Chapter 6: The Male Lead!

Lin Xiaocha slowly stretched out her two white hands from her clothes and pulled her clothes up to cover her flushed little face. Her pair of apricot eyes looked at the cold man.

"Last night, you were seriously injured. I gave you a bandage to stop your bleeding, but due to excessive bleeding, your body was cold and weak. It was really cold here, and I was afraid you would die, so......"

Having said all of that, her little face scrunched up like a ball and tears rolled in her eyes.

"Men and women should keep their distance." His expression was still cold, and he obviously didn't believe her words.

"In my eyes, human lives are more important than these rules." Her voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful.

If other people say such things after doing this, he probably won't believe them.

But remembering how she saved the life of that mother and child, it was not impossible for such a person to do this kind of reckless thing.

She looked innocent and ignorant, without any slightest fondness for him.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.

But tears still slid down to her ears, and she simply pulled up her clothes to cover her entire face.

The clothes were only that long. She can't covered her feet when she covered her head. Her ten white toes on her exposed little feet were tightly clasped as if she has endless grievances.

Han Yu: ...

He grabbed a piece of clothing and tried to cover her exposed feet. He grabbed something casually and lifted it up, and it was a moon-white dudou.

His face became stiff, he put down the dudou silently and threw it over without caring to look for another piece of clothing. It accurately covered her exposed feet.

Both of them fell silent ......

......

......

This was the first time he ever encountered this kind of deadlocked situation.

Finally, he spoke first, "What do you want?" He could promise anything, as long as he could get it.

She was the first person in the world to get this kind of promise from him.

Unexpectedly, the person seemed unhappy, "I didn't want you to repay me for saving you. I just didn't want to see you die. If it were other people, I would do the same!"

Han Yu: ...

After a long time, it was him who spoke first again, "Put your clothes on."

At this time, the person who buried her face in her clothes pulled the clothes off her head, revealing a pair of eyes that were red like rabbits.

"You turn around, I will separate our clothes."

Last night, to protect themselves against the cold, she put the clothes of both of them on top of their body as quilts, so all their clothes were mixed together.

......

......

Not long afterward, a white slender arm pushed over some cold clothes.

"I haven't worn anything yet, don't turn around yet." Her voice was emotionless but still gentle and polite.

His temple pulsed, and then he pinched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers.

He told himself that he should not have to worry about a little girl who did not know about the consequences.

Looking at his blood-stained clothes, he cast a spell to clear the blood stains on his clothes and then reached into it.

She didn't pull his clothes and followed him closely like yesterday. Instead, she kept a distance of three steps from him, lowered her head, and followed behind him.

Before they left the buried ground, they saw the soldiers and horses outside the miasma.If you are not reading this on puretl. com, then this chapter has been stolen

Lin Xiaocha, who had been three steps away from Han Yu, quietly moved closer to him.

Han Yu noticed that her hand was reaching out to him, but as if she didn't want to touch his sleeves, she quickly pulled her hand back.

He paused for a while and quickly recovered his cold and calm expression. He walked forward without rushing.

Soon, a man and a woman dressed in white coming out of the miasma.

One was cold, aloof and graceful. The other was delicate and petite, with a beautiful appearance.

The two stood together, like a beautiful picture.

The City Lord in the royal carriage snorted coldly. The crown of his hair that was a foot high above his head was trembling with anger.

"You are so courageous!!"

Last night he could see the flames went up from the buried ground through the miasma, so he guessed something happened here.

Now that the offering, Lin Xiaocha, came out unscathed. He knew that something went wrong.

"This City Lord finally reached a consensus with the demons! But you interrupted the sacrifice!"

The system reminded her: [Feng Ziying's favorability for you has dropped to -40. ]

The system said: [Or Host, let's give up this goal. After all, compared with the reward from the male protagonist, 500,000 is nothing. ]

Lin Xiaocha: [Xiaotong, let's not give up so lightly~]

System: [Isn't it a waste of time? ]

Lin Xiaocha did not answer the system.

Han Yu looked at the City Lord blankly, with contempt in his eyes.

