The villain has been playing badly for ten years

The mist is lingering like a thin veil.

The outline of the mountain is looming in the fog, like the back of a giant beast, undulating.

The fog came in a very strange way. The scenery became dim wherever the sight was, and even the strange man in black who was fighting fiercely just now was nowhere to be seen.

But what if the flowers wither?

Ning Xiusu was sweating profusely and was still in shock. He was in the thick fog and couldn't find anyone.

The surroundings were extremely empty and my heart seemed to be burning. I took out the key from my arms. The key made of bronze emitted a faint glow.

This is the water key given by Dan Yulang.

But why did it dim as he turned around? Could it be that this key was pointing the way?

Ning Xiusu walked towards the direction where the light had been shining, and soon he saw the magnificent palace hidden in the fog.

Standing in silence and solemnity, its outline is looming, like a mirage.

As I got closer, the old, mottled bronze door opened silently, just like that day.

The secluded passage is spotlessly white, with countless silver threads constantly floating around. The ancient pines are verdant, with twisted branches like winding dragons and snakes.

There is no change here, except that there is a place for making tea on the table.

On the contrary, Dan Yulang likes gorgeous things very much. He wears a crabapple-colored brocade spring gown. His posture is not androgynous, but rather charming and almost evil.

"It seems the prince is in danger."

"How do you know? There's an ambush."

When Dan Yulang heard his question, he didn't even look up. He was fiddling with something next to the gold-lacquered sundial, apparently repairing an instrument.

Ning Xiu walked forward with a frosty breeze on his clothes, and his bony fingers just pressed down on the tooth plate he was about to pick up.

Tan Yulang raised his eyes slightly and smiled charmingly:

"Why, Your Majesty, are you going to help me?"

Ning Xiusu ignored him and looked left and right, then spoke again. His voice broke through his usual laziness and he said suspiciously:

"Unless, those killers are related to you."

Seeing his stern expression, Dan Yulang stopped what he was doing and said, "Tongyou never participated in the killing. How can you wrongly accuse me, Your Majesty?"

"Is it?"

He raised his eyebrows casually, his suspicion still lingering.

"Then today is really a coincidence."

"Your Highness, why do you have to say something with hidden meaning?" Tan Yulang said, with a hint of slyness in the corners of his slightly upturned eyes.

"We are not enemies in the first place, so how could we be targeted?"

Here we go again. Talking to this guy is always like playing charades. It's really exhausting...

"Since you said you didn't target me, how do you explain the existence of a killer like He Qi?"

"I just wanted the Three Flower Temple to remind you."

Tan Yulang brushed the dust off his hands and raised his eyes to look at him again: "After all, in the domain, you two shouldn't get too close."

Ning Xiusu had no patience: "What do you mean?"

His eyes were as charming as spring, captivating: "You are a variable, so you must keep your distance from other lawful people."

"why?"

"Because it sets the rules."

Is this the rhetoric again...

Ning Xiusu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him coldly. Dan Yulang suddenly chuckled:

"In addition to the Tongyou Realm, this realm also contains countless strange realms. We are trapped in the realm. Only by becoming the master of the realm can we avoid its prying eyes."

Dan Yulang finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Ning Xiusu seductively and continued, "So, among lawful people, fighting and killing for survival is inevitable."

"What exactly is it?"

"No one knows, but the second level of invasion is coming soon."

"Second floor?"

Ning Xiusu really didn't understand and couldn't help but sneer: "What you said is completely groundless. Isn't it just fabricated out of thin air?"

"Your Highness has been in the domain for so long and is still safe and sound. It shouldn't be able to find you."

"..."

As he spoke, he walked closer to Ning Xiusu: "But the appearance of Hua Jianbai seems to have disrupted everything."

"so what?"

Tan Yulang's eyes were dark and provocative:

"In this realm, no one has ever been immune to their own evil. Let me help you test it. Will Hua Jianbai join that camp?"

Ning Xiusu listened to him for a while, and then he was furious. He stepped forward and grabbed Dan Yulang's collar:

"I ask you, how is he now?"

Dan Yulang seemed to have not expected him to be so angry. His voice was seductive and sinister:

"Your Majesty, the Three Flowers Temple didn't do anything to him, why are you losing your composure?"

As he spoke, his cold knuckles brushed against the back of his hand and caressed into his sleeve.

"The Realm is in chaos now, but I don't think it's because of you. Your Highness, do you not want to solve the mystery of the Realm?"

Ning Xiusu's brows twitched slightly, and he let go of his hand with some disgust.

"Could it be possible to return to the real world by solving the mystery of the realm?"

Tan Yulang smiled with an ambiguous smile, which was extremely alluring:

"Your Majesty, if you want to go back, you must stay and cooperate with me. After all, every Wonderland Master will seek out a like-minded person."

Ning Xiusu didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all: "There are thousands of people in the domain, how do you know who is the same kind?"

"Anyone who enters the domain will be spied on, attacked, and then fight each other. They will naturally come looking for us."

Tan Yulang moved closer to him, "But you are different, you are really interesting."

Ning Xiusu believed that his intentions were impure and his words were not credible.

