“Elder, Elder Brother, why are you here?”
Seeing Rong Jue suddenly appear, Jun Lanyue instinctively took two steps back, secretly swallowing hard.
[Why is this guy like a ghost? Plus, with that icy face of his, even though he’s handsome, he’s scary!]
Rong Jue didn’t answer Jun Lanyue’s question. First, he glanced at the Treasure Pavilion’s door, then looked at her with a deep gaze, and finally opened his right hand.
A long sword slowly materialized, the aura fully displayed.
“Elder Brother, why are you taking out your sword?”
Jun Lanyue crossed her arms protectively in front of her chest, swallowing even harder, her face turning pale with fear.
[He wouldn’t have discovered that I plan to empty the Treasure Pavilion and is drawing his sword to kill me, would he?]
After all, he was the second male lead who would turn dark due to love. Jun Lanyue still held a bit of a fearful filter toward such a character.
Would someone with a heart not dark inside just inexplicably turn dark?
With a crisp “clang,” the ground shook violently.
Watching the lock fall to the ground, Jun Lanyue was stunned.
[So he was cutting the lock, not me?]
Jin Wang Wang laughed, rolling on the ground: [Host, look at your cowardly self! Also, host, are you disappointed that Elder Brother didn’t cut you?]
Giving it a glare, Jun Lanyue was about to say something to Rong Jue when she saw him sheathe his sword and silently teleport away again…
[Truly the dark second male lead, coming and going so…]
Before she could finish the word “fast” in her mind, Rong Jue reappeared.
“El, Elder Bro…”
Jun Lanyue jumped in fright, her voice trembling.
“Are you afraid of me?”
Rong Jue’s brows slightly furrowed, his expression icy cold.
“Huh???” Jun Lanyue shrank back, acting like a little chick, deliberately playing dumb. “Why is Elder Brother suddenly asking this?”
[Isn’t that a pointless question? You’re cold, strong, and weird. If I’m not afraid of you, should I love you instead?]
“The keys to the other places were also lost by that old man. Call me anytime if you need anything.”
Once again, Rong Jue didn’t answer Jun Lanyue’s question. After dropping these words, he vanished again…
After he left, Jun Lanyue immediately sighed in relief, letting down her defensive, bristling posture.
[Elder Brother, hmm~ Could he have some kind of problem?]
Jin Wang Wang: [How so, host?]
The lock was already broken. Jun Lanyue walked over and gently pushed open the Treasure Pavilion door. As she stepped inside, she answered Jin Wang Wang’s question.
[He might have had his brain squished by a door when he was little, leading to a permanent poker face with only one expression. As for his weird personality, I’ll tell you once I find a suitable reason.]
Jin Wang Wang: […]
Although the Treasure Pavilion didn’t look very big from the outside, once inside, Jun Lanyue realized it was a different world.
There was a Formation inside the Treasure Pavilion that expanded the space. The actual interior was about five times larger than what could be seen from outside!
With six floors in total, she felt she had struck it rich.
[There’s too much, Wang. I should try to see if I can take the entire Treasure Pavilion away.]
Jin Wang Wang: [Host, having a big appetite is a good thing, but don’t just eat anything when you’re hungry. There’s a fixed Formation beneath this Treasure Pavilion. Unless you’re a top-tier Array Master, you can’t take it away.]
Hearing this, Jun Lanyue, who had just thought about leaving, decisively turned back and continued using her Spiritual Power to move things into her Spatial Ring.
Jin Wang Wang: [Keep going, Host! I’ve calculated that based on your current strength, it will take about two more hours to move everything from the treasure vault.]
Jun Lanyue: “…”
Two hours wasn’t that long. Thinking about having so many treasures to rely on, her motivation surged instantly.
As if injected with adrenaline, Jun Lanyue moved everything from the treasure vault into her Spatial Ring in less than two hours.
Looking at the mountain of gold and piles of treasures, she couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.
With the task finished early, Jun Lanyue climbed to the top of the treasure vault and sat down to enjoy the view.
The Clear Breeze Sect was nestled in the mountains. If it hadn’t fallen into decline, it wouldn’t have been so desolate, with not a single person in sight for miles around…
She had only been sitting for a moment when she spotted Pei Yan approaching from afar.
With so few people in the sect, finding her was easier for Pei Yan than drinking water.
“Second Senior Brother!”
Jun Lanyue was quite fond of Pei Yan, this warm-hearted senior brother, and quickly jumped down to greet him.
With a good personality, handsome looks, and a considerate nature, it was hard not to like him.
“Little Junior Sister, have you finished moving everything?”
Pei Yan tilted his head to glance inside the treasure vault and couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. Goodness! It was completely empty—her efficiency was truly remarkable.
But it didn’t matter that she had taken everything. He was actually worried she might not have liked it.
