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

In the Red Flame Space——

Chu Lingxiao's whole body was surrounded by raging flames. He clenched his teeth, endured the severe pain, and tried his best to circulate the spiritual power in his body in an attempt to resist the raging flames.

However, this flame seemed to contain some strange and powerful power, which constantly devoured his spiritual power, as if it wanted to burn him completely.

After realizing that his resistance was futile, Chu Lingxiao decisively gave up the futile struggle.

He gritted his teeth, and used his last bit of strength to gather all the remaining spiritual energy around his sea of ​​consciousness, trying to stay awake and conscious.

Then, with trembling hands, he took out a spirit ball made of pure spiritual power from his storage bag and threw it with all his might.

The spirit ball instantly sank into the flames, and then a deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire Red Flame Space. The flames were blown everywhere and dissipated a lot in an instant.

Chu Lingxiao took the opportunity to rush out of the sea of ​​fire. He quickly identified the direction and found the "door" hidden deep in the space.

After passing through the door with difficulty, he finally escaped from the Red Flame Space and fell to the ground exhausted.

He still underestimated the difficulty of following the plot. He originally thought that it would take less than 300 years to easily complete these key plots. Now it seems...

Fortunately, he held the red crystal tightly in his hand, and felt a little comforted.

At least, he successfully obtained the crystal and completed this small node of the plot.

"Brother Chu, are you okay? Don't worry, I will heal you right away." Bai Yueli said with heartache as she looked at Chu Lingxiao's miserable appearance with burns all over his body.

"I'm fine." Chu Lingxiao heard her words, shook his head gently, put the crystal in his hand into the storage bag, and then stood up while enduring the pain.

He looked down at the wounds all over his body, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'm really fine. I'll drink some healing potion later and rest for a night, and I should be able to recover."

"Brother Chu, you are being stubborn again."

Bai Yueli seemed to have reached a conclusion. She stopped listening to his explanation and immediately began to perform healing magic.

The green light instantly enveloped Chu Lingxiao's body, and his wounds began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Fortunately, you are safe." Seeing that Chu Lingxiao's injuries were gradually getting better, Bai Yueli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Lingxiao looked at her gratefully, then took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her solemnly: "Thank you, this is the fee for my treatment, please accept it."

Bai Yueli curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Brother Chu, we have known each other for such a long time, why are you still so distant? Even if we are not Taoist couples now, we are still friends, right? Why bother to be so petty?"

"Even if we're friends, that's not okay."

Chu Lingxiao smiled and said seriously, "Friends should also abide by principles. If you treat other people alone, you should charge this much money. You work so hard to treat them once, how can I let you pay for nothing?"

"Besides, this is not considered as being unsociable." He continued, "It has been proven that this will not cause a conflict of interest, but will help us maintain our friendship for a longer period of time."

"Really...really?" There was a hint of uncertainty and hesitation in Bai Yueli's voice.

"Of course." Chu Lingxiao nodded affirmatively, "We have been friends for a long time. If we can maintain this friendship, it would be a very good thing."

Bai Yueli's eyes dimmed, and she whispered, "But I... don't want to be just friends with you..."

Her voice became quieter and quieter, until it was almost inaudible.

Chu Lingxiao sighed helplessly. He responded gently but firmly: "Yueli, I have said it many times. I already have a Taoist partner, and I love him very much. It is impossible between us. I hope you can understand."

Bai Yueli was rejected again, her eyes turned red, and her voice trembled:

"Are you saying this just because you don't like me? I've been following you around for so many years. If you really have a Taoist partner, why haven't you come to see you once? I think you're just looking for an excuse to reject me."

Chu Lingxiao shook his head gently, his tone full of helplessness: "How is this possible? Would I make up a Taoist partner just to reject you?"

"If I really don't have a Taoist partner and don't like you, I can also tell you directly. There's no need to use a Taoist partner as an excuse."

Hearing Chu Lingxiao's words, Bai Yueli's eyes became even moister, and tears began to well up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any time.

Chu Lingxiao was at a loss, he didn't want to delay Bai Yueli, but due to the influence of the plot, Bai Yueli seemed unable to escape the fate of following him.

He understood that the only thing he could do now was to complete this plot as soon as possible, so as to free Bai Yueli from the constraints of the plot and allow her to truly start a new life according to her own wishes.

"Bai Yueli...are you okay?" Chu Lingxiao noticed that she kept her head down. Although he was aware of her low mood, he still asked softly out of concern.

Bai Yueli slowly raised her head, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Can we...really only be friends?"

Chu Lingxiao didn't hesitate for a moment, nodded firmly and gave his answer.

Seeing Chu Lingxiao so determined and without any hesitation, Bai Yueli felt a pain in her heart. She turned her head away abruptly and ran away crying.

Chu Lingxiao was a little worried, but he knew that if he chased after her to comfort her at this time, it would only bring her more troubles and hope.

So, after she ran a few steps, he quickly put a talisman on her back, which could not only protect her safety but also quickly locate her position when she was in danger.

He silently watched her back until she completely disappeared from his sight...

Then, he turned around and went back to the room he had booked in the inn in a nearby town. Just as he was about to lie down to rest, a lively and agile voice suddenly came, breaking the silence in the room.

"Brother Xiao Chu, I heard some noise outside. Are you back? I, Sister Luo, and Sister Yi are all very worried about you."

Chu Lingxiao felt helpless. He had indeed forgotten about this.

So he had to get up and said to the people inside through the door: "I'm fine, remember to rest early."

He is actually not good at dealing with this kind of situation, or even very bad at it.

The power of the plot was just too strong... He simply couldn't understand why the protagonist in the original plot had so many harems.

He felt that just communicating with them had consumed a lot of his energy.

Maybe it’s because the original plot was made up of the creator’s imagination, so this relationship was exaggerated in the imagination?

Chu Lingxiao didn't know.

But what he was sure of was that his energy was very limited and he could only put all of himself on one person.

He had never understood those who were fickle and indecisive before...Now, he could not understand it even more.

What's more, he had already clearly rejected them.

But due to the power of the plot, they still choose to follow him.

Therefore, he could only choose to become friends with them in order to maintain a relatively harmonious relationship.

After all, if the relationship between them is too awkward, it will not only look ugly, but they are also not at fault themselves, they are just affected by the plot.

At this time, Chu Lingxiao's longing for Gu Qingze became stronger. If Gu Qingze were here, how great would that be? He could let Gu Qingze personally prove that he really had a Taoist partner and it was not a fiction.

Perhaps, Gu Qingze's existence could weaken the influence of some plot forces.

Chu Lingxiao thought back to the time he spent with Gu Qingze. At that time, even if they met a woman who might have a crush on him according to the original plot, they were able to remain rational and stick to themselves, unlike now... when they are completely influenced by the plot.

In order to stop his wild thoughts, Chu Lingxiao forced himself to close his eyes and focus on resting and recovering.

.........

The next morning——

Bai Yueli returned to the team. Her expression was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened yesterday and she had not been rejected again.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Lingxiao was full of fascination, and that sincere emotion did not seem fake.

However, Chu Lingxiao just felt that it was a little...scary.

Because he knew that it was the power of the plot that was forcibly changing Bai Yueli's consciousness, forcing her to forget the unpleasant experience of yesterday.

"Sister Ling'er, Sister A'luo, Sister Yi, we have to continue our journey." Bai Yueli smiled and knocked on each person's door one by one.

When everyone arrived, Chu Lingxiao looked at them with a complicated expression.

He thought about the plot for a moment, then said, "Then let's go to Mucheng next."
