Of course, she looked even more feverish during the game than she does now.
However, he wouldn't give in much, just thinking about the scene of Lin Ran pinning him to the ground and shoving him.
A slight blush appeared on Chu Muyao's fair and pretty face. "Xiaoxiao, let's open the card pack."
After Xiao Xiaoxiao was brought into the hero's team, she also signed a contract with an elf from another world. Therefore, she now has a hero trial app on her phone.
Like Chu Muyao, she can also receive rewards and draw cards after playing the game.
However, the function to invite new teammates is only available to Chu Muyao, the team leader. Lin Ran woke up after a nap.
Lin Ran drew back the curtains and looked out at the morning scenery. Actually, she quite liked the mornings.
The fresh air makes me feel inexplicably comfortable.
It's just that he often stays up late for various reasons.
After enjoying the morning breeze, Lin Ran lay in bed and entered his cultivation world.
In the small world, the convoy had just left a city, replenished its supplies, and continued its journey to the imperial city.
Lacking the conveniences of modern society, life in this small world is inconvenient in every way. Fortunately, Lin Ran has ways to entertain himself.
The convoy stopped again on the road, and Lin Ran, while chiseling red beans, peeked out. He saw a large number of people blocking the road ahead, but they didn't look like bandits.
Lin Ran overheard people in the convoy discussing the group ahead. "Are they from the Seeking Immortals Team?"
"It must be. This mountain path is rarely visited by people; it seems like a place with a special connection to the immortals."
Lin Ran inquired with the guards not far away and learned what the Immortal Seeker Team was.
In the world of cultivation, cultivators and mortals don't live in complete seclusion. Rather, it's more like the mortal world is of very low value to cultivation sects.
In order to obtain useful resources from the secular world, cultivation sects would send envoys to secular dynasties.
This messenger will use exploration techniques to sense places where there might be a connection to the divine, and then send members of the secular ruling class to search for them.
The so-called "immortal affinity" refers to resources that are beneficial to cultivators. It encompasses many types, and offering immortal affinity to cultivation sects can yield certain rewards.
The work of the Immortal Seekers is not easy. Most of the opportunities to find immortals occur in sparsely populated wilderness areas, and most of these places are extremely dangerous. Some places are even known as forbidden zones for the living, where going there is a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.
Lin Ran nodded knowingly; the script descriptions in the system tasks were far too rudimentary.
The notebook didn't reveal any background information, only that the world was very oppressive. Lin Ran wanted to pull his head back and continue chiseling at An Hongdou, Li Zhiwan, and the other women.
But the system notification made him pause. [Hint: Main character appears in the script]
[Main Character in the Script - Lin Feng: The chosen one of this world, who questions and resents the rules of the world, and is determined to cultivate immortality to become an immortal and change the world]
Following the system's prompt, Lin Ran looked over and spotted three people with extraordinary bearing within the Immortal Seekers team. Most of the Immortal Seekers team members looked disheveled and covered in dirt.
According to the guards, this is a job that only the poor would do, and sometimes when the Immortal Seeking Team is short-handed, they will forcibly conscript more people.
The three people among them seemed out of place; their clothes were simple but clean. There was one man and two women; the man was, of course, Lin Feng.
Lin Feng has a handsome appearance, the kind of looks that would make someone look like a man even if they were painted as a woman. It's no wonder he's considered the chosen one of this world.
Both girls were exceptionally beautiful. One of the little girls was being led by Lin Feng. She looked somewhat like Lin Feng, but her eyes held a hint of naivety.
The other girl, though simply dressed, exuded arrogance in her eyes, looking down on everyone around her with disdain.
Chapter 162 Conversation
"System, system, if I kill this so-called 'Chosen One' now, will the mission be complete? [Yes]"
Lin Ran was somewhat surprised.
"System, system, isn't it supposed to be that the chosen ones of a plane can't be killed so easily?"
[The plane has the protection of destiny for the chosen one of the plane, but the host's destiny is not bound by the plane, and the plane's rules cannot affect the host.] Although he knew that he could kill Lin Feng directly without restriction to complete the mission.
But the biggest problem now is that Lin Ran himself cannot cultivate immortality and is not strong enough, so he may not be able to win.
