The male supporting character was actually myself.

The most urgent task is to win over Jiang Mianmian as soon as possible!

Before the system increases the number of selectable romance targets, leave the others as is and reserve one slot for an easy-to-romance beauty...

As he was thinking, a pretty young woman walked towards him.

Qin Xiuer looked at the opponent's difficulty level, which was only four stars, and drooled with envy.

When it comes to appreciating beautiful women, he claims to have seen countless women online and can glean various data and even feel their physical attributes from a single picture.

Qin Xiuer scoffed at those who said they were indifferent to beautiful women because they had seen too many.

A variety of beautiful women are like a table of delicious dishes. The roast chicken is delicious, but that doesn't diminish the aroma of the stewed beef, nor can it overpower the refreshing taste of the appetizers.

No two people in the world are exactly alike, and this applies to beautiful women as well.

They each have their own merits and their own unique beauty.

How can different delicacies be compared?

Besides, even the same dish will taste different when made by different chefs. Why would you get tired of eating it if you come to eat it all the time?

Having just witnessed the stunning beauty of the nine-tailed fox, Qin Xiuer couldn't stop his fondness for the gentle and refined young lady. So, once he successfully won over Jiang Mianmian, he decided to add the musician named Feng Xiaozhao to his conquest list!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Failing to Help Those in Need

"Boom boom boom!"

Lu'er was just figuring out how to persuade her senior brother to help her get rid of the group chasing her when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" She cautiously focused her senses and saw a person dressed as a waiter standing outside, carrying a basin of hot water;

Two people were talking in hushed tones in a private booth not far from the corridor.

"Sir, the kitchen just boiled water, let me refill your water supply," the waiter replied.

The cautious Lu'er then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She touched her face to make sure the spell, which she wasn't very familiar with, was still working, before she went forward and opened the door.

"Whoosh!"

A basin of water was poured over her, and Lu'er felt as if her whole body was on fire. She was about to scold the person for pouring hot water on her when she heard the waiter shout, "It really is her!"

She then realized that the basin contained water with burning talisman paper!

It broke the disguise spell that it had painstakingly maintained.

The only one skilled at breaking this technique is the eldest brother who created it and taught it to himself!

Shock, fear, and despair mingled together as Lulu frantically fought back in the chaos, trying to escape.

"Surrender! The Iron Blood Order says it doesn't matter if you live or die. If you behave yourself and don't harm ordinary people, we brothers will spare your life!"

The hunter leader stood on his sword in mid-air, arms crossed, and spoke loudly.

Upon hearing the "Iron-Blooded Order," Lu'er's face turned ashen, unsure whether what the other party said was true or not. But regardless, falling into their hands would mean certain death, if not death. Therefore, her eyes flashed with ferocity, she brandished her longsword, and with her left hand forming a hand seal, she attempted to take ordinary people hostage to fend off her pursuers!

"Stubborn to the end!"

"You're asking for it!"

Seeing this, the two hunters showed no mercy; one of them used a throwing knife to cut off her right arm.

The other person was a body cultivator. He lunged forward and kicked her to the ground. She struggled for a moment but couldn't get up. Lu'er coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life! Thank you, Master!"

The small vendor, who was almost used as a scapegoat by Lu'er, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two of them. Then he picked up his load and ran away in a flash.

The entire process, from the disguised waiter breaking the disguise spell to the fight, erupted in a very short time.

Ordinary people on the street didn't even realize what was happening.

After they captured the man, the crowd realized what had happened and gathered in a circle, whispering about how the battle between the gods had ended so quickly.

"Excuse me, what's going on?" Qin Xiuer, who had bought a bunch of books to study monster knowledge, had just reached the entrance of the inn when she found a group of people gathered together, pointing and whispering.

"When gods fight, who knows what's going on?"

"Several grown men are bullying a little girl."

"Hey, don't say that. Have you heard of the Iron Blood Order? It was jointly issued by all the major sects in the thirteen states."

"Those hunted down by the Iron Blood Order are all vicious and ruthless criminals!"

"Don't just look at her delicate face. A cultivator's appearance can change. Maybe she's a burly man who picks his toes?"

"They were really beaten badly, I wonder what they did wrong..."

……

Qin Xiuer finally managed to squeeze to the front, just in time to see the other party cleaning up the mess and dragging the seriously injured Lu'er away.

"Help me! Brother Xiu, please help me!"

With her tendons and veins damaged and her arm severed, Lu'er, who had already given up hope, suddenly saw Qin Xiuer in the crowd!

She struggled and screamed frantically, hoping to grasp at the last straw.

When she first met him, Qin Xiuer was just an ordinary-looking mortal. However, in just three or four days, he became a Golden Core cultivator, possessed a precious cultivation technique, and became more and more handsome. All signs indicated that he was not an ordinary person.

