This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 155: Adventure Quest

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Adventure Quest

The lead constable narrowed his eyes at the newcomer. Who else dares to stop the Mystic Bureau from handling affairs in Qingliang City? Who is this clueless youth?

A man with the appearance of an ordinary scholar caught his eye, wearing a clean yet simple sky-blue robe, the kind that would make him unnoticeable in a crowd. Beside him was a girl in an apricot-yellow dress, bearing a spousal resemblance to him, with a dignified and delicate beauty.

The pair, hand in hand, walked through the crowd and approached the leading constable, greeting him with a nod.

"You..."

"Wait a moment."

A younger constable who wanted to step forward and stop them was stopped by Fú Chí.

Fú Chí narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Liang Yi and his companion, and then came to a sudden realization.

Liang Yi’s disguise was only meant to fool the persistent players; it was normal for others to see through it.

"It turns out to be..."

Just as Fú Chí was about to reveal Liang Yi’s identity, the man before him gently shook his head, signaling him to keep quiet.

"I am Fú Chí, may I know what instructions you have, sir?"

Given Liang Yi’s status, Fú Chí’s address of ’sir’ was not at all inappropriate. Although Liang Yi did not hold any official position in the Immortal Dynasty of Xuanzhou, being a Banished Immortal was already enough. What’s more, it was heard that after the mishap in the Secret Realm during the recent competition, the two senior disciples from the Taoist Sect had contributed the most, so they were specially ordered to show respect to these two.

"I just witnessed the entire incident and feel that this Abnormal Person’s crime is not so severe; it was an unintentional mistake, and he’s not to blame."

Liang Yi briefly explained, hoping to protect this player from the Immortal Dynasty’s hand.

"This..."

Fú Chí hesitated. If it were any other time, whatever this person said would be it. But now, it involved the Grand Ancestor, making it difficult for him.

"How about we directly ask this senior, then?"

Liang Yi noticed Fú Chí’s difficulty and did not insist, suggesting another approach instead.

"Directly ask Elder Qing?"

Fú Chí looked troubled for a moment, then decided it was a feasible solution—if the fish involved didn’t mind, then he would have an answer to give.

Liang Yi then pointed a finger and roused the feigning sleep of the Qingliang worry-free fish.

"Who dares awaken me!"

A hoary voice resounded in everyone’s hearts, coming from the large fish within the water.

He Chumian was covered in goosebumps, feeling absolutely chilled to the bone.

"Did he just embrace a centurion?"

Who would lend him a pair of hands that had never touched this fish and ears that had never heard this voice!!

"May I ask Elder Qing to briefly explain the situation that just transpired?" Liang Yi expressed his respect for the elderly in a timely manner. Regarding the level of all "???", how could it compare to the virtue of respecting the elderly?

"Oh, just now..." Elder Qing wore a mysterious and profound expression, and though he was a fish, his lifelike behavior made everyone unconsciously picture an old man with a white beard stroking his beard.

Su Youyi almost couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of this, fortunately retreating her face into her senior brother’s arm just in time.

"Just now, it was I, erm..." Elder Qing, although having lived for an extremely long time, this was the first time he encountered such an awkward situation and couldn’t think of any suitable pretext in his haste.

He certainly couldn’t say he just wanted to taste the ordinary bait out of gluttony, or he might as well bash his head in.

"So that’s it, Elder Qing thinks this Abnormal Person is naturally intelligent and wanted to test his character and pass on a Cultivation Technique?"

Liang Yi pretended to suddenly understand and said with a smile.

"Eh, right! That’s it!" Elder Qing took the step Liang Yi gave him, looking kindly at He Chumian.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for completing the adventure quest [Elder Qing’s Gift]!"

He Chumian’s emotions at this moment were a roller coaster of peaks and troughs, extremely thrilling.

He thought it was his lucky day, which nearly turned into a cursed one. He believed he was a goner, but then it turned into an adventure quest.

"I see this youngster has an extraordinary talent; it reminds me of an episode from my past, so I wanted to grant him a bit of fortune. Yet, I feared he might not be a person of proper conduct, thus I set up a test to see."

"Never expected that under threats and temptations, this lad remained unmoved and protected me resolutely, which brings me great comfort."

As expected from someone who has lived for who knows how many years, Liang Yi had barely started, and Elder Qing was already spinning a bunch of tales smoothly.

"So that’s how it was. It seems that the junior has disturbed Elder Qing’s training."

Fu Chi showed a look of guilt, not having perceived the hidden truth and nearly disrupted Elder Qing’s painstaking efforts.

"No matter, no matter! Elder Qing already has a clear understanding of the outcome."

At this point, Elder Qing has completely indulged in his role, exuding an air of grandeur.

"I see this youngster is not bad; he is vaguely on the verge of stepping onto the path of cultivation. In that case, I’ll help you out and impart to you the ’Qiu Huang Su Sha Decision’."

He Chumian, due to a stroke of good luck, had a string of quests and had already reached the level cap of 10 for the internal test, and the experience was locked.

All level 10 players were fretting about where to get cultivation techniques, as the low-quality ones were not appealing, and the high-quality ones were out of reach.

He Chumian was quite laid back, knowing that as an independent player like him, he couldn’t compete for good skills, so he just planned to raise his secondary profession level first. Little did he know he would encounter so many events.

Elder Qing extended a whisker, and an orange-yellow ball of light emerged, directly touching He Chumian’s forehead.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for learning the skill ’Qiu Huang Su Sha Decision’ (Incomplete)!"

The surrounding players were all green with envy; why couldn’t such good fortune fall upon them?

Whatever pressure and temptation they faced, if you let me hold a fish of golden quality, I’d certainly pay more attention to it than to a girlfriend!

He Chumian grinned widely and, overcome with excitement, threw a set of the 10086th broadcast calisthenics into the air.

This ’Qiu Huang Su Sha Decision’ turned out to be a Fourth Grade orange skill!

Even Liang Yi was a bit surprised; He Chumian was indeed lucky, as even within Super Forces, one would need a substantial amount of Contribution Value to trade for an orange skill.

Furthermore, most importantly, having acquired the skill allows one to cultivate mana and officially step onto the path of cultivation, leaving behind the mortal form.

In other words, players could become even more insane, with greater destructive power.

Even Fu Chi and the other members of the Mystic Bureau felt a bit uneasy, as the cultivation technique they learned at the beginning of their journey was merely a Sixth Grade Cultivation Method, and yet this Abnormal Person was able to directly learn a Fourth Grade Cultivation Technique.

"We cannot let such a talent go to waste; we must recruit him to the Mystic Bureau!" Fu Chi looked at the excited He Chumian and made a firm decision to bring him back to the Mystic Bureau, even if he had to tie him up.

Having taken a skill from Immortal Dynasty, you must be prepared to make contributions to Immortal Dynasty!

"Tha... thank you, senior!"

He Chumian mimicked an NPC’s posture and gave a bow to the giant fish in front of him.

"Hmm, work hard, and do not disgrace the reputation of this skill!"

"This is only the first three layers; when you hit a bottleneck later, come to me again, I have more to entrust to you!"

Elder Qing nodded satisfactorily; after all, what’s a Fourth Grade Cultivation Technique compared to his own face?

"Ding!"

A system notification rang out. He Chumian realized this was a chain quest, and the final reward was the complete ’Qiu Huang Su Sha Decision’.
