62 Little Cousin is Adding to the Script Again
[The system is not a person, the system is just System Sauce]
— I really want to turn you into sauce!
[Reminding the host to maintain the protagonist’s persona is the system’s duty]
— Alright then.
This time it was indeed his fault for being unable to resist Instructor Yu Xuan’s charm and nearly indulging in her service.
However, previously when he was dual cultivating with the beautiful sect master, he was also quite absorbed in it, especially when smothered by her peerless twin peaks, he almost couldn’t think, with only thoughts of “baby, hungry, eat” left in his mind.
But the system didn’t remind him that he deviated from his persona.
Is it because dual cultivation falls under normal cultivation, so it doesn’t count as indulging in desires?
Hmm… I’ll have to test it out next time I dual cultivate with the beautiful sect master. If dual cultivation is within the allowable range of the persona, then why do I have to be on tenterhooks each time, deliberately playing dead, needing the beautiful sect master to guide the whole process? That’s not doing justice to her heartfelt intentions.
In order to nurture his talent, the beautiful sect master has given her all, treating him a hundred, a thousand times better than the one in the script.
Yan Zhen could not keep accepting the beautiful sect master’s giving. He always wanted to do something for her.
“Alright Yan Zhen, let’s stop here for today.”
Instructor Yu Xuan let go of his head. The soft, tender sensation of being sandwiched also left, making one feel a bit empty inside.
But those fair delicate hands were still combing through his hair. Her gentle gaze looked down at him from above as her cherry lips parted: “You have exceptional talent and limitless prospects. Don’t indulge in matters between men and women. Focus your mind on cultivation. If you need anything, come find your instructor. I’ll do my best to help you. The premise is that you have to be obedient and stop bullying Ruyu and the others. If… if you really like the back that much, next time I’ll teach you using… the back… I’ll give you whatever you like, okay?”
The gentle voice, the sincere words. Yan Zhen felt his defenses crumbling.
— What Guanyin Bodhisattva saving the world from suffering is this!
At this moment, Instructor Yu Xuan was simply dazzling, as her soul exuded a holy light, too bright to look at directly!
“I… I know I was wrong, Instructor.”
Yan Zhen unknowingly lowered his head in remorse.
“Knowing your mistake and correcting it makes you a good child.”
Instructor Yu Xuan showed a gratified smile, her beautiful face glowing with a clean radiance like the Holy Mother.
She lowered her head, her moist red lips leaving a doting light kiss on Yan Zhen’s forehead.
Yan Zhen felt very appreciative but also unable to bear it, his heart full of contradictions.
Oh no, from the look of things, Instructor Yu Xuan may have truly been unknowingly captivated by him. Otherwise, no matter how much she cares for her students, she wouldn’t kiss him so affectionately.
But Yan Zhen didn’t remember doing anything that could make Instructor Yu Xuan, with her status, beauty and strength, fall for him.
In the script, after he arrived at the sacred academy, he even saved Instructor Yu Xuan once from the demon leader’s pursuit. Yet she didn’t simply fall for him just because she was rescued by the hero. She only became a bit more friendly to him, that’s all.
Yan Zhen couldn’t make sense of this development… Could there be some mysterious force that doesn’t want him to complete the no-female-lead storyline? Doesn’t want him to reach the peak realm?
— *Sniff* I smell a conspiracy (makes a logical connection)
Seems he’ll have to be more careful in completing the acting tasks from now on.
*Ahem* Instructor Yu Xuan straightened up and regained her instructor tone:
“Yan Zhen, what mystic arts did you choose in the library pavilion?”
Yan Zhen also went from slouching to sitting up straight:
“I chose Qigong Finger and Qi Vortex Technique.”
Instructor Yu Xuan thought to herself, as expected, it’s the same as the previous life. He already understood Lan Ke’s abilities beforehand, so he issued the challenge and deliberately chose two mystic arts to counter him.
But the her of the previous life didn’t think this way. She felt that even if Yan Zhen prepared, three days wasn’t enough time to learn two mystic arts, so she was still very worried he would have difficulty winning.
Only later did she realize her grave mistake. This boy’s talent in learning mystic arts was even greater than his cultivation talent. He actually learned the Qigong Finger art just from reading it once. Only the scholar-level Qi Vortex Technique took two days.
“Then you should know that the power of Qigong Finger is lacking and can only be used to disrupt the opponent. Qi Vortex Technique is also just a supplementary move. Do you have a trump card to defeat Lan Ke?”
Just in case, Instructor Yu Xuan still asked. She remembered that in the previous life, Yan Zhen used a self-harming move.
Yan Zhen nodded:
“I do.”
Seize the opportunity, release spiritual force to stun Lan Ke for a moment, then use Qi Vortex Technique to pull him over, finally unleashing Eight Extremes Explosion – Triple Force. One punch later, it shattered Lan Ke’s protective ice armor along with him, nearly punching his guts out.
The Triple Force should only be used safely at the Mystic Scholar realm. When Yan Zhen forcibly unleashed it as a 6-star Mystic Disciple, it also caused quite a burden on his arm.
The muscles in his entire arm bled extensively, the tendons were severely strained, and the finger bones fractured.
Even after eating the pills refined for him by the beautiful sect master, it still took several days to heal. During that time he could only use one hand, so the girls all came to look after him for a period.
Just from reading the text description, Yan Zhen felt the pain.
— Damn Lan Ke! I really want to burn him to death with one shot, and save this young master from harming himself!
But he also understood, if he really burned Lan Ke to death, even if the Academy didn’t pursue it, the City Lord’s Manor wouldn’t let him off.
Of course, even if he didn’t kill Lan Ke, when he graduates and leaves Mystic Academy, the City Lord’s Manor would still come after him.
Might as well follow the script’s development to avoid more trouble.
“Since you already have a plan, then hurry and go cultivate.”
With Instructor Yu Xuan’s help, Yan Zhen individually applied for a martial arts field and said he would stay there for three days. He told them not to wait for him for meals. Then he took out the scrolls for the two mystic arts and started studying them earnestly.
Qigong Finger, too simple, learn it in one look. Only Qi Vortex Technique had a bit of difficulty.
But these were no big deal for him, because in this part of the plot, only he was cultivating, meeting the system’s condition for skipping.
[Ding! System warmly reminds: The cultivation process for Qigong Finger can be skipped. Skip?]
— Skip!
[Ding! System warmly reminds: The cultivation process for Qi Vortex Technique can be skipped. Skip?]
— Skip!
His vision blurred. An intense fatigue assailed him, then his stamina recovered, then he became tired again, and finally regained his energy.
The essentials of Qigong Finger and Qi Vortex Technique surfaced in his mind. Strangely, he fully mastered Qigong Finger, but wasn’t very proficient with Qi Vortex Technique yet.
And only one day had passed.
It should take two days to master Qi Vortex Technique.
— System, are you glitching?
[The system is fine, thank you host for your concern]
— Then…
“Cousin~”
“Holy shit!”
Yan Meng’er’s call suddenly sounded by his ear. Yan Zhen nearly jumped up from the scare. Turning his head, he found that Yan Meng’er and Yan Ruyu were actually both here.
“Why… are you here?”
“Didn’t I just say, sister and I are here to be your sparring partners~”
“Huh?”
— No need! You meddling silly cousin, hurry up and go back!
