[Location: Eastern Outskirts of Jinling City · Nameless Ruined Temple]
[Time: 4th Year of Tianwu, August 2nd, Hour of the Tiger, Second Quarter]
The flickering firelight had not yet extinguished when another unexpected guest arrived at this dim, ruined temple.
No one knew when she had come.
Clearly, at that time, you were sound asleep.
She seemed to pay no attention to you.
However, your awakening caught her gaze.
At this moment, you saw her face!
You were stunned.
It was a face of unparalleled beauty, unlike anything you had ever seen.
Was this a fairy descending to the mortal realm?
Yet, it was clear that the fairy was not in a good mood.
Her delicate face was frosty, her eyes filled with an unmistakable sense of loss and anger, as she looked at you with disdain and sneered, "Are all men in the world such lecherous creatures? Even a little beggar is of the same ilk?"
Faced with her mockery, you plan to:
Option 1: Retort: "Madam, appearing alone in a ruined temple at night, mocking a stranger? Which blind fool broke your heart, causing you to vent your anger on an unrelated person like me?"
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Choosing this option leads to the encounter ending 'Foolish and Talkative': She glances at you, then strikes with a palm. If your realm is 'Innate', you can block the strike and trigger further dialogue. If not, you die.)
Option 2: Maintain composure: "Madam, you are right, I did look. But everyone appreciates beauty, and you are beautiful, so I looked. If that makes me lecherous, then there are no men in the world who aren't, including the one in your heart."
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Encounter ending 'Foolish and Talkative': She sneers, then strikes with a palm. If your realm is 'Innate', you can block the strike and trigger further dialogue. If not, you die.)
Option 3: Silence is golden.
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Encounter ending 'Just Passing By': She sees you remain silent and can't be bothered with you. At dawn, she leaves the temple, and you have no connection with her.)
Option 4: Explain: "I'm not a beggar..."
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: If hidden attribute 'Charm' ≥ 'Strikingly Handsome' or ≤ 'Rat-Faced and Beady-Eyed', enter encounter stage 'Love Turned to Hatred': trigger subsequent plot options. If not, trigger encounter ending 'Foolish and Talkative'.)
Option 5: Freestyle: You can hold this option and speak.
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Depending on your response, trigger 'Foolish and Talkative' or 'Love Turned to Hatred'.)
Please make a decision within one minute.
Five options appeared before you, and Chen Xuan's eyelid twitched, then he speechlessly chose what seemed like five options but was essentially the only one.
But damn it, charm? Is there such an attribute?
For no other reason than invincibility.
You seemed frightened by her cold words, shrinking your neck, and then quietly explained:
"I'm... I'm not a beggar..."
Your voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to anger her!
She glanced at you, her expression dark, and her figure appeared before you like a ghost,
Suddenly reaching out to grasp your neck.
That jade-like hand was like an iron clamp, impossible to escape.
Your face quickly turned red, feeling life slipping away.
She paid no heed to your struggle, her eyes fixed on you:
"I say you are, so you are! Little beggar, you are among the most despicable people in this world!"
"Isn't this woman crazy?"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but complain upon seeing this.
Then, he felt a bit nervous.
Damn it, this martial world is indeed dangerous!
As you were about to suffocate, she threw you to the ground.
You gasped for air, breathing in the rare fresh air.
However, you didn't expect her to have no intention of letting you go.
Perhaps your mere presence here was a crime?
She lowered her head, staring at you, and continued to ask:
"Quickly, are you a beggar? Are you among the most despicable people in this world?"
Faced with her questioning, you plan to:
Option 1: Die rather than submit: "I'm not a beggar!"
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Encounter ending 'Commendable Courage': She becomes furious and strikes with a palm. If your realm is 'Innate', you can block the strike and trigger further dialogue. If not, you die.)
Option 2: Go with the flow: "Yes, I'm a beggar, I'm among the most despicable people in this world!"
(Defy Heaven and Change Fate: Encounter stage 'Love Breeds Hatred': trigger subsequent plot.)
Chen Xuan was speechless, but clearly, if he hadn't seen that forum before, he might have stubbornly chosen to die rather than submit.
In this woman's eyes, you saw killing intent.
You sensed that if you didn't go along with what this crazy woman said, you might really be beaten to death here.
In this martial world, pride is useless; survival is most important.
You could only swallow your pride and say:
"Yes, I'm a beggar, I'm among the most despicable people in this world!"
As soon as you said this, you felt that sharp gaze disappear.
"Hahaha!"
A sick and crazed laugh erupted from the crazy woman before you, as she laughed and cried:
"Yes! Beggars are the most despicable people in the world!"
"These beggars, what good are they? They're just a bunch of power-hungry, lustful scoundrels!"
"Hahaha! Good, little beggar, well said!"
You looked at the woman in confusion, unable to tell if she was crying or laughing.
You remained silent, not daring to speak further, fearing you might once again anger this crazy and powerful woman.
However, it wasn't long before you realized you were wrong.
The woman before you, having figured something out, suddenly turned her head to look at you again.
She wiped the tears from her face, adding a touch of delicate beauty.
Suddenly, she gave a charming smile.
At this moment, you finally understood what it meant to be breathtakingly beautiful, making all others pale in comparison!
You were dumbfounded, not knowing what this crazy woman intended to do next.
Looking at you, she nodded, seemingly satisfied with either your appearance or your obedience.
At the same time, as if persuading herself or you:
"What Lu Lianshan did, why can't I?"
Then, she slipped off her outer garment, revealing her snow-white shoulders...
Chen Xuan blinked.
Is there really such a plot?
