Chapter 4
Lu Yuan had thought that what he was facing now was just a celestial world version of lovers being caught red-handed. He hadn’t expected to encounter a celestial world version of the “Infernal Affairs”!
On the system interface, Ye Tingyu’s real name was “Meng Ruyan”. It was suspicious at a glance. After all, which decent person would hide their real name?
Combined with the divine abilities and cultivation techniques on Ye Tingyu’s interface that were obviously not from the Qingyun Sect, Lu Yuan could now boldly conclude that Meng Ruyan, who was disguised as Ye Tingyu, was a spy planted in the Qingyun Sect by the enemy forces!
After thinking it through, Lu Yuan was even more afraid.
He had thought the senior sister was an understanding and warm-hearted big sister. He didn’t expect her to be a demoness who was ruthless and greedy!
Couldn’t there be more trust between people?!
At present, he was first caught on the spot by Senior Brother Chen, a huge sucker who was ready to throw a fireball at him at any time.
Then, there was Senior Sister Ye, who seemed to be protecting him, but in truth had bad intentions and clearly wanted to take his virginity.
It was truly a desperate situation of being surrounded by hostile parties.
At this moment, Lu Yuan understood that he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
But in reality, he had no choice at all!
Being used as a furnace and giving up his body didn’t necessarily mean death, but if he were to be hit by a fireball right in his face…
With his current weak body, he would definitely be dead.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to admit that he could only cling to the demoness for now and live on.
Only by being alive would he have a future!
If his virginity was taken, then so be it. At most, he would just go back and mend his body!
Therefore, Lu Yuan immediately retreated and hid behind Ye Tingyu, looking pitiful as if he was asking for protection.
Seeing this, Chen Yan was even more displeased.
To think his fiancée was protecting another man. No one could stand such a matter!
“Junior Sister Ye, I’m a dignified Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. How can I not be comparable to this gigolo behind you?”
Damn it, to think he was belittling him!
To Lu Yuan, Chen Yan was just some lowly bastard who only judged by appearances. Could the latter see the interesting soul hidden under his beautiful skin?
No, Senior Brother Chen indeed couldn’t see it. He could only see his good-looking skin! To think the other party still had the nerve to criticize him. Lu Yuan was simply enraged.
Facing Chen Yan who belittled Lu Yuan, Ye Tingyu didn’t refute but simply said with a faint smile, “Senior Brother Chen, since things have come to this, I have nothing to hide. Indeed, other than being good-looking and knowing his way with words, Junior Brother Lu doesn’t have any other good points. In terms of family background and cultivation talent, Junior Brother Lu can’t even think of comparing to you, senior brother.”
Lu Yuan silently raised the middle finger in his heart.
Thank you, he felt quite offended.
“But… It can’t be helped. I am such a shallow person.”
Ye Tingyu turned around and hooked Lu Yuan’s chin with her finger.
Ye Tingyu was no longer as dignified as before. She was now exuding an alluring charm.
Facing Ye Tingyu’s teasing, Lu Yuan did not dare to move.
He had no choice. His life was in the hands of this demoness…
Chen Yan looked at his fiancée in name flirting with another man.
Not only was his expression so dark that it seemed that rain would fall at any time, but even the veins on his face began to bulge.
Although he wished with all his heart to turn Lu Yuan into ashes right now, he did not forget the price of killing the other disciples of the same sect.
Moreover, with Ye Tingyu around, he could not hurt Lu Yuan at all.
They were both Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, yet not only was Ye Tingyu’s cultivation slightly above his, but even the divine abilities she cultivated were much more exquisite than his.
If they really fought, it would be hard to say who would win.
He couldn’t beat her, nor could he scold her.
Since that was the case, he could only take revenge in the future.
“Junior Sister Ye, even if you can protect Junior Brother Lu for now, you can’t protect him forever. Junior Brother Lu, the world of cultivators… It’s very dangerous.”
With that, Chen Yan left Ye Tingyu’s cave abode with a stormy face.
Chen Yan had already given up on pursuing Ye Tingyu. The only thought he had left was to make the two of them pay the price.
Not only could Ye Tingyu see this, but Lu Yuan could also see it.
To be targeted by a Foundation Establishment Stage senior brother, Lu Yuan felt that he would be in big trouble in the future.
Jesus! Why dis all of them have to blame him, a transmigrator, for the things that the body’s original owner had done?
Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The one who became the senior sister’s lover was the body’s original owner, not him, a transmigrator.
If they had any problems, they should go look for the body’s original owner. Why were they after him instead?
Unfortunately, no matter how much Lu Yuan tried to clear his name in his mind, he was still at the top of Chen Yan’s revenge list.
Fortunately, as long as he didn’t reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, Chen Yan wouldn’t be able to attack him.
If Chen Yan were to shed all pretenses of cordiality and attacked him now, the price the former would have to pay was something he could not bear.
One should never doubt the strictness of the Qingyun Sect in protecting its fellow disciples.
However, in the same logic, once Lu Yuan’s cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chen Yan would have many reasons to make a move against him.
With the enmity between the two of them, Lu Yuan was sure that the sucker Chen Yan would not let him off easily.
Moreover, Chen Yan’s hatred was only one of the problems that Lu Yuan was currently facing.
