Chapter 8: The Villain Writes a Diary, and the Heroine Is Completely Broken
Chapter 8: I Am Ye Qingxian, So Why Do You, Lu Yun, Feel Wronged?:
At this moment, Chu Xuan, after hearing the words of the sect master, was just as confused. He distinctly remembered the system telling him that he was supposed to join Qingxiu Peak! Take control of the harem and ascend slowly!
Thinking about it, he looked at Ku Ya, who was supporting him with concern, and his face turned pale.
‘Damn it! You old man! You’ve ruined everything for me! Why are you even here, worrying about me? I’m supposed to join Qingxiu Peak! If I don’t, what will happen to my Tianxiang body? What about my elixirs, natural treasures, and armor?
Chu Xuan snapped back to reality, his eyes bulging out, and Ku Ya, thinking he understood, said, “Good disciple, return with your master. Train diligently, and one day you’ll surpass that Lu Yun. Then, you’ll have your revenge.”
‘Damn it! I need the Tianxiang body, not you, wretched old villain!’
“Wait, wait a minute!” Chu Xuan stammered, but Ku Ya thought he was just nervous about Ye Qingxian’s reaction.
“Don’t worry, my disciple. Your cultivation will soon surpass Ye Qingxian’s. You need not fear her retaliation.”
‘No, idiot! Who said anything about her retaliating? She’s supposed to love me, not hate me! She’s supposed to be the master of my harem!’
Chu Xuan felt numb all over, resisting Ku Ya’s hold on him. But Ku Ya, having found such a good disciple, wasn’t about to let go so easily. Especially after getting close to Chu Xuan, Ku Ya felt like this was his own son.
“Disciple, Lu Yun humiliated you earlier. Don’t you want to take revenge?”
Chu Xuan was startled, and cracked open his swollen eyes. “I want to kill him!”
That was the truth.
No matter what, he really did want to kill Lu Yun. Seeing a chance, Ku Ya leaned in and whispered, “Master has body-tempering pills, blood-tempering pills, and many natural treasures. Master can let you enter the Mystic Jade Sect and even give you an opportunity to comprehend the Enlightenment Tree. Your path to power will be smooth. When you’re strong, a little Lu Yun will be nothing.”
Chu Xuan’s heart wavered. Though he craved the harem, cultivation was clearly more important. After all, weren’t the concubines just a stepping stone to greater power? His goal was to ascend. Once he did, all the beauties would be his anyway.
Besides, Ye Qingxian and the others hadn’t fallen for him at first sight, probably because his cultivation was lacking. Once he became stronger, with his protagonist’s halo and charm, Ye Qingxian would fall for him, no question.
When he used his Tianxiang body to break through, he’d get back on track!
With this new resolve, Chu Xuan’s eyes lit up. “System! Am I right?”
System: [… Probably…right?]
“Ha! I am the protagonist after all! It’s all mine! Everything is still mine!”
Chu Xuan grinned despite the pain in his cheeks. He must show Lu Yun his cold, scornful, and vengeful expression. He had to show him who the real protagonist was!
Lu Yun, still bewildered by the plot’s sudden derailment, turned his head and saw Chu Xuan trying to provoke him with a twisted expression of pride. Confusion deepened within him.
[Buddy…]
[Your face is so swollen from the beating that you shouldn’t be trying to show off, alright?]
Girls: “…”
[Are you seriously trying to impress me by sticking with that disgusting, perverted old man?]
Girls: “…”
[Tsk!]
[The plot’s falling apart. Your harem is vanishing, and you’re still making faces at me?]
[You really have two arms, huh?]
The women stifled their laughter at this point, their moods brightening at seeing Lu Yun in such a sorry state.
Ye Qingxian, too, felt vindicated, “Serves you right for insulting me!”
“Leave…” the sect master repeated, urging them to go.
Ku Ya hurriedly helped Chu Xuan up. “Come, disciple. Let’s rest while the ceremony continues. When it’s over, I’ll cleanse your marrow and bones.”
Chu Xuan, still fuming, threw a glare at Lu Yun before following Ku Ya. As he passed Ye Qingxian, there was anger in his eyes, but also an odd look of affection.
