Due to his concerned thoughts about his lover"s ident.i.ty, he slept anxiously that night with vague nightmares. Sensing his emotions, the little beast and Xiao Hei whined on the bed and outside the door, looking pitiful and adorable.
“I"m fine, you guys be good.” He might as well stay awake. He got up and opened the door to let Xiao Hei in, then turned back to the bed and sat down. He pet the two beasts, then gathered the little beast in his arms and pinched his ears, his eyes holding a bit of worry, “Are you like this because your original injury was very serious? It"s too bad that Tongtian cannot figure out what your problem is from scanning you. I don"t dare to feed you random pills….. Ji Huaijin, if you can understand me, come out and see me. I"m very worried."
Xiao Hei echoed his sentiment with an "awoo"
The little beast"s ears twitched but his eyes still showed confusion. His tail happily coiled around Ye Zhizhou"s wrist and he focused on stuffing himself in his arms.
“You heartless guy.” He hugged the beast tightly, bowed his head to kiss him and then laid back on the bed. “Does this mean I am going to have to raise my lover as my son or a pet in this life…"
Suddenly feeling a weight on his body, paired with the strand of silvery hair that swept to the side of his face, he snapped his head up to see a handsome silver-haired male expressionlessly sitting on his waist.. Being stark narked, he opened his mouth to vulgarly say “Xiao Yuan, you are still too young, not suited for mating”
What the h.e.l.l?
Ye Zhizhou got up and threw himself into Ji Huaijin"s arms as he grabbed the ears on top of his head while saying, “You still know how to appear!”
“I agree to be your lover.” Ji Huaijin embraced him and bowed his head to let him pinch his ears. His tail swept in front of him to block his important bits, “My back, my soul, only belongs to you.”
He was puzzled, “Your back?”
“Once I recover, you don"t need to ride on the Shihun beast when you travel anymore. The negative qi on his body is too strong, he"s not suitable to be a mount.”
Xiao Hei let out a grieving ‘awoo" and leaned over to arch against him.
Ji Huaijin patted him placatingly and then gave a thread of his original energy to Xiao Hei, who felt like he hit the jackpot. He tactfully ran out of the room to absorb it and laid down in the living room to digest.
Ye Zhizhou turned his head to look at Xiao Hei bewilderedly, “What did you give him? He looks so happy.”
“A little reward.” Ji Huaijin brought his head back to him, looked at him with a slight frown and asked, “Are you dealing with the Lian family?”
“You know?” He was surprised, and then his expression became a little strange. “When you transform into the little beast, aren"t you very stupi—… Ah, really childish and cute?” With a foolish look like you don"t know anything….
“I know things, but I can"t control my body. I can only let my body"s instincts control it.” Ji Huaijin turned over and gathered him into his arms and stroked his hair. “Xiao Yuan, there"s something strange on Lian Yizheng"s body. Don"t get too close to him. Wait until I recover, I"ll help you deal with him.”
“Something strange? In what aspect?” Ye Zhizhou thought of Ji Mengxue"s words from this afternoon and promptly asked, “Are you from the Ji family of the Imperial City? There are saints in every generation of their family.”
“Not quite.” Ji Huaijin frowned. “I belong to the main family, while the imperial city"s Ji family belongs to the branch family. Back then, the reason why Ji Quan plotted against me was to fight for the family position and resources. As for what"s strange about Lian Yizheng… I smelled Ji Quan"s scent on him, but it"s been 100 years since Ji Quan died. He should have already entered the reincarnation cycle long ago. The specific details will have to wait until I fully recover, and can go to investigate. Before that, Xiao Yuan, you can"t do anything rash. Right now, my powers are at most up to the third tier, it might not be enough to protect you."
Ye Zhizhou went through the plot over and over again in his mind, and suddenly remembered the place where the protagonist had acquired the sacred cultivation book. He asked quickly, “Do you know of a place called Heilian Peak? That"s where Lian Yizheng got his cultivation method."
“Heilian Peak?” He seems to have recalled something, as Ji Huajin"s expression sank sharply while his body emit a strong sense of oppression. “In that place there is an ancient broken forbidden array. Legends say it can revive a person, but the details as to how it works were lost. Ji Quan fled in the direction of that place after I seriously injured him. If he actually did use that forbidden array by force… Before it can be activated, the forbidden array needs the sacrifice of eighteen close blood relatives. That G.o.dd.a.m.n Ji Quan! He"s seriously gone insane, completely inhumane!”
