Before his transmigration, Xun Wu You had tried his best to live an ordinary life, but to no avail. Now that he had transmigrated, he wanted to be free and unrestrained, and he had no interest in any grand schemes to save the world.
Apart from the system's mandatory tasks, he wouldn't bother anyone else. He would simply live his life on his own terms.
If he saw someone in need, he would lend a helping hand. If he saw someone worthy, he would befriend them.
Given the chance, Xun Wu You even wanted to lose his virginity, but that seemed unlikely, because female characters in Pili Puppet Show were rarer than pandas.
Especially in the Xian Mo series, female characters were practically non-existent.
Lost in his thoughts, Xun Wu You had traversed two mountains, passed through a misty forest, and walked for over two hours before reaching an abandoned village.
The villagers had mostly migrated to seek refuge. Some had gone north, while others sought shelter under the protection of powerful sects. They would not return to their homes until the Blood Dark Crystal Tower was destroyed.
Some had even fled Zhongyuan, settling in the Southern and Northern Territories. They preferred to leave their homes and endure hardship rather than stay in the troubled Central Plains, living in fear.
The world was cruel, it was true. But it was all because of the damn twisted screenwriter.
Xun Wu You had estimated that the countless powerful beings who had descended upon the Central Plains had killed billions of people. Those who remained were truly dedicated.
The deserted town echoed with the mournful howls of stray dogs, a somber sound in the darkness.
Xun Wu You found a quiet spot and pondered.
This was Pili Puppet Show, after all. Calamities and misfortunes were endless. Every disaster was either world-shattering or earth-splitting.
The bosses just kept coming, one after another, without giving anyone a moment to recover.
It was almost as if they had agreed to a plan: You take me out, I take him out. There was never any peace.
It was no wonder Le Xun Yuan mocked himself as a dog in this chaotic world.
As he pondered, a powerful gust of wind swept across the sky.
Two figures, swift as shadows, streaked through the air. The air crackled with restless energy.
Xun Wu You raised an eyebrow and looked towards the man who had landed on the roof.
He wore golden armor, his bearing imposing.
Yu Liang Huang?
Why was he here?
Xun Wu You wouldn't have been surprised to see anyone else, but Yu Liang Huang should have been in the Blood Dark Realm.
He had also taken a heavy blow from him, and he wouldn't be able to walk for two months.
As Xun Wu You pondered, a sudden realization dawned on him.
There were two Yu Liang Huangs: a doppelganger and the real one.
The doppelganger was a puppet controlled by the real Yu Liang Huang, a tool for deception. The real Yu Liang Huang was lurking in the shadows, engaging in deceitful activities.
He then looked at the other figure. Her features were delicate, her eyes like water, and her gaze as vast as the autumn sky, like a fairy under the moon. Her exquisite face was enough to shame the flowers, and her graceful figure was tempting. Yet, her aura was imbued with a heroic spirit. She held a sword in her left hand and a spear in her right.
Hong Chen Xue?
Xun Wu You blinked. This woman was gifted and learned, a rare female character possessing both literary and martial prowess. She was skilled in the Left Single Edge Sword Technique, known as the Sword Fairy.
Her movements were as fleeting as a startled bird, graceful as a swimming dragon, perfectly embodying the eight characters used to describe her swordsmanship.
She was also one of the top five spear masters. The pale blue spear that emanated a faint light in her hand must be the Imperial Edict!
Xun Wu You searched his memory for any information about Hong Chen Xue.
He couldn't blame himself for not remembering her clearly. The Xian Mo Ao Feng series had only two or three main bosses, but countless side stories.
The top five spear masters were part of the side stories. They were called the top five, but the name was an exaggeration.
Yu Liang Huang and Hong Chen Xue were among the five, but their highest cultivation was only at the seventh level of Innate.
After Xian Mo Ao Feng, they lost their new-character aura and were relegated to minor roles.
Just when he was lamenting the scarcity of female characters in Pili, he had encountered a top beauty.
"Yu Liang Huang! What do you want?"
Hong Chen Xue's voice was clear and melodious. She swung the Imperial Edict, creating a ripple of energy in front of her.
"Long time no see. How have you been, Chen Xue?"
Yu Liang Huang seemed to sense no hostility from Hong Chen Xue.
He continued with a playful tone: "After all, we are old acquaintances. Why the hostility? And besides... With the Imperial Edict and Left Single Edge in your hands, you are no match for me. You…"
"Shut up!"
Hong Chen Xue's anger flared. In a cold, distant voice, she said: "The grudge against the Tian Shu Family will be avenged by Lone Star Tears. Stop blocking my way and get out!"
"Lone Star Tears?"
Yu Liang Huang sneered: "How long can that bastard live? He'll die in my hands sooner or later."
The top five spear masters were: Yu Liang Huang, Lone Star Tears, Hong Chen Xue, the Apprentice, and the Evil Emperor!
