“You demonic cultivator, you’re still not trying to surrender!?”
An uncle with a national1-average-looking face pointed his sword with indignation at the two people on the edge of the cliff. To be precise, he pointed his sword at the person dressed in red-clothing and long black hair that fluttered in the air, the leader of the demonic sect.
Fu Yichen, who was hiding in the dark, didn’t know why the author gave the appearance of a bridegroom to the Third Male. Especially that bewitching face that reveals a ‘charming’ temperament. In the author’s original words, ‘The leader of the demonic sect’s gestures were so captivating, and the evil smile on his androgynous face was even more bewitching…’ So was this person a man or a woman? Fu Yichen was very curious. Could it be that the little girls in the author’s age group like… effeminate men? No discrimination or anything, just pure curiousity.
“That’s right! You demonic cultivator, you’ll also have a day like this day!”
“Today I will kill you, you demonic cultivator! For the sake of the world!”
“Damned demon, I can finally avenge my parents today!”
……
Dozens of martial artists quickly surrounded the cliff. All of them were either from the righteous faction or people who had a grudge against Mingyue. But they all had one thing in common, they were all intent on tearing this big demon into pieces. They surrounded him with a murderous aura.
“Hahahahaha~” The red-clothed demonic cultivator Mingyue suddenly burst out laughing. Even if there were dozens of martial artists standing in front of him, he still wasn’t taking them seriously. He was extremely arrogant.
In the author’s original words, ‘Mingyue’s red clothes fluttered in the wind, like a devil descending into the world. With an unbridled and charming smile that made Zi Mengyao2 fascinated…’ Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched, a charming smile? Fu Yichen tentatively thought that the author had improperly used some words. In such a life or death situation, the Female Lead still had the heart to act like a nympho!?
Just when Mingyue gave a ‘charming smile’, Fu Yichen could clearly see that the latter calmly pulled the Female Lead behind him and made a protective gesture. But at this time, he could also see the Female Lead looking at the back of Mingyue’s head, acting all demented. This plot really was amazing.
“A group of self-righteous hypocrites, are you worthy of talking to benzuo3?” Mingyue sneered with disdain on his face and eyes full of irony.
“You daring demonic cultivator, don’t go too far!”
“Looking for death, you can only talk big!”
“Everyone, don’t be afraid. Let’s go together.”
“Yes, let’s go together. Let’s kill him!”
……
One sentence completely ignited the enemy’s fighting spirit. Fu Yichen hid in the dark and watched with relish.
After Leng Qianshang had asked for leave and left the other day, Fu Yichen continued to stay in the palace and enjoyed the treatment given to the world’s supreme leader. But he also secretly sent someone to follow the trail of the Male and Female Lead leaving the capital and reports were sent to him from time to time.
When the Male lead had some private actions to do, the guards were unable to follow him for some reason and Fu Yichen didn’t force them too. After all, he was not the real Xuanyuan Canye. The ending of Xuanyuan Canye had long been decided by the author. Jiangshan was destined to belong to the Male Lead, so Fu Yichen only needed to work hard and not die in the end. Besides, his main purpose was to just reverse the ending. Not change the tragic ending of the Second Male. So Fu Yichen didn’t take the little actions of the Male Lead to heart.
Probably because he was staying out of the way, Fu Yichen always felt like he was watching this illusory world as an outsider.
This continued until he got the news not long ago that the Female Lead and Mingyue had reached Qinshan, which was the place where the martial arts conference would be held. This place happened to be the place where the cliff fall incident would take place. So Fu Yichen rushed from the capital non-stop, just for what was going to happen today.
“Hmph, is this what you call justice of the righteous sects?” Mingyue sneered, “Tsktsktsk, to bully and make it difficult for a young ignorant youth? You’re all very kind!” Mingyue’s eyes were full of irony.
Admittedly, apart from being naïve under the author’s inexplicable descriptions, the Third Male’s performance was still very good. But Fu Yichen couldn’t help but laugh at the words ‘ignorant youth’. He might be an ignorant youth, but he’s not confused.
“Don’t talk nonsense you demonic cultivator! Let’s go, everyone. Kill him!” As soon as those words were dropped, a group of people got so stimulated that they rushed up towards the two at the edge of the cliff. In an instant, swords and shadows mingled. The Third Male in red fluttered while trying to protect the Female Lead.
