"What do I have to do for you to not reveal this? I'll do anything I can."
"If anyone finds out I'm a Devilish Cultivator, I'll…"
Su Yuan grabbed the slender little hand of the white-haired loli, crouching in front of her, pleading earnestly.
Question: Faced with a little girl who looks incredibly punchable but is powerful enough to instantly kill you, and you have no hypnotic treasures on hand, what do you do?
Su Yuan didn't know what kind of absurd tactics netizens would come up with, but he decided to back down.
That unique smile of the little girl was too genuine, not like an act.
Based on this alone, Su Yuan concluded that this brat was indeed a child who hadn't even grown their hair out yet!
Clearly, she was the type of cheater who had a cheat from the moment she was born, capable of easily killing weak, pitiful, helpless, ordinary people like Su Yuan!
This was way more terrifying than facing an adult from the Righteous Path!
After all, children don't know their own strength. If she got angry and actually killed him, where would he even go to seek justice?
The System's task description was too conservative!
Therefore, even though Su Yuan knew his background was completely clean and he wasn't afraid of investigation, he didn't dare to be defiant.
He'd just fool this girl for now. Once he found her parents, he'd teach her a thing or two about the harshness of the adult world!
Su Yuan thought to himself slyly.
As Su Yuan softened his stance, a hint of excitement flickered across the white-haired loli's lips.
The survival probability displayed on Su Yuan's system panel instantly jumped to 80%!
"Phew, I've managed to stabilize things, barely."
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At this moment, the white-haired loli said coolly:
"Evil big brother, don't worry, I won't hurt you."
"The reason your identity was exposed is because I have a special ability to see through Devilish Qi. Besides you and me, no one else will know your true identity."
"But in exchange, can you take me to play with you often in the future?"
"Of course, we'll be the best of friends from now on."
Su Yuan replied with a smile, feeling another wave of relief.
It was good that no third party knew about his Devilish Cultivator identity. Otherwise, even if he was innocent, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
As if he had reached some kind of agreement with the white-haired loli, a "ding dong" sound echoed in Su Yuan's ears.
[Task Progress: Survival Probability (100%/100%)] [Unbelievable, you actually survived this terrifying expert from the Righteous Path! However, in order to survive, you humiliatingly signed an unequal treaty with them!] [But a true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. When you become a Devil Venerable, history books will extensively document this experience of yours, and you will become a model for all devils!]
Heh, the familiar System was back.
But he really didn't need any history books.
Who knew if in a few hundred or a thousand years, future generations would ask why Devil Venerable Su Yuan kept the history of being a dog for a white-haired loli?
And then someone would reply: You guys don't know, this history has already been beautified. Devil Venerable Su Yuan didn't survive back then because he was a dog, but because he sold his—
He shuddered just thinking about it.
[Task Reward: Random Opportunity*! (Already distributed)] [Random Opportunity: You will be prompted when a viable opportunity appears within the next few days.]
Damn it, so this random opportunity wasn't just a treasure appearing out of nowhere?
System, you've changed!
You've become stingy!
Angrily closing the system panel, Su Yuan once again put on a smiling face for the white-haired loli.
"Little sister, what should I call you?"
The white-haired loli thought for a moment and said, "Yu Xi, Yu from rain, Xi from dawn."
"A very nice name."
Su Yuan offered a perfunctory compliment and asked, "Shall we go back to eating?"
Yu Xi nodded her little head and followed Su Yuan back to the cafeteria.
This time, Su Yuan didn't care if the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose was too nourishing and unsuitable for children. He directly put a large pile of goose meat onto the white-haired loli's plate, letting her eat her fill.
For a natural monster like her, the meat of mere Qi Cultivation Spirit Beasts wouldn't be too much for her!
But then…
This little brat would never have imagined that the tempting roasted goose before her was prepared using the Ancient Corpse Refining Method.
Will she be so scared she cries if she finds out about this? Jie jie jie!
Su Yuan stared with a smile at the little white-haired girl stuffing her face with meat.
A question involuntarily arose in his mind.
What was this little girl's intention in clinging to him?
She said she had a special talent for identifying Devilish Cultivators, which was why she could find his difference among thousands of Taihua students. Su Yuan could understand that.
But what had she done after finding him?
Apart from getting a little agitated when she didn't get her roasted goose, she had been very well-behaved the rest of the time, even actively covering up his identity as a Devilish Cultivator.
This wasn't something a righteous heroine who hated evil would do.
Could it be that she was just here to see him, a rare and fearsome Devilish Dao figure, like people visiting pandas in a zoo?
But that didn't seem right either. This girl had specifically made plans with him, asking him to take her out often. Clearly, it wasn't just about satisfying her curiosity.
"Could it be..."
Su Yuan pondered, eliminating one incorrect option after another, until only one possibility remained.
"Could it be that she's already discovered that I'm just a good person who mistakenly used evil techniques, and now she wants to constantly supervise me, preventing me from using evil techniques to do bad things and completely falling into the Devilish Dao?!"
Although this possibility sounded incredibly far-fetched, it was the only answer left.
So, this little girl, barely bigger than a speck of dust, had transcended the role of a heroine and become a true saintess?
Su Yuan's eyes widened in shock.
Even though their positions were different, why did he feel inexplicably touched?
Yu Xi, you truly have others on your mind constantly!
Su Yuan's heart softened for a moment, and he reached out to take the little white-haired girl's plate:
"Yu Xi, you can't eat too much of this goose. How about..."
"Wuuu--"
As soon as Su Yuan's hand got close, the little loli bared her small, white fangs and let out a fierce, yet adorable, growl.
Su Yuan could only helplessly retract his hand.
What could he do when she was protecting her food?
After the three of them had eaten their fill, a melodious bell rang throughout the school. Only five minutes remained until the first afternoon class.
"Big brother, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you again in a couple of days."
The little white-haired girl wiped her mouth, jumped off the stool, waved goodbye to Su Yuan, and turned to leave with a flourish.
"Farewell, Yu Xi. Come back anytime."
Su Yuan replied with a smile, but inwardly, he was plotting sinisterly.
I must find an opportunity to report anonymously. I can't let the school teachers bring their own children in anymore!
Back in the classroom, Su Yuan had just sat down and hadn't even opened his textbook when the System's signature "ding-dong" notification sounded again.
[Random Opportunity Triggered!]
[Since going undercover in the Taihua Sect, you have been in close contact with Chu Lanxi, a genius disciple of the Taihua Sect. However, to your surprise, Chu Lanxi, with his upright appearance, has long been colluding with a Devilish Dao Faction!]
[You keenly realize that to become stronger, you cannot solely rely on diligently collecting your sect's monthly allowance. You should be brave enough to take risks and engage with those underground forces operating on the fringes of the rules!]
[The greater the storm, the greater the opportunity!]
