Chapter 15 015 Shameful Play
System: "Ding! Please fill in the plot within one hour, or you will be punished."
Lu Yuanyuan felt a mouthful of blood well up inside her, which she choked on.
She had at least read the original novel of "The Enchanting Fairy Tale" and frequented the book review section. Like most readers of stock market romance novels, the readers of this book loved the scenes of men vying for power and fighting, followed by the simp female supporting character getting humiliated, but they disliked seeing the simp female supporting character defile the male lead. Therefore, in this novel, the author glossed over the scenes of the original owner harassing Duan Lansheng with concise and general language.
Lu Yuanyuan was certain that she had not read this extremely obsessive and old-fashioned original text in the book.
Needless to say, this was definitely filled in by the system according to the logic of the original text!
System: "Correct. A proper simp is one who licks boots in every little thing. The original text used to portray you is far too little; it can't support your simp persona."
A blood-red countdown timer appeared in the void directly in front of them, starting to count down from 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
Lu Yuanyuan bit her nails.
Forget it, nothing ventured, nothing gained; to master a divine skill, one must first castrate oneself. Hadn't she already made that decision?
Moreover, although the original plot this time also had a lewd atmosphere, the good thing was that Duan Lansheng's cooperation wasn't needed at all. She only needed to peek from outside the door; she didn't even need to pretend. It was much easier than her previous request to hug Duan Lansheng.
Lu Yuanyuan tied the servant's jade token to her waist and walked towards the direction of the Qilin boat. As soon as she stepped out of the threshold, a "gurgling" sound came from her stomach.
Those two female cultivators arrived too early today; she hadn't even had breakfast yet.
Looking around, she saw a delicate white jade porcelain dish on the table in the center of the room, containing three peaches with pale pink skins covered in soft fuzz. Lu Yuanyuan darted over, grabbed one, and stuffed it into her bosom, intending to eat it on the way.
.
The seven peaks of Mount Shu specialize in different fields, each with its own unique characteristics. However, in terms of fame, martial prowess, and popularity, the Sword Sect is undoubtedly the number one. The full name of Mount Shu is the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, which alone demonstrates its extraordinary status. Every leader of the Shu Mountain Sect throughout history has been a war god from the Sword Sect.
With the jade token, Lu Yuanyuan would no longer be blocked from the Seven Peaks, and it also brought a very practical benefit—she wouldn't have to pay for the ride on the Qilin Boat if she took this thing; the fare would be directly charged to the personal disciple's account!
Sword Sect Mountain is majestic, covered with lush and verdant vegetation. Standing at the mountain gate, one can see the flashing sword light of the training grounds. Lu Yuanyuan ate a peach on the Qilin Boat, wiped her hands, avoided the crowd, and found the Sword Sect's medicine hut.
The medicine hut is similar to the infirmary of the Seven Peaks. It's normal for sword cultivators to get bumps and bruises when they spar or go down the mountain for missions; they can't bother the alchemy cultivators every time. Unless it's a serious problem that could kill someone, they can just apply some medicine themselves and be done with it.
Following the tree-lined path down the mountain, Lu Yuanyuan saw a single-story wooden house. The house looked somewhat dilapidated; being near a mountain stream, the temperature was slightly lower than outside. Supported by a dozen thick pillars, the house was half a meter higher than the ground. Fallen leaves clung to the upturned corners of the roof, and golden sunlight danced on the leaves. Osmanthus trees were planted around the house, filling the air with their sweet fragrance.
It was quiet all around, and there probably wasn't anyone inside. The continuous sound of flowing water added to the serene and Zen-like atmosphere.
It would be so pleasant to put a deck chair in a place like this and take a nap.
Since she was there to spy, Lu Yuanyuan lifted her skirt, tiptoed up the steps, crouched down, came to the door, looked through the latticed window, and opened her eyes slightly.
Found it.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the row of doors on the east side, illuminating the room. Perhaps because there was no one there and medicine was being applied, Duan Lansheng took off his shirt, leaving only his trousers underneath.
Perhaps masked by the sound of water, Duan Lansheng did not notice her presence. His long black hair hung down to his waist like a ponytail and was swept to one shoulder. The young man's back was broad and thin, but not weak. From his broad and straight shoulders down, there were clear shoulder blades, and then transitioned to his waist. His body lines were strong, beautiful and smooth.
What was truly shocking was that the jade-like back was covered with dark red and purplish whip marks, with scabs forming on the skin. The bruises seemed to have penetrated deep into the muscles, completely ruining the scene.
The whip used at the execution platform of Mount Shu is not an ordinary whip, but a weapon of the immortal sect. In order to teach the disciples a lesson, they cannot be treated with the usual methods of healing; they can only honestly use mortal methods to apply medicine and heal their wounds.
Lu Yuanyuan hadn't forgotten why she was there. Because the junction between the wooden door and the latticed window of the medicine shop was awkward—if she stood straight, her head and shoulders would be exposed, which would be too brazen for a spy. But if she squatted down completely, she couldn't see anything. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to assume a horse stance and crouch down to look.
Duan Lansheng's face was pale, but his posture remained upright as he soaked a cloth in hot water, wiping away bloodstains and dirt. His movements were noticeably slower than usual, clearly indicating he was in great pain. But he remained silent, like a mute. His arms extended behind his back, making his shoulder blades even more prominent.
According to the plot, Lu Yuanyuan had to wait until he left before she could leave. However, Duan Lansheng was too slow. The water in the basin was stained red before he finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wooden basin, took it to pour it out, and returned with a porcelain bottle in his hand.
Not only was he in pain, but Lu Yuanyuan outside the door was also suffering terribly: "..."
