A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Romeo: Sister Xiaonan, you misunderstood me. I'm not afraid of you because I don't consider you an enemy tonight. Not only that, tonight I want to be yours.

KP: Ya Xiaonan was so shocked by your perverted remarks that she took two steps back.

Ya Xiaonan: It’s unreasonable... You, you are simply a lunatic!

Romeo: (I'm trying to get the point across) I casually picked a wildflower and bit into it, then looked at Xiaonan with a melancholy and affectionate gaze and told her, "You're right, love is inherently unreasonable. From the moment I first saw you outside the sect, I've been deeply captivated by you, Xiaonan. Your charming expression has me yearning for you for countless days, and your casual smiles and frowns have haunted me for countless nights. I suspect you're like a book; the more I read, the more sleepy I become. And do you know what my weakness is? It's you."

Ya Xiaonan: ...

Joan of Arc: Frightened by a pervert.

Romeo: So, Xiaonan, please choose me! After all, I'm the legendary "three-no" good man—anytime, anywhere, I'll choose to protect you unconditionally! I absolutely wouldn't do anything like using all sorts of evil spells to force you to bow down and cry all day long!

Ya Xiaonan: ...

Sima Wu: ...

Romeo's dialogue: 44/60, success.

Xiao Huohuo: I’m dying of laughter.

Han Buli: Brother Sima said it was really fucked.

KP: After your "passionate confession", Ya Xiaonan was more obviously shaken, or perhaps... she was completely angry due to the influence of multiple emotions such as disgust, uneasiness, panic, and contradiction.

Ya Xiaonan: You said you like me...what do you know about me?

KP: Amidst the trembling voices, Ya Xiaonan’s thin voice gradually rose.

Ya Xiaonan: Do you know how old I was when my family sold me into slavery? Do you know how I was kicked around like a ball, changing masters countless times? Do you know how much effort I put in just to get into the Sima family? Do you know how cold it was to go out and sweep the snow at four in the morning wearing only a long-sleeved shirt and worn-out straw sandals? Do you know the fear of being surrounded by wolves, the only thing you fear is death? Do you know the feeling of powerlessness and humiliation when you've done nothing wrong, but someone else says you're wrong, bullying you with impunity just because he's a small-time squad leader? ! ...No, you don't know! We've only met a few times, hardly acquaintances, and yet you're already saying you like me, sympathize with me, and want to save me... What qualifications do you have to do this? What right do you have to do this? !

KP: By the end, Ya Xiaonan's voice was practically a roar. She glared at Romeo fiercely, her fists clenched, her nails digging into her palms. This bastard who had suddenly appeared, with such a sense of absolute audacity, was practically denying and mocking all her efforts so far.

Ya Xiaonan: Why must I be born like a rat, living a humble life in the sewers? After finally struggling to get out, I'm immediately shackled... I just want to live freely! I just want to be like you! What crime have I committed?

Xiao Huohuo: Are you also a free slave?

Han Buli: Alan Yege gave a thumbs up.

KP: Finally, seeing Ya Xiaonan losing control of her emotions, Sima Wu couldn't help but speak out.

Sima Wu: Humph, enough of these meaningless chants, Ya Xiaonan. People are born unequal. You may think you're miserable, but there are many worse off. What's there to be dissatisfied or complaining about? People should strive for their own desires. If you want freedom, just kill him.

Joan of Arc: Brother Sima said he was tired of being led off topic all day long, so let’s kill him quickly.

KP: Breathing heavily, Ya Xiaonan looked at Romeo and gritted his teeth.

Ya Xiaonan: That’s right, only by killing you... can I be free!

……

KP: Round 4.

Ya Xiaonan (Mirror 3): Ice Pulse Sword, 44/(70-20), success.

Water spiritual root bonus, 77/(60-20), failed.

KP: Holding the ice spike tightly in his hand, Ya Xiaonan flew forward and stabbed Romeo directly with the momentum of self-sacrifice.

KP: Romeo, are you going to fight?

Romeo: No confrontation.

KP: Are you sure? There's a small chance that you'll be killed instantly by this sword.

Romeo: Damn, you can't even take this little risk and still try to pick up girls? KP, just roll the dice!

