Chapter 107: Learn from One’s Mistakes!
***
“A Guide to Avoiding Honey Traps, what kind of book does Master think this is?”
Xiaotao said, her slender fingers precisely pulling out a book from the pile stacked half a person’s height. On the yellowed cover, several black ink characters clearly came into view.
《Guide to Avoiding Honey Traps》
“? This… is this reasonable?”
Lin Muyu was instantly filled with question marks, her eyes widening like saucers.
This was too disconnected from the cultivation world.
“Master, you just don’t understand.”
Xiaotao held the book, her small face wearing a completely serious expression as she earnestly explained.
“This is a booklet specially compiled by the Hehuan Sect. It’s said that every generation of disciples must study it upon entry, with the purpose of preventing them from being deceived by people with ulterior motives during their outdoor training. After all, Hehuan Sect disciples have special cultivation methods, making them easy targets for scheming individuals.”
“Ah, the Hehuan Sect… then never mind.”
Lin Muyu nodded understandingly, her previous shock instantly dissipating by more than half.
She hadn’t forgotten that the world she was currently in was essentially the world of a cultivation novel written by her perverted group friend.
Especially regarding the Hehuan Sect, it wouldn’t be strange if some odd things were added.
But she was the most pitiful one, she was the one who got added in…
“Xiaotao, read fewer of these kinds of books in the future, do you hear me?”
Lin Muyu sighed helplessly, her tone full of admonishment.
“The Hehuan Sect is considered a genuine demonic sect in the eyes of the righteous path. If you read too many of their books, be careful not to be led astray.”
When saying this, Lin Muyu was still regretting her impulsive decision from before.
A few days ago, Xiaotao kept saying she was bored staying in the space, and Xiaomu would curl up in a corner sleeping all day. So she thought of going to Qinglan Sect’s trading post to buy some interesting books to help Xiaotao pass the time.
It was there that she encountered a female disciple whose face showed a few traces of lewdness. The woman said she urgently needed to sell off a batch of collected books, not only were there many, but the price was ridiculously cheap. She kept calling her “junior sister, don’t worry, quantity guaranteed with satisfaction.”
Lin Muyu found the price truly tempting, so without asking much, she bought everything and stuffed it all into Xiaotao’s space.
But who would have known that as soon as these books were sent in, Xiaotao secretly hid them away. No matter how she asked, Xiaotao refused to show her even one book.
Now seeing this 《Guide to Avoiding Honey Traps》, Lin Muyu was already certain in her heart.
Among that pile of books, there definitely weren’t many decent ones!
“Okay~ Master~”
Xiaotao’s voice was sweet and coquettish. Though she agreed readily with her mouth, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
The books were all in her hands anyway, whether to read them or not was still up to her, wasn’t it?
Lin Muyu didn’t expect Xiaotao to actually listen, so seeing her agreement, she stopped dwelling on the matter and turned back to continue watching the movements outside.
Meanwhile, the village chief’s wife was carefully turning the door lock, afraid that too much movement would disturb the supposedly unconscious Lin Muyu inside.
But when she pushed open the door and saw the scene inside, she instantly froze in place, then called out toward the outside with some urgency in her voice:
“Old man! Something’s wrong! She’s not in the room!”
“Not there??”
The village chief’s voice came from outside, full of disbelief.
The next second, he hurriedly rushed through the door, his gaze sweeping over the empty bed and tidy tables and chairs. For a moment, he too panicked and stood there at a loss.
They didn’t notice that in the corner of the room, an inconspicuous pebble was quietly lying on the floor.
At this moment, Lin Muyu and her companion were clearly watching the village chief couple’s every move through this pebble.
“Xiaotao, your space is really useful.”
Lin Muyu couldn’t help but praise, her tone full of admiration.
“It can store things, serve as a dwelling, and when encountering danger, you can hide inside to avoid it. It’s simply an essential divine artifact for the cultivation world!”
Actually, in order to obtain Xiaotao, Ye Fan didn’t hesitate to risk making a deal with a demoness, which showed how precious Xiaotao was.
And according to the original book’s plot, Ye Fan did eventually successfully obtain Xiaotao, and with the space’s assistance, he had smooth sailing all the way.
Unfortunately, times had changed, and now Xiaotao belonged to Lin Muyu.
“Thank you for the praise, Master~”
Xiaotao smiled so much that her eyes curved like crescent moons, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.
“Actually, as long as Master works hard at cultivation and improves her cultivation level, I can unlock even more amazing functions~”
“Oh? There are other functions?”
Lin Muyu immediately became interested and curiously pressed for details.
“What functions? Tell me quickly.”
“Master, bring your ear over here, and I’ll tell you~”
Xiaotao deliberately kept her in suspense, winking at Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu was already curious about what Xiaotao was up to, so she obediently leaned her ear over.
But after waiting for a long time, she only heard Xiaotao say leisurely:
“When Master cultivates to that point, you’ll naturally know~”
While speaking, Xiaotao deliberately blew a breath against Lin Muyu’s earlobe. The warm airflow brushed past her ear, bringing a slight tickling sensation.
Lin Muyu’s ear instantly turned completely red, as if dyed with rouge.
She suddenly straightened up and glared at Xiaotao:
“Xiaotao, you’ve changed. You’ve become more and more mischievous!”
Though she said this, Lin Muyu wasn’t really angry in her heart, just a bit embarrassed.
She quickly changed the subject, redirecting her attention back outside.
At this moment, the village chief couple had completely panicked and were circling around the empty room.
“What should we do, old man? Could she already know about our plan?”
The village chief’s wife’s voice carried obvious trembling, her hands tightly gripping the corners of her clothes, her face full of panic.
“Impossible!”
The village chief immediately refuted, though his tone was confident, it was hard to hide a trace of guilt.
“I already had people watching her in the village. No one dared to talk to her, how could she possibly know about our plan?”
Despite saying this, the village chief was actually panicking terribly inside.
They had originally planned to control Lin Muyu while she was unconscious from the drug, then hand her over to Lord Wolf Demon. But who could have expected the person to vanish into thin air?
However, at this moment, he had to steady himself, panic wouldn’t solve any problems.
“No! We must find her immediately!”
The village chief gritted his teeth, his tone becoming urgent.
While the village chief couple were as frantic as ants on a hot pan, searching everywhere inside and outside the house, Lin Muyu and Xiaotao, hidden within the “pebble,” were quietly observing everything like watching a farce.
“Master, why don’t we go out and capture them?”
Xiaotao looked at the two people frantically running around and asked in confusion.
“With Master’s cultivation level, dealing with them should be very easy, right?”
“No rush.”
Lin Muyu shook her head, her eyes showing some composure.
“The village chief is an old fox with many schemes. Even if we capture him, he might not tell the truth.”
“Moreover, we don’t know yet if there are other people behind them. If there are backup plans, going out rashly would instead alert them. It’s better to observe secretly first and see what they plan to do next, then investigate slowly.”
This was Lin Muyu’s first time going out alone to execute a sect mission. She had thought it would just be simple demon extermination, but now it seemed the situation was far more complex than demon extermination. She had to be careful and cautious.
As for why she didn’t bring Su Wanqing and Luo Chenxi along—
Please, those two were female leads.
Going out with female leads, nine times out of ten you’d encounter even more troublesome situations.
She had already experienced this deeply — she couldn’t just keep making the same mistakes and learning nothing from them!
