Dao Ancestor Inheritance

In the morning light, Han Shuangjiang looked at the smiling Chu Huai Xu.

"Not yet." She replied without lying, indicating that she had not eaten.

Her tone remained icy, as if she had little emotional fluctuation.

The Fox Face looked at her and remarked, "After coming all this way, I discovered that the prices in the Outer Sect are ridiculously high."

"Exactly!" Han Shuangjiang instantly agreed, with a hint of excitement.

This was the most passionate Chu Huai Xu had ever heard her sound.

Realizing that she had lost her composure somewhat, Han Shuangjiang felt a little embarrassed.

She seemed to have always been accustomed to carrying herself with restraint.

"Since you haven't eaten yet, why don't we eat together?" Chu Huai Xu said.

Han Shuangjiang instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, the other party soon uttered two words that she could not turn down.

"My treat."

Outside the Outer Sect cafeteria, there were many street stalls competing with the sect cafeteria for business.

The two of them found a breakfast stall and sat down. They ordered a bowl of small wontons, a bowl of plain noodles, and a steamer of Soup Dumplings.

That little bit of food cost a damn 180 copper coins!

"What kind of tourist attraction prices are these?" Chu Huai Xu complained inwardly.

Han Shuangjiang ate her small wontons without the slightest psychological burden.

The education she had received in the Brothel since childhood was: when a man offered his attentions, accept them calmly.

Don't think there were no simps in Brothels.

In fact, even in the twenty-first century, plenty of people went to those places for singing and touching, added the hostesses' contact information, and then desperately fawned over them.

Han Shuangjiang had no desire to keep a dog, although she certainly had the capital to do so.

Because of the stubbornness in her bones and her desire to preserve that last shred of dignity, she did her utmost to sever herself, as a person, from the education she had received since childhood, as though it had merely been a nightmare from long ago.

She was accepting Chu Huai Xu's treat now purely because she had taken good care of him after he passed out the previous night.

Of course, that was also Chu Huai Xu's stated reason for treating her.

But in truth, he was harboring a small doubt.

"Han Shuangjiang is a World Protagonist, and she also possesses the Profound Yin Physique."

"And I somehow replaced Xu Ziqing, another World Protagonist, and took over his Script."

"But the Dao Sect doesn't seem to be giving us much preferential treatment?"

"Going by the usual pattern, shouldn't such favored children of heaven be brought back to the sect and worshiped like ancestors?"

"Throw all kinds of resources at them, spoil them rotten."

Yet look at the two of them. They didn't even have living expenses.

"Are the Dao Sect higher-ups really treating everyone equally?"

Speaking of which, the only preferential treatment they had received so far might have been getting familiar faces in front of Niu Yuanshan, an influential figure in the Outer Sect.

Niu Yuanshan might think that the two of them had Sixth Elder as their backer. If they ran into trouble in the Outer Sect, he would probably lend them a hand.

The problem was that Chu Huai Xu did not want to have too much contact with Niu Yuanshan at present.

What if this turned into a meeting between undercover agents?

As for a powerhouse at elder level like Li Chunsong, he was in the Inner Sect. He was the only one who might come looking for them; they could not even see his face.

The World Protagonist sitting before him, eating small wontons with her head lowered, her manner elegant, and never once reaching for the steamer of Soup Dumplings, was indeed the thigh Chu Huai Xu most needed to cling to right now.

As everyone knew, so-called protagonists were all people blessed with profound fortune. Their paths of growth were filled with good luck, they obtained opportunities until their hands grew soft, and countless chances awaited them.

In fact, while playing "Borrowed Sword," Chu Huai Xu had learned that a large guild had accepted a lucrative group mission. The mission was to help Han Shuangjiang conquer a dungeon and assist her in obtaining an expert's inheritance!

"What is a World Protagonist?"

"A World Protagonist is someone the whole world has to revolve around!"

Chu Huai Xu's current ambition toward her was simple—ride her coattails.

Opportunities, lucky encounters, main-story dungeons. He would see whether he could get a share.

Cling to her jade-like leg and ride it to his heart's content!

In fact, the enormous Dao Sect was filled with opportunities and lucky encounters, as well as quite a few Hidden Dungeons.

Before some seniors reached the end of their lifespans, they would leave their inheritances somewhere in Mountain Beyond Mountain. Whoever was fated to find them would obtain them.

They all felt that this was how an expert should carry themselves, and proudly considered it elegant.