Xiao Huohuo: 6.

Han Buli: Romeo is capable. (Appreciation)

Jeanne: Yes, what's the matter with handsome? (half annoyed)

KP: Wait. Facing Ya Xiaonan's attack, Romeo remained undeterred, his arms wide open as he watched the icy spike sink into his chest without blinking.

罗密欧HP：10-【1d5：2】-5=3

Romeo: Not bad, not bad. (wipes sweat)

Xiao Huohuo: He appears to be as calm as an old dog, but he is actually very nervous inside.

KP: Looking at the ice spike with only the hilt left in his hand, Ya Xiaonan froze for half a second, then looked up at the smiling Romeo with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Ya Xiaonan: You... do you really want to die?

Romeo: KP, can I take this opportunity to hug little sister Xiaonan?

KP: You hold it.

Ya Xiaonan: Dodge, 18/(50-20), success.

KP: Unfortunately, even though her mind was in a mess, Ya Xiaonan subconsciously stepped back to avoid your hug.

Romeo: Damn!

Ya Xiaonan: What the hell were you thinking? Do you really think I won't kill you? If that sword strike had missed by even half an inch, you would have died instantly!

Romeo: (Smiling) It’s okay, I’ll die if I die. Anyway, my life is worthwhile if I can buy your freedom, Xiaonan.

Xiao Huohuo: Anyway, I'm not dead yet, so I can say whatever sounds good to me. (Laughing)

KP: Ya Xiaonan retreated again and again, like a defeated deserter, and soon retreated to ten meters away. Even Sima Wu's cold rebuke from behind had no effect.

Romeo: I'll continue to strike while the iron is hot. "Sister Xiaonan, you're just overthinking it. Now that you've started cultivating immortality, you should start afresh. Don't let the sunk costs of the past constrain your future. You had no choice in the past, but now you can be a good girl, right? Something like the blood slave curse will eventually be broken."

KP: Ya Xiaonan covered her head and shook her head frantically.

Ya Xiaonan: No, you don’t understand anything, you haven’t experienced anything, how do you know that I can start over...Don’t go on, your so-called love and sympathy only makes me sick!

Joan of Arc: Alas, love is also a child that lacks love.

Han Buli: No, it’s not a lack of love, it’s simply the absence of love.

Xiao Huohuo: Lao Luo, it’s time to go up.

Romeo: I understand!

KP: Romeo clears his throat.

Romeo: Ahem, sister Xiaonan, what you said is wrong. You said that I don’t understand you and that I haven’t experienced anything. But is there a possibility that it is precisely because I have also experienced a lot of shitty things that I can empathize with you and want to save you first?

Ya Xiaonan:...What?

Romeo: Brother Sima... Oh no, Sima Wu was right. There are indeed people in this world who are worse off than you, like me. I was born in a war-torn country. My mother had already been hanging from a tree for a day when I was born. I was adopted by a passing mercenary group, but my good fortune didn't last long. My adoptive mother died of illness when I was three, and my adoptive father considered me a bad omen and never treated me kindly. I went to the battlefield at the age of eight, experiencing life and death, barely surviving. A few years later, my adoptive father's leg was blown off on the battlefield, and he treated me with all kinds of abuse. He even sold me to a black man for twenty taels of silver when I was twelve...

KP: Wait, is this part of your character design?

Romeo: No, I just made it up.

Han Buli: 6.

Xiao Huohuo: Branded Warrior Romeo, right? (Music)

Romeo: Just tell me if the sympathy trick works well or not!

KP: Then roll a speech to see if your description of this experience is vivid and moving enough. If you pass, I will give you a +20 judgment for the next speech.

Romeo: Dialogue, 29/60, success.

KP: 彳亀, your eloquent narration completely awed Ya Xiaonan, who was completely overwhelmed by your tragic life story. Even Sima Wu, standing behind you, frowned, especially when he heard you later join the Eagle Band, and how their leader, in order to restore his own power and status, betrayed his benefactors by sacrificing all the brothers who had fought through thick and thin together to the demonic beast. A look of shared hatred crossed their faces.

Ya Xiaonan: ...How could he do this!

Sima Wu: ...shameless villain.

