Chapter 6: You Can't Be Nameless
This plot is totally broken.
Xie Yanyu watched Helan Wei drink the soup, his eyes darkened, and he finally couldn't help but say in his heart:...system.
The system was silent for a moment: [Ah.]
Xie Yanyu: This plot doesn’t seem right, right?
The system was about to collapse, and it didn't know that Helan Wei would drink the sobering soup himself.
It thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because you didn't follow the plot from the beginning. Have you heard of the term "Butterfly Effect"? I'm afraid you haven't heard of it. It means that even a small change can lead to a huge deviation in the result..."
The system chatters in my head.
Xie Yanyu didn't want to listen to its nonsense. He knew he couldn't count on it, so he had to improvise and turn his attention back to Helan Wei.
The lights in the room had just gone out, and now it was pitch black all around. She could only make out the outlines of things in the moonlight. She was kneeling in front of Helan Wei at this time, looking up at him, but she couldn't see his expression clearly. She could only see that he was sitting upright.
The effect of the love thread Gu is very strong. It should take effect immediately after drinking it.
However, he stood tall and straight, as if he was not affected at all.
Xie Yanyu paused, then asked tentatively: "You..."
She wanted to ask him if he was okay, if he felt uncomfortable,
However, before he finished speaking,
Helan Wei suddenly laughed lightly.
He put the soup bowl back on the table, then looked at her, his breathing steady as he spoke slowly, "There's love thread Gu in the soup."
His tone was the same as always, gentle yet a little casual.
Xie Yanyu couldn't tell what his specific emotion was, but she didn't feel like he was angry. She didn't know what to say, so she simply lowered her head and kept silent.
She read the original plot and knew that when he got the bowl of soup, he knew there was a love poison in it.
However, even so, he still drank it, then sat up straight and explained it to her as if he had just identified what kind of Gu it was.
His madness was not obvious, like some kind of vine growing in a dark and damp swamp, silent and invisible, which made it even more creepy.
She had no idea what he was going to do next. As he stared at her, her hair stood on end, and she even instinctively wanted to run. But she was stubborn by nature, and beneath her submissive exterior, she was a tougher person than anyone else. Realizing she was being timid, she suppressed her instinct to run and knelt there, determined to see this scene through to the end.
She asked the system in her heart: Do I have to drink the love thread Gu for the plot to proceed?
System: [Not really. As long as the main plot lines overlap, it's fine.]
Xie Yanyu: For example?
System: [The main plot point between you and him is an intimate relationship, without a name or status, hidden from the public, and you even pursue him to his sect, where you are exposed and ruined. As long as it doesn't affect the overall plot line, small plot points like drinking the medicine can be left unfinished. However, in most cases, if you don't complete these small plot points, the overall plot will be derailed...]
Xie Yanyu understood.
She began to recall the entire plot line.
On that side,
Helan Wei looked at her and found that she was kneeling on the ground, as if... distracted.
Before, she wanted to regret and pour out the medicine, but after he drank the medicine, she became motionless.
The love poison was very potent and it started working the moment he drank it. Now he was sitting upright, seemingly unaffected, but even his breathing was burning, and his blood seemed to be boiling, making him feel a little hot. He looked at her without saying a word.
I don't know what she is thinking.
I can still be distracted at this time.
He wanted to suppress the feeling of heat a little, but the more she didn't look at him and the more she was distracted, the stronger the feeling of heat in his body seemed to become, and he even felt a little anxious, and his fingertips began to ache.
He curled up his fingertips, without moving, and just called her out: "Yan Yu."
Xie Yanyu came back to his senses upon hearing the voice and looked up at him.
Her eyes were slightly narrow and long, like willow leaves, with a little white in the lower part of the eyes. This kind of eyes always makes people look tired and gloomy. However, when she looked at people, her gaze was indifferent, which extended a bit of gentleness, which complemented her disguised gentle temperament.
Helan Wei spoke condescendingly: "The love thread Gu is taking effect."
His breath was steady, his voice deep and magnetic, not like he was tortured by lust. But the next second, he leaned over slightly, moved closer to her, and his breath fell on her ear, so hot that it almost burned her: "Aren't you scared? Why don't you run?"
The distance between the two people was shortened.
Xie Yanyu smelled the scent on him. The cold and faint orchid fragrance seemed to become stronger, overwhelming her and giving her a sense of invasion. Because they were too close, her eyes fell on the small mole on the tip of his nose, and she subconsciously noticed his beautiful lips. Perhaps because his breath was too hot, she also felt a little hot.
She was silent for a while and didn't say anything.
Helan Wei didn't make any other moves, just kept this distance from her, as if waiting for her answer, or perhaps giving her a chance to leave, but because she didn't say anything or move for a long time, his anxiety became more and more intense, and the hostility around him almost seemed to be overflowing.
His breathing finally became a little disordered.
That's when
Xie Yanyu said, "The medicine I gave you has taken effect. How do you plan to punish me now?"
She had no intention of leaving.
This thought passed through my mind.
Helan Wei's breath paused, and a certain string in his body finally snapped. He suddenly exerted force on his hands, grabbed her neck, and then kissed her. Unlike the casualness when he asked the question, his movements were a bit fierce, as if he wanted to bite her into pieces and swallow her.
He couldn't count how long it had been since he last touched her, and could only watch from afar in the dark.
He can still restrain himself when he can't touch it, but once he touches it, he will crave more. He feels hungry, and his body and soul are longing for it, trying to possess more.
