Chapter Ninety-Two p2
It was already broad daylight. The white crane not far away was elegantly pecking at the spiritual fruit, but she didn’t have the heart to drive it away, just muttering to herself: “This is not right, I offended Master, this is not right… But if it’s discovered, Master will definitely kill me, right? I can’t die… I haven’t killed the demon cultivator yet, I can’t die…“
She was scared and anxious, and didn’t dare to continue cultivating immortal techniques. After just half a month, she had become thin and haggard.
And Bo Chi, during her half-month seclusion, digested the original owner’s memories, and nervously broke through to the Golden Core stage, becoming a Nascent Soul expert.
After stabilizing her cultivation, she slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was to clean her body with a spell.
That’s right, Yu Zhao did dress her, but the other party also hugged and kissed her! It had been uncomfortable for days, okay!
But thinking of the little disciple’s past, she couldn’t bear to punish her.
Because the Yu Zhao in this world was quite miserable.
As the villain in a melodramatic romance novel, Yu Zhao was fortunate enough to live in the same village as the female lead. Unfortunately, their village was one day suddenly slaughtered by a demon cultivator.
Yu Zhao and the female lead were heartbroken, and together they embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, intending to personally take revenge on the demon cultivator after their cultivation succeeded.
At the entrance ceremony, the female lead was found to have a single spiritual root, attracting countless elders to fight over her.
Yu Zhao, however, was found to have mixed spiritual roots, standing alone under everyone’s gaze, not wanted by anyone.
And just as she was about to be sent to be a servant disciple, the original owner appeared, and took her in as her only disciple.
Everyone thought that the original owner was being kind, and Yu Zhao was grateful and respected her very much. However, the original owner had ulterior motives for taking Yu Zhao in.
‘You Mei’ was the original owner’s Daoist title, and it also hinted that she wasn’t the immortal swordswoman that outsiders thought she was. She had a hidden purpose, walking between humans and demons, her figure dim and unclear, making it impossible to guess her true thoughts.
Five years later, when Yu Zhao succeeded in her cultivation and excitedly went to report the good news to the original owner, the original owner tore off her hypocritical mask and threw Yu Zhao into the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
Yu Zhao struggled inside for three hundred years, her flesh and blood devoured by demons. She accidentally awakened the demonic bloodline in her body, and when she was on the verge of death, she broke through in her cultivation, abandoned her riddled body, and escaped from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave with her Nascent Soul, returning to the cultivation world.
After experiencing excruciating pain, Yu Zhao’s personality changed drastically. After learning that her father wasn’t dead, but a demon cultivator, she became entangled in her own position.
During this period, she chased and killed the original owner for decades, and finally forced out the reason why the original owner harmed her – You Mei had long betrayed the human race and joined the demons, and Yu Zhao, who had mixed spiritual roots, no background, and was just an ordinary villager, was the blood food she offered to the demons.
The villain thus blackened, and also firmly believed that she was a human, and would always stand on the side of humans, and then killed the original owner in return.
The Starry Constellation Sect didn’t know about the original owner’s identity, and only thought that Yu Zhao had betrayed her master and sect, so they immediately sent people to capture Yu Zhao, and the female lead happened to be among them.
She and Yu Zhao met by chance, and recognized each other’s identities. Because of their tragic past, Yu Zhao spoke frankly to her, stating that she would go and exterminate the demons, kill the Demon Lord, and avenge the people in the village.
But on the day she infiltrated the demon realm, she was surrounded by the Demon Lord’s men.
And the female lead… was in the Demon Lord’s arms.
The female lead didn’t want to kill Yu Zhao, she was just in love with the Demon Lord, and didn’t want her to harm her lover.
Yu Zhao found it absurd and ridiculous.
After discovering that the female lead had truly fallen in love with the enemy who destroyed their entire family, Yu Zhao angrily self-destructed her Nascent Soul, wanting to take a fool down to hell with her before she died.
Unfortunately, she failed. The female lead only suffered a scratch, and then snuggled in the Demon Lord’s arms, being ‘loved’ by the domineering Demon Lord.
Just looking at this plot, Bo Chi felt aggrieved for Yu Zhao.
She shook her head, tidied up her clothes, walked out of the cave, and went towards Yu Zhao.
The Starry Constellation Sect had seventy-three peaks, each with an elder in charge. The original owner had become the peak master of the twenty-second peak at such a young age, which was considered to be extraordinarily talented and promising in the eyes of outsiders.
The original owner didn’t like pleasure, and didn’t care about her peak at all. Not only did she stay in a simple cave in seclusion, but she didn’t even have the disciples’ rooms cleaned. When Bo Chi arrived at Yu Zhao’s hut, she saw that the bamboo hut was very shabby, as if it had been casually built in the deep mountains and old forests, without any of the immortal sect’s grandeur.
She tsked in her heart, maintained the original owner’s cold expression, waved her sleeve, opened the bamboo door remotely, and called out faintly: “Disciple.“
A clang came from the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Bo Chi tilted her head, wanting to look, and just as she saw Yu Zhao hurriedly running out, she quickly looked away and put on a cold face.
“Master…” After Yu Zhao came out, she immediately knelt down, called out, and then didn’t say anything more, her face pale.
Her figure was thin, her face almost fleshless, even more pitiful than when Bo Chi had glimpsed her half a month ago.
Bo Chi asked the system in surprise: {How did my little disciple become so thin? Was she abused?}
{She was probably scared.} The system said calmly: {The cultivation world values the relationship between master and disciple. If the matter of her offending you is spread, she will definitely die – the only difference is whether she dies at your hands or at the hands of your sect leader.}
Bo Chi, a modern person, didn’t know about this. Seeing Yu Zhao kneeling unsteadily, she immediately felt pity, and decided to take the blame and suppress this matter.
