As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels-Chapter 4.7

Chapter 4.7

In front of Sunset Cliff, the top three sects and the demonic sect were at a standoff. The two sides were originally equal in strength and their previous confrontations had its own victories and defeats from both sides, with no one being able to gain the upper hand over the other. But this time there was a big difference.

The Demon Lord Hong Wu who descended thousands of years ago had somehow died and revived again, plus he had a top-grade immortal tool on-hand, the silent blazing saber. Even if Immortal Xuantian reincarnated, even he wouldn’t be the Demon Lord’s opponent, let alone these people?

The other two sects had already begun to retreat. Due to the fact that the joint three-sect competition was to be held on Wangyou Mountain in half a month and the popular saying that Xuan Tian sect was a magical land full of spiritual energy for cultivation, they had all arrived in advance. They originally wanted to enhance their cultivation level, but didn’t expect to be entangled in such matters. Now it was too late to regret.

One of the peak masters of Po Yun sect suggested, “Since the Demon Lord is clearly asking us to surrender Immortal Luoxia, it is obvious that there must be a reason behind this. How about you invite Brother Lin to come out, then he can also explain the reason for all this.”

As soon as he uttered those words, it was echoed by many members of Po Yun sect and Guan Lan sect, all consecutively telling Xuan Tian sect to hand over Immortal Luoxia.

What they said sounded righteous and high-sounding, but in fact, their meaning was very clear. It was obvious that they wanted to surrender Lin Yuan over to the demonic sect to make things easier.

How could Xuan Tian sect be willing, Immortal Luoxia’s cultivation was extremely high and he was one of the main forces of their sect. If he ended up being killed by the Demon Lord, the vitality of Xuan Tian sect would surely suffer a great loss, and from then on it would be difficult to retain their untouchable position among the top three sects.

Immediately, someone retorted, “If the Demon Lord wants to kill people, why does he need a reason? It’s merely that he sees Immortal Luoxia’s cultivation to be very high and views him as a big threat to the demonic sect. Peak Lord Liu wants us to surrender Immortal Luoxia, but who knows if it will be your turn next?”

The two sides started arguing relentlessly, both refusing to back down. A group of hundreds-of-years-old cultivators began to quarrel, their behaviour being no less than that of the rude aunties from the market. This caused all the newly-entered disciples to really open their eyes and inwardly click their tongue in admiration.

When Hong Wu saw that they were quarrelling endlessly, he sneered in mockery. He gathered his strength to his silent blazing saber and sent a blow towards the golden barrier surrounding Sunset Cliff.

He clearly saw that stinky little lad flee in this direction.

The son of fate, Xu Moran, reincarnation of Immortal Xuantian, should have originally had the qualities of the mutated ice roots, so why did his martial moves carry an aura of demonic cultivation? What’s more, these were all mystical and mental cultivation techniques he had never seen before. Even when faced against himself who had already recovered over 90% of his cultivation plus the silent blazing saber, the boy was still able to match his strength equally. It was really too strange!!

“Ming, the male lead really isn’t an actor or a character who has been replaced by someone else?”

“After systems scans, the degree of the male lead’s soul match is 100%. It is impossible to achieve this level whether it may be an actor or a person who has replaced the original character.”

“Then how do you explain the male lead’s irregularities?”

“This……this system can’t answer Master’s question.” It resolutely pretended to be dead.

Hong Wu ‘tsk’ed once, feeling very dissatisfied with the incompetence of the system. He had finally discovered Fan Yuan’s whereabouts and won the right to enter the mission of this world. Originally, he had made thorough preparations to sacrifice the mission and keep that person in this world so that he could never escape.

However, what he didn’t expect was that something would go wrong at this very crucial moment. If it were someone else, things would still be okay, but it just had to be the son of fate acting abnormally. Due to the rules that were acting as obstacles, he absolutely couldn’t kill him.

But although he couldn’t kill, there were many ways to make his life worse than death. He’d better pray not to fall in his hands, or else………. Hong Wu’s eyes turned cold—he had to make him regret it.

