Chapter 39 World 5 Climbing High Branches: Which One Isn't Climbing?
Yu Xiao only received the system when her younger brother brought his friend home.
The system had just bound itself to him as the host and immediately bombarded him with the so-called "original plot".
It turns out that after Yu Xiao's younger brother met a poor boy, he fell deeply in love with him and even neglected his older brother, always going against him.
As a major general in the military, Yu Xiao is a sentinel with a tendency to differentiate his spiritual body into combat forms. Therefore, he finds the poor young sentinel, whose spiritual body is just as aggressive as his own, even more displeasing.
Logically speaking, Yu Xiao, whose status and position completely overwhelmed the poor boy in every aspect, should have easily dealt with him.
Unfortunately, the poor boy is the protagonist of the novel world, born with the protagonist's halo, so he's not so easy for Yu Xiao to take away.
Furthermore, because the novel's world requires drama, Yu Xiao is as if she has been given a mentally challenged aura in front of the person who seduced her brother, causing her relationship with her brother to become increasingly estranged, while the two young couples become increasingly intimate.
Yu Xiao felt very unhappy.
Even though she was furious about the terrible plot the system told her, Yu Xiao didn't immediately lash out. She still greeted her younger brother and the little guests he brought back with a smile.
Even Yu Xiao's spiritual form manifested after being summoned by its master, smiling at the two students standing at the bottom of the villa's stairs.
The Baiji dolphin is an incredibly cute little animal, but anyone familiar with Yu Xiao's past achievements on the interstellar battlefield would not underestimate this adorable dolphin.
"That's my brother's spirit form, isn't it cute?"
Yu Xiao's younger brother, nicknamed "Char Siu," has already come to regard the sentinel below, who will kill him in the future, as one of his own. The sentinel is very informal and wants to push the poor boy towards Yu Xiao.
And he was quite emotional when introducing Yu Xiao.
And so, this lively little guide, who was a bit oblivious to the atmosphere, became a strange bridge between Yu Xiao and Ling Yue.
Yu Xiao didn't react in any particular way; he was still smiling at the person his younger brother introduced.
Because there's no real effort put in, it's easy to maintain a facade of peace with just a fake smile.
Yu Xiao is now more focused on how to use the system and the resources at her disposal to kill the male protagonist who will kill her in the future as soon as possible.
When his younger brother introduced him to the person below and explained their relationship, he listened indifferently, not paying much attention.
"Yueyue, Yueyue, say something!"
The foolish younger brother finally realized that when he introduced Yu Xiao and Ling Yue, he used a useless introduction, and the two of them didn't seem very interested in getting to know each other.
He was somewhat afraid of his brother, so he didn't dare to touch him, but instead touched his friend with whom he had an ambiguous relationship.
From Yu Xiaotong's brother's rambling introduction and the original plot the system showed him, he already knew that this poor boy's name was Ling Yue, and his brother seemed to really enjoy calling him by the nickname Ling Yue.
After being urged, Ling Yue finally moved. He looked at Yu Xiao and suddenly his face showed an abnormal expression for a moment. However, the military academy student's quick physical reaction had already made a reaction to cover up his behavior before his brain realized that he had been impolite.
His initially rude smile quickly turned into a gesture of covering his face and rubbing away the stiff muscles.
The poor boy covered his face in front of Yu Xiao to avoid revealing his rude expression, and turned his head slightly to maintain a semblance of peace.
Furthermore, Yu Xiao clearly heard the poor boy speak when he covered his face:
"It looks great."
Yu Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly.
According to the original book, the poor boy was not the kind of person who flattered others, and his cuteness was just a facade, as he had followed the baiji dolphin in killing countless enemies.
Even if the poor boy is just a student and doesn't have a clear understanding of the dangers of the outside world, he wouldn't use the adjective "beautiful" to describe Yu Xiao's spiritual form.
Furthermore, Yu Xiao felt as if the male lead had looked down on her.
