The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 35 The Next World

As the person closest to Fang Yuancheng, Lin Yuqing knew as soon as she saw Fang Yuancheng's smile that he was drunk again!

I don't know how Fang Yuancheng stole the wine from the storeroom... No, judging from this stone wine jug, she probably brewed it herself. I couldn't stop her, I just couldn't stop her. Lin Yuqing sighed, then moved aside to make room for the terrified Qin Ping.

"Hey, Ma Wuyi, why are you so angry? Could it be that this little girl really hit the nail on the head? The Qingping Sect Master is rude, immoral, and unworthy of his position!" Judging from Fang Yuancheng's face, which was much redder than usual, he was definitely drunk.

It's time for Fang Yuancheng to go on a drunken rampage.

"Sect Master of Qingping Sect, this little girl's description of you is indeed inappropriate. You are not only rude and immoral, you were simply born shameless!" Drunk, Fang Yuancheng was fearless and blurted out everything he had just thought of. "You still have the nerve to say that Huaiyu Sect is getting worse year by year. Do you want to guess why Huaiyu Sect has no treasures? It's because you helped Ma Wuyi betray the sect and instructed him to take away all of our sect's treasures. Otherwise, how could Huaiyu Sect have fallen to this state?"

The Qingping Sect Master was surprised that Fang Yuancheng would bring this up directly—he believed it was a disgrace to the Huaiyu Sect and that the Huaiyu Sect would not speak of it.

Ma Wuyi had already anticipated this, and it was a consensus among everyone who knew Fang Yuancheng: Fang Yuancheng was a madman, a mad genius unlike any other before or since.

The situation quickly escalated to a fever pitch.

The Qingping Sect Master intended to unleash his Nascent Soul stage power to suppress Fang Yuancheng. However, Fang Yuancheng summoned the Yaoshan Pot and smashed it hard against the Qingping Sect Master's forehead.

Ma Wuyi quickly slapped the Yaoshan Pot down—luckily, Fang Yuancheng hadn't added any magic to it, it was just thrown at him, otherwise Ma Wuyi really wasn't sure if he could have caught it.

After being startled, the Qingping Sect Master took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then angrily said, "What kind of management is this? Letting any stray cat or dog in! Look at the scratches on my face, I still feel a burning sensation on my face. You must punish this brat."

Upon hearing this, Xing'er laughed—or rather, he had already started to laugh out loud in his heart when he transformed from a lotus spirit into a kitten to catch the Qingping Sect Master—this rare opportunity to show off had finally come his way.

First, she stopped Fang Yuancheng's actions, then Xing Er slowly stood up, walked to Caihua's side, and smiled at everyone, saying:

"Originally, you were not invited to this apprenticeship ceremony—it wouldn't be good to disturb you all."

"But now, Huaiyu Sect has obtained a supreme treasure, so it feels necessary to invite everyone over to see this wonder."

Upon hearing this, everyone became curious: what kind of treasure could have prompted the Huaiyu Sect to invite them to come and see it?

The Qingping Sect Master's face lit up with a disdainful smile again, but the pain on his face quickly pulled it away. He said, "Treasures? What treasures could you possibly get? Just some elixirs and ancient books. No major sect has those."

"What a coincidence, we only fully incorporated this treasure into our sect today." Xing'er smiled and had Caihua lift up the little white cat hiding in his arms. "The little white cat in this girl's hands is a rare and precious creature! And this little girl is the owner of this precious creature."

There was an uproar both inside and outside the hall, but then it seemed quite reasonable – after all, the Qingping Sect Master was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and this cat could scratch three deep bloody marks on his face, so the cat's strength was naturally above that of the Qingping Sect Master. It was just unexpected that it would be a rare and precious creature that depended almost entirely on luck and character.

In an instant, all eyes turned to Xing'er and Caihua—or, more accurately, to the lotus spirit Xiaobai in Caihua's hand—their gazes were filled with greed, curiosity, or envy, but no one dared to make a move on Xiaobai.

The weakest point of Huaiyu Sect is its disciples, apart from the elders and the sect leader. The sect leader and elders can deal with them easily, and Fang Yuancheng, having been drinking, is in a sense half-mad, and what a madman does is unpredictable.

For example, after Ma Wuyi led a group of disciples and many treasures to the Qingping Sect, Fang Yuancheng got angry. He drank three small vats of wine and, fueled by the alcohol, went to Qingping Yu and burned down all the rooftops of the Qingping Sect using lightning-inducing pills. The people of the Qingping Sect stayed in open-air huts for three days.

Oh right, he also burned the Qingping Sect Master's beard.

"A rare and precious creature?! How is this possible?! This little girl is so small, with no special talents, and has mixed spiritual roots. How could this rare and precious creature recognize her as its master?" The Qingping Sect Master was incredulous.

Just as Xing Er was about to speak, he heard Fang Yuancheng laugh loudly twice and say, "Impossible? Only you are impossible. Unless forced into a corner, the spirits of heaven and earth always favor kind-hearted people. A villain like you will naturally not be favored by the spirits of heaven and earth."

