NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7 - The Heroine Development Plan
Those who had brought healing pills to the scene were beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret. They lamented why they hadn’t been the first to present their pills to the Holy Son; then, this opportunity would have been theirs.
At this point, the female lead’s injuries had mostly healed.
Looking puzzled, she asked Jun Jiuxiao, “Why did you save me and even give me a healing pill?”
Jun Jiuxiao didn’t answer her directly but turned to the people present and asked, “Does anyone know why she was beaten and left injured on the ground?”
Zhang Feng quickly responded again, “Reporting to the Holy Son, it was Wang Tengyun who noticed the right side of her face and had lustful intentions. When he saw her full face, he found her ugly and, in a fit of rage, tried to stab her with his sword to vent his anger. Everyone present was afraid of him and didn’t dare to intervene.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Tengfei immediately stepped forward and said, “Respected Holy Son, I truly didn’t know about Wang Tengyun’s misconduct. He took advantage of some prestige I have in the outer sect and acted recklessly. It was my oversight. Wang Tengyun and I have no further relations now, and I ask for your forgiveness.”
Jun Jiuxiao thought Wang Tengfei was indeed cannon fodder, utterly oblivious to the situation, daring to stand and speak so in front of him, even referring to himself as a prestigious disciple. How could an outer sect disciple be so presumptuous?
Jun Jiuxiao couldn’t be bothered to argue with this dying man any longer. With a serious yet somewhat friendly expression, he addressed the people present, “Wang Tengyun will be punished. In the Xuantian Holy Land, we do not tolerate such bullying and abuse of power.”
Then, turning to the female lead, he answered her question, “As the Holy Son of the Xuantian Holy Land, it is my duty to uphold justice for everyone. That is why I saved you and gave you the healing pill.”
The female lead looked incredulously at Jun Jiuxiao, trying to discern from his face if he was lying. However, Jun Jiuxiao’s acting skills, comparable to an Oscar-winning actor, made it impossible for her to see through him.
The people of Errand Peak were left with only admiration and respect for Jun Jiuxiao, confirming that the rumors were true. The Holy Son was indeed a noble, righteous, and kind-hearted gentleman. Having him as the Holy Son was a blessing for Xuantian Holy Land and its disciples.
Jun Jiuxiao, hearing the praise and seeing the admiration of the crowd, smiled even more warmly.
Seeing Jun Jiuxiao like this, 2233 felt it was unreal. The host it knew wasn’t like this at all. It was such a small system, yet so full of confusion.
Deciding not to dwell on it, 2233 continued with the task at hand and cautiously said to Jun Jiuxiao in his mind, 【Host, I’ve scanned all the information about the female lead. Would you like to see it?】
“Bring it over.” Jun Jiuxiao knew well that knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. Understanding both the male and female leads was crucial.
After reviewing the female lead’s information, Jun Jiuxiao could only exclaim, “Truly tragic.”
The female lead’s mother was a maid scarred all over her face. The head of the Ji family accidentally slept with her once during cultivation, resulting in the birth of the female lead. Considering them shameful, the head of the Ji family didn’t even give the girl a name at birth. It was only due to the pity of a distant relative that she was named Ji Lanqing.
Ji Lanqing’s mother died when she was three, without even a grave; her body was simply discarded outside to feed wild dogs. At seven, her innate spiritual bone was discovered and taken to be given to the main wife’s son.
At nine, it was found that her blood had the effect of enhancing fire abilities, and her blood was drawn to transfuse to the main wife’s daughter.
At twelve, her fire spirit body was discovered and forcibly transplanted to the main wife’s daughter, the same one who had her blood. Ji Lanqing was then raised as a medicine person to nourish the fire spirit body for the main wife’s daughter.
From nine onwards, she was cared for by a maid she considered a second mother. But it turned out the maid was sent by the main wife to monitor her, ensuring she had attachments and wouldn’t seek death.
The maid never truly cared for her, secretly mocking her behind her back, calling her an ugly freak and feeling nauseated at the sight of her, pretending to care while finding it utterly disgusting.
Miserable, miserable, miserable. Jun Jiuxiao felt like writing the word “miserable” on her forehead.
After reading about the female lead’s tragic experiences, Jun Jiuxiao continued to the later parts and couldn’t help but utter a curse in his mind. Luckily, only 2233 could hear it.
This female lead was truly extraordinary. The more tragic the heroine, the more heaven-defying they were. Her tragic experiences were proportional to her future achievements.
Red Lotus Karma Fire—she was born with Red Lotus Karma Fire! No wonder she could develop a fire spirit body and have an innate spiritual bone. It was all thanks to the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire, along with the Samadhi True Fire and the Nanming Li Fire, are known as the three great Heavenly Flames.
The Samadhi True Fire has long been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and can only be used for alchemy. Besides stimulating the activity of medicinal herbs, it has no other use.
The Nanming Li Fire belonged to the Phoenix clan of the demon race. The phoenixes capable of using it had all perished. The few survivors hid underground, fearing the Heavenly Dao’s extermination.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire is renowned for its ability to incinerate all things and had disappeared for millions of years. Unexpectedly, it has appeared on the female lead.
I wonder what it tastes like to barbecue with this Red Lotus Karma Fire. I really want to try it.
Suddenly, Jun Jiuxiao had a good idea in his mind, heh heh.
If he saved the female lead, taught her how to cultivate, provided her with resources, treated her well, helped her get revenge, and became the unattainable “white moonlight” in her heart…
Then, in a secret realm, he would find breakthrough spiritual medicines for her. When competing with the male lead for the spiritual medicines she needs for her breakthrough, he would be killed by the male lead. He wondered if the male and female leads would still end up together.
After all, the deceased white moonlight is the best white moonlight, especially if it’s the white moonlight who died for her. That would be irreplaceable.
On one side is the destined male lead, and on the other is the white moonlight who was killed for her sake. How will the female lead choose? Jun Jiuxiao was really curious. Should he give it a try?
Anyway, the male lead couldn’t really kill him. He could just fake his death when the time came.
If the male and female leads can still be together like this, Jun Jiuxiao would kill them both and let them be a loving couple in the underworld. Jun Jiuxiao sighed, realizing he really was a good person, unwilling to separate the two.
While Jun Jiuxiao was still thinking, the weak voice of 2233 came, 【Host, why are you so happy thinking about this? The female lead is thanking you. Why don’t you respond to her first and build a good relationship with her before carrying out missions?】
“Yeah, I should build a good relationship with the female lead.” Jun Jiuxiao nodded in agreement with 2233.
He looked at Ji Lanqing, who was still bowing to thank him, and reached out to help her up. “You don’t need to thank me. I just did what a Holy Son should do. Xuantian Holy Land is my home, and I have a responsibility to protect it.”
With a gentle expression, he asked Ji Lanqing, “I see that we have a connection. I am missing a maid in my cave. Would you be willing?”
Ji Lanqing thought to herself, with her ghostly appearance, he couldn’t possibly be interested in her beauty.
Her spiritual bones and spiritual body had been excavated, rendering her useless with extremely poor aptitude. She didn’t even qualify to be a furnace, so what could anyone possibly want to scheme with her?
She decided to go and see what he was up to. After all, she had nothing to lose.
“Thank you, Holy Son. I am willing to be your maid.”
“Good, then come with me.” Jun Jiuxiao personally led Ji Lanqing back to his cave.
