Fairy, don't be afraid, I'm about to begin my strategy.

"Xiaobai, have you ever been in a relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaofeng choked and coughed before he could even swallow his tea. "Senior Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't we cultivators take the pursuit of immortality as our mission? How can we fall in love? That's just a game for mortals."

Young Master Zhao curled his lip, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "What immortality? I've lived this long and never seen it. Our Zhao family has lasted for thousands of years, but none of our ancestors have ever truly achieved immortality."

He downed the tea in one gulp. "I think all this talk of cultivating immortality is a scam. Only one in ten thousand can truly achieve anything. I've come to terms with it. We should treat ourselves better in this life. What's the point of cultivating immortality? It's just asking for trouble!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, you can't just say things like that! The walls may be overheard!"

Young Master Zhao scoffed, "I don't care! You haven't answered my question yet!"

Bai Xiaofeng scratched his head. "I haven't talked about it either. Why are you asking, Senior Brother Zhao?"

Young Master Zhao blushed, a rare sight for him. "I... I think I'm in love!"

"Could it be... Junior Sister Chen?"

"Ah, how...how did you know?"

Young Master Zhao was quite surprised and showed a hint of shyness.

Bai Xiaofeng analyzed seriously, "That's understandable. After all, Junior Sister Chen is beautiful, kind-hearted, brave, and resourceful. She is indeed the best choice for a cultivation partner."

"That's what I think too!"

Young Master Zhao rested his chin on one hand, his eyes unfocused, and a sweet smile on his face.

Bai Xiaofeng's eyes darted around. "If you want to pursue Junior Sister Chen, I do have a way, but I don't know if you're willing!"

"What can we do, Junior Brother Bai? No, from now on you'll be my senior brother!"

Bai Xiaofeng mysteriously beckoned to Young Master Zhao, "I spent quite a few spirit stones to get this method, Senior Brother Zhao, look!"

Young Master Zhao tactfully handed him a small bag of spirit stones, saying impatiently, "Tell me quickly, if Junior Sister Chen and I can get together, I will reward you handsomely, Senior Brother Bai!"

"This Junior Sister Chen, regardless of whether she cultivates immortality or not, is still a woman and will inevitably have feminine characteristics. As long as we cater to her preferences, a marriage is bound to be formed!"

Young Master Zhao nodded repeatedly, signaling Bai Xiaofeng to continue!

"Women like sincere men, so if you want to pursue Junior Sister Chen, you must first show your sincerity and give her a gift!"

"A gift! What should we give? Spirit stones?"

"Absolutely not! Women love romance, so spirit stones are out of the question—too tacky!"

Bai Xiaofeng took a sip of tea and continued, "So-called romance is about things that are flashy and impractical. It doesn't have to be practical, but it must be expensive, and it must be luxurious!"

Young Master Zhao looked thoughtful. "Showy but impractical, it has to be valuable. Is that how you'll impress Junior Sister Chen?"

"Absolutely!"

Bai Xiaofeng rolled up his sleeves and patted his chest, "I found this in an old book I stumbled upon in a town at the foot of the mountain, and it's absolutely effective!"

"real!"

"Hey bro, that's a package deal!"

Young Master Zhao left satisfied, pondering the choice of gift, determined to give Chen Qingqing a surprise.

"Senior brother, we must win!"

Young Master Zhao clenched his right fist with confidence. "Yes, I'll definitely take it!"

Watching Young Master Zhao leave, Bai Xiaofeng carefully pulled a book from his storage bag. After flipping through it, he nodded repeatedly, "I really am a genius! I never thought this book would finally come in handy. What a steal! Hehe!"

The book cover boldly proclaimed: Thirty-Six Strategies for Winning Over a Fairy!

……

Shen Mo, who was struggling to figure out how to get Lin Zhixia to stop investigating, had been experiencing a bittersweet period of his life lately.

Being inseparable from Lin Zhixia all day long, although it allows him to be close to the beautiful fairy, having to keep her by his side at all times is exhausting!

Who can understand this kind of pain!

