I speedrunned the fairies' game!

Chapter 8 Fairy Xiao

Outside the window, the rain is sparse and the wind is strong; inside the room, the red silk curtains are warm.

After a stick of incense.

"It won't work."

"Sister Yan, I really have to go."

Chen Ran sat up, wrapped his arms around the most beautiful woman in Tai'an City from behind, and kissed her fair and delicate nape. "Let's exercise together again next time."

"Can't we even wait until dawn?"

Xu Yan glanced back at her lover with a hint of resentment: "Who's the kind person who goes out of town so late at night?"

Chen Ran shook his head and said, "I have arranged to travel to Mount Shu with a master. She is waiting for me at the city gate right now."

"A master?" Xu Yan's eyes narrowed, about to ask something.

But her lips were sealed by the young man.

"Sister Yan, you said you wouldn't ask me." Chen Ran reached out and stroked the still flushed face of the mature beauty, tidying her disheveled hair.

"Hmph, fine, I won't ask then." Xu Yan pouted, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is there anything else I can do to help you? Do you need any more money?"

"No need. The gold and silver you've given me over these three months have been more than enough."

Chen Ran pinched her cheek and kissed her forehead with his perfume. "You're really leaving, Sister Yan'er. Take good care of yourself."

He was not one to be sentimental, but when he uttered the words "take care," a hint of sadness lingered in his heart.

Having transmigrated here, he was all alone, with no relatives or friends. The beggar Zhou Cheng and this noble lady from Tai'an City were the only two people in this strange world who were truly kind to him.

"Oh, you can go now. I'll stay in your room a little longer."

Xu Yan turned her head away and said quietly, "Anyway, you won't think about me in the future."

Having said that, she lowered her head, her expression growing increasingly desolate: "How could I not know how wonderful the outside world is? If my father and brothers hadn't entrusted the family business to me, I would have loved to go out and travel and see it for myself."

"There will be an opportunity. Perhaps before long, we will meet at the summit in some place where flowers bloom like smoke."

Chen Ran smiled and hugged the petite and soft body of the ancient mature woman again.

After a series of kisses and cuddles.

Chen Ran extended an invitation for the first time:
"Miss Xu, let's take a bath together, and while we're at it..."

"I want to work on my weak points again."

Xu Yan: (●●)
Another incense stick has burned out.

After taking a bath with the future richest woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also giving her countless gifts.

It was already close to midnight.

Chen Ran wasn't in a hurry to keep his appointment with the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. Instead, he styled his hair into a scholar's hairstyle and changed into a handsome scholar's robe.

The story of beggar Xiao Chen has come to an end.

Next, he will make his move as the dashing scholar "Young Master Chen".

We made our way through alleys and corridors, arriving at the "Jinpeng Inn" in the south of the city as quickly as possible.

As he approached the shopkeeper's counter, before he could even speak, the hunched-over waiter greeted him with a beaming smile: "Young master, are you looking for a fairy in black?"

Upon hearing the respectful "Young Master," Chen Ran paused for two seconds before realizing that he had already changed his appearance.

How did you know I was looking for her?

Chen Ran looked around, only to find the entire first floor deserted.

The waiter chuckled and said, "Because that fairy has booked the entire place for tonight and instructed me to wait for you here. However, she said that only one person would be coming."

"A beggar, is that right?" Chen Ran chuckled. "That's right. My wife always loves to badmouth me in front of others. Which room is she in?"

"Young master, the lady is on the rooftop of the pavilion!"

Chen Ran climbed the steps.

Pushing open the rooftop door, one sees a vast rooftop terrace filled with stars and a silver moon hanging high, where a voluptuous, tall figure in black stands atop the carved railing.

A gentle night breeze ruffled her neatly styled high bun and her ornate, retro-style long dress, revealing a glimpse of her fair and full calves.

Surprisingly, the scene is quite beautiful.

After a moment of distraction, Chen Ran cleared his throat and was about to speak.

A low, cold, mature female voice, accompanied by the sound of the wind, arrived first:

"You came."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"?"

Chen Ran glanced at the other person.

Are you just showing off by playing Gu Long's novels?
“But I still came.” He thought for a moment and then added a matching line.

"Did you consider the possibility of death before you came here?"

Under the silver moon, the Holy Maiden turned her head, her naturally charming peach blossom eyes now filled with a chilling killing intent. "I despise those who break their promises the most. We agreed to meet at 7 PM. Look at what time it is now!"

