Chapter 208: The Fox Spirit (21)

Wen Wan nodded. "System, now I can cultivate. Do you have any teachings for demons on how to cultivate? I don't have the original owner's memories, so I don't know how! If I cultivate, will I be able to turn into a human? How long will it take? I also don't know what the original owner looked like. I'm really looking forward to it."

The system was stunned.

"System, are you even listening to me?"

The system was listening, of course. According to its plan, all of this would happen when the plot was completed. However, the plot involving the male and female leads was still in its infancy. How could the host be expected to cultivate into a human?

Then my initial plan would have fallen through, and I'd have to continue worrying that my host would abduct the male lead? And would I really be destined to send my host away in order to complete the mission?

It doesn't believe it.

【No. 】

"Huh?" Wen Wan was puzzled. Did this system mean it didn't know how demons cultivated? What should she do then? "How come you don't know anything? You're so unreliable!"

system:【……】

You, this fox, were always part of my plan; you were always a fox.

Wen Yan: "???"

What does this system mean?

I didn't intend for you to become an adult.

Wen Wan: "Why? Wouldn't it be more helpful for the mission if I'm an adult? I can complete the mission more easily."

"Bullshit, you have no chance of completing the task properly," the system thought.

The system was speechless; it needed to calm down and accept the fact, ultimately shifting the topic away from the matter. [Didn't I investigate Si Xun? Guess what I found out?]

"What?" As expected, Wen Wan was also extremely curious when she heard about Si Xun's matter.

This Si Xun is a person with great fortune.

"Isn't that the male lead? No, isn't the male lead of this world Gu Xuefeng? Could there be some other unexpected situation?"

System: [Host, this is a world derived from an unfinished story, so everything is unknown and subject to change. Although it's maintained by the author's outline, it will likely collapse in most cases, which is why we need to manage it and keep it going. Therefore, it's not surprising that various unexpected events will occur.]

[This Si Xun is a chosen one born from destiny; he might become the new male lead. Therefore, following the advice of the Transmigration Bureau, don't oppose him, don't hinder his development, try to maintain a good relationship with him, and don't let the male and female leads become enemies with him.]

Wen Yan: "..."

So, is it still possible to do this?

This is outrageous! There are two male protagonists in one world.

"And it also provides us with another option," the system continued.

"What choice?"

[Originally, our choice was to maintain the main characters' personalities, avoid the trashy plot of the second male lead rising to power, and also avoid the ending where the male lead dies. However, now there is another option: to follow Si Xun's path, allowing him to gradually embark on the path of successful cultivation, making him the overpowered protagonist of this world, the true male lead. That would also lead to the success of the mission, and the readers would be satisfied.]

Wen Yan: "???"

"Isn't this just... changing the male lead? What about Gu Xuefeng then?"

If we can complete the mission with Si Xun, Gu Xuefeng will become unimportant and have nothing to do with us.

Wen Yan: "..."

She remembered that Gu Xuefeng had been quite good to her. Hearing the system say this, she was very unhappy. "You transmigration bureaus are too heartless. You just give up on such a mission target like that. What did he do wrong?"

System: [But our goal is to complete the mission. Do you perhaps like him?]

Wen Yan: "..."

No, she just didn't want to give up on Gu Xuefeng. Gu Xuefeng was such a good person, why should he be abandoned?

The system... has resigned itself to its fate. It had already foreseen the future trend and should have gotten used to it long ago.

[If you don't want to give up on Gu Xuefeng's storyline, then you should work harder to get him involved with the female lead to avoid exposing his Asura bloodline. Otherwise, even if you don't want to give up, we'll have no choice but to.]

"I will. I won't let Gu Xuefeng die."

...

After her conversation with the system, Wen Wan began searching for the path of cultivation for the demon race. Gu Xuefeng was unaware of this, but there was one person who definitely knew.

Night of Demons.

Although Wen Wan hated him to death and he was extremely dangerous, he was the first and only demon Wen Wan knew, so he must know how demons cultivate.

Wen Wan went to find Yao Ye.

Yao Ye grabbed her, "Little thing, why haven't you come to see me all this time? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Wen Yan: "..."

This is so wicked! How could there be such a person? They want to kill her at the drop of a hat, and even when they give her the demon core, it's all a ploy to trick her.

However, Yao Ye quickly noticed the abnormality in Wen Wan's body. After examining her, he exclaimed in surprise, "You have a demon core in your body? Where did you get it? Who gave it to you? Or did you steal it?"

He never expected that it was Gu Xuefeng who gave it to him.

The most likely explanation is that the fox stole it itself.

"Since you have a demon core, why don't you turn into a human? And why do you squeak?" Yao Ye was puzzled, and Wen Wan was also helpless because she didn't understand cultivation. Even if she had a demon core, she didn't know what to do.

Yao Ye: "Could it be that you are unable to cultivate?"

Wen Wan nodded.

"Have you forgotten the methods of cultivation?"

Wen Wan nodded. At that moment, Yao Ye suddenly understood what she meant, so she looked at Yao Ye earnestly, "You understand, can you teach me? If you teach me well, I will forgive you for everything you did to me and will not hold it against you."

