The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 91 Another Unexpected Incident

The portraits hanging on the wall are arranged in a very clear order, based on time and the person's status.

Hanging in the very center are the founding patriarchs who originally established the Xuanshan Sect, and on both sides are some of the most famous figures of that generation, some of whom ascended to immortality and others who remained.

I don't recognize any of them, but the one in the front row of the second generation is Yanzhi.

Why did Liu Xingxing recognize him?

Of course, it was the inscription next to the portrait that I saw.

"On the seventh day of the ninth month, I traveled with my brother Yanzhi to a farm in the mortal realm. We saw a large patch of mallow trees growing abundantly, their colors beautiful. I then invited my brother to paint this scene." —A Gift

Liu Xingxing seemed to have a slight recollection of this gift. In his memory, he had come to see Yan Zhi a few times, but he wasn't from the Xuanshan Sect. As for what he looked like, he had truly forgotten.

That makes sense; if one can barely remember their own master, how could they possibly remember an outsider?

Liu Xingxing wondered why the Grandmaster Hall would hang a portrait of Yan Zhi painted by an outsider here. Did the sect not have any other portraits of Yan Zhi?

The person in the painting is dressed in white, holding a sword in one hand, with his black hair tied up high. He laughs freely and unrestrainedly amidst a field of blooming hollyhocks, just like a spirited young man.

Is this her master?

Looking at the person in the portrait, Liu Xingxing always felt that something was missing.

Although she couldn't remember what this cheap master looked like, in Liu Jun's memory he wasn't this young. He was at least older and more mature than in the portrait, and always looked old and preoccupied. She had never seen him so spirited.

“Yan Zhi…”

Liu Xingxing stared at the portrait, lost in thought, and even uncontrollably wanted to reach out and touch the smiling face in the portrait.

"When did you start smiling like that..."

Liu Xingxing's mind was a bit muddled, and she had no idea what she had just done. She only realized what she had done and quickly withdrew her hand, looking completely bewildered.

Before he could investigate anything further, everything went black and he lost consciousness.

Liu Xingxing's only thought was, "What bastard would dare to plot against a dignified ancestor like me?!"

And it's still on our own turf!

She didn't even notice; shouldn't she reflect on that?

Inside the Grandmaster Hall, Liu Jun's sudden disappearance did not cause any commotion. The people there simply assumed that she had something urgent to attend to and had left abruptly. In any case, they were happy to be free from the powerful aura that had left them.

……

……

"...Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to get up and pay your respects."

Hearing soft whispers in her ear, Liu Xingxing turned over irritably and went back to sleep.

However, the next second, she suddenly jumped up, looked around, and then looked at the little maid who was startled by her sudden action.

"Holy shit, what's going on?!"

ShockedΣ(っ °Д °;)っ!

Wasn't she looking at the portrait of her cheap master in the Grandmaster Hall? Where is this now?

Looking at these antique furnishings and magnificent decorations, which exude a sense of extravagance, there seemed to be a long row of maids and nannies waiting outside the screen, as well as a hunched-over man who looked like a eunuch.

Judging from Liu Xingxing's reading skills, the maid by the bed just now called her something like...Your Majesty? This is clearly the palace!

Holy crap! Where did she end up in this mortal realm after everything went black?

Judging from the style here and the clothes of these people, this is definitely not the mortal realm from last time. What kind of crazy luck is she? How come she keeps transmigrating, and even in the same world but running around in different mortal realms?

Liu Xingxing was also impressed.

However, this time it was clearly a different story. Liu Xingxing only realized this when she tried to mobilize her spiritual energy but received no response.

Liu Xingxing tried again and again, until she squatted in a corner and became depressed, still unable to figure out what was going on.

The crowd, who had been left standing aside for a long time, were astonished to see their mistress making all sorts of strange moves so early in the morning. However, no one dared to step forward to stop her, as they all knew their mistress's temper; she could easily be sentenced to death.

However, the maid who woke Liu Xingxing was different. She was someone the Imperial Concubine had brought from her maiden home, so she naturally had influence.

In early spring, she cautiously approached Liu Xingxing, who was huddled in a corner, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, did you not sleep well last night and had a nightmare?"

Liu Xingxing looked at her in despair: "You..."

He then glanced at the group of people waiting outside the screen: "Tell everyone outside to leave first, you stay."