Joan of Arc: Is it so showy?

Xiao Huohuo: The main reason is that Griffith is too new, and anyone who hears it will get angry.

Han Buli: Indeed.

Romeo: Okay, I'm going to stop talking. I told Xiaonan, "Look, someone as miserable as me can let go of the past and start over. Why can't you? Stop it, Xiaonan. The future is bright, the prospects are beautiful. You're already a free monk, so don't put those worldly shackles on yourself anymore!"

KP: Since your words make sense, this speech will give you +20 judgment.

Romeo's speech: speech, 70/(60+20), success.

Romeo: Yeah!

KP: Wait, under your bombardment of rhetoric, Ya Xiaonan finally fell silent, lowered his head, and said nothing, as if he was struggling with his conscience.

Ya Xiaonan: ...

KP: At this time, Sima Wu, who was led astray in the back, also reacted and seemed a little angry.

Sima Wu: Ya Xiaonan, I order you to kill him!

KP: Ya Xiaonan's body trembled. Although the blood slave curse had been suppressed, the instinctive reaction formed in the Sima family still made her feel that she could not disobey Sima Wu's orders.

Romeo: Then I'll continue to put pressure on Xiaonan. Come on, Xiaonan, if you want it, I'll give you my life.

Xiao Huohuo: Sister Xiaonan said it was too difficult.

KP: On one side is Sima Wu who uses threats and inducements, and on the other side is Romeo who is ready to die bravely. Ya Xiaonan is caught in the middle, covering her head in pain.

Ya Xiaonan: Why...why do you all have to force me?!

KP: After a painful struggle, Ya Xiaonan finally seemed to have made up her mind and rushed towards Romeo fiercely.

Ya Xiaonan: I hate... I hate everything!

KP: With a swing of the sword, a bloody streak appeared on Romeo's handsome face, and the branches beside him broke. (Cutscene, no damage determination)

Ya Xiaonan: ...false concern!

KP: With the next strike, Romeo's headband breaks and his hair falls apart.

Ya Xiaonan: ...Such an artificial expression!

KP: Another sword strike, another bloody wound on Romeo's chest, but his expression remained unchanged.

Ya Xiaonan: ...nonsense! ...and...!

KP: Looking at Romeo who was always smiling in front of him, Ya Xiaonan shouted, gripped the sword with both hands, and stabbed with all his strength. There was a piercing sound like tearing silk, and Ya Xiaonan's figure stopped half a meter in front of Romeo. Under the silhouette of the moonlight, the ice spike had completely penetrated the latter's throat.

Tick.

KP: Warm water drops fell on the cold ice spikes, stirring up a small puff of white mist. Ya Xiaonan lowered her head, her shoulders swaying slightly. The sharp, cold blade finally remained half an inch away from Romeo's neck.

Ya Xiaonan: And... my ugly self!

——————————————————————————————————

A chapter of four thousand words.

053 Rescue (Day 19)

Xiao Huohuo: It seems that Sister Xiaonan has been rescued.

Romeo: I told you we'd win. (wipes sweat)

Han Buli: It’s not easy, Lao Luo is lucky to have done his job well.

Joan of Arc: So you can put your clothes on now? (annoyed)

Romeo: Damn, I want to let my sexy hormones evaporate for a while~

Joan of Arc: Ugh.

Romeo: By the way, KP, sister Xiaonan is right in front of me now. I want to hug her tightly and tell her that she is not ugly at all, she is very beautiful!

Ya Xiaonan: Dodge, 5/(50-20), success.

KP: Unfortunately, even though Ya Xiaonan was in an unstable state, she subconsciously shrank away from your hug.

ROMEO: Gaia!

KP: After a brief outburst of gaffe, Ya Xiaonan quickly collected himself, the ice spikes in his hand dissipated, he quickly walked to the side, turned his back to Romeo and Sima Wu, wiped his face with his sleeve, and then stood silently.

KP: Upon seeing this, Sima Wu frowned in dissatisfaction and shouted coldly.

Sima Wu: Ya Xiaonan, what do you mean?

Xiao Huohuo: Brother Sima said that the experience of eating melons was extremely bad and asked KP to apologize to all the people.
