Chapter 13: The protagonist still wanted revenge, yet even his sister’s heart was stirred.

Ding!

[Congratulations, Host, for turning adversity into advantage and delivering a mental critical hit to the Child of Destiny, awarding Revenge Points…]

“No!”

Qin Yu froze on the spot.

When he saw that shameless hand wrapped around his sister’s waist and Ning Bei’s taunting look, rage drove him insane and he lunged at Ning Bei.

Ning Bei had no chance to fight back.

Qin Jiujiu had already summoned attendants, who dragged Qin Yu out, and she announced that if Qin Yu ever claimed to be her brother again, the academy disciples could deal with him as they wished.

This clearly severed her ties with Qin Yu, so from that moment on he could no longer act in her name.

Besides, no one would believe him if he tried.

Inside the room, silence reigned.

Ning Bei looked quietly at the young woman, a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face.

“Emm…”

Qin Jiujiu’s heart pounded under his stare, and she said nervously, “Just now I called myself your woman… to make him stop meddling, especially in our affairs.”

“I know.” Ning Bei chuckled and said, “That’s why I put my arm around your waist to play along.”

“Mm~”

Qin Jiujiu bit her lip, not knowing what else to say.

Though she carried memories of two lifetimes, she had never interacted with any man but Ning Bei.

Moreover, she had already shared intimacy with Ning Bei, and even if neither of them mentioned it again, the sealed room still felt awkward; it was a hazy, indescribable tension.

Sensing it too, Ning Bei took the initiative to excuse himself.

“I’ll see you to the door.”

When Qin Jiujiu escorted him to the threshold, Ning Bei stopped her with a smile: “No need; now that we are both chief disciples everyone is watching us, and the academy will soon send us to lead disciples on an expedition, so you should focus on stabilizing your realm.”

“All right~”

Qin Jiujiu nodded with a radiant smile and did not insist.

She stood by the doorway and watched Ning Bei until his figure vanished, then closed the door.

She exhaled softly.

Back in the room, Qin Jiujiu leaned against the door, took a deep breath, pressed a jade hand over her wildly beating heart and said, “This feeling… is so strange.”

Meanwhile, Ning Bei left the courtyard.

When Ning Bei opened the System Shop and checked, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK rifle: “Hiss, I actually have seventy-five thousand five hundred Revenge Points?”

He had never expected to gain so many Revenge Points in just a few days, enough to buy plenty of good items in the System Shop.

Most of those Revenge Points came from Qin Jiujiu, Qin Yu, and Lin Yueyao, with others providing only a small portion.

After thinking for a while, Ning Bei decided to exchange for three Essence Convergence Pills to push his cultivation forward.

If he could advance from late Foundation Establishment to the Core Formation realm before the expedition, his strength would soar, because the Core Formation realm was a milestone for cultivators.

Before that stage one might rely on artifacts to fly, but after forming a core one could soar unaided.

What cultivator did not dream of traveling through the skies and the earth?

Besides, his power would multiply several times over.

Ning Bei acted at once, abandoning any thought of spending the remaining Revenge Points and instead focused on refining the precious Essence Convergence Pills.

After all, the tens of thousands of leftover Revenge Points could not buy any heaven-defying treasure, so it was better to save them.

At that moment, the academy’s main hall buzzed with activity.

Inside the main hall of the academy, the atmosphere was tense.

Led by Wuyue, the academy’s powerhouses stood around a half-man-tall round stone, examining it and sighing from time to time.

“The Divine Mirror is hidden inside the stone; we can finally see its true form.”

“Yes, before, because a predecessor’s will lingered in the mirror, we could only use it for assessments; now that the will has faded, we no longer need to hold back.”

“Our academy will gain yet another supreme treasure!”

Hearing their remarks, Wuyue stroked his silver beard with a smile and said, “Everyone, break the stone with me and take out the mirror.”

“Yes!”

All of them shouted in unison.

Powerful spiritual energy erupted from their bodies, and in an instant the entire hall seemed ready to collapse.

Boom!

When their vast power poured into the stone, the seal within shattered at once, and soon a strangely shaped mirror fell out.

Swish!

At the same time, a streak of light flew from the mirror and vanished.

“Grand Preceptor, what was that just now?”

