xun in her right hand and the Wedding Sword in her left, Ji Li threw the Wedding Sword into the air quite like tossing a coin and caught it.

The tip of the sword pointed to the left.

Ji Li gave a slight nod, then ran off to the right.

Lu Xun, who observed this detail, was a bit baffled.

Now, he’s just being carried around and surprisingly doesn’t feel the bumpy ride.

In any case, it’s not like she’ll run around the woods forever. Eventually, they’ll have to go to the city. Luckily for Lu Xun, the city was his destination too, and their objectives coincided.

So, isn’t it pleasant not to travel on your own?

He figured he’s ridden a mount.

…

…

Of course, Ji Li was oblivious that she’s been reduced to a mount by Lu Xun.

After darting through the woods for a while with her ancestral Qinggong, Ji Li quickly ran out of energy.

Exhausted Ji Li, with her exhausted Qi, found a secluded spot. She wanted to throw the man she’d been carrying, Lu Xun, away, but when she looked down at his face, she gently placed him down instead.

Lu Xun tidied his clothes and began sizing up the young devilish woman once more.

Yes, strictly speaking; she should be called a devil woman.

Since ancient times, good and evil can never be reconciled. Practicing Demonic Arts, she must indeed be categorized as a devil woman.

But Lu Xun, being a veteran player of “Heavenly Dust”, is very familiar with most game plots.

Major plot changes in the game, commonly known as ‘chaos’, have little to do with these so-called devils; it’s mainly caused by those ‘Righteous Sects’.

Simply put, those practicing the Demonic Arts definitely consist of many evildoers, but not all are evil. Those practicing the Righteous Paths definitely consist of many good people, but not all are virtuous.

However, from Lu Xun’s standpoint, since she wanted to use him as a Furnace Cauldron, they were definitely on the opposition.

After all, this practice could result in death.

When Ji Li observed her surroundings and finally let out a sigh of relief, she thought, “Phew, we lost them again.”

Even though she was a martial arts prodigy, she was young and outnumbered. There was nothing she could do.

Despite her Wedding Sword merely being a Magic Artifact (Yellow Martial) and her cultivation technique being of the Demonic Arts, to those in the martial world, both were treasures.

When Ji Li turned around, she noticed Lu Xun watching her.

This man, who was caught up in all this out of nowhere, was looking at her with a calm expression on her face, without a speck of panic.

Although he was a regular person without a shred of Qi, he didn’t falter.

Simply stated, he looked like someone who was no stranger to adventure.

All the way, Ji Li had mentally prepared many ways to intimidate and persuade him. However, after looking at him now, she didn’t know how to broach the subject.

On the other hand, seeing her reaction, combined with the noticeable naivety in her nature, and an inexplicable boost in favorability, Lu Xun was put at ease.

“My name is Lu Xun. What’s yours?” he asked.

Although Ji Li originally had a false name prepared, she ended up saying “Ji…Ji Li,” upon seeing Lu Xun’s seemingly gentle and elegant smile.

“Ji Li?” Lu Xun echoed in his heart. He hadn’t heard this name in “Heavenly Dust”, she must not be an important character.

Just as he was about to make casual talk, his stomach grumbled, “gurgle, gurgle~”

Given Ji Li’s acute hearing, she heard it loud and clear, “Even with such a transcendent countenance, isn’t he an ordinary mortal after all?” she asked herself.

However, the next moment—”gurgle, gurgle”—her stomach also made a few noises.

Well, she’s no different.

There is indeed a vast difference between martial artists and the legendary immortals who can abstain from eating.

She reached into her bosom and retrieved the last piece of dry bread wrapped in a cloth.

After some contemplation, she tore the bread in half.

She glanced at Lu Xun and handed over the larger piece, she then, in a feigned cold maneuver, said, “Here!”

After shoving it into Lu Xun’s hand, she turned around and sat down without looking at him while she started eating her share.

Well, as long as she didn’t look at him openly, a few sneaky glances wouldn’t hurt!

Lu Xun received the bread, feeling it must have cooled by now, but it still had a hint of warmth on its surface. And furthermore, it had come from her bosom…

And as a normal man, Lu Xun didn’t mind where the bread had come from, especially since it was wrapped in cloth.
