Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 14

Since the battle between Lin Que and Jiang Moqing, their interactions had gradually become more frequent, but they were limited to the sword.

After all, neither of them were fond of words at that time, and the one who kept the atmosphere lively was mostly the little maid and their master, An Xiaoyao.

But in any case, these two parallel lines finally intersected.

Practicing swordsmanship, reading sword scriptures, and comprehending mental techniques almost encompassed all of Lin Que’s time.

His daily life was taken care of by the maid.

Though it was said to be taken care of by the maid, in reality, she only did the laundry and cleaned the room, as cooking was a rare task due to the existence of military rations.

In the dream, Qin Wanyuan followed behind Lin Que, watching him spend his monotonous days.

‘So this is the Lin Lang of the past… Is the sword everything to him? What kind of obsession does he have in his heart to achieve such a level for the sword…’

The closer she got to Lin Que’s past, the more Qin Wanyuan wanted to learn more about him.

As events unfolded, the passage of time in the dream clearly accelerated, and Qin Wanyuan watched Lin Que grow up step by step, shedding his youthful innocence and becoming a young sword immortal in splendid attire.

Practicing swordsmanship, participating in the sect’s selection, winning the top position, and then competing among the hundred sects of the Eastern Region, Lin Que outshone all others, astonishing everyone with his skills, and with a single cold sword light, he claimed the top spot.

That year, he was seventeen.

Looking at Lin Que, who stood high on the top spot, full of spirit, Qin Wanyuan felt her eyes well up with tears.

So this is Lin Lang’s past.

However,

In the next second, the dream’s atmosphere suddenly changed. Lin Que, who stood high on the top spot, suddenly fell from the clouds. The scenes kept switching, with numerous images flashing by, like a revolving lantern.

The final scene froze, and the once spirited young sword immortal was now wrapped in bandages, lying dejectedly on a sickbed, looking like a dying person.

Qin Wanyuan’s pupils contracted sharply, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. She reached out with a trembling hand, wanting to touch Lin Que.

But at that moment, the scene shattered like glass. Qin Wanyuan was startled and suddenly opened her eyes, finding herself still in the room.

The dream had ended.

She looked up at Lin Que beside her and found that he had already opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly reminiscing or contemplating.

Qin Wanyuan looked out the window and saw the first ray of morning light entering through the window. She then realized that it was dawn, and with Lin Que waking up, the dream naturally shattered.

She reached out and gently caressed Lin Que’s face, silently thinking, “It’s good that you’re healthy now.”

Lin Que quickly snapped out of his daze. After a good morning kiss, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, leaving Qin Wanyuan to rest alone in the room.

Qin Wanyuan opened the system interface and glanced at the favorability levels. At this moment, Lin Que’s favorability towards Jiang Moqing had slightly warmed up but was still in the cautious range.

On the other hand, Jiang Moqing’s favorability towards Lin Que had increased a bit but was gradually declining.

“The heart technique of the Heartless Valley is really troublesome…”

She inexplicably felt like a frog on the wall of a well, jumping up a foot, only to slide down a few inches, not knowing when it would end.

At the same time, she had many questions in her heart.

Why did Lin Que go from being a spirited young sword immortal to that dying state? What happened in between, and how did his relationship with Jiang Moqing begin?

After all, she really couldn’t imagine how two ice blocks could spark a fire, and more importantly, why Lin Que’s personality had changed so drastically.

The former Lin Que was a forest boy whose sword was everything, almost like a sword that could never be sheathed, always sharp and exposed, but now he was more like warm and gentle sunlight.

What kind of great change could have caused such a transformation in Lin Que? And his change in status was also very suspicious.

The young sword immortal who once held the top position in the Eastern Region, why is he now just an ordinary inner disciple?

The only thing Qin Wanyuan could think of was that Lin Que’s changes were mostly related to the incident that almost killed him.

Besides these, she was also curious about where the maid had gone in the end. Lin Que said it was because he discovered she was a death warrior who broke the curse, but there were other reasons he hadn’t mentioned.

After waking up from the dream, Qin Wanyuan’s emotions were very complicated. There was surprise at seeing Lin Que’s contrasting side, joy when he won the top position, and heartache when he fell into the abyss.

And among these, the most profound emotion was… she wanted to see what happened next!

How could the dream end with Lin Lang lying sick in bed! What exactly happened in between, how did Lin Lang escape from the desperate situation and recover to his current state, and what happened between him and Senior Sister Jiang that they became Dao companions and then separated?

She was curious about all these things!

If Qin Wanyuan’s curiosity was like a kitten scratching before watching the dream last night, now it was like a group of tigers digging.

“System! How can I get those two talismans?”

[The host can obtain them randomly by completing tasks, or purchase them in the system shop using points. A single dream-sharing talisman series costs ten thousand, and a combination of two costs fifteen thousand.]

“Fifteen thousand… doesn’t that mean I have to conquer a target, and make that person and Lin Lang do it… fifty times?!”

Qin Wanyuan did some quick mental math and was shocked by the result.

However, if she were to conquer her sister Qin Qian’er, wouldn’t she even make a profit of fifteen thousand…

“Pah, pah, pah! What am I thinking! She’s my sister!” Qin Wanyuan quickly spat twice, thinking that she must have been brainwashed by the system’s emphasis on the triple reward.

She couldn’t think like that.

“Just tell me what tasks are available.”

To divert her attention, Qin Wanyuan immediately asked the system.

Anyway, the rewards from completing tasks were much more cost-effective than buying directly from the system shop, as it didn’t require spending extra points.

[Main task: Make Lin Que and Jiang Moqing look at each other for three seconds.]

[Task reward: Patience Potion*1]

“What is a Patience Potion?” Seeing the new term, Qin Wanyuan asked curiously, “Is it a potion that increases stamina? That kind of thing might be useful for mortal warriors, but for cultivators….”

[No, this potion can slightly reduce the host’s sensitivity, thereby extending the time of each intercourse.]

“…..”

After a moment of silence, she hesitantly asked:

“Is what you said true?”

[Guaranteed.]

“But didn’t you say that completing the task would reward a Dream Sharing Talisman?”

[This system never said that every time a task is completed, such a reward would be given. Dream Sharing Talismans are not as common as cabbages on the street.]

“….”

Qin Wanyuan was infuriated, her chest rising and falling with her breath. Finally, she let out a deep sigh, “Calm down, calm down. Let’s think about how to complete the task.”

The task of maintaining eye contact for three seconds wasn’t very difficult. Since Lin Que and Jiang Moqing had shared a dream about the past last night, she just needed to find an excuse to visit again, and they would inevitably make eye contact.

But why was this task so much easier than the last one?

The system’s first task was to visit Jiang Moqing for at least half an hour. Qin Wanyuan had overachieved and received a hidden reward.

Wait, a hidden reward?

Qin Wanyuan seemed to understand something.

Could it be that this task also had hidden conditions to fulfill… But what could they be? Extending the eye contact time, or…

She was still pondering the hidden conditions of the task when she suddenly noticed someone outside the door.

Looking up, Qin Wanyuan saw a small head peeking in.

It was Qin Qian’er.
