Big Brother, Little Sister

This instant, it seemed as if everything in the world fell into a deathly silence.

After a long period of silence, the servants reacted, wailing and kneeling on the ground, kowtowing countless times, and fleeing in disarray, leaving their torches and long blades behind.

The moonlight was bright, illuminating the entire land.

Su Yuan stared blankly at the back of the immortal.

Aside from that one sentence, he hadn’t uttered another sound.

The night sky was clear, and as a fleeting cloud covered the moon, the immortal turned around.

Su Yuan couldn’t see his face clearly, nor did she dare to lift her head to look at him even once.

Suddenly, a sigh echoed in her ears.

“Leave this place.”

The immortal’s voice sounded, and black boots stepped once more on the damp earth, making rustling sounds.

“And never come back.”

The black robe with flame-shadow lines embroidered with gold thread disappeared into the bushes.

It was a long time before Su Yuan raised her head.

That immortal had vanished.

She tightly clutched the money bag in her arms, shrinking as she crawled out of her hiding spot.

The mountain forest was silent, as if nothing had happened.

Only the messy footprints and long blades scattered on the ground showed that dozens of outsiders had once visited this place.

Su Yuan’s right hand trembled as she hung the money bag around her neck, then turned around and knelt down with utmost sincerity in the direction the immortal had left.

Before leaving, she used rainwater to extinguish all the torches, fearing that it would cause a forest fire and disturb the immortal.

That immortal’s voice wasn’t weathered, on the contrary, there was a youthful air to it, Su Yuan thought, as she ran towards the distance once more, only this time she was no longer lost.

She had her own goal.

She wanted to become a cultivator, absolutely had to become a cultivator.

She wanted to become stronger, and then find that immortal, and tell him that he had saved her from the darkness that night, becoming her only light.

Afterward, with the money and introductions from her father’s friends, Su Yuan stumbled and participated in the entrance trials of seven sects in a row, but the only one she barely passed was the outer sect of the Tianming Sect.

She unhesitatingly chose to join the Tianming Sect’s outer sect, thinking that even the outer sect was fine.

She would cultivate desperately, so she could see that immortal again.

If Lin Huaian only saw this, he would be moved by this girl’s experience, marveling that there was actually such a grateful woman in the world who was willing to devote her life to pursuing that figure.

He wondered who that nameless good Samaritan was, to be able to create such a deep bond with a Child of Destiny.

Unfortunately, the subsequent plot was a bit off.

Su Yuan stayed in the outer sect of the Tianming Sect for a full three years.

During these three years, not only did her cultivation not improve much, but also because of her status as a female disciple and that charming face, she was constantly being teased and harassed by the outer sect disciples.

Some even directly wanted to force her to be their Dao companion.

If Su Yuan hadn’t threatened to kill herself, and if deaths in the outer sect weren’t hard to quietly suppress, Su Yuan might not have been able to maintain her chastity and survive until today.

Finally, three years later, as she was sweeping fallen leaves in the courtyard, the emergence of a Sword Immortal from the inner sect of the Tianming Sect completely stimulated Su Yuan, whose cultivation hadn’t improved in a year.

She couldn’t help but begin to doubt what cultivation was, what cultivators were, and what was the difference between these cultivators who wanted to possess her and that landlord’s young master?

Just then, the inner demon that had been lurking in her heart surfaced, breaking her last psychological defense.

This reincarnated immortal was actually a Heavenly Star of Solitude in her previous life, a natural demon cultivator, which was why she had cultivated for a full three years without much progress, because her physique was fundamentally a demon cultivator’s physique.

Since the appearance of the inner demon, Su Yuan’s personality also began to change.

On the day she fell into the demonic path, she used the blood of her fellow disciples to perform a blood sacrifice, completely becoming a demonic cultivator, and eventually becoming the Supreme Demon Lord, slaughtering everything under the heavens.

And at that time, she had long forgotten the immortal who had saved her that year.

The last scene Lin Huaian saw was a peerless beauty wearing a blood-red robe and a crown of bones.

She had white hair and gray eyes, her slender white legs exposed in the raging wind.

This beauty stood proudly against the wind atop a mountain of cultivators’ bones, blood flowing like a river, her smile charmingly evil, yet revealing unparalleled hideousness and madness, bewitching and wicked.

She was no longer Su Yuan of the Tianming Sect.

But the Demon Lord who single-handedly fought against the righteous path of the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.

The screen disappeared.

Lin Huaian looked at the girl cowering in fear in front of him.

After a brief moment of thought, he felt he should run.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save this girl, but that this girl couldn’t be saved at all.

Stimulated by the Sword Immortal’s appearance, wasn’t that yesterday?

Damn, there are Children of Destiny like this?

The inner demon surfaced yesterday, so logically she should start killing people to perform blood sacrifices and become a demon cultivator starting today.

If Ji Xin hadn’t grabbed her early in the morning, the outer sect would probably already have corpses by now.

Really, you’re something else! Ji Xin! Sending a bomb as a gift, huh?!

I’m really fucked by your immortal!