Her body was already weak, and after holding the horse stance for so long, like military training, her thigh muscles ached and trembled slightly. The sun climbed over her back from outside the porch, and she began to sweat. Suddenly, her body swayed dangerously. Lu Yuanyuan was startled and immediately gripped the ground with her toes to steady herself.
This is going to be bad. If she loses her footing, all her efforts will be wasted. Fortunately, Lu Yuanyuan suddenly noticed a slightly raised, exquisitely carved floral pattern beneath the latticework of the door. She decided to rest her chin on it for leverage.
Lu Yuanyuan rubbed her lower back, slowly tilted her head back, and rested her chin on it, which indeed made her feel much more relaxed. However, her good mood only lasted for two seconds before she suddenly felt a subtle tremor.
Immediately afterwards, the door in front of them opened inwards without warning.
Lu Yuanyuan's expression changed drastically.
Damn, what kind of trap is this?!
The door wasn't locked; it was ajar!
Because she had already leaned some of her weight against the door, it suddenly opened, causing her to lose her balance. She frantically waved her arms, trying to regain her footing, but it was all in vain. The next second, she tripped over the threshold and fell straight into the house.
Hearing the noise, Duan Lansheng turned around abruptly, his sharp eyes sweeping over: "Who's there!"
His gaze fell down and he saw that the person lying sprawled on the ground was Lu Yuanyuan. He froze, and asked in surprise, "It's you?"
"..." Lu Yuanyuan suppressed the urge to swear, wiped her face, slowly raised her head, and forced an awkward smile: "That's right, it's me, no doubt about it. Surprised? Unexpected?"
When his eyes met her dark gaze, Duan Lansheng realized he was still shirtless. He abruptly took a step back, picked up his undergarment that had been blown to the floor by the wind when he stood up, covered his body, and stared at her with a wary yet strange expression: "When did you arrive? What are you doing here?"
I absolutely refuse to admit that I came here to spy.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanyuan quickly found an excuse, saying sincerely, "I was worried about your injury, so I came to visit you and see if there was anything I could do to help. I accidentally tripped over the threshold."
Duan Lansheng frowned, about to speak, when the two of them suddenly heard a sound coming from the osmanthus grove outside.
"You really saw that mortal woman come?"
“Indeed, her behavior is highly suspicious. And Duan Lansheng is also inside…”
...
Duan Lansheng turned his head, looked in the direction of the sound, and his eyes darkened.
Lu Yuanyuan was also stunned for a moment, her mind went blank for a moment, and she learned what the plot was from the system.
—In the demon-inducing dungeon, two of Duan Lansheng's four incompetent teammates died, and the two survivors, in order to escape responsibility, joined forces to frame Duan Lansheng.
Perhaps feeling guilty, they still felt it wasn't enough that Duan Lansheng had already been punished. In order to make sure that Duan Lansheng was unable to defend himself and could not recover, they continued to do everything they could to damage his image.
In the original text, they saw the original owner heading towards the medicine hut and knew that Duan Lansheng was healing inside and must be disheveled. They guessed that the original owner was going to see him and devised a plan. They immediately followed him. As long as they caught the two of them in the same room, they would have a way to falsely accuse them of having an affair in the medicine hut.
The disciples of Mount Shu have ten commandments, one of which is against lust. Although this is not a monastery where heavenly principles are upheld and human desires are suppressed, prohibiting marriage, a disciple who has just received punishment should reflect on his actions. Moreover, Duan Lansheng is a half-demon, and demons are known for their debauchery.
If the gossip about his secret rendezvous with a mortal woman spreads to others immediately after he has just been executed, it will greatly damage Duan Lansheng's image.
However, in the main text, their scheme failed. They arrived too late, just as Duan Lansheng, who had already applied the medicine and was leaving the medicine hut, was there. A somewhat unpleasant argument ensued. By then, the original owner of this body had already left.
Why was this part of the story brought forward?
in advance……
Could it be because, in the original storyline, this was the original owner's first time visiting the Sword Sect, and she didn't know the way, wandering around for quite a while before finally finding the medicine hut? But since she's in her second timeline, she's very familiar with the Sword Sect and came directly there, thus bringing forward the events that follow?
System: "Correct. Please ensure that you are not seen by anyone at the same time, otherwise you will be punished."
The most urgent thing was to prevent those two from succeeding in discovering that she and Duan Lansheng were both in the house, especially since Duan Lansheng was currently disheveled. But it was too late for her to run; the sounds had already reached outside.
Lu Yuanyuan took a step back and accidentally bumped into a low table. She looked down and suddenly remembered what had happened in Yue Hong's palace. A good idea popped into her head, so she immediately ran to Duan Lansheng's side and said seriously, "Those two people are definitely up to no good. We can't let them see you like this, or we'll be in deep trouble."
After saying that, she pulled Duan Lansheng over and pushed him under the table.
Duan Lansheng: "...?"
There wasn't enough time to get Duan Lansheng dressed, so it was faster to just hide him in his disheveled state.
This is a single wooden table used for dispensing medicine. The space under the table is narrow; it would be full if a boy were squeezed in. But if one sits sideways, it looks rather suspicious, almost like telling others that there's something under the table.
Lu Yuanyuan was about to slip her legs in, but glancing at the muddy soles of her shoes from the walk, she changed her mind and quickly took them off. To save time, she rubbed her feet together to remove them. In her haste, she accidentally rubbed off one sock, revealing a bare foot.
The figure had already reached the door and was pushing it open.
It was too late to put on socks now, so Lu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and stepped her feet into Duan Lansheng's arms.
