Chapter 7 - She Is My Girlfriend
“Fate Reversal System, I want to exchange another 500 points for an advance in my cultivation!”
【Ding, exchange completed.】
He’s not feeling particularly rushed or anything like that.
The Fate Reversal points earned by snatching the lollipop from the little girl weren’t needed at the moment, so why not spend them now rather than saving them for later?
Rich and pure spiritual energy circulated within Lu Qingchuan’s body.
His figure was surrounded by a dense and pure black aura, intensely evil and malicious, dancing around him.
Ordinary people couldn’t see it.
Lu Qingchuan closed his eyes and felt it for a while. With his strength advancing another level, he should be much safer even if he encountered danger again.
‘Hmmm…. After climbing to the 7th Level of Qi Refining, the progress seems to becomes quite slower, it seems the higher I go, the more points I need to advance further.’
Lu Qingchuan recalled that in the plot, Zuo Tian, the protagonist, would establish his foundation and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator in one night after obtaining a top-tier technique that suited him.
That night was tonight.
After that, Zuo Tian’s cultivation progressed at an astonishing rate.
When Zuo Tian truly emerged, numerous reclusive old monsters were amazed.
Some even expressed a willingness to take him as a disciple, but were refused.
Zuo Tian said he wanted to walk his own path, to reach the pinnacle where no one could match him, to overlook all living beings from a cold and lonely height.
Anyone who offended him would be slain with a single sword.
If one sword wasn’t enough, then two.
Poor Lu Qingchuan realized it was impossible to become stronger through his own cultivation.
His innate talent was fixed, and all avenues of advancement were blocked by fate.
There should still be plenty of room for development in the [Fate Reversal System] and the [Saint System].
“Or…”
Lu Qingchuan squinted his slender eyes.
‘What if I go and kill Zuo Tian now?’
Cutting off the destined protagonist who possessed the blessing of the world, not giving him a future or a chance to grow.
Just as the thought of killing arose, Lu Qingchuan extinguished it.
A bitter smile appeared on the young man’s face.
Forget it.
I’m not that ruthless.
“Zuo Tian has ancient inheritance, and there’s also the remnant soul of the Zuo family’s ancestor hidden by his side, acting as his protector.”
Indeed, now was Zuo Tian’s weakest moment.
But if that protector risked damage to its remnant soul, it could still protect Zuo Tian well.
Everyone is in their growth stage, and attempting to forcefully kill someone stronger is easy to backfire.
I just want to live a peaceful life.
But suddenly, Lu Qingchuan instinctively sensed that there was an extremely subtle and vaguely lurking gaze fixed on him!
“Who is it?”
Lu Qingchuan’s gaze turned cold as he looked towards a green trash bin by the fence of the artificial lake.
His irregular shadow swayed in the sunlight, like a black cat waiting to pounce.
“Come out on your own, and I’ll spare your life,” Lu Qingchuan said each word with emphasis.
The aura surrounding him is evil and sinister, the terrifying intent to kill pressed on, fierce like a terrifying beast.
The “Cataclysmic Chaos Immortal Scripture” brought a tremendous sense of oppression, impacting every inch of the air.
Under the bright sunlight, the surroundings seemed to plunge into the quiet night of midwinter.
The scene that belongs to a big villain!
This scene was deeply imprinted in Chen Yanyu’s mind.
“Will you forgive me if I come out to apologize?” Chen Yanyu asked weakly.
Her delicate and timid voice filled Lu Qingchuan with a sense of unease.
A bad premonition.
“Of course.” Lu Qingchuan suppressed his momentum, his shadow returning to normal, and he smiled slightly. “But you have to explain the reason to me, and we need to have a good talk.”
First, coax her out before saying anything else.
Always felt like… it was that girl.
“I— I agree.”
Chen Yanyu stood up and walked out.
She revealed her figure, the silver jade dragon horns on her forehead retracting.
The fairy-like beautiful girl seemed to emerge from the water lily, and her breathtaking figure reflected in Lu Qingchuan’s eyes.
A ripple stirred in the young man’s autumn-like eyes.
Lu Qingchuan’s eyes twitched.
God damn it.
When Chen Yanyu saw this handsome young man with an evil aura eye twitched, she instinctively took a half step back.
She was about to speak before she got interrupted by the young man.
“I know, I understand, I forgive you, you don’t have to say anything,” Lu Qingchuan maintained his smile. “Let’s meet again in the future.”
He turned and ran.
“Eh?”
Chen Yanyu was stunned for a moment, stood still for two seconds, before coming back to her senses and catching up.
“Don’t run away! I haven’t talked to you yet!”
Lu Qingchuan ran with his head covered.
