Chapter 48: Survive (Annoying)

Little did the four know that this innocent girl was starting to light up their world.

Lu Xie bid farewell to the two then went to her bed sat crossed legged then took out the book from her space. Then opened the book.

She slowly read and memorize the steps over and over again, this practice is also dangerous if the cultivator is not careful then there will be a backslash in using it.

After reading the book over and over again she then closed it put it back in her space then start to meditate. She felt the mana surrounding and then she slowly gathered them bit by bit into her core.

Then tried opening her pressure points and adding the practice in the book, this will make the cultivator's bone and blood tempered and become stronger and steadier

Lu Xie had sweats on her forehead she had been opening her pressure points and slowly putting practice on that pressure points. It may take a while but it's worth it.

Lu Xie felt her body was being overused her cultivation is still low and she can't force it today so she had to stop. It's unfortunate but she was able to open 3 of her pressure points which will be enough.

Getting up she stretch her waist until she heard a slight crack then breathed out heavily.

[Host, Zhou Meng's favorability toward you has increased]

"Yeah, but it's still on the stage of acquaintance and friends"

[Dont worry host you can do it] the system cheered in her mind

"Thanks"

Lu Xie then read the plot once more, and she needed to prepare for the opening of the secret realm.

The secret realm opened once every ten years and all sects would participate to gain treasures and experience. But legend says that the secret realm holds large amounts of treasure.

Be it money, cultivation books, and legendary weapons. It is said that in ancient times there were advanced civilizations who stayed in the secret realm and left all their treasure.

This was passed from generation to generation and would always go search for the treasure, so far none was able to track its exact location.

They say that the treasure was buried deep within the Hayan Mountain where the advanced civilizations all perish. They don't know what made them perish but there was a lot of speculation that they were killed by demons, they were poisoned, etc.

All these were rumors since no one knew what is truly the cause.

"System, do you have an ex-ray function"

[Yes host, you opened it when you entered this world]

"That's good"

Lu Xie remembered the plot Lou Zhen was able to find the treasure in an accident, they were ambushed by an enemy sect and he was chased into the forbidden forest where Rank 7 monsters usually roam.

He was able to escape heavily wounded when he entered a cave and found the treasure, this helped in his cultivation and owned several legendary weapons.

"Tsk, being the hero is very promising" Lu Xie can't help but sneer lightly

When the hero is in trouble he would either be saved by the heroine or the second female heroine. The world will always favor him.

"System, don't I have to take revenge for what they did to the original owner before"

[The host, is free to take revenge but there was no mission about revenge, your main mission the survive]

"I see"

Lu Xie sighed lightly and then looked outside the sun was slowly setting. Prepare some hot water then mixed it with cold water.

Removed her clothes and let herself soak in the lukewarm water in the tub. All the nerves in her body gradually relaxed and felt relieved she was tired for the whole day. Tomorrow, she's going to get busy again.

After a while, she stood up, pat herself dry then wear a thin nightgown, walked toward her bed then fell asleep.

******

For the next few days, Lu Xie had been doing the same routine cooking every morning and practicing or meditating for the whole day.

She manages to get the female leads favorability toward her higher, and their blackening was somehow getting low.

As usual, she woke up early to prepare a delicious breakfast for the four, a few days ago they started to regularly come and eat breakfast here.

Placing the bowls and chopsticks down, right on time her door was knocked.

Lu Xie put a smile on her face and then troat toward the door and slowly opened it.

"Good morning senior sisters" Lu Xie greeted energeticly and smiled brightly

"Good morning, Xiexie" Zhou Meng patted her head gently and her face showed a sincere smile

Lu Xie giggled softly, the four softened their hearts on her. She's not only cute but also a ray of sunshine.

"Please come in, senior sisters" Lu Xie stepped aside and let them in

Going in, the four saw the breakfast on the table and can't help but drool. They have been eating their junior sisters cooking and it was so good they kept coming back.

"Senior sisters I made some of your favorite dishes I hope you like it" Lu Xie beamed an innocent smile at them

The four smiled looking at the dishes and each dish had their favorite food. Picking up their chopsticks they immediately tasted their favorite dishes.

The moment the food entered their mouth it was as if they were transported into a world of tenderness and delicious food.

"Waah, so good" Gu Wenan put both hands on her slightly pink cheeks

"Junior sister it's very delicious" Tian Qinlu stuffed food in her mouth and bulged like a hamster

"I love it, your cooking is still the best" Mu Linya praised happily

"Xiexie, can you please cook for us again tomorrow" Zhou Meng fell in love with her cooking

"Of course anything for my senior sisters" Lu Xie replied sweetly

Melting the hearts of the heroines.

Lu Xie was about to eat went suddenly her courtyard door opened revealing a man.

