Wei Xun: “I like men.”

Xiaocui was stunned. Master’s words automatically translated to “I like males” when she heard it.

But, she couldn’t become a male in her life.

How could she win more affection from her owner?

Xiaocui was lost in thought and didn’t utter a sound. However, Wei Xun didn’t care. Most of his attention was on the side scenic spot task. The previous two prompts for the side scenic spot task were inseparable from the descendant of the eagle flutist, but now the descendant of the eagle flutist was not there, and the side scenic spot task had progressed.

[The land I received for my dowry is the Silver Palace of Garuda Valley

Others say that the territory is broad

From the outside, it looks like a steep cliff

It’s a golden gem on the inside

That unfolds before me]

This was a statement left by Songtsen Gampo’s sister, who had married the last king of Xiangxiong Kingdom, becoming his princess consort.

[It is said that after the Tuoba annexed the kingdom of Xiangxiong, they searched up and down the Silver Palace of Garuda Valley, but did not find the treasure storehouse of the legendary king of Xiangxiong. It is said that there is a nine-story 卍 carved from the world’s largest natural crystal stone hidden there]

[The first layer is full of agate, the second layer is full of pearls, the third layer is full of ivory, the fourth layer is full of gold and carnelian… The crown made from Garuda horn is placed at the top of the pagoda, guarded by the most devout believers of the Bon religion. It has powerful energy and can bless the Kingdom of Xiangxiong for hundreds of thousands of years]

[Your esteemed self has triggered the branch scenic spot: The nine-story crystal tower, the total progress of the branch scenic spot is 40%]

“Bless the Xiangxiong Kingdom for hundreds of thousands of years?”

Wei Xun let out a “tsk” and said, “But the Xiangxiong Kingdom has long since perished.”

Was it because the protection of the crystal tower was useless, or was it due to the interference of other factors? After all, the nine-story 卍 tower made Wei Xun think of the Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring who was marked by a 卍 on the map made of the gusin’s skin, under Xikang Temple.

If the nine-story 卍 crystal tower was really in Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring, then its function was probably not to bless the Xiangxiong Kingdom, but to suppress evil.

After all, the human skin thangka that was possessed by demons was also suppressed in Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring.

“I thought the next attraction would be Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring.”

After all, the Dragon God Waterway, which was already considered to be beneath Xikang Temple, had been explored and so the building on the other side of the lake was likely to be Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring.

“I didn’t expect it to be a crystal tower.”

Wei Xun knew that until now, the Travel Services had never mentioned anything about the human skin possessed by the demon. He was already in front of Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring, but the branch task he received was actually “considered successful if he saw the crystal tower,” which obviously prevented Wei Xun from coming into contact with more mysterious and dangerous things.

For tourists, they would be considered successful if they were able to reach here. After all, the difficulty of the tour was only to this extent.

But Wei Xun was not happy!

Since he’d already made his way here, how could he leave without seeing what the devil looked like?

This definitely couldn’t happen.

“I’m a little hungry,” Wei Xun said slowly.

He simply sat down on the stone steps, took out a box of canned braised pork and a few compressed biscuits, a bottle of water, and an orange from his backpack, as if he was going to have a picnic on the spot.

In front of him was the underground lake and the legendary Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring which stored countless treasures, but he refused to go any further. At this time, Wei Xun turned on a small flashlight, illuminating the pile of food in front of him. If he had to comment, he would say that if there was no light, the food wouldn’t be delicious since he was eating in the dark.

The audience in the livestream room watching this was stunned.

[No, is he even considered a man? How can he endure this??]

[Do ordinary people bring so much food to explore the ruins? Didn’t Wei Xun say that he was only simply exploring the ruins? Is this considered a simple exploration? Goodness, this dude is so prepared that he can celebrate Chinese New Year in the ruins!]

[Treasure: Lord, come and play with me!]

[Lord: No, the rice is more fragrant than you]

[The treasure burst into tears!]

[Damn, it’s three or four o’clock in the morning now. I’m so hungry while watching this livestream…]

[Me too……]

[It’s fine if the screen is constantly black. Why did he turn on the flashlight now? Is it because he can’t afford to continue “playing” with us?!]

[Wei Xun likes men]

[……]

Suddenly, the sentence “Wei Xun likes men” floated across the commentary barrage in the livestream room, and the comments that had been discussing normally were inexplicably quiet.

After Wei Xun left the insect nest, he would occasionally talk to himself on the road. First, he would leave time stamps for himself. After all, when the tour was over, he would buy the vlog to watch as a summarized tour vlog. Even if Wei Xun had personally experienced the tour, he couldn’t confirm “what was I doing in the darkness” during the few hours of pitch black silence.

Therefore, he would say from time to time, “The murals are beautiful,” “nine-story crystal tower,” “human skin,” and so on, so that they could act as a time stamp. Wei Xun could easily recall whether he was in “the passageway” or the “entrance to Little Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring.”

