Chapter 50 Alarm message that breaks the deadlock
Chapter 50 Alarm message that breaks the deadlock
Wen Rui actually had a good impression of Junior Sister He, but he had given her too much emotional value before and was afraid that she would have improper thoughts about him, so he could only treat her coldly.
After observing and studying female demon cultivators at the foot of Mount Li for so many years, Wen Rui understands the personalities of his fellow junior sisters very well. They really can't be given too much sunshine, as these children are the type who will shine brightly with a little sunshine.
The demon women are very passionate. The demon race is a race that dares to love and hate, and is extremely emotional, especially the female demons, who can't wait to give themselves to the man as soon as he shows them the slightest kindness.
There are many examples of people paying for what they have done, such as The Crane Returns a Gratitude, The Snail Girl, The Fairy-Fox Love, and The Cat Girl Transforms Me.
After saving a human female, she must at least undergo an appearance assessment first. If she passes the assessment, it means "I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only pledge my love to you with my body." If she fails, it means "I will work like a slave in my next life to repay you."
There are also such identification rules for female monsters, but the scoring criteria are very broad. As long as they are not too ugly (uglier than male monsters), you can basically get a beautiful wife.
Even though he had disguised and uglier his appearance, Wen Rui was extremely cautious about showing favor to his junior sisters. He even refused to show them the slightest bit of good face, for fear that he would be unfaithful and attract the girls to throw themselves at him.
Apart from the factor that the renal function of a mortal body is too weak, the main reason is that there are too many junior sisters in Lishan. If there were only three or five of them, they could just hook up with them. If time management was done well and PUA was in place, they could have fun together.
With more than 500 junior sisters, Wen Rui really has the will but not the ability. Even if he has the strength, he doesn't have the kidneys. Even if he has the kidneys, he doesn't have the energy to please everyone and dance among the flowers.
It is human nature to worry about inequality rather than scarcity, and the same is true for demons. Moreover, the proportion of yandere demons is very large.
If it is impossible to treat everyone equally, then simply not to get any treatment. This is the safest solution. After all, the demons are extremely passionate and emotional. Not only do they love madly, but when love turns to hatred, the hatred is endless.
If more than 500 junior sisters become jealous to the point of madness, turn love into hatred, and become mad because of their yandereness, Wen Rui will definitely be the one who suffers the most in the end, and it will not be surprising if he loses his life.
Wen Rui's time travel can be described as "I have been walking on thin ice all my life". It is not easy for him to survive from the beginning of the collapse of the sky to now. If he fails because of the female fairy, it will be too not worth it and too stupid.
Therefore, when he encountered any prompts about possible characters to pursue, he would choose "no" without hesitation, and would even go so far as to increase his favorability to a negative level, completely cutting off the other party's thoughts and nipping the danger in the bud.
She didn't treat He Lingyun well and even hinted at him in her words, but she didn't expect that her ability to withstand pressure was better than expected. Although she was ashamed and depressed, she was unwilling to leave tactfully. She just fiddled with her fingers helplessly, followed Wen Rui silently with red eyes.
Seeing her like this, Wen Rui felt very troubled. He couldn't bear to say a few warm words to comfort her, for he was afraid that she would misunderstand him and become even more obsessed with him in the future. If he scolded and drove her away, he felt it was a pity, because if she needed to use her in the future, it would take more effort to coax her back.
The beginning of Sky Collapse is so helpless. The only remnants of Jiejiao are a group of junior sisters led by the capitulationist Lishan Laomu. They have no cards to play and due to the brutal coercion of the system, they can only make a fuss and coax and deceive these junior sisters who have little ability and are full of trouble to make good use of them.
Under the current circumstances, he couldn't find an excuse to escape underground - there was a group of little demon students following him. These demon children generally had low aptitude for cultivation. Not to mention the ability to fly with swords, they couldn't even learn basic spells such as light body skills and earth escape skills. He couldn't just leave these orphans who had suffered the trauma of abandonment in this wilderness.
These demon children are Wen Rui's basic base. Although they are still young now, they will definitely be his greatest help in reviving Jiejiao in the future. Therefore, he cannot treat them slowly. He must make good emotional investments in them and maintain a deep bond that is not as close as family members but better than family members.
The tall girl followed Wen Rui silently for a long time before she mustered up the courage to speak again: "Junior Sister Luan is gifted, born of noble birth, and is so bright and beautiful... Senior Brother, you must like her very much, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't favor her so much and help her for free at the cost of breaking the rules..."
When asked this question, even a smart man like Wen Rui didn't know how to answer. If asked about his true feelings, he really didn't have any romantic thoughts about the little phoenix. He only regarded her as the best experimental material.
As for He Lingyun, Wen Rui admired her temperament and talents very much and wanted to cultivate her well.
"Well, it's okay, not annoying." Wen Rui considered his words and said, "After all, the Phoenix Clan that Junior Sister Luan belongs to is the totem sacred beast of the Shang Dynasty. It has always been revered and worshipped by the old Shang people. It also has a long history with my Wen family's ancestors. I have to help them."
"Oh, that's it!"
He Lingyun's thoughts were written on his face, and no one knew what was in his mind, but when he heard Rui say that, his depressed spirits were boosted a lot.
Wen Rui continued with a straight face, "Besides, if I sign a body donation agreement with her, wouldn't I be at a huge loss? When the Phoenix Clan dies, they either perish and turn into ashes, or are reborn in Nirvana. I won't get anything, so I might as well do her a favor."
