Chapter 589: Chapter 269: You Yin Gods, nothing more than fame-seeker_1

Qi Yuan felt quite helpless.

The game hadn’t even started yet, and his character was already dead.

"This Innate Seed is really not up to par, the gaming technology is so poor. I guess it’s only at a bronze level?"

Qi Yuan felt very moved.

The rewards of the last game seemed impressive.

And this is the outcome?

It would have been better if he had taken action himself.

He casually glanced at the game icon, which was about two-thirds loaded.

"By the time I get in at this speed, I fear my corpse will already be decomposed."

Qi Yuan sighed, no longer thinking too much about it, and continued to sit on the stone bench, waiting quietly.

...

Maple Town, a mundane small town, had many maple trees. The maple leaves turned as red as fire, so many wealthy families often came to play in the season.

At this time, Chen Xiyu lifted the carriage curtain with a look of curiosity on her face.

"A strange man in a red robe was seen playing chess in the forest of Beiyelin?"

"Yes, miss , a woodcutter passing by saw him, but the man’s clothing lined up so weirdly that no one dared to approach." the maid replied.

Chen Xiyu’s eyes lit up: "Xiao Xi, you say that man ... could he be the legendary Immortal?"

There had always been rumors of immortals in the mundane world within a radius of thousands of miles.

But Chen Xiyu had never seen an Immortal.

She was interested in strange tales since childhood, and had a special interest in these kinds of affairs.

"Don’t! Miss, what if he is a villain!

Lately, numerous skinning incidents have been happening in the city. It’s best not to go into the deep forests!" maid Xiao Xi hastily advised.

Maple Town has always been unrestful.

Some time ago, skinning incidents occurred again, in a village near Maple Town. Over half of the villagers were skinned in their sleep overnight, blood-drenched, extremely terrifying.

The people in Maple Town and the surrounding cities were all terrified.

After all, in Ming Nation, skinning incidents occurred periodically.

The Monarch once spent a huge price to invite an Immortal Master from tens of thousands of miles away, but it had no effect.

The skinning incidents continued.

Chen Xiyu shook her head, very determined.

"I want to go and see."

Two hours later, accompanied by several guards, Chen Xiyu went to Beiyelin.

The forest was full of bushes, and thorny shrubs were everywhere. Even though the guards cleared the way ahead, several bloody scratches inevitably appeared on Chen Xiyu’s delicate arm.

But, she was still excited and in high spirits.

"Miss, look, over there!"

At this time, maid Xiao Xi pointed to the front, her face full of delighted expression.

Chen Xiyu looked over, eyes filled with curiosity.

In the depth of the forest ahead, a man in a red robe was sitting on a stone bench. His eyes were tightly closed, but according to his outline, one could surmise his handsome appearance.

"I can’t believe there are such handsome men in this world." Chen Xiyu was stunned.

Her originally delicate arm now seemed rough.

"He is definitely not an ordinary person! " Excitement surged within Chen Xiyu.

She desired to seek chances with immortals and find out the culprit behind the skinning incidents.

"Miss, shall we go over and inquire?" Xiao Xi asked.

Chen Xiyu quickly shook her head: "His eyes are closed, perhaps he is busy. We should not disturb him."

Chen Xiyu hesitated a bit and dared only to take a fleeting glance at the man in the blood-red robe.

About an hour passed, the man still sat motionless, occasionally stretching out his finger to drop a black piece on the chess board.

This posture further affirms Chen Xiyu’s belief that the man in the red robe is far from ordinary.

"Let’s go home," Chen Xiyu made up her mind, "this opportunity must be seized."

How could a random immortal bestow her a chance?

She is just an ordinary person, nothing special, not the protagonist of the world.

She wanted to go home, take out all of her gold and precious oddities which accumulated over the years, to offer to the Immortal, hoping for a bit of his favor.

She quickly returned home and took out all of her savings.

However, her actions raised doubts from her family.

Her cousin came upon hearing the news, her tone was uncompromising: "Uncle Two is not in the house, and you are freely giving away the family’s wealth?

Little sister, the world is chaotic, beware of being fooled by the swindler.

Any random rural lad, playing ghosts and gods, and you believe him?"

With her cousin present, Chen Xiyu didn’t explain much, but merely said: "This is my money!"

After saying this, she turned around and left.

The cousin looked at Chen Xiyu’s departing figure, her eyes filled with pity: "Little sis is still too naive, where are there so many immortals in this world?

Even if they are immortals, would they just easily bestow an immortal opportunity?"

Often, more of them take everything, people are wicked, and even more so are the immortals."

In this country, such things happen often. A nobleman meets an immortal, offers him half of his property in exchange for a chance with the immortal.

Unfortunately, most of those immortals take away the property, and the chance... is mostly preposterous.

"I hope that little sis can be more stable after being deceived this time, and not dream all day."

On the other hand, Chen Xiyu, carrying gold and silver treasures as well as various collected oddities, rushed to Beiyelin.

Her heart was full of apprehension and confusion about the future.

She understood what her cousin had said.

However, she didn’t want to give up, neither did she want to live absent-mindedly.

Night fell, Chen Xiyu came again to a place a few tens of meters away from the chess board.
