Chapter 20 The Mindset a Protagonist Should Have
"Young master, now that I think about it, wasn't what you did a bit too audacious? Weren't you afraid of being discovered by the world?"
On a certain river, on a huge cargo ship, a woman dressed in Miao ethnic clothing gave a somewhat worried reminder to the young man beside her who looked like a wealthy young master, but her expression, no matter how you looked at it, seemed like she was suppressing a laugh.
The wealthy young master was none other than Li Muyang, who had already arrived in the world of Fengling Yuxiu, waving a folding fan with a slightly flamboyant air. The woman in Miao attire was, of course, Nan Ying.
What did Li Muyang do that made Nan Ying exclaim how audacious he was?
After arriving in this world, Li Muyang discovered that there was still a lot of time before the plot officially began. Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er had only just met at the Bai family, and the two girls had not yet started their adventures in the martial arts world.
So, Li Muyang decided to take advantage of this time to do something!
And then! He took Nan Ying and went to steal from the BOSS's house!
Li Muyang went to the headquarters of Tianxia Yi and stole one-third of the Immortal Diagram and the Innate Heart Sutra from Dongfang Yao, the big boss of Tianxia Yi.
This thing is like the entire plot, which revolves around the Immortal Scroll!
Of course, it's about using the spatial movement capabilities of the Administration Bureau's map!
This thing either functions like an anchor point, only allowing you to move to a fixed location on the large map, or it moves within your line of sight.
But Li Muyang, having nothing better to do in this world, tried to draw circles in the air, just like a sorcerer in Kamar-Taj.
He actually opened the spatial portal!
Let's just say it's the Sling Ring of Kamar-Taj!
Actually, it's not; it's just a spatial auxiliary item. But the fact that it opens a portal is enough for Li Muyang to move freely in and out of the world as if it were empty! He went in, grabbed what he wanted, and ran! Going in was a bit difficult; he didn't know the way and went in circles a bit, but getting out was easy! Anchor point teleportation!
He thought that exploiting a bug would get him punished by the management bureau, but unexpectedly, the boss said that rules are rigid, but people are flexible. As long as the task can be completed smoothly, other behaviors can be discussed.
This means that Li Muyang did not violate any rules, so the Administration Bureau will not intervene.
Rules are made to be broken!
Li Muyang even considered trying to find the mastermind behind the scenes, Chongming, the old coffin ghost, and give him a Tailed Beast Ball... But after thinking about it, he decided against it. This old guy was really hard to find. Just to find the secret manual and the Immortal Map fragments, Li Muyang had spent half a day wandering around the world's main base and almost got discovered. Finding the old ghost was too difficult.
For safety's sake, Li Muyang decided to stabilize the situation first and intensify his efforts for a while longer.
And now, Tianxia Yi is going berserk!
Someone actually brazenly broke into Tianxia Yi to steal things? And he succeeded? And he didn't even notice!
The Fengling Yuxiu world possesses four extremes: the extreme of the heart, the extreme of technique, the extreme of strength, and the extreme of qi. This thing is no longer just in the realm of ordinary martial arts, but in the realm of martial arts philosophy! Its effects are comparable to the settings in the world of martial arts! It's comparable to superpowers!
Dongfang Yao, the undisputed master of the Heart Sutra, was completely unaware that someone had infiltrated his headquarters and stolen the secret manual and the Immortal Map so smoothly and effortlessly! Before leaving, he even left a message: "The Thief Saint Bai Zhantang was here!"
Tianxia Yi was almost furious! He didn't dare tell his teacher about this! And the surname Bai... aroused Tianxia Yi's suspicion! He felt guilty! He could only secretly send his men to investigate!
Even so, the news inevitably leaked out, and rumors spread throughout the martial arts world that a master thief had infiltrated the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance and stolen something. The Alliance Leader, Tianxia Yi, was furious! He ordered a thorough investigation! The thieves must be apprehended! They must be severely punished!
Many people are also speculating about what exactly went missing that could make Dongfang Yao so angry!
None of this matters to Li Muyang right now; he still needs to find the two main female characters.
"Relax, it's more convenient to do things unconventionally!" Li Muyang smiled and leisurely waved his paper fan. "These two things might be useful later, so it's safer to get them in advance!"
"Besides, I also want to practice your cultivation system. I don't care for ordinary manuals!"
Nan Ying covered her mouth and chuckled. During the time they had known each other, Li Muyang had kept his mother-in-law... ah, I mean, this young woman from Miao territory happy every day. At least in terms of knowledge and experience, Nan Ying couldn't compare to Li Muyang.
Furthermore, since both of them are doctors, Li Muyang would occasionally consult them on medical matters. He now felt that his learning ability was terrifyingly strong! He was constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge!
It's unclear what memories the Bureau gave Nan Ying, but she seemed to quickly accept the reality of her resurrection. Afterward, she didn't mention actively looking for her daughter and old friends, but stayed by Li Muyang's side, taking care of the protagonist's food, clothing, and shelter. Of course, Li Muyang paid for everything.
It's as if the Administration Bureau directly restored Nan Ying's physical condition before her death and then transported her to the present through time and space. It's just unknown what the situation is like inside the tomb now.
