After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 136: Loyal and Good Xiu’er

“Xiu’er…” Ye Cike’s voice was soft.

Xiu’er heard her Young Mistress’s weak but emotional voice. She was deeply touched.

Xiu’er was raised by the Xuanyin family since she was a child. She was not just a simple maidservant. She would be the Young Mistress’s helper and trusted aide in the future. She might even become the second-in-command of the Xuanyin family.

She had grown up with Ye Cike, and she had to learn a set of everything that she learned, or a supplementary cultivation technique to complement her skills.

She was Ye Cike’s shadow, but her status could not surpass that of the her master because she did not have the Xuanyin body. She was just an ordinary Immortal cultivator.

Xiu’er knew that she could only be a servant, but she had a good relationship with her Young Mistress. She also liked her Young Mistress.

She still remembered the first time she met the Young Mistress. Both of them were very young, but Xiu’er was actually older than Ye Cike. When she saw the small child, who looked very delicate and was held by an adult, she gave her a friendly smile. She was like a small white flower that was about to bloom, ready to be destroyed at any time.

She had always wanted to protect the Young Mistress!

Right now, she was not capable of protecting the Young Mistress, but she had to let her feel her response when the Young Mistress called out to her!

The maidservant’s eyes widened as tears welled up in her eyes. She immediately rushed forward and hugged the young girl’s fallen body.

The last thing Ye Cike saw before he closed his eyes was Xiu’er’s determined face.

She finally opened her mouth, but her vision went black again, and she lost consciousness.

“Waah! Young Mistress, are you alright?” Xiu’er looked at her Young Mistress in her arms with tears in her eyes. She felt like the sky was falling down. She looked at Liu Yuan angrily. “It’s all your fault! You two deceitful people! What did you do to the Young Mistress?! If anything happens to the Young Mistress, the Xuanyin family will never forgive you!”

The maidservant trembled in anger.

She had even forgotten that Li Jiutong and Ye Cike, who were the two strongest fighters on their side, had already lost consciousness, leaving her, an innocent little maid, behind.

However, she still said such threatening words. It was not a wise move.

And…

Liu Yuan clearly felt that Ye Cike was looking at him before he fainted. There was a kind of “hope” in her eyes, as if she wanted Liu Yuan to catch him.

The loyal Xiu’er had accidentally ruined her Young Mistress’s plan.

However, Young Mistress Ye was not too professional in her craft.

She was obviously trying to use a ‘self-injury trick’ to pull Liu Yuan’s heart back, but in reality, she could not bear to hit herself so hard. She even put herself in a defensive position so that she could use her spiritual power to block the damage at any time.

She clearly did not want Liu Yuan to help her up, but when she fell down, she still hoped that Liu Yuan rush to catch her… All of this happened in the span of fewer than five minutes.

Liu Yuan could not help but think of Gu Siyin, who was about the same age as him. If it was her, she would have smiled through her tears when Liu Yuan reached out his hand. She would have been coaxed very quickly and pulled his hand up obediently.

Although it was not very nice to think of his wife who was thousands of miles away in front of Duan Lanruo and Ye Cike, he was already starting to miss Gu Siyin’s cuteness.

Although she and Ning Xiangrong had some quarrels, after it subsided, they got along very well.

Compared to now, that period of time was truly a peaceful and peaceful life.

Sigh, it’s a pity that I can’t return. I can only wait for everything to settle down before I can go back and live my life.

Liu Yuan shook his head. Then, he looked at Xiu’er’s loyal posture. Although it would be quite unkind, he really wanted to say that her Young Mistress did not want Xiu’er to help her.

He looked at Ye Cike’s mouth and saw that she was about to say ‘don’t’.

As for ‘don’t’, it was probably ‘don’t’ come over’?

However, things did not go as she wished. The loyal servant girl caught Ye Cike without saying anything and held him in her arms. She had reason to believe that Ye Cike would not have fainted so quickly.

Liu Yuan looked at Xiu’er with a subtle expression. This little girl’s cultivation was even lower than his, but she still dared to protect Ye Cike. In terms of loyalty, she was definitely one of the best.

However, if Ye Cike were to remember this when she woke up, she would probably punish her severely.

But now, before Ye Cike could make a move, Duan Lanruo waved her hand, and a secret guard behind Xiu’er gave her a karate chop.

Whoosh! Pa!

Xiu’er also passed out.

In the study room, only Liu Yuan and Duan Lanruo were left, just like before.

However, the ground was filled with unconscious people, all of which were recounting how intense the battle had been.

Liu Yuan held Xiu’er in one hand and Ye Cike in the other, feeling the spiritual Qi in his body return to calmness.

Because he had used the two skills, his spiritual energy was in turmoil. At this moment, it was flowing back, along with the part that was being fed back by the sword. After flowing into his Dantian, it circulated, allowing him to start the breakthrough directly.

After recognizing its master, the Evil Heart of Killing sword would absorb baleful Qi, killing Qi, blood Qi, turbid Qi, and death Qi. Because of the ‘Feedback’ effect, they would all become nutrients for the sword’s master.

This was also one of the reasons why the murderous intent would become an evil sword.

Of course, in the game, the experience points gained from killing monsters were about 0.001 percent of the opponent’s HP.

With Liu Yuan’s current Foundation Establishment stage, he was able to fight a form Synthesis stage monster with the fake cultivation he got from equipping cards. It was completely a cross-level monster fight. His experience points would soar even if the other party lost a bit of health.

He broke through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage and was still going up.

It was also impossible to do in the game. After all, in order to get these high-level cards, one had to first conquer high-level characters. One had to enter high-level maps, and one had to be that level.

By the time they got their hands on the card, the player would already be a high-level existence. How could they fight across levels?

After Liu Yuan handed the two girls over to Duan Lanruo, he meditated on the spot and began to break through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Duan Lanruo was startled, but she quickly sensed his condition and stood guard at his side.

The secret guard outside the door came to report. “City Lord, Li Jiutong has been placed in the dungeon. His movements have not been leaked. Sister Ah Yue is currently patrolling.”

Duan Lanruo nodded and dismissed the others. Suddenly, she turned to look at Ye Cike.

According to the abundance of his spiritual power, he felt that he could even keep up the pace and directly rush to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

In fact, things went more or less as he had expected. When he opened his eyes in the morning, his cultivation level had stopped at the perfected ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. He was only one step away from the Core Formation stage.

“Whew…

Liu Yuan could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Once he reached the Core Formation stage, he would no longer be a weakling. Even without the help of the Illustrated Handbook, he would still have a certain level of self-protection.