"You think my spirit form is beautiful?"
Although the major general, who had a distinguished record of military exploits, had already committed a great deal of murder, he did not appear aggressive on the surface, yet he could still make those with keen senses perceive danger.
"elder brother."
Even Yu Xiao's younger brother, who was related to him by blood, noticed that Yu Xiao was acting strangely and tried to stand in front of Ling Yue to shield him from Yu Xiao's oppressive aura.
Yu Xiao found this extremely interesting.
Even though the friends who brought the mentally challenged younger brother home paid close attention to him, if Yu Xiao got into a scheming game, how could this little kid possibly outmaneuver Yu Xiao?
So Yu Xiao quickly put on a mask that made her seem quite easy to talk to, "Second brother, what are you worried about?"
"I think I have a good liking for this little kid. I'd like to chat with him a bit longer. You go and play first."
Although the silly boy was silly, he knew what kind of person his brother really was. He didn't really trust Yu Xiao, and still protected his friend like a mother hen, afraid that if his friend left his sight, Yu Xiao would kill him in a second.
Yu Xiao sighed, then suddenly reached past her younger brother and grabbed Ling Yue's shoulder:
"Ling Yue, you talk to this spoiled child. How could I possibly hurt you?"
Even if Yu Xiao had already harbored murderous intent towards Ling Yue, she wouldn't go so far as to kill this child in front of the surveillance cameras after he entered her home.
At the very least, it should be done secretly, under the cover of darkness, to kill the person.
Ling Yue looked at the fair, bony hand resting on his shoulder and suddenly swallowed.
Then he comforted his friend:
"Mr. Yu won't hurt me, don't worry."
Seeing that his friend still looked wary, fearing that Ling Yue might cause trouble later, Ling Yue continued to reason with his friend:
"Mr. Yu and I are both combat-oriented Sentinels, and he is a powerful senior. We hit it off immediately, and I want to become his apprentice and exchange combat experience."
The guide, who was a little slow to notice, didn't realize that two people were exchanging glances behind his back, but Yu Xiao wasn't going to waste any more time on this silly kid.
“You’re right, kid. We hit it off immediately, and I wanted to give him some pointers on his studies.”
Yu Xiao intentionally or unintentionally separated her brother from her future enemy, who would turn her brother against her.
"Ling Yue and I are both combat-type Sentinels. You probably won't need anything I can give to Ling Yue. Go to your room first."
The little white dolphin chirped a few times on Yu Xiao's shoulder, its voice exceptionally ethereal.
The younger guide had no idea that two people were about to fight while carrying him, but it was clear that the older brother's innate bloodline suppression of the younger brother would soon prevent him from having any other thoughts.
I had no choice but to leave the friend I brought home with my brother, who wasn't a good person, and then I ran away.
...
"Sit down." Yu Xiao led Ling Yue into his study and personally handed the guest the tea he had poured himself. Seeing that the little dog was holding the cup but dared not take a sip, his mood improved.
The little dog was afraid that Yu Xiao would point out his mistakes, so he didn't even dare to act too obviously.
It was the first time Ling Yue had been invited to his home by a friend of such high status that he would never normally even dream of meeting him. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous, but his nervousness vanished the moment he saw his friend's older brother.
This is because humans possess a spiritual body, and Yu Xiao thus exposed her spiritual body to Ling Yue.
So Ling Yue got a clearer view of the slender, beautiful white chicken.
The fairy, known as the "Goddess of the Water," performed several somersaults in mid-air and gracefully swam to its master's side.
Then he smiled at Ling Yue.
The intelligence of a multi-spirited being is no different from that of an ordinary animal, so Ling Yue finds it easier to get along with the little white dolphin than with Yu Xiao.
So Ling Yue smiled at the cute little white dolphin.
Then he was kissed by the cute little fish.
