Chapter 204: The Fox Spirit (17)
Yes, you're right.
Wen Wan and the system were emphasizing and hypnotizing themselves, seemingly forgetting that in the original plot, the second male lead was the one who took the place of the first male lead.
...
Soon it was time for the freshman competition. Every freshman would participate in the competition, whether they were inner disciples or outer disciples. Moreover, if an outer disciple performed well, they might be able to become an inner disciple again. Therefore, outer disciples valued this opportunity even more.
The disciple who wins first place in the freshman competition will receive a reward, access to the best cultivation resources in the Snow Sect, and guidance from the sect leader. This is an opportunity that every disciple, let alone freshmen, desires.
Wen Wan also noticed that during this time, when she went to find the female lead, the female lead and the second male lead were both busy cultivating, and when she went to find other disciples, the other disciples were also busy cultivating. When she was bored and wandering around, she was caught by Yao Ye who suddenly appeared.
Wen Yan: "..."
They definitely didn't check the almanac before going out.
"Little thing, didn't I tell you to come see me every day? How many days have you been hiding from me? Aren't you afraid the poison will take effect?"
Wen Wan: "I'm not poisoned."
"Looks like you know I didn't poison you." Yao Ye smiled and took out a black pill. "Then take a look, is this poisoned?"
Wen Yan: "!!!"
What does Yao Ye mean by this? Is he going to poison her again? That's terrifying!
The system quickly added, "[This is highly poisonous. If you eat it, you'll die.]"
Wen Yan: "..."
Damn it, Wen Wan couldn't escape now, so she could only put on an act of apologizing on the spot.
He raised both paws, saying, "Sorry, sorry."
Yao Ye chuckled, "You're quite the coward. I told you, as long as you obediently follow me, I won't kill you. But if you try to leave me, I will definitely kill you, or erase all your memories and make you my possession."
Wen Yan: "..."
Erasing her memory? That's too twisted.
Wen Wan nodded, "Don't worry, for my own life, I will definitely come every day, just as I would care for an old man living alone." This Yao Ye is at least several hundred or even a thousand years old, and with his personality, he must have no friends. Isn't he just an old man living alone? That's why he's tormenting this poor fox like this.
Having finally calmed Yao Ye's anger, Wen Wan guiltily ate the beef jerky Yao Ye had given her. Then she saw that Yao Ye wasn't practicing at all, but instead found a corner where he could see Lin Qingshui and Shen Qianyuan and just watched them cultivate.
"Pervert, do you think Yao Ye really likes Lin Qingshui? He doesn't seem jealous at all." Wen Wan was chatting with the system. Seeing the person she liked being close to someone else, he didn't react at all. Wen Wan even suspected that Yao Ye was a paranoid villain.
System: [He probably keeps all his emotions inside, so you definitely wouldn't notice. Having lived this long, his cultivation must be top-notch. Otherwise, how could he have killed so many of his brothers, even his demon king father, and ultimately become the demon king himself, forcibly taking the female lead? You're still too young.]
Wen Yan: "..."
That's not entirely unreasonable. Compared to these people, she was really too young. She was only in her early twenties when she died, a beautiful age.
The system continued, "[But it's good that you're young; at least you're naive. These old monsters like fun and innocent things. If you act well, Yao Ye won't kill you.]"
The system watched its host eating beef jerky without a care in the world. It seemed there was no need for the host to pretend. After turning into a fox, the host's already limited mind had all gone into his stomach, and all he thought about every day was eating.
Forget it, as long as the task is completed as required, its bottom line has been lowered to almost nothing by the host's repeated disruptions to the norm. If things go wrong in this world, the system has decided to give up and just pack up the host and send him to the male lead in the next world.
Since struggling is pointless, why not just lie down?
"You mean natural people are the best at dealing with cunning people? I understand that trope. So, are Gu Xuefeng and Lin Qingshui like that too?"
System: [Of course! Gu Xuefeng has lived for thousands of years, high above all others, cultivating the ruthless path, the number one cultivator in the immortal world. Why would he fall for this young heroine? Isn't it because of her kindness and naivety? Didn't you also praise the heroine?]
"Actually, rather than praising the mistress, I would say she's a saint. After all, she spared me, a vixen who wanted to harm her, and she was so kind to me. What else could she be but a saint? It's a good thing she had Marquis Shen Qianyuan by her side, otherwise she would have died long ago."
System: [...] So the host knew!
But thinking about it, being a bit of a saint is actually quite good; it's much better than the female lead from the last world, who was a complete black-hearted scheming woman.
Wen Wan ate while leisurely wagging her tail.
Yao Ye would occasionally feed her, "Who do you think will come out on top in this freshman competition?"
"Of course it's the female lead."
"You don't think it was me?"
Wen Yan: "..."
He shook his head. "It's you, it's definitely you. You are the third son of the Demon King, and you are incomparable to these inexperienced disciples."
Yao Ye: "You're smart to know what's good for you." Then Yao Ye took out a portion of the demon core, which Wen Wan immediately ate.
After consuming several demon cores, Wen Wan felt that she had become much stronger, and occasionally felt that she had inexhaustible energy, while the damaged parts of her body were also repairing.
"Come with me after I've taken care of everything."
Wen Wan: "..." You're dreaming.
...
On the day of the freshman competition, Wen Wan was held in Gu Xuefeng's arms. He didn't want to come, but Wen Wan tugged at his sleeve and forced him to come. Why? According to the system, firstly, it was to let the male lead see the female lead more often and discover her excellence and perfection. Secondly, with Gu Xuefeng present, Yao Ye would definitely not dare to go all out or use his demonic power, so Lin Qingshui had the greatest chance of winning.
This was Wen Wan's first time seeing a cultivation competition, and she was quite interested in it, watching with great interest. Soon she saw the female lead, who was indeed extremely outstanding, winning one match after another. The spirit sword in her hand and the swordsmanship she used surprised everyone. However, those who knew the truth also looked at the sect leader in surprise.
It seems the sect leader isn't truly indifferent to this disciple; after all, if he weren't, he wouldn't have personally taught him the spirit sword and sword techniques.
Shen Qianyuan was also very strong. After entering the sect, he quickly gained the favor of the elders and was personally taught by them. His progress was also great. As soon as he entered the arena, he became a dark horse, and the elders and disciples watching were greatly impressed.
Then came Yao Ye. Wen Wan stared intently, her eyes wide. She wanted to see how Yao Ye would put on a show. However, to her surprise, Yao Ye was actually using legitimate cultivation techniques and spiritual power, and quite a lot of it. If Wen Wan hadn't known his identity, she would never have guessed that he was a demon.
