I speedrunned the fairies' game!

Chapter 20 Fairy Pei's Cultivation (5K views, please continue reading)
He suddenly uttered a remark that startled everyone present.

In the square, the crowd turned to look in the direction of the sound.

A handsome young man in white scholar's robes, holding a folding fan, slid down from the eaves of the main hall in front of them in a "sliding tackle" motion.

It fell to the ground with a "bang".

The crowd snapped out of their astonishment and began to whisper amongst themselves:

"Hey, who's this kid? I've never seen him before!"

"Unbelievable! However, Jintan Temple is an ancient temple with a thousand-year history and profound cultural heritage. This kid dares to spout such nonsense and slander people in public. He's probably in for a good scolding!"

"On another note, this guy is really good-looking! He's no less handsome than that Senior Brother Song from Mount Shu!"

On the high platform.

The head monk of the Discipline Hall, Master Shizhen, who presided over the "Demon Slaying Assembly," had his thick eyebrows furrowed and his face gloomy.

"Brother Shizhen, what should we do now?" a monk asked anxiously.

"Go immediately and ask the abbot for a decision! Also, bring out that Cangming spy, the Thousand Leaf Demon! As for this brat..."

Shi Zhen stared intently at the uninvited guest who had descended from the sky, clearly prepared for the occasion: "I will personally meet him and see what he has to rely on!"

Having said that, he strode forward, gathering his powerful and vigorous inner strength, and pointed a sharp finger at the youth:

"Who exactly are you? What brings you here? And why are you—slandering the reputation of my temple without cause!"

"I'm just a free spirit," Chen Ran said casually, patting his trouser leg.

"A lawless, disrespectful idler!?"

Shi Zhen revealed a fierce and angry expression, and activated his powerful Sanskrit chanting technique, which made everyone's eardrums ache.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Chen Ran rubbed his ears impatiently, "As a righteous person with a strong sense of justice—"

"I've come to expose the true nature of your Golden Sandalwood Temple—a place of filth, hypocrisy, and debauchery against respectable women!"

These words caused another huge uproar in the room.

"Holy crap! This guy's too brave! He came right up and threw such a shocking charge at me!"

"I'm not interested in anything else, but how does a monk engage in lewdness?"

"The Reckless Monk vs. the Pretty Nun? That's so exciting! It was my favorite episode from the storybooks I read as a kid!"

"Such a masterpiece exists? Please elaborate, sir!"

The situation was becoming increasingly out of control.

Monk Shizhen's face turned pale and then red, and his fists, as big as sandbags, clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Guards! Throw this arrogant scoundrel out of here!"

He flicked his sleeve.

In an instant, several muscular, bronze-faced martial monks leaped out from the side door of the main hall.

"Tsk tsk, they've already produced the Eighteen Bronze Men? The speed of progress in the unorthodox method is indeed fast."

The eighteen bronze men, the elite monsters that precede the dungeon in the game, have come out in full force.

Chen Ran took a step back, seemingly flustered, and shouted, "I'm here to participate in the Demon-Slaying Assembly! What do you want?!"

After saying that, he looked at the black-clad figure on the roof of the library in the distance and was about to make a gesture.

But at this moment.

"Hey~"

A gentle, fragrant breeze caresses my face—

A white-clad figure, unexpected yet perfectly logical, stood in front of him.

"Fairy Xiao, it's me..."

Chen Ran looked up and met Xiao Xiyue's clear, melancholy eyes.

A pang of guilt suddenly flashed through my mind.

After all, he had made a promise to those eyes in the inn last night, that he would leave Jintan Temple this morning.
"Young master, please stop talking."

Fairy Xiao's eyes showed no blame whatsoever. She spoke softly to the young man, then raised her eyes to sweep over the fierce-looking eighteen bronze men.

The next moment, she touched the ground with her jade feet, her long dress fluttered up, and her pair of snow-white hands flipped and formed hand seals in the air, with pure white spiritual energy gradually rising from behind her!

A soft "hissing" sound rang out, and pure energy surged from the sleeve, spreading outwards and rushing towards the eighteen bronze statues around them!

"Boom!"

The aura seemed gentle, but when it collided with the bronze figure, its force suddenly became apparent!

Just as the eighteen bronze figures wielding clubs were about to pounce, they were struck solidly by the pure energy, their burly bodies falling backward in unison, their clubs slipping from their hands, and they were unable to get up for a moment.

