Chapter 21: The Demon Clan Wants Her Dead

Su Jiu originally wanted to go find Mu Yunqing to ask about the Three-Day Red Face poison, but she received news from Shen Wangchen that Mu Yunqing had volunteered to go to the Cliff of Reflection in the back mountain for a month of reflection.

Su Jiu was a little surprised, “Did Senior Brother commit some kind of offense?”

It couldn’t be. Mu Yunqing was always the most respectful of his master and could be said to be Shen Wangchen’s most valued disciple.

[Could it be… that Senior Brother attacked Master?] This thought startled Su Jiu.

[No, that’s not right. The Three-Day Red Face was drunk by me, so Master shouldn’t have been poisoned. Plus, that little bastard Mo Lin hasn’t come back yet. Based on Senior Brother’s personality, how could he possibly attack Master?]

Su Jiu remembered it clearly.

In the original book, Shen Wangchen drank the Hundred-Day Brew that was laced with Three-Day Red Face and quickly realized something was wrong.

But unlike Su Jiu, who was a cultivation-disabled waste, Shen Wangchen endured until the second night.

At that time, Mo Lin, who had gone out to slay demons, had just returned and went to the Undying Palace to tell Shen Wangchen that he was back. He saw him struggling under the influence of the love poison.

Unlike Mu Yunqing, Qi Chaoye, and Cang Qiansxue, Mo Lin, although the latest to enter the sect, was the first to fall for Shen Wangchen.

He already had some thoughts at that time.

Seeing Shen Wangchen’s appearance, entangled by lust, Mo Lin didn’t have any thoughts at first, but when he saw Shen Wangchen’s snow-white body after he took off his clothes because of the heat, he decided to make his move.

Logically, Mo Lin, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, couldn’t do anything to Shen Wangchen, who was at the Unity Stage.

However, he accidentally learned of his Demon Clan identity while slaying demons this time and also obtained a prop—a jade pendant containing a soul of the Demon Clan’s ancestor.

It was that Demon Clan ancestor who helped him attack Shen Wangchen.

In the following plot…

Su Jiu couldn’t bear to look.

It was fine when she was just reading the book and treating them as paper characters. Su Jiu could even bite her blanket and scream because it hit her spot, but now that she was in the middle of it all—

And she was a cannon fodder female lead who died in just two chapters, Su Jiu couldn’t get excited anymore.

She just wanted to die.

Shen Wangchen was now immune to Su Jiu’s inner voice.

He wasn’t interested in what Su Jiu was looking at. All his thoughts were on Mo Lin’s identity.

“Your senior brother just wants to be alone for a while,” Shen Wangchen said calmly, raising his sapphire eyes to look at Su Jiu, “Your junior brother sent me a message saying he’ll be back in a couple of days…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the girl in front of him widen her almond-shaped eyes.

Her face was filled with terror.

[Damn it! That little bastard Mo Lin is coming back? He wasn’t supposed to come back according to the plot, why is he suddenly coming back?!]

[Ahhh, can’t he just die out there? Master, please don’t let Mo Lin come back. Do you know he’s already a member of the Demon Clan, and he has a Demon Clan ancestor with him? He’s coming back to break the seal of the Demon Sealing Array!]

Su Jiu didn’t remember this part of the plot very well. She skipped through it, only focusing on the spicy parts.

As for Mo Lin seizing the position of Demon Lord, Mu Yunqing returning to the mortal realm to inherit the throne and forever bidding farewell to the immortal path, and Qi Chaoye killing his uncle and ascending to the position of Demon King, she skipped all of that.

Su Jiu now regrets her picky reading habits.

[Woohoo, I knew Mo Lin was going to break the seal of the Demon Sealing Array, but I didn’t know how he was going to do it.]

[And if I remember correctly, after he came back this time, there were a lot of demonic creatures in the Qian Yuan Sect, and many disciples died, including several elders!]

[Even Master was seriously injured by him! No wonder he later chased his wife to the grave, and Master wouldn’t even look at him. He deserved it!]

However, on the surface, Su Jiu put on a surprised and delighted expression, “Ah, Junior Brother is coming back, that’s really…”

She held back the bitterness in her heart and was about to say “great.”

Then she heard Shen Wangchen say calmly, “But Master plans to let him stay for another half a month.”

Su Jiu: “Ah?”

Her lips were already curled up.

[Good, good, Master, you should just let him never come back!]

Shen Wangchen paused, tapping the table lightly with his knuckles, “But it seems you miss your junior brother quite a bit.”

Su Jiu: “Huh?”

[I miss him? I miss him so much I wish he would die out there!]

In the original book, Mo Lin was the one who was the most ruthless in killing her.

This little brat, she had picked him up from a beggar’s den, fed him, clothed him, and bathed him.

She even taught him swordsmanship, even though he wasn’t cut out for it, she taught him hand-in-hand.

And what did he do?

He killed her with the sword she gave him!

If Su Jiu hated anyone the most after awakening her consciousness, it was Mo Lin.

Both in the book and in her life after she transmigrated but lost her memories, she had always treated Mo Lin like a real sister.

Even though he was only two years younger than her.

But how did Mo Lin treat her?

When Mu Yunqing only planned to lock her up and hand her over to Shen Wangchen, and when Qi Chaoye only wanted to drive her out of the Qian Yuan Sect,

Mo Lin broke into the place where she was imprisoned in the back mountain. When she thought he was coming to save her, he killed her with a sword.

Even though Su Jiu knew that these things hadn’t happened yet, she couldn’t treat Mo Lin the same way anymore.

In fact, after knowing that he was a member of the Demon Clan and that he would kill many disciples when he came back this time, Su Jiu actually hoped he would die out there.

She suddenly wanted to tell Shen Wangchen all of this, to tell him not to let Mo Lin come back.

But Su Jiu couldn’t.

“Master, I actually…”

Shen Wangchen saw Su Jiu’s aversion and disgust towards Mo Lin. Even when she said she wished he would die out there, her tone didn’t sound like she was joking.

She seemed to genuinely think that way.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Shen Wangchen had watched Su Jiu grow up and naturally knew that she had the softest heart and had the best relationship with Mo Lin.

On the entire Undying Mountain, Su Jiu was the one who couldn’t bear to see Mo Lin get hurt.

When Mo Lin went down the mountain to slay demons three months ago, Su Jiu was the one who was most reluctant to let him go.

She even came to him specifically to ask when Mo Lin would be back after he finished his mission, saying she had brought him a gift.

How could she have become so disgusted and hateful towards him in just a few days?

Shen Wangchen remained silent for a moment and interrupted her.

“I’ve already sent a message to your junior brother, telling him to come back in a few days. He should arrive tomorrow night without any problems.”

Su Jiu was startled, “Master!”

Letting him come back this time would be a disaster for the entire sect!

Shen Wangchen knew that too.

But if he left Mo Lin outside, who knows how many people he would harm.

It was better to keep him under his nose. Cang Qiansxue was also here, and the two of them would personally supervise him. He wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.

“Master knows what he’s doing.” Shen Wangchen said in a tone that brooked no refusal.

Afraid that Su Jiu would notice something unusual, Shen Wangchen awkwardly changed the subject, “Didn’t you want to see your senior brother? Here’s the back mountain token. Take it. Say whatever you need to say quickly. Come out in a quarter of an hour.”

With that, he handed the jade token to Su Jiu and turned to enter the back hall.

Su Jiu held the token in her hand, her heart heavy.

The thought of Mo Lin coming back made her feel inexplicably panicked.
