This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

nightfall.

In a dense forest.

A group of people dressed in light gray clothing were cautiously exploring.

"This monster hunt was quite successful. Once I return to Wuxuan City, I only need to exchange one Xuan Shui Pill to advance to the Core Formation stage."

Among the crowd, the excitement in the eyes of a young man in a gray shirt was hard to hide. Even in the pitch-black night, he couldn't help but share it with the man of the same age next to him.

They are the Lin family, one of the five major families in Wuxuan City. They came to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to capture demonic beasts to complete their family mission.

He has been stuck in the Spirit Sea Realm for two years. As long as he can exchange for the Profound Water Pill, he can break through to the Core Formation Realm. At that time, he will have a chance to become a genius designated for cultivation by the clan through the Genius Battle.

That would make it even more likely that he would pursue Yanxia.

Lin Yanxia was a famous beauty in the Lin family, and the goddess secretly admired by many collateral disciples.

"Feng Hua, you've only obtained twelve third-tier demon beast cores and three third-grade spirit herbs? That doesn't seem enough. You need to kill at least five more third-tier demon beasts, and not just any three-tier beasts."

You still need to work harder.

A rather burly young man patted Lin Fenghua on the shoulder with a serious expression.

Lin Fenghua's expression changed. "Impossible! I remember that back then, a fourth-tier Profound Water Pill could be exchanged for only ten excellent third-tier core crystals!"

"How could we possibly need so many?"

"Because of the changes in the imperial city, the resources allocated to the previous Thousand Cities Prodigy Battle were reduced, and my Wuxuan City was almost at the bottom again. In addition, my Lin family is at a critical moment, so the price has naturally gone up."

The leading, short-bearded elder explained.

"...This is okay?" Lin Fenghua was a little confused.

"Elder Mo, didn't you say you were going back tomorrow? How am I supposed to make it in time?"

“That’s right, our mission here is almost over, so we naturally have to go back tomorrow.”

"No, my rosy clouds!"

Lin Fenghua almost cried out in pain. He had worked so hard to kill the monsters so that he could get closer to the woman he loved, but you told him that all hope was lost.

"Sigh~ Feng Hua, try to think more positively. In this world, the demon race is stirring up trouble, and cults are slaughtering people at will. We are already very fortunate to be able to live peacefully in Wuxuan City."

Lin Mo sighed deeply; this was the current predicament of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

Because the two Heavenly Venerables of Xuanwu Kingdom died at the hands of a cult some time ago, Xuanwu Kingdom naturally declined.

If it weren't for the cult's unrest, and with all these countries in turmoil, they would probably have already been swallowed up by their neighboring countries.

"Feng Hua, try to look on the bright side. Actually, I don't think Yan Xia is right for you. She... you can't handle her," the burly man comforted him.

Lin Fenghua shook her head firmly, "No, I only like Yanxia, ​​and only Yanxia."

"I will never love any other woman in my life except her."

"......"

"Why make things so difficult for yourself? It's very painful to fawn over someone who doesn't love you."

"Brother Yan, actually, I think Brother Feng Hua isn't just sucking up, but is getting stronger in a different way. I think that's great, I support him."

Behind the two, a little girl with pigtails said with a grin.

Lin Yan glanced back at her and rolled his eyes. "Isn't this just flattery? Every single person his age in the entire clan knows he likes Sister Yanxia?"

The little girl replied, "Look, Brother Fenghua likes Sister Yanxia. He knows to exchange for Xuan Shui Pills to enhance his strength and thus enter the ranks of geniuses, so that he can be worthy of her, instead of using the core crystals he worked so hard to earn to exchange for Xuan Shui Pills and give them away to Sister Yanxia for nothing."

"A simp is someone who gives things away for free without expecting anything in return, but Feng Hua didn't do that, so how can you call him a simp? He's just a brave warrior who charges forward for love."

"......"

"That makes sense." Lin Yan was speechless for a moment.

"Alright, everyone behave yourselves. Although we've left the core of the mountain range, we're still on the outskirts. Don't cause any trouble."

After Lin Mo's reminder, everyone quieted down and continued on their way.

Before long, the group passed through a thicket of bushes and came to a flat area.

"Huh? Someone's here??"

As soon as the group passed through the dense forest and arrived at a clearing, they discovered a campfire slowly rising in the distance.

A figure sat beside the fire.

"You came to the Monster Beast Mountain Range all by yourself?"

Lin Mo narrowed his deep eyes, pondered for a moment, gave a few instructions to his disciples, and then led them forward.

"This Daoist..."

The crowd had just reached Su Yu and were about to greet her.

Suddenly, when they met each other's raised eyes, everyone froze, their breaths catching in their throats.

All that could be seen was a waterfall of long hair in purple, blue, and pink.

In the glow of the campfire, the three-colored pupils shone with an enchanting yet clear light, shining brightly.

At that moment, they seemed to be seeing a scene unlike anything in the mortal world.

This made their very souls tremble.

Su Yu frowned as she saw the crowd that had suddenly appeared staring blankly at her.

"Ok?"

"Cough cough..." Lin Mo was the first to come to his senses, and immediately felt ashamed.

He was already nearing the end of his life, yet he was still deceived. He was truly ashamed!

“Young lady, it is like this. We originally intended to rest for the night in this area, but we suddenly saw a fire here. In order to avoid any misunderstandings or friction, we came to investigate.”

"Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."

"It's nothing." Su Yu shook her head calmly.

However, in a daze, he was slightly startled again.

Wait a minute, he's now the Three-Colored Black Demon, not Mu Qingyi. How could he so easily agree to the question about the young lady?

"......"

boom!

Su Yu's simple reply seemed insignificant to him, but when everyone heard it clearly, it was like a thunderbolt striking the top of their heads, leaving them in shock.

Male, male voice?

who is it? !

Who's speaking? Who fired the shot?!

Could there be some man hiding nearby?

The group looked at Su Yu sitting down, then glanced around uncertainly.

Even Lin Mo wondered if he was getting old and hard of hearing.

"Ahem, young lady... are you here alone?"

Su Yu nodded slightly. "You also want to stay for the night?"

click -

At this moment, Lin Fenghua and the others felt that they had been scammed in a huge scam. He had been cheated out of everything and had lost all his wealth.

He pointed at Su Yu, his fingers trembling.

"You, you, you, you're a man??"

Su Yu frowned, her gaze indifferent.

"What? Do you have a problem with my gender?"

"..."

"I……"

Before Lin Fenghua could answer, Lin Mo immediately reprimanded him sternly.

"Shut up! Don't be rude!"

Lin Fenghua and the others immediately quieted down, but their eyes remained fixed on Su Yu, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Young friend, I apologize. It was a junior member of the clan who was ignorant. Please forgive me."

"It's alright." Su Yu shook her head.

"We do intend to rest for the night in this area, since the chances of monsters ambushing us at dusk are slim," Lin Mo said truthfully.

Su Yu pondered for a moment, "In that case, if you don't mind, let's all join in."

Lin Yan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Great! It's good to be together, it's good to have more people to take care of each other."

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Lin Fenghua spoke up loudly before Lin Mo could reply.

He also pulled Lin Yan to squat down by the campfire.

"......"
