"Long Aotian, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer to what happened today, I will report this to my master. If my master continues to protect you as always, I will report it to the sect leader."
Su Youxue stared coldly at Long Aotian, looking determined not to give up.
Long Aotian clenched his fists, his face dark and veins bulging on his forehead. He had only come out to collect his monthly allowance and said one sentence. Who had he offended? Why was he being targeted?
Lin Fan was in a great mood, secretly laughing as he watched Long Aotian suffer a setback.
Su Youxue's skill was so great that even he couldn't withstand it; no wonder he lost so badly in his previous life.
Is it useful to reason with a fairy? No, it's useless. They'll just think you're making excuses.
If you want to break this, you can only find a fairy of similar skill to argue with her.
"Senior Brother, I'm sorry, this is a healing elixir, please accept it." Long Aotian finally lowered his head.
It's all my fault for being so talkative; why did I have to come and join in the fun?
"Alright, I know Junior Brother Aotian didn't mean it, I forgive you." Lin Fan took the elixir and smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: to strike a blow against the arrogance of the Chosen One, to dampen his spirits, to increase the Lord of the Chosen One's hatred value by twenty points, and to obtain the Divine Elixir Fruit."
Hearing the system's announcement, Lin Fan was no longer surprised. The damn system always managed to squeeze in rewards whenever it could; he hadn't done anything, yet it still managed to cram them in.
"Hmph, if you dare to cause trouble for Senior Brother again, you'll be sorry!" Su Youxue waved her fist and said coldly.
Long Aotian's face twitched slightly, but he didn't say a word. Then he left with a few lackeys.
"Senior Brother, are you alright?" Su Youxue turned around and looked at her senior brother, revealing a sweet smile.
Luckily, I came to collect my monthly stipend myself, otherwise my senior brother would have been bullied by Long Aotian again.
"I'm fine, thank you!"
Lin Fan was a little confused about Su Youxue. Why had she been helping him all these past few days? Had she lost her mind?
"System, did you do something to her?"
"Host, how can you slander someone's innocence? I am a legitimate system," the system replied.
"Can I see her attribute panel and check her favorability rating?" Lin Fan asked.
"Please stop your wishful thinking, host. I am not a romance system!"
Damn you, you damn system! I just wanted to see if she was hostile towards me, deliberately cooperating with Long Aotian's act, or if she had really changed.
Anyone who wants to be in a relationship now just wants to live a carefree life.
Noticing the subtle change in Lin Fan, Su Youxue was very happy; at least he no longer looked at her like a stranger as he had yesterday.
She believed that her former senior brother would definitely return.
"By the way, Senior Brother, my little white dog has been having some problems lately, and I'd like to ask you to take a look at what's wrong!" Su Youxue said softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
"That pet cat?" Lin Fan thought back for a moment. The pet cat was actually a little white tiger. It seemed that it was about to awaken its bloodline talent during this period, so it was a little uncomfortable.
No wonder the system rewarded me with that spiritual fruit; this scheme is intricate and interconnected.
"Take me to see it!" He also wanted to see what the White Tiger's awakening was like.
In the previous life, it was Long Aotian who helped Baihu awaken his bloodline. If Su Youxue really changed, even if they were no longer fellow disciples, they would at least not be enemies.
"Okay!" Su Youxue smiled radiantly, her eyes almost squinting into slits.
He followed Su Youxue to Yunke Peak. Not far from Dingyun Residence was Piaoxue Residence, the residence of his third junior sister.
She opened the door and called out, "Little Bai, I've brought my senior brother to see you."
Meow
Little White lay listlessly on the bed, whimpering twice. When Lin Fan came in, it gently raised its head and licked his palm before slumping back down.
Lin Fan touched its belly and sensed a violent force surging within it, tormenting its body and mind, which was why it was in so much pain.
"Senior Brother, how is Little White?" Su Youxue asked anxiously. Little White had been listless lately, and she had asked her master about it, but had not received a definite answer. She only knew that its condition was very bad.
For some reason, she felt that her senior brother could help her deal with Xiaobai's problem, so she asked him to come over.
“There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s like it’s about to transform into a demon!” Lin Fan said.
Xiao Bai rolled its eyes. "You're the demon, your whole family are demons! I'm a divine beast, okay?"
"Transformation into a demon? You mean Little White is going to become a spirit pet?" Su Youxue asked with delight, her face beaming with joy.
Xiao Bai was picked up by her before she joined the Qingxiao Sect, and it has always been by her side. If it could become a spirit pet, it could cultivate in the future and stay with her forever.
Lin Fan picked up Xiaobai, stroked its soft, shiny fur, and suddenly asked, "Did you give it water?"
"Not yet, I'll go get the spirit spring now." Su Youxue left quickly, and Lin Fan took out the divine essence and spirit fruit, whispering, "Little one, eat it quickly."
Little White sniffed the fruit, then swallowed it in one gulp.
roar
A deafening roar, filled with the oppressive aura of a beast king, resounded, its powerful force causing Lin Fan to stagger back several steps.
Little White's fur shone brightly, emitting an extremely dazzling white light. Then, golden patterns appeared on its fur, and the character "王" (king) slowly emerged on its forehead.