Although the City Lord's cultivation base was only at Foundation Building[2] stage, his spirit beast was a black panther named Phantom Thor, given to him by the Empress.

Feng Ziying and Phantom Thor could add up to be equivalent to the Golden Core[3] stage.

Adding to the fact that he was carrying an army, he felt that he should not be afraid of a cultivator in a Core Formation Stage[3].

With a wave of his finger, Phantom Thor was about to rush towards Han Yu. But he found that the opponent...

was missing.

Obviously, he could see him before!

Camouflage?

Feng Ziying could not see his level at all!

This means that Han Yu's cultivation base was higher than the combination of Feng Ziying and his spirit beasts. It was so high that he can fool him.

His sullen face suddenly turned into a flattering smile, as quick as the face change in a Sichuan opera.

Carrying his purple robe and holding his hair crown, he got out of the carriage quickly.

He rushed to pay respect to Han Yu, "Dare to ask this immortal's name?"

Han Yu thought for a moment, and finally his thin lips lightly opened. He said lightly, "Shang Yuan from Tianyu Mountain."

The system suddenly popped out:【The target of the mission has been identified: the male protagonist, Shang Yuan]

[Reward amount: 100,000,000]

[Current Progress: 0%]

Lin Xiaocha desperately counted the "0" behind the "1", and then looked at the man with clean white clothes in front of her.

Her heart was beating and pounding.

Is this the feeling of love?

Feng Ziying suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be the proud disciple of the leader of Tianyu Mountain, Sword Immortal, Shang Yuan."

Shang Yuan is a genius sword cultivator, the leader of the new generation, and his future is immeasurable.

Besides, the Sword Immortal, Shang Yuan is still the apprentice nephew[6] of "that person" to who the empress attaches great importance...

Then he must not neglect him.

The City Lord invited Han Yu into his carriage and ordered General Zuo to take Lin Xiaocha away.

Lin Xiaocha just thanked the City Lord politely and didn't say a word to Han Yu. She didn't even look at him anymore.

Han Yu glanced faintly outside through the tent, just in time to see that petite body was lifted up the horse by a tall military commander.

Lin Xiaocha sat on the horseback. The military commander wrapped her around his arms. He was tall and rugged, which made her even more petite and pitiful.

He looked at them coldly.

Translator Note:

The following are the cultivation base or ranks in this novel, even though it's not too important to the story. Thanks to https://immortalmountain.wordpress.com/glossary/wuxia-xianxia-xuanhuan-terms/

1. Qi Refining - the initial stage of cultivation which involves learning to absorb Qi from the natural world and refining it inside the body.

Note: Qi the spiritual energy which exists in all things. The cultivation of Qi is a major goal in Xianxia novels.

2. Foundation Building– the stage after Qi Refining. Once a cultivator's Qi crosses a certain threshold, they will be able to break through to this stage. This is where the City Lord's cultivation at.

3. Core Formation - the stage after Foundation Building. The goal of this stage is to form a Golden Core by using their Dantian as a container.

Note: Dantian is the region in the body where a person's Qi is concentrated.

If the City Lord and his spirit beast combine their force, their level is at the peak of this stage, a.k.a. as if they had formed a Golden Core.

4. Yuan Ying or the Nascent Soul – the stage after Core Formation. The Nascent Soul resembles a child or mini person and resides in the Dantian, typically sitting in a meditative position. In some novels, the Nascent Soul can travel outside the body and is like a second life for cultivators – if their main body dies, their consciousness can continue to exist in the Nascent Soul.

This is where Han Yu's cultivation level at "allegedly." Is he really here? *cough cough no spoiler*

5. Immortal Ascension – the stage wherein the cultivator becomes an immortal.

Another note:

6. Apprentice Nephew

In cultivation sects, younger disciples often directly apprentice themselves to an elder. The relationship between a Master and an Apprentice is similar to the Parent-and-Child relationship.

A senior/junior brother or sister of someone's Master is referred to as Master Uncle or Master Aunt.

An apprentice of your senior/junior brother or sister is referred to as Apprentice Nephew or Niece.
