Chapter 14: Acting as the Junior Brother Who Adores Lou Yunxiao
[Oh ho, awesome. Makes me want to read it too.] Xiao Yuan spoke cheekily in Ning Ke’s consciousness.
When doing the first mission, Ning Ke saw this book in the original host’s storage space. At that time, it wasn’t marked as the first volume.
Resulting in a “2” popping up now.
Making him curious about what kind of author could draw such erotic books?
Are the Demon Race all this talented?
Hiding the book like a hot potato, Ning Ke asked Xiao Yuan: Been here a while, how come you haven’t issued a mission yet?
[Isn’t it about to be issued? What’s the rush?]
Xiao Yuan cleared her throat and said: [The second stage mission is: Play the role of the Junior Brother who adores Lou Yunxiao, dig out your eyes for him in the secret realm, and self-destruct for him.]
“? Huh?” Ning Ke was dazed for a moment.
“That Junior Brother is also me?”
He remembered that in the novel, his sister indeed wrote a good buddy for the male lead Lou Yunxiao.
Who also occupied a large part of the scenes in the early stages.
The boy was about the same age as Lou Yunxiao, joined the Sword Sect, and liked to follow behind Lou Yunxiao calling “Senior Brother” sentence after sentence.
Even when everyone was wary of Lou Yunxiao and discussed him behind his back because he cultivated the Demon path, this Junior Brother named “A-Ke” still followed him without hesitation, and even fought others for him.
His existence was also the key for the male lead to remain upright even in the face of criticism.
And his death was the beginning of Lou Yunxiao losing control of his demonic energy…
Xiao Yuan replied to him righteously: [Yes, A-Ke, isn’t that you?]
“But this is clearly a regular plot, how can it count as a loophole?”
[Because your sister didn’t write where A-Ke came from. Not writing the origin is a loophole, so you have to play the role.]
“Hiss.” Ning Ke sucked in a breath of cold air, pondered this mission again, and raised a doubt once more: “Then this ‘adore’, can you explain to me what’s going on?”
[It means exactly what it says.] Xiao Yuan laughed incredibly lewdly: [A-Ke, gender male, hobby Lou Yunxiao, is a peerless invincible love-brain oh~]
She “chanted” with deep emotion.
[Even knowing Senior Brother doesn’t like him, that someone else lives in Senior Brother’s heart, he still loves Senior Brother deeply. Even digging out his eyes for Senior Brother, self-destructing for Senior Brother, it’s all for love, he has no regrets!]
Ning Ke: 0_0 I suspect you are screwing with me.
[I’m not, I didn’t, don’t guess blindly.]
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, she cheekily suggested: [Host, if you really don’t understand this kind of love, you can read that book ‘My Days and Nights with the Daoist Supreme’. It should be more useful than reading ‘Self-Cultivation of an Actor’ before.]
“Get lost!!”
[Alrighty~]
Xiao Yuan rolled away roundly.
Ning Ke got up exhaustedly, walked to his sleeping hall, threw himself splat onto the super soft and super large bed, closed his eyes, and played dead.
Heavens.
What is all this.
He, Ning Ke, twenty-five, upright older leftover straight man.
What sin did he commit to have to play a bootlicker who likes men?
Thinking and thinking like this, he got tired of thinking and fell asleep.
Groggy, he had a dream.
He dreamed he was lying on a hospital bed, and his sister was crying by the bed.
Calling him, Brother, wake up, don’t leave me alone.
Ning Ke frowned.
Didn’t he just sleep?
How could he be in the hospital? And there were injuries of varying degrees on his body, a ventilator connected to his mouth, completely unable to react to his sister’s calls.
He wanted to wipe away his sister’s tears with heartache, but his fingers just passed through, unable to touch at all.
Parents died early, he and his sister were fostered at a relative’s house at first, later moved out to live, always depending on each other. It could be said his sister was his only relative, the princess he held in his palm.
And his sister had always been obedient, writing novels to earn money since college, not causing him trouble.
The reason he tried hard to go home was also because he couldn’t let go of his sister.
He couldn’t bear to see the girl cry for him.
The dream stopped abruptly here. Ning Ke opened his eyes from the big bed.
Immediately called Xiao Yuan in his consciousness: Fck it, isn’t it just playing a love-brain who likes men? I’ll play! As long as you can let me go home, I’ll do anything!*
September, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the autumn breeze was refreshing.
And the Human Realm welcomed the once-every-three-years Immortal Sect Recruitment Assembly again.
Sword Sect, Pill Sect, Music Sect, Buddhist Sect, the four major sects gathered together, looking forward on the mountain top, hoping those tender little geniuses would climb up, calculating in their hearts that scamming one away counts as one.
Only before there was the Liuyun Sect to make up five sects, now with only four major sects left, it was somewhat desolate.
Music Sect Master Hong Yao propped her head with her hand, beautiful eyes half-closed, tone pitying and sorrowful: “If I knew Liuyun Sect would suffer such a catastrophe, I would have definitely poached their beauties and hunks some time in advance, so as not to let so many good-looking geniuses perish.”
Pill Sect Master Wei Qinghai shook his head: “With these words of yours, Lou Jing might jump out of his coffin to trouble you.”
Lou Jing was Lou Yunxiao’s father, and also the Sect Master of Liuyun Sect.
“Ridiculous, at this time I’d actually want him to jump out and trouble me.”
Buddhist Sect Master Abbot Wu Jue looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked: “That Lou family boy is in your Sword Sect, how is he doing?”
Gao Ze was the Sword Sect Master who looked for Lou Yunxiao that day. He replied: “There is demonic energy remaining in him, can’t act rashly. I have temporarily locked him in the Demon Sealing Tower. After some time, when it’s confirmed he won’t hurt people, I’ll release him.”
A sharp light flashed in the old monk’s eyes, saying: “In this old monk’s opinion, you shouldn’t have let him live in the first place.”
“A person bearing demonic energy, keeping him will become a scourge sooner or later.”
Gao Ze pursed his lips: “There’s something suspicious about the Lou family’s annihilation, still needs verification. And this Lou Yunxiao disappeared for a year, reappeared in the world, and walked a path of Dual Cultivation of Dao and Demon. These are all unprecedented variables.”
“I think, if we can guide him to the right path, it would be a good deed, and also comfort the spirits of those deceased in heaven.”
The old monk snorted from his nose, scolding him.
“Womanly benevolence.”
Gao Ze didn’t refute either.
He was a sword cultivator cultivating the heart; he did things to have a clear conscience.
Towards a pitiful junior who hadn’t done anything wrong, he couldn’t bring himself to kill.
While speaking, a large pile of little radishes who passed the test had already climbed up the mountain heave-ho heave-ho.
Ning Ke, transformed into a teenager, was sandwiched among them. Whether it was appearance, height, cultivation, temperament, or the tyrannical clothing of wearing gold and silver, he appeared particularly eye-catching.
Making those four big shots up there who were chatting just now instantly cast their gazes on him in unison.
Pill Sect Master: “Fire Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root? Too suitable for alchemy!”
Music Sect Master: “This child is too good-looking, too hooking, must come to our Music Sect!”
Buddhist Sect Abbot: “This child reached the Golden Core stage at such a young age, this comprehension, our Buddhist Sect wants him!”
While the Sword Sect Master looked at his own plain cloth clothes, then at Ning Ke’s spiritual energy-rampant luxurious clothes, a hint of poverty’s awkwardness finally appeared on his serious face.
“…Mm, he’s too rich, our Sword Sect seems unable to afford raising him.”
