2 Chapter 2: Zither Heart and Sword Spirit Chu Youwei_1

Just at the moment when he held the ice silk socks of the beautiful Master, which still carried a strand of warm body temperature.

Lin Xiao, as if possessed, brought it close, taking a careful look.

A warm and gentle fragrance instantly assaulted his senses.

"Ah... is this the body scent of the number one fairy in the Eastern Region?"

Lin Xiao's heart beat faster.

At the same time.

In his mind, the image of his Master's pair of white slender legs appeared without his control.

In an instant, it seemed like he... somewhat understood the original Lin Xiao?

Bah!

Understand my ass!

A scumbag remains a scumbag!

This kind of perverted hobby, truly shameless!

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host! The current plotline is completed!"

"You have received a reward: a 30% increase in physical potential, a 30% increase in Immortal Fate Realization, and your [Lower Grade Wood Spirit Root] has automatically evolved into [Innate Yimu Spiritual Root]!"

When Lin Xiao was lost in thought, a prompt from the system rang inside his head!

Following that, a mysterious spiritual cyclone rose from his Dantian, spreading to all parts of his body, refining his physique!

In an instant.

Lin Xiao could clearly feel!

His mind was exceptionally clear, all of his body's acupoints were open, and his physical body's compatibility with the surrounding Spiritual Energy had reached a pinnacle!

This feeling...

Indescribably wonderful!

"Isn't it said that after completing a character's ending, I would immediately get the final reward and ascend to immortality? Why are there rewards during the process?"

"Don't tell me? They don't want me to reverse my fate and outshine the protagonist, do they?"

"System, come out and explain!"

Lin Xiao called out anxiously in his mind.

Ding!

"Hello, host! This system is a derivative of the world's Dao, well-made, with a rich internal structure, and a myriad of surprises and unknown features waiting for your exploration~~╰(￣▽￣)"

The system immediately replied.

Damn!

It spoke as if it has said nothing!

Lin Xiao was speechless in his mind.

But it's okay since the plot has been accomplished. Now all he needs to do is wait for Ye Chen, the main character, to show up and slap his face tomorrow at noon!

"Before that, I should stay in character and help my beautiful Master with her plants!"

With this thought in mind, Lin Xiao left his room, used his Wind Blade Technique, and began clearing away the surrounding weeds.

While Lin Xiao was engrossed in trimming the plants.

Inside the bedroom on the bed.

Behind the screen, a white and slender leg peeked out from behind...

"Xiao'er, since you have such feelings for your Master, why not express it earlier?"

"As long as you like it, not only a pair of socks, but also...."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something.

Xiao Hongling lowered her eyelashes, her beautiful face flushed with a tinge of red.

"Forget it, forget it, I, as your Master, have already seen the future. From now on, I will do my best to train you into an Immortal Emperor! As for that despicable Ye Chen..."

"Tomorrow is the day when that man named Ye Chen joins the sect! You can rest assured! I will make this trash wish he was dead!"

"What does the 'Son of Destiny' count as? In Xiao Hongling's eyes, the only perfect man in this world is you, Xiao'er!"

...

Upon returning from Heavenly Maiden Peak.

Lin Xiao went to the Sword Dance Square, lectured a few junior disciples for show, and when passing by the junior sisters' bathhouse, he conveniently installed a Photo Stone.

He was diligently performing the duties of a villain.

After all, these were all done to restore his character for the upcoming dramatic plot!

However, what he didn't expect was!

After a period of idleness, he once again received a system reward, Endowment +1, Spiritual Root +2!

This is just fucking ridiculous!

But it doesn't matter anymore.

All Lin Xiao wanted to do was to finish the plot, get his rewards, and go home!

The night quickly came.

Lin Xiao returned to the senior disciples' dormitory, took a hot bath, laid on the bed, and was about to rest early when—

A gentle girl's voice came from outside: "Eldest Senior Brother, have you rested?"

"Hmm?"

"Third Junior Sister? Why is she looking for me this late?"

Lin Xiao bolted upright in bed!

Main character Ye Chen was due to arrive tomorrow, and the plot in the book didn't involve her coming to find me during the night!

Lin Xiao was torn, hesitating whether to respond or not.

After playing the villain for so many years, he finally sees the arrival of the main character, and he doesn't want the plot to deviate at such a critical moment!

"Third Junior Sister Chu Youwei, possessing the Zither Heart and Sword Spirit, proficient in the way of the zither and sword, with a gentle and kind personality, is as pure as a blank sheet of paper."

"In the original story, although Chu Youwei was taken advantage of by Lin Xiao many times, she never truly despised him. Even when Lin Xiao's reputation was ruined and the protagonist, Ye Chen, held him captive in the forbidden area of the back mountain, the other two junior sisters couldn't wait to kill him. Yet, she was the only one who would still plead for him."

