Chapter 6

Pei Yuhan no longer cared about this bit of intimacy. "Do not call me Wife!"

"Just a moment ago, Wife called me Husband…"

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Pei Yuhan glared at him. She was going to be angered to death by this Rebellious Disciple. She had given him everything—the sword, the Dao, and now, she had even given herself to him!

"Hehehe, alright!" Lin Yi knew the principle that too much of a good thing could be bad.

With a flash, taking advantage of the moment Yu Xiaotang was still in a daze, he appeared behind her. Lin Yi crouched down and then tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hey, Junior Sister, what are you looking at?"

Lin Yi naturally couldn't let Yu Xiaotang leave while lost in wild thoughts like that. He wanted to stick with his Master for a while longer; this was the Inner World, after all, and who knew if someone might come to loot the corpses later.

Although the System was watching, he still didn't want to drag things out.

Just like how he had planned a series of events to trick Pei Yuhan the moment he obtained the System.

[Task "Childhood Sweethearts" detected]

[Yu Xiaotang likes her Senior Brother very much, but she accidentally discovered the affair between her Senior Brother and Master, and she cannot accept it.]

[In the Inner World, such a Junior Sister is usually snatched away by a homewrecker. You don't want a homewrecker, do you? Lin Yi?]

[Then make your move. Rather than letting other men possess your Junior Sister, or even turning her into a public bus, it is better for you to become her only light.]

[Private cars are a good civilization.]

[Childhood Sweethearts: Make Yu Xiaotang accept your relationship with Pei Yuhan and make her your exclusive possession.]

[Reward: Dao-Grade Scripture – Great Sun Scripture (Partial)]

This was a task issued by the System after Lin Yi discovered Yu Xiaotang peeping last night.

It was just that "partial" part that was a bit of an eyesore. If you're going to give it, just give the whole thing; why only partial…

According to the System, this was because the System would detect what he currently needed and then issue appropriate rewards based on the difficulty of the task.

He would naturally obtain the Complete Manual in the future.

Chapter 9. Master? Are you really this heartless?

"Senior Brother!!!" Yu Xiaotang jumped out directly. Her gaze darted quickly toward the soft couch. Sure enough, there was only one female figure on it. She didn't need to think to know that it was her Master, and as for what was behind…

Lin Yi looked smilingly at the shocked Yu Xiaotang. "Junior Sister… you saw it all, didn't you?"

"I…" Yu Xiaotang subconsciously wanted to deny it, but immediately after, an inexplicable anger made her stubbornly lift her head and glare at her beloved Senior Brother. "So what if I did? Do you want to kill me to silence me!!!"

"What if I said yes?" A cold, clear voice sounded behind Yu Xiaotang. Yu Xiaotang was startled. She turned halfway and took small steps backward until she was facing Pei Yuhan and Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was a bit surprised. Didn't his beautiful Master say she would leave this matter to him to handle?

He and Pei Yuhan exchanged a glance; the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Lin Yi understood Pei Yuhan's intention; it was nothing more than her playing the bad cop while he played the good cop.

As for killing Yu Xiaotang? Neither Pei Yuhan nor Lin Yi had such a thought.

Pei Yuhan was undoubtedly a person who valued affection, and Lin Yi was the same. For the people they cherished, they never wanted them to be harmed in any way.

Pei Yuhan looked at Yu Xiaotang. She had originally been afraid to Face the little disciple who had seen her and Lin Yi's embarrassing affair, but upon second thought, they would be seeing each other all the time in the future, so it was better to resolve the matter now.

"Then I will return this life to you…" Yu Xiaotang's expression was aggrieved, but she refused to lower her head and say a word of begging for mercy.

Perhaps she also knew that as long as she lowered her head and said a few soft words, promising not to spread the word, they would still be good Master and disciple in the future.

It was just that… Yu Xiaotang didn't want to compromise herself like that. She didn't care about other things, but only when it came to her Senior Brother… only when it came to her Senior Brother, she could not compromise.

This was perhaps a common failing of Sword Cultivators; they pressed forward relentlessly and never bowed their heads to accept fate.

"Hmph!" Pei Yuhan's expression turned even colder. She stood quietly in place, yet it made Yu Xiaotang feel as if she were facing a snow-capped mountain that had not melted for years.