If someone can come to my rescue, I'll still have a chance to escape!

"Brother Xiu, save Lu'er!"

She shouted desperately, and the hunters all turned around to see if she really had accomplices or if this was a scheme by the girl to escape.

Seeing this, Qin Xiuer hurriedly hid in the crowd and followed the growing crowd of onlookers to other streets, no longer daring to approach this area.

{Warning: The target has been successfully captured. The host will be penalized 10 credits for failing to rescue the captured target.}

puff!

He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Save me? Save my ass!

It's right to stand by and watch someone die. In that situation, rushing out would just be giving away free blood.

I've definitely been bound to a stupid system. It can't even understand how to act according to circumstances, and it's even deducting credit points.

With only 75 credits left, Qin Xiuer felt a little panicked.

But news of the hunter capturing Lu'er quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yunyan City, and more information about the Iron Blood Order also broke out.

After gathering all sorts of rumors, fearing he might get into trouble, he went to a quiet inn a few blocks away to stay in, planning to wait until things calmed down before continuing his pursuit of Jiang Mianmian.

Anyway, I have plenty of resources in my system space and I don't lack money, so I can take my time. I can use these few days to brush up on my knowledge of monsters and try to win Jiang Mianmian over the next time I see her!

"Lu'er's cultivation is probably ruined." Bai Yu stood in mid-air on his sword, sighing softly, "I wonder how Master will punish her."

Jiang Chen stood beside her, but his gaze swept across Yunyan City. He said casually, "If someone is killed in a fight during the arrest, at most they will die and their spirit will dissipate."

But if I were captured alive and sent back to my sect, my fate would probably be worse than death.

The cat girl, swaying slightly, shared a flying sword with Chi Ling, her tone quite dissatisfied, "That Qin Xiuer is really no good. She made such a big commotion but didn't even show her face?"

"Tch!" Chi Ling scoffed. "That shifty-eyed guy? He must have run away long ago!"

{Warning: The target Chi Ling's affinity level has dropped to -30, deducting 5 credits.}

{Warning: The affection level of the target, Bai Yu, has dropped to -20, deducting 10 credits.}

{Warning: The target's (Xiaobai's) affection level drops to -20, deducting 10 credits.}

The repeated warnings made Qin Xiuer tremble all over. He couldn't understand why they were losing favorability points when he hadn't done anything.

The favorability rating can even be negative! This broken system is just unbelievable!

Jiang Chen, still uneasy, pressed Chi Ling, "Are you sure you haven't developed feelings for him for no reason?"

"I'm not that kind of fox!" Chi Ling waved her hand dismissively. "At first, I didn't even know that the shifty-eyed guy was Qin Xiuer."

But you keep nagging me about it every day, I'm getting tired of it.

You said things I remember clearly, like "unsolicited kindness is always suspicious," and when I encounter a guy who forces a conversation, isn't handsome, has no class, and has a sleazy, creepy look, I not only find him disgusting, but I also confront him directly!

"That's good." Jiang Chen then looked at Bai Yu beside him. "Senior Sister, are you sure you didn't run into this guy today?"

She shook her head and said definitively, "I didn't see it."

However, after watching that video, I felt that he was very annoying.

Using evil magic to manipulate emotions is utterly despicable!

{Warning: The affection level of the target, Bai Yu, has dropped to -30, deducting 5 credits.}

"Holy crap!" Qin Xiuer scratched her head in frustration. What the hell did I do?

How come my favorability rating has dropped so drastically even though we've never even officially met?!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Sent to the Execution Platform

“But that girl Jiang Mianmian…” Bai Yu sighed with a troubled expression, “I don’t know if it’s because she’s too deeply under the influence of evil magic, but no matter how much I said, she seemed a bit unresponsive.”

Jiang Chen smiled confidently, "Don't worry, as long as you don't go anywhere these next few days and don't give Qin Xiuer any opportunity, I will find that guy, and he won't have a chance to harm anyone else."

Zhang Xiaoyu slowly floated out of the pendant, wiped the water from her face, and asked softly, "Are you talking about A Liang? What happened to him?"

"Busy flirting with other girls." Chi Ling said irritably, "I already told you he's not your dream lover, his name is Qin Xiuer, and he's an evil cultivator!"

Why are you so stubborn?

Isn't it just mind reading?

"Once you're freed from the evil spell's shackles and practice diligently, you'll master it in a few years."

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a while before floating back into the pendant, letting out a soft sigh, "I...believe in him."

Chi Ling was furious, but the little cat girl calmed her down with a piece of moon orchid honey.

Yunyan City has an expensive teleportation array that allows you to instantly teleport thousands of miles away in case of an emergency.

Having captured Lu'er, the hunters, fearing any unforeseen complications, spared no expense to teleport her directly to the foot of Qingfeng Sect Mountain. The handover was completed in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn after the successful capture.
