Chapter 166: The Solution to Peach Blossom Destiny

“Do you have any ideas? Or should we wrap her up and mail her back in separate packages?” Chen Xiyi offered a very constructive suggestion.

“That probably won’t work. I might not be able to defeat her. I didn’t feel this way before, but I do now.” Lin Feng fell silent.

“Then what should we do? We can’t let her follow us around forever. That would be so troublesome.” Chen Xiyi thought for a moment. “If there’s really no other way, let’s run away.”

Regarding Tang Jing, Chen Xiyi felt like he could probably kill her with one punch.

Therefore, an Innate Warrior was also weak.

But he believed that in life, happiness was the most important thing. If the Tiger Might Emperor died, the world would fall into chaos, and then what would he do?

Although the Jianghu was chaotic now, there was still some order. Killing this Tang Jing would at most let them gather some useless things. What good would that do?

In this peaceful world, Chen Xiyi decided he wanted to be an ordinary scholar who couldn’t even harm a fly.

Lin Feng was silent for a moment. “We can try, but don’t get your hopes up too much. I suspect she is an Xiantian Warrior.”

“Then who do you think she is? The Tiger Might Emperor, White Sun Master, or Blood Shadow Phoenix?” Chen Xiyi asked tentatively.

“Blood Shadow Phoenix, probably. After all, that name sounds more feminine.” Lin Feng was purely guessing.

“…”

Tang Jing looked at the two men in front of her with a face full of black lines. What kind of secret plot was this, being discussed right in front of her, and so loudly too?

It was as if they were afraid she wouldn’t hear.

“Benefactors, what are you talking about? This humble one doesn’t understand,” Tang Jing could only play along and continue the act.

“It’s fine if you don’t understand. Look, a flying saucer!” Chen Xiyi pointed behind Tang Jing.

But Tang Jing didn’t curiously look back. Instead, she stared straight at the two men.

“Why aren’t you following the script? You should turn your head and look where I’m pointing,” Chen Xiyi said with a serious face.

Tang Jing sneered at Chen Xiyi’s words. Was he trying to fool an idiot?

Chen Xiyi’s expression also turned grave. “Old Lin, she’s not falling for it. We can only run.”

After speaking, the two turned and ran wildly. Their speed was incredible. If they hadn’t lacked lychees, they could have added another ‘Concubine Smiles’ to the story.

“Interesting fellows. But do you really think you can escape?” Tang Jing watched the two figures gradually disappear, then suddenly her smile stiffened. She realized the people were gone.

Just like that, whoosh, they vanished.

“Going south, huh? You can run, but you can’t hide. The whole world belongs to me. Where do you think you can run to?” Tang Jing flicked her long sleeve and turned back with a stern expression.

She was, of course, referring to Lin Feng. How could it possibly be Chen Xiyi, with his average face.

…

“We finally got away. Let me tell you, next time I hope we can reach a consensus properly, instead of my consensus being to run away and your consensus being to charge forward recklessly,” Chen Xiyi said earnestly.

Lin Feng also felt a lingering fear. He wasn’t a fool. If an Innate expert clung to him for no reason, who would believe there wasn’t a problem?

Even if this Innate expert meant him no harm.

“I know. Next time, I’ll definitely run away,” Lin Feng said after catching his breath. As for the idea that a swordsman should rather break than bend?

One must know that being too rigid leads to breaking. What he was doing was combining firmness and flexibility.

If he foolishly stuck to the principle of ‘a swordsman would rather break than bend’ and argued with someone who could kill him with one slap, the grass on his grave would have grown three cycles by now.

But Lin Feng felt a bit strange. How exactly did the two of them manage to shake off the other party? Given the other’s strength, it should have been impossible to lose them.

“Did you do it?” Lin Feng asked.

“Mm. As a scholar, knowing just a tiny bit about the Strange Gates Escaping Arts is a very normal thing, right?” Chen Xiyi explained, then continued, “And one more thing, I suspect you have a Peach Blossom Destiny. It hasn’t even been many days since we started traveling, and you’ve already met a woman who has taken a liking to you. If this continues, have you considered practicing some tough external martial arts to prevent yourself from getting your head chopped off by a firewood knife one day.”

Lin Feng thought about his past and combined it with Chen Xiyi’s words, which made him a little unsettled. “It probably won’t happen, right? It’s just normal. I don’t know many women, just…”

“Hold on, don’t ‘just’ yet. Compare the ratio of men to women around you. By the way, you didn’t have a childhood sweetheart back in your hometown, did you? On your way to the Myriad Sword Manor, did you meet any female knights or wealthy young ladies?”

Chen Xiyi immediately cut off Lin Feng’s explanation.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Feng felt terrible.

He, who had always been completely devoted to the sword, had never considered these situations. But after Chen Xiyi pointed it out, he suddenly realized.

“You know the Strange Gates Escaping Arts. Can you solve this situation of mine?” Lin Feng had never even thought about these so-called matters of love and affection.

It was only now that he had this thought and met Chen Xiyi. In a few more days, it might be different.

“Can’t cure it. Wait for death. Farewell.”

Chen Xiyi fired off a set of three very blunt replies.

Who knew what kind of situation this Peach Blossom Luck on Lin Feng was? If it were someone like Ji Shan, a top-level Qi Refiner, perhaps he could see something. But Chen Xiyi was just a weak Qi Refiner; he couldn’t see a thing.

“You can just remind me like you did today when the time comes. It should be fine, right? After all, I’ve gotten through all these years like this.”

“…”

Chen Xiyi was covered in black lines. Was it necessary to show off like this?

He was certain that when Lin Feng rescued a beauty, it would definitely trigger the ‘marry you in return’ branch, not the ‘be your ox or horse in the next life’ branch like his own experiences.