Yu Xiaotang stubbornly lifted her head.

"Master, I think this matter can still be discussed. Xiao Tang only saw it unintentionally…" Seeing that the two were about to fight, Lin Yi's expression changed. He walked quickly to Yu Xiaotang's side, pulled her behind him, and faced Pei Yuhan's Aura alone.

Yu Xiaotang looked at Lin Yi's back; she suddenly had the urge to shed tears.

Seeing this scene, Pei Yuhan stiffened her Face, and the Aura of a great cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage was fully unleashed!

Lin Yi's expression changed. Going this big? Master?

He had originally thought they would just scare Yu Xiaotang a little. This silly child wasn't very smart, and if the two of them played along, they could easily confuse her.

Pei Yuhan chuckled inwardly. Her move wasn't just to keep Yu Xiaotang from spreading the news about her and Lin Yi; it was also to teach Lin Yi a lesson. Who told him to bully her so much yesterday and this morning!

She was a great cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage, and the Sect Master of the renowned Cold Palace Sword Sect in the entire Qiongming Domain; didn't she need Face?!

In bed, fine, she admitted she was no match for Lin Yi, but in terms of cultivation, she could easily crush him by several streets.

The Aura of Lin Yi, who had just entered the Early Stage of the Golden Core Stage, surged from his body, barely resisting Pei Yuhan's Aura.

"Master! Please think twice!! Xiao Tang is your beloved disciple!!" Lin Yi shouted at the top of his lungs.

Yu Xiaotang looked at Lin Yi's figure with teary eyes. Behind Lin Yi, she did not feel even a shred of pressure from Pei Yuhan. Although she was a bit surprised that her Senior Brother had suddenly reached the Golden Core Stage, this was obviously not the time to talk about that.

"Senior Brother, don't be like this… If Master wants to kill me, let her kill me… Anyway, I was picked up by her during a famine… You are already injured…" Yu Xiaotang reached out and hugged Lin Yi's waist. Her heart ached for him.

As for the previous incident where she saw Lin Yi take the initiative to bully Pei Yuhan, she selectively forgot it. In her heart, she had already concluded that it was Master who forced her Senior Brother to take the initiative.

"It's okay… Xiao Tang… Master just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart…" Lin Yi patted the small hand Yu Xiaotang had wrapped around his waist.

Seeing this scene, Pei Yuhan felt a bit unhappy.

She had originally prepared herself mentally. Although Lin Yi didn't say it, she had already accepted the situation between Lin Yi and Yu Xiaotang. She would just treat it as the few of them continuing to live together, and besides, she couldn't handle Lin Yi alone…

"Lin Yi, move aside. Don't make things difficult for your Master."

"No, Xiao Tang is my Junior Sister, and I will not let you, Master, kill her!"

"Master! Don't hurt Senior Brother. I saw everything. If you have the ability, come at me!!"

Pei Yuhan was numb. This play was becoming more and more realistic. Her current thoughts were exactly the same as the Pei Yuhan that Yu Xiaotang had imagined in her head.

She wanted to chop up Yu Xiaotang more and more! Especially as these melodramatic dialogues continued to unfold…

Pei Yuhan took a deep breath. "If you, Lin Yi, can endure under my Aura, I will spare you both."

Pei Yuhan said no more, her eyes like knives as she looked at Yu Xiaotang, who was now standing by Lin Yi's side, holding his hand.

Yu Xiaotang was crying while tightly clutching Lin Yi's hand.

After a long while, seeing that Lin Yi's body was about to collapse from exhaustion, Pei Yuhan finally withdrew her Aura. Beside Lin Yi, Yu Xiaotang was already crying her eyes out.

In the end, it was Lin Yi who had resisted all the Aura.

Lin Yi fell to his knees with a thud. Large drops of sweat from his forehead hit the ground, and his undergarments were already soaked through with sweat.

Lin Yi secretly vowed to take revenge tonight. If he didn't make Pei Yuhan wail, he wouldn't deserve to be called Lin Yi!

Yu Xiaotang knelt beside Lin Yi, supporting his hand. Her Face had already been washed over by tears.