This trend had actually been started by the Dao Ancestor.

Before the Dao Ancestor passed away, he left behind nine mysterious inheritances, as well as that sword!

Over the long years, seven of the nine inheritances had already been found.

Without exception, everyone who obtained an inheritance became a world-shaking powerhouse!

As of now, the last person to obtain the Dao Ancestor Inheritance was the Dao Sect's current Seventh Elder, Shen Man.

She was confining herself within a boundary in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the Inner Sect. She had been comprehending it for over a year and still had not broken through.

"How hard it is to guess who will obtain the remaining two Dao Ancestor inheritances!" Chu Huai Xu joked to himself inwardly.

"Of course it'll be a World Protagonist!"

Moreover, as far as he knew, Han Shuangjiang would obtain both of those Dao Ancestor inheritances by herself.

The luck surrounding this woman was terrifying indeed!

"When 'Borrowed Sword' officially entered its Public Test, the story timeline was the year 1991 of the Xuan Calendar—in other words, next year."

"At that time, Han Shuangjiang's character introduction already described her as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Dao Sect, and she had already obtained two of the Dao Ancestor's inheritances."

According to the Dao Sect's rules, those in the Aperture Opening Stage counted as Registered Disciples. Once they officially entered the First Realm, they were promoted to Outer Sect Disciples.

Outer Sect Disciples who cultivated to the Third Realm had the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect.

"In other words, this icy beauty rose directly from the Aperture Opening Stage to the Third Realm in just one year."

"She also got her hands on both inheritances."

"When the game entered its Public Test, she had only recently entered the Inner Sect. Dao Sect players could hardly meet her, but everywhere in the Outer Sect, they could hear legends about her."

"In other words, she probably obtained the two Dao Ancestor inheritances while she was still in the Outer Sect. They were very likely both in the Outer Sect!"

After figuring this out, it was impossible for Chu Huai Xu not to have some ulterior motives.

He would cling to her thigh and ride her coattails, seeing whether he could get his hands on the Dao Ancestor inheritances.

As for whether he would enter the inheritance grounds after obtaining an inheritance—

Didn't men always lie and say they had slipped in accidentally?

Riding along without entering was your lie.

With this thought, Chu Huai Xu, who had been eating his noodles with his head lowered, lifted his head and looked at the cold-faced girl blowing softly on the steaming small wontons in her spoon.

She focused solely on eating her small wontons. She had not touched the steamer of Soup Dumplings placed between them even once.

It was like inviting someone to eat, only for the other person to awkwardly eat the bowl of staple food they had ordered while refusing to touch any of the dishes on the table.

"Interesting. She's pretty clueless, too," he thought.

Chu Huai Xu spoke up. "Have one. These dumplings are pretty good."

He was not lying. They really were delicious. On Earth, if he rented a storefront and put them on a delivery platform, the monthly sales would start at several thousand at least.

They were expensive, but the meat filling was definitely not skimped on. It was proper pork, and hot broth still trickled out of it.

Han Shuangjiang glanced up at him and used her chopsticks to pick up one.

She cautiously bit a tiny opening first, then gently blew into it before taking another bite. The meat filling, broth, and wrapper entered her mouth together.

"So tasty," the Cold-faced girl exclaimed inwardly.

But after eating one, she stopped using her chopsticks again.

He had told her to try one, and she really had only tried one.

Seeing how excessively restrained she was, Chu Huai Xu did not interfere.

There were eight dumplings in one steamer, and seven of them all ended up in his stomach.

After eating his fill, he drank some noodle broth and put down his chopsticks.

Han Shuangjiang ate too slowly. Even with small wontons, she chewed every bite carefully, and her table manners were elegant.

After all, that high-end Brothel had been grooming her to become a Top Courtesan, not merely a slutty tramp.

There were twelve small wontons in one bowl, and despite her hunger, she had only eaten two-thirds of them.

Perhaps realizing that Chu Huai Xu was staring at her, she raised her head in slight confusion and met his eyes.

Bathed in the morning light, the Fox Face's heart stirred. Without any buildup at all, he unexpectedly said,

"How about we live together from now on?"

With a clatter, the spoon fell into the bowl.

Han Shuangjiang was so startled that her beautiful eyes widened, and her long, thick eyelashes trembled faintly as her mind reeled.

"I only ate eight small wontons and one Soup Dumpling, and you already want me?"

She no longer leaned over to eat. Instead, she sat up straight.

"I'm not eating anymore."