**********************

At that moment within Sunset Cliff, Fan Yuan was slowly recovering his spiritual power and Yan Rui’s injury had basically recovered. However, in the short-term it was best not to fight intensely again, otherwise the wound would split open again.

It’s just that when he saw the expression in Yan Rui’s eyes when he glanced outward from time to time, he knew that he most probably couldn’t stop him.

He tried to test the waters, “How about I talk to him first. Everyone’s actors here, so we should focus on the mission. You two have no deep hatred or grudge, there’s no need to fight to the death.”

Yan Rui furrowed his brow, “Who said that there is no deep hatred or grudge, don’t tell me you forgot that time when he wanted to force himself on you?”

Fan Yuan’s expression immediately sank. That kind of dark history of him being forced by men, he simply wanted to completely eradicate it from his memory ah, no?!

He grumpily replied, “That time you appeared very timely, he didn’t get the chance to do anything to me, and then you also wounded him, you could consider it even.”

Yan Rui’s eyes were dark and obscure. He faintly said, “When I was Gu Qi, my strength was completely sealed. If I didn’t suddenly break through the seals, I might’ve not been able to save you. Have you thought about the consequences of that?”

Fan Yuan was slightly surprised. No wonder the vibe Gu Qi gave him before and after was very different, as if a harmless person suddenly became extremely fierce. Whether it was his momentum or temperament, the differences were both great.

He had just wanted to ask what Yan Rui meant by his strength being sealed, and also what was up with him breaking through the seals, yet his cheeks were suddenly cupped by his hands. Yan Rui’s palms were very hot, which made Fan Yuan slightly uneasy.

Yan Rui stared into his eyes and said slowly, “Xiao Yuan, you’re really too naive.”

Fan Yuan’s mouth twitched, and he said unhappily, “Of course, my brain doesn’t turn as fast as yours, even a fox has to admit defeat in front of you, how can I compare to you?”

Yan Rui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he was pressed their foreheads together, softly murmuring, “I don’t mean it like that. You’re very smart, but you’re too slow in matters of the heart. I said that I like you, that kind of desire to monopolize you all the time, that kind of like whether I don’t want to share you with anyone, can you understand it? Whether it’s Yu Kai or Pei Yu, no matter if their hearts were moved because of you, or if they simply just want to take advantage of you, as long as it’s someone who dares to have other thoughts towards you, I absolutely can’t forgive. Absolutely…can’t forgive.”

Fan Yuan’s cheeks were slightly hot, and his throat trembled slightly. He whispered, “I understand, that time with Pei Yu was my bad. I won’t let others casually take advantage of me anymore. Regarding Yu Kai, this time my plot is related to him, just treat it as helping me for my assessment and let him go for the time being, okay?”

When Yan Rui saw that he was so self-aware, his heart was satisfied. He smiled gently and narrowed his eyes, “Xiao Yuan, I want to kiss you, is that okay?”

He brushed over his lips, but was suddenly blocked by Fan Yuan’s hand. All he could see was that the blushing little kitten just now had become his dignified shizun in an instant, and a feeling of frustration to the point where the urge to facepalm couldn’t help but rise from his chest. It seemed that for the time being, he could only rely on his system to talk with him about love.

Fan Yuan didn’t give a damn about the despair and disappointment that was evident from Yan Rui’s eyes, and took the initiative to widen the distance between them. He was almost deceived by that man’s sweet words, and even the mission had almost been thrown into the gutter.

It was already his limit to let that guy hang off him like a large dog. After all, his stupid disciple had also acted like this. But he still wanted more, there was none left!

He neatened up his robes and glanced at Yan Rui who was still sitting in the same spot. His words were slightly harsh, “Moran, since it’s a mess you’ve caused, follow this teacher to resolve it.”

Yan Rui saw that he had immersed himself in his role and could only obey, “Yes, Tu’er obeys.”

