I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 316 Jiang Yingzhu, you smell so good!

What happens if you become a heretical cultivator?

Li Yan shook his card and looked at Jiang Yingzhu.

"Let me see."

Jiang Yingzhu took out a large instruction manual from the box, spread it out on the table, and then pointed to a line, saying to Li Yan and the other two women who were looking on curiously:
"Evil Cultivator: If you are in a Fortuitous Encounter slot with others, your Fortuitous Encounter will be forcibly stolen. However, if your level is two levels higher than theirs, the opposite will happen."

Upon seeing this sentence, Mei Mengqian couldn't help but say, "It doesn't look like a hardship."

"You haven't finished reading yet!"

Jiang Yingzhu pointed to the instructions and continued reading, "If you and another person are within four squares, and that person steps on a tribulation, it will be transferred to you. Note: Evil cultivators are immune to some cards."

"No way, this identity is just too lame," Li Yan complained. "Does this mean I'm going to be unlucky all the time?"

"That's why it's called an ordeal. Now it's up to your luck."

After figuring out their identities, they went to Mei Mengqian to place their points.

The dice spun around on the table and finally landed on a four.

Mei Mengqian moved her chess piece four squares and placed it on the "Torment" piece, next to Li Yan's piece.

"Hehe, poor Li Yan!"

Li Yan rolled his eyes and drew another card from the tribulation card box.

"Curse of Maniac Laughter: You have been cursed with a vicious curse. You will burst into uncontrollable laughter whenever you open your mouth, which will impair your movement."

"Effect: Before your next turn, you must tell a joke to make the players laugh to transfer the curse; otherwise, you will be stuck in place for three turns."

Note: The curse lasts for three rounds and remains effective even after the curse is transferred.

Upon hearing what Li Yan read aloud, Mei Mengqian and the other two exchanged glances, their faces tense, determined not to laugh.

“I’ve received professional training, I absolutely won’t laugh!” Jiang Yingzhu said.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu nodded in agreement, determined not to be cursed.

The second round began, and Jiang Yingzhu threw two dots, but they were still blank, which made her yell in frustration.

Hua Junshu rolled a six, landing on a square where hardship and good fortune coexist.

"You ate a fruit you found."

Jiang Yingzhu read it aloud for her senior, then looked at the corner of the grid, "This requires level three to trigger the adventure, but you are only level two, so it will trigger the tribulation."

"Ah."

Hua Junshu nodded, reached into the black card box, pulled out a card, and tossed it onto the table.

"Little devil blocking the road: You attract the attention of evil cultivators and are robbed on the road. You must hand over the props. If you don't have any, you must have intimate contact with the other party (such as a kiss). Note: This does not apply to men or women. If there are no evil cultivators present, the props will be randomly drawn."

After reading the contents of the card, Hua Junshu pursed his lips and looked at Li Yan.

Jiang Yingzhu hummed softly and looked at Li Yan, while Mei Mengqian secretly glanced at the card box before looking at the two of them.

“Actually, intimate contact doesn’t necessarily have to be kissing. Holding hands or hugging is also fine,” Li Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Hua Junshu nodded, then walked over to Li Yan, took his hand, leaned against him, tilted his head back, and lightly touched Li Yan's face with a dragonfly-like touch.

"All right."

Li Yan felt a fragrant breeze on his face, followed by a slightly cool touch, which was far less intense than the gentle pressure from his senior sister.

But that feeling vanished in an instant, and Hua Junshu went back immediately after kissing him.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian widened their eyes slightly, wondering if their senior hadn't heard them clearly.

Why are they holding hands, hugging, and kissing all at once?

That guy Li Yan really got the better deal.

"Alright, the punishment is over. It's your turn, Li Yan. You have to tell a joke first."

"know."

Li Yan thought for a moment and decided to tell a corny joke, since ordinary jokes, which they already knew beforehand, would no longer satisfy them.

Especially Zhuzhu and Mengmeng, except for the senior who likes corny jokes.

Besides, the senior had just kissed him, so returning a curse was a fair exchange.

Do you know what the last words Louis XVI heard were?

With no one to play along, Jiang Yingzhu looked at him with an "that's all" expression.

"Turn around in 100 meters."

Li Yan spoke using the voice of the "Unethical Map" app.

"Pfft!"

Instantly, Hua Junshu chuckled softly, though he quickly composed himself, he still smiled.

"Oh dear, senior, this joke is so corny, why are you still laughing!" Jiang Yingzhu said.

Mei Mengqian nodded, "That's right, I don't know any more interesting ones to tell."

"It's become so ubiquitous, but I still laugh every time I hear it." Hua Junshu nodded.

“That’s what you call a classic, you know!” Li Yan raised an eyebrow.

"It's clearly because you've run out of jokes."

Mei Mengqian said quietly, then picked up the dice and handed them to Li Yan.

