Wulin : Martial Heroes

Chapter 38: Special Quest

 He keeps patrolling sometimes jumping over trees or gliding down from hills or soaring upwards.

He heard the chirping of the birds and the songs of nature.

Like the day before, he thought that today would be another boring day but then as he passes a tree, he suddenly stopped.

His sudden stop had dispersed the pressure and impact of the energy on his foot to the breach. The branch breaks and exploded but Li Xin expertly somersaulted in the air and then landed gracefully on the ground. He ran back the distance and then look toward left.

There is a stream of water rushing and then there is a tree not far from that stream of water.

Li Xin saw a woman there, leaning on the tree, appearing to be unconscious. 

‘Hell! Zhou Qingxuan!’ Li Xin could not believe himself. This gambit of him really works

But before he could walk suddenly there is something that appears in front of his eyes. It is the quest notification

[Special Quest]

Jianghu is full of dangers. The choices you made would affect the future. As the host knows the future development of certain parts of destiny, the host is now presented with two choices.

Save this woman who would one day become a scourge of Wulin or kill her and end this threat before it even began.

Whichever way you choose, destiny would change. A small stone is thrown to the calm lake. There would be ripples.

There are always choices like this in Jianghu and in Wulin. What is the heroic way? Is it to kill this helpless woman? Or is it to save this woman and hopping for the best?

Should you be cruel now or should you be kind and regret it later?

The choice of the host would affect many things

In Wulin, nothing is as it seems, it is hard to tell between right and wrong. Keep your martial heart and keep moving forward!

Reward: Medium Gift Pack (the prize will depend on the choice of the host)

Li Xin was shocked at the sudden quest that is generated.

‘Hey!’ He thought at the system shocked.

Li Xin shook his head.

‘Whoa. Killing her?’

Yes, he did have intention of stealing from Zhou Qingxuan but it is not like he wanted to kill her.

His face right now is complicated. Now that the quest suddenly pops up, Li Xin does remember about the deeds of this Demoness.

Of course, what he heard is only rumors and there is no way to know whether that is really the truth

After all, Li Xin is just a low level disciple when he is in the game. Now, the game had become a real world.

Who knows if it is still the same

Right and wrong…. which one is the right answer, which one is the wrong answer? Is there even one.

Li Xin himself did not know what he would do so he walks forward toward that tree with conflicting feeling

He arrives in front of that tree and he could see that Zhou Qingxuan face is pale but there is some weirdness.

She is sweating all over but when she exhales her breath cold air seems to come out of her mouth.

There is blood on her clothes.

‘Tsk, tsk, this Demoness is really beautiful’ he thought to himself as he looks at Zhou Qingxuan face.

This is another thing he knows about the Demoness. This Demoness is a great beauty and is known all over Chang’an

There was a general of Wang Jian army that saw her face. The moment he saw her face, he wanted to take her as his concubine.

He sent a small squad to capture her. At that time, she is not yet a great demoness. She is more like a little Demoness, a rising young generation of the heterodox faction

When she was attacked by the general soldiers, she went to Chengdu and cut that general “treasure” and since then nobody dare spoke insulting words to her.

But it also demonstrates how beautiful she is so much so that a sane general became almost insane thinking of her day and night

Since then she always wears a silk translucent veil on the lower part of his face so that nobody could see her full face.

Li Xin had seen many beautiful women in his lifetime. He thought he would not be shocked. But, she is really beautiful

Even weak as she is leaning on that tree, and sweating she still look beautiful. She looks cold and detached and mysterious.

This is the temperament of the Demoness of the White Bone Peak. Even though she had not yet grown up to become that overlord that could wave her hand and causes the clouds to change, there is already a trace of that figure in her.

‘this kind of woman, this kind of calamitous beauty, it is really not easy ‘he thought to himself.

There is innate purity and pride to her and no wonder people wanted to possess her.

It is like playing push and pull. 

Because of her beauty, her temperament and this mysteriousness that just ooze naturally from her, one did not dare to get close to her, yet they would thirst for her favor.

Her cloud-like beautiful hair lightly and softly hanging on her back, this also accentuated her fragrant shoulders and her graceful, beautiful and wonderful outline, which looked as distinct as if she was carved with a knife.

Simply her slender and elegant figure is enough to make people feel that she was an enigma; an outstandingly exotic beauty that seemed to appear out of the dust.

And Li Xin estimation is simple.

‘A dangerous beauty… like that of a rose, beautiful but full of thorns’

But Li Xin did not move forward now. He is only a few feet away from her. Around four feet. In four feet, if he unsheathes his sword and slashes it forward this generation great evildoer, the Demoness of the White Bone Peak would not exist

But, he hesitates to do it. Right now Zhou Qingxuan is as defenseless as a baby. One shot and she would be dead.

After he had made the decision to live sincerely in this world, he always strengthen his heart. He knows that if he keeps living in Jianghu, there would come a time for him to kill a person.

He had steady his heart so that when the time comes, he would not hesitate. Li Xin before he arrives here still lives in a world so different than this.

Killing is not that frowned upon. Especially in Jianghu where there is blood feud and debts of resentment.

But, even though he is ready, this is different. Zhou Qingxuan had done nothing wrong to him. What the system told him when the quest notification popped out rings in his ears.

Right and wrong…this is really hard to decide. Li Xin did not mind killing people without weapons.

To many of the orthodox sect, killing someone without weapon and defenseless is not really the act of a chivalrous hero

But, it is a different thing between killing a defenseless woman that did nothing wrong to him. Could he sleep at night knowing he kills a girl probably a girl that around her age.

And not only that. This girl also did not nothing wrong to him. There is no hatred and enmity between them, no wrong things yet he kills her.

And while the future indicates that she would become the Demoness of White Bone Peak…. right now, is she the Demoness of White Bone Peak? No, she is not.

He sighed

His hand hesitates and then he shakes his head

‘If the hand hesitates, that means the heart also hesitates. And if the heart hesitates, I should know what the right answer is. It is because it is wrong that I hesitate’ he thought to himself and then he come closer to that girl and then decided to save this girl

‘I need to bring her to my hut first’ But when he looks at that girl again and he could see that the girl is really pale and the breathing is already almost nonexistent.

Li Xin wonders how did this girl survives last time. And then his mind thought of the person attacking him in the woods and then there is a story forming in his mind

‘Could it be that the last time she was here; she was saved by that person?’ Li Xin thought to himself and then he nodded to himself

It might really be so.

The reason this change this time might be because that person found out there is him in the mountain.

The person Li Xin is thinking about is none other than the one that had attacked him. It might that in the game since he was not here at this place and at this time, the one that saved this girl might have been that person.

Of course, this is just his conjecture.

He really did not know how the Demoness survive this calamity and he could only infer from his experience in this mountain.