He recited an incantation and retrieved the jade flute, conveniently undoing the seals. The jade that was covered in a brilliance of lights gradually overflowed with a black-gold shine. It was a color Fan Yuan had never seen before, but what was certain was that it was by no means a method of the righteous path; dark energy was heavily present.

Yan Rui quickened the incantation and gradually restrained the demonic energy, and the golden glow of jade flute eventually covered the black light. Finally, he transformed the jade flute into an ordinary bamboo one, not looking too different from the previous one. He raised his head and ingratiatingly looked at Fan Yuan, heavy with intention to ask for praise.

The corners of Fan Yuan’s mouth tugged down; F*cking hell, this scoundrel’s cultivation level was definitely not only at late-stage Dujie. He guessed that this man was wary of world’s rules and had been suppressing his strength this entire time. At least he understood what Yan Rui meant by his strength being sealed away.

Two people flew out of Sunset Cliff, one in front and the other following close behind.

Meanwhile outside Sunset Cliff, Hong Wu’s patience was about to wane. He really wanted to wash Xuan Tian sect in blood to calm his fury.

The dispute between Xuan Tian sect and the other two sects had also reached its peak, fervent stage. Both sides were engaged in a fierce battle of tongues and neither was willing to give way to the other.

At this time, Xuan Tian sect’s Sect Master, Immortal Shangxian, finally spoke. He stroked his beard and said in a slow, drawn-out manner, “Various people who want us to hand over Immortal Luoxia, it isn’t that such is impossible.”

With just one sentence, it caused the surrounding people break out in an uproar. The members of Po Yun sect and Guan Lan sect finally felt relieved, while all the peak lords of Xuan Tian sect expressed great discontent.

However, they heard Immortal Shangxian calmly say another sentence in a drawn-out manner, “Immortal Luoxia is currently in closed-door cultivation on Sunset Cliff, if there’s someone among all those here who has the ability to break this golden barrier and invite Immortal Luoxia out, my Xuan Tian sect will have no objections.”

This time, nobody uttered a single world. Even the Demon Lord’s silent blazing saber couldn’t split the barrier, who else had a way?

This side hadn’t been quiet for long when they saw the golden light shrouding Sunset Cliff suddenly disappear. Just like that, it had appeared out of thin air, and disappeared into thin air.

Immortal Shangxian stared at this scene with wide eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, haha his face really hurt! Who was toying with him?

Sure enough, the members of the other two sects were boiling with excitement. Immediately, someone suggested going in to catch Immortal Luoxia, and many people seconded it.

The situation on the side of the three sects had changed dramatically, but Hong Wu was too lazy to pay attention to it. The golden light disappeared—it seemed that Xu Moran had cured his injury.

The little lad’s injury was no better than his own. It was difficult for regular people to heal in such a short period of time, and he himself had gone through the system’s marketplace to exchange for a top-grade spiritual pill, that’s why he recovered so quickly. As for Xu Moran, he guessed that someone had helped heal him.

He squinted ahead and spotted two white figures getting closer and closer, clearer and clearer………. He immediately tightened his grip on the magical treasure in his hand; those two actually came out together.

When the two approached closer, the members of Po Yun sect and Guan Lan sect could no longer repeat the words they had been yelling previously.

Although they had long heard that Immortal Luoxia was an unmatched beauty, he was a man after all, so how beautiful could he be? To their dismay, the rumours were not far off at all. Witnessing the immortal today, they knew for the first time that their views were too shallow. There really was a type of beauty that could blur the lines between genders.

That person was just standing there, his long black hair scattered freely in the wind, clad in a body of white even paler than snow, and the glass-like quality of his eyes made them extremely beautiful. He appeared unattainable, his entire body assuming a posture of a celestial being. Even if the top beauty in the cultivation world, Liu Wenya, stood in front of him, she would merely look vulgar.

Yan Rui’s eyes were cold as he moved his body in front of Fan Yuan to block him from sight. The corners of his mouth revealed a sliver of mockery, “I heard that you were discussing how to send my shizun into the Demon Lord’s hands? May I know if you all have arrived at a conclusion?”

