Free Web NovelChapter 336: Chapter 336: Xiao Heyun
But Song Wanning kept her guard up, speaking impeccably without revealing a thing.
Xie Qinglan, however, revealed everything about herself to Song Wanning within moments.
"My father is the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect. Song Dao You, you only just ascended, so if you don’t have a place to go, why not join us?"
"My dad would be thrilled to welcome a genius like you who can fight cultivators above your own level!"
Xie Qinglan had been captivated by Song Wanning’s incredible skill from the moment they met, and her eyes sparkled with admiration whenever she looked at her.
In the instant the Spirit Boat had flown over, all she saw was Song Wanning striking out with her sword...
’That figure was just as cool as my senior brother’s!!’
"Thank you for your kind offer. However, my master from the Lower World ascended long ago, and now I must go and join her."
Song Wanning wasn’t completely ignorant of social etiquette. Since Xie Qinglan was so friendly, she couldn’t be too cold in return and chatted with her with a smile.
Xiao Heyun sat to one side, not uttering a word. He was intently observing their surroundings, silently ensuring their safety.
She glanced at Xiao Heyun and frowned, but didn’t say anything.
Xie Qinglan seemed to misunderstand the look and quickly chimed in, "Song Dao You, please don’t take offense. My senior brother is known for his cold personality, but he’s a very kind person!"
She covered her mouth, giggled, and continued her praise:
"Don’t mind my senior brother’s icy exterior. He’s actually the softest-hearted person you’ll meet. Whenever he sees low-level cultivators suffering injustice, he loves to step in and right the wrong!"
"Plus, he never looks down on anyone because of their cultivation level and always treats everyone with courtesy. Even my dad praises him for his upstanding character!"
When it came to praising her senior brother, Xie Qinglan had an endless supply of words.
She grabbed Song Wanning’s arm and began to recount Xiao Heyun’s glorious past.
Song Wanning listened passively, but the more she heard, the more she felt that something was wrong.
’Why does all this sound so familiar?’
’Isn’t he just a male version of Ye Chuxue?’
’Surely it can’t be such a coincidence?’
Song Wanning’s heart sank, and she gave Xiao Heyun a direct, undisguised stare.
Feeling the beauty’s eyes on him, Xiao Heyun silently sat up a little straighter. Though his face maintained its cool facade, his heart was bursting with joy.
’Hahaha, you see that? This beauty is probably captivated by my charm already. In this cruel Cultivation World, who else is willing to meddle in others’ affairs? Only me, hahaha...’
His inner thoughts and outward appearance were completely disconnected. On a normal day, the system required him to suppress his emotions and act cool.
Thankfully, he could still talk smack with the system from time to time. Otherwise, he’d probably die from holding it all in.
’Of course. Host, you’ve already conquered seven target individuals. Their affection levels are all at ninety-five percent, just shy of a perfect score!’
’The higher your conquest value, the more outstanding your appearance will become and the better your talent will get. It’s only natural these women can’t walk away once they see you!’
’But as for this woman, sleeping with her is fine, but don’t get too invested. The priority is to raise Xie Qinglan’s affection to one hundred percent. That way, you’ll advance to the Late-stage Void Refining realm!’
The system’s voice was full of cold calculation. Once the affection level hit one hundred percent, its own clearance level would also rise.
As long as the host listened to it, the two of them would, sooner or later, reach the pinnacle of life.
’I get it. I can’t afford any mistakes at this critical juncture.’
Xiao Heyun thought for a moment, feeling a little regretful.
This was a critical time for farming affection points, so it wasn’t convenient for him to make a move on Song Wanning. He would just have to wait until the affection gauge was full and then come up with a plan.
’So what if these women are exceptional? So what if they come from powerful families?’
’In the end, aren’t they just stepping stones for my rapid ascent?’
’This world, after all, should be ruled by men. Women just need to be good wives and raise children.’
While Xiao Heyun was still feeling smug, Xie Qinglan had already finished recounting all of her senior brother’s great achievements.
She failed to notice, however, that Song Wanning had grown increasingly silent.
The person she was describing really did sound like a male version of Ye Chuxue.
But it was just a feeling. She couldn’t be certain.
However, Xie Qinglan’s next sentence instantly sharpened her focus.
"Besides, my senior brother has lofty ambitions! He said he wants to create a golden age where everyone is equal!"
"I just admire him so much!!!"
Xie Qinglan’s eyes were filled with stars, overflowing with adoration for her senior brother.
Because her senior brother was truly that exceptional!
At first, he was just an outcast of the Xiao Family. His cousin not only stole his betrothed, but his Dantian was also damaged while he was out training, ruining his foundation.
But even then, my senior brother never gave up. Instead, he did everything he could to find a way forward. In the end, he not only healed his injuries but even awakened an Innate Spirit Bone.
In the end, he became my father’s disciple.
My senior brother never slacks off in his cultivation. Advancing realms is as simple as eating and drinking for him. You can bet the people of the Xiao Family are kicking themselves with regret.
"Oh, and my senior brother is also an all-rounder who’s proficient in all four arts of cultivation~~~~"
Xie Qinglan added as an afterthought.
Xiao Heyun was very satisfied with her introduction.
Every time his junior sister met someone she got along with, she would sing his praises.
This was something he tacitly permitted, as it helped him automatically gain affection points.
Sure enough, after hearing all this, Song Wanning bloomed into an exceptionally beautiful smile.
Xiao Heyun stared at her face, momentarily dazed.
Yet for some reason, being fixed by that smiling gaze, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
’Somehow, that smile... felt off.’
’System, why do I get the feeling her smile is kind of weird...’
’I think you just saw a pretty girl and got flustered, kid.’
The system sneered. Before transmigrating, this kid had loved to go on dates, but because of his poor appearance, the girls he met online were always scared off when they saw him in person.
Consequently, after transmigrating, he had zero self-control in this regard, often spending Spirit Stones at Feng Yue establishments.
He had always wanted to devour his conquest targets, but alas, their affection levels weren’t maxed out yet, so for now, all he could do was a bit of touching.
The kid was practically bursting with anticipation. Now that he’d seen a beauty, it was only natural his mind would start to wander.
Xiao Heyun: "..."
’Fine, I guess I was just overthinking it.’
Pushing the thought aside, Xiao Heyun continued to strike what he considered a very cool pose.
He felt Song Wanning sizing him up and thought, ’I have to show her my coolest side so it’ll be easier to hook up with her later.’
Little did he know, Song Wanning was actually wondering where she should start when the time came to kill him.
’The neck?’
’Or the heart?’
’Or maybe just slice him in two with a single strike?’
’Ugh, never mind. I’ll just grind his bones to dust and scatter the ashes.’
A flash of killing intent crossed Song Wanning’s mind. She had thought she was just unlucky, but now, it seemed this was probably an arrangement made by the Three Lives Mirror.
’A golden age where everyone is equal?’
’Pah! These hypocrites care more about power and status than anyone, yet they shout their slogans the loudest.’
’It’s disgusting just listening to it.’
’And yet people still fall for this charade.’
’Especially this woman right here. She’s been poisoned even more deeply than Bai Yang!’
