Yu Tianheng's mouth curled into a smirk.
"What kind of trash dares squat outside our academy?"
Yu Feng immediately chimed in. "Exactly! Look at that shabby appearance. He's practically soiling our floor tiles!"
Osler nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right!"
Dugu Yan folded her arms and glanced at Lin Jiang without saying a word.
At school, she'd long since grown used to the three of them bullying the weak.
Yu Tianheng shoved his hands into his pockets and sauntered over.
He deliberately kept his head up as he walked, pretending not to see anyone in front of him, and kicked at Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang dodged to the side.
"What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Yu Tianheng looked down at him condescendingly. "Hey, kid, where are you from? Never heard of the great Yu Tianheng?"
He took a step forward and tapped the ground where Lin Jiang was squatting with his toe. "You're in the way. Got it? Get lost!"
Lin Jiang tilted his head up and looked at the face that bore a striking resemblance to Yu Xiaogang's.
He ranted inwardly: Well, well. That swagger, that punchable expression—no wonder he came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He's maxed out his points in showing off, hasn't he?
But he kept his face impassive.
Yu Tianheng?
Then the green-haired young lady beside him must be Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Immortal Grade Herbs.
The pieces instantly fell into place in Lin Jiang's mind.
The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
Perfect. Time to teach you a lesson, Yu Tianheng.
Lin Jiang stirred his thoughts.
[System, lock onto target: Dugu Yan!]
[Distribute the Simulator!]
The system's voice rang out in his mind once again—
[ Ding! The Simulator has been distributed to the target: Dugu Yan!]
[Host, please write the simulated life content!]
Lin Jiang raised his head and met Dugu Yan's cold gaze.
Sorry, miss.
You're about to get thoroughly fooled.
Just then, a voice suddenly exploded inside Dugu Yan's mind:
[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You've bound the Life Simulator! Use the Simulator to obtain rewards from your simulated life!]
Dugu Yan: "??? What the heck?"
She instinctively looked around.
Yu Tianheng was still showing off, Yu Feng and Osler were still playing along, and the six-year-old kid was still squatting in the corner.
No one reacted.
"Hm? Yan Yan's right!" Yu Tianheng turned to her, thinking she was backing him up. "What kind of trash are you?!"
Yu Feng immediately chimed in. "Big Sister's mighty!"
Dugu Yan: "..."
So they didn't hear it? Was I hallucinating?
[Current number of simulations available: 1]
[Would the host like to begin a simulation?]
Dugu Yan froze.
Again?
She tentatively replied in her mind: Begin simulation?
[Simulation begins—]
[Age 0: You were born. Dugu Bo was overjoyed. The Dugu Family had few members, and at last, a granddaughter had been born.]
[However, your mother died in childbirth.]
Dugu Yan's mouth twitched.
Damn you.
You're digging up my family secrets right off the bat?
[Age 3: Your father died young from Martial Soul backlash. You became your grandfather Dugu Bo's only concern.]
Dugu Yan fell silent.
She never told outsiders about these things.
How... does this thing know?
[Age 6: Your Martial Soul Awakening took place. The Jade Scale Snake appeared, naturally carrying poison. You were classified as a control-type Soul Master and began learning the use of poison from your grandfather.]
[Age 12: You entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy and became a genius student singled out for special development.]
[Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan learned that you were Dugu Bo's granddaughter and began pursuing you like crazy.]
Dugu Yan glanced at Yu Tianheng, who was busy showing off.
Pursuing me like crazy?
This?
He puts on a sour face every day and struts around like a peacock showing off its feathers. That's what you call pursuing me like crazy?
[You were selected for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Reserve Team together.]
[One day, you encountered a six-year-old child named Lin Jiang at the academy gates.]
[Out of habit, you stepped forward to bully him—]
[Then Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and Osler were beaten up by that child.]
Dugu Yan's pupils contracted.
She whipped her head around and looked at the child in rough clothes by the wall.
Six years old.
Lin Jiang.
This kid squatting on the ground?
Yu Tianheng and the other two got beaten up by a six-year-old???
What a joke!
Yu Tianheng was a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Yu Feng and Osler weren't pushovers either!
How could they be beaten by a...
She sized Lin Jiang up and down.
He looked completely harmless.
That's it?
[Yu Tianheng was punched flying, Yu Feng was kicked to the ground, and Osler lay sprawled on the floor calling for his mother.]
[You stood to the side, dumbfounded.]
[Furious with humiliation, Yu Tianheng vowed to have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hunt Lin Jiang down. Lin Jiang's fate was unknown from that point on. But you didn't pay it any mind.]
[He was just some brat from the roadside. If he died, so be it.]
[Several years later, you represented Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, but failed to win the championship.]
[Yu Tianheng continued pursuing you like crazy. You agreed to be with him.]
[You got married.]
[Dugu Bo became an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strength increased greatly.]
Dugu Yan's lips curled slightly as she read.
This ending doesn't seem too bad. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the Upper Three Sects, after all. Grandpa would surely be very happy too.
However—
[On your wedding night, Yu Tianheng did not come to the bridal chamber.]
Dugu Yan: ???
[For several days in a row, he made excuses about being busy.]
Dugu Yan frowned.
He chased me for all these years, finally got me, and still won't touch me?
[You began to suspect something. Would a normal man leave his bride alone on their wedding night?]
[You probed and pressed him for answers. Yu Tianheng only said he was cultivating, brushing you off every time.]
[The more you thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. You began secretly searching for clues.]
[Until one night—]
[Yu Tianheng was talking with his father in the study.]
Dugu Yan held her breath.
[Inside the study, candlelight flickered.]
[Yu Tianheng kept his head lowered, his face full of irritation. His father stood by the window, his back to him.]
["Tianheng, if you keep avoiding her like this, Yan Yan will get suspicious."]
["Father, I..." Yu Tianheng clenched his fists. "What do you expect me to do? I..."]
[His father sighed. "At the very least, you have to keep her under control. We've been plotting for so many years, and it took everything to bring Dugu Bo into the clan. We can't let it all go to waste."]
[Yu Tianheng fell silent.]
["But my body..." His voice grew softer and softer. "I'm impotent... She'll find out sooner or later."]
Dugu Yan's mind went vroom.
What???
Impotent???
Yu Tianheng! Impotent!!!
Her eyes widened.
That Yu Tianheng who showed off in front of her every day and had pursued her for years—
Was a good-for-nothing???
[His father was silent for a moment, then turned around, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.]
["Doesn't the Jade Scale Snake of the Dugu Family carry poison that harms its own wielder?"]
["Let's... add a little poison to Yan Yan's food."]
["That way, she'll be free of her suffering sooner."]
["And you'll be free too."]
["Dugu Bo will only think she died from the backlash of her own poison."]
["He'll have no choice but to serve our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"]