Fan Yuan similarly curled his mouth, and the shallow curve was enough to show his disdain and contempt.

In the face of such a beautiful person, anyone who was human would feel some guilt in their hearts. One after another, the people of Po Yun and Guan Lan sects started blushing. Those who were shouting loudly previously were now covering their mouths in feigned ignorance.

At this instance, a girl suddenly stood out from the crowd. She stepped forward bravely and stood in front of Fan Yuan, righteously speaking, “Immortal Luoxia, this junior is Liu Wenya, the 13th disciple of Guan Lan sect. I think that all the Senior Uncles here are, in fact, not in the wrong. The one the Demon Lord is looking for is you, Senior. Senior should come forward to protect the three sects, if hundreds of thousands of cultivators were dragged down because of you, don’t tell me that Senior will feel at ease?”

Fan Yuan glanced at this girl; This standard of pleas about self-sacrifice and perishing for the sake of justice could only be uttered by the female lead. This person was Liu Wenya, the female lead of this world. She was a very kind person, so kind that she couldn’t even bear to step on an ant, it’s just that one didn’t know how she could have the heart to persuade a person to send themselves into the arms of death.

In fact, Fan Yuan knew that if Demon Lord wanted her today, she would certainly surrender herself due to her innate dedication to righteousness. Such dedication came from the original plot where Liu Wenya worshipped Immortal Xuantian greatly, especially for his deed of sacrificing himself for the greater good, and thus made it her principle in life. Hence, she was someone who loved to help others and was also willing to offer herself up.

However, she had not seen much of the world after all, being sheltered by her father too much and always living in an ivory tower. She didn’t know that some sacrifices were not worthwhile, and some sacrifices were unnecessary.

Making a deal with a demon, would always be a losing transaction.

Fan Yuan was too lazy to haggle with a little girl and planned to ignore her. On the other hand, Yan Rui couldn’t stand watching him be wronged even by a tiny bit. He let out a sneer and directed a cold gaze at Liu Wenya.

“Liu guniang is profoundly righteous. My shizun has lived in Luoxia Peak for nearly a hundred years and has never interacted with the Demon Lord. You’re letting an innocent person like him send himself to death for naught. Some day, when the Demon Lord comes back demanding for someone else, I’m afraid that Liu guniang wants to give up all members of the three sects.”

Liu Wenya choked, her face going red as she retorted, “How can that be, the Demon Lord would not be so unreasonable.”

Once the words left her mouth, the people of Xuan Tian sect consecutively began to laugh. What kind of person the Demon Lord was—how many people did he kill thousands of years ago, how many people have perished under the demonic sect he headed—when was such a person reasonable?

Liu Wenya backed into the crowd, embarrassed, not daring to run her tongue off again.

Fan Yuan saw Yan Rui add another sentence to K.O. the female lead, but his heart didn’t fluctuate a single bit. Indeed, he was already used to this.

Suddenly, a bloody red killing intent that was thick with evil energy came hurling towards them. Fan Yuan hadn’t had the time to react when Yan Rui had already pulled him behind him. He took out the bamboo flute and injected his spiritual power, instantly setting up a golden barrier to block the killing intent.

Two peerless magical treasures collided. The powers of both were unprecedentedly formidable, hence many young cultivators had collapsed one after the other, bleeding from nose and mouth. Only those who were of Forming Deity stage and above barely managed to maintain their divine consciousness and didn’t collapse in an unsightly manner, but their faces were extremely pale.

For a period of time, the entire Wangyou Mountain was enveloped in dead silence.

The Author has Something to Say:

Regarding whether the BOSS is a love rival, he probably can’t be considered one. You can think of him as being here to add some trouble, because the gong-jun is too OP ah!

P.S.: The slag author still changed the Demon Lord’s name in the end (chel: Probably from Sa Ye -> Hong Wu)~

Because this is a really good show ahahahaha n(*≧▽≦*)n so it’s such a densely-packed chapter XOXO (づ￣3￣)づ