Seeing Liu Xingxing's less-than-ideal expression, Chu Chun roughly understood what was going on. She tactfully walked behind the screen, whispered a few words to someone, and then dismissed everyone. The servants, on the other hand, acted as if it were common for them not to pay their respects to the Empress.

All the servants withdrew and, very considerately, closed the door, leaving only Chu Chun to return to Liu Xingxing's side.

"Your Highness, has your headache flared up again?"

As he spoke, he reached out to press Liu Xingxing's acupoints, but Liu Xingxing dodged him.

The concern shown by the early spring seemed genuine. It was only when Liu Xingxing was in a state of self-isolation that she realized this body did not belong to Liu Jun. Otherwise, how could she not use any spiritual power, and why did they not react at all? It couldn't be that she suddenly changed into a different person. But now she didn't have a mirror and didn't know what this body looked like.

"Um...do you have a mirror?"

"Your Majesty has everything you need. Are you getting ready?"

Although Chu Chun had some doubts, she still answered honestly.

"Take me...take me there."

After all, he's read a lot of novels, so this title shouldn't be wrong, right?

Clearly, Chu Chun showed no surprise or doubt. She helped Liu Xingxing off the bed and walked to the dressing table, then carefully helped her sit down.

Looking at her blurry reflection in the yellowed bronze mirror, Liu Xingxing's suicidal thoughts suddenly revived a little. The reason was that the appearance of this body was almost identical to Liu Jun's!

However, it lacked Liu Jun's aloof and otherworldly feeling, as well as the clear and dignified aura and spiritual energy surrounding a cultivator.

In short, he was just an uninteresting mortal shell, without any trace of a cultivator inside. He was just an ordinary mortal. Even though it was still the same face, it felt like something was missing. He was still good-looking, but not "particularly good-looking".

Liu Xingxing sighed helplessly. Well, no need to worry about whether her soul had left her body and transmigrated into someone else's. Now, it's time to figure out what happened.

The person next to her just said she has a headache? That makes it easier to pretend.

"...My head has been throbbing with pain for a while now, so much so that I can barely remember anything. Tell me what happened."

The next step, naturally, is the process of extracting information.

Liu Xingxing not only asked about her own affairs, but also about the general situation of this mortal world, which left her completely bewildered.

This isn't the mortal realm at all; it's the very illusion Lu Xihan fell into during the finals of the Joint Grand Competition—another illusion within an illusion!

Liu Xingxing: (?°?д°?)!

The more Liu Xingxing listened, the more certain she became that it was an illusion!

In the Great Liang Dynasty, the emperor's surname is Jing, and a powerful and incredibly skilled general recently went missing! And his name is exactly the same as Lu Xihan's handsome husband in the illusion—Xu Su!!!

Liu Xingxing had something she wanted to say but didn't know whether to say it or not, and she rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Since it's an illusion, why is it that this time, unlike the last time in the illusion of the Snake Demon, I could use my spiritual power even if I couldn't see it?

This time, I could clearly feel that this body was completely untrained, and I couldn't sense any spiritual power at all. It was clearly still Liu Jun's face and body.

"Your Highness, your hair and makeup are done. Do you like your look today?"

"what?"

While Liu Xingxing was in a daze, Chu Chun had unknowingly finished her hair and makeup. This maid was too diligent!

Looking at the not-so-clear image in the bronze mirror, Liu Xingxing neatly tied her hair into a flying fairy bun and adorned it with several hairpins that looked quite expensive. Her face was not yet made up, but one could already vaguely sense the aura of an unparalleled beauty.

After all, even without the "special effects" added, this face would still be enough to dominate the mortal world.

"Okay, let's cleanse our faces first."

Since there are no clues right now, and she's new here and knows nothing, she should just stay put and play her role for now, and make plans after she meets Lu Xihan.

He just didn't know when he would be able to see her. After all, according to Liu Xingxing's calculations, that general had only been missing for a few days. He still had to live in the countryside with Lu Xihan for several years and work hard to return to the capital.

Could it be that she really has to wait until this illusion ends before she can go back?

Every place has its own laws. Just like the mortal realm before, she wouldn't dare to use her spiritual power easily unless she was in a specific place, because there was always some kind of obstacle in the dark.

Moreover, even if she wanted to do something, she couldn't with this mortal body; that's the power of the law.

The mask of pain appeared as soon as it was spoken, and Liu Xingxing immediately lost all interest in life again.

When will we ever get to that point?!