Ye Zhizhou quickly embraced and comforted him, his heart feeling a bit heavy. Lian Yizheng"s cultivation really is eccentric. He thought about it for a while, but still could not wrap his head around it. If the purpose of Lian Yizheng"s cultivation is to help revive Ji Quan…
“Xiao Yuan, be careful.” Ji Huajin lowered his head and abruptly kissed his forehead. After a burst of golden light, there was nothing under Ye Zhizhou"s legs, and he dropped onto the bed in a sitting position. He looked down to see the silly little beast lying p.r.o.ne on the bed, looking at him foolishly. The little beast let out an “awoo” before happily arching towards his embrace. “Daddy!”
The ident.i.ty switching always happens too suddenly making it hard for him to prepare for it…. Holding the little beast tightly, he laid down on the bed. He opened the system information, no longer skipping the p.o.r.n book section, and carefully examined it word by word. The Demon King killing the protagonist"s children at the end of the story always gave him an indescribable feeling. Now he knows that the Demon King is actually Ji Huaijin, and Ji Huaijin and Ji Quan have an old history between them. The protagonist"s cultivation method was also very likely from the forbidden array and Ji Quan…
If everything done by the protagonist after his rebirth was in order to resurrect Ji Quan… What did the protagonist do after his rebirth?If everything done by the protagonist after his rebirth was in order to resurrect Ji Quan… What did the protagonist do after his rebirth? First, revenge on his fiancee who had withdrawn her engagement; then to raise eyebrows and breathe and gain a lot of attention from his family; spread his name everywhere, and attend the best school. Later, he beds girls nonstop… After sleeping with six sisters, he began to concentrate on his cultivation. A few years later, he went from Earth Rank to Saint Rank, and the female leads also quickly broke through to Saint Rank. Then in the same year, all of the female leads gave birth to a child for him…
A thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly brought out the apt.i.tude of the female leads and their ranks when they met the protagonist. After an a.n.a.lysis, he frowned fiercely. When the female leads encountered the protagonist, there was a large strength gap between them. The strongest one, Hong Yin, had already reached the eighth level of Earth rank. If she kept on training she would soon break through to Sky rank. The weakest two sisters, Jiang Yun and Jiang Yue, were only ninth level of the Black rank, but they were all, without exception, the inheritors of orthodox martial arts . Their strength is all cultivated bit by bit by themselves, extremely different from the protagonist who needed to use double cultivation to improve his strength significantly. Most importantly, they were all born with an innate talent to reach Sky Rank!
Flipping through the plot information, he carefully checked the female leads" cultivation situation after meeting the protagonist, and his face became completely black. After getting into a relationship with Hong Yin, the protagonist was very infatuated with her for a while, pestering her every day, and ignoring the two sisters Jiang Yun and Jiang Yue. It was during this period that the protagonist"s cultivation began to advance rapidly, while Hong Yin, who had signs of a breakthrough, suddenly stagnated. No matter how hard she cultivated, she did not improve until the protagonist"s affection shifted to Ji Mengxue. Only then did she slowly start to recover.
This kind of situation where a female lead experienced their cultivation stagnating after getting into a relationship with the protagonist happened more than once. After entering a relationship with the protagonist, both Ao Feng and Lian Hua experienced this stagnation. At that time, the women had thought it was caused by an accidental pregnancy… So the protagonist"s cultivation method is not a double-cultivation method at all, but the most disgusting arts of stealing another"s cultivation and making it his own! Hong Yin and the other female lead"s cultivation stagnated because their Wuhun, which they painstakingly cultivated, was again and again stolen by the protagonist during papapa!
Ye Zhizhou turned off the screen angrily. He was fuming with anger, close to having smoke spew from his ears ! No wonder the protagonist needed so many wives—it was in fear of accidentally taking too much from one of them permanently hurting their root—so have them take turns, right? Sc.u.m protagonist! And the fact that the women had children right after entering Saint Rank, most probably had something to do with the protagonist"s forbidden array! It"s simply extremely disgusting!
Suddenly, the little beast sleeping in his arms opened his eyes, got up and lowered his body while making a threatening growl towards the window. Xiao Hei, who was lying in the living room, also shot up. His body was quickly surrounded by a thin fog and he stood in front of Ye Zhizhou, facing the window in front of him vigilantly.
He frowned and also looked out the window.
Right now was the darkest time of the morning. It was pitch black outside the window, making it difficult to discern anything. The spiritual energy he sent out found nothing wrong. Remembering Lian Yizheng"s eerie expression when he left this afternoon, he became alert and quietly took out a long sword from his s.p.a.ce and tightly grasped it in his hand.
During this period, his strength has improved rapidly, but he is still a little unfamiliar with the manipulation of Wuhun, if it was the protagonist who came… He hoped that he had the strength to put up a fight.
“It really is you! Why did you come here, what do you want to do?"
“Mind your own business and f.u.c.k off! “
“Today, I want to mind your business!”
