The male supporting character was actually myself.

Jiang Mianmian nestled in her mother's arms, sobbing softly, "It's all my fault. I had no sense of caution at all and fell under the spell of the evil cultivator."

If, by some chance, I cannot resist, and I truly become a living puppet who only obeys his commands, then please, Mother, do not stop Father and Brother; you must let them kill me.

My daughter would rather die than be his puppet!

Chapter Thirty-Six: How to Disassemble the System?

Upon hearing this, Madame Chiang could no longer hold back and burst into tears, embracing her daughter.

"Why are you crying?" Father Jiang was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although his cultivation level wasn't high, he had amassed a considerable fortune through business. He was confident in hiring a group of Nascent Soul stage experts. He strode in and comforted his wife and daughter, saying, "There's nothing to cry about."

It's just bad luck that this happened.

Wasn't Lu'er, a former inner disciple of the Qingfeng Sect, also bewitched by evil cultivators?

Mianmian was clever and quick-witted, and discovered it early, preventing a major disaster from happening.

I've already sent people to Hongfu Inn to find Jiang Chen and Bai Yu, the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect's leader. Didn't she leave a specific address for Mianmian? Now that the Qingfeng Sect is involved in this matter, we will absolutely not allow evil cultivators to do as they please!

Jiang Mianmian's older brother came in with a stack of talismans, and while sticking them on the windows, doors, and the bed, he reminded her, "Sister, these were specially made by a talisman master at my request."

They can block your aura, and unless you are a cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, you will definitely not be able to find your whereabouts in a short time.

Do not leave the room for the next few days.

I personally led a team to guard the area, and even prepared the Immortal Binding Rope.

If your mind is controlled by that evil cultivator, he'll tie you up with the Immortal Binding Rope and feed you a Soul-Suppressing Pill, letting you sleep for a few days and nights.

"By then, we believe we will have found a way to resolve the issue of evil cultivation and free you from the control of evil magic."

"What are the cultivation levels of the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect?" Madam Jiang frowned slightly and asked, "Can they defeat evil cultivators? What if they can't subdue them?"

"I've heard that Jiang Chen and Bai Yu are both outstanding young talents in the Tribulation Transcending stage. The Qingfeng Sect has always been ready to intervene whenever there is chaos, and they will not rest until they eliminate evil spirits. This is their principle for engaging in worldly affairs."

So as long as we can hold them off, the Qingfeng Sect will eventually deal with the evil cultivators!

Mr. Jiang glanced at the sky and said, "You stay with our daughter tonight. If anything seems amiss, call for help immediately."

"Mother and sister, sleep peacefully. I will have men surround the boudoir. Unless that evil cultivator Qin Xiuer steps over my corpse, he will not be able to get close to my sister!"

According to her younger sister, although Qin Xiuer's growth rate was astonishing, her cultivation level was not high. At most, she could jump from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage in a day, and she was no match for the many bodyguards.

His evil magic certainly isn't something he can use on just anyone unconditionally, so there's no need to worry.

As night deepened, the Jiang family's suburban manor remained brightly lit.

Guards every five steps and sentries every ten steps, various formations stacked together, and luminous pearls shining brightly, ensuring that no one who tries to approach the manor can escape detection.

On the other side, Jiang Chen, Bai Yu, and others had already received the news and rushed over to guard the area immediately.

"Our target Lu'er is completely ruined after ascending the Execution Platform; our current target has come to her senses and realized the consequences. If none of these things can cause the protagonist's system to backfire, our plan may fall through."

Jiang Chen released his divine sense, controlling every move within a hundred miles, and said to the cat girl, "You've been added to the conquest list; perhaps you can become a backup plan to deliver a fatal blow to him."

"Don't worry, host, I'll definitely make the protagonist suffer!" The cat girl confidently patted her chest and made her promise.

When Qin Xiuer left the city and was about to head towards Jiang Mianmian's location, she discovered that Bai Yu, Chi Ling, and the little cat demon were also nearby!

Moreover, from a distance, the area was brightly lit, giving the impression of being under heavy attack. Any one of the guards had an aura so powerful that they could kill him with a single slap. Not to mention keeping Jiang Mianmian within three meters of him, which was within his automatic attack range, he couldn't even try to get close to the manor area!

"Holy crap..."

Before Qin Xiuer could finish uttering a single curse, she found herself locked onto by dozens of divine senses.

The culprit, Jiang Chen, dressed in white like a fairy, calmly pointed out his hiding place. A group of hired bodyguards and thugs immediately surrounded him, smashing various magical weapons indiscriminately.

"Please stop!" Jiang Mianmian's brother shouted to stop the brawl. He stepped forward and carefully examined Qin Xiuer, who was beaten black and blue and bleeding from the head. He then instructed, "Please keep an eye on this fellow."

The matter of unorthodox cultivators must be personally overseen by the Qingfeng Sect's leader; we cannot allow anyone to die for them.

The others also knew it wasn't worth causing a real death, but since they were hired and paid, they had to put in some effort.

Therefore, he beat the shifty-eyed guy indiscriminately, grabbed him, and immediately brought him to Jiang Chen.

"We must not allow him any chance to get close to Miss Jiang." Jiang Chen had a toothache. He thought that this group of people would just rush up and kill the protagonist, but who knew that none of them were willing to kill him.

If he decides how to deal with the situation, then he can no longer take the life of the other man.

It seems the only option is to break his legs and seal him away!

Just as he was about to step forward with his longsword, his senior sister cast a probing spell on Qin Xiuer, but it was completely ineffective.

Chi Ling chewed on the meatball, her eyes blazing with golden flames. She looked him up and down for a while, then shook her head.