The little white dolphin did indeed obey its master's command, placing its slender kisses on the military academy student's face, which had not yet experienced the hardships of life.
Yu Xiao poured herself a cup of tea and sat down with her legs crossed. She had clearly taken the scene of the little fish and the human interacting intimately as an interesting drama, and then woke the puppy from her beautiful dream.
"I've already shown you my spiritual form, and he likes you a lot. If you want fairness, shouldn't you also show me your spiritual form?"
Ling Yue then belatedly realized that Yu Xiao had said she wanted to discuss academic matters with him.
Originally, it was thought that this was just an excuse for the patriarch of the wealthy family to teach an outsider a lesson, but unexpectedly, Yu Xiao really intended to teach and mentor Ling Yue.
And so a small, dark dog appeared in Ling Yue's arms.
Since they are not currently in a combat situation, and Ling Yue is not a student with much combat experience, the puppy does not appear aggressive at the moment.
Before Yu Xiao could even see the puppy's breed clearly, his spiritual body snatched it away and began rubbing its head with long, thin kisses, making the puppy yelp incessantly.
Ling Yue's expression also became somewhat subtle.
Yu Xiao knew that Ling Yue was currently experiencing the sensation of his head being constantly rubbed, which she figured wasn't very comfortable.
Although Bai Jitun is very cute, it would probably feel quite uncomfortable if he bullied it relentlessly without regard for his own will.
The evidence is the system that can monitor Ling Yue's current status in real time. Many of Ling Yue's values have started to rise, indicating that he was not feeling well before.
But some people actually found it "enjoyable" to be tortured.
Yu Xiao felt that this system seemed rather unserious and useless. Apart from the descriptions of the original plot, many of the parts involving memories could be matched with Yu Xiao's real-life trajectory.
Besides, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between real and fake.
Nobody knows whether those things are accurate or not.
But since this system that can foresee one's future can help one, it's better than nothing.
Yu Xiao guessed that the reason he would get the system was very cliché: because he was involved in the villain's identity in the original work, he might be killed by the male protagonist in the future. However, the system couldn't bear to let Yu Xiao die, so it quietly descended into Yu Xiao's side.
Perhaps this system, whose reliability is uncertain, can serve as an opportunity to change the fate of cannon fodder.
Even though she realized that the system might be useful to her, Yu Xiao still felt quite unhappy.
She found herself to be the villain in the novel. Because of Ling Yue, a poor boy from the slums, she not only tried her best to stop Ling Yue from getting along with her younger brother, but also tried to kill Ling Yue several times. However, this only made the relationship between her younger brother and Ling Yue grow stronger.
In the end, Yu Xiao's death didn't even prompt the male protagonist to kill him. He died from a mental breakdown because he couldn't find a guide to soothe him for a long time.
Now, Yu Xiao's little white dolphin has clearly fallen ill again, and has started doing some very... things to the puppy.
The spiritual entity does not have symbolic, indescribable organs, but its existence is so mysterious that it is destined to have some instincts similar to those of animals.
Like humans, cetaceans can be lustful at any time, making it quite obvious how lecherous this dolphin's spirit truly is.
As the puppy struggled, Yu Xiao finally managed to identify its breed.
It is a Pomeranian with a metallic-gold coat.
The iron-plated gold pattern on a fierce dog like a Tibetan Mastiff would definitely make it one in a million, but even a small breed like a Pomeranian shouldn't be underestimated.
Ling Yue's tendency to differentiate was detected as that of a Sentinel, so his mental combat ability is definitely not weak. His cute and clingy characteristics are just a facade to deceive outsiders.
Yu Xiao watched as Ling Yue's expression became extremely awkward due to the abnormality of his mental body.
He found it amusing that the two spirit beings were playing around like that, so he didn't forcefully stop his baiji dolphin from continuing to do things that were a bit out of line.
The little white dolphin finally managed to build a good relationship with Ling Yue's Pomeranian spirit, then started pinning him to the ground and doing some very strange things, as if it was just bored and restless if it didn't bully the little dog.