Looking at the man, she face turned slightly cold and her smile turned fake. She smiled and greeted him with a fake smile.

"Senior brother, good morning" Lu Xie made her voice energetic

Lou Zhen looked at the sweet smile of the girl and his heart soften and smiled back. He also saw the four sitting and looking at him.

His smile turned warily and walked toward them decisively.

He noticed that this past few days the four were not looking for him in the morning so they can all have breakfast.

So he became suspicious and eventually found that they were eating at the junior sisters courtyard so he made his way to the courtyard and smell the tempting food in the air as he got closer.

Upon opening the door he saw them.

"Senior brother are you hungry, would you like to join us?" Lu Xie said softly inwardly she hope he would say no but who made him the hero

"Then trouble you junior sister" Lou Zhen cough a bit embarrassed

"Please sit down senior brother I'll be right back" Lu Xie then stood up turner her back and cutely trout to the kitchen to take an extra bowl and chop sticks.

The four watched and felt very unhappy but that unhappiness was not directed to Lu Xie but to Lou Zhen. They didn't like how Lu Xie smiled at him or even looked at him.

'F**k don't smile' Mu Linya

'I feel like I'm gonna rip someone's head right now' Tian Qinlu

Gu Wenan secretly glared at him and Zhou Meng clenched her chopsticks.

Then suddenly they noticed their reactions and looked at each other as if they read each others mind and sure enough they saw the confused and tangled emotions in each others eyes.

The heriones were all childhood friends that grew up together and had been helping each other when they are having freeze attack. And would often talk about random things and laugh. They were very close

That suddenly change when they met Lou Zhen, they each smiled warily at each other. What happned and why did this reach this far. They all thought.

Since, they were with Lu Xie they were able to talk and laugh normally like they used to be. Not like how they tore each other apart few years ago.

Now that they think about it, their friendship was ruined because of one person.

They all looked at the man sitting opposite to them a little cold.

Lu Xie took a clean bowl and chopsticks then was about to go out when she heard a prompt.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the heroines trust in the host]

Lu Xie was a little confused.

"Didn't I already gain their trust or we're all of that fake" her face turned cold

[Host, that's not it. The heriones believe you more than the hero now. They realised that all their problems started when they met the hero and are now debating]

"I see" Lu Xie prolong the word then took a deep breath and calm down.

Put on her innocent expression and smile she went on the kitchen with the bowl and chopsticks.

"Senior brother, here you are" Lu Xie politely handed the bowl and chopsticks to him

Lou Zhen took then and intentionally scratch her hand, then took it back as if nothing happened. He thought it was hidden but the four saw it and felt even more uncomfortable.

It was like there was something heavy pressing down their hearts and couldn't breath properly.

Lu Xie vomit in disgust inwardly and smile fakely at him then took a sit a little far from him. But who would have thought that he moved closer to her.

'System can i kill him now'

[Host, please stop that thought or the world will collapse if you kill him]

'Tsk' Lu Xie sneered and kept eating

The fours expression turned even colder as winter and their emotions were a bit chaotic. Dangerous thoughts appeared in their minds and their eyes turned dark.

[WARNING! WARNING! THE BLACKENING OF THE HERIONES ARE REACHING A HIGH LEVEL PLEASE ASK THE WEARER TO STOP THEM]

Lu Xie heard the sudden prompt and suddenly panicked, she looked at the heriones and gulped hard. Their expressions is so scary. She felt nervous and uncertain but she gathered her self and asked soft as cotton.

"Senior sisters are the food not your liking you stopped eating" Lu Xie said agrieved her eyes were a little lost

Snapping out of their senses they looked at the lost expression of their junior sister and panicked.

"No..that.."

"We like the food"

"It's delicious, we want to enjoy it"

"We wanted to wait for you"

The four said in a rush and didn't have the same answer as the other one. Seeing this Lu Xie let out a heartful laugh and her eyes turned present in happiness.

Seeing that they were tricked they also turned agrieved, Lu Xie was amused and pick some of their favorite food then put it on their bowl.

"Don't be angry, senior sister. I was just worried you don't like the food" Lu Xie said softly

"How could it be, it's delicious" Zhou Meng soften when she heard the words

"Yeah, and I can't stop eating" Tian Qinlu added happily

"We want you to cook for us food like this again" Gu Wenan patted her head gently

"So don't worry junior sister we like your cooking very much" Mu Linya said softly

Lu Xie nodded happily then bowed her head and eat.

Lou Zhen looked at their interaction and was a little jealous, he liked Lu Xie but didn't know how to show his like since it's the womens who always showed their like to him and his inexperienced.

He took a bite on the dishes and like her even more, her cooking was delicious like they said and it's very fragrant.
