Chapter 88 The System Emerged from the Data Ocean
Oh no! Has his brother gone insane?!
Wen Xiao felt a pang of sadness, completely unaware that his brother had been so captivated by the unknown alchemy method that he was oblivious to his younger brother's existence.
Wen Shu gripped the fragile paper tightly in his hand, carefully examined it to make sure he had memorized it, then looked up at Su Yu, his eyes shining with astonishment. He asked impatiently, "Really for me? When do we leave? How about we leave now!"
Wen Xiao looked like he'd seen a ghost and tried to bring his brother to his senses: "Brother! What are you saying? You're not going to take care of the caravan anymore?"
Wen Shu waved his hand and said, "That's easy. Just leave a note. I'm just temporarily employed by Brother Lu. It's not like I'm leaving the caravan."
The ice beneath his feet had melted at some point.
Wen Shu chuckled as he took out paper and pen from his storage bag and wrote a message, then suddenly stopped, turning sharply to look at Wen Xiao as if he'd been cursed: "What are you doing here?!"
Wen Xiao retorted, feeling aggrieved: "I'll always be here! I'll still go with you!"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Yes, your brother couldn't bear to part with you, so I let him come along."
Wen Shu and Su Yu looked at each other for a while, and then Wen Shu slowly said, "This kid is useless. He's not strong enough, and he can't even recognize all the magical plants."
Amidst Wen Xiao's protesting voice, Su Yu's lips didn't even curve.
"Really? I think having your younger brother around can provide you with a lot of emotional support, which should be very helpful."
"Look, he wants to come along too."
Su Yu smiled and tilted her head, nodding at Wen Xiao with her chin.
Upon seeing this, Wen Xiao froze, and a blush began to spread across her face.
Wen Shu couldn't bear to look away. This kid still stares blankly at good-looking demons, completely clueless. He turned to Su Yu and asked, "Okay, it's settled then. When are we leaving?"
Without hesitation, Su Yu, who had clearly planned ahead, said, "Tomorrow morning, we'll make a vow first, and then you can go back and pack your things."
Wen Shu naturally agreed, but in addition to the deal on finding medicine and alchemy techniques, he added an extra requirement: Wen Xiao should not be taken with him when going to dangerous places.
Su Yu had no objection; as long as Wen Xiao made good use of his magical abilities, that would be fine.
With that matter settled, Wen Shu took Wen Xiao away, and he still had to tell Boss Xuan about it.
He was able to obtain a wonderful alchemy method, which would naturally benefit the caravan he served. He knew that Boss Xuan would not stop him.
Su Yu watched them leave, the smile on her lips fading, replaced by a cold and expressionless demeanor.
Feng Huaijin was in the next room. He had just cleaned his wounds and taken healing pills yesterday, and should be resting on the bed at this moment.
Su Yu had no intention of going over.
He's really not in a good mood right now.
Last night, the system finally emerged from the sea of data and explained the situation to him.
First of all, the plot involving the villain Feng Shi really did fall apart; it was indeed him who caused it.
Secondly, Feng Huaijin is Feng Shi, who is the main villain in the storyline.
As for the collapse plot point that lured the system here, it was naturally in Misty Moon City, the point where Feng Huaijin swallowed the crystal and awakened his bloodline. It was precisely because the timing of the key point was not quite right that the plot had to be checked; otherwise, it would not normally interfere.
That crystal was actually the Heavenly Fall Vine Flower. Who knew that this stone-like thing was actually part of a demonic plant? It could only appear on the main vine of the Ten Thousand Year Heavenly Fall Vine, and it was the treasure of the City of Misty Moon.
It can greatly enhance the power of the skills released by the wielder, just as Shuangliu used it to release a large-scale illusion that could cover the entire Holy Moon District without leaving any flaws.
The Heavenly Fall Vine Flower is not generally used for eating. Its hardness is indeed no different from that of crystal. Since ancient times, only the Abyss Demon Clan has been able to gnaw on it to replenish energy. This is an ancient demon clan that is as powerful as the Moon Demon. Its members are few, and its combat talent is the best among all ancient demon clans. Its talent is devouring, and its temperament is cunning, violent and tyrannical.
There is no doubt here that Feng Huaijin's awakened bloodline is indeed the same Abyss Demon bloodline as the villain Feng Shi in the story.
After consuming the Heavenly Fall Vine Flower and absorbing its special substances, Feng Huaijin's missing nutrients in his Abyss Demon bloodline were replenished, allowing his Abyss Demon bloodline to fully awaken.
