"Huh? Who's the male protagonist of this world? What happened?"
"The male protagonist of this world is Xiao Mo. Do you remember that there is a remnant soul inside Xiao Mo's body?"
"Yes, I saw that the remnant soul had the intention of possessing another body, so I left a mark on it."
"Xiao Mo encountered danger, was severely injured and unconscious, and his remnant soul tried to control Xiao Mo's body to save him... but your mark thought he was trying to possess it, and directly shattered the remnant soul... and the rest of the story couldn't continue..."
"Uh..." She meant well but messed things up... She didn't mean to...
Yun Qi rubbed her forehead, feeling a little guilty: "Then what do we do now?"
Xiao Qi: "Your urgent task now is to act as that remnant soul, assisting the male protagonist in leveling up. Later on, you will shield the male protagonist from heavenly lightning, and then you can log off. The reward for completing the task is points."
"So what should I do now?"
"The main system has already reached an agreement with the Heavenly Dao Overlord. You can play the role of that remnant soul and continue the storyline. I'll send you there now."
"What about my body?"
"Don't worry, I'll store your body in the system space so you can use it anytime."
"Okay, let's go then."
After a bout of dizziness...
Yunqi felt her soul enter a void, surrounded by a hazy mist, and her divine sense swept across the area without seeing the end...
Xiao Qi cried out urgently, "Don't use your divine sense! Quickly withdraw your divine sense!"
Yunqi quickly withdrew her divine sense.
Xiao Qi finally relaxed: "Qiqi, this is Xiao Mo's spiritual sea. He's the male protagonist of this world! You're in soul form right now. If you probe out with your divine sense, he'll absorb it, and your soul will weaken. Just now, he absorbed one-tenth of your soul energy..."
Then, Xiaoqi said angrily, "We worked so hard to strengthen our souls through missions!! And he just absorbed them all like that!!"
Yunqi quickly tried to soothe Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi, don't be angry. Just consider it as owing him. Who told me to leave a mark back then?"
"You left your mark to protect him!"
"Isn't this a case of good intentions gone wrong?" Yun Qi quickly changed the subject. "Xiao Qi, I don't have the memories of that remnant soul. What if I don't act well and the male lead notices?"
"Don't worry, the male lead and the remnant soul don't have a deep relationship. The remnant soul helps the male lead level up, and the male lead agrees to help the remnant soul reshape its body. They're just getting what they need. This time, we'll just follow the remnant soul's storyline. I'll remind you from the side."
"OK."
"Now, take control of Xiao Mo's body and go to a cave. There is an opportunity for him inside. I will guide you there."
"Um."
Yunqi controlled her body and followed Xiaoqi to a cave.
Huh? The ring on Xiao Mo's hand is actually the one she left him back then, but the space inside has become much larger. It must be that Xiao Mo re-refined it and expanded the storage space.
He took a blanket out of the ring and spread it on the ground. Yun Qi (Xiao Mo's body) then lay down on it.
Fortunately, the things I prepared for him were quite varied, including pots, pans, bedding, and clothes.
There were hardly any pills left in the ring, and Xiao Mo was still unconscious.
Yunqi returned to her body, took out some pills from her ring and fed them to Xiao Mo. She then took out some more pills to put into Xiao Mo's spatial ring, but Xiao Qi stopped her.
"Qiqi! No way! What if Xiao Mo wakes up and finds the extra pills in the ring? How will you explain that? You're that remnant soul now, where did you get so many pills?!"
“That makes sense.” Yunqi had no choice but to give up the idea of providing Xiao Mo with “supplies”.
Yunqi set up a barrier outside the cave and sat down next to Xiao Mo: "Xiao Qi, tell me about Xiao Mo's current situation."
"In the current storyline, Xiao Mo went to the cultivation world after avenging his family. He did not join a sect and relied on the cultivation method on the jade slip you left behind to cultivate on his own. With the guidance of the remnant soul, he has now reached the Golden Core stage."
"Not bad! Reaching the Golden Core stage from the ninth level of Qi Refining in seven years is truly astounding!"
"The current situation is that he's a rogue cultivator, yet he's cultivated so quickly that everyone assumes he possesses a rare treasure and is hunting him down... So what just happened was that he killed his opponent, but he himself was also seriously injured..."
"...So far, has he had any opportunities?"
"...Yes, I obtained a Divine Crystal (which can be used to refine divine artifacts), and I used it to upgrade the sword you gave him back then."
Divine Xuanjing? !
What a waste of talent!
"...The sword I gave you back then was at best a low-to-mid-grade spiritual weapon, and it wouldn't be enough after the Golden Core stage...Using Divine Profound Crystals to improve the sword's quality is simply a waste!"
"He also obtained a divine beast egg, which would normally hatch and recognize him as its master after being nurtured for a year or two, but he decided to make you steamed egg custard the next time he sees you..."
"..."
Yun Qi felt a little guilty. She had no idea that a casual trip to the human realm would lead to her meeting the world's male protagonist! Besides, she hadn't done anything outrageous! The male protagonist was still thinking about her—what was going on?!
She doesn't want to take the blame for this!
Yunqi asked timidly, "Xiaoqi, are you sure the plot hasn't gone off track?"
Xiaoqi replied irritably, "I went astray after meeting you."
Yunqi: "I think... there's still a chance to save him."
"In the original plot, he entered the Lingyun Sect by chance and became the disciple of the peak master of Yujian Peak. However, he was not happy at Yujian Peak. His fellow disciples bullied him, and his master was always in seclusion and did not care. He suffered all kinds of bullying in the Lingyun Sect, and because of the massacre of his clan, the male protagonist turned to the dark side..."
"Wait! This is the original plot?! The male lead has turned evil! Is this okay?!"
"There will definitely be a cute female lead who saves the male lead later on, she'll win him over with love, and then they'll live happily ever after!"
