The male supporting character was actually myself.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. The script didn't mention that the protagonist would harm a respectable young girl and cause her death.

It's true that the storyline was disrupted after Qin Xiuer didn't die, but the storyline of Qin Xiuer meeting Lu'er in the early stages still proceeded as originally planned.

Ha, so ordinary people have no human rights?

They were harmed but didn't even deserve a name in the story?

The group squeezed through the crowd and entered the inn where a funeral was being held.

"I'm so sorry, my daughter has passed away and we are currently holding a funeral. We are unable to accommodate you, venerable masters, for the night," the innkeeper said apologetically, his voice hoarse and his eyes red as he saw them enter.

Ever since the day the two masters came to stay at the hotel, and my daughter, as if possessed, scared them away, she has been sitting there in a daze. Later, she went upstairs to clean the room herself, and when she came down, her daughter was nowhere to be found.

The entire town searched for two days before finally finding her body downstream.

The innkeeper was heartbroken whenever he thought about it. Unfortunately, he was of humble origin and could not fulfill his daughter's dream of cultivation. Seeing his master fly away on a sword, she was so distraught!

“Girl, since you are such a persistent spirit, you must have some unfulfilled wish.”

Bai Yu immediately spotted Zhang Xiaoyu sitting on the coffin in the hall. She had transformed into a water ghost, her whole body soaking wet, staring blankly into the void with no expression on her face.

Hearing her speak, Zhang Xiaoyu belatedly turned her wet face away, brushing the strands of hair sticking to her face, and murmured to herself, "Ah Liang said that I can't cultivate in this life. I should reincarnate as soon as possible, so that I can cultivate in the next life and be with him..."

When the innkeeper and his wife saw the ethereal-looking master speaking to the coffin, they immediately realized that their daughter's spirit was still lingering there. Overwhelmed with grief, the couple cried out in despair.

The little white cat and Chi Ling rushed forward to help him up and gently comforted him.

The neighbors outside the inn immediately fell silent, afraid of disturbing the spirit of the deceased.

"Please take a moment, and tell us the details about Xiaoyu." Jiang Chen comforted her, "At this moment, her spirit is still bewitched. She is unwilling to be reincarnated and cannot wander around like this all day long, otherwise she will eventually become a vengeful ghost or disappear completely."

If we can figure out what happened, perhaps we can be of some help.

"Here's what happened..." The innkeeper couldn't wait to tell him everything he knew.

Bai Yu's expression grew even more solemn after hearing this, and he secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Judging from what the boss described, the one with that evil cultivator seems to be Lu'er?"

"It should be her." Jiang Chen clenched his fist.

When I first read the script, I thought there were plenty of protagonists who built harems.

Even if he, like some protagonists, is surrounded by beautiful women, as long as he can properly arrange things to eventually become the Heavenly Emperor and lead all the beauties to ascend to heaven, it can be considered that everyone gets what they need and it has nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, his rise to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor began in this way.

He used innocent girls as stepping stones, then abandoned them after using them to manipulate and kill Zhang Xiaoyu, causing her to drown.

Who knows how many more sordid things will happen that weren't written in the script!

We must find a way to stop him from harming more people as soon as possible!

“Girl, that’s an evil cultivator!” After Bai Yu guided Zhang Xiaoyu to fill in the whole story, he said with great distress, “You haven’t even repaid the kindness of your parents in raising and protecting you. How can you risk your life for a man who suddenly appears?”

Those who cultivate themselves often possess the ability to read minds. They can discover secrets that you believe no one knows and use them to deceive you.

Wake up! He's not your dream lover, and you're not a fairy reincarnated.

The laws of Heaven are strict; under normal circumstances, when a cultivator dies, their body and soul perish, and they cannot be reincarnated without special opportunities.

Ordinary people are unable to cultivate, but the impartial Heaven allows them to become ghosts after death and enter the cycle of reincarnation to encounter life again…

Despite her earnest advice, Zhang Xiaoyu, whose identity had been officially confirmed by the system, showed no remorse whatsoever, just like those deeply poisoned by PUA.