He Lingyun's mood became more and more charming, with a smile on her face. She pursed her lips but still followed Wen Rui closely, glancing at him from time to time.
Feeling her warm gaze, Wen Rui felt uneasy and thought he was in great trouble. He was thinking about how to dispel this child's covetousness towards him.
Wen Rui gritted his teeth and made a decision. He had to use the "hurt the enemy a thousand times, hurt yourself eighty thousand times" skill to cut off the emotional thread. He stammered, "Junior Sister He, to be honest... to be honest... there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not. I will only tell you, please don't tell anyone else."
He Lingyun was stunned, full of expectation, eyes widened, cheeks slightly red, and said coquettishly: "I... I am not mentally prepared yet, then, then you tell me... I, I can't guarantee that I will agree!" Wen Rui said with difficulty: "Brother, I... actually like men... ahem, men..."
It's really hard to say what I want to say. After all, if I say it out loud, it will probably spread. Then the false will become true and the true will become false. I can't wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River. I'm afraid I won't be able to preserve my reputation for the rest of my life.
If the news gets to the Heavenly Palace and his adoptive father Wen Zhong, who controls thunder and lightning, gets to know about it, who knows if he will send down a world-destroying thunderbolt to kill Wen Rui, the rebellious son who has brought disgrace to the family.
"Difficult? What's difficult?"
He Lingyun tilted her head and stared with her beautiful eyes wide open, expecting something.
After careful consideration, Wen Rui still did not say the second half of the sentence. After all, the destructive power was too great, and it was hard to predict whether it would be good or bad if he said it out loud.
However, he was halfway through saying it and wanted to get it over with. He had trouble finishing the second half of the sentence. Just as Wen Rui was thinking about whether to say "pumpkin" or "nanmu", his watch made a harsh beeping sound.
The highest level alarm sounded, and Wen Rui didn't bother to answer He Lingyun. He tapped his temple with his finger, turned on the retinal projection, and checked the message sent by Jarvis.
His expression became more and more solemn. Even He Lingyun, who was standing beside him, obviously noticed that something was wrong and vaguely guessed that something big seemed to have happened.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Wen?" He Lingyun asked with concern.
Wen Rui frowned and looked at her meaningfully, but his tone was not impatient. He said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that the body donation agreement of a certain junior sister is about to take effect. I have to make preparations in advance and rush to collect the body immediately. After all, the fresher the body for scientific research, the better."
He Lingyun was stunned. It took him a while to figure out what happened. He asked in surprise, "You mean a junior sister just died? How did you know so quickly?"
"To do this corpse collecting business, you naturally need a unique secret, otherwise you won't be able to grab a warm corpse."
Wen Rui said as a matter of course: "I installed monitoring equipment on the buttons of the standard Taoist robes I sold to the Jinling Sect, which can monitor the wearer's geographical location and vital signs in real time. The alarm just now was a reminder that a certain junior sister's vital signs have dropped to an extremely dangerous level, and she is not far from death."
He Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "That means that the junior sister is still alive? Which junior sister is in danger? Since you know the location, why don't you go and save her?"
"Me? Save her? I am just a mortal with low cultivation and limited strength. Who can I save?"
Wen Rui was surprised and said, "Besides, what I signed with her was a body donation agreement, not a security agreement. Why should I save her? If I save her, where can I find another fresh cultivator's body for dissection?"
He Lingyun's eyes revealed an extremely disappointed look. Others didn't know Wen Rui's ability, but she knew it very well. This statement of lack of strength was obviously a perfunctory excuse, and the second half of the statement was even more cold-blooded and ruthless, treating Junior Sister Li Shan like a commodity.
It’s okay to be disappointed!
Seeing her reaction like that, Wen Rui was delighted. He felt that he was very lucky as he could improve his negative favorability at the right time.
The girl put away her previous little girl's attitude, and said in a serious tone: "Brother Wen, please tell me the name and location of the sister in distress. I will rush back to the sect to report and ask the elders of the sect to rescue her."
"Isn't this disrupting my business?" Wen Rui said angrily, "You caused me to lose a fresh corpse in vain and delayed my research progress. Who will compensate me for my losses?"
He Lingyun acted as if he had just met Wen Rui for the first time. He couldn't believe that he would actually say such a thing. The disappointment in his eyes grew stronger, and even revealed a hint of hatred.
Wen Rui felt that the situation was ripe. If he continued to gain negative favorability, he would easily create hatred. He quickly said, "Forget it. Since we are both from the Jiejiao sect, I will accept the loss in this deal. Do you recognize Junior Sister Niu Xiruo from Jinghua Lake? From the monitored voice, it seems that she has most likely encountered the 'Monster Hunting Team.'"
He Lingyun thought for a moment and remembered the girl with smooth skin, plump figure, quiet and smiling. He nodded and asked quickly: "Tell me quickly, where did she have the accident?"
"It's not too far, but it's also outside the Lishan Immortal Sect's sphere of influence. It's hard to say whether the elders in the sect are willing to help such a disciple who violates the rules and goes down the mountain privately."
Wen Rui said: "There is a Mopan Mountain 300 miles to the east. We can't see her trace from the real-time aerial photos. She should be trapped in a cave."
He Lingyun looked at Wen Rui deeply and said no more. He took out his flying sword and was about to fly into the air.
Wen Rui stopped her and said, "Judging from the declining trend of Junior Sister Niu's vital signs, if you go directly from here, you may arrive before she dies. If you go back after consulting with Senior Commander Li Shan, I'm afraid her body will be dissected and eaten up. It's better to let me have it, at least I can keep the body intact."