He still had to face the fiend demoness, Ye Tingyu!
The sucker had left, but the demoness had not!
Chen Yan could fly away on his sword, but where could Lu Yuan go?
More importantly, he couldn’t fly yet!
At the thought of this, Lu Yuan’s expression turned even uglier.
Just as Lu Yuan was trying to think of a way to break out of this situation, an alluring voice was heard.
Ye Tingyu stretched her hand into Lu Yuan’s open sleeping robe and said charmingly, “Junior Brother Lu, don’t be afraid. As long as I’m around, you won’t be in danger.”
Ye Tingyu’s fingertips touched Lu Yuan’s skin. The cold touch made Lu Yuan take a step back subconsciously.
Seeing this, Ye Tingyu’s eyes flashed with confusion. The gaze she looked at Lu Yuan seemed to turn dark.
Had the junior brother discovered something?
Lu Yuan also noticed the change in Ye Tingyu’s eyes.
Oh no, he seemed to have exposed himself!
If this demoness knew that he had already seen through her identity, there was no guarantee that the other party would not do something to silence him.
Moreover, after killing him to silence him, she could even push all the blame on the sucker Chen Yan and keep herself out of it.
When he thought of this, Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea.
“Senior Sister, from the looks of it, Senior Brother Chen will definitely not let me off easily. If we really do allow something to go on between us, I won’t be Senior Brother Chen’s opponent at all with my weak cultivation if he comes looking for me. So, Senior Sister, about us… Why don’t we just forget about it?”
Hearing this, the wariness in Ye Tingyu’s eyes slowly disappeared.
It seems that the junior brother hadn’t discovered her identity, but was just frightened by that trash Chen Yan.
Thinking of this, Ye Tingyu said in a teasing tone, “Junior Brother Lu, do you still think that Senior Brother Chen will let you off the hook after things have come to this? Since ancient times, the hatred of one’s wife being snatched has never been something that can be easily resolved. Even though our engagement was only decided by our parents, there is still a marriage contract between us. He’s conceited and overbearing, after all, so I don’t think he’ll easily swallow this.”
“That’s why, Junior Brother Lu, you have to think this through. If you leave me, not only will you have to face Senior Brother Chen’s deliberate obstructions in the future, but you will also have to face the revenge of a Foundation Establishment Stage female cultivator who was rejected.”
“Junior Brother, can you bear the anger of two Foundation Establishement Stage cultivators?”
Lu Yuan was dumbfounded as he looked at Ye Tingyu, who had a faint smile on her face.
Was she threatening him? She was definitely threatening him!
What did she mean by facing the revenge of a rejected Foundation Establishment Stage female cultivator? She should’ve just said it straight that if he, Lu Yuan, left today, she would take care of him!
Indeed, once one lived long enough, one could witness many strange things. He had only heard of one forcefully trying to live off a woman, but had never heard of one being forced to live off a woman!
He only wanted to rely on his hard work to achieve a career. Why did she have to force him like this?
Although Lu Yuan wanted to have a backbone and reject this demoness, he had to admit that Ye Tingyu was right.
Right now, he really had no way to deal with the anger of two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators at the same time.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Lu Yuan could only choose to yield in the end.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was prepared to give in, Ye Tingyu’s eyes lingered on his handsome face for a moment, then she licked her red lips and said, “Junior Brother Lu, since the person in our way has left, then… We can continue with what we were doing before.”
Lu Yuan’s entire body trembled as he made his final resistance, “Senior Sister, why don’t we do it another day?”
“There’s no time like the present. I think tonight is good.”
“Wait a minute, I’m not ready yet…”
“There’s nothing to prepare. Just leave everything to me.”
…
A night passed.
[System Notification: Due to the influence of the luck talent, Demon Heart Jade Bone, and the cultivation technique, Demonic Desire Ice Heart Transcript, the host’s spiritual root aptitude has temporarily decreased by 20 points.]
Looking at the system notification, Lu Yuan recalled what had happened last night and immediately felt that he was the sucker.
As expected, the demoness was treating him as a furnace!
If not for the body’s original owner’s presumptuousness, the sucker would have been Chen Yan.
It could only be said that not everyone could live off a woman!
Fortunately, the aptitude of his spiritual roots had only dropped temporarily, and not permanently.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan would really cry to death on the spot.
However, he wasn’t the only one who suffered a loss last night.
[System Notification: Luck talent, Destined Lucky Star, has been activated. 50 points of luck value have been taken from the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, Meng Ruyan.]
[System Notification: Luck talent, Destined Lucky Star, has been activated. 20 points of luck value have been taken from the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, Chen Yan.]
[Accumulated disasters: 2]
[Current luck value: 120 points]
After one night, Lu Yuan obtained a total of 70 points of luck value.
His only loss was the temporary drop in his spiritual root cultivation aptitude.
If he weighed his gains and losses, it seemed that he had profited!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan was speechless.
His spiritual root was temporarily degraded, but he gained the rare luck value, so he didn’t lose out.
Ye Tingyu had temporarily lost her luck, but she had obtained the spiritual root aptitude she wanted, so she didn’t lose out either.
Only Chen Yan had not only lost his fiancée but also a portion of his luck value. His loss was huge.
With such calculation, among the three, Chen Yan was the only sucker!
