Chapter 444: Ch 444 – When Did I Say I Was Human?
Yuebai just stood dumbfounded there.
She had long suspected Ye Huai’s occasional care meant he had a thing for her. She never expected him to straight up beat Xumo for her. After this, she became dead certain Ye Huai was pursuing her.
But the problem was, Yuebai really didn’t need or want Ye Huai taking it upon himself to beat up Xumo!
Xumo already suspected and distrusted her because of Yino.
Now this was just perfect.
Ye Huai ran over and beat him up, so Xumo became completely convinced that Yuebai had dumped him because she’d been fooling around with other male disciples all along.
Yuebai honestly thought both of them were brain dead.
Sure, she was seducing a man, but she was seducing Yino! How did Xumo’s mind twist it into her seducing Ye Huai and then ordering Ye Huai to teach him a lesson?
The whole thing just disgusted her, so she used this tender night to vent all the grievances she’d built up over the past half year to Yino.
Strictly speaking, she really had been wronged.
But these plot developments were so absurd, so completely different from the original, that Yino finally couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud.
He actually laughed! Yuebai immediately got even madder and bit right into his neck, leaving little tiger teeth marks.
The long missed pain, mixed with the aphrodisiac flooding his bloodstream from her bite, suddenly got Yino aroused again.
So Yuebai spasmed for a third time that night until her mind nearly broke.
After three rounds, Yuebai finally behaved herself.
Yino behaved even more. He felt that even if lightning struck tonight, he absolutely wouldn’t have the energy for a round four.
Repeatedly entering sage mode actually helped Yino calm down and seriously analyze the plot.
Thinking it through, Xumo teaming up with the Crimson Prince was definitely a chain reaction from the mess Yino left behind in the Azure Forest.
His original plan really hadn’t accounted for this.
In the game, the Crimson Prince was a Grand Elder’s direct disciple.
True to his name, the guy was a male demon, effeminate voice, heavy makeup. But he wasn’t just a surface level sissy. The main reason the Crimson Prince became an “old sister” type was that he cultivated a yang harvesting technique.
This technique was an Eastern forbidden art. It was somewhat normal for women to practice it, but if a man did, his long spear would gradually shrivel up over time.
As for what they got in return, Yino had no clue.
After all, Yino was straight as hell. In his past life playing Fallen Immortal, he never picked the Liuli Sect protagonist start.
In Xumo’s storyline, he was the male disciple with the strongest yang energy in the whole yin heavy, yang weak Liuli Sect. Naturally, male demons like the Crimson Prince latched onto him.
Every time the Crimson Prince showed up to seduce Xumo in the plot, it made Yino want to puke even through the screen.
But what really blew Yino’s mind now was that Xumo, who’d rather die than submit in the original, was now actively submitting to the Crimson Prince.
Ridiculous. Just fucking ridiculous.
Even if someone stole his master, that shouldn’t make him degenerate into the Crimson Prince’s toy, right?
Emotionally, the whole thing kinda sickened Yino.
But from a planning perspective, even if Xumo teaming with the Crimson Prince created new combat power, the Liuli secret realm had very different rules from the Azure Forest.
For a transmigrator like Yino who knew all the speedrun secrets, it didn’t change much.
As for the conflict between Ye Huai and Xumo, that was even more random.
In the original, these two were bros. Yino never dreamed they’d become enemies over Yuebai.
Speaking of which, was the Jiangnan Region flooded with hormones or something?
Fine if a rich girl and chosen one like Ruoning could fish for guys there, but how could even Yuebai turn people into such simps?
“But gotta say, this foxgirl is insanely tight!”
Sighing deeply, Yino wrapped up his analysis and couldn’t help but genuinely marvel at the fox girl in his arms. Her petite body had an incredibly tight lower mouth.
If Yuebai was already this top tier, how crazy would Jinyue with her innate charming physique be?
“You… you jerk… really have zero respect for your elders…”
Even though her body had gone soft from spasms, the fox girl’s mouth by Yino’s ear still wouldn’t stay quiet.
Hearing the word “elder,” Yino somehow got turned on again.
“Www-wait a sec, how are you getting hard again?!”
“Yino, did you pop pills or something?! You’re definitely not a normal human!”
The giant dragon rose, and the white fox girl immediately felt that blissful memory surge from deep in her core again.
Yino raised an eyebrow. Ancient black curse marks slowly spread across his body as he activated a hidden backup bloodline.
“When did I say I was human?”
“Being a demon is pretty nice too. It lets you experience more than just human pleasure.”
——
Today, the front gate of the Liuli Sect was buzzing.
The reason? Yuebai had brought a young cultivator from the Wuji Sect back with her.
At first, the junior sister on gate-sweeping duty didn’t pay him much mind.
According to the rules, the Liuli Sect was one of the five highest-grade immortal sects in the land. Outsiders weren’t allowed to just wander in for a tour.
So, the two junior sisters sweeping called for the duty elder.
The elder had been drinking tea. Getting suddenly interrupted for some outer sect disciple naturally put her in a bad mood. She planned to shoo him away early so she could get back to slacking off.
However, Yino was sharp. Seeing the managing elder arrive, he didn’t wait for her to speak. He proactively pulled out the jade pendant Yuyan had given him back then.
Yino figured he’d test just how famous Yuyan was in the Jiangnan Region. If her pendant didn’t work, he’d just have to pull out the He mansion token next.
What Yino didn’t expect was for the elder’s impatience to vanish the second she saw the Ranmo Peak engraving on the pendant. She even straightened her posture and greeted him with a smiling face.
“Well, well! So you’re Miss Yuyan’s junior brother! You should have said so earlier!”