The black and green vines of the Ink Rose that Su Yu swallowed replenished the special substances he needed for the Moon Demon. The remaining heart part was equivalent to a demon fruit with particularly rich demonic energy. After Feng Huaijin ate it, he could only barely open his bloodline, and he did not fully awaken it.
Now, due to the effects of his injuries, his Abyss Demon bloodline has awakened, but he is struggling to overcome this abnormal period.
According to the original plot from the system, Su Yu and Feng Shi would only interact as enemies later on. Su Yu would not take him in as a younger brother, nor would Feng Shi awaken his bloodline at the wrong time.
Feng Shi should have become completely twisted and corrupted after years of struggling and wandering at the bottom of society during his youth, resorting to all sorts of means to enhance his strength. After hearing about the effects of the treasures in Miyue Town, he began to covet them.
He found the Twin Stream Demons who had already begun their underhanded schemes, and through words of deception and manipulation, he left behind the chaotic and devastated Misty Moon City, before gracefully departing with the Fallen Heaven Vine Flower in hand.
A demon coveted the treasure of Misty Moon City. Upon receiving the news, he pursued Feng Shi relentlessly until he was no match for the opponent. Feng Shi then swallowed the crystal-like Heavenly Fall Vine Flower, awakening his Abyss Demon bloodline. After that, the Demon Lord Wei Lan, whose Abyss Demon aura was discovered, pursued him for many years.
Once Feng Shi was strong enough, he turned the tables and killed him to become the Demon Lord. He took in his former subordinates from his previous life, but he didn't care about his past life at all. Instead, he became interested in the plan to attack the Spirit Realm left by Wei Lan. Following Wei Lan's plan, he went a step further and directly started a war between the two realms. He didn't seek power, profit, or lust. He just wanted war and chaos, and harmed countless living beings. He was a true villain.
Now, the villain storyline has completely collapsed. Feng Shi, who is now Feng Huaijin, only has one thing on his mind: how to become partners with his brother.
The good news is that he doesn't need to worry too much; as a villain, Feng Twelve is unlikely to die easily. As long as the plot doesn't deviate too much, Feng Twelve might just become the future Demon Lord.
The bad news is that the protagonist is his own sister, who may kill or seal away his villainous brother in the future.
Question: What should he do if his younger brother and sister really start fighting to the death? Should he fight to the death?
Therefore, we still need to find a way to prevent the war between the demon realm and the spirit realm from breaking out. We need to quickly remove the old demon lord from his position as demon lord, so that he doesn't make too many arrangements during his reign and make this war unavoidable.
But if that happens, the plot will completely fall apart, or even become unrecognizable.
Then you have to make everything you do seem passive, so that the system thinks it's an autonomous adjustment by the world's consciousness.
As long as the plot changes due to natural changes in the world, the Time Management Bureau will not interfere, and everything will naturally be fine.
I still have to save my brother, even though it's a pain. But Feng Huaijin is different from Feng Shi in the original story; they're completely different demons.
Su Yu immediately started trying to shift the blame and prove her innocence in her mind:
Su Yu is deceiving me, no, drawing conclusions:
The system seemed to be deep in thought:
Episode 94: The ungrateful brat
Su Yu continued:
The system weakly said:
Su Yu's eyes were filled with a smile.
The system concludes by stating:
Su Yu was still smiling:
System 537 was relieved and, deeply moved, gave some instructions.
The system went silent very quickly.
Su Yu thought casually, "This is good. I didn't mean to deliberately ruin the plot. I just wanted to help my brother who was causing me so much trouble."
Who can blame him for being such a good older brother?
Given Feng Huaijin's current state of wanting to get close to him and court a woman at any time, Su Yu felt that it would be better for them to keep some distance for the time being.
Perhaps with time, or after the twelve abnormal periods have passed and he returns to normal, his feelings for me will fade.
"Knock knock—"
Su Yu frowned slightly.
Why isn't Twelve staying put to recover? What's he doing up there? What if his injuries worsen?
He got up to open the door, saying with a hint of displeasure, "Your injuries are still quite severe, why did you get up to find me...?"
Su Yu looked up in surprise, only to find that Feng Huaijin had suddenly pulled him into his arms.
Feng Huaijin's expression was gloomy, and he didn't let Su Yu see his face. He whispered in Su Yu's ear, "Brother, are you going to go with them and leave me alone?"
"What do you mean by abandoning me?" Su Yu knew he had overheard her conversation with the Wen brothers, so she patiently explained, "It's not that I'm abandoning you. You know that many magical plants grow in dangerous places, and you are injured and need to rest. You can't fall into any more danger."