“Fine. I have a little bit of experience in resolving this kind of situation.” Chen Xiyi recalled when he first crawled out of the Shu King Palace’s Underground Shelter and saved that… what was her name… that young lady from a good family.

Afterwards, it didn’t trigger ‘marry you in return’, nor did it trigger ‘be your ox or horse in the next life’. Instead, it was the kind where she repaid the favor right on the spot, and she was very kind-hearted, bringing the entire city to repay him. Very practical.

“You don’t really look like you’ve experienced that,” Lin Feng said very seriously after carefully examining Chen Xiyi’s appearance.

“That’s because I’m not wearing my costume. When I transform into Clear Void True Person Funyaozi, then you’ll know my charm can reach 10 points.” Chen Xiyi was very unconvinced. His average looks were the fault of this Scholar Costume. If his Scholar Costume could add charm points, then even his ordinary face would look better.

Lin Feng didn’t understand Chen Xiyi’s words at all and just took it as him being displeased.

“Alright, you’re right. Where should we go next?” Lin Feng could only go along with what Chen Xiyi said and ask for directions.

“Wasn’t it always you leading the way? We just need to keep heading south.”

“But, there’s no road now. Unless we go back the way we came.” Lin Feng pointed at the dense forest ahead.

After comparing it with his Game Map, Chen Xiyi saw the direction hadn’t deviated. They could go.

So he said earnestly, “There were no roads in the world to begin with, but when many people walk the same way, a road is made. Those words were said by Lu Xun, not me.”

Lin Feng didn’t dwell on who Lu Xun was, but he understood Chen Xiyi’s meaning: just enter the forest.

“By the way, do you think it’s possible that all three of the world’s Xiantian Warriors are women, and we’ll meet all of them on our journey ahead.”

After entering the forest, Chen Xiyi suddenly spoke.

These words made Lin Feng pause. If that really happened, what should he do next?

Especially after hearing Chen Xiyi tell a large number of stories and cases, he felt a bit panicked.

“It probably won’t happen. That was definitely just an accident, a coincidence. Maybe it only happens once in a lifetime.” Lin Feng’s tone was normal, but to Chen Xiyi’s ears, it sounded no different from self-comfort.

“Alright then, I’ll treat it as an accident and a coincidence. I hope the rest of our journey will be smooth and peaceful.” Chen Xiyi held a wait-and-see attitude towards Lin Feng’s stubborn refusal to admit the obvious.

As a Player, he wouldn’t die anyway, and with his average looks, he probably wouldn’t be pestered by others.

Right now, Lin Feng’s Favorability with him had already reached 3.5 stars, almost 4 stars. Once it reached 4 stars, Chen Xiyi planned to let Lin Feng roam freely.

Lin Feng’s Favorability was surprisingly easy to increase. Perhaps it was because Chen Xiyi never intended to trick anyone.

…

“Boss, can we really kill Wandering Light?” Guo Chen looked at the sky from inside the carriage.

The sky at this time was not covered by the Sequences. The blue sky, white clouds, and gentle breeze made Guo Chen feel a sensation he had never experienced before.

When the Immortals’ Sequences covered the sky, there was no sunlight and no rain, which made living conditions extremely difficult.

Scenes they had never seen in their entire lives were ordinary, everyday things for people of this era.

The entire world was kept isolated by the Twelve Temporal Cycles. They didn’t need to consider these things; they just needed to constantly grow, become stronger, and then become part of the Immortals’ Twelve Temporal Cycles.

Zhan Xue, who was driving the carriage, did not answer.

He wasn’t confident either. Actually, he thought more about taking Guo Chen and Nie Meng to find a place to live in seclusion. In his view, he and his two team members were more like his disciples, and he didn’t want them to die because of this.

If they had entered another historical time, then he might fight with all his strength. But facing Wandering Light, the first Immortal to achieve Ascension, the one who established the First Sequence, he had no confidence at all.

In the repeated cycles of the Temporal Cycles, the concept named ‘sword’ was continuously embedded into history. This caused sword techniques and sword-type weapons to gradually become the mainstream in all histories.

“Whether we can or not, we have to go. I want to see the sky and clouds once in the present world. I also want to bathe in a downpour and touch snow,” Nie Meng said with determination in her voice.

“Since it’s already decided, don’t worry about the result. If we can kill It, we fight with our lives. If we can’t kill It, we still have to try hard. Otherwise, how would we know if we can kill It or not?”

Zhan Xue sighed inwardly. To be honest, he actually quite hoped Guo Chen would back out. That way, perhaps he could save his life.

He was actually very conflicted. He both wanted to kill Wandering Light and didn’t want to take the risk. Unfortunately, there was no way to have both.

“It’s just a complaint, that’s all. The world is so beautiful. Why would the Immortals destroy this beauty?” Guo Chen couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the surroundings.

Now, he could also understand why many Response Bureau seniors, after entering the past, would rather be solidified there and stay in the past.

Because a world without the Twelve Temporal Cycles was just too beautiful.

Even if there were fewer Temporal Cycles, the living conditions of the whole world would be much better.

Like now, coming to this time before the beginning of the Mythic Era, if they just found a place to hide, they could completely live a happy life.

“Power. If you had the Power of the Immortals, and the cost was just some unimportant things, what would you think?” Zhan Xue explained.

A thought suddenly arose in Guo Chen’s mind: If it weren’t Wandering Light who used the Ascension Ritual, but him instead, then wouldn’t he have enough Power to protect this beauty?

‘I came to this era not only to eliminate Wandering Light, but if I become an Immortal, I could also bring a better life to people, instead of being a tyrannical ruler.’

Wandering Light must die, but the Ascension Ritual doesn’t necessarily have to be destroyed. I could use it myself.
