Chapter 75: Being the Scapegoat Even Like This…

Lin Xun felt a bit regretful.

Mainly, he found it a bit hard to accept in his heart.

But looking at the cute sleeping face quietly resting on Chu Yaoyao’s lap—she was curled into a ball, hugging her snow-white fluffy tail in her arms.

And with that baby-fat little face and long eyelashes, not knowing what she was dreaming of, her little head nuzzled into Chu Yaoyao’s embrace.

Soon, Lin Xun let it go!

No matter how old she was, in his eyes, as long as she was a little fox girl, she could be pampered!

Feeling Lin Xun’s somewhat strange gaze, Chu Yaoyao subconsciously pulled Yaya closer into her arms, just like a mother quickly picking up her daughter when encountering a creepy uncle on the street.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem,” Lin Xun coughed awkwardly a few times. “Miss, you come from the Demon Race World, so how did you get involved with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect?”

“At that time, to escape the pursuit from the Demon Race World, my sister and I lived under assumed names and accidentally entered the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, becoming Disciples of the Qingxin Hall.

In the Qingxin Hall, my sister and I were safe. The hall was filled with female Disciples, so there was no inconvenience.

But then, twelve years ago.”

“Twelve years ago?”

“Yes.”

Mentioning twelve years ago, Chu Yaoyao’s fair and delicate fist clenched slightly.

“Twelve years ago, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect brought back a Genius, who is the Demon Son Lin Xun.”

Lin Xun: “???”

Wait, what does this have to do with me? I don’t remember seeing you before.

Chu Yaoyao continued:

“The talent displayed by Demon Son Lin Xun was too exaggerated. The Elders in the sect were worried that if Lin Xun grew too quickly, his spiritual energy would become unbalanced, leading to damage to his Dao and ultimately resulting in the failure of his Dao Integration.”

“Therefore, the Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect decided to have all the virgins in the Qingxin Hall practice the ‘Cauldron Marriage’ method, so that in the future, when Lin Xun needed to harmonize his spiritual energy through Yin and Yang, they would all be Cauldrons.

And the ‘Cauldron Marriage’ method was not lost; it is the supreme Secret Technique of the Qingxin Hall. It’s just that no one could successfully Cultivate it, and even more so, no one would be willing to be a Cauldron.

The Hall Master of the Qingxin Hall did not object. Perhaps she felt that if she could use this to get close to Lin Xun, the Qingxin Hall would benefit infinitely. Or perhaps she felt that no one could practice the ‘Cauldron Marriage’ method anyway, so there was no harm in trying.

I couldn’t refuse to practice, and I also thought I wouldn’t be able to master the Secret Technique.

But unexpectedly, on the first day, just by memorizing the Heart Mantra, I had already reached the beginner level of the Cauldron Marriage method. I didn’t even have time to hide it.

As a result, after that, I was marginalized from the Qingxin Hall, practicing as Lin Xun’s Cauldron. Ultimately, what I had to do was let that Lin Xun come and pluck me!”

“…” Listening to Chu Yaoyao’s narrative, Lin Xun felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart!

He had never heard of this!

No one had ever mentioned it to him.

Oh right, his affairs were usually handled by Su Ying. Su Ying should know, but why didn’t she tell him?

“I couldn’t not Cultivate, as that would only attract the attention of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. So I once tried my best to slow down my Cultivation speed. But strangely, my Realm rose involuntarily, faster and faster! It wasn’t until the Nascent Soul Realm that a Bottleneck appeared.

But I know that even so, a Nascent Soul Realm is more than enough to be Lin Xun’s Cauldron.

But no matter what, I possess the Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and am a descendant of the Demon Race World’s imperial family. How could I become someone else’s Cauldron!”

Chu Yaoyao took a deep breath and showed a relatively relaxed smile.

“Just as I was starting to plan how to send my sister away and then fight to the death with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, a little girl found me.”

“Hmm?” Lin Xun vaguely guessed who this little girl was.

Then, Chu Yaoyao’s words confirmed Lin Xun’s suspicion:

“She had a head of cherry-pink long hair, neatly kept, just reaching her waist. It was very beautiful.

Although she was only eleven or twelve years old, her chin was already pointed, and her skin was delicate and smooth. She was already a beauty in the making. Even I felt that this girl would surely be a devastating beauty in the future.

She told me her name was Su Ying, and then asked me to go to Luo City to act as a Hidden Pawn for the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, monitoring every move of the Zilin Holy Land.

I naturally agreed. From then on, I planned to leave the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, but as it is one of the Four Great Demonic Sects, I didn’t dare to act rashly.

Until later, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect seemed to have forgotten about me… and I also broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm Late Stage.

I was planning to break ties with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect after a while, but I didn’t expect that they would suddenly find me.

I suspect that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect found Lin Xun, so they want to take me back to let Lin Xun harvest me to heal his injuries!”

As she spoke, Chu Yaoyao’s chest heaved with anger:

“What Demon Son! Relying on Harvesting others to attain the Dao! What kind of Dao is he attaining?! That Lin Xun had better pray this girl doesn’t find an opportunity! Otherwise, I will definitely make him kneel beneath me and beg for mercy!”

“…”

Lin Xun’s expression was a bit awkward.

He really didn’t expect to be the scapegoat even like this.

But then again, his reputation was already bad as it spread around. Since Miss Chu was forced to be a Cauldron by the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, she naturally assumed it was ‘Lin Xun’s order.’

“I roughly understand the situation. Don’t worry, Miss Yaoyao, I will go find the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.”

Lin Xun sighed softly, planning to write a letter to Su Ying, asking her to let them go and not do such things in the future.

But as soon as Lin Xun finished speaking, Chu Yaoyao’s face turned slightly pale: “Young Master Lin, don’t!”

“Hmm?”

“Yaoyao knows that the Young Master’s Realm is extremely high, but the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is one of the Four Great Demonic Sects in the world, with even an Ascension expert backing them! It’s not worth it for the Young Master to do this for Yaoyao.”

“No, it’s not what Miss Chu thinks.”

Lin Xun knew she thought he was going to risk his life against the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. Lin Xun wanted to explain, but he couldn’t exactly say he was Lin Xun.

“It is exactly what Yaoyao thinks. Young Master has already saved Yaoyao and her sister, and has even stayed by our side. Young Master has already done enough!”

“No, it’s really not enough. I just want you to be well.”

“…” The two in the courtyard fell into silence at the same time.

“Ah, no—” Seeing Chu Yaoyao’s slightly red cheeks and her shy, lowered head, Lin Xun also realized his words were ambiguous. “What I meant was—”

“Young Master… Young Master doesn’t need to say more. Yaoyao knows.”

“Huh? You know?”

“Yes…”

Chu Yaoyao looked up, lightly bit her red lip, and looked at Lin Xun shyly, her eyes filled with moisture.

“But Yaoyao has one more condition.”

“Condition?”

Chu Yaoyao stood up and said in a soft voice: “Yaoyao plans to head to the Demon Race World in the future. If the Young Master can promise to help take care of my sister, Yaoyao is willing to tutor the Young Master in foreign languages.”
