The System Teaches You How to Be Human

“Hah, hah…”

The sound of hurried breathing echoed through the immortal’s cave, like a cry coming from the depths of the underworld.

Qing Zhi clutched her bleeding chest, stumbling and running in one direction. She had been careless and was drugged with a type of sedative. At this moment, the effects of the drug blurred her vision, making everything appear hazy.

But she had to escape; if the two attackers had simply wanted to use her to gain profit, she might still have a slim chance of survival.

However, when Qing Zhi saw the look in the eyes of one of the men, the one who looked as though he wanted to devour her alive, a look full of greedy desire, she knew she had no choice but to flee!

As she ran, Qing Zhi poured a spiritual elixir into her mouth, but it did nothing to alleviate the dizziness overwhelming her.

She bit her lip so hard it bled, gritting her teeth. “What kind of wicked thing is this–!”

Unseen by Qing Zhi, demonic energy spread, covering her brows and eyes, turning her once beautiful face into something sinister and frightening.

Of course, the elixir was ineffective; the sedative had been mixed with a trace of demonic energy, like maggots clinging to bone!

Right behind her, Lu Weizhi followed with the patience of a cat playing with a mouse, casually swaying as she pursued Qing Zhi’s escaping path.

Lu Weizhi walked ahead of ‘Yu Rongcheng,’ her pupils darkened, lost in thought.

Is he going to drug her, then forcibly violate her? A flash of disgust flickered in Lu Weizhi’s eyes, and the corners of her lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.

A nauseating method.

Although she had several male pets, she had never resorted to such repulsive actions.

Heh, this thing… this thing.

Lu Weizhi concealed her expression, her fingers curling slightly.

Perhaps ‘Yu Rongcheng’ had noticed Lu Weizhi’s out-of-place action, but he didn’t care about the chaotic thoughts of the cultivators he had gathered; After all, none of them could stir up much of a storm.

Qing Zhi was reaching her limit. She slumped against the stone wall, gasping for breath. The feathers of a blue bird began to emerge uncontrollably, and she even started transforming back into part of her beast form.

She couldn’t hold on anymore.

Qing Zhi stared blankly ahead, her eyes filled with a ruthless determination, as if willing to destroy everything with her.

She waited for the cultivator who sought to trap her to appear, and then… she would self-destruct her golden core!

This was the most vulnerable yet most ruthless moment for Qing Zhi. Her vision blurred, and she faintly saw the images of her father and her unattainable lover before her.

‘Yu Rongcheng’ suddenly passed Lu Weizhi, quickly closing in on the seemingly helpless Qing Zhi.

Logically, demons wouldn’t make such an unnecessary move, but his chosen host was Yu Rongcheng, who had been reborn. Part of Yu Rongcheng’s consciousness subtly influenced every decision the demon made.

Thus, this filthy and twisted plan was conceived.

‘Yu Rongcheng’ first grabbed Qing Zhi’s delicate, white wrist and played with it for a while, then his hand moved toward her slender waist and the full curves of her chest wrapped in the light silk of her feathered garments.

Inside Qing Zhi, her golden core was wildly circulating, causing her eyes to glow faintly with a golden light.

A trace of sorrow flashed in Qing Zhi’s eyes, while Lu Weizhi’s gaze darkened. The blood whip tightly bound to her waist stirred restlessly.

At this crucial moment, Si Yisi finally arrived!

***

He thought the Heavenly Dao was probably a vegetarian. The demon had been oppressing him, taking the role of the so-called destined male lead without even realizing it, and constantly favoring that fake destined male lead, causing Si Yisi a great deal of trouble in his search.

(T/N: vegetarian = euphemism; meaning someone too soft-hearted/ not ruthless enough.)

Fortunately, he made it in time!

Si Yisi rubbed his hands and couldn’t help but reveal a vicious smile.

Then he realized his persona was on the verge of collapse, quickly adjusting the smile of Si Mobai and summoning his spiritual sword.

He slashed downward!

Even though he had mastered the sword techniques, Si Yisi was still accustomed to using them this way. Anyone who had recently become somewhat familiar with Si Mobai would accept this change, so Si Yisi had no reason not to use his familiar moves!

But someone… no, something else was faster than Si Yisi!

Hidden in Si Yisi’s hair, Ah Tu lost its grip and fell straight down. The little dragon, who had absorbed a lot of spiritual stones but hadn’t grown at all, dizzily slammed into ‘Yu Rongcheng.’

It immediately sensed the dark, sinister demonic energy it had touched.

Ah Tu shuddered in fear, instinctively unleashing a burst of electricity!

Zzzzt, zzzzt!!

The dazzling sparks beat Si Yisi to the punch, striking ‘Yu Rongcheng’s’… vulnerable spot.

Si Yisi’s sword strike halted: “…”

Lu Weizhi: “…” Hahahahaha! She laughed wildly inside her mind, slapping her leg.

Ah Tu, risking its life, started shooting out energy wildly…

‘Yu Rongcheng’s’ face twisted. As a formless demon, he couldn’t understand why the body he occupied was in excruciating pain from having a soft spot touched.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah―!” The real Yu Rongcheng’s consciousness surged, and he screamed loudly, almost fainting from the pain. He naturally let go of his hand that had been reaching toward Qing Zhi.

Qing Zhi collapsed limply.

Si Yisi frowned. He didn’t immediately catch her but used his spiritual sword to block her falling body.

Then, he caught Ah Tu, who had almost been strangled by Yu Rongcheng.

Si Yisi’s lips twitched, rarely showing a hint of a smile. He praised, “It really… struck a vital spot.”

Ah Tu, with its bald head, was so dizzy that stars were spinning in its vision: “0v0!!”

It flicked its tail and quickly hid back in its safest little nest.

Lu Weizhi waved at Si Yisi. “Young Master Si~ I was just passing by.”

Softly collapsed on the ground, Qing Zhi, having escaped from her despair, looked up through blurry eyes and smiled, “Mobai… Thank… you.”

Si Yisi only glanced at Lu Weizhi and told her, “Help take care of Qing Zhi.”

Lu Weizhi’s smile stiffened. Heaven help me, why do I have to take care of a love rival?

“Ah Tu, go keep an eye on them.” Si Yisi pulled Ah Tu out of its warm nest and gave the dazed creature a command.

Ah Tu, still groggy, floated to Lu Weizhi’s side, still sparkling faintly.

Lu Weizhi looked at Ah Tu, paused for a moment, then pulled Qing Zhi to her side. Under the pressure, she reluctantly replied, “I’ll take good care of her.”

She pinched Qing Zhi’s little face fiercely.

Si Yisi, confident in Ah Tu, didn’t pay much attention to that side. He frowned as he looked at Yu Rongcheng, only to find that the demonic energy on him had completely dissipated, and he now resembled nothing more than a low-level cultivator.

“Whether or not he’s…” Si Yisi slowly raised his sword, and the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped.

As Yu Rongcheng, now a weak cultivator, recovered from the pain, the first thing he saw was Si Yisi. With eyes bloodshot in rage, he howled, “I’ll kill you!!”

“I’ll kill you.” A smile tugged at the corners of Si Yisi’s lips, then…

The sword Qi shot to the sky!

Whether or not Yu Rongcheng was still a demon didn’t matter; First, he should beat the drowning dog!
