Chapter 78: Listen to My Explanation!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
To be honest.
Liu Yuan was now very familiar with this kind of situation. Jumping between cold and not cold was the most familiar thing he had done since he transmigrated.
In any case, what was going to be lost would be lost. He could hide from it for a while, but he could not hide from it forever.
After hiding from this one, there were still 200 more.
Thinking about it this way, the current situation was not that bad.
Liu Yuan, who had failed to escape, felt a little comforted.
Buzzzzzz!
With her black hair flowing like a waterfall and her green dress flowing like a lotus, the fairy-like woman gently landed on the sword. Her movements were elegant and she swung her wide sleeves without losing any of her grace.
“Junxuan, long time no see.”
With one hand behind her back, she stood on the sword with a pair of sharp eyes on her beautiful and heroic face. She glanced at Liu Yuan, who was frozen in place, and Gu Chang, who was behind him.
Liu Yuan’s teeth were clenched. He felt a pain in his balls. He had already run away in advance, but he was still blocked by a sword at the entrance of the novice village halfway.
He had run away and was blocked at the door. What else could he say?
Liu Yuan sighed in his heart and said weakly, “It’s been a long time.”
Although they had met in the game a month ago, Shen Sifan’s perception had told him that it had been a long time since he had completed the guide.
He opened the illustrated Handbook page.
[Character: Shen Sifan (5-star)]
[Gender: Female]
[Title: Green Lotus swordsman — Slaying demons and evil, training a hundred thousand hearts and subduing the ruthless]
[Level: Immortal Dao — Void Refinement stage, Level 7]
[Status: Normal/Killing Intent Fluctuation]
When Liu Yuan saw this, he paused and felt that he was indeed beyond saving.
Killing Intent Fluctuation was one of Shen Sifan’s skills as the Green Lotus Swordsman. It was also a buff. The effect was to ignore defense when attacking and add magic and physical critical hits.
The key was that this was a precursor to Shen Sifan’s big move.
Shen Sifan’s combat power was one of the best in Liu Yuan’s illustrated book. She was not strong in terms of cultivation, but she was strong through real combat.
In the entire Shangyang, everyone knew that any red name player who met Shen Sifan in the city would basically have no way out. She was only at the Void Refinement stage, but she could even kill cultivators at the Synthesis stage. With such exaggerated combat power, she was like the Sword God of the world.
He was respectfully referred to as an ‘NPC cheater’ by the players.
And now, Liu Yuan might be facing a combo attack and a critical hit, directly KO’d.
He hurriedly took Shen Sifan’s card first. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he would add points to his health bar first, so as to avoid being killed instantly without a chance to escape.
Shen Sifan’s five attributes — Affinity, strength path, body technique, and spiritual power — were all over 10,000, but they were much less than that of Pihuan Luo’s. She was only lacking in her physique, which was the standard high attack but low health.
However, it was still more than enough to kill Liu Yuan.
After adding the attribute boost from the card, Liu Yuan could only reach the full foundation of the Soul Formation stage. He could not even reach the Void Refinement stage. After all, as he reached the later stage of the level, his attributes would increase by several times. His attribute points would continue to increase. It was undoubtedly a fool’s dream to reach the peak of his life with the attribute boost.
Shen Sifan’s gaze lingered on Liu Yuan’s face for a long time, and there were complicated emotions in her eyes. She then turned to Gu Chang and said, “Your son?”
Liu Yuan was so nervous that he almost could not catch his breath. He quickly shook his head. “He’s a disciple I just accepted… He just entered the Qi Refinement stage.”
It was too exaggerated to have such a big son. It would be more appropriate to have a daughter.
Shen Sifan jumped down and waved his hand. The long sword fell into his hand and he suddenly pointed it at Liu Yuan with a stern look. “Can’t you take your son as your disciple?”
Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Let me explain! This really isn’t…”
“Then are you married?” Shen Sifan interrupted.
“No, I’m not,” Liu Yuan shook his head and swallowed his saliva. This was the key.
As expected, she had heard the news of his marriage, so she had flown her sword over tens of thousands of miles, ready to cut him down.
Only Shen Sifan would do such a thing.
The so-called ‘Heart Penetrating Sword’ was straight.
It was oh, so straight.
Liu Yuan could not control the news from spreading. After all, he had been using Junxuan’s name from the start, so it was only natural for it to spread. Therefore, it was normal for it to be intercepted now.
He took a deep breath and said, “I promised you that if I was defeated by you one day, I would ‘marry’ you. I know that you must have found out that I’m getting married and come to settle the score with me. However, firstly, I’m indeed not married yet. Secondly, if you hadn’t come, I would indeed be getting married to someone else.”
Liu Yuan’s words were frank and straightforward. Shen Sifan clenched her fists, her long sword trembling slightly, and the killing intent in her eyes paused. “Why do you dare to say it? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you? I’ll kill you and cultivate the Path of Oblivion.”
Gu Chang looked to the left and then to the right, his face full of confusion. When he heard the word ‘kill’, he immediately understood and hid to the side.
Liu Yuan’s expression was as calm as an old dog. He smiled and said, “Why wouldn’t I dare? I’m only at the Soul Formation stage right now, and I’m standing so close to you. If you want to kill me, it’ll only take a single thought. What do I have to be afraid of?”
In fact, he was really scared.
However, he could not lose his face.
Shen Sifan was stunned. She tried to sense it and realized that he was indeed only at the Soul Formation stage. He was far from the unfathomable cultivation she had in mind. In fact, it was a little unbelievable.
“How could it be?”
She lowered the sword in her hand and frowned. “How did your cultivation level drop so much? And there are signs of your Qi and blood being severely damaged. What have you been through all these years?”
He had not experienced much in the past few years, but in the past few days, he had been poisoned by a witch and his heart was stabbed. He had even managed to get his wife to commit a crime.
Liu Yuan coughed twice and said, “The past is the past, but I really don’t want to face you like this. So forgive me for wanting to live in seclusion at Water Moon Dock and live an ordinary life. Please remember how I used to look like in front of you. I’m no longer worthy of your persistent pursuit. Forget me and cut off all ties of love. It’s all fine.”
This was the so-called ‘playing hard to get’.
Liu Yuan observed Shen Sifan’s expression and realized that she was indeed wavering.
The strategy to conquer Shen Sifan was one of a kind… because she was the one who chased him.
She was really weird.
The reason was that Liu Yuan’s hands were cheap at that time. In the game’s strategy guide, he had started a battle with Shen Sifan. At that time, Liu Yuan was also a red name. He was beaten up by Shen Sifan, and he was very angry. No matter how good-looking an NPC was, he would still be angry after being killed by her a few times. That was why he did such a thing in the game guide.
Anyway, although one wrong step in the strategy would lead to failure, the strategy had not really started, so it did not matter if he wanted to court death. But who knew that after the game, Shen Sifan’s favorability would immediately soar.
After that, they fought all the way. They were both teachers, friends, and enemies. Chen Sifan also said strange words like ‘I’ll marry you after I defeat you’. In her eyes, Liu Yuan was her target, and now that the target had given up on himself, she would never go along with it and kill him.
Just as Liu Yuan was about to continue, he suddenly heard the sound of a sword.
Buzzzzzz!
In the distance, a man in white flew over on a sword. He had a serious expression and a murderous aura as he jumped down.
“The head disciple of the Heart Sword Sect, Cui Ting, is here to challenge the Green Lotus Swordsman of the Taiqing Pavilion. I hope you can teach me a lesson!”