"You want me to teach you? To help you cultivate?"

Wen Wan nodded vigorously. Yao Ye laughed and grabbed Wen Wan's neck. "Why should I?"

"You hate me so much that you'd rather go find other demon cores than accept the one I gave you, and now you come to me asking for cultivation methods. Why should I give them to you?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Yeah, Yao Ye wouldn't be so willing to help others.

But Wen Wan didn't want to give up. She patted Yao Ye's hand with her pleading eyes.

"What will you give me in exchange? Unless you acknowledge me as your master."

System: [Host, this won't do. Who knows what Yao Ye is up to? We'd better leave quickly.]

The system felt it absolutely could not let its host agree; at worst, it would provide its host with a cultivation method, which was not out of the question.

Wen Wan nodded, "Okay."

System: [I'll give it to you, I have it.]

Wen Yan: "..."

"You have it? You really have it? You're not lying to me?"

The system was nearly driven mad. [I have... I have the cultivation methods of the demon race! You absolutely must not agree to Yao Ye's request!]

Wen Wan thought for a moment. If the system really understood, then she would naturally choose the system, so she quickly shook her head.

Yao Ye: "..."

"You just agreed, and now you want to run away? Little thing, do you think I'm a pushover?"

Wen Wan was caught and couldn't struggle. The next second, Wen Wan felt a surge of energy rush into the top of her head.

"What do you want to do? Let me go."

Yao Ye touched the mark on the fox's forehead. "This is my contract. From now on, you belong to me. I am your master."

Wen Yan: "..."

Depend on! ! !

That Yao Ye is so shameless; she made her own decisions before even agreeing.

Wen Wan fiddled with the bell she was wearing, "I'll kill you, you shameless dog."

"System, how do I use that cheat system Gu Xuefeng gave me to save my life, the one that can withstand an attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

System: [That will only be triggered when you are in mortal danger.]

Wen Yan: "..."

So this means that she can't use it at all. Isn't that terrible for her?

She's so bad, so incredibly bad. She doesn't have any special abilities whatsoever. Wen Wan was speechless.

Yao Ye was in a good mood. "Now that you are mine, I will naturally teach you the methods of cultivation."

The next second, something entered Wen Wan's mind, and Wen Wan was forced to accept it.

"If you don't understand something, you can ask me. I'd be happy to teach you."

Wen Yan: "..."

She left in a fit of rage. Once she's cultivated into a human, she'll make Gu Xuefeng remove this mark as soon as possible and have him beat up that demon Ye. He's just too despicable, despicable beyond compare. No wonder he can't get the female lead. This kind of demon deserves to live a lonely life forever.

...

Back at Qianxue Palace, Wen Wan received the cultivation method from the system and began her daily cultivation. The main cultivation of the demon race is the cultivation of demon cores, which is actually similar to that of immortal cultivators, as both originate from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As a result, Wen Wan consumed even more spirit stones and cultivated extremely diligently. Even Gu Xuefeng was somewhat surprised and would occasionally come to guide her, fearing that she might rush things and end up going astray.

What Wen Wan didn't know was that Gu Xuefeng had also searched for some cultivation methods suitable for demons, eliminating those that were harmful or meant to harm others.

Every day, Wen Wan and Gu Xuefeng meditated and cultivated together, and they rarely even went out. Wen Wan didn't even want to go out and meet Yao Ye, that bitch, she never wanted to see him again in her life.

Days passed by like this, and soon spring turned to autumn. A year flew by. One day, when Wen Wan was cultivating with Gu Xuefeng, she felt her whole body getting hot.

"System, what's wrong?"

System: [You should be transforming into human form now. Do you remember the incantation?]

Wen Wan: "I remember."

Wen Wan quickly recited the incantation in her mind, and after several tearing motions, a flash of white light appeared, and Wen Wan transformed into a human.

"Did it work?" Wen Wan asked the system, slightly out of breath, but the system had already been censored.

Wen Wan quickly realized something was wrong; she had turned into a human, but... she wasn't wearing any clothes.

"Depend on!!!"

Wen Wan looked towards where Gu Xuefeng was, and Gu Xuefeng opened her eyes and looked at her.

silence.

At this moment, silence prevails.

Finally, Gu Xuefeng waved his hand, and Wen Wan was wrapped tightly in a white cloth. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Wen Yan: "..."

She can't do that either!

"Gu Xuefeng?" Wen Wan spoke, her voice exactly the same as her original one. Wen Wan touched her hands and her face. "Gu Xuefeng, can I have a mirror? I want to see what I look like."

Gu Xuefeng quickly brought over a mirror, which Wen Wan held in her hands. She looked at the person in the mirror with some surprise.

"System, isn't that me?"

This is clearly her original appearance, except that her skin is whiter, more delicate, and more hydrated, her figure is better, and her hair is longer and softer.

System: [Yes, this was originally a gift I gave you to complete the mission and give you a body.]

"You're really reliable."

Wen Wan touched her face, feeling around, and realized that the original was still the most suitable for her, and the one she was most used to.

Gu Xuefeng just watched her quietly from the side.