Someone cried out in alarm.

The others looked at one another, bewildered surprise written on their faces; clearly they had sensed it too.

Wuyue knitted his silver brows yet sensed nothing, so he finally said, “It was probably just residual force from inside the mirror; no need to worry, let us study the Divine Mirror first.”

“Well said.”

No one else minded.

Some time later.

In the part-time disciple quarters, everything was quiet.

Qin Yu walked along like a lost soul; the blow he had just suffered was simply too heavy, and he still could not recover.

“Ouch!”

Suddenly, a streak of light stabbed into his brow, making his whole body shudder.

Immediately afterward, a strange voice rang out in his mind: “Little one, you are fated with this exalted self!”

“Who? Who is talking?”

Qin Yu’s hair stood on end as he looked around.

“Stop searching; this exalted self is inside your body.”

“What?” Qin Yu’s face turned ashen at those words. “W-who are you, and how did you get into my body?”

“My name is Heavenly Venerable of Great Love.”

The aged voice continued slowly, “I was once a renowned powerhouse in the Immortal Realm, but because of a single misstep I suffered qi deviation, my body was destroyed, and I became a wisp of soul wandering the world; I never expected that passing by today I would sense the fate between you and me.”

Heavenly Venerable of Great Love?

Immortal Realm?

Fated?

Hearing these terms, Qin Yu’s expression shifted and he quickly grew hopeful: “Senior, what do you mean by fate?”

Seeing that Qin Yu had taken the bait, the aged voice went on, “I see you covered in wounds and steeped in sorrow; you must have suffered all the hardships of this mundane world.”

The words nearly made Qin Yu cry, and he said excitedly, “Senior, you are completely right… Senior, can you help me?”

He wished he could drop to his knees and beg.

Life was simply too bitter right now.

“Very well.” The aged voice sighed artificially. “Since fate binds us, I will break the rules and take you as my disciple; from now on I shall give you some guidance, and you will amaze the world and stand invincible.”

“Master, please accept your disciple’s bow.”

Before the voice finished, Qin Yu fell to his knees with a thud.

He feared the other might change his mind.

After so much suffering, he had finally, finally found a chance to rise!

He would turn all those contemptuous looks and sneers into admiration and envy, just as he looked at Ning Bei.

Then he would trample that bastard Ning Bei underfoot and wash away his humiliation!

“Good disciple.” Joy colored the aged voice. “As I said, because of qi deviation I lost my body and cannot remain here for long; if you want me to stay and instruct you, you must first do one thing for me.”

“Master, please speak; whatever it is, I am willing.”

“I want all of your cultivation, without resistance.”

“What?”

Qin Yu was stunned.

Yet after hesitating, he still agreed; after all, he was only at early Qi Refining, and without staking everything he would never have a chance to turn the tables.

Why not gamble?

Thus, it began.

As soon as Qin Yu consented, the soul remnant began to draw out his cultivation.

“Ah!”

The process was extremely painful, and in an instant Qin Yu felt heat between his legs.

He lost all control of his bowels and bladder.

“Disciple, do not resist; your master will be finished soon.”

“Ah, ah, ah… Master… I can endure… ah, ah, ah… Master, be gentler… your disciple hurts so much~”

The process did not last long, because Qin Yu’s cultivation was too low.

Although the soul remnant was dissatisfied, it had no choice; if it did not absorb some power now, it would soon dissipate.

Having some was better than none.

Qin Yu, however, suffered greatly.

He collapsed on the ground, his body still trembling, while under him lay a foul wet patch of mixed filth.

It was an unbearable sight.

“Master… is that enough?”

Qin Yu asked weakly.

Even after such torture, he had not forgotten his hope of rising again.

“Good disciple, from now on I can remain by your side and help you defy fate.” The aged voice sounded again, drawing him a rosy future.

“Wonderful.”

Tears of joy rolled down Qin Yu’s cheeks; it had been worth soiling his trousers and sitting in his own filth.

And no one had even discovered him.

Heaven was truly helping him!

While Qin Yu was immersed in happiness, a graceful figure suddenly appeared without warning…it was Lin Yueyao.

Qin Yu froze, face pale: Σ(っﾟДﾟ;)っ