‘Just wait, Ye Qingxian! When I grow stronger, I’ll deal with you properly!’
Ye Qingxian ignored him entirely, focusing on Lu Yun instead. “Go stand behind your senior sister.”
Lu Yun sighed and reluctantly moved behind the female disciples. Meanwhile, Chu Xuan stood near Ku Ya.
Enemies meeting again stoked resentment. Chu Xuan, taking the chance, sneered at Lu Yun. “Don’t get too comfortable. In a month, you’ll—”
“Idiot.”
“???”
Chu Xuan was livid and instinctively reached out to curse at him, only to immediately wince in pain from his swollen face. “Lu Yun! I can’t stand you! Just wait!”
Lu Yun glanced at him and sneered. “Idiot.”
Chu Xuan trembled in fury, but with no way to retaliate, he endured the humiliation under the system’s constant reminders.
Lu Yun’s eyes gleamed with sarcasm.
[You’re such a waste. That aura of intelligence reduction doesn’t even work on you.]
[It’s not effective on the brainless group but seems to confuse Ku Ya’s fans.]
[Honestly, this is beyond words.]
Girls: ‘Puff! Cough, cough…’
Ye Qingxian almost choked, and the seven sisters in front of her could barely keep from turning around.
Lu Yun always had something shocking to say.
[No, what’s happening?]
[If the plot keeps breaking down, I’ll never get back home.]
[How am I supposed to bring a harem of beautiful women home and act like a great man?]
[I’m still waiting to impress people by saying I don’t like beef…]
Girls: ‘… Pervert! All you think about is women! Shameless!’
[Hmm…]
[I knew something was off from the start. Logically, when Chu Xuan appeared, Ye Qingxian should have been so excited she would practically fly over to him.]
Ye Qingxian: ‘???’
[Why didn’t she flirt with him, and instead let me scold him for so long?]
[She should have interrupted me, begged for Chu Xuan’s forgiveness, and begged for him to stay.]
[But no, it was the sect master who had to speak up.]
Ye Qingxian’s eyelids twitched in frustration. She thought inwardly, “How shameless does he think I am?”
[I beat that idiot up, and she didn’t stop me.]
[Even Chu Xuan’s personality is completely different from the book.]
[Thinking about it, the plot has been broken from the start.]
Though Ye Qingxian kept her cold composure, the anger in her eyes was impossible to hide. ‘Of course the plot’s broken! You vulgar pervert! Do you still want that idiot to mess with us?’
‘This time, you’re my disciple! Just wait and see how I deal with you!’
[I get it!]
[It must be the merging of multiple plotlines, causing the deviations between the plot and the protagonist’s behavior!]
[That’s it! It has to be that!]
[There must be more than one protagonist, like Chu Xuan! If multiple plotlines merged, there must be multiple protagonists!]
[So for balance, it makes sense that the plot and personalities would change a little!]
While no one fully grasped Lu Yun’s reasoning, the idea of merging multiple novels with multiple protagonists made them nervous.
Could it really be possible that there were many more like Chu Xuan, ready to harm the cultivation world?
Everyone began eyeing those around them with suspicion.
Lu Yun, unaware of the chaos he was causing, thought to himself: [Whatever. He’ll work hard to cultivate and seek revenge. Even if there are some problems now, the result will still be the same.]
[It’s just…]
[Being surrounded by these brainless harem heroines… My future feels dim.]
Ye Qingxian: ‘??? What’s wrong with me? Have you really been wronged, Lu Yun?’
[Doesn’t matter!]
[They may be brainless, but at least they’re nice to look at.]
Ye Qingxian and the others couldn’t help but sneer.
[Especially Ye Qingxian. That big thunder! So exciting!]
Ye Qingxian: ‘???’
Girls: ‘???’
Everyone’s expressions froze as Ye Qingxian blushed in embarrassment. ‘Lecher! Vulgar pervert!’
[What the hell?]
Girls: ‘What the hell are you up to now, pervert?’
[What the hell!!!]
[I just thought of a great way to boost the strength of my two arms!!!]
Girls: ‘???’
