The male supporting character was actually myself.

She studies swordsmanship, which is a combat-oriented discipline, and doesn't know much about medical or life skills disciplines.

When they go out for training, there are special outer sect disciples who take care of these trivial matters.

"Senior sister, I still have a lot of food in my storage bag. Let's eat something first and then see if there are any villages or towns nearby." Jiang Chen took some food and water and invited the little white cat and Chi Ling to eat together.

Qin Xiuer, who was thousands of miles away, had already arrived at a small town on Lu'er's flying sword as night fell.

{A romanceable target detected. View the list!}

The system promptly alerted Qin Xiuer, who followed Lu'er into an inn, and casually glanced at the nearby targets available for romance.

It's called a "conquer beautiful girls" system, but the scope of that system can actually be set by the user.

He learned that this was the cultivation world, where many cultivators were over a thousand years old, and that's when he set his default mode.

However, this means that in crowded areas, the list of places to visit will be updated with a huge amount of new information.

From twelve or thirteen to seventy or eighty years old, all women are within the scope of romance.

He randomly picked a girl who looked pretty good and lived very close to him; she was the daughter of the innkeeper.

Romanceable character: Zhang Xiaoyu.

Identity: Daughter of the owner of Yunlai Inn.

Difficulty: Half a star.

(Yearning for a celestial destiny, she fantasizes about rekindling her romance with her dream lover, Zhang Liang. Click to view details.)

Walkthrough progress: 60/100

Favorability: 100

Rewards: 10 Spirit Stones; 10 Points

As a mortal, Zhang Xiaoyu's fascination with the legendary cultivators had penetrated to the bone.

She even dreams of being in love with a handsome and elegant cultivator, hoping that he will discover her extraordinary talent and lead her onto the path of cultivation.

Perhaps because she longed too much for the stories told by storytellers about flying on swords and shattering the starry sky, Zhang Xiaoyu dreamed every night of all sorts of romantic and heart-wrenching tales of swordsmanship and love with gentle and refined gods.

The more she dreamed, the more infatuated the girl became.

She fantasized that she was once a fairy who perished in a great war between humans and demons, which damaged her very essence and caused her to wander in the remote and desolate state.

Meanwhile, his Daoist partner from his previous life is wandering the mortal realm, searching for his reincarnated self...

Therefore, when a cultivator who had flown on a sword landed in the desert town for the first time in hundreds of years, Zhang Xiaoyu was so excited she almost fainted. Qin Xiuer, however, took a second look at her in the crowd and stayed at her family's inn.

After just one meeting, not only did my favorability rating immediately reach its maximum, but my progress in the romance guide also jumped to 60%!

Qin Xiuer, who desperately needed to win over the skill points to transform her ordinary appearance into a handsome and stylish one, thought seriously about it. Even if she succeeded in winning over the skill points, it wouldn't matter if she didn't touch her, right?

It's just a spiritual connection; there's no physical relationship involved.

Does she, a grown woman, really have the guts to force herself to marry him?

Just treat it like playing a game and completing NPC quests to make her happy; I get the rewards myself—a win-win situation!

So after booking the room, he couldn't wait to click on the details. A moment later, after dressing up nicely, Qin Xiuer came out of the room and, taking advantage of the moment when Zhang Xiaoyu was sitting in the backyard lost in thought, gazed at her affectionately.

"Guest, sir, what can I do for you?" Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned when she suddenly noticed that the cultivator flying on his sword was looking at her with affection. She blushed and stood up, feeling a little flustered.

Although his appearance was completely different from the handsome, white-robed deity she had imagined, he didn't look like a fairy at all, and his clothes were even worse than those of the vegetable vendor next door.

But at least he is indeed a cultivator who can fly on a sword; for hundreds of years, he has only been a legend in the desert town and no one has ever seen him.

While her appearance might hold back the restless hearts of most girls, she still harbored fantasies.

Maybe it's some kind of disguise or face-changing technique?

To escape his enemies' pursuit, he had no choice but to disguise his handsome appearance as that of an ordinary person...

"I've been looking for you for so long." Qin Xiuer said softly, staring at her with deep affection, "I've traveled across mountains and rivers, to the ends of the earth, and I've been looking for you all this time."

Ah Yu, is that you?

I'm Zhang Liang!

The pink jade hairpin by Moon Lake; us holding hands under the acacia tree; you taking a sword for me when we fought the demons—do you still remember any of these?

"Ah?!" Zhang Xiaoyu's deepest secret was struck, and she trembled slightly as if she had been electrocuted.

That was a secret she had never told anyone, a secret that belonged only to her. In that beautiful and wonderful dream, her Daoist partner was named Zhang Liang, and in the dream, he called her "Ayu"!

She could still vaguely remember a blue lakeside where a white-clad, gentle and refined deity placed a pink jade hairpin in her hair.

Under a lush tree, in the light rain, his hand gently held hers;

In the midst of the chaos, he didn't hesitate to block a sword for him.

She cherishes those scenes in her heart, occasionally reminiscing about them like sweet candy.

What he described perfectly matched his dream!

{Ding! Congratulations, host, you have reached 100% success in winning over Zhang Xiaoyu. The reward has been sent to your system's built-in space.}

Upon hearing the system notification, Qin Xiuer couldn't wait to try out the effects of adding skill points, so she turned around and headed towards her room.

"Ah Liang!" Zhang Xiaoyu was now certain that her dream was a memory from her previous life.