It was none other than the "Qingxuan Du'e Jue," one of the three supreme techniques of the Cihang Sword Sect!
Watch this scene.

Another uproar erupted in the square:
"Wow, this is just too outrageous!"

"With just a wave of his hand, the eighteen bronze men could not withstand it!"

"Is this the true wondrous art of immortality? The foundation of the three great families is still far too strong!"

"You're making a fuss over nothing. Don't you even know the significance of being called the 'Strongest Saintess of the Millennium'?"

now.

Watching the Eighteen Bronze Men in the game, which even a speedrunner like myself had to work hard to defeat, being so easily defeated in a single blow.
Chen Ran was also somewhat dazed.

"Wait, is she, a female lead whose role is support/healer, really this powerful?"

"Oh, that makes sense. I almost forgot, this 'Strongest Saintess of Cihang Sword Sect' was supposed to appear in the mid-game 'Immortal Dao Tournament.' At this point in time, for an early-game elite monster like the Eighteen Bronze Men, it's practically a deus ex machina."

"Mr. Chen?"

Seeing that the young man looked dazed, Xiao Xiyue raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, she grasped his hand and said firmly in her beautiful eyes, "Young Master, Xi Yue will take you away!"

"No! There's no need for that!"

Feeling the indescribably soft touch of his palm, Chen Ran finally came back to his senses.

The words just left his mouth.

But this fairy Xiao forcibly pulled him along, and it seemed his feet were about to leave the ground and he would take off—

choke!
In the void, the azure rainbow sword intent manifested.

A handsome figure dressed in a blue Taoist robe descended from the sky and stood in front of the two.

"Senior Brother Song?"

Xiao Xiyue looked at the man in front of her and frowned slightly. "Please step aside."

"No!"

Shushan's "Jade-Faced Swordsman" Song Qingfeng's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Junior Sister Xiyue! What...what is your relationship with this kid? This kid has angered Jintan Temple this time, and by protecting him like this, you will inevitably be implicated!"

"This has nothing to do with Senior Brother Song."

Xiao Xiyue lowered her head and said softly, "Please have some self-respect."

"Me? Self-respect?"

Song Qingfeng's gaze sharpened as he watched his beloved linked arm with another unfamiliar man, and a surge of rage welled up within him: "Junior Sister Xiyue! Shushan and Cihang Sword Sect have always been closely allied, and our two masters have long intended to form a marriage alliance, in other words—"

"I'm practically your fiancé! How can your affairs be none of my business?"

"Listen to your senior brother, okay? Come on, come back with me."

He softened his tone and reached out to tug at the other person's sleeve.

But then he saw Fairy Xiyue gracefully dart backward, avoiding the touch, leaving him with only one hand awkwardly suspended in mid-air!

"Xi Yue, you"

Song Qingfeng was struck dumb, and staggered back three steps.

Suddenly, his eyes turned bloodshot as he looked to the side.

Suddenly, the cowardly scholar who had appeared out of nowhere seemed to be terrified. He half-squatted down and hugged his beloved's legs with a look of panic!
What made it even harder for him to accept was——

But his beloved junior sister Xiyue only gently comforted him, without showing any intention of breaking free!

"This"

Seeing this, Song Qingfeng's Dao heart shattered completely, and he immediately shouted without regard for his image, "Xi Yue! Why? Why is this happening?!"

"Just now, I only wanted to touch your hand, and you..."

"This kid touched you—"

"No!!!"

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the renowned young swordsman of Shu Mountain knelt down, let out a series of mournful roars, and vomited a mouthful of blood!

"Young master, don't be afraid."

Xiao Xiyue lowered her eyes to look at the young man clinging to her legs, her cheeks flushing even more. She said softly, "The situation is urgent. I'll take you away first, if..."

She pursed her lips and said in a voice barely audible, "If there is anything that Young Master wishes to explain to Xiyue, let's discuss it another day."

"I wasn't scared, I just twisted my ankle."

Chen Ran stopped pretending and his gaze returned to its usual clear and calm state. "Fairy, to be honest, I still have a lot to do. I never thought that I would cross paths with you in this life. But since we have met three times by fate, it must be a destiny ordained by heaven. I will definitely treat you sincerely from now on."

Having said that, without waiting for the stunned Fairy Xiyue to speak, he clapped her little hand.

"I previously returned your family heirloom, the 'Heart of the East Sea,' to you. Now, in front of the righteous heroes, you have shown me great favor, so we are even."