Of course, Wei Xun did not deny that he was a little wicked and had evil intentions. When he had obtained the title of [Demonic Insect Dominator] before, the Travel Services reminded him of the issue related to his title.

When it came to title-related issues, the Travel Services prevented outside audiences from using special means to probe. In addition, Wei Xun himself was in an absolutely dark environment, and the audience outside could not see what was happening inside with the naked eye, so Wei Xun became increasingly reckless.

However, the Travel Services had sent him a reminder at that time mainly because the titles Wei Xun could currently equip were full.

[Your esteemed self is equipped with the green title “Tourist”; the dark blue title “Demonic Insect Dominator”; the blue title “A Wild Beast’s Psyche”; the green title “Archaeologist”; the green title “Strong Toxin Resistance.” Your title column is full!]

One could only equip five titles at most. Wei Xun had removed the title of “Strong Resentment Resistance” and equipped “Demonic Insect Dominator.” He actually discovered the benefits of being a part-time tourist and a tour guide. These five title columns were available for “Silver-rank” tour guides, while normal novice travelers could only equip two titles at most.

But five was not enough.

In consideration of the subsequent parts of the tour, Wei Xun replaced “Strong Toxin Resistance” with “Strong Resentment Resistance.” He had the insect swarms and the mother of the swarm with him, so poison was not the biggest threat to Wei Xun. Resentment was harder to defend against.

Wei Xun sighed in his heart. On the surface, he went too far to eat in the ruins at three or four in the morning. In fact, Wei Xun secretly released the young fox to explore the other side of the lake. Before the box of canned braised pork was eaten, the young fox had almost finished exploring. As Wei Xun expected, he found that the building on the other side of the lake was full of broken walls and debris, and gravel blocked the way to the deeper part.

It actually found a side hall. The walls were full of murals, and the most conspicuous one was a nine-story 卍 crystal tower. These murals were half-carved and half-painted on the walls. The tower was inlaid with rare treasures such as luminous pearls, agate, and ivory, and it was decorated with pure gold.

However, this discovery made Wei Xun feel even more depressed.

Yes, the branch scenic spot, the nine-story crystal tower that the task for opening up a branch scenic spot referred to was not a real tower, and was probably a mural. The difficulty level had not been unlocked, and Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring was not a place he could investigate.

Therefore, it would indeed be useful to bring the dog down.

Wei Xun ordered the young fox to return, opened another box of canned braised pork, and secretly summoned Dog IV-1.

It was still necessary to unlock the difficulty to explore more deeply. Wei Xun was also curious, how could this difficulty be unlocked? Would there be another earthquake that would shake the gravel away and create a road leading to Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring’s ruins? Or would countless mummies riot, violently drill out a pathway?

Wei Xun was really looking forward to it.

‘Master, does your esteemed self like Xiaocui’s current appearance?’

Wei Xun was eating canned braised pork inattentively when he suddenly heard Xiaocui speak coquettishly and shyly. However, its voice had changed. It was previously a purely loli voice, but it was now a more androgynous voice.

With a snap, Wei Xun turned off the flashlight and looked back.

He saw the little forest elf lolita sitting on his shoulders, but her long green curly hair had turned into short hair, and her green wing tips were a cooler blue-green. The Bud-like tutu skirt turned into a short-sleeved top and pumpkin shorts. She tilted her head and showed a sweet smile at Wei Xun, and her elf-like pointed ears trembled slightly, appearing very cute.

Wasn’t this Xiaocui’s mental projection!

Xiaocui figured it out. Although she can’t change her gender, the appearance of her mental projection could be changed after spending a little energy. Master said that he liked males, so she would appear more masculine so Master would look at her.

Only when Master loved her, trusted her, and gave her more energy could she breed more eggs as quickly as possible, expand the swarm, and strengthen herself. In particular, Xiaocui vaguely sensed that there was something very important to her on the opposite side of the underground lake.

Obtain, I must obtain it. Xiaocui’s instincts were clamoring and urging her, so she tried her best to please her master, hoping that her master would take action and reward her with whatever was on the other side of the lake.

Who didn’t love a little pretty elf shota!

In particular, Xiaocui came up with a plan, and transformed her face into one somewhat similar to Wei Xun, but even younger and cute. She appeared like an elfish mini version of Xunxun.

Babies, especially those with similar appearances and “blood ties,” could always gain the pity and favor of humans. This was the natural characteristic of all species!

However, Wei Xun only glanced at Xiaocui casually, then glanced at the black stone statue on the other side of the lake, as if he was implying something. Then, he said, “No, I prefer non-humans.”

Xiaocui: ???

The green-haired little shota’s gloomy expression at the moment looked similar to if it had eaten Dog IV-1 raw.

The expressions of the audience outside the livestream room were also very inexplicable, and their faces reflected their indescribable and inexpressible moods. Even the commentary barrage was silent for a moment while Wei Xun was eating in the middle of the night, and the hungry audience who had also ordered noodles was so shocked that they overturned their bowls of noodles.