"In her eyes, whether Lin Xiao was lustful or cowardly, he was always the caring and attentive Eldest Senior Brother from their childhood."

"Her character, in the words of my previous life, would be the definition of a 'hidden gem'."

"Well, after being slapped in the face by Ye Chen tomorrow, I will no longer be the glorious Eldest Senior Brother in her eyes. Perhaps, I should see her one last time."

After some contemplation, Lin Xiao finally got up and opened the door.

What appeared before him was a beautiful young girl wearing a green long skirt and carrying an ancient zither on her back.

"Ah, Weiwei, you've grown taller since I saw you last. Come, let your Eldest Senior Brother check your health."

Lin Xiao labored to squeeze out a sleazy smile, and his hand, with practiced ease, slid towards his junior sister's slender waist.

After playing the villain for over a decade, his acting skills had become flawless.

Even seeing this lascivious face himself made him want to punch it!

However, what Lin Xiao hadn't expected at all was...

Chu Youwei didn't react like a startled deer and dodge him this time, but...

She shifted her waist, as if leaning towards him on her own volition!

Lin Xiao's heart jolted, and he quickly stepped back as if electrocuted!

According to the original storyline, Chu Youwei's cultivation level and movement technique had both surpassed his. Every time he tried to take advantage of her, she could always dodge in time!

But this time, not only did she lean forward willingly, but her fair face also displayed a hint of crimson.

A look of both enjoyment and shyness!

"Something's wrong!"

"This girl... something's very wrong with her!"

Lin Xiao felt his scalp prickle with unease!

Yet, to his surprise!

The next moment, Chu Youwei willingly took his arm!

"Eldest Senior Brother, could you help Weiwei with a small matter?" The young girl gazed up at him, her cheeks flushed.

"What... What is it?" Lin Xiao's eyebrows jumped.

At this moment, he was truly panicked!

What he feared the most was any deviation in the plotline!

"Well, Eldest Senior Brother... "

Chu Youwei set down the ancient zither behind her and spoke softly, "Yesterday when practicing Heavenly Sound Skill, I accidentally broke a string on this Thousand Feathered Zither. So, I plan to go to Red Wind City at the base of the mountain early tomorrow to find a refining master to fix it…"

"Since I am not familiar with the city, I wanted to ask you... Eldest Senior Brother to accompany Weiwei. Is that... okay?"

At her final words, her lips formed a small pout, her beautiful eyes gleaming, and a hint of coyness emerged!

This sight made Lin Xiao's heart jolt!

He could hardly believe that his usually cautious and dignified Third Junior Sister, whom had always been wary of him, would now be holding his arm and acting coyly!

"I can, but we must do it another day. I have important matters to attend to tomorrow."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao gave a firm reply.

What a joke!

Tomorrow he had to be smacked in the face by the protagonist, Ye Chen!

"Oh, okay…"

Chu Youwei's eyes dimmed slightly, and she seemed to want to say something else.

But Lin Xiao had already closed the door and dismissed her: "It's getting late, Junior Sister. You should go back and rest early. Don't miss tomorrow's early lesson."

...

In his room.

Lin Xiao lay in bed, feeling a wave of fear!

The character setting of Third Junior Sister was off!

This side story about fixing the zither was never mentioned in the original book!

Let's think about it.

If Chu Youwei really came to Lin Xiao in the middle of the night to fix the zither in the original work, given the latter's lustful nature, he would surely agree without hesitation!

If he had gone to Red Wind City, he would just miss Ye Chen, who was coming to pay his respects, and the first showdown would be forfeited!

"But having said that."

"I took a close look at Chu Youwei's Thousand Feathered Zither just now, and indeed, one of the strings was broken."

"You should know, in the original story, this Thousand Feathered Zither was a relic left by her mother. She cherished it so much, how could it suddenly break?"

"Ah, I can't figure it out."

"I hope everything goes well tomorrow."

"Ye Chen, you better do not disappoint me tomorrow, don't waste your chance!"

Lin Xiao prayed in his heart.

...

At the same time.

Chu Youwei, who had left Lin Xiao's residence, touched the broken string of the zither and murmured:

"Eldest Senior Brother, Weiwei originally thought that this zither was the most important thing in my life."

"Until one day, when I saw the visions of the future in my mind, Weiwei suddenly realized that the one who truly..."

"...treated me well was you, Eldest Senior Brother!"

"The reason Weiwei intentionally broke the string was to get you away from this place of strife! Do you know, according to that script, the demon called Ye Chen will come looking for you tomorrow."

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.

In her autumn water-like eyes, a killing intent gradually condensed:

"No! We must strike first to gain the upper hand! We absolutely cannot let Eldest Senior Brother be ruined by Ye Chen tomorrow!"