"The Holy Maiden has misunderstood."

Chen Ran said solemnly, "I originally planned to come here directly after finishing the affairs of the gang, but I thought that I was disheveled and dressed in rags, and it would be too disrespectful to discuss important matters with the Holy Maiden in this state, so I simply took a shower and changed into clean clothes."

Luo Yuling was taken aback upon hearing this, then narrowed her beautiful eyes and carefully examined the other person.

Upon seeing this young man, one could see that he had a fair complexion, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a tall and straight figure accentuated by a blue satin scholar's robe. Every gesture he made exuded elegance and natural grace, making him appear to be a handsome and refined young master from a noble family.

He was completely different from the destitute little beggar he was during the day.

After staring at her for a few breaths, Luo Shenggu coldly flicked her sleeve and turned away:

"Hmph, I knew you were no ordinary beggar."

"Oh, my identity doesn't matter. As long as you have the will, even a beggar can become an emperor."

Chen Ran chuckled twice and walked over. "Speaking of which, the women of your Cangming Sect are quite interesting. They all like to come to the rooftop to discuss serious matters."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shenggu's pretty face beneath her veil darkened, and she asked warily, "What do you mean by that?"

"Just saying." Chen Ran shrugged.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the other person now that the other woman from the Cangming Sect he was referring to was one of the many fairy heroines in the game, and also a highly accomplished disciple of her, Luo Shenggu.

"You're not just saying that casually," Luo Shenggu persisted. "You were able to enter the Cangming Underground Palace, find that secret chamber, and see my 'secrets' because there must be a traitor within my sect!"

"That's enough, Fairy Luo."

Chen Ran's face also darkened: "Think about it carefully. Even if I tell you everything, what then? If you dared to gamble that 'this secret won't spread after my death,' you would have killed me with a single blow during the day, wouldn't you?"

"."

Luo Yuling's fair face beneath the veil turned ashen, but she offered no rebuttal.

She forcibly suppressed her emotions and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what are the other two things?"

"That's right, this is the Cangming Saintess I admire."

Chen Ran got straight to the point: "The second thing: I need you to escort me all the way to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. If I'm not mistaken, your original itinerary was also to go south."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden Cangming's expression changed again, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Just how much do you know about me?"

"Like I said, it's not important."

Chen Ran said, "Now that things have come to this, what you should be asking me is—what is this third thing?"

"..." Luo Yuling took a deep breath: "So, what is the third thing?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Chen Ran brewed himself a pot of tea: "Let's talk about it when we get to Mount Shu."

"you"

Luo Yuling trembled with anger, her generous and wealthy chest heaving.

In an instant, she suppressed her anger again and gritted her teeth, saying, "Do you know that my Cangming Sect is one of the eight great demonic sects in the Eastern Region? It has always been regarded as the mortal enemy of evil by those Taoist cultivators of Mount Shu. You still want me to escort you into Shu. Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

"No. As far as I know, the Holy Maiden is an expert in disguise and infiltration, just as I am."

Chen Ran said, "Besides, you only need to protect me. You don't need to interfere with anything I need to do along the way."

Luo Yuling pondered for a long time before saying coldly, "Very well, I can grant your request, but I must remind you—"

"I know what you're worried about."

Chen Ran interrupted calmly: "Don't worry, after I arrive at the gate of Shu Mountain, I will tell you the third thing. If I can't remember it by then, then our deal will be considered complete, and I will keep your secret for the rest of my life."

"Hmph, easy for you to say." Luo Yuling sneered, "After you've done three things, how can I be sure you won't continue to blackmail me?"

“Holy Maiden,” Chen Ran raised his eyes, earnestly meeting those soft, moist eyes, “you had no choice, did you?”

Luo Yuling's delicate body trembled, but she remained silent.

"If, after the deed is done, you break your promise and leak even a whisper of my affair, I will kill you."

“In a way that you can’t even imagine how cruel,” she said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, the Holy Maiden will definitely do it."

Chen Ran said, "So, from this perspective, does the Holy Maiden feel that our agreement can have a good ending and achieve a win-win situation?"

Luo Yuling gave a noncommittal hum, turned her back, and gazed at the crescent moon in the sky, remaining silent for a long time.

Chen Ran didn't disturb him, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a drink.

After a long silence, a weak, hesitant female voice came from behind: "Why me?"

