Feeling Myself Shake

[Congratulations for completing the villainous quest: Peeking at the Main Character, Fairy Lin Qingwan, Taking a Bath.]

[Rewards: 1. +500 Infamy, a total of 5,000 (can be raffled as well as redeemed for prizes); 2. A Tempering Agent (for pure martial artists).]

[Please keep up the excellent work, and march towards the path of the greatest villain of all time.]

"Such generous rewards?"

Jiang Lin, riding in the air with his horse made from spirit qi, was a little surprised. He had, after all, simply peeked at Senior Sister Lin bathing—was it because she was pretty?

"Forget it, whatever. Let's go back to the sect and report on the mission."

With a "hya", Jiang Lin hurriedly rode the horse made of spirit qi towards the Sun Moon Demon Sect in Wutong Province.

***

There were a total of nine provinces. The area of Wutong Province ranked the smallest among the nine provinces. The Sun Moon Demon Sect in Wutong Province ranked in the middle. Although it wasn't a small sect, it wasn't a large one, either.

After spending three full days rushing, Jiang Lin returned to Twin Pearl Peak, where he cultivated.

"Little Linlin~."

Jiang Lin had just landed when a woman in a white muslin butterfly dress rushed up to hug him.

"Master, behave yourself, behave yourself."

Jiang Lin wanted to push her away, but he just couldn't.

"It's okay, it's okay. Little Linlin, you're not hurt, are you?"

The woman raised her head in Jiang Lin's arms. Her eyes rippled like the autumn waters, her delicate face without a single flaw, and her snow-brushed eyelashes made him want to pluck down a few with each blink.

"It's fine, but if you keep hugging me like this, Master, I'm going to suffocate."

"Ah… sorry."

The woman named Jiang Yuni was reluctant to let go, and she straightened out his collar in the process.

"Hey, Master, these are the four Dragon Veins I found in the mystic realm during my recent trip, so you should hurry up and turn them in, and you should be able to complete your target for this year."

After taking a breather, Jiang Lin took the four Dragon Veins out of his storage ring, and spirit energy floated across the entire summit of Twin Pearl Peak.

The Sun and Moon Demon Sect had evil quotas for every one of its peaks, like system-given quests, or in layman's terms, performance indicators. If the performance indicator weren't up to par, then everyone on that peak would be held accountable, and the mountain peak could even be withdrawn, although Jiang Lin and Jiang Yuni were the only ones on Twin Pearl Peak.

Twin Pearl Peak was, after all, the only home he had in this world, and he couldn't lose it no matter what.

Twin Pearl Peak failed to meet the target for three years in a row; more specifically, it had no performance at all, and would be taken away on the fourth year, so Jiang Lin apologetically lurked in the Dragon Gate Sect to pay off his debt in one breath, and took back the four Dragon Veins.

Although he felt sorry, he could only pay it back later if he found any heavenly treasures.

"It really is a pure Dragon Vein. Its spirit qi is abundant, and it's thick and big, but Little Lin, did you really find it on your own? It's not good to steal things."

"Master, we're from a demon sect…"

"It still isn't good!"

"Well, I did find them."

"Really?"

"Yes! Really!"

The two looked at each other for three seconds, and Jiang Yuni cracked a smile. "I believe you."

Jiang Lin sighed in relief. Fortunately, his master was beautiful, fair-skinned, and foolish; she was relatively easy to fool.

Touching the four dragon-shaped (Jiang Lin felt that it looked more like a radish) Dragon Veins floating between them, Jiang Yuni sized them up for a while.

"Hey, Little Lin, we'll have to hide these four Dragon Veins well so we can help you break through to the Sea Gazing Tier when the time comes, and if you practice your fist techniques, it might even help you develop the guts of a pure martial artist— Ow… that hurts…"

Before Jiang Yuni finished, Jiang Lin flicked his master's little head. Jiang Yuni held her head in her hands while pouting like a little squirrel, her watery eyes aggrievedly looking at Jiang Lin from the bottom to the top.

"Master, what are you talking about? If the Dragon Veins are gone, our home will be gone. Forget it. I'll take it up myself later. Maybe we can apply for a little more funding; our house needs some repairs…" Jiang Lin sighed. "And I don't need this…"

"Eh? Don't be like that. It's okay for us to live in a thatched house. This Dragon Vein is perfect for you."

After saying that, Jiang Yuni stretched out her slender hand to put the Dragon Veins away. Fortunately, Jiang Lin got his hands on them and raised them high. The girl climbed on Jiang Lin, but she just couldn't reach them.

"Give me that."

"Nope."

"Give me that."

"Nope."

"I am the master."

"Master."

"Hmm?"

"The crows are coming."

"Hmm?"

"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale. A newspaper for a low-grade spirit stone. Newspapers for sale…"

At the top of Twin Pearl Peak, a giant crow that had been carrying a bamboo box cried out incessantly.

Putting away the Dragon Veins, Jiang Lin tossed a low-grade spirit stone high, and that crow took it and dropped a newspaper. "Thank you for your patronage… You're welcome to order next time."

"Little Lin sure does like to read the newspaper, after all?"

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at his master. "You must keep up with the times. What if they change?"

Receiving the newspaper, Jiang Lin didn't know why, but he couldn't help but feel uneasy. As expected, the moment he spread open the newspaper, a headline appeared in front of Jiang Lin's eyes.

"Breaking news! Why is the Dragon Sect's Senior Sister Fairy Lin Qingwan crying in the forest path, and why is she not speaking a word behind closed doors? Why has her cultivation fallen by two tiers? What has happened? Please take a look at the special column. We'll reveal Lin Qingwan's secrets…"

[Ding…]

He had just read half of the special column on the newspaper in his hand when the system dinged.

[Protagonist plot triggered: protagonist Lin Qingwan, born with a Holy Body, her dao heart has been damaged by you, and is expected to recover in three years. She will hate demon sects, and within 10 years, she will wipe out 90% of demon sects in Wutong. 11 years later, she will reach Wutong Province, and spend 10 years day and night killing you countless times. Finally, after scattering your ashes into the wind, she will prove her Way and ascend. Good luck!]

Suddenly, Jiang Lin felt himself shaking.

'Ascend after killing me countless times? And scattering my ashes to the winds? Senior Sister, are you a sadist?

'No! This can't happen! I have to end it before it starts, or else I'll die tens of thousands of times in 10 years, and each death will be painful, and I'll go crazy!'

"Little Lin, what's wrong? You didn't do anything bad, did you?" asked Jiang Yuni worriedly as she watched Jiang Lin break out in a cold sweat.

"Master, we are from a demon sect, specializing in doing bad things."

"No, I picked you up and raised you. You can't do bad things!"

"…"

In reality, his master wasn't originally like this, but was the type like a lofty and cold queen. However, seven or eight years ago, he accidentally snatched a girl's sugar-coated hawthorn stick during a training trip, and then a bunch of old men jumped out to protect the girl. To save him, his master was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and after she woke up, her temperament changed drastically.

But Jiang Lin quite liked his master's current personality.

'But… what will I do 10 years later… Sigh…'

"Don't worry, Master. I'm fine. I'll go ahead and turn in the Dragon Veins."

Although his master was naive and foolish, she was especially sensitive when it came to certain things. Afraid of being exposed, Jiang Lin formed a horse from spirit qi and flew off, thinking of a plan.

After arriving at the Sun and Moon Demon Sect quest completion point, Jiang Lin turned in his Dragon Veins, and applied for a lot of funding. His mind was heavy with thoughts on how to remedy the situation.

At this moment, in front of the Infamy Quest Bar, Jiang Lin suddenly saw a bright light!