[The probability of Hong Yin and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fourth soul flag has been pulled out. Congratulations to the host, may the host persist in his efforts]
Hong Yin?
He quickly stuffed the little beast into his arms, patted Xiao Hei to placate him, opened the room"s window and jumped down directly. The two people"s voices just now were clearly Hong Yin and Lian Yizheng. Why was Hong Yin here in the middle of the night?
In the dark alley behind the shop, Hong Yin had already started to fight with Lian Yizheng. Although both of them were Earth Rank and Hong Yin had slightly higher strength, the way the protagonist fought was more unorthodox, making it difficult for her. Ye Zhizhou turned himself and landed on the ground, sending his spiritual power to attack the protagonist without saying a word. At the same time, he also mobilized the small fireball in his Dantian and directed the unfamiliar power into his hands. He guided the power into the long sword aimed at the protagonist and fiercely attacked him.
“Another Earth Rank?” Lian Yizheng who was attacked from two sides, found himself stuck in a difficult situation. When he turned to look at the one who had ambushed him, he found it was actually the jewelry store"s little boss. His expression twisted for a moment. “I didn"t expect that you"re also a Wu user!”
Hong Yin was also somewhat surprised, and then she snorted happily. She said, “Little boss"s disguise is so good, even I didn"t realize your ident.i.ty as a Wu user This b.a.s.t.a.r.d snuck in here to harm you, and I caught him red-handed while I was here. What will you do? How about castrating him?
Why does everyone want to castrate the protagonist? Ye Zhizhou"s eyes showed a slight smile. He raised the sword in his hand with his lips curved up. “With pleasure.” Although he has been castrated already.
Lian Yizheng"s sore spot was poked as he listened to them talk about castrating him. Angered, he rushed forward to attack them without a care. Hong Yin rushed forward to block it. Ye Zhizhou knew that although he had the strength, he had no skills. He was just a flower vase, so he stood away from the fight and just threw in a few blows once in a while.
After getting wounded in succession, Lian Yizheng couldn"t help shouting angrily, “Two against one, despicable!”
Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and threw another blow.
Hong Yin recognized that the other party was still a student of Xianwu College. She did not aim to hurt him when she attacked him. After she immobilized him, she tied him up and easily knocked him unconscious.Then she grabbed him by some loose hair and looked at Ye Zhizhou to say, “This person, I"ll send him to the college"s isolation room for a while. I"ll see if I can report him to an official or expel him out of school.”
“It"s been hard on you” Ye Zhizhou put away his sword and made a warrior salute to her. “Thank you so much for today.”
“You"re welcome. I was bored and couldn"t sleep, so I went out for a walk to try my luck. I didn"t expect to really catch this sc.u.m.” Hong Yin waved her hand and sighed, “Mengxue said she had contacted her family, but her family actually wanted her to not be too nosy. They even said that this sc.u.m is also some young genius and she"d better make friends…, heh. A young genius, Mengxue was so angry she tossed and turned in bed all night… It was all because of this sc.u.m!”
His train of thought couldn"t help turning crooked at the words “tossing all night”. Ye Zhizhou was startled by his vulgar thoughts and coughed, advising Hong Yin, “The matter of Lian Yizheng definitely can"t be easily taken care of. His Saint Rank grandfather is particularly unreasonable, you should not involve yourself in this. Don"t worry, someone will clean him up.” As for the att.i.tude of Ji"s family… He now has some suspicion that the Ji family is aware of Lian Yizheng"s connection with Ji Quan.
The little beast in his arms wagged his tail and closed his eyes.
Hong Yin"s mood was still somewhat bad, she didn"t want to talk too much. After saying a simple goodbye to him, she walked away while dragging Lian Yizheng behind her.
Ye Zhizhou watched her walk away, glanced down at Lian Yizheng, who was being dragged face down by her, and began to contemplate. The zombie virus can make the protagonist"s tool into a cold and dead piece of meat. If Hong Yin drags him like that.. It won"t directly drop straight off, right?
“Daddy!”
He bowed his head and met the little beast"s innocent and ignorant gaze. He put away all kinds of dirty thoughts with a guilty conscience and pushed the little beast further into his arms.
The next day, it was spread throughout Xianwu that Lian Yizheng—the famous new student—was caught by his teacher while exploring a jewelry shop at night and was thrown into the confinement room. They were curious and admiring, but envious and jealous of this legendary figure who went from Yellow Rank to Sky Rank. Now that this big gossip had came out, all the students were talking enthusiastically about it. For some time, rumors were flying all over the college, and also bringing some popularity to Ye Zhizhou"s small jewelry store.
