Artificial intelligence actually wants to learn human emotions. Shen Yimian thought with emotion, why does it have to learn this useless stuff?

But if Xie Lu wanted, Shen Yimian felt that he could still help a little.

"I'm not bragging, but when I was in high school, I was known as a love saint. Do you know how many guys pursued me? Twenty, a full twenty."

Unfortunately, they are all men, and their nickname is not "Love Saint", but "Innate Omega Holy Body".

Shen Yimian talked eloquently, and put his arm around Xie Lu's shoulders, as if he were an experienced person. "If you really want to learn, it's easy. I can teach you right now."

Xie Lu glanced at him calmly and slipped the storage ring into his palm. "Take the tuition. I'm all ears."

Seeing that he was interested, Shen Yimian no longer refused. She cleared her throat and said mysteriously, "If you want to build a relationship with someone, first of all, you can't have a stern face all the time. As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. Who would be willing to get close to you if you have a stern face? People express their emotions through facial expressions. Do you have any facial expressions?"

Xie Lu nodded.

"Cry and let me see."

A string of tears fell from his expressionless face, and he cried like a ghost collecting debts.

Shen Yimian was horrified by his crying, "Okay, I'm a little scared of you. Will you laugh?"

Xie Lu stopped crying and a slight smile appeared on his lips. To be honest, it was pretty, but once Shen Yimian thought about the fact that he was an AI, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. It seemed weird, as if the microwave oven at home was laughing.

He hadn't figured out how to describe it yet when he saw Xie Lu smiling calmly while tears streamed down his face. He said calmly, "This is a combination of two expressions."

Shen Yimian was terrified, "Who the hell asked you?"

"I researched it myself and named it Laughing and Crying."

"Shut up."

This damn machine, 2% self-satisfaction is still too high.

When Shen Yimian was thinking about how to teach him to use facial expressions, a thin woman suddenly walked in tremblingly from outside the door.

He looked slightly startled and subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist, only to see the woman running into the house excitedly, "Xiaohua, where's Xiaohua?"

Hearing the sound, Chunhua, who was sleeping in the house, opened her eyes and ran to the outer room in disbelief, not even bothering to put on her shoes, "Mom!"

"Xiaohua!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly and cried with joy.

Shen Yimian looked at Xie Lu in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Last night, while cleaning up the corpses, I found the girl's mother in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion." Xie Lu said calmly, raised his wrist to check the battery level, and whispered, "I brought her back along the way."

Hearing this, Shen Yimian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to laugh, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to avoid risks?"

"I hate avoiding risks and prefer to solve them at the source." Xie Lu deduced Chunhua's demands from just a few words between Chunhua and Shen Yimian. As long as this demand was resolved, the risk would naturally not arise again.

However, by the time he got there, Chunhua's father had already been killed by the demons, so he only brought back one person.

The mother and daughter cried for a long time. Chunhua's mother held little Chunhua and knelt in front of Xie Lu and Shen Yimian, thanking them profusely. "Thank you very much, two little immortals, for saving my life. We, mother and daughter, will never be able to repay you in this lifetime. Hua'er, kowtow to your benefactors!"

Shen Yimian hurried forward to stop them and whispered, "Exorcising demons and saving people is the duty of Yanshan disciples. Auntie, your words are too serious. Get up quickly."

Chunhua wiped her eyes, but still insisted on kowtowed to Shen Yimian and Xie Lu, "Thank you, my benefactor brothers."

"Good girl." Shen Yimian picked her up from the ground and chuckled, "I told you, Brother Xie Lu will definitely help you."

Hearing this, Chunhua looked at Xie Lu timidly. After a while, when she was about to meet Xie Lu's gaze, the little girl quickly retracted her gaze and nodded carefully in Shen Yimian's arms.

actually……

Last night she secretly ran out to look for her parents, but she was caught by Xie Lu before she got far.

It was as if she had opened her third eye. She couldn't understand how Xie Lu knew where she was and how he guessed that she would run away.

Until Xie Lu looked down at her, the tip of his cold sword dripping with blood, his eyes as cold as ice, "Didn't I say that no one can leave?"

"Not allowed, there will be no next time."