The might of the Beast King surged across the heavens and earth, and all the demonic beasts within a hundred miles trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground upon sensing the power of the White Tiger.
The elders of Spirit Beast Peak frowned as they looked at the spirit beasts they had raised lying listlessly on the ground. They were quite annoyed. What was wrong with them today? Were they feeling unwell?
Xiao Bai's aura was like a rainbow, with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger. He stretched on the bed, letting out a series of tiger roars.
Its aura surged, breaking through from the first rank to the peak of the second rank in an instant, and even Lin Fan sensed the danger.
Is this the White Tiger? It ate a fruit, awakened its bloodline talent, and broke through to the peak of the second tier in an instant. It truly deserves to be called a top-tier divine beast.
Looking at its dazzling white fur, so smooth and lustrous, it's no wonder Su Youxue loved it so much, holding it in her arms every day. Everyone loves white tigers, and so does he.
"Alright, Junior Sister will be back soon, calm down a bit." Lin Fan stroked its fur, and Little White nudged his hand with its head, enjoying the gesture. The markings on its body and the character "王" (king) on its forehead were all hidden.
The White Tiger is a top-tier divine beast. Even old monsters at the Nascent Soul stage would be envious if they saw it. It needs to conceal its aura, otherwise it would affect Su Youxue's safety.
"Xiaobai, are you all better?" Su Youxue held its usual bowl, and seeing it return to its lively and energetic self, she was overjoyed and hugged it, kneading it repeatedly.
She checked on Xiaobai's condition, and the violent power dissipated.
"Since Xiaobai is alright, I'll head back now." Lin Fan stretched and was about to leave when his sleeve was tugged.
"Senior Brother." Su Youxue's face flushed slightly as she lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."
"You helped me today, so we're even." Lin Fan waved his hand and quickly left.
Su Youxue hugged and kissed Xiaobai, her joy barely concealed. She could feel that her relationship with her senior brother had progressed further, and the cold response was no longer the same.
"Little Bai, do you think Senior Brother might like me?"
Holding Xiaobai, she recalled her tense relationship with her senior brother in the past and all the excessive things she had done, so her senior brother must hate her.
Meow~
Little White extended its paw and then shook its head in a very human-like manner.
"What did you say? I've really raised you for nothing, you ungrateful wretch! Humph, you'll sleep by yourself tonight." Su Youxue angrily put it aside and then lay down.
Little White jumped onto the windowsill, the moonlight making it look especially beautiful. It made meowing sounds, as if calling for something.
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the hidden quest. The host helped the White Tiger awaken its bloodline. Reward: a pair of Flowing Cloud Shoes!"
Lin Fan was somewhat numb to the system's voice; it seemed to be trying every possible way to stuff things into his hands without any pretense.
Long Aotian returned to his residence, his mood extremely violent. This was the first time he had been targeted by Su Youxue like this, even though she had been so caring towards him before.
He had considered Su Youxue his possession the moment he first saw her, and had been plotting how to take her for the past few days. However, she ended up helping Lin Fan, which embarrassed him.
How dare he? In his heart, Long Aotian felt that Lin Fan had used strange methods to bewitch Su Youxue, otherwise how could she have suddenly changed so much?
His master is now in a deep sleep and rarely wakes up since he came to the Qingxiao Sect. If possible, he must ask his master to find a solution.
"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on my woman will die! Lin Fan, you're dead!"
He smashed things in the room in a fit of rage, startling Fang Shao.
"Senior Brother Aotian!" she said cautiously.
"Come here, I need to calm down!" Long Aotian said expressionlessly.
Fang Shao approached, and Long Aotian picked her up and roughly threw her onto the bed. Then, he transformed into a beast, and the bed curtains fell, accompanied by the sound of tearing fabric.
Soon, with a gasp, the bed curtains swayed, accompanied by creaking and scraping sounds.
...
Lin Fan whistled, put his hands behind his head, looked at the bright moon, and recalled the events of the past few days.
Indeed, everything was different. Both his master and junior sister had changed, and this strange behavior aroused his suspicion.
Why did they change like this? As for what happened after his death, no one knows. Could it be that something important happened after his death that caused their change?
He guessed it couldn't be because of him. Since he was exiled, he hadn't seen any of his fellow disciples, and even after becoming a demon, no one knew who that demon was.
"System, have Su Youxue and Master been reborn?" he asked.
He felt that this was the only possibility: Long Aotian had done something that made them hate him, and that's why they changed after being reborn. Otherwise, they wouldn't have changed overnight.
They no longer cared about Long Aotian and remained calm about his two assassination attempts.
The system remained silent, as quiet as if it were dead.
"If they were all reborn, they would have the memories of their past lives. Perhaps they also have a system that makes the enemy of my enemy my friend. In my past life, I was always against Long Aotian, so they chose me as an ally or used me to deal with Long Aotian."
After some analysis, Lin Fan concluded that this was indeed the case; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why they would change overnight.
Sure enough, men are very clear-headed when they're not in a relationship, and their logical thinking is comparable to Sherlock Holmes. I'm a genius.
He returned to his lodgings, looked up, and was immediately taken aback. An uninvited guest had come to his lodgings—someone he could never have imagined visiting him at night for the first time.
"Junior Sister Chu, what brings you here?"