“Get up,” she said with an unchanged expression, as if nothing had happened, “I have already broken through to the Golden Core stage and entered the Nascent Soul stage. How has your cultivation been these past few days? Is there anything you don’t understand?“
Yu Zhao was stunned, and secretly glanced at her.
Bo Chi pretended not to notice.
Yu Zhao then stood up, opened her mouth, and said softly: “Disciple sensed spiritual energy a while ago, but after the spiritual energy entered my body, my consciousness became hazy, and I uncontrollably did some… bad things.“
She clearly wanted to hide what she had done that day, but she wouldn’t lie, so she just said these words dryly. To those who were interested, it was as funny as a censored image.
Bo Chi looked thoughtful, but in fact, she flipped through the million-word original plot, searched for a long time, and finally, in the gaps between the male and female leads’ love story, she found the reason why Yu Zhao had a strange reaction to the spiritual energy entering her body.
——Because Yu Zhao had half demonic bloodline in her body, so when she absorbed spiritual energy, her body would have two completely different reactions.
Human blood could accept and absorb spiritual energy, while demonic blood would strongly reject and resist it.
The two reactions intertwined, and the fact that Yu Zhao only lost her mind was already fortunate.
However, in the original plot, the villain wasn’t so lucky. After absorbing the spiritual energy, her meridians were instantly broken, her whole body drenched in blood. She struggled in the bamboo hut for a few days, and finally survived.
When the original owner came out of seclusion, she asked as usual, but the original owner didn’t know that she had demonic blood, so she couldn’t give any solutions.
The villain was unwilling to be so weak. After studying for a long time, she found that bleeding could allow her to successfully absorb spiritual energy, so every time she cultivated afterwards, she would stand at the table with a dagger, absorbing spiritual energy while cutting wounds on her arm.
After five years of cultivation, she had cut herself 1825 times, each cut stained with blood, witnessing her desire for strength and revenge.
Although she admired the villain’s willpower and perseverance, Bo Chi couldn’t bear to let Yu Zhao do this.
She was silent for two seconds, and decisively contacted the system.
The system took her points, and still said playfully: {Isn’t this easy to solve? Dual cultivation! Look, after you dual cultivated once, her demonic blood calmed down, not only did she not have any negative reactions, but her cultivation also improved a lot. Let me tell you, this is much better than bleeding, are you really not considering it?}
Bo Chi glanced at her little disciple, whose expression was uneasy: {No, I don’t want to scare her to death.}
{How boring.} The system shook its head, and pointed out: {The solution is very simple, there are two ways. One is to remove the demonic blood in her body and make her a true human; the other is to let her change her cultivation method, casually form a contract with a spirit beast, draw some spirit talismans, or open her sword heart, using an intermediary to use spiritual power, which is better than directly absorbing it.}
Bo Chi hesitated: {How do I remove the demonic blood? Will it harm her body?}
{It won’t.} The system said calmly: {It will only make her lose her tail.}
Bo Chi was instantly shocked: {Tail?! What tail? I didn’t see her have a tail!
{Demons are all like this, their true forms are strange. She inherited half of the demonic blood, it’s normal for her to have a tail.} System: {Her demonic blood is still dormant now, when it truly awakens, you will naturally see it.}
An inexplicable expectation arose in Bo Chi’s heart.
What would Yu Zhao’s tail be like?
Was it short, like a little rabbit’s tail, or big and fluffy, like a fox’s tail that was super nice to rub?
Just thinking about it, Bo Chi felt a little charmed.
The system sighed twice, and timely woke her up: {I suggest you keep her demonic blood, because in this world, the upper limit of mixed-bloods’ strength is very high.}
Bo Chi, thinking of a bunch of tails, said happily: {Okay, okay, I’ll keep it.}
The system looked at her happy face, thought about Yu Zhao’s true form, and couldn’t help but grin, then coughed lightly and said: {Then the rest is to use unorthodox methods. There are too many options, you choose one first, and after you choose, I’ll tell you how to do it.}
Bo Chi didn’t have much to choose from, after all, it wasn’t her who was making the choice.
She withdrew her thoughts, looked at Yu Zhao, who was lowering her head in front of her, and told her about this method.
Yu Zhao listened in confusion, and after digesting it for a long time, she said seriously: “Master, I want to learn swordsmanship.“
Bo Chi frowned: “It’s extremely difficult to cultivate the Dao through swordsmanship. Many people are stuck at the stage of Sword Heart Enlightenment. Even if your swordsmanship is very good, as long as you can’t comprehend the Sword Heart, you can only be considered a master in the mortal world, far from being a cultivator.“
Yu Zhao’s expression was firm, and on the path of cultivation, she had never retreated: “Thank you for your teachings, Master. This disciple doesn’t understand anything about refining weapons or drawing talismans, this disciple only knows that one day, I will wield a long sword, kill all the demon cultivators in the world, and avenge the 78 lives in my Zhao Family Village! Avenge the humans who died at the hands of demon cultivators!“
Bo Chi stared at her deeply, her face showing no joy or sorrow, but secretly contacted the system: {Did you see that?}
System: {I saw it. Since she chose the sword, then—}
Bo Chi excitedly interrupted it: {Don’t interrupt, just look at my wife! Wow, my wife is so cool!}
System: {???}
So she asked if it saw it…
Just to see how cool Yu Zhao was?
The system was speechless, and gave Bo Chi the middle finger.