At that moment, Chunhua shuddered all over, as if the person in front of her was not a living person, but a monster no different from those masked men of the zombie demon clan. Xie Lu didn't care about her life at all and might kill her at any time.

Chunhua was so scared that she didn't even dare to cry.

After being caught, she didn't dare sleep all night and only fell asleep tired and sleepy in the early morning.

I just didn’t expect that the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was my mother.

Brother Xie Lu, is he a good guy or a bad guy?

She ate her brother's food, and her brother saved her mother. Chunhua thought timidly that he must be a good person.

At least... when his other brother was around, Brother Xie Lu looked normal and far less scary.

"I have to clean up the zombies in the City Lord's Mansion today, so I might not be back tonight."

Xie Lu took out a bunch of pancakes from his storage ring and placed them on the table. He had taken them back while scouting the City Lord's Mansion. The demons were enjoying delicacies from land and sea in the City Lord's Mansion. He had wanted to bring a few more dishes with him, but he couldn't find a suitable packing bag, so he gave up.

Shen Yimian touched the pancake, which was still hot. He picked it up and took a bite. "We've arrived at the City Lord's Mansion so soon."

"Hmm." Xie Lu made a simple estimate for a moment and gave the result, "I will probably be back after the sun sets."

The efficiency of AI is indeed extremely high. They have only been here for two days, and Xie Lu has actually cleared out all the zombies in the entire city.

Shen Yimian finally experienced the joy of being carried away. He could pass the heavenly-level mission by slacking off. It was so cool.

"Then go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for you."

Xie Lu nodded, and before turning to leave, he looked up and glanced at Shen Yimian, as if he wanted to tell her something, but then he thought of Shen Yimian's promise last night, pursed his lips, and simply didn't mention it again.

As soon as he left, Shen Yimian clearly heard the mother and daughter beside him exhale softly, as if they didn't even dare to breathe deeply when Xie Lu was around.

"This young immortal is truly majestic..." Chunhua's mother whispered with a complicated expression, "Last night, he single-handedly eliminated most of the zombies in the City Lord's Mansion. I've never seen such a scene before. It's truly astonishing and impressive."

Of course Shen Yimian knew that Xie Lu was very powerful. After all, that was the most advanced artificial intelligence technology of the future, and it was modified for military use. It would be strange if he didn't beat everything in the immortal cultivation novel.

"It's just..." Chunhua's mother seemed to want to say something, but after a while, she forced herself to hold it back. "I think with the strength of this little immortal, he will definitely be able to overcome the danger."

Avert danger

Shen Yimian keenly sensed something was wrong and asked, "What does it mean to escape danger?"

Chunhua Niang licked her dry lips nervously and leaned closer to him. "Today is the night of the red moon. Those demons will hold a sacrifice tonight. The monks who came to Yunhuai City to exorcise demons weren't killed by the zombies. They were all sacrificed during the sacrifice. They lured the monks into the sacrificial formation, and then... everyone turned to blood!"

After the words fell, Shen Yimian opened his eyes wide, "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Such important news, does Xie Lu know?

"I'm so sorry, so sorry!" Seeing his anxiety, Chunhua's mother twisted the corner of her clothes and said repeatedly, "I was so excited to see Huaer that I forgot about this matter for a moment. I thought you little immortals knew..."

Shen Yimian frowned, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Isn't this obviously the kind of plot in the novel where the protagonist fails to notice the foreshadowing and triggers unimaginable consequences?

He was in a state of confusion, but he still said, "Forget it, Auntie, don't take it to heart. He has been investigating Yunhuai City these days, so he must know about these things."

Besides, Xie Lu is so smart and cautious. He should be able to figure out what the demons are going to do with deep thinking and reasoning.

Shen Yimian pursed her lips, and the pancake in her mouth suddenly lost its taste.

Let's wait and see. Xie Lu said to come back after the sun sets. As long as we can come back on time, everything will be fine.

Even if something really happened, what else could he do to help Xie Lu besides collecting the bodies?

However, Xie Lu still hadn't returned until the sun went down.

A blood-red moon hung over the locust tree, the clock stopped, and the world was in silence. It was the third night in Yunhuai City. A sinister wind blew, and the yellow talismans rustled like dead leaves.