Admittedly, at the beginning the Third Male was at a disadvantage. The two sides had already fought before they were forced to the cliff. But because there were so many people on the other side and he was distracted by the Female Lead, he was not only injured but was also forced to run to live. When they reached the cliff, there was an endless abyss below them. But under such circumstances, the Third Male still blindly stimulated others and acted sarcastic as if he was invisible. It was strange that people wouldn’t want to hack him to death. Of course, to be precise, such a brainless setting was still included in the author’s plot.
It can be said that the fight was very intense. The Third Male tried to pull the Female Lead out of the siege several times, but was forced back. He was slashed more than once to protect the Female Lead. His blood blended into his red clothes, making it impossible to distinguish between his own blood or clothes. The Female Lead, who was said to be the top assassin of the world’s most mysterious assassin organisation, hid behind the Third Male all the way and screamed her head off. What’s the use of giving her an assassination background setting?
However, although the Female Lead dragged down her teammate, the willing Third Male had a rare chance to gain a good impression. Fu Yichen could hear the system prompts that kept popping up in his mind.
[The favorability of the Female Lead towards the Third Male +1]
[The favorability of the Female Lead towards the Third Male +2]
……
[The total favorability of the Female Lead towards the Third Male is 45]
In the blink of an eye, the favorability points rose from the initial 27 to 45 and Fu Yichen’s mind suddenly flashed. If the Female Lead fell in love with the Third Male, wouldn’t it be the best ending for everyone?
At this moment, he heard a scream which came from the Female Lead. Fu Yichen looked up to see that the Female Lead was suddenly separated from the Third Male and forced towards the edge of the cliff. A man was trying to get close to her.
In the original plot, the Third Male began to gradually be at a disadvantage and was quickly separated from the Female Lead. It was obvious that the Female Lead was the weakness of Mingyue. The others didn’t want to give up on this opportunity to subdue the leader of the demonic sect. So they directly shot at the Female Lead. In order to not drag down the Third Male, the Female Lead kept retreating. But she stepped back till the edge of the cliff and then stepped on air… She almost fell and was stunned.
“Zi Gongzi4, be careful!” Mingyue had to worry about the Female Lead while defending against the attacks of dozens of people. Of course, this Zi Gongzi… is the Female Lead disguised as a man once more. The whole world is probably mentally retarded regardless of their gender… They weren’t able to see through the ‘disguise’ of the Female Lead.
The Third Male’s eyes were said to be sharp. Was his sight blinded by true love?
When a black-cladded swordsman saw that the Female Lead had no way to retreat, he sneered and tried to grab her directly.
“Don’t come here!” The Female Lead panicked, “Believe it or not, I’ll jump!”
“Zi-guniang5, don’t mess around. Ugh…” Mingyue was in such a hurry that he blurted out ‘Zi-guniang’. Other people weren’t deterred by the Female Lead’s actions and instead her actions frightened her teammate instead. It even caused her teammate to be stabbed again.
The black-clothed swordsman grabbed the Female Lead by her shoulders and pulled her over. But just when he was about to use the Female Lead to threaten Mingyue, a strong roar came from the sky. The strong momentum instantly enveloped the audience, making everyone present freeze.
“Let go of her!”
Fu Yichen looked up and saw Leng Qianshang who was dressed in white. His silver hair fluttered in the sky above the area where they were fighting. His aura was impressive and his eyes were cold. This was Leng Qianshang who was without his disguise as a waste. There was also a horse not far away. It was obvious that Leng Qianshang had flown over directly from a distance by using Qinggong6
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Qianshang flicked his long sleeves and slowly descended not far from the Female Lead and the black-clad swordsman. At the same time, a long sword in his hand swept through the area with a murderous aura. His eyes stared straight at Zi Mengyao, who was being held by the swordsman in black and then he spoke again, “I’ll say it one more time, let her go.”
Faced with the momentum and majesty shown by Leng Qianshang, the swordsman in black unconsciously shrank back. The people present currently were not ordinary people in the martial arts world. However, with Leng Qianshang’s momentum and the lightness of his martial arts, they naturally understood that his skills were much better than theirs. So unconsciously, everyone present began to be on guard against him, especially the black-clothed swordsman.