"And don't even think about taking this girl away." Fang Yuancheng saw that the Qingping Sect Master's eyes had changed from disdain to fervor, so he quickly hugged Caihua and said, "This girl has already become my disciple. If any of you dare to take her, I'll leave a scar the size of a bowl on your neck."

Then Fang Yuancheng pulled out a hand, pointed at the Qingping Sect Master and said, "I'm talking to you, you old thing! What are you looking at! If you look again, I'll use the Lightning-Attracting Pill to blast your eyes to pieces with lightning."

Within Ayaka's consciousness space, System WQBYRZM stared speechlessly at the rapidly rising task progress bar—she was so shocked that she slapped herself in the face—the task progress bar really was rising so fast, just as Lu Renkui had said.

The progress bar quickly increased from 35% to 60%, and a pop-up window appeared.

The pop-up window reads: "Extra missions are 60% complete. Do you wish to leave this world?"

The system WQBYRZM relayed the words in the pop-up window to Lu Renkui.

Lu Renkui nodded and said, "Let's go, we'll definitely go. But let's wait a little longer, I want to say a few more words to Caihua."

"Alright, I've already been here so long, staying another hour or two won't be a problem," System WQBYRZM thought casually.

The situation for the other two people is not so good.

Just as Melissa was watching her own mission progress bar rise to 40%, the person who had been stuck at around 30% for over a month suddenly saw their progress bar surge to 60%, defeating both her and the other person.

Melissa felt a surge of frustration—the resentment that came from being utterly defeated.

At this moment, System 0733, with its long, curly blue hair, was screaming in despair within Zhang Chenmian's consciousness space: "No, what's going on?! What's going on?! Reporting it earlier was useless because this is a different system, not System 0814! This person hasn't done much for over a month, how did it suddenly jump to 60%?! What did this guy do?! Did he kill the Demon King?!?"

Meanwhile, System 0814 echoed the same scream: "I want to report the current number 1 player for cheating! Cheating!!!! Wasn't he stuck in the top 30% for over a month?! How did his ranking suddenly skyrocket in the last three days without stopping?!!!!"

Then the report submitted by system 0814 was rejected.

System 0814 stared incredulously at the system displayed on the screen, which was not 0733, but another system whose code name consisted entirely of a string of letters.

System 0814 then realized that they had been chasing the wrong person all along; the one who had been keeping pace with them was Melissa.

Cheng Menqin threw a cup, and after realizing what was happening, she used her spiritual power to retrieve the cup back into her hand before it hit the ground.

In different places, the two mortal enemies said the same thing.

"Host, we can't complete the mission in this world. Let's choose another one."

Cheng Menqin and Melissa then returned control of their bodies to Wang Fenglang and Zhang Chenmian.

On the mountaintop of Fangyuan City in Huaiyu Sect, Caihua sat by the bed in Fangyuan City, holding Xiaobai in her arms, while listening to what Lu Renkui was saying.

Lu Renkui said, "I'm leaving now, but I still want to say a few words to you before I go."

"I hope you can ignore what other people think."

"I hope you can maintain your kind heart and have the strength to become a kind person."

"Your future will be bright and promising, and everything you desire will come true."

"Goodbye again, I hope you can be happy every day." After Lu Renkui finished speaking, the system WQBYRZM pressed the exit button.

Just before exiting, Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM both waved goodbye to Ayaka.

Ayaka waved goodbye to them and said loudly, "I will."

It will get better, it will become braver.

The two immortals have given Ayaka this opportunity, and Ayaka will certainly not waste it.

Upon leaving that world of cultivation, System WQBYRZM immediately opened the points leaderboard.

When they saw that the points they had earned were in the five figures, which was better than expected, the system WQBYRZM breathed a sigh of relief and then excitedly opened the second task assigned to them by the main system.

Lu Renkui also went over to take a look and found that it was a space-based ABO novel.

“I understand, I want to wear a B,” Lu Renkui said confidently.

“You guessed right,” said System WQBYRZM. “This time, the mission character is a girl named Maria Elisa, a cannon fodder character who is a flashback character. Since we did a good job with Ayaka’s mission, the main system has given us a character whose name appeared once in the story.”

"Maria Elisa only appears once in the biggest boss's memories; she is the reason for the biggest boss's corruption."

"Maria Elisa, a military academy student, did not die on the battlefield, but at the hands of the male protagonist who went berserk during his heat."

"The biggest boss is Maria Elisa's brother, but they are not blood-related siblings; he is her stepbrother."

"That day, Maria Elisa was in the study room doing her own thing when the crazed male protagonist started attacking indiscriminately throughout the school. In order to save her best friend, she was stabbed through the chest by the male protagonist, and her heart was also taken out. After that, the biggest boss completely turned evil."

"Our mission this time is to help Maria and Elisa dodge the male protagonist's attacks as much as possible, and save as many people as possible while minimizing their injuries."
