I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

At midnight, Yang Mu arrived at the Holy Maiden's cave as promised.

"Come in!" The saintess's indifferent voice suddenly reached Yang Mu's ears.

This is different from the sound under the incense of ten thousand desires!

As soon as he thought this, Yang Mu immediately slapped himself.

And you're still thinking nonsense!

And you're still having such crazy ideas!

This is reality, not a simulation!

After adjusting his mindset, Yang Mu immediately put on an honest and simple appearance, hunching over and walking into the Holy Maiden's cave.

Current situation:

In terms of status, the Holy Maiden is second only to two people and above ten thousand in the Thousand Clouds Sect.

In terms of strength, the Holy Maiden is second only to two others and above ten thousand others in the Thousand Clouds Sect.

She crushed herself as easily as crushing an ant.

What I need to do now is to be pragmatic and adapt to the times!

"Your subordinate pays respects to the Holy Maiden!" Yang Mu hunched over, and after catching a glimpse of the Holy Maiden out of the corner of his eye, he quickly stepped forward and prostrated himself three steps away from her.

"Get up!" The saintess sat upright in the main seat of the cave, her voice not particularly authoritative.

"Do you know why I didn't kill you?" Seeing Yang Mu's submissive and helpless demeanor, the Holy Maiden felt a bit more satisfied with him.

This question is naturally very simple!

Upon hearing the Holy Maiden's question, Yang Mu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "It should be that I still have some value to the Holy Maiden."

The saintess wore a faint smile: "You are of no value to me."

"Or rather, you are all of equal value to me."

In other words, I'm dispensable.

Yang Mu inwardly scoffed, but he crouched even lower.

"Do you know why I chose you?" The saintess looked down at Yang Mu, who had adopted an extremely humble posture, and asked with a wicked smile.

Yang Mu did not answer immediately, but after a moment replied, "This subordinate does not know!"

"Because it is your duty!" the saintess asked herself, answering her own question.

"Honest and law-abiding people are also intelligent!"

Yang Mu, who had already read the script, was suddenly startled.

That's not right!

The script says to be law-abiding!

However, there isn't much difference between being law-abiding and being dutiful.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Yang Mu comforted himself.

"Now, I have something I need you to do!" The saintess knelt down and personally helped Yang Mu up.

Yang Mu immediately appeared flattered and overwhelmed, not daring to look at the Holy Maiden at all, and bowed deeply, saying, "I am willing to die for the Holy Maiden!"

"Hehe!" The saintess chuckled twice, took a few graceful steps, and arrived at the main seat.

"If you can live, who would willingly choose to die?"

Ok?

Yang Mu was stunned again: Did the Holy Maiden say those words in the simulation?

"What I'm asking you to do truly involves your life!" The saintess's tone became more solemn.

"I want you to steal a notebook from the sect leader's cave."

Yang Mu's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at the Holy Maiden with an incredulous expression.

Yang Mu had rehearsed this expression in front of the mirror many times.

The Holy Maiden saw everything; all she saw was the shock in Yang Mu's eyes—pure shock.

Immediately, the saintess flipped her hand, and a palm-sized black jade sword talisman appeared in her palm:

"This is a black jade sword talisman!"

The saintess immediately explained, "As long as you inject a trace of magic power to activate it, it can instantly kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"The day after tomorrow, the sect leader will summon the inner disciples to discuss the Five Sects Alliance. That will be your opportunity."

"At that time, Guo Yufei will be the only one in the sect leader's cave."

"As long as you kill Guo Yufei with the sword talisman, all the treasures in the sect master's cave will be yours."

"I only want that notebook."

Yang Mu's pupils immediately dilated, looking quite shocked.

"Don't worry, this black jade sword talisman will definitely kill Guo Yufei instantly!"

"Moreover, I have made ample arrangements, and no one will suspect you afterwards."

Yang Mu immediately looked hesitant.

This was a performance that Yang Mu had decided to do after careful consideration.

This is the normal reaction a person would have.

Seeing the hesitation on Yang Mu's face, the Holy Maiden immediately stood up and walked towards him:

"Once it's done, rumors will spread within the Thousand Clouds Sect that you are one of my people."