"Senior Brother… wuwuwu… Senior Brother… I'm sorry…"

Lin Yi forced himself to reach out and wipe Yu Xiaotang's Face, but her Face immediately turned into a tear-streaked mess again.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Xiao Tang, don't cry. You won't be pretty if you keep crying…"

Is this the price of starting a harem? It's always him who gets hurt…

Lin Yi shot a glare at Pei Yuhan from the corner of his eye. Pei Yuhan was smiling inwardly, but her Face remained cold on the outside.

"Wuwuwu… mm-hmm, I won't cry. Senior Brother, come, let's go. Let's go back to our own room; we shouldn't be here!" Yu Xiaotang sobbed, then wanted to carry Lin Yi on her back to return to her room.

She didn't give Pei Yuhan a single pleasant look.

Pei Yuhan didn't care either.

However…

"You can leave, but Lin Yi cannot."

Chapter 10. Yu Xiaotang: Amazing!

Hearing this, Yu Xiaotang turned around and glared at Pei Yuhan. "Pei Yuhan! Senior Brother is already in this state! What else do you want!!!"

Oh ho, now Yu Xiaotang doesn't even call her Master anymore.

Pei Yuhan's Face darkened, and she glared at Lin Yi, who was snickering in Yu Xiaotang's arms. Lin Yi quickly suppressed his smile and feigned weakness.

Well, it wasn't exactly feigned; every part of his body was exhausted, but after enduring for so long under the Aura of a great cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage, the Golden Core in his Dantian had become increasingly solid.

If he hadn't known about this benefit and that he could play the victim to his Junior Sister, he would have begged for mercy long ago.

That way, Yu Xiaotang might have been even more moved.

Just think about it: her beloved Senior Brother begging Pei Yuhan for mercy for her sake—is that lack of backbone? That's simply valuing her more than a man's dignity, alright!

"Junior Sister, you go first. Maybe Master has something to talk to me about." Lin Yi rubbed Yu Xiaotang's head, causing her to turn her head away in a huff.

"No, that old hag definitely doesn't have anything good in mind for you!"

It's over; her own little disciple is now calling her an old hag.

Pei Yuhan was torn between laughing and crying, but she stiffened her Face. "I am going to discuss the Yin and Yang Dao with your Senior Brother."

"Yin, Yin and Yang Dao?!!" Yu Xiaotang stammered. In other words… Senior Brother is going to be drained dry by the old hag again?

No, absolutely not. Senior Brother is hers; she cannot let the old hag act so wantonly anymore.

Just as Yu Xiaotang wanted to refuse, she saw Lin Yi's weak complexion. If the old hag did it again… would Senior Brother be crushed to death?

"I, I also want to discuss the Yin and Yang Dao with Senior Brother!" Yu Xiaotang said stammeringly, a flush of red flashing across her Face.

For a young girl, saying such bold words was still too difficult.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

In his consciousness, a stream of text scrolled across the System panel.

[Childhood Sweethearts completed. Reward has been issued; please claim it yourself.]

[Yu Xiaotang's Favorability has reached 100/100 (Lover); locked.]

[From now on, Yu Xiaotang will be your exclusive possession; she has detached from the Inner World.]

[This is the first step you have taken in this chaotic world, but please do not be complacent; there are still many Fairies and Saintesses waiting for your salvation.]

[pure love modulation system is at your service.]

Aren't you called the pure love modulation system? If Lin Yi remembered correctly, the System was called Pure Love Modulation when it started.

[Please do not be rigid, Host.]

[The pure love modulation system will monitor homewrecker behavior in real-time.]

[Oppose the bull, eradicate the bull, and march toward the great ending of pure love.]

Lin Yi closed the System interface without hesitation. This System was becoming more and more improper.

Lin Yi lowered his head to look at Yu Xiaotang, who was looking up at him. The young girl shyly turned her head away.

Logically speaking, Yu Xiaotang shouldn't have reached 100% Favorability at this moment… Could it be that as long as the Favorability reaches its maximum at any given moment, the System will lock it in?

Then, with this kind of operation, he could play a bit more creatively.

For them, there was absolutely no difference between one hundred, ninety, or eighty; they were all devoted, just to different degrees, but for Lin Yi, it was completely different.

Once they reached 100 Favorability, the heroines would detach from the plot and return to the normal world.

Lin Yi pondered in his heart. He flicked Yu Xiaotang's delicate nose; this was undoubtedly completely different from that time yesterday evening.
