I Know What You're Up To, Miss!

Lu Xingyan returned to Xiaoyao Peak, but didn't see Yuezheng Yan.

Instead, his three Immortal's Caves, along with the weeds outside hers, had all been tidied up.

[Old Sixth, do you think a Great Antagonist who's already blackened can become the Snail Boy?]

For the sake of maximizing cultivation efficiency, Lu Xingyan wouldn't take special time to trim the weeds outside her Immortal's Cave.

She would wait until they reached a certain height and then cut them down with a wooden sword. Lu Xingyan even had requirements for the cut of the weeds.

Even though she used a wooden sword, the cuts had to be as even as if they were made with a sharp sword.

She hadn't expected that Yuezheng Yan, with a blackening value of twenty million, would tidy up his own Immortal's Cave and incidentally take care of the weeds outside hers as well.

With his enthusiasm for chores, if there was no system, who would think he had a blackening value of twenty million?

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

Hearing a voice outside the Immortal's Cave, Yuezheng Yan, thinking Lu Xingyan had returned, quickly erased the half-drawn Formation he had been sketching with a charcoal pencil on the stone bed and got up to greet her.

After cleaning his Immortal's Cave, Yuezheng Yan had taken the opportunity to wash himself in the pool hidden behind the small waterfall next to his cave.

Upon leaving the Yuezheng Family, except for the patch-covered sackcloth garments he wore, he didn't bring much with him.

Now dressed in the snow-white direct disciple's robe, embroidered with landscapes of rivers and golden blue mists, he actually presented an ethereal aura of flickering golden light among the mountain mists and drifting clouds.

His stature was tall and straight, his features deep-set and handsome, if only a little too thin.

Lu Xingyan lifted the food box in her hands, smiling, "It looks like Junior Brother is adjusting well. Senior Sister just went to the Spiritual Meal Hall to fetch a meal to welcome and cleanse you from your journey. The spiritual meals of our Xuanling Sect are quite delicious; I hope you'll also like them, Junior Brother."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for going through the trouble," he said.

Seeing Yuezheng Yan's obedient nature, Lu Xingyan revealed a kind smile, "As long as Junior Brother likes it, there's no talk of whether it's trouble or not."

"Senior Sister..." Yuezheng Yan lowered his head, hesitating to speak, his voice choking up.

Lu Xingyan leaned forward to look, finding his eyes moist, the corners reddened in his alluring peach-blossom-shaped eyes.

"You, you aren't crying, are you!" Lu Xingyan was shocked.

"No." Yuezheng Yan sat on a stone stool, turning away, speaking softly, "It's just... I've never had anyone be so kind to me before. From my childhood to now, I have only felt such kindness from Senior Sister. I'm afraid this is an illusion."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. Of course, this isn't an illusion. Now that you have joined Xiaoyao Peak, from now on, you'll be under its protection. If anyone bullies you, just tell Senior Sister." Lu Xingyan soothed him gently, comforting the Great Antagonist with two million blackening value, who was on the verge of tears.

Yet in her heart, she scoffed coldly.

[Little fellow, you're quite the actor.]

Hearing the Heart's Voice, Yuezheng Yan, who was wiping his tears, paused.

Had she seen through him already?

His tears remained pooled in his eyes, uncertain whether to follow the plan and let them fall or to hold them back.

[With a blackening value of twenty million, and here you are moved to tears over a meal I've given you. Who are you trying to fool?]

[Hahaha, Host, don't say that. Doesn't the Little Antagonist have any face left? Hahaha]

Taking advantage of the internal conversation, the 666 system let out a derisive noise resembling a goose's cackle.

Yuezheng Yan silently held back the tears that hadn't fallen yet.

From the conversation between Lu Xingyan and the system, Yuezheng Yan picked up on the fact that even though Old Sixth's Contracted Beast had an indistinct voice, neither masculine nor feminine, it certainly had some skills.

It could dig up every detail of his life timeline from birth to Demon Lord, even specifying the color of his underwear each day.

Used to the authority of being a Demon Lord over a realm, Yuezheng Yan feared that his bloody ruthlessness nurtured while being a Demon Lord might carry over into the body of the still young man he had become after reincarnating.