"Next, please return to your seat and wait a moment, fairy."

"I'm going to start showing off my real skills now." With that, he pulled his hand away from Xiao Xiyue's tight grip and turned to leave.

"But young master..."

Xiao Xiyue's cherry lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to go forward and say something, but her senior sister Cen Jing stopped her and forcibly pulled her back to her seat.

Chen Ran's gaze was sharp as lightning as he walked towards Shi Zhen on the high platform.

And this moment.

The tall and burly monk Shizhen, his eyes wide with anger, was walking toward him with murderous intent.

Both directions went to belong to yes.

"I never imagined you would know Fairy Xiyue. Who exactly are you? And why are you determined to make things difficult for our temple?"

A deep, thunderous voice reached my ears.

Chen Ran understood.

This is a secret transmission method of the Golden Sandalwood Temple, which only he can hear.

He immediately burst into laughter and said loudly:
"Flowery Monk, you don't need to test me with secret sounds!"

"As I just said, I am a righteous person full of justice. I have come here to expose the evil face of your Golden Sandalwood Temple to the world!"

"Hahahaha!" Shi Zhen laughed wildly: "You? You're just a nobody with no sect or a mysterious identity. What right do you have to participate in this Demon-Slaying Assembly! And why should anyone believe you!"

"In my opinion, you are clearly a spy sent by the Holy Maiden Cangming to gather intelligence and disrupt the Demon-Slaying Assembly!"

He mentioned the infamous and terrifying reputation of the "Cangming Holy Maiden".

A commotion immediately broke out in the square.

Immediately, someone jumped out to agree:

"Yes, young master, how can we believe you if you don't introduce yourself?"

"Please be patient, everyone."

Faced with the crowd's doubts, Chen Ran cleared his throat and said calmly and confidently:
"I am Ji Erbang, the vice leader of the 'Hardbang Gang,' a third-rate gang from Erlong Lake in the Northwest! I have come here on the orders of my gang leader to expose the evil mask at Jintan Temple and to set things right and restore order to the righteous path of Central China!"

This statement caused an uproar in the audience.
"Hardcore Gang? What a unique name! How come I've never heard of it in the martial arts world?"

"Who cares? A fight would be best! If he stirs things up, and then that Holy Maiden of the Azure Sea enters, we can take advantage of the situation to enter the temple and search for the 'Mysterious Heaven Key'!"

"That's right! What do I care about the Demon-Slaying Assembly? I'm here for the Buddha's Secret Realm that opens only once every hundred years!"

"Dude, is it really okay for you guys to say this so bluntly?"

"Oh, so what! I heard the Tomb Raiders have brought their entire force here recently, they're not even putting on an act anymore!"

"Well, it seems that you all have no objection to my identity."

Chen Ran cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the audience and said with a smile, "In that case, then—"

Before the words were finished, a furious shout rang out: "Ji'erbangying! Stop pretending!"

Chen Ran glanced to the side and saw the jade-faced swordsman Song Qingfeng approaching angrily.
"Today you have slandered Jintan Temple and disrupted the order of the assembly without any reason. If you do not give a clear explanation, not only will the eminent monks not forgive you, but all the heroes present will not let you off the hook!"

Chen Ran ignored the clown, pointed his finger towards the Scripture Pavilion, and said loudly, "Guess what's hidden on the second floor of this Scripture Pavilion?"

"Hey! That goes without saying! The Sutra Repository naturally houses the unique skills of Jintan Temple!" someone immediately said.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone added, "Actually, there might actually be a book called 'The Reckless Monk vs. the Pretty Nun'! What do you think, Chief Ji'er?"

Laughter erupted again at the scene.

Chen Ran chuckled lightly, "In my opinion, there are indeed quite a few beauties hidden on the second floor of this Scripture Pavilion, but whether they are nuns or not is hard to say."

After hearing this.

The monk Shizhen on the platform turned deathly pale and hurriedly looked around: "Quick! Bring out that Thousand-Leaf Demon! We can't delay any longer! Besides—"

"Where is the abbot? What did he say?"

“Reporting to Senior Brother, the Abbot said you should act according to the circumstances, as he still has some things to finish,” a young novice monk replied.

"Hey!" Monk Shizhen spat.

next moment.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted.

Then, towering waves surged in from the direction of the Sutra Repository to the north.

In the square, all the heroes were startled and turned to look in unison.

As a blurry black figure swept past, the wooden windows on the second floor of the Sutra Repository flew off like pieces of paper, and the blue brick wall was torn open from the inside out by a brute force.