So the kiss that originally only landed on the lips now fell on the back of the neck and the side of the ear. He seemed to understand her very well and knew where to kiss her to make her happy.
Xie Yanyu was trembling all over and unable to speak, so he could only subconsciously grab his clothes.
She heard him say in his ear: "...Yeonyu, if you really ran away just now, I might have locked you up."
This sounds a bit like a threat.
Xie Yanyu said vaguely: "I won't run."
Two very simple words, even a little perfunctory,
Helan Wei seemed to be comforted. He gently bit her earlobe and said in a wet tone, "Then come back to the Helan family with me."
As soon as these words fell,
Xie Yanyu paused: "What?"
She stepped back a little, and Helan Wei felt disappointed and a little unhappy.
He looked at her for a long while, then raised his hand slightly to loosen his collar.
Her clothes had been tangled by her, and now they were slightly loosened, opening a little, revealing a few beautiful muscle lines. His voice was gentle and casual: "Or else, do you want to be nameless and without status?"
Xie Yanyu finally woke up: "Status?"
The plot line between her and him has no name or status from the beginning to the end. How could she continue the plot if she had a name or status?
"Well, what status does Yanyu want?" Helan Wei asked casually, "Wife?"
The Helan family is one of the most prominent families in the world of cultivation.
Helan Wei is the pride of the Helan family and has a noble status. If you can become his wife, you can walk all over the world of cultivation.
Xie Yanyu was born in a humble family. She had tried her best to drug Helan Wei, but in fact she just wanted to get the status of a concubine. She knew her own weight. She was Xie's adopted daughter in name only, and it was actually an honor for her to be Helan Wei's concubine.
But now this person is talking about giving her the title of wife...
She just wanted to live a good life, and here was an opportunity, right at her fingertips.
If that's the case, why go through all the trouble of following the plot?
She lowered her eyelashes and said nothing, and said to the system in her heart: I think being Mrs. Helan might be a little easier than following the plot.
The system is going crazy: [No! ]
Xie Yanyu: Why?
The system choked for a moment, and finally spoke: [If you become an immortal, wouldn't your life be better than Madam Helan's?]
Xie Yanyu certainly knew this.
So far, everything she got was exchanged for something of equal value. She had never received any gift from fate. She did not believe that pie would fall from the sky, at least not to someone as lowly as her. Helan Wei suddenly gave her the title of wife, and she did not believe it was without any cost.
She will still continue with the plot, but she will use this to gain more benefits from the system.
She said: "But the plot you gave me is not quite accurate. I am a little skeptical. Can I really become an immortal after completing the plot?"
System: [Maybe because you didn't follow the plot at the beginning...]
It wants to talk about its butterfly effect again,
Xie Yanyu interrupted in a gentle voice: There must be something to prove it, right?
The system was silent for a moment before it said, "I can grant you cultivation. During this time before you complete the storyline, anything you can get your hands on, whether it's a spirit jade or a magical tool, as long as it contains spiritual power, you can absorb it and transform it into your cultivation."
Here Xie Yanyu is bargaining with the system,
On the other side, Helan Wei looked at her, waited for a while, and then found that she was distracted again.
He tightened his grip on her waist a little: "Xie Yanyu."
Xie Yanyu: "Hmm?"
Helan Wei's heart suddenly surged with a nameless anger, and along with the fire in his body, it spread to every part of his body, instantly igniting. He lowered his head slightly, his breath resting on her neck, and whispered, "This is the only chance."
He was talking about giving her the status of wife.
She should have liked him this year, and even though they had no official status, she wanted something to happen between them. He shouldn't have panicked, but he still used his status as his wife to seduce her, trying to hold her tighter. She liked him, liked power and wealth, so was he still worried about not being able to hold her?
But her reaction was unexpected, she was distracted.
How could she be distracted?
It turns out that even a person as innocent as him would threaten others when he was in a panic.
He buried his head in her neck, waiting for her reaction.
This threat seems to be effective.
Xie Yanyu quickly turned his attention back to him.
She raised her hand and lightly wrapped it around his waist, her fingertips touching the jade pendant on his belt. She could feel the spiritual power surging in the jade. Although it was not much, it should be the same as what the system said. As long as she could get it, she could transform it into cultivation.
This is a pretty good ability.
She thought about it and directly pinched the jade pendant. The moment the jade pendant fell into her palm, the spiritual power was absorbed into her body. However, in the process of her movement, she also pulled his belt.
The belt was suddenly loosened.
Helan Wei's fingertips trembled.
Inexplicably, he suddenly recalled the events of his previous life. In that life, she had felt that even a glance at him was unnecessary, let alone taking the initiative to pull his belt. After her rebirth, she had not taken the initiative either, and even regretted drugging him. He was somewhat unable to predict her behavior. Now that she took the initiative to pull his belt, he felt flattered. His heart, which had been fluctuating all night, seemed to have settled down.
Yes.
She should still like him.
He was willing to give her the status of his wife. In this life, she would marry him and would no longer be involved with other people like in the previous life. She would only break off with him.
Helan Wei stared at her, his breathing became heavier, and the hand on her waist suddenly exerted force, picked her up, and let her sit on the table.
He bent down and kissed her.
But before the kiss could fall, she raised her hand and pressed it to his lips.
Helan Wei paused.
Then,
He felt her fingertips move, and then a pill was stuffed into his mouth.
A slightly bitter taste spreads across the lips.
The next second,
He heard her say—
"I am of low status and unworthy of the title of Madam Helan. Moreover, I was the one who plotted against you tonight. I feel guilty...
"This is the antidote to the love poison."
