Reborn as a Qilin, Yu Xiaogang Is a Plagiarizing Scumbag

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.

"What the heck happened?"

"Was I reincarnated as an animal?"

Ye Tian stared at his furry limbs and the tail trailing along the ground, utterly helpless.

He had been the hardest-working corporate workhorse at a company on Blue Star, putting in overtime almost every day and often staying up until one or two in the morning.

After a month of nonstop overtime left him severely sleep-deprived, he had dropped dead at his desk.

He had thought his diligent work in his previous life would earn him a good reincarnation. Who could have guessed he would come back as a beast?

He could not accept it.

"Dong'er, without you, I wouldn't even dare enter the Star Dou Great Forest. According to my calculations, the maximum age my body can withstand for a second Soul Ring should be 764 years."

"Xiaogang, you're amazing! You even calculated the exact age of the second Soul Ring your body can withstand. You're incredible!"

As Ye Tian complained about the heavens' injustice, voices reached his ears.

"Huh? Dong'er? Xiaogang?"

"Why do those names sound so familiar? Don't tell me I was reborn on Douluo Continent as a Soul Beast?"

The names brought Douluo Continent to mind. Ye Tian looked up at the man and woman approaching him.

The woman wore purple. She had breathtaking beauty and a stunning figure, while her lively eyes held a touch of youthful innocence that made people want to cherish her.

The man wore plain clothes. He was thin-faced, with neatly cropped hair and the air of a scholar.

"Dong'er, have you forgotten? Theory is what I do best."

"One day, I'll put all my theories into a book, benefit the whole Douluo Continent, and become the greatest Soul Master in the world."

Yu Xiaogang was beside himself with pride at Bibi Dong's praise.

Across all of Douluo Continent, only he could win the heart of Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden.

He had to make good use of Bibi Dong's status to spread his name throughout Douluo Continent.

"Xiaogang, that day will come."

"Once you've written the book, I'll use every resource Spirit Hall has to promote it."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's grand ambitions, Bibi Dong gazed at him with admiration, never suspecting his true purpose.

So I really was reborn on Douluo Continent. That bastard Yu Xiaogang only knows how to fool people. What brilliant theories? He's a plagiarist.

Poor Bibi Dong. You're too innocent. How could you fall for that scumbag Yu Xiaogang's lies?

He only approached you because he coveted your beauty and your status as Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden.

If you trust that scumbag, you'll regret it one day.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang talk like that nearly drove Ye Tian frantic.

He had been reborn on Douluo Continent during Bibi Dong's innocent youth, and he did not want her to repeat the mistakes of her past.

"Who's there? Who's nearby?"

An urgent voice suddenly sounded in Bibi Dong's ears. Her expression changed as she released her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul and swept a wary gaze around her.

Startled, Yu Xiaogang asked in a panic, "Dong'er, what's wrong?"

Bibi Dong did not answer. She released her Spiritual Power to sense her surroundings.

But she found no one nearby. Had she imagined the voice?

"Xiaogang, I'm fine. I might just be a little tired lately."

Bibi Dong waved a hand, withdrew her Martial Soul, and cautiously walked on.

Before long, she spotted Ye Tian and was captivated by how adorably dazed he looked.

"Wow, where did this little puppy come from? He's so cute!"

Bibi Dong trotted over, picked Ye Tian up, and held him tight against her chest while gently stroking his little head.

She smells amazing!

Bibi Dong's embrace is so soft.

Ye Tian was still racking his brains for a way to change Bibi Dong's fate. Once she picked him up, he instinctively wriggled toward the most comfortable, softest spot.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on meeting Bibi Dong and awakening the Infinite Devouring System. By continuously devouring Soul Beast bloodlines and rare treasures, the host can refine the Qilin Bloodline within him without limit and grow rapidly.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on receiving a Fate-Reversing Gift Pack. Would the host like to open it?]

"Yes!"

Ye Tian nodded instinctively.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on receiving ten Qilin Progenitor Experience Cards. In a moment of peril, they allow the host to borrow a portion of the Qilin Progenitor's supportive powers, preserve his life, and reverse his fate.]