Hearing this, Yang Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief: Thank goodness! It's pretty much the same as the simulation!

According to Yang Mu's previous deductions, by this point, Yang Mu should have made up his mind and gritted his teeth to agree to the mission.

Just as Yang Mu was about to follow the script, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

Yang Mu's vision blurred, and he saw that the Holy Maiden was already in front of him.

Yang Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Yang Mu was afraid that he would start having wild thoughts, so he immediately reminded himself: Stay calm! Stay calm!

Just as Yang Mu had regained his composure and was about to continue following the script, he suddenly felt a warmth on his left cheek.

The saintess's hand was already gently stroking Yang Mu's face:

"In the alchemy room, it seems you had thoughts about me?"

Instantly, Yang Mu felt as if his mind had exploded.

Immediately, Yang Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

Then, from the scalp to the heels, it felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

This is a bit different from the script!

Yang Mu was deeply shocked.

Before Yang Mu could react, the Holy Maiden spoke in a soft, melodious voice:

"If you accomplish this, this holy maiden may well make you her subject."

This wasn't in the script!

However, Yang Mu reacted quickly.

But Yang Mu immediately took a step back and expertly kowtowed, saying, "This subordinate wouldn't dare!"

Based on simulations and her own speculations, the Holy Maiden spent her last period at the Thousand Clouds Sect plotting the Nascent Soul Secret Realm.

Even for someone as insignificant as herself, the saintess did not kill her when she obtained the second half of the notebook.

Even if there's only a one in a million chance, I'll keep a backup plan. If the Holy Maiden kills me, it will affect her subsequent plans for the Nascent Soul Realm.

She didn't kill herself, the ant, because of the possibility of something happening.

This shows how much the Holy Maiden valued the Nascent Soul Realm and her future path of cultivation.

But, no matter how much you value it.

It's impossible for a saint to grant an ant a night of tenderness just because it helped her.

Therefore, the moment the Holy Maiden uttered those words, Yang Mu's sense of crisis told him that the Holy Maiden was testing his heart!

This is enough to determine whether the Holy Maiden will abandon her after using her help!

"Your subordinate is willing to die for the Holy Maiden!"

"I only ask that the Holy Maiden conceal the theft of the elixir from my memory."

"Besides this, I dare not have any other improper thoughts."

Yang Mu acted decisively, speaking his duty based on the label the Holy Maiden had given him!

And he prayed in his heart that the saintess would not cause any more trouble and would quickly continue according to the simulated script!

"Heh!" The saintess chuckled softly, startling Yang Mu and giving him goosebumps.

Immediately, the black jade sword talisman floated down in front of Yang Mu.

"Are you wondering why I value that notebook so much?" The saintess sat down again, her tone returning to its usual calm.

No, no, no! I have no doubts!

"You must have heard the news that the Sect Master and the Supreme Sect Master were severely injured!"

No, no, no! I haven't heard of that!

My little darling, hurry up and follow the script!

I can't stand being scared!

Yang Mu prayed silently.

As if Yang Mu's prayers had been answered, the Holy Maiden seemed to begin talking to herself about the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yang Mu had made some guesses.

Given the saintess's status, position, and power, she shouldn't have needed to tell him this information.

In conclusion, the saintess kept her promise and exchanged this outcome with him.

Yang Mu guessed that the reason the Holy Maiden shared this information was to tell him that the notebook was very important to her.

At the same time, the saint's implied meaning is:

If you don't get that notebook back, and you know so much information, you're doomed.

After the Holy Maiden finished recounting the information Yang Mu already knew, she added, "After it's done, I will give you a token that can activate the sect's protective array."

"You can leave Qianyun Sect at any time."

Yang Mu had long forgotten when and how he left the Holy Maiden's cave.

Yang Mu only knew that when he left the cave, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

In the simulation, to prevent the saintess from abandoning him after she had served her purpose, he burned the second half of the notebook and memorized it.

As it turned out, the saint seemed to be quite true to her word.

So this time, should we just take out the complete notes and exchange them for a fake order to escape?
