Terraria: The Digitalized Me Is Causing Chaos

In a quaint, antique room, the air was thick with the aroma of chicken soup. Sunlight streamed through the window, landing on Linghu Chong, yet he felt no warmth, only a chilling sensation that reached the depths of his heart.

Linghu Chong lay listlessly on the bed, his eyes vacant, staring at the ceiling without moving. Only the rise and fall of his chest proved he was still alive.

If one were closer, they could hear his unconscious murmuring: "This is impossible… This is impossible…"

Unbeknownst to him, Yue Lingshan, after leaving the room, spotted her parents standing not far away and skipped towards them with a cheerful gait.

"Dad, you wouldn't believe how silly Senior Brother looked! I almost died laughing. I have a feeling Senior Brother won't dare to drink again after this."

Yue Buqun frowned slightly, gently scolding his precious daughter, "Shan'er, don't be so loud. If your Senior Brother finds out, all our efforts will be for naught."

Yang Tao opened his eyes from meditation, looking at Yue Buqun with a smile. "Alright, I feel like it's about time. We won't need the second plan."

"I'm afraid Senior Brother won't be able to handle it and will just go crazy."

Yue Buqun's expression turned somewhat unpleasant when he thought of the second plan Yang Tao mentioned, as he was an important member of that plan.

The plan was to have Lu Dayou go in and say that Yue Buqun had been angered and his heart attacked because Linghu Chong was drinking, and he was seriously injured. The news was learned by members of the Demonic Cult, who took the opportunity to attack Mount Hua, causing heavy casualties among the martial brothers. Even Yue Buqun was seriously injured and died, leaving only Ning Zhongze to struggle and barely hold on.

However, the kind-hearted Yang Tao didn't initiate this plan, lest Linghu Chong truly couldn't bear it and suffer a mental breakdown, which would outweigh the benefits.

"Master, now we just need to make Senior Brother pass out again."

Yue Buqun nodded gently and leaped, landing outside the door of Linghu Chong's room. With a flick of his finger, a fragrant pill shot into the room.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Yue Buqun strode into the room.

Yang Tao and the others followed suit. Upon entering the room, they saw Linghu Chong lying on the bed, his face pale, his eyes tightly closed, clearly unconscious again.

Yue Buqun stepped forward and released Linghu Chong's sealed internal energy.

"Master, leave the rest to me. I'll take him back to my room. When he wakes up, he'll only feel like everything that just happened was a dream…"

At this point, a genuine smile appeared on Yang Tao's face, and he said emphatically, "…an incredibly real dream…"

After saying that, he directly picked up Linghu Chong, who was lying on the bed, and left, heading towards his own room.

Leaving behind Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, and Lu Dayou, Ning Zhongze watched Yang Tao's figure disappear from sight, her eyes filled with worry before she looked at Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun knew what Ning Zhongze wanted to say, but he gently shook his head.

"Shan'er, Dayou, you two should leave first. Remember, don't let Chong'er know about what happened today, or he will definitely cause trouble for Junior Brother."

He might not drink anymore, but he felt that after Chong'er learned the truth, he would never let Yang Tao off easily. Even a beating would be a good thing.

However, Yue Buqun was overthinking it. Knowing that Yang Tao could pull out bombs from all over his body, Linghu Chong would definitely not be so impulsive.

"Understood."

Yue Lingshan couldn't help but want to laugh when she remembered the way Senior Brother had looked at her big belly earlier.

"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving first. I need to fix my hairstyle, or people will laugh at me for sure when they see it."

With that, Yue Lingshan cheerfully walked out of the room. Lu Dayou, leading his monkey, bowed to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, and also turned to leave.

"Senior Brother…"

Yue Buqun's face was expressionless at the moment. He raised his hand to interrupt Ning Zhongze, saying, "Tao'er is different from everyone else, Junior Sister. I always feel like he's like the wind, giving me the feeling that he could leave at any time."

"Regardless of his mind or his aptitude, he is top-notch. If he and Chong'er had entered the sect at the same time, I would have definitely groomed him to be the new Mount Hua Sect Leader."

"Now, we can only take it one step at a time. I hope he can change Chong'er's naive personality. I can feel that he is sincerely doing it for Chong'er's own good."

Ning Zhongze nodded with a somewhat complicated expression.

… …

Back in his room, Yang Tao placed Linghu Chong on the bed. Seeing the undissipated sorrow on Linghu Chong's face as he remained unconscious, the smile on Yang Tao's face became even brighter.

"Linghu Chong, oh Linghu Chong, I've really racked my brains for you."

After speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate his internal energy. Cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat.

Time passed, and finally, Linghu Chong let out a slightly painful groan. Yang Tao quickly moved closer, handily grabbing the warm water he had prepared in his backpack.

"Senior Brother, you're finally awake."

Hearing this familiar voice, Linghu Chong immediately remembered what had just happened. His originally dazed eyes instantly cleared up.

He looked at Yang Tao with disbelief and asked, "Junior Brother?? Aren't you dead?"

Hearing this, Yang Tao immediately put on an actor's persona, putting down the warm water, his face darkened, and his voice filled with grievance as he said, "Senior Brother, although I am just a lowly Junior Brother, is it a bit too much for you to curse me like that??"

Linghu Chong's limited brainpower instantly couldn't process it. Seeing Yang Tao's aggrieved expression, he quickly said, "Junior Brother, Junior Brother, listen to my explanation, I didn't mean that."

Yang Tao had an expression that said, 'I'm listening.'

"I clearly remember just now that I was talking to your Junior Sister, and she said that I had been unconscious for two years, and you were also attacked and killed by people from the Demonic Cult, and I also lost all my internal energy…"

Then, Linghu Chong froze, feeling the ceaseless flow of internal energy in his body, and lowered his head, muttering, "Could it be that everything just now was a dream? But wasn't the dream too real?"

Seeing Linghu Chong's expression, Yang Tao's lips curled up slightly, and then he said, "What Junior Sister? Senior Brother, yesterday when we went down the mountain, you drank too much, and I carried you back. It exhausted me."

"And to avoid Master discovering that you were drinking, I specially brought you back to my room. You only woke up after a day."

Hearing Yang Tao's words, Linghu Chong's eyes filled with excitement. The moment he thought of the news of Junior Sister getting married, he felt a pang of heartbreak, and he felt guilty about Yang Tao being killed because of his drunkenness.

If everything in the dream was real, then he would definitely rather be dead.

At this time, seeing Linghu Chong's expression, Yang Tao's mouth curved up slightly, and then he said, "Senior Brother, get up quickly, it's almost noon, I've already prepared the food, get up and have a bite."

Then, he pretended to be mysterious and whispered, "Senior Brother, I know you like to drink. Yesterday, I also bought two jars at the restaurant. We'll continue to drink some later."

Hearing about drinking, Linghu Chong subconsciously shuddered, and the image of Junior Sister with a big belly automatically appeared in his mind. He immediately said, "Junior Brother, I suddenly feel that Master is right. As the Senior Brother of the Mount Hua Sect, I must set an example and not spend my days drinking and making merry."

"Today I have decided that from now on, I will definitely study hard and practice diligently, and not betray Master's teachings."

Linghu Chong felt that between wine and Junior Sister, Junior Sister was more appealing.