After all, this was Li Muyang's first time venturing into the martial world, and he was indeed inexperienced. But unless there was a real danger to his life, Nan Ying would not easily give Li Muyang advice. In any case, he was only good at fighting. After being tricked a few times, he earned his reputation through sheer fighting!
Using only vector manipulation abilities, Li Muyang's computational power is certainly not comparable to that of a master in his prime. However, since it is a gold-quality technique, it comes with a very strong computational power. Combined with Li Muyang's attributes and the precision of his ability manipulation, Li Muyang is superior to a master! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to graduate in just one week.
During the instruction, although the old man remained arrogant, his expression revealed that he was still shocked by the precision of Li Muyang's abilities! It was as if... Li Muyang had grasped the true essence of vector manipulation! He was completely dominating the concept of vectors! Even if it was just a rudimentary form.
Computational power is just an aid! Even without calculation formulas, Li Muyang can still perform vector manipulation, but the effect is a bit lacking.
Most importantly, vector manipulation does not affect Li Muyang's normal use of other means, including his original spiritual power, the internal force he has only come into contact with in this world, and that sword technique. They can all be used in combination!
Catching a blade barehanded 100% of the time can be considered a sword technique, right?
After all, I'm a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded; I'm kind-hearted and dislike killing!
When using vector manipulation to bully others, this phrase is no longer used!
Last night, Li Muyang and Nan Ying, having nothing better to do, went to observe Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er breaking into the Cui residence and kidnapping the young master of the Cui family as both a hostage and a money bag.
As a result, while on the boat, they encountered a heartless boatman who ran a kidnapping business, and he kidnapped the three of them onto a black market trading ship... Oh! Feng Ling'er, that clever little devil, fell off the boat in a daze when the boatman used a sleeping potion, and hid when she came to her senses.
This boatman is no ordinary person; he's in disguise and has other identities, which I'll mention later.
So, when Li Muyang and Nan Ying saw Bai Yuxiu and her group board the ship, they took the opportunity to slip onto the ship as well.
After ensuring that Bai Yuxiu and Young Master Cui were safe, Li Muyang asked Xiaobai to keep an eye on them. Although nothing happened in the original plot, the world of martial arts is dangerous and unpredictable. His experiences during this period have shown Li Muyang the wickedness of people's hearts!
They didn't even spare a man like him! No wonder it was such an open-minded ancient society!
Fortunately, this anime is rated 12+ and there are no restricted scenes. Bai Yuxiu and Young Master Cui are simply locked in a cage in the ship's cabin.
Li Muyang and Nan Ying went to the inn area on the merchant ship, where they ate, rested, and waited for Bai Yuxiu and Young Master Cui to wake up. Oh, and Feng Ling'er also slipped onto the ship.
Just then, Xiaobai appeared out of nowhere and quickly climbed onto Li Muyang's shoulder, whispering in his ear, "Brother, Bai Yuxiu and the others have escaped."
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Muyang said softly to comfort him, tossing Xiaobai a peeled grape, which was naturally grown by Shennong Beast in the gourd farm, and then got ready to watch the show!
Watching Bai Yuxiu fight is truly a treat! Her ethereal, otherworldly aura doesn't seem like she's practicing martial arts; it's more like she's cultivating immortality!
Old Li also wants that kind of elegant temperament that radiates from within! Elegance never goes out of style—this one move can tell you your true worth! The more nonchalant you are, the more difficult you are to deal with! It's practically a master of showing off!
As expected, Bai Yuxiu's looks and temperament were captivating even in a crowd. She had only been out of the cage for a few minutes, and was just walking among the guests when she attracted the attention of a lecherous rogue—who even tried to grope her…
Would our Lady Bai tolerate him? Back then, Bai's mother was known as a witch! She was certainly not a villain, but that also shows her straightforward and righteous nature, and she didn't care about the prestige of prestigious sects.
She beats up anyone she doesn't like! Coupled with her exceptional martial arts skills, that's how she earned the title of a witch!
Bai Yuxiu was no less impressive, especially when she slipped onto the boat and pretended to be a waiter. When Feng Ling'er stepped forward to smooth things over, this guy actually threw Feng Ling'er out!
You can bully me! But what about my wife?
Bai Yuxiu's expression changed, and she immediately slapped him off the rooftop!
The fiercely protective husband is back in action!
Just kidding, it's purely a friendship between the two!
Because of the disturbance, the ship's guards soon gathered around. As mentioned before, this ship was not clean and did business on the black market, so they were not reasonable and kept giving Bai Yuxiu experience packs.
With Bai Yuxiu's agile movements and graceful, effortless moves, the guards were all lying on the ground in no time.
Just then, the expert on the ship made his move.
A bald man with a large beard, resembling Sha Wujing, wielding a crescent-shaped staff, suddenly launched a sneak attack on Bai Yuxiu, who had just finished dealing with the guards.
Bai Yuxiu reacted quickly, using the makeshift mace she had captured earlier to block the bearded man's attack. However, in order to deflect the force of this powerful blow, she had to drift backward, widening the distance between them.
No sooner had she landed than a man wielding a Tang sword appeared behind her and launched another sword-drawing slash at Bai Yuxiu!