Chen Yanyu chased after him.
Her skirts fluttered in the wind as she said so.
The ornaments on the girl’s dress made a pleasant ringing sound, her fair legs slanting in the sunlight.
He fled, she pursued, he…
Lu Qingchuan was speechless.
If it weren’t for using the Fate Reversal points to advance his cultivation, he might have been followed around by Chen Yanyu forever.
This girl is simply too scary!
He needs to do his best to try not to get involved with other female leads, he wants a peaceful life, he wants stable happiness!
Let’s not talk about Zuo Tian for now.
If Su Yingxue thought that he was flirting with other girls behind her back, she would really try to castrate him.
Chen Yanyu was puzzled. She was about to apologize for her actions, but this mysterious demonic cultivator forgave her without hesitation.
And then…
Why run away?
Am I that scary?
I still have something important to discuss with this demonic cultivator!
She was almost in tears with anxiety. “Stop! Stop right there!”
If another outsider were to see their action, they would think that the girl seemed to be chasing after a thug who had bullied her.
Or a heartless man who cheated her.
The two of them looked like they had some friction going on.
The park wasn’t crowded, but they still attracted attention.
Chen Yanyu was fast, like a gentle breeze.
The Dragon Summer Country has officially announced the two first realms of cultivation for cultivators.
First Realm: Qi Refining Realm.
Second Realm: Foundation Establishment Realm.
As one of the female leads, moreover, the daughter of the Dragon King, Chen Yanyu is born with a Foundation Establishment cultivation.
While she seems strong right now, it’s mostly because it’s still at the early stage of the Cultivation Era return, so most of the masses are still at the Qi Refining realm.
In the prosperous ancient times, before the world got modernized, the descendants of the Dragon Clan were born with the cultivation power strong enough to let them defeat opponents many major realm higher than them.
Once they reached adulthood, they were revered as one of the strongest race in the entire world.
As the princess of the Dragon Clan, Chen Yanyu’s status was one of the highest in the world, and her strength reflected that status.
Even if she’s only at the Foundation Entablishment stage, she’s strong enough to face foe two major realm higher than her and fight them toe-to-toe, even if it’s only for a moment.
However, she had never been in a fight before.
The “Cataclysmic Chaos Immortal Scripture” was something given to him by the System itself, it’s quality and prowess are without a doubt, even if she’s of the Dragon Clan Noble Lineage, if Lu Qingchuan really fought her, the outcome between their fight is uncertain.
But as they ran. Lu Qingchuan glanced back, immediately slamming on the brakes, his delicate brows furrowing slightly.
Chen Yanyu was blocked by three young toughs, feeling helpless and at a loss as to what to do.
“Hey!”
The leader with tattoos on his arm said, “Girl, tell me, did that guy up ahead bully you? We’ll take care of him for you!”
“N-no, it’s not like that,” Chen Yanyu said anxiously, “Excuse me, can you please move aside?”
“Don’t be shy, let’s go beat him up together, and you can treat us to karaoke later!”
“Boss.”
“Yeah?”
“He’s coming back!”
Lu Qingchuan approached with a cold expression, looking every bit like a villain.
“Heh, here comes the bully!” the leader said. “Tiger, show him what’s what.”
A fiery young man rolled up his sleeves. “Alright! Today, I’ll show you how a real man should behave!”
“She’s my girlfriend,” Lu Qingchuan said flatly. “Mind your own business.”
“Huh?”
“Um?”
“Ah?”
The leader was momentarily stunned, then turned to the girl with sunglasses. “Is that true, girl?”
Chen Yanyu shyly lowered her head, her delicate fingers timidly clutching her skirt.
If she didn’t admit it, would they start a fight?
They were just ordinary people, how could they be a match for a demonic cultivator? They would definitely be beaten miserably.
There was no choice. To dispel the misunderstanding and prevent innocent civilians from being beaten up by the demonic cultivator, another lie had to be told.
“Um, I-I am his girlfriend,” Chen Yanyu stammered.
Her cheeks flushed like ripe apples, and her head felt like it was steaming.
Chen Yanyu had just arrived into human society, yet she had become the girlfriend of a strange demonic cultivator.
Father’s going to go on a rampage
She would too, she’s heroine of justice! Her partner is supposed to be a hero too!
But… Well… This demonic cultivator is also extremely handsome.
He’s also domineering.
…. Perhaps she can try to redeem him? Turn him into the side of good?
As for being his girlfriend… It’s probably the excuse the demonic cultivator come up with to lure her away into an empty spot before taking her, right?
Chen Yanyu’s mind was swirling with chaotic thoughts, unable to stop her imagination from running wild.
