Looking at the sultry dance figure vaguely reflected in the mist, Wang Liang's consciousness couldn't help but fall into a trance.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful for being careless. He didn't expect that he would still fall into the trap even though he was already in the middle stage of Qi Sea Realm.
In a daze, he couldn't help but think to himself;
‘I really shouldn’t have been fooled by that trouble-making system…’
'When I decided to stay in Taikang County, it was really not what I wanted. The system tempted me with rewards.'
‘After the bun shop owner mentioned the Hundred Flowers Conference yesterday, the system has been thinking about it.’
'After I release those spirit beasts and pass by Taikang County, the system will seduce me with the materials needed for the next stage of the Nine Heaven Sword's upgrade.'
"Let me stay in Taikang County and go see the Hundred Flowers Conference."
'But I am devoted to the Tao and I am strong-willed, so how can I be greedy for beauty?'
'At that time I thought, don't go, it would appear that I am not giving the system face.'
'But go ahead, it looks like I've given in again.'
‘As strong as me, huh…’
'So after the system added some more rewards, I reluctantly agreed to take a look at the Hundred Flowers Conference.'
'As for after the Hundred Flowers Conference, I relied on my personal charm and status as a cultivator to get the opportunity to have in-depth communication with the oiran girl Xiaoqing...'
'Yes, I didn't refuse, but I also took advantage of the in-depth communication with Miss Xiao Qing to find out something about the cat ears... the banshee.'
'Don't get me wrong, I am seeking information about the cat-eared banshee to help justice.'
'Find out what kind of monster that cat-eared girl is, and prevent her from harming others. This is definitely not based on a wish I had in my previous life. Really...'
'The fact is that with my unremitting efforts, Miss Xiaoqing is very satisfied with my performance...'
'Ahem, I crossed out the entire sentence above because Miss Xiao Qing was moved by my sincerity in supporting justice and told me many rumors about the cat-eared banshee.'
'It's just that when Miss Xiao Qing talks about the cat-eared banshee, she always grits her teeth, as if she has some deep hatred for her.'
'And he described the cat-eared succubus as particularly evil, ugly, and terrifying, which is completely different from what the young man said before.'
'Finally, Miss Xiao Qing begged me pitifully not to go looking for the cat-eared succubus.'
'Facing Miss Xiao Qing, who is so cute when she is angry and gnashes her teeth, I naturally have to agree to her.'
'But the next day, I decided to go with the fleet to have a look.'
'It's not that I've let Miss Xiaoqing down, nor that I have any attachment to the cat-eared girl. I just can't bear the danger of the literati on the ship.'
'Sure enough, as I expected, those ships were in danger and suddenly disappeared one after another after arriving at a certain place.'
'When I realized that something was wrong, I wanted to avoid its sharp edge, go back and think of some solutions, find some help, and then come back to save those literati.'
'Look, how good, how reasonable, and how appropriate my idea is.'
'But it's because the system tempted me with rewards. I ignored him and he kept adding rewards. My good thoughts were interrupted by him.'
'This is why we travel to Tiger Mountain even though we know that there are tigers in the mountains.'
'So... the system is in this situation now, you'd better have some ideas and figure out what to do.'
[…Ding! It has been detected that the host’s inner activities are very rich, and he has become proficient in the art of scapegoating. I would like to give you some tips, use your big stick.]
Seeing the prompts given by the system, Wang Liang's eyes, which were so confused that they were about to close, suddenly opened their eyes.
"Big stick?"
As he spoke, Wang Liang lowered his head and looked at his...
[Ding! What is the host looking at? I’m talking about the Lingyang Rod!]
Wang Liang suddenly realized: 'It turns out that the big stick refers to the Lingyang stick.'
'Yes, when I was dealing with Shui Ling a few days ago, it was because I had the Lingyang Rod in my hand that I was immune to mental spell attacks.'
'This situation is similar to spiritual magic. Why didn't I notice it earlier?'
[…That’s not because the host is too fascinated to watch the cat-eared girl dancing.]
Wang Liang: "How could it be? I really forgot. Hey, don't spit on others. Be careful, I will sue you for slander."
While talking, Wang Liang took out the Lingyang Rod.
With the big stick in hand, I have the world!
boom--!
The moment he took the Lingyang Rod into his hands, a powerful energy filled Wang Liang's body, and his previously dazed consciousness suddenly woke up.
"Disperse!"
The stick was swung out and there was a roar.
The surrounding fog dispersed, and the shadowy figure of the cat-eared girl in front of her, dancing vigorously, also disappeared.
"It's really a mental spell, it's all an illusion..." Wang Liang murmured and looked around.
I saw that this was indeed the source of the stream, and there was indeed a mountain, right on the mountainside.
But there are no peach fields around, let alone fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboo forests.
In some areas, there is just a piece of wasteland and a lonely, dilapidated wooden house.
But what's interesting at this time is that around that house, the literati who came by boat before are gathered there.
Their eyes were dull and their actions were strange.
Some were holding on to the walls of the wooden house and rushing wildly, while some were leaning on the ground, showing off their waist strength...