"Quick throw!"

Li Yan threw the dice and got a three, which meant he missed.

Jiang Yingzhu burst into laughter, "Just like me. No, even more unlucky than me."

Mei Mengqian smiled and picked up the dice, rolling a six.

Trigger a serendipitous encounter.

"You have found the ancient cave."

Jiang Yingzhu handed over the adventure card box. Mei Mengqian felt around in the box, hesitated for a moment, and then drew a card from the side.

"Binding Card: You can bind with one player present. Their adventures become your adventures, and their trials become your trials."

"Props!" Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Mei Mengqian's hand.

"Mengmeng, you're so lucky! Let me share in your good fortune."

"No way." Mei Mengqian smiled and withdrew her hand, her gaze shifting between Li Yan and her senior.

I was thinking about who I should use the linked card on later.

Being associated with Li Yan can bring you closer, but it seems to have no other use besides that.

Moreover, they also had to endure Li Yan's extraordinary misfortunes.

But the senior student is different; she seems to have always been very lucky.

However, the senior student is now under a curse of maniacal laughter.

As for Zhuzhu, she was directly eliminated by Mei Mengqian. Zhuzhu was unlucky and didn't get a single one in two rounds.

There are clearly many squares on the field that are not empty.

Ultimately, Mei Mengqian decided to wait for her senior's maniacal laughter curse to end before choosing her.

Jiang Yingzhu had already started rolling the dice; she made many movements and muttered incantations.

After Mei Mengqian finished thinking for a while, she finally saw the dice lying on the table.

"Two o'clock! It has to be two o'clock!"

Jiang Yingzhu stared intently at the dice, finally settling on a six.

"Six squares, let me see what six squares is."

She moved her chess piece forward, finally stopping it on a black square.

"Hardship! No more!"

"You unlucky bastard, hurry up and draw one." Li Yan pushed the card box in front of her. "It's so convenient for me to come all this way. How thoughtful of you."

Jiang Yingzhu's previous number was seven, and after moving six spaces, it becomes thirteen.

Li Yan, on the other hand, was in the position of number eight, thus perfectly avoiding the transfer of the evil cultivator's suffering.

Stop gloating.

Jiang Yingzhu raised her hand and took out a card, then her face fell. She threw the card on the table.

"Misty Forest: You have entered the Misty Forest. Only evil cultivators can leave. Before the next round begins, you need to carry an evil cultivator player for ten meters. If there are no evil cultivators present, you will be stuck for three rounds."

Li Yan chuckled, "I'll count carefully later. Ten meters, not a centimeter less."

"Humph!"

Jiang Yingzhu grunted, glanced at him sideways, and then looked at Hua Junshu.

"Senior, it's your turn. You have to tell a joke first."

Hua Junshu thought for a moment, then spoke calmly. Before she even began to speak, a smile appeared on her lips.

"A little pig said to its mother, 'Mom, I dreamed last night that I was a sailor, but I don't want to be a sailor.' Guess what the mother said?"

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian were both drawn to their senior's laughter, so they overheard it and subconsciously asked:
"How to say?"

"Mom said, don't worry, you won't become a sailor when you grow up, because you'll become a ham." The two were stunned. Mei Mengqian was the first to react, then covered her mouth and her shoulders trembled.

Jiang Yingzhu also realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh, "This is too hellish!"

"You two are laughing now, the curse is about to be transferred to you."

Li Yan, who remained expressionless throughout, said...

"You didn't laugh at such a funny joke?!" Jiang Yingzhu questioned. "You must have been secretly laughing when we weren't looking."

“I didn’t laugh, right, senior?” Li Yan asked the person who started the curse to testify.

"Hmm." Hua Junshu nodded, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Why aren't you laughing? You're clearly very funny."

"Because I'm a professional."

Jiang Yingzhu pouted, "Senior, don't pay him any mind. He must have already seen it beforehand."

"By the way, Mengmeng and I are both under a curse, how do we explain that?"

Before Hua Junshu could answer, Li Yan spoke first.

"The curse only lasts for one round, then you'll all be done with it."

"Okay then, senior, hurry up and roll the dice."

Hua Junshu nodded, picked up the dice, and threw a 2.

It seems like their luck has run out.

Move forward two spaces, but nothing is triggered.

When it was Li Yan's turn, he got a six and moved forward six spaces, but still triggered the tribulation.

Jiang Yingzhu laughed again, watching him, who was one square behind her, solve the same problem.

"See? I told you you were more unlucky than me."

"That's not necessarily true. I am a heretical cultivator."

Li Yan drew a card from the Tribulations deck.

"Poisonous Fruit: You accidentally ate a poisonous fruit and you are dead. If you are an evil cultivator, you can refine the poisonous fruit and advance one level."