On the Purple Forbidden Tower, Ji Xin, who was reveling in beautiful fantasies about the future, suddenly had the feeling that he was being cursed.

So he hurriedly looked around, but found nothing unusual, and could only rub his nose, barely treating it as his illusion.

Lin Huaian was scared.

He was extremely scared!

This Child of Destiny couldn’t be kept, absolutely couldn’t be kept!

If it was before the inner demon surfaced, it would have been fine, but now that this Child of Destiny was already on the path to corruption, keeping her by his side would just be waiting to be stabbed by her, wouldn’t it?

Su Yuan was originally going to kill someone today, but Ji Xin grabbed her, doesn’t that mean the person she was going to kill today changed from some unlucky disciple to me?!

No, I seem to have been an unlucky disciple all along.

At the thought of this, Lin Huaian was about to cry, but could only endure it, desperately roaring at the shadow of the sect master in his heart again—

Ji Xin! I f*ck your immortal!

“Hmm?”

On the Purple Forbidden Tower, Ji Xin realized something again, scratched his head, and then suddenly understood—Lin Huaian must be thanking him, right?

After all, there weren’t many junior sisters as beautiful as Su Yuan in the entire sect.

Just as Lin Huaian was silently weeping, thinking about what reason to use to make Su Yuan scram without any resentment, Su Yuan spoke.

“That, that, senior brother,” Su Yuan said, wiping away her tears, trying to suppress her sobs, her voice trembling,

“Please, please don’t, don’t do anything too, too much to me, I, I’m already a seventeen-year-old girl, I, I can really have children…”

Lin Huaian fell into contemplation after hearing this.

After a brief moment of thought, he very decisively came to the conclusion: This future Great Demon Lord of his… doesn’t seem very smart?

He didn’t know that Su Yuan was actually more panicked than he was right now.

As a disciple of the Tianming Sect, Su Yuan had heard about Lin Huaian helping Si Qingxue awaken her sword intent as soon as she condensed it.

Almost at the same time, her jealousy intensified, and she inexplicably added a bit more resentment and fear towards this senior brother she had never met.

It was as if she was questioning Lin Huaian why he didn’t come to help her.

She had suppressed her inner demon all night, and finally decided to kill someone to perform a blood sacrifice in the morning, but at this time, Sect Master Ji Xin actually went to the outer sect’s servant quarters for the first time, and earnestly asked her to serve Lin Huaian.

Su Yuan was actually the type of person who didn’t know how to refuse others when asked, until she was half coaxed and half tricked by Ji Xin to the First Peak, she realized that she seemed to have a big problem—

I’m going to kill people to perform blood sacrifices and fall into demonic cultivation, but I can’t beat senior brother!!!

Not to mention the senior brother who can awaken the Innate Sword Physique with a single sword mark now, even the Lin Huaian at the peak of the Connecting Fate Realm who failed to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm could crush her little Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer.

If a demonic cultivator doesn’t perform a blood sacrifice, then it’s the same as not being possessed by a demon, there’s absolutely no difference.

She couldn’t win in a fight, and she couldn’t run away, she could only complain about her bitter fate, never expecting that she, who had been tough all her life, would finally fall into the hands of these immortals.

“I’m sorry, benefactor…” she lowered her head, crying aggrievedly in her heart, “I may never see you again…”

Cultivators, immortals, senior brothers, sect masters, what’s the difference between you and the beasts of the world—

Her thoughts suddenly broke off here, because a warm sensation came from above her head.

Su Yuan raised her head blankly, but happened to see Lin Huaian retracting his hand, revealing a gentle smile to her.

She couldn’t help but pause, those golden eyes reflected in her eyes, like gentle golden sand.

“What was I saying?” Lin Huaian asked tentatively.

“S-Senior brother, please speak, I, I’m listening…” Su Yuan replied in a low voice, actually preparing to resist Lin Huaian with all her might.

If he dared to touch her, then even if she had to give up her life, she would make Lin Huaian shed some blood!

Just as she was thinking this, Lin Huaian’s voice came from her ear, accompanied by the cold wind:

“That thing, let’s discuss it, I don’t think your cultivation is very ideal, how about I send someone to send you back to the mortal world, and find you a place to live?”

“…Huh?”

Su Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard this.

The first half of the sentence sounded like he was still mocking her, but the meaning of the second half wasn’t quite right.

“What huh, it’s just sending you back to the mortal world and finding you a place to live, then you’ll be responsible for eating, drinking, having fun, and recuperating every day.

It doesn’t matter if you get the urge to take care of a young gigolo. I’ll give you five hundred taels of gold every month, mind you, it’s gold, not silver.

You don’t have to do anything except spend this money, and there’s no cost. Your residence will be in Cangzhou, and I’ll have the family do their best to find you the best one.

I can find you as many servants as you want. Do you want the kind of city street area where you can go out to the bustling red dust, or the kind of lakeside, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fresh air, where you can occasionally grow your own land?”

Facing Lin Huaian’s passionate and sincere gaze, Su Yuan fell into contemplation.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Yuan carefully came to a conclusion: This infamous senior brother of hers… doesn’t seem very smart?
