Chapter 3: The Legendary Senior Sister

  Zhang Hao was deep in thought.

  "Hand over your things!" At this time, a Miao man said in a deep and sonorous voice.

  After hearing what the man said, Zhang Hao's mind was filled with questions.

  But his mind was filled with many fragmented pieces, such as the Tianmo Valley, cultivators of the Fenshen Realm, and numerous sword lights that filled the sky.

  He shook his head and let his mind gradually calm down.

  This doesn't seem right! The world is too different from the one in my game.

  Zhang Hao thought for a moment, his head hurting as if it was about to split open, but he still couldn't remember taking anything from him.

  At a loss for what to do, just then a brilliant light appeared in the eastern sky, and a woman wearing a moon-white Taoist robe descended slowly from the air, her feet resting on a three-petaled white lotus flower, appearing before Zhang Hao's eyes. The woman gazed at Zhang Hao with a faint smile as she floated gently down from the air.

  When she descended halfway, the lotus flower under her feet disappeared. She stepped down from the void, and with each step, a water ripple footprint accumulated in the air. When she took her second step, the footprint disappeared.

  In just a few breaths, the woman walked down from mid-air.

  At this moment, Zhang Hao and the monster were both attracted by the woman in the sky.

  A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with no expression on her face, a pair of clear eyes with a cold disdain for the world.

  The long skirt fluttered like Chang'e stepping into the mortal world from the Moon Palace in the sky, without a single wisp of worldly air about her.

  Zhang Hao gazed at the woman, almost exclaiming "fairy maiden", but he restrained himself. This woman looked familiar, yet there was a strange sense of distance in his heart.

  The girl looked up and glanced at Zhang Hao again, her clear eyes without any ripples. She opened her thin red lips and said, "Junior brother, the master has ascended to heaven, you can't continue to indulge in worldly desires, you must follow me back to the Menpai sect to cultivate!"

  Zhang Hao raised an eyebrow at the sound of the woman's voice, suspiciously pointing to himself. The woman glanced at him indifferently, neither confirming nor denying. She turned around to face the towering monster, her hands weaving a spell as a small flame appeared in her hand.

  With a flick of his finger, the flames flew towards the monster. The flames landed on the monster's body, and explosion after explosion occurred in an instant, burning the monster to ashes.

  Zhang Hao stared at everything in front of him in shock, still feeling as if he was in a dream. "Could this be a hidden mission?"

  Zhang Hao's soul was still unsettled, his heart full of questions.

  "It's just a low-level corpse puppet, why are you so surprised, junior brother."

  "Wasn't that just a person?" Zhang Hao hastily asked in response to her words.

  "Of course not a human, if you were, you would have died a thousand times already!" The woman said, turning her head to look at him and calmly asked, "Has Junior Brother obtained the ancient witch tribe's legacy in the Sealed Divine Realm - Tongtian Tower?"

  Zhang Hao felt her eyes suddenly turn cold, his heart sank, wouldn't she want to kill him to silence him?! I don't have any ancient witch tribe's Tower of Babel, can this thing add attributes?! This woman... could she be an NPC? A string of thoughts burst into his mind.

  But he still had some guard against this sudden appearance of the woman, so beautiful, a femme fatale! So her footsteps slightly staggered, turned around and wanted to leave.

  "Come back! You still want to run? Come with me!" A cold and unyielding voice came from behind.

  Zhang Hao had countless thoughts in her mind, she called me Shidi (younger brother), so shouldn't I call her Jiejie (older sister)? According to the plot, it should be acted out this way, or if she calls me husband, then I should call her wife, that's more reasonable.

  In his heart, YD was thinking, and he stopped the desire to leave that had been ready to depart.

  "After all, NPCs shouldn't kill people easily! But her appearance is like a player's, it's too vivid." Thinking of this, Zhang Hao's mind relaxed slightly.

  Sister! Zhang Hao's gentle voice called out, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body...