"This is outrageous! You're cheating!" Jiang Yingzhu was indignant. How could her luck be worse than Li Yan's?

She'll definitely have a lucky break in the next round.

“Indeed, it’s quite a stroke of luck for these evil cultivators.” Mei Mengqian nodded.

“Not really,” Hua Junshu said. “If he weren’t an evil cultivator, he would have died and had to start all over again.”

Jiang Yingzhu looked at Mei Mengqian, "Mengmeng, hurry up and shoot, I can't wait."

"Okay." Mei Mengqian nodded, picked up the dice, and said abruptly.

"Stop making fun of Louis XVI. There has to be an end to making jokes."

The group was taken aback, remembering that Mengmeng had just had her curse transferred.

Li Yan blinked, his face expressionless.

Hua Junshu laughed without reservation, since the curse's duration had already passed anyway.

Jiang Yingzhu laughed the loudest, which she had never heard before, and Mengmeng had launched a sneak attack.

"Mengmeng, what are you doing? Oh dear, I wasn't ready."

Mei Mengqian was very satisfied and picked up the dice, rolling a five.

She is currently at position ten, and she moves forward to fifteen, perfectly bypassing the challenging grids where Jiang Yingzhu and Li Yan are located.

He became the one who went the furthest among the four.

When it was her turn again, Jiang Yingzhu coughed with great interest.

"No one could resist five adorable ponies, except for Shang Yang."

After telling the joke, Jiang Yingzhu looked at Li Yan and the other two, but neither Li Yan nor Mengmeng laughed.

It was a huge blow to her, but thankfully the senior student smiled.

Jiang Yingzhu happily picked up the dice, about to throw them, when a large hand reached out from the side and grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yingzhu struggled in dissatisfaction.

"Has someone forgotten something?" Li Yan looked at her with a half-smile.

"Or are you trying to get away with it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu curled her lip. "What do you mean by 'getting away with it'?"

"Someone's still in the Misty Forest, and they're already thinking of leaving?"

"Oh dear, I forgot for a moment."

Jiang Yingzhu pretended to suddenly understand, then stood up, came to Li Yan, and bowed slightly.

"Come on up, it's not like I can't carry you."

"That's good."

Li Yan nodded, put his arms around Jiang Yingzhu's shoulders, and leaned against her back.

Jiang Yingzhu swayed, wrapped her arms around his legs, and took a step.

She felt a little strange; she hadn't realized Li Yan had grown so much.

It's a bit heavy.

As she was thinking about these differences, she suddenly felt something strange in her ear and realized that someone's head was resting on her shoulder.

"What are you doing? Aren't you tired?"

"Do nothing."

Li Yan took a light sniff, then turned his head away. "Jiang Yingzhu, you smell so good."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu stumbled and almost fell.

"Snapped!"

Under the astonished gazes of Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu from afar, they saw Zhu Zhu suddenly raise the hand that was supporting Li Yan and slap his bottom.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank you until your butt is swollen."

Li Yan was speechless; his little green plum was really easy to tease.

He simply stopped moving and admired the pink ears that occasionally peeked out from the girl's hair.

Li Yan was thrown down after only ten meters.

"Alright, how long are you going to keep lying there?!"

"It's not impossible for you to lie down until you're old."

Li Yan straightened his clothes and walked back.

Jiang Yingzhu paused for a moment behind him, gave a soft hum, and then returned to her seat.

"Zhuzhu, is Li Yan very heavy?"

"Indeed, you'll know when you draw the Misty Forest."

"I do not want it."

Li Yan glanced at Mengmeng, "Then you'll definitely have to carry me later, that's Murphy's Law."

"Senior, you're right, aren't you?"

"Murphy's Law is sometimes inaccurate," Hua Junshu said earnestly.

"That's right, Li Yan, stop talking nonsense, it's my turn to vote."

Jiang Yingzhu smiled, took out the dice from her pocket, and rolled a three.

"16! It's an amazing encounter!"

She eagerly pulled out the adventure card, only to be stunned.

"A dating card?!"

The three words attracted everyone's attention, and Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu both focused their gazes on the card in Jiang Yingzhu's hand.

"What effect does it have?" Mei Mengqian asked.

"You will meet your soulmate on your journey of exploration, and you will fall in love. You will travel faster, further, and more safely."

Jiang Yingzhu read out the card description, then tossed the card onto the table, gesturing for the others to look.

"Effect: Randomly select a player as your lover, and the points you roll will be increased by one. You will have one chance to avoid tribulation each turn."

"It looks pretty good." Mei Mengqian wanted the card, but unfortunately her item card was bound to her account and couldn't be exchanged.

Hana Junshu nodded, hoping to draw the same card as him.

"Of course, that's what a lucky person looks like!"

Jiang Yingzhu took the turntable out of the box.

"Let's start drawing lots and see who the other lucky one is!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian immediately held their breath.
