Synopsis:

On the first day of summer break in his senior year of high school, Chi Yu was

by the system

bundled up and tossed into a

Long Aotian

novel and ordered to eliminate the main villain, Xie Xiyi.

Chi Yu took a look at the thoroughly vicious, monstrously evil villain, whose entire body was poisonous, whose single strand of hair could dissolve a Nascent Soul cultivator's physical body, and who held a pile of Ten Thousand Souls Banners refined from the souls of prodigies.

His pupils quaked. Who's fighting the villain? Me?

*

According to the walkthrough the system provided, Chi Yu needed to become the person Xie Xiyi trusted most to seize his fortune. Then, as the villain's most trusted person, he could deliver a fatal blow, eliminate the villain, and save the world.

The walkthrough offered three routes with high chances of success-becoming Xie Xiyi's fairy godfather, lackey, or beloved.

The first time, Chi Yu chose fairy godfather. Before he could get his heartwarming words of encouragement out, Xie Xiyi ran him through with a sword. Game over.

The second time, Chi Yu chose lackey. He tirelessly proclaimed his loyalty to Xie Xiyi and swore to follow him to the death. Xie Xiyi pierced his heart with a sword. Game over.

The third time, Chi Yu, a straight man incapable of taking the beloved route, defected on the spot when he saw Xie Xiyi again. He clung to his leg and sobbed, "Boss, I was forced into this! The system made me do everything! It told me to win your trust, steal your fortune, and then stab you in the back! Aaaaah!"

*

Later, Chi Yu got his wish and became an accessory attached to Xie Xiyi's leg. Although his body was covered in forbidden curses, his life was safe, and Chi Yu was perfectly content.

Later still, Xie Xiyi hauled Chi Yu into bed and dissolved the thing protecting his backside with one palm strike. His laughter was seductive. "Guarding against me?"

Chi Yu: "..."

Fuck! Aaaaaaah!

Mini theater 1:

Xie Xiyi asked Chi Yu, "Are you hiding anything else from me? Confess everything."

Chi Yu scratched his head. "Being immune to your poison?"

The corners of Xie Xiyi's pale lips curled up, revealing his most radiant smile yet. "Excellent. I can touch you now."

At the time, Chi Yu had no idea just how far Xie Xiyi meant to go with that "touch."

By the time he finally found out, Chi Yu was filled with regret.

If you confessed everything, getting screwed was only to be expected, right? (x)

Mini theater 2:

Chi Yu: "Your poison's giving me a stomachache. I really can't take it. Can we break up?"

Xie Xiyi: "Heh."

One-line synopsis: Do I have to be the wife?

Theme: Your destiny lies in your own hands.

Chapter 1: Could you give me your earring?

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to."

Outside Jinxiu Pavilion, a boy accidentally bumped into a richly dressed young gentleman. With a perfectly natural air, he pressed his palms together in apology, backing away as he apologized. Just as he was about to turn and leave, the young gentleman he had bumped into shouted, "Stop right there! You think you can bump into me and get away with a single apology?"

With that, the black-clad guards behind the young gentleman slowly surrounded the boy, clearly intending to hem him in.

The boy: "..."

He stopped and turned to look at the young gentleman. The boy was beautiful, with red lips, white teeth, and eyes as dark as lacquer. His features held a spirited, soaring air. Even confronted with this scene, he showed no fear. A brilliant smile appeared on his face, a deep dimple showing in his left cheek. With an unhurried composure all his own, he asked, "Then what do you want?"

The young gentleman glanced at the boy's somewhat ragged clothes and said contemptuously, "You stepped on my shoe. Do you know how expensive these shoes are? You couldn't afford a single gold thread on them in your entire life. I want you to kneel and lick my shoes. Lick them clean, and I'll let you go."

Chi Yu: "..."

He hadn't stepped on this young gentleman's shoes at all. The man was simply using the incident as an excuse to humiliate him.

But what was with these lines? Why did they sound so crowded with familiar faces?

Ling Hezhou spoke quietly from the Soul-Guarding Pearl earring beside his ear. "Just give him some spirit stones as compensation. Don't make trouble."

Chi Yu ignored him and said calmly, "And if I won't kneel, what will you do?"

The young gentleman said menacingly, "Then you'll die a horrible death!"

Chi Yu: "Then you'll die a horrible death."

Their voices rang out at the same time.

The young gentleman: "..."

Chi Yu: "You dare make a fool of me?"

The young gentleman: "You dare make a fool of me?"

Chi Yu: "You refuse to do this the easy way, so we'll do it the hard way."

The young gentleman raged, "You refuse to do this the easy way, so we'll do it the hard way..."

The young gentleman: "..."

Ling Hezhou exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know what he was going to say?"

Before Chi Yu could reply, the young gentleman flew into a fury. "A mere ant dares parrot me! Ding San, Ding Si, break his legs and rip out his tongue!"

"Yes!" The guards stepped forward, about to attack Chi Yu.

Ling Hezhou said urgently, "Take out my protective artifact! Hurry!"