Furthermore, Lin Ran wasn't a man who killed indiscriminately; he preferred to enjoy the process of completing missions. After all, he didn't lack anything, even though the reward for the mission was immortality.
But before the mission rewards, the system had already given Lin Ran a buff that would permanently maintain his current life state. This "immortality" buff, judging from its literal meaning, seems to overlap with the rewards.
Just as Lin Ran was still pondering, Lin Feng from the Seeking Immortals team on the opposite side seemed to have noticed the caravan. He actually took the initiative to walk towards the caravan with his female companion.
After Lin Feng arrived at the caravan, he chatted with the caravan leader and the other passengers. Lin Ran, after imparting a wealth of knowledge to An Hongdou, dressed and got off the vehicle.
It's human nature to love joining in the fun, and Lin Ran was quite interested in this so-called chosen one of the planes.
Lin Ran leaned over and eavesdropped on Lin Feng's conversation with the caravan members. From the conversation, he learned that Lin Feng and his two companions were not members of the Immortal Seekers Team.
Lin Feng and his two companions were not locals, but wanderers from a neighboring country. They had run out of money along the way and encountered the Immortal Seekers. In order to earn some rewards, they joined the Immortal Seekers midway.
Lin Ran had a pretty good impression of this chosen one of the world.
Lin Feng was gentle and patient during the conversation. His extensive experience traveling between the two countries made him very easy to like. However, as good as he was, the mission still needed to be done.
It's clear from the system's mission that Lin Feng wants to change the rules of this world. According to the original timeline, once he became a True Immortal, he should have the ability to alter the world's rules.
"Sir, the Immortal Seeker Team is extremely dangerous, and you are accompanied by two female companions. Since you are only short of travel expenses, why not give up the Immortal Seeker Team job? I can give you some silver, and you can work as my guards for a while. How about that?"
Lin Ran spoke to Lin Feng, but he certainly didn't genuinely want to be kind to Lin Feng.
Instead, following the conventions of Blue Star novels, the protagonist joins this Immortal Seeker Team and there are no dangers whatsoever. He will definitely encounter some great opportunity and level up rapidly.
He leveled up too quickly, making his own tasks harder. On the other hand, more contact gives him a chance to poach talent. The two girls Lin Feng brought along are really good.
From Lin Feng's conversation, Lin Ran learned that the girl he was holding hands with was his younger sister, named Lin Xiaoyu.
The reason he was wandering with his younger sister was because the cause of their homelessness was internal strife, and he wanted to take his sister with him to seek refuge. The other proud young woman, named Yin Qingxue, was someone Lin Feng encountered during his wanderings.
Lin Feng said that she ran away from home to escape an arranged marriage, and because she had nowhere to go, she wandered around with others.
However, Lin Ran was skeptical of his explanation, because the system's investigation revealed something mysterious about Yin Qingxue's profile: [Name: Yin Qingxue]
[Tags: Blade Spirit Reincarnation, Ancient Blade Spirit, Heir of the Myriad Sects]
The system's panel can only detect women, and only those women who meet the system's requirements for "pure" women.
Therefore, Lin Ran rarely uses this function.
Lin Feng and Yin Qingxue exchanged a glance, and Lin Feng smiled knowingly. "I'm sorry, brother, I'm still a little worried about them."
Lin Ran was quite surprised; this was the first time he had been rejected in this world. It was clear that the other party hadn't truly joined the Immortal Seekers' Team for a little travel money.
Instead, they already had a specific goal. "Looks like I was meddling."
Lin Ran naturally changed the subject and started talking to Lin Feng about other things.
This included his self-introduction, in which Lin Ran did not hide his unique characteristics.
"To be honest, I'm not like most people. Everyone loves being cuckolded, but I alone love doing yellow hair (a euphemism for being cheated on)." Lin Feng was quite surprised to hear Lin Ran's words, because he had seen a lot and had a broad perspective.
Just as Lin Ran said, all the men Lin Feng had met, regardless of age, had a strong cuckold fetish.
This included himself, but he noticed that no one seemed to think there was anything wrong with it. Even though men in this world were incapable of intimacy with women.
But everyone understands what intimate behavior is, and at the same time, they are all hopelessly addicted to the feeling of being cheated on.
Everyone was used to it, but Lin Feng vaguely felt a strange unease. Lin Feng also explained his own situation, including his own cuckoldry.