  The girl glanced at Zhang Hao lightly, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her clear eyes were full of inquiry, as if waiting for him to continue speaking.

  At this time, Zhang Hao's mind emerged with many fragmented fragments, and the entire head was as if it was pinched by an invisible big hand, and his headache was splitting.

  "Ah! Zhang Hao let out a pained wail. After catching his breath, he shook his head, looked up at the azure sky and opened his mouth to say: 'I seem to have forgotten everything!'"

  At this moment, Zhang Hao's mind was in a mess, his brain was a ball of mush. Just now, it felt like his head was about to split open, as if there was something inside his brain that was fighting against his will. This feeling was worse than death. The woman in front of him looked familiar, yet strange, and he couldn't tell whether she was a player or an NPC.

  The woman's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a chill gathered in her clear eyes. Her facial expression became even colder, and the air around her suddenly dropped in temperature. Spiritual energy surged, white mist rose, and clusters of water vapor condensed into delicate, crystal-clear snowflakes that danced and fluttered down from around her body.

  "Junior brother, Master has ascended to the west! How can you be so disappointing? If not for the previous master's last will, today in the Red Dust Sword Sect's chaotic burial mound, there would be one more lonely soul."

  Zhang Hao looked at the woman with a stern expression, seemingly genuinely angry.

  But he is now completely unclear about the situation, and has no idea what the Red Dust Sword Sect or his master's last words are. He doesn't even remember any introduction in the official materials. When he hears the woman speaking to him with disdain and disgust,

  A surge of anger also rose in his heart, but in front of this woman, he didn't know why, but he didn't have a bit of temper.

  She glanced at the woman and said, "Have we met? I don't know who you are or what you're talking about with this 'Red Dust Sword Sect', but since you just helped me burn that strange thing to death, I'm truly grateful!"

  The woman's expression turned strange after listening, as if she was pondering the sincerity of Zhang Hao's words. In her clear eyes, there were doubts, inquiries, concerns, and also a hint of disbelief.

  Looking at this icy beauty, Zhang Hao's expression changed dramatically as he let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Right, now that there's nothing else to do! Let's go our separate ways, I still need to find a place to transmit back to the city, and then see if I can log off."

  Zhang Hao finished speaking and set off towards the vast empty road.

  "Halt! A cold voice echoed from behind."

  Zhang Hao reluctantly stopped his footsteps, and at this time, he only heard the woman's voice coming from behind him again.

  "I don't care if your memories have been erased by someone's magic, come back with me first!" The voice was still cold, but Zhang Hao keenly felt a faint hint of concern.

  Turned around and came back.

  A woman summoned a five-colored deer with a radiant coat, its head adorned with antlers like a dragon, but without any ferocity, instead exuding an auspicious and gentle aura. Its eyebrows were white, its whiskers golden, and its body was a mix of various colors, appearing chaotic yet somehow extraordinary.

  Zhang Hao was somewhat reluctant in his heart, but he thought that if this hidden task was mandatory to complete, the benefits must be great. Thinking of this, he looked at the five-colored deer that suddenly appeared and asked with a smile, "Is this for me to ride? Or is it for me and my sister to ride together?"

  The girl glanced at Zhang Hao and said lightly: "I can fly in mid-air!"

  Zhang Hao looked at her with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "Sister, your divine power is unparalleled in the world, naturally it can't be compared to someone like me who is just an ordinary person!" Before he had even finished speaking, a green light had already flown into the air.

  The five-colored deer looked up at the blue light on its head, lowered its head and let out a cry, its four hooves stomping impatiently on the ground, emitting an irritable anxiety.

  Zhang Hao carefully stretched out his hand and patted the five-colored deer's buttocks, then patted it again. Looking at the five-colored deer that suddenly lowered its head, he smiled and said, "You beast still know how to be shy, are you a female?"

  Saying so, he strode forward in big steps.