The elder acted so friendly it was like Yino had come home.
Later, on the road, Yino asked and found out that Yuyan had made her name in the Western Region when she was young. The Liuli Sect had invited her to the Jiangnan Region as a young representative of the sword path to compete in several Liuli tournaments, where she’d sparred with illusion technique cultivators.
Without exception, she handed out brutal beatings to the Liuli Sect’s top students every year. Many of their disciples benefited greatly from her instruction.
After those three years, Yuyan’s reputation gradually spread throughout the Jiangnan Region.
Naturally, the Liuli Sect wouldn’t slight a fellow cultivator from a distant sect who came to visit.
“Children, look who’s here!”
“This young master is called He Yino. He’s traveled far from the Wuji Sect and is the direct junior brother of the legendary Swordwomen Yuyan herself…”
“Ahem, I wonder if you disciples have heard the tales about miss Yuyan’s exploits at the Liuli tournaments?”
The duty elder for the outer sect guided Yino all the way to the Liuli Sect’s main square. Then, without even asking Yino, she waved her hand and started loudly advertising him.
In no time, a crowd of young disciples gathered around.
Yino got goosebumps.
No wonder this old woman had so politely dragged him to the square the moment he entered. She was just using him as some kind of teaching material for a public exhibit…
“I know, I know! When miss Yuyan came to our sect, she beat the Crimson Prince so badly he pissed his pants!” a younger-looking junior sister at the back of the crowd said excitedly.
Her words caused an immediate uproar among the disciples.
“I heard about that too! After she made the Crimson Prince cry, Senior Brother Ye Huai tried to challenge her. But he ended up worse and got knocked flat in just a couple of moves!” another bold female chimed in with more rumors.
However, when Ye Huai was mentioned, the junior sisters didn’t laugh mockingly. Instead, many of them showed looks of disbelief and surprise.
This showed clearly that the reputations of the two direct disciples from different elders were quite different among the younger disciples.
“Whoa, really?”
“Of course! Rumor has it she beat every single direct disciple in our sect that year! In the end, only the Holy Maiden, the only one who received the Palace Lord’s true teachings, managed to take her down”
Once the topic was opened, all the young disciples present began chattering away, recalling these past events.
Yino didn’t know much about this history. When he played the game in his past life, the timeline started after Yuyan had already become the Sword leader senior sister. He never had a chance to learn about the various regional storylines that preceded the main plot.
But he had to admit, hearing these historical records recounted by random people now felt pretty good, especially as Yuyan’s junior.
“Young master, since you’re miss Yuyan’s direct junior, does that mean you’re super powerful too, just like her back in the day?!”
Finally, the most enthusiastic gossipers at the front of the crowd turned the topic back to Yino.
Faced with this scene, Yino couldn’t help but smile a little sheepishly.
“Of course. I am the only junior that Senior Sister personally trained. If I didn’t have the skill to endure her harsh, day-in, day-out instruction, how could I possibly be here today, traveling the world with her personally bestowed pendant?”
Yino, rarely enjoying the admiration of young girls, couldn’t help but start boasting with a straight face.
The only slightly awkward part was that while saying this, his mind flashed back to the images of his daily special training sessions with Yuyan in that dark room back in Luo City.
Even if his words stretched the truth a bit, he wasn’t exactly wrong.
“Wow~! Amazing!”
“To win miss Yuyan’s recognition, Senior Yino’s sword arts must be incredible too!”
“Is Senior Yino here to compete and spar like miss Yuyan did back then?”
The Liuli Sect’s reputation for being yin-heavy and yang-weak was no rumor. The crowd of curious junior sisters swarmed around him like a flock of chirping sparrows. Instantly, Yino felt the thrill of being an upperclassman pursued by admiring girls.
But just as Yino was about to smile and speak, another exclamation came from the side of the crowd.
“Wait a second!”
“He’s surnamed He, he’s a disciple of the Wuji Sect, he’s incredibly talented, and he has such handsome face… isn’t this exactly the rumored childhood sweetheart, the perfect lover Miss Liu has been waiting for?!”
One sharp junior sister instantly connected Yino’s characteristics to the previous gossip about Ruoning.
The impact of her statement was far greater than just being Yuyan’s junior brother!
Before three seconds had passed, the entire crowd in the Liuli Sect square was in an uproar.
If initially it was just a group of juniors attracted by Yino’s looks coming for gossip, this time, with the scandalous rumors about Ruoning exploding, even many male disciples nearby swarmed over in shock.
In an instant, the female disciples were all eyes full of gossip and curiosity, while many male disciples glared at Yino with wary and jealous looks.
Bathed in the crowd’s mixed gazes, Yino didn’t feel panicked or troubled. Instead, he just gave a slow cold smirk, the corners of his lips turning up.
“Oh? Are there such rumors about Ruoning here at the Liuli Sect?”
As he spoke, Yino’s gaze swept through the crowd.
When he noticed a certain familiar face, he paused his sentence. Meeting the latter’s hate-filled glare, he raised a brilliantly sunny smile.
“Since you’re all so curious, why don’t I make an official clarification right here!”
“My name is He Yino. I am both Ruoning’s childhood friend and her privately betrothed fiancé…”
“So, what you’ve heard isn’t a rumor.”
Yino finished with a smile.
He first glanced at Xumo, who looked utterly broken and was grinding his teeth, but then found it boring and couldn’t be bothered by him. Instead, he raised his head to look at the two women standing on a high platform not far behind him, who had been watching his every move the entire time.
…
….
“Master… I… I swear I didn’t tell him anything last night…”
“Ruoning, this lover of yours really isn’t simple, is he?”
