Ji Li’s obsession with appearances obviously exceeded Lu Xun’s expectations.

He was actually worried that her favorability would increase too quickly, leading to situations out of his control.

He was firmly against becoming a human furnace, as he treasured his life.

The sky had now completely darkened, revealing a spectacular view without the usual smog. The stars dazzled brightly and the moon hung high in the sky.

However, the dense forests of this world were filled with dangers. Staying here overnight required extra caution.

“Shall we take turns keeping watch tonight?” Lu Xun proposed.

“Okay.” Ji Li nodded.

“You rest first.” Lu Xun suggested, clutching the luxurious longsword he’d pilfered from a corpse.

The sword was extravagant in appearance, radiating an undeniable sense of luxury. Its quality surpassed all the mortal iron around them. The dead man must have spent a vast fortune on it.

Ji Li glanced around cautiously. “There won’t be ghosts at night, will there?”

“That would be great.” Lu Xun thought of the experience points he could gain, a smile couldn’t help but spread across his face.

Ji Li was left speechless.

Before resting, she couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you going to ask why I was being pursued?”

Lu Xun looked at her, teasing, “Because you like turning people into human furnaces?”

Ji Li turned away, aiming to avoid looking at Lu Xun; she worried that if she saw his face, she would unwillingly suppress her anger…

She seemed truly exhausted and quickly fell asleep.

As one could imagine, her sleep must have been light, more of a nap, rather than a deep slumber.

Despite her seemingly innocent and cheerful disposition, after facing these multiple pursuits, Ji Li should have developed a habit of maintaining vigilance.

Otherwise, she would have been dead by now.

Lu Xun, however, wasn’t sleepy yet. He continued to analyze his in-game panel and pondered over his next moves.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that he handed over watch duty to Ji Li.

The night went by without any incident. While Ji Li sighed with relief over encountering no more demons or monsters, Lu Xun wished he could kill a few more Black Sillies. Unfortunately, there were none in the vicinity, which left him slightly disappointed.

Encountering mobile experience packs indeed was a matter of luck!

When morning came, they resumed their journey.

After the recent events, Ji Li stopped clinging onto Lu Xun while traveling, leaving Lu Xun with a strange sense of loss, as if he’d lost his mount.

How comfortable is walking compared to riding a mount?

In myths, all the immortals who could traverse the earth and heavens also had mounts, didn’t they?

However, for him, a grown man, to ask a young girl for a “piggyback ride” seemed both shameful and embarrassing. Forget it, let’s just rely on my long legs then.

Along the way, Lu Xun learned that Ji Li had an incredibly poor sense of direction and liked to make decisions by flipping her ‘Wedding Sword’ like a coin.

It seemed she liked to go in the opposite direction to that which the sword pointed. If the sword pointed east, she’d definitely go west; if it pointed south, she would go north.

Was she naturally defiant, or did she just not get along with the magical sword?

A few hours later, after expending a lot of energy, they finally saw a small city in the distance.

Ji Li’s eyes curved in a crescent shape as she saw the city. All along the way, she’d been insisting, “I’ve always had a good sense of direction.” However, as she kept repeating this, she started to feel doubtful. At that moment, she felt compelled to say,

“I told you, I’ve always had a good sense of direction. Look, we’ve reached Qingmu County, haven’t we?”

Lu Xun didn’t respond but just pointed towards the entrance of the town.

Following Lu Xun’s pointing finger, Ji Li saw that the gate had two large characters inscribed on it—Wei County.

She instantly fell silent, taken aback.

Lu Xun, on the other hand, his eyes lit up as he saw the characters for Wei County.

“Interesting.” he thought to himself.

…

…

As mentioned earlier, Lu Xun earned his living through the game “Heavenly Dust”.

He created numerous small accounts, completed the difficult initial tasks, and then sold the in-game characters.

Thus, he earned the title of “Number One Trader in Heavenly Dust”.