  The five-coloured deer lowered its head and let out a soft, mournful cry. Its big, round eyes were filled with tears.

  Wow! It's flying!

  Zhang Hao did not notice the anomaly of the five-colored deer, but instead gazed at the white clouds surging and floating in the sky, gazing at the distant rolling mountains and green waters, a heroic sentiment suddenly arose in his heart, and the empty and desolate feeling in his heart suddenly disappeared by more than half.

  Originally, the mount system in the game was still a question mark, and he didn't know if triggering this hidden task would open up new maps and the mount system, thinking about it made Zhang Hao feel great.

  Feeling the refreshing air coming towards me, I closed my eyes and indulged in it. When I opened them again, all I saw was the distant mountains and waters stretching out before me. The mountains were like ink splashed on silk, while the water was like a soft blue ribbon winding its way through the landscape for thousands of miles.

  For a moment, Zhang Hao was overcome with emotion, his heart and soul intoxicated, and he began to hum a tune.

  The five-colored deer is not a high-level spiritual beast and is still in its growth period. Its flying ability in the air is only at an altitude of several hundred meters, which has not yet reached the wind layer in the sky.

  So Zhang Hao can freely and leisurely appreciate the beautiful scenery and relax his mood.

  In the midst of the gale, without the protection of a magical treasure, one's physical body would be blown into minced meat by the fierce gusts in just an instant, and their life would be extinguished.

  Listening to the wailing and howling by my ear, the five-colored deer humbly lowered its head, and the colorful auspicious cloud under its feet rapidly tore through the air towards the Red Dust Sword Gate in the distance.

  The five-colored deer flew for an hour, and when Zhang Hao looked around again, he was no longer as surprised as he had been at first. Calming down, he felt a bit tired, closed his eyes to think, and many strange memory fragments emerged from his mind. From these fragmented pieces, he managed to piece together a thread: this Shifu either regarded him as someone else or this was a covert mission. He still hadn't figured out which one it was. If it really was a covert mission, given how strict this Shifu was with him, the task probably wouldn't be easy!

  He closed his eyes and sensed the lower-level system again, but this time there wasn't even a white glow.

  But his mind recalled some scenes of playing dice and drinking flower wine.

  The five-colored deer slowly descended from the air and landed in front of a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. From the foot of the mountain, where misty clouds rose, came the faint sound of rushing water. At the foot of the mountain, a narrow path appeared, no more than three feet wide, like a long, slender snake coiled around the massive peak, winding its way up into the depths of the cloud and mist. Feeling the slight jolting, Zhang Hao slowly slid down from the five-colored deer.

  The five-colored deer saw Zhang Hao land safely, its spirit kicking its four hooves, lowering its head to glance at the stunned Zhang Hao.

  Zhang Hao saw the lovely little deer, so human-like, and his heart was filled with joy. He chuckled and said, "Hey! You still can't bear to part with me? Is it just this short journey that has made you develop feelings for me?" As he spoke, he burst out laughing by himself.

  The five-colored deer saw Zhang Hao's debauched appearance, and in its large deer eyes, it was full of disdain, but a thin layer of mist rose from the corners of its eyes.

  After Zhang Hao finished laughing, he realized that his strange and eccentric laughter, like a madman's teasing, was completely different from his previous personality, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

  The five-colored deer twisted its body and flew into the air.

  Gazing at the five-colored deer rising into the sky with its head hung low.

  Zhang Hao was stunned.

  He looked around, and the surrounding area was empty, with only steep cliffs, towering blue mountain peaks that pierced the clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun in the west.

  Just as he was at a loss, the Qiankun bag by his waist floated out with a faint glow, and the white light halo the size of a grain of rice was dizzying. With a gentle touch of his finger, he heard the familiar voice again.

  "We've arrived at our own doorstep, don't you know how to enter? Don't you have the talisman in your pouch?"

  "Hey, this symbol, how do I use it? I forgot..."