Yu Xiao also felt that the interaction between the two little ones looked somewhat heartwarming, but Ling Yue might not think so.
The senses of a spiritual being are naturally connected to the individual, so Ling Yue felt uncomfortable when he was constantly being bullied.
However, Yu Xiao was unaffected when the puppy, being bullied so badly, started biting and scratching the Baiji dolphin because its mental strength level was far above Ling Yue's.
The puppy thus became a great toy for the little fish.
I don't know how much time passed.
Ling Yue's hands were shaky; the pressure from his mental body made it impossible for him to concentrate on gripping the cup.
The little white piglet had finally had enough of the Pomeranian, but it still couldn't bear to put the toy down. Instead, it floated over to Yu Xiao's side while still holding the toy.
It then made a call, typical of fish, directed at its owner.
The spirit and its master have a unique way of communicating. Yu Xiao only heard the little white dolphin call a few times before she roughly understood what the little guy meant.
Yu Xiao placed her hand on her temples, carefully sensing the changes occurring in her mind.
I found that the pain that I used to have to suppress with all my might to endure has indeed improved a lot.
Because he used his mental energy too much in battle, and because his level was too high, there were almost no guides who could provide him with mental guidance.
However, when he bullies Ling Yue, he can temporarily cure those chronic illnesses that have been bothering him for a long time.
Yu Xiao had to endure physical and mental pain for a long time, but Ling Yue's appearance brought a glimmer of hope.
Furthermore, given the system's warning to Yu Xiao about Ling Yue's potential to kill him in the future, Yu Xiao couldn't help but remain wary of the puppy.
Killing this high-achieving military academy student would be easy for Yu Xiao, but he wasn't planning to do it.
It would be a waste of the country's talent, and this is the medicine that Yu Xiao can use to treat his illness; it is the only "doctor" that can alleviate Yu Xiao's mental and physical abnormalities.
How much do you know about my affairs?
So Ling Yue recited the part about Yu Xiao from the political education textbook.
Furthermore, the most crucial part was omitted: Yu Xiao's excessive mental strength meant that no guide could help him with mental adjustment.
But why did Yu Xiao ask herself this?
Because they are still in school, very few of these military academy students have fallen to the point where they need to find a guide for mental counseling.
However, Ling Yue had already anticipated what he might encounter after he went to the battlefield.
Those mental entities that were in poor condition due to excessive battles, and those that recovered their health after receiving mental guidance or treatment from a guide.
Ling Yue knew roughly what they looked like.
He fell in love with Yu Xiao almost at first sight, but he was also instinctively afraid of her because Yu Xiao's mental state was quite unstable and he might get hurt if he rashly came into contact with her... No, wait?
Although the Iron-Clad Pomeranian had been bullying the Little White-tailed Dolphin for a long time, Ling Yue only felt a little awkward during the initial period when they had close contact, but he didn't actually feel particularly uncomfortable.
And he seems to have a natural inclination to be bullied, and he can adapt to even the most unpleasant feelings.
Or perhaps, because it was Yu Xiao who bestowed the feeling of pain upon him, Ling Yue was able to find joy in suffering.
For Ling Yue, the interactions between Xiaobai Jituan and the Pomeranian were all positive; he was not harmed by them.
It's a miracle that Sentinels, who should be irreconcilable enemies, can maintain a good relationship after such close contact between their spiritual entities.
Yu Xiao, who could not be treated by the guide, seemed to be in much better condition than before, and Ling Yue did not suffer any major damage.
At least it didn't frighten Ling Yue as much as it had at the beginning.
"He really likes your spirit form." Yu Xiao stroked the little white dolphin's back, her smile making her look even more like a kind and approachable senior. "Would you like to stay with me?"
Ling Yue looked at the baiji dolphin hugging the iron-clad golden pomi and acting cute, and then at Yu Xiao, who had a smile on her face but still exuded an imposing aura.