Shen Yimian looked at the ants crawling across the windowsill, counting them one by one, and his heart became increasingly confused.

Xie Lu has a good grasp of time. Even if he is late, it won't be too long. But it has been almost four hours since sunset. It is probably around ten o'clock in the evening. How could he be late for so long?

Could it be that... because he was wearing this Xiuyu necklace, Xie Lu had no magic weapon to protect his body, so the fight was extremely difficult?

If even a Heaven Rank disciple like Xie Lu lost and died here, could he, a Yellow Rank disciple, escape?

No matter what, it's better to go than not to go.

Thinking of this, he could no longer bear it, so he grabbed his sword and stood up to go out.

Following the map given by Xie Lu, Shen Yimian arrived at the City Lord's Mansion without any obstruction.

Just as Xie Lu said, all the zombies in the city have been cleared out, and the only thing left is to push down the defense tower.

Looking at the tall mansion shrouded in the shadow of the locust tree, Shen Yimian swallowed and carefully climbed over the wall to go in.

After entering, the furnishings inside were no different from those of an ordinary city mansion. Passing the ceremonial gate, the garden-style backyard with a small bridge and flowing water was very quiet, without any clues at all.

Shen Yimian became more and more nervous as he walked. Suddenly, two east-west corridors appeared in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, took out a Five Emperors Coin from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

Go west on the front, go east on the back. Master, please bless him and he will definitely find the path that leads to Xie Lu...

There was a clang sound as the coin fell to the ground. Just as he was about to bend over to take a look, he was suddenly knocked down by a strong arm. Before he could even scream, his mouth was covered tightly and he was dragged into the room next to him in an extremely rough manner.

It was extremely dark. He opened his eyes wide in horror, trying to see the person in front of him, but he could not see anything. He could only hear his own pounding heart, which was almost jumping out of his chest.

Suddenly, a terrifying, extremely hoarse voice came from outside the room.

"Where is that kid just now?"

"I don't know. Suddenly, there was an illusion. As soon as I saw the person clearly, he disappeared."

"try to find."

Shen Yimian's heart instantly rose to his throat. He hadn't noticed that there was someone else in the yard. When did this person start following him?

Soon, all the sounds outside the door disappeared.

The hand covering his lips finally loosened, and slowly pinched his chin, forcing Shen Yimian to raise his head stiffly.

"The talisman paper was torn again"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

When Shen Yimian heard the familiar voice, his eyes lit up, but he was blocked when he was about to speak.

"Speak softly."

Shen Yimian nodded carefully and said in the lowest voice, "No one tore the talisman paper. I saw you haven't come back for too long, and I was worried that something might happen to you, so I ran out by myself. I have important news to tell you..."

The other party was silent for a moment, and after a while, he sighed helplessly.

"Go ahead."

"My aunt said that today is the night of the blood moon. The demons will deliberately lure you into the sacrificial formation. Stay away from it!" Shen Yimian spoke out all the important information in one breath, then stood up to leave. "I'm done. I'll go back and wait for your good news!"

Before she could stand up, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and Shen Yimian fell back into Xie Lu's arms.

"Go back, the sacrifice has already begun."

They can't leave anymore.

Xie Lu looked up at the ghostly shadow outside the window, a cold look flashed across his eyes. He looked around and stuffed Shen Yimian into the closet in the inner room. Then he went in himself and quickly pasted two invisible talismans on the closet door.

This way, the wardrobe won't be noticed by the demons.

In the narrow and cramped closet, the distance between the two people was almost zero.

Their eyes met, their breaths blended, and Xie Lu stared at him straight, as if he wanted to settle the score.

Shen Yimian shrank his head and said weakly, "You can scold me if you want."

When he saw that Xie Lu was safe and sound, he knew he shouldn't have come, but he would have been too flustered if he didn't come.

A very low sigh came from above his head, and Xie Lu reached out to wipe the sweat from Shen Yimian's forehead.

"I won't scold you. I'm also at fault. After all, I was late first and made you worry."

After a pause, he pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, are you interested in taking an intelligence test? Of course, I'm just a little curious about the results, and I absolutely don't mean to question your IQ."