Having finally waited for her dream lover to come, how could she bear to let him go?

Chapter Seven: Young Lady, Please Have Some Self-Respect

"Young lady, please have some self-respect." Qin Xiuer frowned slightly as she looked at the hand gripping her sleeve, and said coldly, "Men and women should not touch each other. How can you be so licentious?"

Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes were blurry with tears. "Ah Liang, since you came to find me, why did you have to leave so cruelly?"

Originally intending to make up some excuse, Qin Xiuer saw Lu'er, who was currently pursuing him, walking towards him on the system map. In order to successfully win over this beautiful woman, he solemnly shook off her hand, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying, lady. Please have some self-respect!"

"Creak..." Lu'er pushed open the back window and happened to see this scene. Hearing Qin Xiuer righteously refuse the mortal girl's advances, she felt even better about him.

On second thought, I'm much prettier than that ordinary, plain-looking girl!

Qin Xiuer was willing to fawn over herself, so of course she wouldn't look down on that kind of person.

Therefore, she smiled smugly and waved to Qin Xiuer, saying, "Young man, come to my room for a moment."

The sweet, soft voice that made one's bones melt made Zhang Xiaoyu feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Wasn't her lover coming to find her?

Why would he be with such a beautiful girl?

Could it be... that she is already his Daoist partner?

"Please wait a moment, Fairy Lu'er, I'll be right there." Qin Xiuer glanced at the system and saw that her progress in winning over Lu'er had reached 50%, making her feel very happy.

Life truly is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills!

At this rate, I'll be able to win over this beauty in less than two days.

Upon hearing this, Lu'er was secretly delighted. She gave Zhang Xiaoyu a slight smile, like a delicate and innocent little white flower, and then closed the window.

"Was that... a provocation?" Zhang Xiaoyu stood blankly in the backyard, at a loss for what to do.

Looking at her own shabby attire and plain appearance in comparison, she felt like crying.

If that wasn't a dream but a memory from a past life, and that she perished because she shielded him from a fatal blow, then why did he claim to have searched for her across countless mountains and rivers, only to then become entangled in an ambiguous relationship with that fairy?

If you want to abandon yourself and be with your beloved, then don't bring up the past!

Why not just treat it as a dream, savoring, reminiscing, and longing for it at any time? Why make a heartfelt confession only to cruelly reject it?

Zhang Xiaoyu was in a state of confusion and her mind was blank.

"Fairy, is there anything I can do for you?" Qin Xiuer asked with a fawning expression. The system reminded her that to successfully win her over, she needed to satisfy her desire for a pure and innocent image.

Lu'er admires her senior brother and tries to attract his attention by pretending to be a delicate and weak girl.

However, although her senior brother would occasionally show her some preferential treatment, she could clearly sense that his mind was not yet on her.

Therefore, she craves power and beauty, so that all men will fawn over her and dote on her, even her senior brother who has the looks of a celestial emperor!

The system's analysis is quite detailed. Given Qin Xiuer's current conditions, if she wants to successfully win over Lu'er, she must become a part of her that Lu'er can't bear to give up.

As an ordinary mortal with no cultivation and an average appearance, he could only do what he could to take care of Lu'er. In this way, under the influence of goodwill and convenience, Lu'er would not abandon him and fly away on her sword.

"Hehe, I'll lick you first. Once I've got 100% success rate, it'll be your turn to lick me!" Qin Xiuer's face was full of respect, but she was secretly laughing with smugness.

The system for conquering beautiful girls is very powerful; it can block anyone from trying to pry into your inner thoughts.

In this way, he is the least worried about mind reading!

"I need a map." Lu'er took out some silver coins from her storage ring and used her mind-reading ability to check if the guy had any bad intentions. She then said with a gentle smile, "Could you please run an errand for me to buy one? The bigger the better. I need to know exactly where I am right now."

Qin Xiuer patted her chest, clutching the loose silver in her hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go buy it back for the fairy right away!"

"Indeed, bringing him along is quite useful." Lu'er felt that having him ride the flying sword over was a worthwhile trade, like having an obedient servant with her.

Little did she know that her "capture" rate had already jumped to 55%!

Qin Xiuer walked out with her hands behind her back, feeling pleased with herself as she looked at the rising numbers.

"Ah Liang!" Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly rushed out of the kitchen, grabbed his sleeve, and said with tears in her eyes, "We have to get this straight today, no matter what!"

Is there something you're having trouble telling me about?

Since you came to find me, why did you bring that fairy with you?

If you want to be with her forever, why bother trying to awaken my memories?

Qin Xiuer couldn't help but roll her eyes. It's really annoying to have a 100% success rate in winning someone over. If you were a beautiful fairy, I wouldn't mind the trouble and would accept you.

But I can't find any redeeming qualities in you, and you're not a rich heiress who can provide money, so what would I do with you?

"Girl, you're possessed." He impatiently pulled open his sleeve, but the other woman rushed forward, grabbed his leg, and cried, demanding an explanation.

Qin Xiuer was afraid that Lu'er would hear her crying and it would affect his mission. He kicked her twice but couldn't break free. He saw the innkeeper coming in from outside and hurriedly shouted, "Innkeeper, your daughter has gone mad!"

"Xiaoyu?!" The shopkeeper was startled upon seeing this.

He knew his daughter was obsessed with monks, and now she was even trying to pester them.

"Aren't you ashamed? Get up quickly and don't disturb the master!" The shopkeeper hurriedly dragged his crying daughter into the kitchen.