"Although this place is remote, it won't be easily discovered by the Demon Palace forces. I've also made a deal with the Wind and Cloud Merchant Caravan; they will take good care of you..."
Su Yu suddenly stopped speaking, because Feng Huaijin was gently rubbing against his ear, their bodies close together, their posture very intimate, as if they were already a very loving couple.
“My brother never asked me if I wanted to,” a pitiful voice came from beside me, making his next sentence seem particularly sinister, “So this time I won’t ask my brother either.”
Oh, no, what's going on?
Su Yu's vision began to blur.
...That ungrateful little brat actually dared to drug him!!
You're just taking advantage of how familiar he is with you and how unguarded he is, aren't you!
Su Yu's anger surged, and she felt that there was some truth to the fact that this kid became the main villain in the original story.
He doesn't need A-Yao to do anything; he's going to personally... beat him to death!!!
Su Yu closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
Feng Huaijin gently caught her weak brother, her eyes soft and tender.
What does injury matter? Nothing is more important than being with my brother forever.
He thought to himself with a mixture of happiness and slight reproach, and then picked Su Yu up in his arms.
Then the injury on his back was aggravated, causing his face to contort in pain for a moment, but he held on tightly to his arm, as if the demon in his arms was still awake and could feel the brief jolt.
He needed to return to the cave, settle his brother in, then go find the bloodstone needed for forming a bond, and then come back to form a bond with his brother.
Under the amplified influence of his instincts during the abnormal period, Feng Huaijin had already turned the cave he had meticulously decorated into a love nest for his marriage.
What the system didn't mention in the information about the Abyss Demons that Su Yu was given was that, in addition to their powerful bloodline making reproduction difficult, the reason why the Abyss Demons were so few in number was that all of them were mate-centric, wishing that their partner's world consisted only of themselves, and they had no desire to have children to disturb the world of the two demons.
Even if a child is conceived unexpectedly, once it is confirmed that the child is viable, the Abyss Demon will drive the offspring out of the house, as long as the child does not die.
Furthermore, demons who awaken the Abyss Demon bloodline in later generations, during abnormal periods, can be calmed down by their partners or prospective partners even if they are in a state of extreme anger. However, they become even more irritable when rejected by their partners.
Of course, they won't vent this temper on their partners; they'll only have murderous intent towards anything that hinders their intimacy with their partners.
Those without partners are basically controlled by violent and bloodthirsty thoughts. If they are not restrained, they are likely to cause large-scale casualties, unless the demon itself is particularly rational and indifferent and consciously controls itself from being too deeply affected by the abnormal period.
After making this plan, Feng Huaijin carried Su Yu straight to the cave.
Seeing this, the demons who were lingering outside the courtyard looked at each other for a while. After trying to follow them, they were warned and gave up. Instead, they sent one of the demons to explain the situation to Elder Xuan and Master Wen.
On the other side, after setting up a barrier outside the cave, Feng Huaijin entered the cave again, squatted by the stone bed, and stared blankly and infatuatedly at his chosen partner for a long time.
He changed the bedding and pillows to a new set, so his brother shouldn't be uncomfortable sleeping there.
His eyes were closed, his face expressionless, and his brows and eyes naturally conveyed a cold and aloof demeanor. This usually made those unfamiliar demons dare not look directly at him, ignoring his actually very handsome and refined face.
His gaze moved downwards, landing on the delicate, high bridge of her nose, and below that, on the thin lips he had kissed before…
As Feng Huaijin recalled what she had done when her consciousness was even more confused, a blush rose to her cheeks and ears, gradually deepening from a light red until her earlobes were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
He shook his head violently, somewhat embarrassed, trying to clear his head.
I can't watch anymore.
He doesn't really believe in his current moral standards.
If we kiss now, it would be taking advantage of the demon's vulnerability, and my brother would be even angrier when he wakes up and finds out.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the pounding in his heart, and lingered on Su Yu one last time with reluctant eyes before finally hardening his heart to turn away.
It's okay, it's perfectly legitimate to kiss after you've become a couple.
Feng Huaijin skillfully comforted herself, left a note explaining the situation to her brother, and happily set off to find the Bloodstone.
The thought of his partner made him feel that he was fine, that he was okay, and that the injury on his back wasn't actually that painful.
How could a mere, non-fatal injury possibly affect his progress in finding a partner?
Half an incense stick's time had passed since Feng Huaijin left when Su Yu slowly opened her eyes, read the note, and then stared blankly into space.
Not good? He's even set up a formation that connects divine senses, so he must be doing really well!
Su Yu let out a cold laugh.
Seeing those familiar handwritings, the ones he had personally taught him, truly enraged him.
