After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

On the other side, Luohuo City——

"Brother Chu, why are we here?"

A sweet-looking woman asked with a smile. That woman was Bai Yueli who ran away from Yaowang Valley.

Chu Lingxiao had been on his way. When he heard her question, he turned and looked at her: "Because... I want to come here."

How is that possible? Of course it's because of the plot.

This is one of the key plots. In the plot, the old man in his body sensed that there were materials needed for cultivation here, so he asked him to come to Luohuo City.

Bai Yueli ignored his perfunctory attitude and unknowingly moved closer to him...

"Brother Chu is so casual. I envy him so much. He takes action immediately when he wants to do something. Unlike me, I have only acted on my own will once in all these years."

Bai Yueli's expression did not seem fake; she was truly envious and admired him.

Chu Lingxiao looked at her with a complicated expression. He originally thought that he had missed the plot for so long. Logically, he should not have rescued Bai Yueli who was poisoned by voodoo in the Yellow Poison Valley as in the plot.

But he didn't expect that the power of the plot was so strong that even though he came to Huangdu Valley so late, he still met the poisoned Bai Yueli.

He even suspected that whenever he went there, Bai Yueli would be poisoned and then rescued by him.

So, when Chu Lingxiao saw the poisoned Bai Yueli, he still saved her. After saving her, she fell hopelessly in love with him just like in the plot. Even though he told her that he already had a Taoist partner, she still didn't mind.

Regarding this...he didn't believe that Bai Yueli really liked him, it was purely because of the plot. Except for some characters who could escape the plot and have their own consciousness, most of them would still be manipulated by the plot.

Just like Luo Qi before, because of the plot setting, when I saw him, I fell in love with him at first sight, without any logic at all.

In this case, it is really commendable that Sister Liu did not fall in love with him as in the plot.

Chu Lingxiao thought as he walked.

Bai Yueli is a key character, so she must follow him, otherwise part of the subsequent plot cannot proceed.

Moreover, because of the influence of the plot, Bai Yueli is also willing to follow him. According to her words, "It doesn't matter where you go to make a living, it's better to follow him."

Chu Lingxiao found the inn in the plot. The reason for finding the inn in the plot was to be prepared for any eventuality and to be cautious. He didn't want any accidents or changes to happen and wanted to complete the plot more smoothly.

Bai Yueli saw that he asked for two rooms after arriving at the inn, and she was immediately dissatisfied, and said coquettishly: "Brother Chu, let's take one room, and we can save some money."

Chu Lingxiao ignored her coquettishness: "It's okay, I have a lot of money and I like to waste it."

Bai Yueli was even more dissatisfied when she heard this, and said pitifully: "But... I will feel insecure if I sleep alone, and I am a weak woman, what if I encounter any danger..."

"Brother Chu, you are a grown man, are you afraid that a weak woman like me will take advantage of you?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Lingxiao nodded seriously and said seriously: "I am indeed afraid."

"You..." Bai Yueli was speechless.

After a while, Chu Lingxiao said in a soothing tone: "If you are really scared, I can set up some talismans and formations near your room to protect you."

He paused, then continued in a coaxing manner: "You are so old now, you should learn to sleep by yourself."

"No need, I can protect myself."

Bai Yueli had no choice but to agree angrily to book two rooms, with each of them sleeping alone in one.

Chu Lingxiao pretended not to know why she was angry, and looked at her with relief: "That's right, you have to learn to grow up."

"Hmph." After Bai Yueli found out which room she lived in, she ignored him and turned away.

After Chu Lingxiao paid the money, he went to the corresponding room, and then collapsed on the bed as if all the strength had been released.

He suddenly remembered that after Bai Yueli first knew his name, she called him "Brother Chu", but he really couldn't stand it and corrected her many times before she reluctantly changed to the current name.

He thought at that time, if Qingze called him like that, he might feel happy, but...if other people called him like that, he would just feel uncomfortable (Song Jinnian doesn't count, as he always treated him like a child and was very indulgent).

Speaking of Qingze... He missed Qingze so much, and didn't know how he was doing now. Did he miss him so much that he secretly dropped his little pearls and cried with red eyes in the middle of the night because of missing him?

When Chu Lingxiao thought of this possibility, his first reaction was not laughter, but heartache. If this was really the case... then he would only feel heartache.

He seems to be feeling distressed now...

Chu Lingxiao covered his heart and said, Qingze, it hurts so much.

He is now in a contradictory state of mind. He hopes that Qingze will miss him all the time, because this proves that he loves him enough, but he also doesn't want Qingze to miss him too much and thus endure the pain of missing him and loneliness.

Qingze certainly couldn't contact him now, and he couldn't contact Qingze either, because Feng Ying had cut off all contact between him and Qingze, even the communication stone that he and Qingze used to communicate with each other was no longer available.

When Chu Lingxiao thought of this, his already aching heart hurt even more. He really wanted to see Qingze right away, or even just to hear his voice...but he couldn't do it.

He curled up in bed and covered himself with the quilt, imagining that it was Qingze holding him...the longing had overwhelmed him.

It took him a long time to calm down the surging emotion of longing in his heart.

It's okay, he told himself.

He has now completed one fifth of the key plot. As long as he works harder and speeds up the progress of the plot, he will soon be able to see Qingze again.