[Ding! The host's Qilin Bloodline is still rather weak. Please grow stronger as soon as possible.]

[Note: Qilins are Auspicious Beasts, and under normal circumstances, all Soul Beasts will bow before them. However, the host may encounter evil Soul Beasts that covet the Qilin Bloodline. Until the host can protect himself, please avoid wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest.]

"So I was reborn as a Qilin. I almost thought I'd turned into a little dog."

After reading the system's explanation, Ye Tian understood his situation.

Fortunately, the system had arrived and given him a powerful advantage.

Transmigration came with a system, after all. Those Douluo fanfics had not lied to him.

Dong'er, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll change your fate. I won't let you go down that road again.

The voice sounded in Bibi Dong's ears once more. Her expression changed, and she clutched Ye Tian even tighter.

The first time might have been her imagination, but the second time was not so easy to dismiss.

Ow, that hurts!

Dong'er, ease up! If you squeeze any harder, you'll break my legs.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to ask whether Yu Xiaogang could hear it too, the voice came again.

No, it was not coming from outside. It sounded deep within her mind, and it seemed connected to the little puppy in her arms.

She really had been too nervous just now. Her arms had suddenly tightened around him with too much force.

To test her suspicion, Bibi Dong grabbed Ye Tian by the scruff of his neck with one hand and lifted him up.

Wait, Dong'er, are you seriously treating me like an ordinary puppy?

I'm an ancient Auspicious Beast, a Qilin who knows everything, can foresee the future, and knows the entire story. Anyone who gets close to me gains good fortune.

You can't treat me like this. I want that warm embrace back.

Listening to his thoughts, Bibi Dong became certain the voice came from the little puppy.

No. He was an ancient Auspicious Beast, a Qilin.

She had found a treasure!

But why could she hear the Qilin's thoughts? He even seemed to know her fate.

Could an ancient Auspicious Beast like the Qilin truly know everything and foresee the future?

Had Yu Xiaogang approached her for her looks and status? Had he plagiarized all his theories?

That could not be right. Yu Xiaogang would not lie to her.

But the Auspicious Beast had no reason to lie to her either.

Words could deceive, but thoughts could not.

At that moment, Bibi Dong began to question her feelings for Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong tucked Ye Tian back into her arms and asked, "Xiaogang, there's something I've always wondered. Your theories are so impressive. How did you develop them?"

In truth, she had her own doubts about Yu Xiaogang's theories.

Many theories required supporting research. Yu Xiaogang was not particularly old, and his talent was mediocre. How had he mastered such a vast body of remarkable theory?

Now that she thought about it carefully, there were gaps in his story.

"Uh, well..."

"Dong'er, I developed them all through my own research and insight."

The question caught Yu Xiaogang off guard. Unable to think of an answer, he tossed out a vague excuse.

Oh, please. You copied and compiled it all from books. What research? What insight?

Fine, plagiarize if you want, but a lot of the garbage theories you put together are utter nonsense.

That line about "there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters" is the biggest load of nonsense. It exposes how little he knows about theory.

If his theories really worked, would Yu Xiaogang have ended up a good-for-nothing?

No, I have to show Bibi Dong what Yu Xiaogang is really like and let her see the tragic life she had in the original story.

Ye Tian was frantic. He planned to use the Qilin Progenitor's power to show Bibi Dong her tragic fate in the original story and Yu Xiaogang's true nature.

"System, use one Qilin Progenitor Experience Card. Send her some of the original story I know so Bibi Dong can see the path her fate once followed. Better yet, let her sense what Yu Xiaogang is thinking and see him for who he really is."

P.S. This book focuses on winning over the women and making fun of Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao, and others. If that's not your thing, please don't complain. There'll be nonstop laughs and plenty of satisfying moments. Also, dear readers, please keep up with the latest chapter every day until we pass fifty thousand words. Following a new book while it's being released is crucial, so please don't leave it sitting on your reading list until it dies there. I'm counting on you!
