The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The white light where the sea meets the sky expanded continuously until it became an entrance large enough for one person to pass through.

That should be the passage leading to the second floor.

Unfortunately, Yun Yici was being watched by Mu Yunjian and could not move forward for the time being.

She hadn't forgotten the trick Mu Yunjian had used to sow discord between Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan before the trial began.

Fortunately, he didn't know that she knew his true identity.

Moreover, with the sect leader and other disciples watching outside the tower and the peak master supervising their behavior inside, it seems that even if Mu Yunjian is angry, he can't do anything about it.

As soon as Yun Yici thought about it, her tense expression immediately relaxed.

After all, the more afraid you are, the easier it is for others to see through you.

She smiled at Mu Yunjian and said in a friendly manner, "Senior Brother Mu, what a coincidence! Would you like to come along?"

Each level of this Buddha-Demon Tower has twelve intersecting sides, and disciples land randomly on each level they ascend.

After passing through the passage to the second level, there was only a one in twelve chance that she would encounter Mu Yunjian again.

The woman, backlit by the soft light, had her features softened by the light. Her smile was gentle, and her beauty was unparalleled. Mu Yunjian was so stunned that he stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

Apart from his deceased mother, no woman had ever shown him such tenderness.

System: "Mu Yunjian's favorability +20, current favorability 30!! Host's luck value is 20 points!!"

Yun Yici: Huh? ? ?

So, just smiling at him can increase my favorability rating by this much?

If she had known this would happen, she would have smiled at him every day.

Yun Yici somehow triggered Mu Yunjian's favorability switch, and while she was still hesitating whether to continue posing, her smiling face was stiff.

Mu Yunjian had come to his senses by then. He turned his head sharply and began to wonder if he had gone mad. He was actually staring at this woman who slept in such a terrible way.

The system's merciless announcement came immediately: "Mu Yunjian's favorability -5, current favorability is 25. Cough cough, host's luck value -1, currently 19."

No way, are you kidding me?!

Yun Yici's smile vanished instantly: "Senior Brother Mu, I'll be going now."

Her voice brought him back to his attention.

Mu Yunjian awkwardly turned his head, quickly walked to Yun Yici's side, and grabbed her wrist: "The first person to clear each level has a privilege, which is to choose a fellow disciple to bind to the same level in the next level."

Yun Yici lowered her head with a blank expression, looking at his fair fingers tightly gripping her wrist. "What does Senior Brother mean?"

After regaining her senses, Mu Yunjian's cheerful voice rang out: "Let's go together."

Yes, that's his real purpose in participating in this disciple selection.

It wasn't about winning the championship or Shen Huaichuan's sword.

He simply wanted to take advantage of the disciple selection opportunity to avenge the bullying he suffered at the hands of Yun Yici some time ago, as well as the threat that he would be turned into spicy rabbit heads.

So even though he had already passed the first level, he still wanted to wait for Yun Yici here.

Yun Yici had no idea how she got to the second level.

She was still groggy when she thought, "Oh no, this means she and Mu Yunjian will have to go through the second level together."

If Mu Yunjian gets to the second level first, he'll bind me to the third level too...

Then the third and fourth floors...

The moment Yun Yici's vision returned, she saw a wild boar's head with a protruding nose, a crooked mouth, and tusks on both sides rushing towards her while drooling and howling!

I'll knock!

What the hell is this? !

At the same time, the dog-like man who had been holding onto her quickly let go of her hand and stepped aside.

However, his actions conveniently lifted Yun Yici's movement restrictions.

Without a second thought, she swung her sword, but the simple wind blade couldn't do any damage to the wild boar's rough hide. It was instantly neutralized into a small whirlwind and disappeared without a trace the moment it touched the boar.

The wild boar was extremely fast, and its sharp tusks blocked Yun Yici's sword with a clang.

The two were locked in a stalemate, with the stench from the wild boar making Yun Yici dizzy. She was frantically trying to recall the information she had read about spirit beasts.

This guy that looks like a wild boar has a super badass name: Wind Chaser Pig.

That's right, it's a wind-type like her, so it can neutralize all ordinary wind-type attacks. This also means that its magic attacks are basically ineffective against her, and she can only rely on melee combat.

It seems this is the second trial.

The weak points of the Wind Chaser Pig are its forehead, neck, and rump.

Yun Yici met the greedy, green eyes of the Wind Chaser Boar and knew that with those tusks as sharp as a spirit sword, she could forget about getting her hands on the boar's forehead for the time being.

That leaves only the neck and buttocks.

With a quick change of heart, she retreated rapidly, switching from offense to defense and beginning her escape.

Yun Yici hadn't forgotten that Mu Yunjian had come with her.

Mu Yunjian is a demon cultivator, and his bloodline naturally suppresses demon beasts. The fact that this Wind-Chasing Pig is so rampant shows that Mu Yunjian has no intention of taking action and is even deliberately standing by.

Yun Yici's eyes flickered. It wouldn't be difficult for her to deal with this Wind Chaser Pig on her own. The challenge was preventing Mu Yunjian from taking the opportunity to steal it away.

Yes, she had to get through the second level before Mu Yunjian to prevent him from forcibly binding her again.

Yun Yici ran while thinking.

Actually, with the wind's help, she wasn't running slow, but the one chasing her suddenly accelerated.

It even sprouted two transparent wings from its thick back with the help of the wind. When the wings opened, it would glide forward for a while, chasing the girl in white in a very embarrassing manner.

Seeing that Yun Yici was about to be caught by the pig, Mu Yunjian narrowed his eyes.

System: "Mu Yunjian's favorability +5, currently at 30; Host's luck value +1, currently at 20 points."

Yun Yici: Huh?? What kind of twisted sense of humor is this?

It's impossible for a pig to nuzzle your rear end!!

Even if she jumped off this cliff today, and Mu Yunjian gave her a full 100 points of goodwill, she would never obediently accept her fate of being groped by a pig!

Yun Yici identified the direction of Mu Yunjian, then suddenly turned around and charged towards him with the menacing flying wild boars behind him.

The man and the pig moved extremely fast. Mu Yunjian snorted coldly and grabbed Yun Yici, who was trying to hide behind him.

The woman's soft sleeves vanished into nothingness the moment they touched her.

Mu Yunjian's expression changed drastically. When he looked up, he met the face of the Wind Chaser Pig chasing after the girl.

He reacted extremely quickly, drawing his sword to chop the pig in half.

But a sword behind him was faster, its blade like lightning, piercing straight through the center of the Wind Chaser Pig's forehead the instant he swung it.

The wind-chasing pig, taller than a person, cried out and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Mu Yunjian didn't turn around. A girl's clear voice came from behind him: "Thank you for your kind words, senior brother. But let's separate on the third floor."

His face was cold and hard. He had clearly been watching her being chased by the Wind-Chasing Pig the whole time, so when exactly did she get behind him?