"Junior Sister Chen, are you there?"

The sudden knocking pulled Shen Mo back to reality. He glanced at Lin Zhixia, who was focused on her cultivation, and quietly pushed the door open and went out.

"Senior Brother Zhao, is something wrong so late?"

The sudden visit of Young Master Zhao left Shen Mo completely baffled.

"Um, I have something to discuss with my junior sister. Is now a convenient time for you?"

"Something wrong? Let's go to that pavilion over there!"

Before long, the two sat down in the pavilion.

Suddenly, Young Master Zhao stood up, gently waving his folding fan, and said affectionately, "Junior Sister, don't you think the moon is beautiful tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo, who had just sat down, suddenly lost his mind and looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you alright?"

Only then did Shen Mo notice that Young Master Zhao was indeed somewhat different today. He was not wearing a Taoist robe but rather a set of elegant mortal clothes, and his hairstyle and attire were clearly carefully designed.

Under the hazy moonlight, Young Master Zhao, like a refined gentleman, gently waved his folding fan and suddenly asked with deep affection: "Is the moon beautiful tonight?"

Shen Mo really wanted to say: Are you sick in the head?!

Seeing that Shen Mo did not reply, Young Master Zhao coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, and continued, "Junior Sister, look at the full moon in the sky, the moonlight is like water, so gentle, but it is not even half as gentle as you."

Shen Mo was dumbfounded. The NPCs in this game must be toxic!

"Hey, junior sister, don't you think it's romantic?"

Romantic my foot!

Dude, stop fanning yourself, okay? The evening breeze in the mountains is quite cool, it's not hot at all!

Shen Mo was speechless and could only patiently ask, "Senior Brother Zhao, is there something you need?"

"Well, actually I have a gift for my junior sister to express my gratitude."

"Hey, you should have said so earlier! You scared me!"

Upon hearing about the gift, Shen Mo instantly perked up, his face beaming with anticipation. "Where's the gift?"

Young Master Zhao carefully took out a stick-shaped object and handed it to Shen Mo!

"What's this?"

The rod-shaped object, likely made of some kind of metal, is half a meter long, with a head shaped like a flower. The sides are petals, and the center is a stamen, with a gem-like bead embedded in the center. The overall design is exquisite, and the exterior is carved with intricate patterns, making it appear quite valuable.

After fiddling with it for a while, Shen Mo realized that the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, like the magic wand from a TV series he watched when he was a child.

Shen Mo found it very strange that Young Master Zhao was suddenly being so generous.

"I paid a hefty price to have one of my clan uncles, who is skilled in weapon crafting, make this. I bet you'll love it, Junior Sister!"

After saying that, Young Master Zhao looked smug and increased the frequency of his fan movements.

Upon hearing that Young Master Zhao had spent a large sum of money, Shen Mo's eyes lit up. After examining the item for a moment, he asked, "How do I use this?"

Young Master Zhao folded his paper fan, tossed his long hair, and held the object in his hand. "The surface of the staff is engraved with a nine-turn fire-elemental array. If you hold the base and input spiritual energy to activate the seven-colored fire crystal at the top, it will shoot out a fire spirit ball that explodes in the air like a seven-colored firework—it's absolutely beautiful!"

"You mean this thing with the Nine-Turn Array engraved on it is for setting off fireworks?"

"yes!"

Young Master Zhao picked up the "Magic Wand" and channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into it. The array on the wand was activated, and a seven-colored fire crystal suddenly lit up, shooting out a fire spirit ball that shot straight into the sky before exploding and scattering in all directions, just like fireworks.

"How about it, junior sister? Isn't it incredibly romantic! I got the inspiration from the signal stalks that the sect uses to transmit information, and I made this especially for you."

Young Master Zhao's face was flushed red as he excitedly showed off to Shen Mo, looking at him with expectant eyes, practically wearing the message "Praise me!" on his face.

Shen Mo's face darkened. You mean you used precious refining materials and etched a nine-turn fire-elemental magic array, but instead of a powerful magic weapon, you made a firework stick!

What a talented person!
