The Yandere System in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 53 Become A Holy Son? I Don’t Want To!
Victor hoped that all the bullshit he uttered would not affect the sect master, he would consider it absurd if she actually responded to the confession.
The image that had formed to that point about the sect master would collapse in his mind.
"You wished you were dead! Be glad that I didn't kill you." - Xue Yan replied coldly.
Victor nodded.
It was strange to think that the sect master would fall for such nonsense, she is not an innocent little girl with no experience, but even so he did not understand what the sect master wanted from him, a strange message from the system and the master's behavior were making him uneasy.
Xue Yan was silent for a while while her thoughts were in chaos. At first she thought Victor was just a fool with a death wish, but seeing how he was willing to die without giving up his love for her strung at her heart.
Her cold heart skipped a beat for the first time, he confessed his love to her even despite the difference in both age and position between them, but she could not find an answer to what she felt at that moment. It was something new, something sweet as honey, a sensation she had never experienced in her life.
All her murderous thoughts had long since dissipated, and in it's place flourished to this time an undiscovered feeling, now she herself did not know what to answer him.
'I can't just let him go,' she whispered in her heart.
What Victor didn't know was that at that moment his words and facial expression hit Xue Yan too hard, who until that moment didn't know what it was like in a relationship between a man and a woman at all.
Xue Yan's heart was changing, only that it was unknown whether it was for the better or for the worse. All because the object of her interest, Victor, was of relatively low status as a cultivator compared to her. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
Looking at Victor, Xue Yan's eyes suddenly glittered while her hands inadvertently clutched the hem of her robe, at this moment she did not resemble the sect master's usual aloof personality, but rather a timid girl at the sight of a handsome young lad.
'Yeah, I have no fucking idea what's going on with her.' Looking at her pretty countenance, Victor was speechless, she did not behave like herself at all, as if she had a split personality, no matter how much he wanted to, he truly couldn't believe that she started to take an interest in him just because of what he said, he thought it was a figment of his imagination.
Xue Yan's gaze was unrelenting, only after a while did she relax a bit and asked:
"You're not going to retract what you said before?"
Victor could not help but nod his head, for it would have been suicidal to take a step back when freedom was already near.
Noticing how Victor did not deny his earlier words, Xue Yan smiled for the first time in a long time, stunning Victor with her smile.
"I have decided, as of today you are a disciple of the Temple of the Dark Moon, now you must pass the physique test and if it is of Heavenly Rank, I will allow you to become a holy son of the temple and... I will consider your confession." - As she spoke her face as well as her neck completely flushed while she spoke the last words in a whisper, it was unknown where she got the courage to say such things.
At that moment Victor's face stiffened, it didn't go the way he had expected at all.
'A disciple? The holy son? What the hell is going on?!' He genuinely couldn't understand what was going on here, where was the woman whose only expression was a deadpan one.
He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but now after what she had said, it seemed impossible, he had entered the tiger's den and now he is stuck in it. He was afraid that if he became the Dark Moon Temple's disciple he would have to see her too often for his liking.
And if he becomes a holy son of the Temple of the Dark Moon, just the thought sent a chill down his spine, and it wasn't just from his relationship with the sect master.
Like a decree, if one became a demonic sect's holy son, it was a mark of the end of his peaceful life. The person who was bestowed the role of a holy son of a sect with a high standing would become so famous across the entire world that he would most likely be recognizable to almost any cultivator in the world.
All the more so if he became the holy son of the Temple of the Dark Moon, a place regarded as a haven of the devil. He imagined a huge target on his forehead, not only the righteous sects but also the Blue Wind Emperor would pay a considerable price to curb him.
His peaceful life would end if he became the face of the strongest demon sect, he would automatically become the vilest demon right after Xue Yan and it would be impossible to wash this stain away. The quiet days would be over and there would be a lot of headaches.
Only after his thoughts stabilized after the chaos did he become nervous.
"Me, a holy son?"
"Cult master please I'm not worthy of the position, think twice, please!"
"I'm not worthy of it! My talent is mediocre and my heart is rotten. You will only ruin your image with your decision!"
Victor stammered out every reason that he could think of on the spot, he didn't want the position at all, all he wanted to do was to complete the task of becoming a disciple of a demonic sect and to quietly improve upon himself and become stronger. Without any dangerous situations and no one to disturb his peace.
"You dare to give me orders?!" - At this point she reverted back to her cold personality, whom Victor dared not cross, but even so he could not be silent, for he knew that once he completed the task he would acquire a physique of at the heavenly rank. He would be finished! Becoming a holy son of a demonic sect was not something he desired.
Pop!
Victor fell to his knees trying to garner at least some kind of pity out of the sect master.
"Sect Master, think twice, my abilities are mediocre and my talent is ordinary, not only am I not worthy to be a holy son but also to be a disciple of the Temple of the Dark Moon. I insulted you by confessing it is not so easy to forgive, you'd better beat me!"
Xue Yan's eyes narrowed at the sight of this, she didn't like that at all, there was only one step left and he suddenly backed away.
'Doesn't he get it?' She thought, so she decided to clarify.
"Don't you want to follow me?"
