Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Bai Yuan didn't give Ye Shuang'er much time to think before continuing to drop the bombshell news:

"To my left, behind the third stone brick from the top, is a prescription and a box of herbs. They are meant to refine the poison in your body and eliminate the side effects of 'Gu Ling Du Bu'. However, we're still missing a few key ingredients.

"I originally planned to gather all the herbs and personally hand it over to you on the day you turned 18, but now it seems... it seems that there is no need to go through so much trouble."

——This is a lie.

In reality, this recipe was intended for Blood Kite to remove Ye Shuang'er's poisonous body and implant it in himself, but he never got to use it until his death in battle. Later, this recipe fell into the hands of a player, and after being researched and modified by several alchemists from the Changsheng Pavilion, it became a recipe that could truly refine the "Gu Ling Poison Body," helping Ye Shuang'er achieve a leap in strength.

If you look at it from this angle...

Bai Yuan wasn't completely talking nonsense.

Just when she was about to continue to confuse right and wrong and play the emotional card.

A voice suddenly appeared in her ears:

【Well done, host! 】

[Your words have shaken Ye Shuang'er's murderous intent. Her survival rate has increased to 10%. Please keep up the good work and complete your goal of clearing your name!]

"...?"

system?

When did it come?

[Hehe, this system arrived a long time ago, but because the host's survival rate has been below 5%, it didn't bind immediately... Oh, no, it's because the loading progress hasn't been completed yet, so I couldn't meet the host right away. Please forgive me~ (づ。???。)づ]

(What use are you...?)

Bai Yuan asked silently in his heart.

This system, called the "Villain Cleansing System," is specifically designed to help villains like the host escape despair and alienation. As long as the host consistently cleanses their own misdeeds in daily life and creates positive emotions in those around them, they will gain a certain amount of emotional value, which will allow them to enter a lucky bag draw in the system mall.

Current Fluctuation Value: 100

[Exchangeable: Small Lucky Bag × 1]

(Lottery? Can that restore my cultivation to its original state?)

[This... is possible.]

(possible?)

[Host, you may have heard the old saying, "Whitewashing makes you three points weaker." This system is called the "Whitewashing System," so its strength is a little... weak, and it can't provide much support to the host...]

"?"

No, isn’t this how “whitewashing and weakening three points” is understood?

Isn't this system a waste?

[Of course not! This system also has an additional function, which is to provide the host with a 24-hour chat service, never leaving and providing sufficient emotional value! ]

"..."

Emotional value, that crap still needs you to provide it? Isn't it more practical for me to glue myself to these jade feet than to chat with you?

Bai Yuan sighed inwardly, her expectations were already low. However, she really didn't have any other options now. She could only press the lottery button, thinking, "If it's any use, it's better than nothing."

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the whitewashing item: a heartfelt letter (automatically generated by the system AI, a nostalgic letter specifically targeting Ye Shuang'er, can be delivered to the host's designated location)]

……

opposite.

Ye Shuang'er hesitated for several times, but curiosity finally got the better of her. She carefully walked a few steps to the side of the stone chamber, first explored it with her spiritual power, and then used the scabbard of the sword instead of her palm to tap lightly on the stone bricks.

The sound is crisp and clear.

Ye Shuang'er poured her spiritual power into the sword and swung it lightly.

The sword energy shattered the stone bricks, revealing a square ice jade box. Inside was a pile of rare and precious medicinal herbs. On top lay a stack of white paper, shrouded in a chill, with beautifully written small characters on it. For a cultivator, this was clear without even having to lift the paper.

[Shuang'er, it's nice to see you in person.]

[By the time you see this letter, I should be dead...]

Almost as soon as the first word caught my eye.

Ye Shuang'er's vision was dazed for a moment, and countless images emerged in her mind, as if she was suddenly pulled back to more than ten years ago -

Chapter 3 This is a sure thing!

Scene 1.

It was a little girl with pigtails and slightly chubby cheeks, who was struggling to crawl out of the cellar and was crying loudly in front of the corpses of her parents.

Next to her is a red village.

blood.

There was blood everywhere.

A thick, dark red liquid slowly flowed along the village path. The once bustling and peaceful village had suddenly become a scene of corpses, a living hell. The bandits responsible for this scene were robbing the village of property and women, their steel knives stained red, dripping blood onto the ground.

Someone noticed the crying sound here and called out to the surroundings. Immediately, several people surrounded them. The leader had a hideous face and a scar on his forehead that almost divided his face in two.

"Boss, there's another one here!"

"Hey, her face looks pretty good, but a little young. Take her back first and wait for the boss to decide whether to sell her to a brothel or keep her for the brothers to enjoy..."

The obscene words turned into a huge shadow, wrapping the little girl layer by layer.

She closed her eyes in despair, her nose twitched, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she had foreseen a future more miserable than death.

at this time.

The bandits' hideous laughter abruptly ceased, and the sounds of wind, leaves, and breathing all froze at that moment. The little girl opened her tearful eyes and saw a woman in green stepping over corpses, approaching her. Her long black hair flowed freely, and her cold eyes held an indescribable aura that instantly captivated the little girl.

"Is the reason for the Gu insect's unusual movements here... It seems like a good consumable."