"Senior sister, she's still under the control of evil magic. What you're saying is useless." Jiang Chen advised, "Why don't we take her with us for now? Once we find a way to get rid of that evil cultivator, she'll naturally regain her normal mind."

He then explained to Zhang Xiaoyu's parents, "There is still a glimmer of hope for her. Please take care of yourselves and do not grieve too much."

Once we eliminate the evil cultivators, perhaps we can help her find a path of cultivation, and we'll have the chance to meet again in the future.

"Really?" Upon hearing that there was still a chance to see the child again, the innkeeper grasped at the last straw, pulling his already dazed wife down to kneel before them and kowtow repeatedly, "Please, Master, help us! Please, Master, have mercy!"

After finally persuading them, Bai Yu left some silver to help them get by. He learned that the evil cultivator had left that day saying he was going to White Elephant City. After finding out the direction, he flew away on his sword and quickly chased after him.

"I knew something was wrong!" After hearing their purpose, the city lord of White Elephant City slapped his thigh in regret. "But my daughter is controlled by evil magic. She's threatening to kill herself if she's not allowed to marry that evil cultivator."

If a cultivator truly seeks death, he will surely perish, both physically and spiritually.

I thought, it's just marriage, even if I'm deceived, it's just a small hurdle on the path of cultivation, better than losing my life."

Yang Qianqian pushed open the door and came in, looking puzzled. "What evil cultivator? Father, what are you talking about?"

After listening to Bai Yu's earnest explanation, she smiled confidently and said with her head held high, "I love him as a person, nothing else matters."

Regardless of his relationship with that woman named Lu'er, he married me, and we were deeply in love on our wedding night. Even before he left to pursue the Great Dao, he asked me if I wanted to come along.

I rejected him.

I don't care about any heretical practices or evil arts.

I love him; and he loves me too, that's enough.

Even if I end up alone in my empty room, I would be willing to accept the brief moments of affection we shared.

The kitten girl was dumbfounded; this brainwashing effect was incredibly strong!

Chi Ling had absolutely no interest in this matter. What love, evil arts, or wicked cultivation could compare to the deliciousness of meatballs? How could she get a few more from Jiang Chen? Should she really acknowledge him as her master?

Jiang Chen sighed.

How is her situation any different from those people in the news who, after being scammed by telecom fraud, still confidently claim that they are willing to be scammed and can give their money to whomever they want, while complaining that the police are making a fuss?

Once they realized what had happened, they would cry and beg the police to help them get their money back.

The city lord sighed repeatedly as he looked at his stubborn daughter.

"Aren't you looking for Xiulang? If you find him, please let me know. I will wait for him to come back." Yang Qianqian took out a map from her storage ring and spread it out.

The figures, scenery, and even plants on the screen come to life, making it feel like a miniature, wondrous world.

She made hand seals and chanted incantations. A few breaths later, a red line shot out from the ring finger of her left hand, pointing directly to a huge city far away from White Elephant City. The map gradually zoomed in, and Jiang Chen could clearly see a name on the building—Beast Taming Pavilion!

"Since you've planted a seed of affection in Qin Xiuer, if you ever feel remorse and want revenge, just come find me." Jiang Chen, fearing the protagonist would run away again, hurriedly took his leave.

He handed Chi Ling two Xuanling Pills and said in a deep voice, "Get to Yunyan City as quickly as possible."

It's only been four days since Qin Xiuer entered the mission world, and she has already successfully won over three girls. This troublemaker is moving too fast!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Tough Nuts to Crack

Yunyan City is located at the border of the most remote Duanlong State, which is far from the Desolate State and the Thirteen States.

It is flanked by rolling mountains, bearing the responsibilities of operating the thirteen states and the four seas and eight wastelands. Therefore, the city is huge and has a large number of people coming and going, making it very prosperous.