Chi Yu immediately took a stack of explosive talismans from his Sumeru Ring, deliberately displaying their fronts.

"Top-grade explosive talismans?" The guards stopped short, their faces filled with horror. Talismans rarely circulated on the market, and even those that did were of low quality. A single top-grade explosive talisman was almost impossible to buy even with a fortune, let alone the stack in this boy's hand.

The guards all knew quality when they saw it, so they stopped and looked toward the young gentleman.

Though ignorant and unaccomplished, the young gentleman also recognized valuable goods. Like his guards, he identified the top-grade explosive talismans in Chi Yu's hand. His expression turned as ugly as an overturned palette, cycling through blue, red, green, and purple. A sentence escaped through his clenched teeth. "You've got guts. We're leaving!"

At the same time, Chi Yu muttered in unison, "You've got guts. We're leaving."

The young gentleman: "..."

He was furious, but the guards behind him held him back. This person had a whole stack of top-grade explosive talismans. Even slightly inferior protective artifacts wouldn't withstand the damage. Why confront him?

The young gentleman hadn't expected to run into such a formidable obstacle today after throwing his weight around the city for years. He could only swallow his anger and lead his men away resentfully.

Once the young gentleman left, the onlookers dispersed too, and Chi Yu strolled into Jinxiu Pavilion.

The shop assistant at Jinxiu Pavilion had witnessed the whole encounter and naturally seen Chi Yu's extravagant resources. Rather than treating him poorly for his ragged clothing, he ushered Chi Yu into the innermost "VIP room" with exceptional attentiveness.

In less than two hours, Chi Yu had traded his shabby gear for something far better. The ragged robes stripped from a corpse were replaced with the latest protective robes released that year. Exotic flowers and plants adorned the robes' silver surface in gold thread, and a jade-white belt cinched his slender waist. The brocade outfit was rather luxurious, but just enough so, complementing Chi Yu's beautiful, youthful face. With his tall, slim figure, he looked every inch the young master of a wealthy family. Only his short hair, which made him look like a monk who had recently returned to secular life, detracted somewhat from that elegant air.

Still, it was already very good. After all, when Chi Yu had first arrived in this world wearing shorts and a T-shirt, cultivators had seen him as an uncivilized savage, and he had narrowly escaped being captured as a human pet.

Remembering something, Ling Hezhou asked Chi Yu, "Right, how did you know what he was going to say? Do you have

"mind-reading

"powers?"

Before Chi Yu could answer, he dismissed the idea himself. "Impossible. That's a forbidden technique. You only recently drew qi into your body and reached qi refining, first layer. How could you know how to read minds?"

Chi Yu answered Ling Hezhou, "That type is pure cannon fodder. That's how they're all written in novels."

Ling Hezhou: "Novels? You mean storybooks?-Hey, aren't you going back?"

Chi Yu said, "No. We're heading straight out of the city."

Ling Hezhou: "Why? Why? You still have luggage at the inn. You're so stingy-are you really just abandoning all that?"

Chi Yu said aggrievedly, "How am I stingy? That's slander! Slander!"

Ling Hezhou felt he couldn't understand Chi Yu.

He and Chi Yu had teamed up along the way. Chi Yu had been looting corpses and happened to loot his.

But when he died, the protective artifact his father had given him activated instantly. Even though he was only in the Golden Core Realm, it could gather and conceal his Nascent Soul Spirit. His fellow disciples hadn't been so lucky. They had all died, their dismembered bodies left exposed in the wilderness, where Yaoshou gnawed them until not even bone fragments remained.

Chi Yu was kind. Even when looting corpses, he left clothing to cover them. Afterward, he buried them and erected gravestones, burned incense and paper offerings, and paid his respects with sacrificial offerings.

In truth, none of this meant much in the cultivation world. Once cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage who had not specifically cultivated their Nascent Soul Spirit died, both their lives and cultivation ended. But Chi Yu's willingness to do it showed that he was kindhearted.

It was only after seeing this that Ling Hezhou had dared call for help-this protective artifact also had a time limit. Once it expired and stopped working, he would still die.

With Chi Yu's help, Ling Hezhou's Nascent Soul Spirit could huddle inside the tiny Soul-Guarding Pearl, which became a blood-red earring hanging beneath Chi Yu's fair, full earlobe.

Chi Yu was indeed kind, but he had certain bad habits that Ling Hezhou truly couldn't understand. For example, he plucked every goose that passed, stuffing whatever ordinary plants he found into his pockets and declaring confidently that they were lingzhi or ginseng and could be sold for money. Or whenever they stopped in a town, even with the enormous haul of spirit stones he had looted from corpses in his pockets, he still haggled without fail. No one could get so much as a copper coin's advantage out of him.

Just now at Jinxiu Pavilion, for instance, Chi Yu had kept talking nonstop until he actually persuaded the owner to throw in quite a few free gifts. After giving them away, the owner even looked perfectly willing and personally saw Chi Yu out with a beaming smile.
