Chapter 9 - Watching a movie and cliches

The movie catalog startled Su Mingyue so much that he involuntarily raised his eyebrows. It turned out to be so vast and diverse that it was no different from what he was used to on his home planet.

Action movies, science fiction, horror, romance…

Dozens of different genres with a huge number of films and even hundreds of reviews from viewers who have already watched these pictures.

If he were an ordinary cultivator, he would be so impressed by this place that he would try to buy it or become a regular customer.

"What a wonderful place..." — In parallel with Su Mingyue's thoughts, Mu Qianying was deeply impressed by the current location. It was something new and exciting. For someone who had spent her entire life cultivating, this was truly an unimaginable sight.

"Why haven't I heard of this place before? I guess I just wasn't interested..." — She shook her head in regret.

— Master, here's some fresh juice. — Su Mingyue handed her a glass.

There were only two of them in the VIP room. They could observe what was happening below, but no one could see inside.

This allowed them to stay in solitude with each other.

— Yes. — Mu Qianying's tense face relaxed slightly as she picked up a glass of juice and took a sip.

— What movie are we going to watch? — Mu Qianying asked with a hint of expectation, after all, this was her first experience and she gradually relaxed, forgetting about hatred for the moment.

— The romantic movie 'I didn't want to fall in love with you! — Su Mingyue replied curtly.

To be honest, he hadn't expected to find such a rare treasure among the vast array of movies.

"A romantic movie..." — Mu Qianying muttered to herself, her eyes wide open.

"Does he really consider this a date?" — The cult leader couldn't help but wonder, feeling a slight temptation.

Mu Qianying couldn't understand what Su Mingyue meant by the pretext of watching a romantic movie together in the same room.

Although it seemed like an absurd idea and even a blatant lack of knowledge, she didn't mind at all.

Soon, the movie began.

"The main character of the movie was a mortal man who, after getting into trouble and being on the verge of life and death, accidentally met an immortal woman, the heroine of the movie.

After a brief conversation, she discovered that the mortal man had an incredible talent and physique that was only seen once in tens of thousands of years.

Naturally, she couldn't ignore this, so she decided to become his master."

"Isn't this similar to us..." — Mu Qianying couldn't take her eyes off the screen, and she felt like the heroine was her and the mortal boy was Su Mingyue.

"Naturally, the mortal boy couldn't refuse the mysterious lady's offer, and after some hesitation, he decided to cultivate.

She took him to a sect.

After a while, the mortal boy grew up, and the master, who had always been cold, began to see him as a man.

After many obstacles and difficulties, they finally met again and got married.

The movie ended with a happy ending. The evil was defeated, and the power of love prevailed."

The movie perfectly captured the feeling of how one choice can change your entire life. Even Mu Qianying's gaze became confused for a moment, as she was immersed in memories of her first encounter with Su Mingyue, and soon, her last.

For her, these were special memories that even if she wanted to forget, it would be impossible.

Mu Qianying sighed slightly, to be honest, she really enjoyed the movie and even gave her hope that the future could be changed.

But, hatred was not something that could be easily abandoned, even though she did not want to kill him at the moment, Mu Qianying was certain that if Su Mingyue gave her even one reason, she would not hesitate to take his life.

— One choice can change fate… This is a wise phrase that can accurately explain the fate of cultivators. — Su Mingyue muttered after watching the movie.

— Really, to decide to live or die. — Mu Qianying agreed with him.

Ding!

[Congratulations host, you've made a giant breakthrough in your relationship with the heroine again. Mu Qianying's current hatred is: 80 points. You have received 100 favor points. Reminder: The system store has been unlocked, and you can now make purchases.]

"It was worth it..." — Su Mingyue thought.

Slowly, step by step, he planned to get rid of Mu Qianying's hatred and, if the situation was favorable, try to win her over.

The thought that the strongest woman in the world could become his ultimate trump card made him excited.

No danger or heroines... Wouldn't that be magical?

*****

— Master, do you think there is a real love? — Su Mingyue asked.

After the movie ended, for some reason, Mu Qianying did not want to return to the cult and decided to walk with him through the night city of the Setting Moon.

There was nothing to do and he didn't have time to prepare any other entertainment, so they just had to take a walk in the fresh air.

— I don't believe it. — She said firmly. — People are naturally prone to betrayal, and at any moment, the person you trust the most can stick a knife in your back. — She whispered with a little hatred in her voice.

— You're right. — Su Mingyue nodded without hesitation, completely agreeing with her words. And it wasn't a fake answer, he really meant it. In this world, trust comes last.

— Hey, pretty lady, would you like to keep me company? — A loud voice behind them made them turn around.

"How about without cliches?" — Su Mingyue thought with a sigh, guessing what would happen next.

A young man appeared from a dark alley with several henchmen in white coats. He had a pig-like face, short stature, and a vulgar expression. His henchmen, five or six people, could not be proud of their appearance either.

— Pretty woman, my name is Xiao Long and I am a direct disciple of the Lotus Sect. Do you want to join me and my friends for the evening? — He asked with a smile, looking at Mu Qianying with a burning gaze.

It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl, and he knew that he couldn't miss out on such a big catch.