He placed the bronze key on the table and said coldly, "But I'm not interested in the wonderland you mentioned."

Dan Yulang, against the backdrop of his crabapple-colored clothes, wore a seductive smile that barely reached his eyes: "I'm giving you the Water Key. Once you accept it, you can't return it."

"How could I not know that there are such domineering things in this world?"

He snorted and chuckled, then turned around to leave this secluded place.

Dan Yulang had no intention of stopping him. Seeing Ning Xiusu step out of the secluded passage, he said quietly:

"Your Majesty, you will regret this."

The words were like threats, dissipating along with the palace.

……

It was dusk, and egrets were flying over the shore of Tingzhou Island. The setting sun reflected on the lake, making the waves sparkle.

It is said that Hua Jianbai came out of the thick fog and did not see anyone, even Ning Xiusu was nowhere to be found.

His arm was injured, and the snow-blue fabric of his clothes was stained even darker with blood.

I lost too much blood, and after walking for a while, I felt dizzy. The muddy mountain path was full of potholes, and I lost my balance and fell into the stream for no apparent reason.

The stream rushed down and merged into a lake. There was a pleasure boat floating on the lake. White clouds and ancient trees were reflected in the water. Hua Jianbai was seen by the maid on the pleasure boat.

"Miss, look there~"

Hearing the maid's voice, the person who pulled aside the curtain was a young girl, about 28 years old, with a figure like the autumn moon, and was quite dignified and lovely.

"Quick, pull the person out!"

I sniffed and felt a very faint breath.

The girl was quite generous. She took out a life-saving pill and stuffed it into Hua Jianbai's mouth.

The medicine melted in his mouth. Perhaps Hua Jianbai was not destined to die, so he choked a few times and woke up.

But what is suffocating is the intermittent mechanical sounds in my ears.

"Number 367, I'm Bai Zhu. Congratulations on unlocking the achievement of dying and coming back to life..."

Atractylodes macrocephala again!

Hua Jianbai's vision was still hazy, but he was already extremely angry.

"Can you please get out of my head?"

Hanamibai has been so annoyed by this thing lately that the first thing he said when he woke up was almost a national treasure.

"Hey bro, are you okay?"

The girl bent down slightly, with a few strands of black hair hanging down her face, and she seemed very confused about his mumbling.

Hua Jianbai finally reacted and saw a very graceful girl in her eyes. She was wearing a lilac-colored satin dress with gold cloud threads, her hair was tied up high and a lily flower was inserted diagonally in her hair.

We are all girls, so we have to be more restrained.

So Hua Jianbai put away his cursing face, wiped the wet hair off his face, and smiled at the girl: "I'm fine, thank you."

The maid next to him, with her hair in buns, stretched out her hand to him and asked, "16,000."

"What?"

"I just used the White Crane Golden Elixir to save you. The market value is 16,000 taels. Pay me!"

"I have no money."

"That won't work!"

The White Crane Golden Pill is something that only the Song family, a cultivator clan, has. Could it be that the person he encountered was a cultivator?

Hanamibai was thinking about this when he heard the girl scolding the maid.

"Master said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Life is not measured by price."

Master?

How does this sound like the words of a Shangqing Daoist cultivator? Those cultivators often say this.

Hua Jianbai thought of Ning Xiusu again. It was a pity that the villain had completely wasted his cultivation. He was really not enterprising and it was all in vain.

"Oh, that's right, what the little swordsman said is very adventurous." He thought to himself, without forgetting to praise him.

Her eyes were like autumn moons, and she asked with a smile: "How did you know I practice swordsmanship?"

"Well, I can see that."

"My dear, can you tell faces?"

"Not only can I read faces, I can also tell fortunes with my fingers."

Hanamiba said proudly:

"Your master is from the Shangqing Sect, right? So you should be the eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Xing."

"Hey, you're really good. You calculated it perfectly."

As soon as the girl admitted it, Hanamibai knew what was going on. It turned out that she was just a passerby who was mentioned briefly in his novel.

But what’s strange is why Passerby A is hanging around here?

Hua Jianbai was confused and saw that the pleasure boat was getting closer to the shore. He suddenly couldn't let go of Pu Boyu's disappearance.

"Well, Miss Song, I'm grateful for your kindness. See you later."

"Eh... I haven't asked you yet..."

Before Song Xing could utter his name, Hua Jianbaiyi disappeared in a moment.

Hua Jianbai left the pleasure boat and walked very quickly. Looking at the location information given by the system, which showed that Pu Boyu was in the direction of the capital, he wanted to go north.

But as soon as I lifted my leg, a dialog box appeared in front of me, which read.

Please complete the character setting task!

Unable to bear the annoyance, his conscious gaze fell on one of the items, and it showed:

The task target has been bound, please confirm.

As far as the eye can see - sure.

Hua Jianbai found that his legs and feet were not working well. He changed direction as if he was being controlled, and the location information given by the system also changed.

Who are you going to find?

Is this the goal of the character setting task?

What is the character's mission...Isn't he going to kiss, hug, or lift someone up again? Is there something even more excessive and unbearable to watch, like drugging someone last time?

Hua Jianbai couldn't imagine who he was targeting this time.