The laughter and chatter in the room suddenly ceased.

At this moment, the scene on the second floor of the Sutra Repository can be seen through the broken window frames and gaps in the brick wall.
Inside the house stood rows of thick wooden stakes, each with a woman hanging from it. Some were dressed in fine silk or plain clothes, their limbs tightly bound to the stakes with white silk, strips of cloth stuffed between their lips and teeth, their black hair hanging loosely over their shoulders, and purplish-blue marks on their bare necks and wrists. Pairs of tearful eyes peered through the holes at the crowd of heroes outside in astonishment.

"As you all can see."

Chen Ran said coldly, "The old Jin Tan Temple is long dead. What you see now is nothing but a lewd place where lust is hidden and sins are rampant!"

"These women are just here at the temple for us to perform a blessing ceremony for them."

The monk Shizhen's face turned ashen, and he stammered as he spoke.

The words had barely left his mouth when, perhaps realizing their absurdity, he stopped explaining and simply ripped open his monk's robe, revealing a sudden burst of black light emanating from the Sanskrit mantra on his chest—

He actually risked sacrificing his cultivation to activate the Asura Forbidden Curse!
"what--!"

Black energy surged from his seven orifices, and his body swelled to a height of ten feet in the demonic flames, transforming into a monstrous statue with a blue face and fangs!

The demon roared, swung his fist the size of a millstone, and strode powerfully toward the white-robed scholar.

"Gigi Erbangying! I'll take your dog's life!"

Xiao Xiyue's pretty face changed suddenly in the distance, and clear energy instantly condensed at her fingertips.

Seeing her senior sister Cen Jing reach out to stop her, she immediately lowered her voice, each word carrying the majesty of a saint: "Young Master Chen has done a great favor for my Xiao family, and I will protect him today! Senior sister, you can't stop me!"

the other side.

Looking at that enormous, murderous demonic figure that was closing in step by step.

The person involved, "Gill Gang Leader," remained calm and unperturbed.

"The main character hasn't even shown up yet, why are you, a minor boss guarding the gate, risking your life?"

With a flick of his sleeve, he produced the "Divine Mechanism Pill" as planned.

"Activate the ultimate move—Call for reinforcements!"

"Holy Maiden, save me—"

I haven't even had a chance to crush the mud balls yet.

laugh!
A domineering and incomparably brilliant sword light, beyond description, grazed past him and then, like a comet, crashed straight into the Asura Statue!
choke!
The sharp sound pierced the eardrum.

In the blink of an eye.

The Asura giant, whose body was radiating monstrous demonic flames, was swallowed up by the vast sword light!

Not a single drop of blood, not a single scream!

It's as if they never existed!
The whole place was silent again.

After a short while, the sword light gradually faded, and a graceful figure, seemingly detached from the world, slowly appeared at the end.

Both are dressed in white.

However, it wasn't the Fairy Xiao he had expected.

It was not the planned ally, the Holy Maiden of the Azure Sea.

But
Chen Ran took a deep breath.

He scrutinized the woman's back as she stood before him.

Her figure was as upright as a lone pine tree on a mountain peak. Her moon-white gauze dress, originally a style of asceticism and aloofness, was stretched taut by her full, voluptuous body, creating breathtaking curves.

Especially her plump, rounded hips and her proudly large upper body, which were almost eye-catching, were completely opposite to her cool and aloof temperament.

At this moment, her long, shapely legs, full and shapely, stood together.

Although it was a normal standing posture, the waistline cinched by the white silk sash made her hips appear full and alluringly rounded, stretching the gauze dress.

That proud and upright posture seemed to be yearning for something.

With a figure like that, Chen Ran could only describe it with two words—ethereal (and erotic)!
"As expected, the real person in the three-dimensional world is the best."

Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Of course he knew who she was.

He also knew that she had been there the whole time.

But he never expected that she would make a move at this moment!
It shouldn’t be!

This worldline is totally off track!

My mind was in a complete fog.

The white-clad female swordswoman in front of him turned her head and revealed a stunningly beautiful profile.

"I saved you."

Her beautiful eyes glanced back, and she parted her lips slightly, her tone ethereal and aloof, yet carrying the unyielding arrogance of a superior:

"Therefore, you should help me in my spiritual practice."

"?????"

Chen Ran was greatly shocked.

No, even you, the aloof and snow-white Fairy Pei, want to swoon, right?