——This sentence is a bit vague and has been muted.

next moment.

The woman stretched out her hand, opened her red lips, and said in a very gentle voice, "Come with me, child."

"W-where?"

"go home."

"……Home?"

"Well, a home where there is no more sorrow and pain..."

……

The scene changes.

The little girl, who had finished bathing and changed into clean clothes, came to the main hall timidly and looked at the woman who was practicing qigong and calming her breath in the hall from afar.

The latter slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the door with the corner of his eye, and then waved: "Are you done washing? Then come over."

"Oh……"

The little girl ran over and was forced to sit on a mat by the woman. She combed her hair and bandaged the small wound on her arm. The warm, soft touch of her slender fingers made the little girl feel a long-lost warmth, just like when her parents were still alive.

"What's your name?"

"Ye, Ye Shuang'er..."

"Shuang'er... a nice name."

The woman's breath was as sweet as orchid. "I'm sorry, I was too late to save your parents from those bandits. But the dead are gone, and the living remain. From now on, you will stay by my side as my attendant disciple. As long as I am still breathing, I will do my utmost to protect you and prevent you from coming to any harm."

The words filled with sincerity made the young Ye Shuang'er tremble, and a different emotion spread in her heart.

……

The screen changes again.

……

From the very beginning, Blood Kite had exploited Ye Shuang'er. If it weren't for the "Poisonous Gu Spirit Body," Ye Shuang'er would have died the same month she was brought back. So, while it's not to say there weren't any tender moments between master and disciple, they certainly weren't many.

However, the system couldn't help but gather together all the scattered and fragmented memories over the years, and even added some AI creation elements.

Seven parts true and three parts false, the lethality is the most significant.

Ye Shuang'er's murderous intent began to waver violently after she had only read half of the letter.

Although she didn't say a word, her chest that began to rise and fall violently, and her fingertips that turned white from pinching too hard, all showed that the girl was in a dilemma over whether to continue the assassination.

[Volatility +300]

Bai Yuan looked at the words that flashed before her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and praised the system in her heart:

(I didn't expect that a little loser like you could be of some use.)

[Hehe, I've already said this system isn't useless. The host's current survival rate has increased to 40%, all thanks to this system! ヽ(≧□≦)ノ]

[The nostalgia is still taking effect. As long as the survival rate rises above 50%, the host will be out of danger... Hey, why is it dropping again? 35%, 30%... No, why is that?! Oh no! Host, think of a solution quickly! Ahhhh!]

In just ten seconds, the system started crying like a child.

Bai Yuan felt tired for a moment, but then she felt several auras of varying strengths coming to the outside of the secret room - to be precise, outside her cave, and shouting something.

It's too far away and I can't hear it clearly.

The Hidden Moon Sect, where the "Blood Kite Demon Lord" resides, is one of the six sects of the demonic path. Originally a weakling, it has steadily risen in prominence since "Blood Kite" assumed the helm. However, his predecessor was aloof and suspicious, disliking socializing. Therefore, most sect affairs are handled by a few elders, who only occasionally report on major events.

now.

It seems that the elder of the alchemy workshop noticed something unusual about the medicine soup and came over to check the situation.

Ye Shuang'er naturally noticed these movements, her eyes became sharp again, and her five fingers tightly gripped the hilt of the sword. The murderous intent that had been wavering solidified again!

Just a second before Ye Shuang'er thrust out her sword!

Bai Yuan suddenly took a deep breath, puffed out her chest, and proactively thrust her body towards the sword tip. The sharp sword pierced the left side of her chest. Blood splattered in all directions with the sound of flesh tearing, splashing onto the back of Ye Shuang'er's hand and cheek!

——Distant water cannot quench nearby fire. Regardless of whether those elders had any intention of saving her, even if they did, Ye Shuang'er would have killed her eight or ten times before they showed up.

Plan for today...

Just take a big gamble!

"?!"

Ye Shuang'er's pupils suddenly shrank.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath, and under Ye Shuang'er's astonished gaze, he pressed the mechanism beside him with some difficulty, opened the secret door behind him, and said in a trembling voice, "Shuang'er, take the medicine box and go!"

"My injuries are serious and difficult to recover. I am no longer able to protect you. Our promise ends here. The road ahead... you have to walk alone."

"!!"

The force at the other end of the sword suddenly weakened.

Bai Yuan's body didn't have much strength to begin with. As the hilt of the sword lost its support, she couldn't hold the tip of the sword in her hand and simply let the sword fall, pulling at her wound and causing her to go black in pain.

but……

At this moment, a system prompt flashed before her eyes:

【Volatility value +700! 】

(…This is a sure thing!)

Chapter 4 Anklets, White Silk and Bras

Dang clang——

The sound of the long sword falling to the ground.

Bai Yuan's body fell weakly onto the icy jade bed like a fallen leaf.

But the hardness and coldness she had imagined did not appear. Instead, a warm and soft touch suddenly appeared on her back. It was Ye Shuang'er who stepped forward at the critical moment, hugged her from the side, and then carefully supported her body and helped her sit firmly against the headboard.

This reaction is subconscious.

It was not until she finished the action that Ye Shuang'er seemed to realize what she had done, and the expression on her face became extremely subtle.