As they approached the city, the jade slip communication became more effective. Jiang Chen and Bai Yu simultaneously received a message personally delivered by their master—Lu'er had broken the seal without permission and deliberately released a ferocious beast to harm the world. She had been expelled from the sect, and an iron-blooded order had been issued to arrest her.

"It's her!" Bai Yu was extremely shocked.

Although she disliked Lu'er's personality, she never imagined that the delicate, innocent girl could be so ruthless, plotting for so long to break the seal and let the ferocious beast wreak havoc on the cultivation world!

Although... Bai Yu glanced at Chi Ling behind her, who was happily eating a skewer of candied hawthorns—she had not done anything wrong at the moment.

But that cannot undo Lu'er's ill intentions.

"Such a vicious mind! When you see her senior sister, don't hold back!" Jiang Chen was furious.

The script didn't explain the reason, and I always thought that Chi Ling's sudden breakout from the seal was just a plot device to kill me and give the protagonist a beautiful female henchman.

I never imagined I'd been tricked by that scheming bitch!

With both old and new grudges, we must wipe them out in one fell swoop this time and not let Qin Xiuer and Lu'er have any chance to escape!

"Junior Brother Chen, where should we begin?" Bai Yu had never encountered this kind of evil magic before. He couldn't indiscriminately kill innocent people, and he couldn't think of a better way, so he asked at a loss.

Jiang Chen's script was no longer of any value for reference, so after much deliberation, she decided to take a hard line.

"Senior sister, please calm down. We need to find him out of this city first."

………………

The Yuelai Inn is located just one street away from the Beast Taming Pavilion.

Lulu, whose appearance had been transformed by a spell, was restless.

Yesterday morning, before dawn, after leaving White Elephant City, Brother Xiu seemed to be chasing something and hurriedly arrived at Cloud Smoke City.

I originally thought that if I went any further, I would reach the territory of the Thirteen States, and my identity as a disciple of the Qingfeng Sect would be even more useful.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that someone was chasing him!

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and used a spell to change her appearance immediately, but she was still uneasy.

Lu'er just couldn't understand who those people were.

And why is he carrying his own portrait while chasing after people?

Could it be that Yang Qianqian has realized she's been deceived?

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Lu'er carefully maintained her altered appearance and hid in the inn, afraid to go out.

I thought Brother Xiu would be a little nervous for me, since his cultivation level of just reaching the Golden Core stage is really not enough, and he would need my help if he encountered a dangerous situation.

Unexpectedly, he was only intrigued by his new appearance and, after having his fill of it, went out for a stroll again.

He said he wanted to find a reliable beast tamer to hatch the Nightmare Beast egg, train it, and give it to him.

From his absent-minded description, Kelu boldly guessed that he had another girl he had his eye on!

"Sigh..." she sighed anxiously in her room.

Then Lu'er took out her compass and glanced at it. Unexpectedly, the bright spot of her senior brother was flashing not far from her!

"Our senior brother has come to Yunyan City too! That's great!"

She jumped up with joy and hurriedly rummaged through drawers and cabinets looking for something useful. She decided to take advantage of Xiu-gege's absence to go find her senior brother and play the victim.

Maybe he can help me catch all those guys who are chasing me...

"Miss Mianmian is truly skillful." Qin Xiuer, who had become dashing and debonair through stat-boosting, was leaning over a table, only a dozen centimeters away from a beautiful woman who was carefully tending to a beast egg. He could smell her faint fragrance with every breath.

Beast Tamer Jiang Mianmian looked up at him, smiled shyly, and stepped back to keep her distance.

Qin Xiuer's smile remained unchanged, but she was getting impatient inside. "Damn it! It's only five-star difficulty, and it's already this hard to get started?"

After adding the God of Night Clear to the deluxe package that day, he chased after her with Lu'er all the way.

However, the gap in strength was too great. For him, who was only at the Golden Core stage and could barely fly on a sword, to catch up with a High God was as unrealistic as someone who had just learned to ride a bicycle trying to catch up with a speeding sports car.
