"But what does this have to do with me?" Wang Mu said. "Just find that male cultivator, and that would be the end of it."

"Can't find him; he's already dead," the paper figure said.

"..." Wang Mu.

"How did he die?"

"He was turned into dust with a single slap from Immortal Bi You."

"?" Wang Mu.

"Hmph, after that male cultivator left the Holy Daughter, he was unfaithful and heartless, quickly forgetting his promise to her. Within a few years, he found himself another woman to become his Taoist couple!" the paper figure said. "When Immortal Bi You found out, in a fit of anger, she slapped the man to death."

"..." Wang Mu.

Truly tragic...

"So this quest, I can't complete it either," Wang Mu said. "Didn't your Immortal Bi You find the wrong person?"

"No, Immortal Bi You said that you and that male cultivator look ninety percent similar," the paper figure cackled strangely.

"?" Wang Mu.

His heart gave a leap, and he suddenly came to his senses.

He vaguely felt that this story was somehow familiar…

Back then, Nanrong Biyou's identity seems quite similar to this Holy Daughter. She was originally of the Wa Clan bloodline, a minority ethnic group. After coming out to gain experience, she met the protagonist, and after some shared experiences, because her clan called her back, she returned to her people... During that time, she and the protagonist agreed that he would go find her. In the game, the Wa Clan faced internal strife and was infiltrated by villainous forces who aimed to seize the clan's treasured legacy. Just when the protagonist uncovered some clues and immediately headed to the Wa Clan Sacred Land, after a series of trials and exposing the villain's true identity, a great battle ensued, and the protagonist defeated the hostile forces... Finally, the Elder of the Wa Clan approved of the protagonist, entrusting Nanrong Biyou to his care. Nanrong Biyou was officially a part of the team then... In the end, before the final battle, using her bloodline, Nanrong Biyou activated the Wa Clan's treasured legacy, significantly enhancing the protagonist's power, and then entered a weakened state. The protagonist had to send her back to the Wa Clan to recover. And there appeared an ending CG, with a promise that after the great battle, he would go to the Wa Clan to be united with her in marriage... So, that was roughly Nanrong Biyou's storyline. She didn't participate in the final battle but was a great help to the protagonist. Thinking about it, this story of the Tianqi Mountain Holy Daughter... the similarity rate is a bit too high, isn't it?

What does this mean?

Is this a trap?

Wang Mu frowned, not quite understanding Bi You's intentions for a moment...

"BOO HOO HOO..." Little Jiao Huo at his side was listening with great sadness. "How can there be such heartless men!"

As she spoke, she kept looking at Wang Mu.

"What's with that look?" Wang Mu glared at her. "What does it have to do with me... What does it have to do with me?"

"Wang Mu, please don't ever become such a man," Little Jiao Huo said, counting on her fingers. "Such men will definitely meet a bad end!"

With that, she made a cutting gesture.

"Immortal Bi You said that it's fine if you don't take on this task," the paper figure said oddly. "But well, she mentioned that this treasure is very rare and quite useful for restoring one's Primordial Spirit. Although it can't compare to the Dan King Sect's Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill, it's still somewhat useful even to Ascension experts. It's up to you if you want it or not."

"..." Wang Mu.

Impressive.

A thousand years have passed, and Little Biyou's methods have become more and more sophisticated.

"I'll take the job," Wang Mu said.

"Good," the paper figure crossed its hands and huffed. "This task is quite difficult. Wait until you reach the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer or the Foundation Establishment Stage before you go. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's a one-way trip."

Having said that, the paper figure floated down, landing in Little Jiao Huo's hands.

"Wang Mu, you have to work hard!" Little Jiao Huo cheered. "This task is a test from Immortal Bi You! I believe that sooner or later, you will become Immortal Bi You's partner!"

"You're so clever," Wang Mu said with a glare.

"HEE HEE..." Little Jiao Huo blinked. "Then I'll be off. When Immortal Bi You sends a message, I'll come to find you!"

Little Jiao Huo swam away, leaving the area.

"Hmm... Tianqi Mountain... Holy Daughter..."

Wang Mu thought to himself. I'll go check it out after a while... It feels like there's a big trap...

Back in Anle Village, the little wooden house was tidied up nicely.

That night, Wang Mu, following Travel's information, came to the village's well and cast his fishing line. He waited.

The moon hung high in the sky.

A moment later, a little fish was pulled up.

"Well, well, it's you after all."

A very ugly fish, its entire body faintly shimmering with dragon-like patterns, was fished up.

Indeed, it was the Jinlong Carp.

After three years, Wang Mu had once again fished up this fish.

The Jinlong Carp seemed to recognize Wang Mu too and immediately started wriggling its body.

"Odd, what are you doing running over here for no reason?" Wang Mu was somewhat puzzled.

He had already fished from this well in the village twice.

"Or perhaps, should I take you away?" Wang Mu chuckled. "You little thing, you can bring good luck to people, right?"

The Jinlong Carp first paused, then frantically began to wag its tail.

In its eyes, there was a look of longing.

"Alright, alright, off you go." Wang Mu shook his head, considered the time, and realized it had been just about three years since he last fished up this carp?

He tossed the Jinlong Carp back into the well.

The Jinlong Carp swam a few circles on the water's surface, looking at Wang Mu, then blew a few bubbles that floated onto him.

I don't need this good luck BUFF right now, Wang Mu thought, waving at the Jinlong Carp. If I linger here for a few days, who knows if Senior Brother Su Yu's vital essence will remain intact? It's a shame to waste this luck; otherwise, it would be useful for more than just fishing—Artifact Refining or Alchemy would also benefit.
