Chapter 475: Chapter 259 Extreme Evil Erosion, Hidden Plot of Tianming Divine Palace_3
[Carrying your unconscious beloved apprentice, you hurry to the lodging at the foot of the mountain, ’Turtle Maru House’...]
[...]
[...]
[You leap with your ’Qi’, flipping through the guest room window. With your superior ninja skills, you manage to go unnoticed.]
[You lay the apprentice you risked your life to save on the bed. Their eyelids flicker slightly, it seems as if they’re about to wake up...]
[What is your next course of action?]
[1. Switch to the ’Fire Worshiping Wuzhi Stream Medium Ninja’ shell, recognize the elder sister disciple, take out the letter given by the master before his death, and go to ’Tisi Island’ with her to start a life like that of a godly couple.]
[2. Maintain the ’Fire Worshiping Wuzhi Stream Ninja Master’ shell, instruct your beloved disciple that ’Wuzhi Shrine’ has secretly sided with the ’Demon God’, and that you have already exterminated them completely. Then ask your disciple about their future plans.]
[3. Switch to the shell of ’President of the Direct View Association seeking knowledge’, and invite them to embark on the next journey with you, as a foreign wizard. As for the next stop, it’s naturally the heart of Thousand Hui City — Castle Tower.]
Lin Xun automatically ignores the first option, examining the second and third options in detail.
’Moon City Purple Leaf’ is undoubtedly an important character in the plot. The appearance of such an option suggests there may be more side stories involving them to come.
Even if Lin Xun has obtained the mother shell, having a powerful ninja who also doubles as an amateur mother by his side would make things easier.
If he wants to heal himself, he must switch to the miko shell and release his skills to do so.
It’s not a big deal to self-heal after a fight, but during the fight, switching to the miko shell could be troublesome, even dangerous.
But he already has plans for Castle Tower, and he fears having ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ along might be inconvenient.
Amid his deliberations, he selects the second option.
[You remain in the form of the ’Ninja Master’, patiently waiting for your beloved disciple to wake up.]
[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ slowly opens their eyes. Seeing their beloved master unharmed, they lunge forward to hug you, too emotional to speak.]
[You gently pat their back to comfort them, telling them that everyone in ’Wuzhi Shrine’ is under the control of the great monster ’Sly Ghost’, and that many have secretly turned to the side of the monster.]
[After defeating Sly Ghost with the foreign wizard, you cleansed the shrine, leaving no survivors.]
[The foreign wizard, given his sensitive status, has already left. You have now rescued them and will soon return to ’Tisi Island’ to recuperate.]
[You ask ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ about their future plans, whether they want to return to ’Tisi Island’, or continue being a shrine maiden, you will support their decision.]
[Hearing your words, ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ responds without hesitation that they wish to accompany you back to ’Tisi Island’, serving you in your twilight years. Your rescue may have aggravated your old injuries, and they have recently learned some divine techniques, which might be able to heal your wounds.]
[As they say this, they attempt to ignore their fatigue and use the Kagura Bell to perform a healing technique...]
[Do you want to support ’Moon City Purple Leaf’s decision?]
Support, my ass!
Lin Xun doesn’t want to return to that crappy place, Tisi Island.
[You become furious, raising your hand to slap the woman in front of you, but you hesitate to follow through.]
[You yell out in anger, calling her foolish!]
[How can one simply abandon the sacred duty of serving the gods? Both of you are devout followers of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’. To abandon the gods to serve an old man like you is utterly absurd!]
[Although ’Wuzhi Shrine’ has been destroyed, the largest shrine in the capital, renowned for its Sakura falls, is the ’Tianming Shrine’!]
[As your prodigious disciple, your duty is to serve at the side of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ statue in the ’Tianming Shrine’, how could you abandon your faith for your personal desires?!]
Lin Xun’s eyes light up.
"Here it comes, this must be the follow-up storyline!"
He quickly understands the game process.
According to the normal process, the Ninja Master would die in the battle against Sly Ghost.
The options provided to the regular apostle would likely be similar to his, just with different identities.
The first option is probably a joke, the second lets Moon City Purple Leaf decide on their own, and the third is to invite her to fight by his side.
If he chooses the third option, although it would grant him an extra fighter, he would also miss the hidden storyline of having Moon City Purple Leaf infiltrate ’Tianming Shrine’.
As for the second option, following the normal process, where the master has already died, the heartbroken ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ could naturally continue being a shrine maiden at ’Tianming Shrine’, triggering the follow-up storyline.
With regard to the first option of returning to ’Tisi Island’ and joining the Medium Ninja ’Yaichi’... let’s just say, it’s just not possible for a suck-up to win love.