Having spent so many years struggling in the slums, he naturally has a fairly accurate understanding of the situation, knowing that he is not being chosen, but rather that he has no choice at all.
Therefore, no matter what Yu Xiao said, he could only agree.
Ling Yue simply laid out the facts, speaking frankly and openly with Yu Xiao:
"If I didn't want to, I probably wouldn't be able to leave this room."
The mental turmoil among the military officers has been alleviated; all that's needed is for a work-study student to feel pain, and the bigwigs will weigh the pros and cons.
"Don't say that." Yu Xiao issued an ultimatum to the Baiji dolphin. The cruel yet adorable little fish finally gave up trying to snuggle up with the Iron-Clad Golden Pomeranian. "You should have wanted to, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come back with that idiot, my second son."
Ling Yue remained silent. He knew that what Yu Xiao said was indeed the truth. His friendship with the second son of the Yu family was indeed motivated by a desire to see that silly boy and enrich himself.
He was there to climb the social ladder, but not in the way Yu Xiao was referring to. However, this was difficult to explain, so the usually taciturn puppy had no choice but to remain silent.
After receiving its owner's approval, the little white porpoise drifted from Yu Xiao's shoulder to Ling Yue's shoulder, but the little guy was clearly more interested in the Iron-Clad Golden Pomeranian.
They are both in good condition and do not need to do anything extra, so the two little animals have successfully reached a harmonious situation.
The baby dolphin extended its fin to the Pomeranian and successfully obtained a clover-shaped paw print on the fin.
Even though he had been bullied by the little white pig, the Pomeranian was still willing to have close contact with him.
Perhaps just as Ling Yue fell in love with Yu Xiao at first sight, this little dog, who was destined to live only in the forest, also fell in love with his fish at first sight.
Watching the animals' close interaction, Yu Xiao was speechless...
This spirit is nothing like Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao used to spoil him a lot, thinking that he was just a little animal and it would be nice for him to live a happy life like this.
They were not supposed to live long originally, but things took a turn for the better after they met Ling Yue.
So the little white piglet is becoming increasingly reluctant to part with its gold-plated Pomeranian...
The Pomeranian, which looked about the size of a cup and had been held in the arms of the baiji dolphin, was finally freed and hurriedly hid back in Ling Yue's arms.
But Ling Yue couldn't escape it.
He knelt down at Yu Xiao's feet, holding the Iron Bag Golden Pomeranian.
From the physical body to the spiritual body, everything must become the master's toy.
But the puppy is not afraid of such a future; it even relishes it.
...
Under Yu Xiao's guidance, the puppy's growth at school progressed rapidly.
He eventually rose to a high position, but even then he still had to kneel at his master's feet.
To the outside world, he is a young and rising star in the military with a bald head, but in front of Yu Xiao, he is nothing more than a dog.
It's also common to do it directly in the office...
Sometimes Yu Xiao would tease the puppy by mentioning that Ling Yue and the second son of the Yu family had once dated, which always caused the puppy's mood to change drastically.
Although Yu Xiao always kept a good balance and never caused irreversible harm to the puppy, she found it fun to tease it, and sometimes she inevitably went too far.
"No……"
Upon hearing Yu Xiao's words, the puppy's stats began to rise again, and it kept pressing Yu Xiao's knees with its paws, as if it were kneading.
"I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, and I had absolutely no feelings for the second young master."
"He and I are really just friends... um..."
Yu Xiao immediately shut the puppy's mouth. This wretched little dog dared to say things he didn't want to hear; it really needed to be taught a lesson. Sure enough, she had to be even harsher on it.
The system interface refreshed silently, as if agreeing with Yu Xiao's statement.
[A happy ending: The process was full of twists and turns, but in the end you were still very happy.]
Never mind, the system is more important.
Yu Xiao felt she needed to focus on the present.