"Huh?" Chen Ran was taken aback.

Luo Yuling's beautiful eyes were dazed as she murmured as if talking to herself, "Back when I was confronting Lin Yuewei at Tiandang Peak, I had a bad feeling. When she mentioned a 'Young Hero Tang' as a helper, I had an even stronger premonition that I would surely perish here. However, in the end, it was you who appeared."

"You truly never even considered helping Lin Yuewei by killing me?"

"."

Hearing her say these words herself, Chen Ran was quite moved.

On the second day after his transmigration, having come to terms with reality, he began to formulate his "speedy ascension to immortality plan".

In this plan, he also set up several alternative routes based on possible variables.

In all the routes, Luo Yuling is destined to die at the start.

Who could have imagined that his first impressions of the two women would lead him down a path he never envisioned?

I don't even know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"perhaps."

Chen Ran put down his teacup, stood up and went to the side of the mature fairy, looking at the star-studded night sky of this other world with her. "In countless times, you and I have passed each other by without ever having met. Holy Maiden, you really will die at the hands of a petty villain, just as you foresaw."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Now we stand here, gazing at this starry sky together."

Chen Ran turned her head away, smiling as she looked at the stunning profile of the other person, faintly visible beneath the veil:

"At least this time, we found the perfect timeline."

"what."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful Saintess, who was as aloof as snow, seemed to be touched by something. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she slightly opened her mouth, letting out a surprised exclamation.

Then, the two looked at each other, but remained silent.

After an awkward silence.

Chen Ran broke the silence:

"Alright, Holy Maiden, it seems we've reached an agreement."

"I'm going back to my room to rest now. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After taking only a few steps, a faint woman's soft moan came from behind.

Chen Ran was startled and turned around to look.

The tall and slender Luo Shenggu was seen bending over, clutching her lower abdomen, half-squatting on the ground, sweat pouring down her forehead!
"The area around her lower abdomen."

Combining the private memories that Luo Yuling stored on the screen wall in the game, Chen Ran instantly understood something!
The evil spell that Nangong Mei, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, had personally carved on her lower abdomen had taken effect!
Chen Ran immediately rushed over and caught his falling body.

“How dare you!”

Luo Yuling was startled by his sudden touch, and her pretty face instantly turned bright red.

"This is my private matter. It has nothing to do with you! If you don't want to die, release me!"

"shut up."

Chen Ran, too lazy to waste words, reached out and rummaged through the other's wide black robe: "Where's the medicine? Do you have the pill to suppress the Heart-Corroding Acacia Technique with you?"

How could you possibly know?

Luo Yuling was greatly shocked. Ignoring the chaotic evil power surging within her body, she stared at the young man in astonishment.

Her full, rosy lips parted and closed, as if she wanted to ask something—

But the young man silenced her with a domineering kiss.

"That's all."

"For the sake of a smooth collaboration in the future, I'll make a sacrifice."

Luo Yuling: !!!

at the same time.

Outside Tai'an City.

Night fell like ink spilled across the mountains, and three hundred miles away, a full silver moon hung in the center of the inky sky.

"Shhhhh-"

Two graceful figures, dressed in white as snow, flew across the sky on their swords, passing in front of the silver moon, and sped straight towards Tai'an City.

"Xi Yue, is Senior Sister Lin really in Tai'an City?"

The fairy on the left spoke with a hint of doubt, her gaze sweeping across the dark wilderness below.

The jade hairpin tucked diagonally in her hair reflected the moonlight, and the edges of her plain white wide sleeves were embroidered with light blue Taoist patterns, clearly indicating that she was a female Taoist cultivator.

"Mmm," replied the stunningly beautiful fairy on the right, whose graceful figure and ethereal beauty were even more captivating.

She wore a moon-white silk dress, her black hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall. The hem of the dress was embroidered with dark cloud patterns, and a light blue ribbon was tied around her waist, making her waist appear slender and delicate.

Those jade-like legs, covered in white silk as thin as cicada wings, were straight and slender. When the night breeze blew, the smooth curves of their legs were faintly outlined within the skirt.

"Do you know, Senior Sister Cen?"

Xiao Xiyue, the current Holy Maiden of Cihang Sword Sect, gently stroked the fragment of the spirit tablet in her sleeve with her fingertips, and said in a low voice, "Actually, Senior Sister Lin's natal spirit tablet disappeared during the day, and the final direction it pointed to was above Tai'an City."
