On the streets of Qingling City, Lu Xun, clad in a black robe, his hand on his sword sheath and a bamboo hat adorning his head, managed to draw frequent attention from pedestrians, even with his face covered, thanks to his towering stature and distinctive aura.

Real life proved that a charisma of 10 couldn’t be entirely hidden just by donning a veil.

That’s how Lu Xun found himself wandering the streets, hoping to

“accidentally run into” some goofy players, when he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

“Xiao Ran?” Lu Xun gasped at the sight of the woman in a green robe.

He took a few more glances. Although the woman appeared younger than he remembered, he was sure it was Xiao Ran! He remembered that face all too well!

—She was a nearly protagonist-level NPC!

Xiao Ran, female, belonged to the Luotian Sect, one of the four Righteous Sects.

Her name wasn’t well-known early in the game, but she shone brightly in the middle stage.

With her exceptional cultivation aptitude, she was being groomed as the next high-ranking member of the Luotian Sect.

She had a refreshing appearance and gave off an impression of being a gentle lady, the delicate and fragile type that stirred a fierce protective instinct in others.

At the same time, she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, had a humble and courteous disposition, and would make anyone feel as if they were bathed in spring wind. She simply embodied the perfect model of an elegant and modest girl…absolutely not!

“Why the hell did I run into this perverse bitch!” Lu Xun cursed internally.

This woman was nothing but a hypocrite, presenting one face to the public and another behind their backs!

The Luotian Sect was a rather rigid sect, rich in rules, ideally wishing for their male disciples to be gentlemen and female disciples to be modest ladies.

But human nature is complex, different in every person, which is why this sect particularly turned out two-faced people.

Xiao Ran was the most representative of them.

Would you believe this woman was once a bandit?

She was fortuitously discovered by one of the sect elders of the Luotian Sect and was recruited into their ranks.

Although she seems to have transformed nicely now, her true self comes out in a fight.

Have you ever seen a young girl swinging dual axes before?

You probably have only seen one wielding a kitchen knife at most, haven’t you?

That’s not all. This woman’s favorite pastime is brutally killing enemies.

Her eyes conveyed a sense of “I had no choice, I’m so sorry” regret, while her lips twisted into a cruel and eerie smile!

After killing someone, she would say a prayer for their soul with her mouth, while scattering their ashes with her hand!

This woman was a complete and utter sadist!

Don’t ask how Lu Xun knows this. In his previous life as “Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero”, he flew around recklessly and had a taste of the electrifying thrill she offered. Even thinking back to it now made his heart flutter. It was thrillingly stimulating.

An NPC who could cut him, the player, into eighteen pieces and necessitate a mosaic effect on his body was an absolute first for him.

Despite this past experience, Lu Xun didn’t harbor much resentment towards her. After all, it was just a game back then, and if he died, so be it. Who asked him to provoke her in the first place? He seemed to deserve it when he died.

The reason behind his provocation was somewhat embarrassing to mention; anyway, it was all for the sake of life.

But if he gets the chance to screw her over a few times… Lu Xun certainly won’t show mercy.

After all, players do lose Experience Points when they get killed.

As he recalled, Xiao Ran was talked about a lot among the players for another reason.

That’s because she had her Favorability Rating maxed by a certain player!

This event had caused quite a stir on the forum back then because such a situation had never occurred before.

The player who maxed Xiao Ran’s Favorability Rating was a female player.

Her name was Yan Bao, the guild leader of the Yan Alliance Guild.

The Yan Alliance Guild was one of the few all-women guilds in “Heavenly Dust”, only accepting female players.

Although the guild could only be considered third-tier, it had quite a number of male players licking their boots. The 18 unique styles of boot-licking among these male players were truly insightful.

Moreover, Yan Bao had another identity; she was Xiao Ran’s disciple.

A disciple maxing out her master’s Favorability Rating was fine as it was, but the unclear relationship between the two women left Lu Xun with nothing to say other than, “May you be happy together.”

Although it was the 22nd century, a female player getting together with a female NPC still felt pretty…novel!

Since then, with Xiao Ran, this perverse bitch, as the backer of the Yan Alliance Guild, it gave other players a new approach—Maxing out an NPC’s Favorability Rating seems to allow you to do whatever you wish!

Since then, many players have embarked on a path of no return…

“Heavenly Dust” was already colorful and vibrant, but why do you only see one color in your eyes!

Lu Xun felt sad for them.

As for why Xiao Ran would appear in Qingling City… she was probably here for training.

Although Qingling City was in the territory of the Demon Sect, in “Heavenly

Dust”, the Demonic Way and the Righteous Sects merely had different cultivation philosophies and simply found each other a nuisance. Bickering and trash-talking happened frequently, but it wouldn’t escalate to a life and death scenario.

After all, the Righteous Sects advocated Qi Refinement while the Demonic Way supported Qi Consumption. They were on two different paths.

The only difference was that the Righteous Sects had a longer history and deeper foundation, highly esteemed in the mundane world, something the Demon Sect could not compare with.

Actually, during the early stages, when the Demonic Way was just emerging, the Righteous Sects cracked down heavily on it until someone stood up and the situation improved. That persona was the ‘Sir’.

The ‘Sir’ had a “reasonable discussion” with the sect leaders and masters of the four major Righteous Sects, and they “came to an agreement” not long after. That led to the present scene.

Thus, it wasn’t unusual for Xiao Ran, a Luotian Sect disciple, to venture to Qingling City for training.

Also worth mentioning is that Qingling City indeed boasted a superb training ground. The players, however, liked to refer to it as an instance dungeon, known by the name “Turtle’s Longevity”.

Initially, it served as a training ground for demon disciples but was also open to outsiders… at a price!

Even the Demon Sect needed to eat, after all. It seemed only fair.

To be exact, all the Great Sects had set up similar businesses. Even the Luotian Sect had one.

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Ran was likely heading towards the “Turtle’s Longevity”.

This coincided with Lu Xun’s plan as he would also visit the site in a few days; it offered plenty of Experience Points as a reward.

But not right now.

His top priority was to find some easy prey to exploit!

Lu Xun had no intention of approaching Xiao Ran, this perverse bitch. While she was still oblivious to his presence, he planned to turn around and head in the opposite direction.

But as he turned around, he ran into a female player.

The female player was busty, had long legs, a perky butt, and an innocent-looking face. The ID hovering above her head was dazzling…

—Yan Bao.

“Eh? Did she participate in the internal test too?” Lu Xun wondered in his mind. After all, a third-tier guild may not get a quota.

He also didn’t know how she got to Qingling City.

Then, without a doubt, her taboo connection with Xiao Ran must have started during the internal test.

At this moment, Lu Xun suddenly recalled his past when he was chopped into eighteen pieces by Xiao Ran. Then, he moved his gaze to Yan Bao. He smiled, his expression as warm as ever.