The cat girl wrinkled her nose and sniffed, then transmitted her voice secretly: "Host, please calm down. I can feel that his system energy has decreased. It seems your plan is still going smoothly!"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, sheathed his sword, and revealed a meaningful smile. "The evil cultivator is too cunning, so I specially built a prison for him and will temporarily imprison him there."

Fellow Daoist Jiang need not worry. As long as the evil cultivators stay away, your sister will be safe and sound.

The rest can be handled by our Qingfeng Sect.

Upon hearing this, the Jiang father and son repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

"You're Jiang Chen?" Qin Xiuer, bound hand and foot and with a bruised and swollen face, looked at Bai Yu standing next to him with an affectionate attitude.

Looking at the captivating nine-tailed fox beside him and the cat demon who was clearly very close to him, he felt his blood rush to his head.

I'm clearly the chosen one who transmigrated with a cheat code!

Shouldn't someone like him, with his prestigious background as a senior disciple, be the standard cannon fodder for showing off and getting humiliated?

Why is Bai Yu, who has the appearance of a goddess, acting so intimately with him like a couple?

Why is the nine-tailed fox chatting and laughing with him?

Why does the special boss, the little cat demon, act all cute and affectionate towards him?

I'm clearly the main character!

These are all my targets; they should all be part of my harem!

"You dare to call Jiang Chen that name?" Chi Ling glared at him and sneered, "You're utterly useless, no wonder you went to practice some evil arts."

"If you hadn't learned some evil magic, you little toothpick would never have been able to get a wife in your entire life!"

Qin Xiu's face flushed red and blood rushed to her head. She suffered a double blow to her body and mind, and her whole body trembled so much that she couldn't speak.

Fortunately, she was just joking and didn't lower her favorability rating further.

Otherwise, you'll lose all five credits you have left!

The "Conquer the Beautiful Girls" system doesn't have a Q&A function, and he doesn't know what will happen when his credit points reach zero.

Is it system unbinding?

Or should we take back everything that was originally exchanged?

Or perhaps it's about letting one's soul vanish into nothingness?

Either way, it would be a catastrophe for me!

That's why he's willing to risk everything to take advantage of this great opportunity to boost his favorability rating. He has a string of ticking time bombs, and he needs to at least raise his credit points above the safety line.

Qin Xiuer gritted her teeth in hatred, but dared not utter another word, fearing that one of the beautiful women surrounding Jiang Chen would hold a grudge against her and lower her favorability rating, which would truly be the end for her.

"Dangdang!"

The temporary prison gates were locked, and Jiang Chen sat imposingly in a chair, looking at Qin Xiuer, who resembled a quail, with a wicked smile on his face.

The first time I've openly and closely examined something—the protagonist is alive! The system is definitely there!

He's good at dismantling people, but dismantling a system is a first for him. Where should he even begin?

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Activating the Sacrifice Mode

"Host, your senior sister seems a bit hesitant." The cat girl wagged her tail and munched on a dried fish, transmitting her voice secretly: "She and Chi Ling used all sorts of methods to detect evil cultivators, but they still couldn't find any reaction from the protagonist."

What if the Qingfeng Sect members, like them, think there's insufficient evidence and want to release the protagonist?

Jiang Chen was pondering how to dismantle the system when he casually said, "The major sects will likely be interested in how he jumped from a mortal to the Golden Core stage in just three or four days. As long as we ensure that his system is rendered unusable, Qin Xiuer will definitely be used as a test subject."

"Dissecting the golden core, searching the soul—that should be quite promising."

The kitten girl excitedly twitched her ears, "Then, host, how can we disable his system?"

"The main system only forbids me from killing the protagonist, it didn't say I can't conduct research, right?"

"Such a good test subject, it would be a real shame to kill it; the main system's regulations are sound."

"Yes, as long as you don't intend to kill, it's fine. Feel free to do your research."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

……

The system and the person chatted privately in front of the protagonist, and Qin Xiuer, whose cultivation level was too low, naturally did not notice.

He was curled up in the corner, rubbing his arm that was almost broken from being beaten, feeling indignant but not daring to utter a sound, for fear of angering the catgirl and causing his favorability rating to hit a new low.

Just as Qin Xiuer was racking his brains to think of a way to exonerate himself, the cold iron on the wall suddenly twisted like a snake, binding his hands and feet.

"W-what do you want to do?" He asked in a panic, his voice trembling. "I-I haven't broken the law! You have no evidence that I practice evil arts! You-you are a model of a righteous sect, you can't do whatever you want!"

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples with his right hand and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I'm not like you, someone who likes to cause trouble."

"Ah! Help..." The next second, Qin Xiuer felt a pain in her temples that was worse than being pricked with needles, and immediately screamed.

However, when Jiang Chen drew his right index finger in the air, his lips pressed tightly together and he could no longer open them, only able to let out a low whimper from his throat.

"Strange, where exactly is the system binding located?" Jiang Chen asked the cat girl after trying it out for a while, "How did you bind with me?"

The kitten girl paused slightly while munching on the dried fish, thought for a moment, and then hesitated before saying, "It should be a spiritual contract, but I don't really know. It's like how I can play games on my phone but don't understand how it works."

Binding to the host is instinctive; I'm not sure exactly where it's bound.

What's wrong, Master?

Is progressing poorly?

He rubbed his temples and shook his head, saying, "The soul-searching technique has been used. I don't know if it's a protective measure for transmigrators, but his soul memories only include the original owner's memories and the protagonist's experiences after transmigrating."

Qin Xiuer's memories from before her time travel are completely unrecognizable.