The treasure vault was filled with valuable items, but they rarely used them. Since Little Junior Sister liked them, it was a good way for them to serve a purpose.
“All done.”
Jun Lanyue smiled a bit sheepishly, feeling like a bandit.
“Then come with me quickly, Little Junior Sister.” Pei Yan led Jun Lanyue toward another direction from the treasure vault. “Second Senior Brother has a lot of Elixirs.”
Hearing the word “Elixirs,” Jun Lanyue’s eyes lit up again, and she quickened her pace.
“Since you’ll be settling in the Mysterious Heaven Sect from now on, it’s always good for Little Junior Sister to have some Elixirs on hand, just in case, right?”
Soon, they arrived. Pei Yan opened a door, and a rich Pill Fragrance wafted out.
In truth, he had another reason for giving her his treasured Elixirs. He thought Little Junior Sister would definitely like them, so he had specifically saved the most precious ones.
Staring at cabinet after cabinet of Elixirs, Jun Lanyue swallowed hard.
[It must be because I was tormented so badly in the previous 99 lives that I have such a good senior brother in this one.]
“There are so many… are they all for me, Second Senior Brother?” she asked, still a bit uncertain.
Judging by the types of Elixirs, given Pei Yan’s current alchemist rank, any single bottle taken out for auction would cause a frenzy.
“They’re all for Little Junior Sister.” Seeing her delight, Pei Yan couldn’t help but smile, infected by her joy. “If Little Junior Sister likes them, I’ll give you all the Elixirs I refine in the future.”
[Listen! Just listen to these heavenly words. Truly worthy of the warm-hearted Second Senior Brother, sob sob~]
“I like them, I like them, hehe~”
Under Pei Yan’s doting smile, Jun Lanyue practically floated into the room.
[Overnight riches! Truly overnight riches!]
At that moment, she finally understood why the pampered female leads in novels were so powerful and willful. With big shots doting on and spoiling them, how could they not be powerful and willful?
After she finished moving the Elixirs, Pei Yan headed to the kitchen to prepare food.
This time, he specifically asked Jun Lanyue about her taste preferences, planning to make more dishes.
As for the three senior brothers, he had to showcase his strengths in this area to make the little junior sister rely on him more, hehe~
In the evening, when Jun Lanyue saw the table full of delicious food, she nearly drooled. Out of twelve dishes, eight were her favorites.
After the meal, she ate until her stomach was round and full. After dinner, she took a walk around the sect with Pei Yan and Song Qiguang to aid digestion before finally returning to her room to rest.
Perhaps the walk didn’t help much, or maybe it was because she was going to meet an “old acquaintance” tomorrow, but Jun Lanyue actually suffered from insomnia.
Lying in bed with her eyes wide open, she couldn’t feel any drowsiness at all.
Jin Wang Wang: [Host, once you arrive at the Mysterious Heaven Sect, you must cultivate diligently! Although I used the key to alter the plot, there’s still a possibility you’ll have to confront Yun Luo Chen.]
Jun Lanyue understood everything Jin Wang Wang said. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, one must possess formidable strength to rely on.
[Don’t worry, A Wang, I will work hard to cultivate and become stronger.]
In truth, her talent wasn’t low—it could even be said to be very strong. However, under the control of the plot, no matter how strong her talent was, it couldn’t withstand the protagonist’s halo surrounding Yun Luo Chen.
Jin Wang Wang: [Host, I’ll give you a surprise tomorrow. Let me give you a little hint: that surprise can assist the host in becoming even stronger.]
Knowing how reliable her system was, Jun Lanyue, tempted by the surprise, found it even harder to fall asleep…
Seeing her toss and turn, unable to sleep, Jin Wang Wang laughed mischievously.
Jin Wang Wang: [Host, hurry up and sleep! Why aren’t you sleeping? The Mysterious Heaven Sect is full of demons and monsters, so you need to be fully alert.]
Jun Lanyue: [If you hadn’t mentioned the surprise, I might have fallen asleep by now!]
Jin Wang Wang: [Since it’s my fault, let me help the host fall asleep.]
Before Jun Lanyue could react, she saw Jin Wang Wang holding a large hammer, swinging it straight toward her head…
“Damn you!”
After cursing, Jun Lanyue’s vision went dark, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Watching Jun Lanyue fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes, Jin Wang Wang was very satisfied: [The folk remedy my neighbor system told me really works. The host falls asleep without making a sound.]
She slept dreamlessly all night, and when she woke up, Jun Lanyue only felt a headache.
She thought they were going to the Mysterious Heaven Sect on their own, but early in the morning, a Flying Beast appeared outside the Clear Breeze Sect.
Moreover, there was a figure standing on the Flying Beast.
Seeing that figure, intense killing intent instantly surged in Jun Lanyue’s eyes.
