《Killing Cockroaches In Xianxia For Self-Preservation》16. Sight Seeing, Unpleasant Sight
Advertisement
(Back To The Present)
(Bu Cai POV)
And there you have it.
The trip here had it's ups and downs, However even though I ran into one of the Timebombs (Harem members), At least I now know who to look out for the most as There can't be a worse time bomb than Cockroach's Main Wife.
And I can't say it was a completely unpleasant meeting, as although she was young, I had actually got to see the embodiment of the words 'Jade beauty', and it truly was a shocking sight if i do say so myself, At least cockroach has good taste.
Overall, this was a very insightful trip and I even got to learn how to survive by myself in both the wilderness and society, which will be a big help in the future.
Now my next plan, is to go sight seeing in this Majestic City until i can satisfy my curiosity and excitement, As who wouldn't want to see One of the most Incredible places in this World and On top of the fact that I'm in Xianxia, so it will be even cooler.
I then begin to drift into sleep, whilst looking forward for tomorrow.

(Next Day, Morning)
(Bu Cai POV)
I Wake up with contentedness, as I had been able to finally have a peaceful sleep, The bustle of people can be heard from outside the inn no matter how much the walls tried to block it out, I open the curtain which looks down on a wide street and all i can see are crowds of people(How surprising),
From old to Young. Tall to Short, Noble Cultivators as well as Poor beggars.
All Piled together in the ocean of people, Trying to get somewhere.
There was just about any type of person possible.
Although back in the village i was just bullshitting about the inspiration; In this place I truly began to feel some inspiration for a piece of art.
Excitedly, I rush off to do my routine which I could do all of, except from eating breakfast with my mother and father.
Speaking of parents...
Although throughout this trip I did miss them a lot, The Exhilaration of being able to explore this Gigantic Xianxia City, drowned away that homesickness assoon as it came.
I then left my room and went to the door of Hou's Room and knocked to signal that i was here.
However surprisingly the door swung open and I saw an room with no one in.

After looking around nervously, I noticed a note on the Bed, I read it and it told me that Hou had decided to make me experience the city alone as to help me consolidate my learning.
After reading it I then calmed down and began to head out to look for a nice place to eat with my newly acquired Wealth.
You may be wondering, why neither Hou or, I, am worried about Safety?
Well that is because No one would dare to brazenly kill in a place where a Martial Emperor stays, On top of the fact that they would be instantly neutralized the moment they let out killing intent by a bunch of powerful guards, In all honesty it wasn't worth the risk to kill in the Capital.
Plus, who would even want to kill some no name child, for no reason at all and risk their lives and future for it?
Another reason would be that even though I am not a match for any cultivators, I can still run reasonably fast, and have a talisman that can save my life from most things, the danger is negligible.
Anyways, Before I left I asked one of the servants where a Good restaurant would be found and he then told me the directions and i thanked him then ran off to see the city.
As i made my way to the restaurant, I was sure, i had the expression of a country Bumpkin, as i was completely awed by the magnificence of everything and the variety of people and things.
After arriving to the restaurant, I ordered a table for one and the waitress who was there to receive customers led me to a table with one seat on the second floor, I quite liked this seat as i could also see out from the window onto the nearby road and other shops.
I then ordered some spirit rice and spirit fish, with a side of mashed spirit potato.
As i was waiting, I looked outside and took in the view, but Soon something very obvious stood out to me.
A crowd of people were gathered around in a circle watching with amazed and excited expressions as a boy around my age, with 2 shockingly beautiful girls behind him, slapped another boy around my age on the face repeatedly, whilst the recipient was kneeling with tears forming in his eyes and an embarrassed face.
My Cockroach detecting senses were going crazy and although I wouldn't call myself a genius detective or anything,

If my eyes aren't deceiving me, this is what would be called an IRL Face-slapping moment...
And who is It that usually does the face-slapping with beauties around him In Xianxia?
THE FUCKING PROTAGANIST.
Although I wasn't particularly scared of him (definitely not), I didn't want to associate with him at all.
Unless i could get a favour out of him, so that I could force him to not slaughter my sect.
Hence I felt an intense desire to escape, however my hunger was taking over my rationality.
Plus, what are the chances that he decides to come into this exact restaurant, and go up to this exact floor to then have the small chance of exactly taking notice of me. He would probably be more interested in teasing his Jade beauties.
...Right?
After watching the scene with amusement and excitement.
As I had actually gotten to see a face slapping moment IRL by an authentic MC, I couldn't help but think how much I was missing out on by just reading it.
Although i had almost been able to move on from my past life, there was one thing that stuck with me, the Xianxia webnovels.
The fact that i would eventually be able to see real cliche troupes in the flesh, and maybe being able to do some of that arrogant shit as well really excited me (I had even practiced a couple of lines).
As I was getting lost in my thoughts...
(Third Person Pov)
A boy, followed by two incredibly cute and beautiful girls, could be seen walking up the stairs towards the second floor of the restaurant that Bu Cai was currently in.
The Had Long flowing black hair that was free and unrestrained and it moved about as he walked with vigour, He had his head held up high and his face was Incredibly handsome; He had smooth light skin, with sword like eyebrows and deep blue eyes, His facial structure was perfect and his handsomeness could be seen even though he was just a child.
He had an incredibly white and clean robe on and simple shoes, however this seemingly simple set up did not diminish his dashing features but instead made him look like a Young Immortal untouched by the mortal world and his cold and prideful attitude made him look slightly domineering.
A few more years and he would be able to make many women wet just from a glance.
Yes...
This was Long Tian.
The Fortuned One of this universe.
The two Girls following him were both Incredibly cute and would surely turn into devastating beauties once they grow up.
One had Platinum Blond Hair with Pale skin and, had a deep blue eyes that were akin to sapphires, she had a light blue robe on which made her look even more beautiful somehow. She looked a bit sick but it did not diminish her beauty at all and instead made her look more delicate and would make people want to protect her more instead.
The other Girl had Unique Purple hair and purple eyes which made her look enticing and enchanting, along with her incredibly doll like face as well as her slightly matured body, made her complete eye candy to boys and girls alike. she was dressed in servant clothes which in fact looked very good and of high quality which also increased her charms.
The Blue eyed one was called Long Xue, the sickly younger sister of Long Tian, and the Purple eyed one, was called Yue Mei, she was the long time servant and childhood friend of Long Tian.
They both had their full focus on Long Tian and ignored anyone and everything else, and their faces blushed everytime Long Tian teased them or looked at them. It was obvious to just about everyone that they were infatuated with him.
(Bu Cai Pov)
After snapping out of my reminiscence i looked around for my food and i almost had a heart attack.
Because what I saw was Long Tian, heading up to this floor with his two collecti... *Cough* girls with him, The girls were of course looking at him with intense love in their eyes and constantly tried to acquire his attention.
I couldn't help but frown a little and think about how much of a lucky cockroach like bastard he is.
I started to curse him in my head for ruining my precious breakfast time.
I was also a bit jealous (Just slightly).
However I soon i just put my focus back to the window.
Well to be honest i was just pretending as It would be an insult to my intelligence to not use [Analyse] on these gremlins.
And so 3 screens appeared in front of me, that was filled with the largest amount of Horse shit i had seen in my life (Only metaphorically, as that fucking horse in the stable was like a shitting machine)...

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