Three days later, both the Lian family and Ji family sent people. The rumors were quickly curbed and clarified, and Lian Yizheng was released. Ji Mengxue did not go to school for a few days, and Hong Yin was suspended from her job by the school. Ye Zhizhou was very worried by this, but there was nothing he could do about it. The little beast wagged his tail happily in his arms, and the mark on his forehead flashed with a faint light from time to time.
It was time for another storytelling meeting. The four female leads who had not gathered for a long time appeared together again, but their expressions were not very good.
Ye Zhizhou glanced at them and tapped the table with the gavel a few times. He continued telling the story that was not finished last time, and then ended the storytelling meeting ahead of time. As expected, all four female leads stayed, they did not have any intention of leaving.
“What"s wrong?" Ye Zhizhou changed their tea for them and asked casually. Through the bridges of jewelry and storytelling, he established a deep revolutionary friendship with the several female leads and they have also quickly became friends with each other. Everyone spoke easily with each other.
“My d.a.m.n old man actually promised me to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lian Yizheng!” Ao Feng was the first one who couldn"t hold back and pounded the table. “What kind of person that man is, you can find out by just casually asking around in the college. I don"t know what my family is thinking, saying that he is a young genius whose behavior is just a bit uninhibited. That is called uninhibited? It"s obviously shameless! I absolutely won"t marry that person!”
Hong Yin sneered, “That group of fossils with brain problems in Xianwu College actually asked me to apologize to Lian Yizheng, or they want me to get out of the school. If they want me to leave, I will leave! Do they think I can"t live without Xianwu?"
Ji Mengxue looked at her anxiously. For the first time, she did not have a smile on her face. Her mood was very depressed. “It"s all because I got you involved…”
“It has nothing to do with you. Don"t think too much.” Hong Yin grabbed her hand in a hurry to soothe her, and her expression eased a little.
“Didn"t you guys hear about it?” Lian Hua took off the veil on her face, revealing a beautiful face covered with frost, “In Cangzhou city there were two young girls who died after being sucked dry of their Wuhun. I didn"t expect the people above to suppress the news so hard that even the Ji family and Ao family didn"t know about it.”
The several female leads and Ye Zhizhou were shocked. Their expressions changed greatly, “Is what you"re saying true?”
“It"s true, although the Saintess has no real power, it is useful for inquiring about information,,” Lian Hua laughed at herself and took out a letter. “This is what I copied from the letters between the Lian family and the lord of Cangzhou. Read it yourselves. That Lian Yizheng… he"s not human!”
[The probability of love between Lian Hua and the protagonist has been reduced to 0%. The fifth soul flag has been pulled out. Congratulations to the host, may the host persist in his efforts ]
Ao Feng was the first to take the letter and skim through it. Her face became gloomy. “My family actually asked me to marry a murderer! Do they want me to die early? And this lord of Cangzhou, I thought he was a good man, but I didn"t expect that he would even shelter a murderer!”
[The probability Ao Feng and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, the sixth soul flag has been pulled out, congratulations to the host.
[Detecting mission completion…]
[Detection failed …Detecting again… Warning, the sixth soul flag has been restored and transferred to Hua Yan"s soul. Host, please pay attention. ]
Ye Zhizhou"s heart sank. He quickly took the letter and looked at it. He took a deep breath to press down the anger in his heart. He asked, “Do you know who Hua Yan is? She may be in danger." This time, the soul flag was transferred directly. There wasn"t even any hint about a change in the plot! The protagonist most likely may not simply just want to take advantage of this Hua Yan girl!
“Hua Yan?” Lian Hua"s expression changed and became nervous, “Wh-what about her? She is the little daughter of the lord of Cangzhou City. She has been in poor health since she was young. It was her who helped me get this letter.
“Is she also born with the talent to reach Sky Rank?”
“More than that.” Lian Hua shook her head, “She also has a Pure Spirit body. The position of the Saintess should have been hers but her health has never been good, so I volunteered to replace her…” After saying this, she suddenly remembered the contents of the letter and jumped up in surprise. “Does Lian Yizheng want to… to…”
Ye Zhizhou nodded and could not help but clench his fist. He also had a terrible guess on whether the protagonist"s crazy cultivating behaviour was to restore a function that had been deposed of… His eyes glanced over the letter on the table, and a trace of killing intent emerged in his heart.
Two human lives, two innocent girls. The protagonist of this world really deserved to die! If he hadn"t castrated the protagonist then, would the two girls not have to…
The little beast sleeping in the corner suddenly woke up, turned around and rushed into his arms. His tail wrapped around his wrist, and his tongue kept licking his face, as if to soothe him. The dark feelings in his heart lessened a bit. He hugged the little beast tightly, looked towards the four female leads who all had ugly expressions on their faces, and lowered his gaze.
Thinking too much about it right now is useless, the protagonist of this world must die!
Those poor girls D: The protagonist of this arc really needs to die!!
