Chapter 401 - 407: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Everyone now wanted to know which unlucky bastard had been exposed.

But Yue Lin wasn’t about to just show it to everyone. With a grim expression, he took the Memory Stone, planning to watch it later before deciding how to handle it.

However, so many people had seen him receive the Memory Stone. If he covered for the culprit, he would likely be implicated himself.

A chill crept over Yue Lin. ’How did I get the feeling I’ve been set up, too?’

And in the middle of this whole distraction, someone had made off with the Spiritual Medicine!!!

His face darkened as he committed the face of the person from before to memory.

...

After storming off in a huff, Yue Lin finally found a secluded spot and activated the Memory Stone.

He had thought it would be nothing important, but the moment he activated it, he saw the two figures he least wanted to see.

Jiang Cen and Zhang Shuning.

The relationship between these two was incredibly complicated, a fact known to everyone in the Sect.

Rumor had it that Jiang Cen had now taken an interest in Elder Liu, but Yue Lin never imagined he would be depraved enough to actually kill Zhang Shuning.

’What an idiot!’

’If Elder Liu finds out that Jiang Cen killed Zhang Shuning, how could she possibly get together with him?’

’Shouldn’t he have been trying to win over Zhang Shuning?’

Yue Lin couldn’t comprehend Jiang Cen’s thinking, but the current situation had become tricky.

Whether he reported it or not, he was in a perilous position.

If he didn’t report it and Elder Liu found out, it would be very bad for him.

If he did report it, the Supreme Elder would surely hold a grudge against him!

No matter which path he chose, it seemed difficult.

But he quickly calmed himself.

He wasn’t on Grand Elder Jiang’s side to begin with. Even if he did nothing, the Grand Elder wouldn’t look kindly upon him.

It would be better to take this opportunity to drive a wedge between Elder Liu and Grand Elder Jiang, which would benefit his own faction in the long run.

’My family will surely support me when they find out.’

Yue Lin made his decision. Fortune favors the bold. If he handled this matter well, his family would surely invest heavily in his cultivation, and his future would be even brighter.

...

"System, will this injury... affect my future...?"

Xiao Heyun hid weakly in a cave, his face pale, his mind preoccupied with his manhood.

For someone whose entire goal was to conquer women, ruining his manhood was no different from killing him.

[Rest assured, Host. Although you are currently injured, you can still recover as long as you refine a High-level Spiritual Pill!]

Xiao Heyun was panicking unnecessarily. In the Cultivation World, even a severed limb could be regrown. His had merely been crushed; of course it wasn’t a problem.

"Oh, good!"

Xiao Heyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wished he could concoct an Elixir Pill right now to heal himself, then find a woman to test it out and confirm his virility was still intact.

[Host, you are now massively in debt on points. You must speed up your pace of conquest. Otherwise, you won’t be able to exchange for anything. How will you get your revenge?]

The system really had to hand it to this idiot. Even with its help, he couldn’t even conquer a single woman.

"You think I don’t want to?"

Xiao Heyun said hatefully, gritting his teeth.

Yun Yunzhou was the only conquest target in this Secret Realm, but that woman couldn’t stand him. He’d be lucky if he didn’t lose points, let alone earn any to exchange.

His only hope now was to leave the Secret Realm and quickly start grinding favorability with other targets. If this kept up, he was going to start questioning his very existence.

"Nothing good ever happens whenever I run into that woman, Song Wanning. I seriously suspect she was born to be my nemesis!"

Time and time again, whenever he encountered Song Wanning, his target’s favorability would drop.

This time was even more outrageous—she’d kicked his junk so hard it burst.

Now, just thinking about her made his groin ache and clench inexplicably. That terror and pain seemed to have been carved into the depths of his Divine Soul.

[This Song Wanning is indeed unusual. I also feel something is off, but the system cannot check the data on these individuals. The Host must find a way on his own.]

[My recommendation is to kill Song Wanning. Nip this problem in the bud, or there will be trouble sooner or later!]

The system also felt that Song Wanning was no simple character. Once, twice—it couldn’t be such a coincidence.

Therefore, a threat like her was best dealt with sooner rather than later.

"I wish I could..."

Xiao Heyun’s face fell. He was heavily injured, his Dantian was damaged, and he had no idea how he was even going to escape the Secret Realm.

"System, let’s make a deal. I’m injured, and I have a divine beast with me. When the Secret Realm reopens, those guys will definitely not let me go."

"How about you help me one last time?"

"This is really the last time!"

He felt incredibly frustrated, but he had no choice but to beg the system.

His initial grand ambitions had been all but worn away. Now, all he could think about was reaching the pinnacle of life with the system’s help.

[...Host, as I’ve already said, you are already deep in point debt.]

The system’s speechless voice sounded, and Xiao Heyun felt his face flush with heat.

"If you don’t save me, I’ll die. Then all the favorability points will be reset to zero. What will you do then?"

"You and I are one entity. If I do well, we all do well. Just help me this one time. Afterward, I promise I’ll go conquer those women right away. I absolutely won’t be in debt for long!"

Under his persuasion, the system finally relented and agreed.

[This is absolutely the last time...]

Xiao Heyun nodded hurriedly, taking out an Elixir Pill to continue healing his wounds.

He no longer had the luxury of competing for the treasures outside.

What he didn’t expect, however, was that at this very moment, Song Wanning had already taken on someone else’s face and was searching the Secret Realm for Canglan Sect disciples.

"Li Meng, don’t you go too far! We’re from the same Sect!"

"That’s right, Li Meng! We’re all disciples of the Canglan Sect. For you to just butt in like this is completely unreasonable!"

Several Canglan Sect disciples glared furiously at Song Wanning’s avatar, protectively shielding the Spiritual Marrow they had discovered behind them.

They had found the Spiritual Marrow and were about to divide it amongst themselves when "Li Meng" suddenly appeared and tried to snatch it all.

Hearing this, a sneer flashed across Song Wanning’s face, and without another word, she attacked them.

She acted with extreme arrogance, her attacks showing a complete disregard for their lives. The Canglan Sect disciples were absolutely livid.

"Li Meng, what is the meaning of this? Are you actually trying to kill us?"

"Harming fellow disciples is a grievous crime! When we get out of here, we’ll definitely report your vile actions to the Sect!"

"Everyone, attack together! He struck first, so we’re in the right!"

As they spoke, one of them even took out a Memory Stone to record the situation. After all, words alone are not proof. With physical evidence, Li Meng wouldn’t be able to deny it!

Seeing them play right into her hands, Song Wanning was very pleased.

She let out a few arrogant laughs and crowed, "You think you still have a chance to get out of here? HAHAHA, how ridiculous!"

"That bitch Song Lan Tian and a dozen other Cultivators all died by my hand. You think you can hurt me with just this?"

"You’re dreaming!"