Although everyone in this world has a tendency to be cuckolded, instinctively people still regard it as a shameful and monstrous fetish. Very few people are as open about it as Lin Feng.
Of course, it's also possible that Lin Feng decided to reveal his cuckoldry fetish after hearing that Lin Ran liked to brag about others. He then subtly invited Lin Ran to brag about him.
After sharing his personal information, Lin Feng and Lin Ran discussed more topics. Lin Ran mainly brought up some basic information about this world.
Although Lin Feng is currently dressed simply in the Immortal Seekers team, he knows a great deal. From him, Lin Ran learned a lot about this world, including cultivation and the mortal realm.
For example, the cultivation realms are the very familiar six major realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Tribulation Transcending. Then there is martial arts, which are the cultivators that ordinary people can come into contact with. The strength of the most profound martial arts masters is not to be underestimated.
Martial arts realms are divided into Inner Strength, Later Stage, Early Stage, and Grandmaster. Lin Feng claims to be a martial artist who acquired his skills later in life.
The topic Lin Feng brought up was actually his view of the world.
Lin Ran learned that Lin Feng had encountered many things on his journey, including rampant monsters, natural disasters, and even a mutiny. This led Lin Feng to a question: if those extraordinary, otherworldly cultivators possessed boundless power...
Why not help alleviate the various sufferings in the mortal world? Lin Ran's conversation with Lin Feng greatly changed her opinion of him.
Lin Ran originally compared Lin Feng to the protagonist of a novel she had read on Earth.
This led Lin Ran to initially perceive Lin Feng as some pretentious jerk who would seek revenge.
After chatting, I discovered that Lin Feng has many good qualities. He doesn't have that kind of "pretending to be weak to take advantage" or "looking for an opportunity to show off."
Instead, he aimed to help Lin Feng learn and gain knowledge through conversation and exchange of ideas, while also forging friendships in the process. Although Lin Ran didn't yet consider him a friend, he decided to spare his life whenever possible when completing missions in the future. Lin Ran also tried his best to explain many of Lin Feng's doubts.
Although Lin Ran couldn't beat Lin Feng, Lin Ran came from a technologically advanced civilization with an information explosion.
In the humanities, it was far ahead of this backward cultivation world. This made Lin Feng's eyes occasionally show amazement.
"Sir, you are truly knowledgeable! Your answers to my questions were incredibly insightful!"
Lin Ran waved her hand, "I don't deserve this praise. If I really want to offer some, how about introducing your sister and that young lady to me?" Lin Feng's expression stiffened slightly; there was something he hadn't told Lin Ran.
That is, although he also suffers from cuckoldry, he is trying to suppress his cuckoldry instincts and try to change his sexual orientation. The thought of his sister, with whom he depends on each other, and the sword spirit who saved his life, being taken advantage of by someone he'd just met makes his long-suppressed cuckoldry instincts begin to stir.
Just thinking about it made him unable to stop himself from delving into his fantasies and craving a real cuckold's hat.
If Lin Ran really succeeds, wouldn't all his patience and resistance against cuckoldry be in vain?
Chapter 163 Foster Care
The Immortal Seekers and the caravan met in the afternoon, just before nightfall. After a brief discussion, they decided to rest on the spot and set off again the next day. That night, both camps lit fires, and Lin Feng was holding Lin Xiaoyu's hand by the campfire on Lin Ran's side.
"Little Fish, this journey is fraught with danger. You should follow this elder brother. Once we reach the capital, do not wander around. Wait for me to come find you."
Lin Feng instructed Lin Xiaoyu that although he wanted to restrain his cuckoldry fetish, after careful consideration he found that Lin Ran's words made sense. He knew more about the destination of the Immortal Seeking Team than the immortal masters in the imperial city who had discovered the Immortal Affinity Land.
That's why he knew how dangerous that place was; even with his and Yin Qingxue's true strength, they couldn't say for sure they could escape unscathed.
But he couldn't refuse; it was Yin Qingxue's innate mission, and now it was his mission as well. And it was indeed too dangerous for Lin Xiaoyu to follow them.
As for why he let Lin Xiaoyu follow Lin Ran, it was because of their conversation yesterday.
Lin Ran didn't consider himself a good person, but Lin Feng felt that only a truly good person could come up with the ideas Lin Ran shared.
