Chapter 70: 66. Sickly-Cute Junior Sister! Those who dare to like Eldest Senior Brother must die! (Double Chapter Combined) _1

After comforting Lu Yingying and ensuring she was safely settled back in her dormitory, he was reluctantly drawn into a sweet, lingering kiss with his little Junior Sister, whom he had personally guided. Lin Xiao then quickly returned to his dwelling.

Yes, his mind was tumultuous—it desperately needed sorting! What on earth is happening?!

He had tolerated being forcibly crammed with cultivation techniques like the "Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step," the "Wine God Curse," and the "Divine Sword Thunder Control Sword Technique" before. These Divine Skills and magical arts were incredibly powerful, but at least they were Heaven Rank cultivation techniques from the Lower Realm!

Now, he was being rewarded with a Fifth Grade cultivation technique from the Upper Realm, the "Beiming Swallowing Heaven Immortal Skill"!

Lin Xiao could even distinctly sense that as he flew on his sword using his True Yuan, his Beiming True Qi was like a hungry wolf, fiercely devouring and refining the surrounding Spiritual Energy. It even transformed and absorbed the Demon Aura hidden within the spiritual veins beneath Divine Phoenix Peak, integrating it into his dantian!

If this keeps up... then within the half-month before the Tournament of the Five Branches, I might mysteriously break through to the Golden Core Realm, condense a Dharma Appearance, and step into the Dharma Appearance Realm!

Lin Xiao carefully read the cultivation technique’s description. To his surprise, this cultivation technique was even more outrageous than he had imagined! It not only allowed him to seize others’ cultivation levels and cultivation techniques but even their origin and the Power of Laws they controlled! Paired with his "Formless Sword Body," which could assimilate and merge with others’ Sword Intent, this combination was simply a game-breaking exploit!

It was no exaggeration to say that while his current cultivation level was only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he had truly become a terrifying entity, akin to a black hole within the Cultivation World!

"Just one step away from becoming an immortal, and you decide to increase the game’s difficulty, don’t you?!" Lin Xiao roared internally, or perhaps muttered aloud in his room, "Damn it!" He was furious, slamming his fist hard against a wooden post.

DING.

"Because the Host displayed impotent rage, the System has determined: Successful restoration of the villain persona!"

"You have received a reward: Cold Jade Soft Ice Bed x1. This is a Seventh Grade treasure personally refined by an Ascended Ancestor from the Hehuan Sect in the Upper Realm. It’s comfortable and soft, able to accommodate up to ten people. It is an essential item for Daoist partners to cultivate affection and enhance their relationship through Dual Cultivation. Long-term use can greatly improve a cultivator’s True Qi limit and the recovery speed of their True Yuan."

[Note: The Upper Realm’s heavenly treasures, cultivation techniques, Divine Skills, spiritual tools, and Magic Treasures are classified from First Grade (highest) to Ninth Grade (lowest).]

As the system’s electronic notification sounded in his mind, Lin Xiao was momentarily stunned. Then, a harsh, bitter smile touched his lips.

"Alright, System, stop the act. Show your cards," he said, his voice tight. "What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Let’s not even talk about Ye Chen! In the web novels of my past life, protagonists had to complete tasks or pay some price after getting a golden finger! But me, this cannon-fodder villain? I just slack off and do nothing, occasionally engage in some risqué activities with a few junior sisters and even Master, and I’m showered with heaps of heaven-defying rewards!"

"Is this reasonable? How dare you claim you’re not doing this intentionally?" Lin Xiao’s voice was laced with suppressed fury. "This immortal ascension... can I still achieve it? Answer me!"

Although he was infuriated beyond measure, Lin Xiao struggled to keep his tone calm. This time, he truly needed to have a proper discussion with this damn lousy system!

To his surprise, the system finally stopped playing dead!

DING.

"Host’s query detected!"

"The System’s answer is: Immortal ascension is achievable, but you must achieve it standing."

Having delivered its response, the System went silent again, as if it had crashed.

Lin Xiao’s eyes widened in utter bewilderment.

Damn it! This answer... Isn’t it far too perfunctory? Riddler, go to hell! I’m going to lie down and achieve this immortal ascension, just you watch!

In that instant, a surge of anger solidified Lin Xiao’s resolve.

Truthfully, he no longer had a choice.

To be fair, during this period, after growing closer to his junior sisters and even Master, and coming to understand their hearts, his mindset had quietly begun to change. Especially tonight, when little Junior Sister Lu Yingying stood up for him, was injured by Ye Chen, and then pleaded with him to drop his facade and return to his former self... His unyielding Dao heart, set on achieving immortality, had nearly been shattered.

He even had a strong feeling... that if Ye Chen hadn’t fled tonight, he might have truly lost control and personally killed that bastard protagonist to vent his junior sister’s anger!

In reality, his current mentality was much like that of a gambler. Although he had already considered giving up, he had invested over a decade in playing the villain! Now, he was just one step from the finish line! If he didn’t give his all in the final act, the "Tournament of the Five Branches," he would never be able to accept it!

Even if the final result was failure... even if he permanently lost the chance to achieve immortality and return to Earth, he would have no regrets! He would simply live honestly with the junior sisters and Master of this life!

Yes, for the upcoming plot, I’ll just go all out and not force the results! I’ll consider it... a way to give myself closure, for all these years I’ve spent striving to play the villain.

At this thought, Lin Xiao’s mind became exceptionally clear and serene; he had reached a complete understanding.

He sat cross-legged, his breathing even, his mind focused. He began to recall the details of the upcoming plot from the original story:

Right now, I’ve received Ye Chen’s letter of challenge. Just as in the original novel, with the help of that old ’grandpa’ figure, he has comprehended the Five-Element Sword Dao and broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm.
