The Journey of a Passerby's Elder Brother Being Courted by Feng Ao Tia

Lin Yuhe noticed his pensive look, the corners of her eyebrows slightly raised, and couldn't help but feel a bit mischievous. She moved closer.

"Come on, I'm a physically and mentally healthy adult after all. I'm not a kid who can't control my desires and thoughts. It's not a big deal to think about those scenes, right?"

Shen Mu also admitted it righteously. After all, for a man of his age, it was normal to have some fantasies about the intimate affairs between men and women. As long as he could firmly hold onto the proper boundaries, it would be okay.

"An adult..."

"Then let me ask you again. Have you ever been in a relationship? Do you have a Taoist companion in this world?"

Shen Mu simply gave her a blank look and stopped indulging her. "If you keep asking these private questions, I'll leave right now."

He was clearly annoyed.

It was obvious that he was annoyed.

Seeing that he didn't look happy, Lin Yuhe could roughly guess the answers to those two questions.

"Alright, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore."

"Come on, I'll take you to visit the other floors. Let you see the achievements I've made since I came to this place."

After saying that, Lin Yuhe led Shen Mu to continue strolling around the Moon Shadow Merchant Guild, just like a child who wanted to share the joy of her achievements with a friend, with a smile often on her face.

...

On Wanxiang Peak.

Luo Qingling was lying quietly on the reclining chair in the courtyard, her beautiful eyes gently closed, bathing in the warm and gentle sunlight. The peaks of her chest, wrapped under the silver-white dress, rose and fell rhythmically in slight undulations. Her picturesque pretty face was extremely relaxed, as if she was in great comfort.

However, after a while, a strange look gradually appeared on her pretty face. Her brows furrowed slightly, losing the relaxation and comfort, as if she was in a nightmare.

"No... you can't do this again..."

"I won't allow it..."

"I definitely won't allow it!"

She muttered in her sleep, then suddenly exclaimed and sat up abruptly. Her pupils also opened wide in panic.

However, after realizing that it was just a dream, she let out a long breath as if relieved, rubbed her eyebrows, and sighed, "Alas... Why have I always been having these unlucky nightmares ever since I took him in..."

"Could it be... a premonition..."

There was a hint of worry in Luo Qingling's eyes.

But after only a short while, she shook off this worried emotion from her mind.

Whether it was a premonition or not, no matter what, I will never let the same thing happen again.

Luo Qingling calmed down her thoughts a bit, took out a semicircular black ancient jade with broken cracks on its surface, and gently rubbed the disordered broken lines on it like silk threads...

"...Could it be because of you?"

The ancient jade in her hand didn't react at all, not even having the luster that jade should have.

After a while, Luo Qingling put away the ancient jade, then stretched herself, stretching her voluptuous body, and looked towards the distant sky.

"Hmm~~"

"Come to think of it... He should be back at this time, right?"

"Just in time. It's also time to pass that cultivation method to him..."

...

As night fell.

Shen Mu finally returned to Tianxing Pavilion, handed over the commissioned task, and received the pitiful reward of fifty spirit stones.

Although compared to his consumption, these fifty spirit stones seemed dispensable, but after all, every little bit counts.

Moreover, this time he had also successfully obtained the thing he had been longing for. Rounding it off, it could be considered a profit.

The only flaw and accident was that Lin Yuhe.

This fellow transmigrator from the same hometown as him was really hard to deal with. In front of her, he really had no room to resist at all.

He could only go along with her wishes.

And after having a heart-to-heart talk in the merchant guild today, she seemed to be even more interested in him.

In the future, she would probably come to find him even more frequently and actively.

Although from the experience of walking with her today, she didn't hold any malice towards him. Instead, she just wanted to find someone with whom she could freely release her true nature.

But this was a very dangerous signal!

Instead of forming a bond with the male lead, the female lead came to frequently communicate and accompany a passer-by like him. Wasn't this clearly carving the word "death" on his face?

In the common plot routines of harem novels, the heterosexual characters who can be actively and frequently communicated and accompanied by the female lead, if they are not relatives, will most likely end up dead in the future.

Very few of them could have a good ending.

No way!

He still had to do something. Otherwise, before his invincible and carefree path of breaking the situation even started, his death would be accelerated and advanced to an unknown time.

He didn't want to die while still maintaining his virginity without even experiencing having a wife or a Taoist companion in this world.

Shen Mu silently made up his mind and decided to have an open and honest talk with her to make her keep a certain distance from him.

At least, don't let others misunderstand, especially the male lead.

...

"Hmm, what you said makes sense, but I refuse."

Outside the mountain gate of Wanxiang Peak, after listening to Shen Mu's words, Lin Yuhe immediately and decisively showed her attitude.

"I don't care about other people's opinions, especially that guy's."

It was absolutely impossible for her to accept the predetermined fate!

Now, even if the red thread of fate with Jiang Ling was cast with hardened steel, she would try every means to break it off for the old moon god and would never accept the arranged relationship!

Shen Mu scratched the back of his head with a slightly troubled look on his face and secretly sighed in his heart: She's really a stubborn person who's hard to persuade!

"You don't care about other people's opinions, but you should at least consider my fate, right?"

"My ending in this story is directly related to you. Maybe, in the end, I'll still be unable to escape that fate because of you."

"Don't worry~"

Lin Yuhe slightly tiptoed and patted Shen Mu's shoulder, showing a confident smile. "I promise that I won't let you repeat the same mistakes this time!"

Hehe...

Why do I feel even more uncertain after hearing this promise?

...

After finishing the negotiation with Lin Yuhe, Shen Mu returned to his spiritual peak courtyard with a dejected look.

He pushed open the door, slumped weakly on the table, and his face was full of annoyance.

"Alas... What on earth is all this..."

Could it be that heaven wants to destroy my dream of eternal life and carefree living?

Thinking that he would face an inescapable death in the future and that the chance of breaking the situation was unknown, Shen Mu gradually felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He even had the thought of just giving up and being a slacker.

However, that was just a thought after all.

He always believed in one sentence: As long as it's not the end yet, everything still has the possibility of being reversed.

"Looks like... you and that newly admitted young lady disciple can still get along harmoniously~"

Before the person arrived, the voice came first.

A fresh and elegant fragrant wind drifted gently from the night wind outside the window. A fairy-like figure with red and white flowing hair had already sat beside Shen Mu at some unknown time.