In short, those actions were extremely indecent, Wang Liang was shocked;
"Fortunately, I came out of the hallucination, otherwise I can't imagine whether I would be like them now..."
The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who broke the news about the cat-eared girl at the Hundred Flowers Conference yesterday was also among a group of literati.
But he couldn't see other people around him. In his eyes, he could only see Miss Xiao, the cat-eared girl, standing gracefully in front of him after a dance.
Miss Xiao confided to him how much she admired his poetic talent and how much she missed him these days when she couldn't see him.
This situation made the young man with thick eyebrows become inspired by poetry again, but just as he was about to recite a poem, Miss Xiao stretched out her green and jade fingers to block his mouth.
Then I saw Miss Xiao untying the silk waistband.
The skirts and small clothes were removed one by one...
The thick-browed young man's eyes widened; "Xiao, Miss Xiao, don't be like this, I'm not that kind of person."
"Miss Xiao, let's go to the wall..."
The situation of other people is similar to his. They are all immersed in hallucinations and can only see the cat-eared girl that does not exist.
They think they are doing double sports, but they are actually doing single sports.
No, looking at it as a whole, they should be doing separate "multiplayer sports".
Wang Liang was a little confused when he looked at these literati and elegant scholars who were working hard and looking intoxicated.
Should we disturb their "good dreams"?
If you wake them up at this time, you may not only not get a good response, but you may also be blamed.
But if they were allowed to continue, they would worry about dangers that might happen around them at any time.
At this moment, the intense movements of a few of the literati suddenly froze, as if time had stopped.
After a few breaths, they fell straight to the ground with sighs of contentment.
Seeing this scene, Wang Liang's eyes widened even more;
"Isn't it? Is this possible? And...it's too fast, it won't even take half an hour."
Wang Liang was still surprised when he suddenly noticed.
The bodies of the few literati who fell to the ground in satisfaction quickly shriveled up and turned into mummies after a while.
"It's broken! Something took advantage of their energy to leak out and sucked their yang energy. We must wake up the others quickly!"
Wang Liang, who realized the problem, no longer hesitated and rushed forward with a big stick, hitting those who were still intoxicated with moderate blows.
Without exception, those who were beaten up woke up and the first thing they said when they got up was curses.
But when they saw their surroundings clearly, the cursing suddenly stopped, followed by confusion, confusion, and a bit of confusion.
"What, what's going on?"
"Where's Miss Xiao? Where did Miss Xiao go?"
"Ah! Why are there mummies here? What happened?"
Those who woke up finally panicked after noticing several mummies around them.
After Wang Liang woke everyone up with a big stick, he told them the matter in the most concise and quick way.
When the literati learned that everything that had just happened between them and "Miss Xiao" was an illusion, their first reaction was not shame, but disbelief.
Because the illusion was so real, and another thing was that they couldn't imagine that they were doing that kind of movement against the wall, the ground, and the air just now.
But there was a cultivator standing there holding a sword, so they had to believe it.
As well as the mummies around me, when I think about how I almost ended up like that, regret and shame come over me like a tidal wave.
Some of them are thin-skinned and want to roll on the floor in shame.
However, without giving them too much time to digest, a dark wind suddenly blew.
The stronger ones were fine, but a few thin ones were swept away by the cold wind and disappeared without a trace, screaming.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Liang threw out dozens of talismans and formation stones.
The talismans were attached to the bodies of the literati, allowing them to temporarily resist the evil wind.
The formation stones were arranged around the dilapidated wooden house, instantly forming a formation, turning it into the only shelter in the dark wind.
After doing this, Wang Liangyun was so angry that he shouted: "Anyone who doesn't want to die should quickly enter the house!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, in the dilapidated house, the newly rescued literati and elegant people were pale and trembling.
After such an experience, no matter whether it was fair or sanctimonious when setting off, the momentum of "hanging sails directly on the clouds and sailing across the sea" was gone.
Wang Liang held the Lingyang stick in his hand and stood by the only window in the room, looking at the raging wind outside and feeling a little headache.
Judging from the current situation, if I don't go out and find the person who released Yin Feng (80% chance it is the cat-eared girl), and have a real fight with her, I'm afraid I will be trapped here forever.
But from the beginning to now, I haven't even seen the other party's true body, and I can't find out her depth at all.
Looking around at the literati, Wang Liang sighed; 'None of them can be counted on...'
Then he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Let's do this. I'll go out to explore the road first. You guys stay here and don't move around."
The door opened with a creak, and the thick-browed young man sent Wang Liang out, waving his hand: "Master Immortal, take care."
Wang Liang looked back; "How about... you go with me? After all, you and Miss Xiao are old acquaintances. Didn't you say that Miss Xiao was fascinated by your poetic talent?"
"When we meet Miss Xiao, if she takes action against us, you will charm her again with your poems."
The young man with thick eyebrows was stunned for a moment, then put his hands on his ears and shouted at the top of his lungs;
"Ah? What? It's windy here. What did the Immortal Master just say? I can't hear you clearly... Oh, the Immortal Master said to close the door? Okay, I won't open the door even if I beat you to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the door shut instantly.
"..." Wang Liang looked at the closed door, was silent for a while, and said to himself, 'Gan!'