Fu Yichen had to raise his eyebrows in appreciation. Leng Qianshang’s appearance was different from usual. The Leng Qianshang who didn’t need to disguise himself was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.
Of course, the corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched at the thought of the author’s description of this passage in the original text.
‘Suddenly, like a ray of divine light that illuminated the earth, like a god descending from the sky, his long silver hair flowing in the wind made him seem like a fairy… Zi Mengyao went crazy.’ The Female Lead almost fell off the cliff and into the abyss because of how distracted she was.
Those upright and righteous people from the jianghu were, ‘With a foolish face they looked at him, he seemed like a fairy descending to the world. They had never seen such a beautiful face. Even the most beautiful woman in the world couldn’t compare to him…’ Fu Yichen felt as if the earth was going to split any time soon. First of all, men are not creatures who will drool over a good-looking face. Moreover, ordinary men wouldn’t have this sort of reaction when they see a very good-looking man.
What Fu Yichen really wanted to complain about was the Male Lead’s unique long silver hair and beauty that’s supposedly the only one in the world, which is the unique identifier of Qianwang Leng Qianshang. There are so many cultivators from the jianghu and yet none of them recognized him?
“Where did this evildoer come from? Mind your own business!” The black-robed swordsman snorted coldly after he recovered from his shock. Meanwhile, the others rushed forward without waiting for him to speak.
The black-clad swordsman didn’t expect that Leng Qianshang would coldly snort, raise his hand and rush toward him. The level of his skill seemed quite astonishing, he was even stronger than the big demon Mingyue.
Everyone was stunned once more, especially those facing Leng Qianshang who were stuck in a dilemma. Leng Qianshang pointed his sword at the black-clothed swordsman again coldly, “I’ll say it one last time, let her go!”
Fu Yichen raised his eyebrows. There were no problems with his lines. After all, they were set by the author. But the problem was that the hostage was still in the hands of the opponent. At this time, using such a tough attitude to stimulate others, wasn’t this just forcing others to jump over the wall7?
Fu Yichen calmly signalled at the masters behind him. Sure enough, the plot still can’t be avoided. When it’s time to fall off the cliff, they will still fall off the cliff. So all he can do is to stop the plot when it’s going to happen.
“Be sure to control these people.”
In the original text, after the black-clothed swordsman was stimulated, he pulled the Female Lead back all the way. Originally it was just to threaten Leng Qianshang, but Leng Qianshang had a tough attitude and didn’t want to compromise. As a result, both of them retreated more and more, slowly going towards the edge. They stepped on air and both of them fell. At this moment, Leng Qianshang flew over and grabbed the Female Lead’s hand.
In short, the black-clothed swordsman dragged the Female Lead, the Female Lead dragged Leng Qianshang and Leng Qianshang hung onto a stone on the edge of the cliff. The three of them were linked together and hanging on the cliff.
In fact, as long as Leng Qianshang used his unparalleled Qinggong at this time, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to bring the two people up. But the author’s logic suddenly died at this time and he couldn’t do it.
At this time, the Third Male rushed over. He didn’t care about the two men that were hanging. Instead, he wanted the woman hanging in between the both of them.
So the Third Male grabbed Leng Qianshang’s hand. But faced with such a good opportunity, how could the dozens of people that wanted him to die just watch? So… together with the black-clothed swordsman and the Third Male, the Male and Female Lead fell into the ‘abyss’.
Fu Yichen had already calculated everything. Based on his own Qinggong, when the Female Lead falls off the cliff, if he flew over from this direction it would be just in time for him to catch Leng Qianshang. As long as those masters that he brought with him could control those people from the jianghu, he had the time and ability to rescue the three of them.
However, what Fu Yichen didn’t count on was that he missed a person. More importantly, he forgot that this Mary Sue novel was not only dramatic but also full of dogblood.
For example, Mingyue is actually the illegitimate son of the previous Emperor. That is, he’s Xuanyuan Canye’s younger half-brother. Or the posthumous son of the person whose whole family was killed by Xuanyuan Canye’s vicious mother.
So, in the end, Fu Yichen not only failed to save people but also fell with them himself. At that moment, Fu Yichen wanted to thank the brain-dead author for the ‘King Kong body’ given to the protagonists. At least they wouldn’t die from this fall.
