Chapter 15: The Villain Senior Brother Goes Dark, the Unhinged Junior Brother Pretends to Be Blind [15]

"Senior brother..."

Ye Beiyu's repeated calls of "senior brother" made anyone's heart skip a beat, even making Bai Yan wonder if it really hurt that much.

He hugged Bai Yan's waist, gently nuzzling against him like some kind of canine, acting all clingy and coy.

Bai Yan looked down at Ye Beiyu, pausing for a moment, but with his plan in mind, he didn't end up pushing him away.

Ye Beiyu breathed in Bai Yan's scent, closing his eyes and hugging his waist even tighter, unable to suppress a smile.

This was the first time he had held and touched Bai Yan so intimately while the guy was awake.

He had thought the man would push him away—knowing how Bai Yan was, he'd definitely be disgusted and punished for this...

But Bai Yan did nothing, seemingly letting him get away with it.

Ye Beiyu figured Bai Yan's tolerance must be part of some scheme against him.

After all, he knew his senior brother way too well.

Ye Beiyu nuzzled again, a rare satisfied gleam in his eyes.

But this was enough—no matter what Bai Yan planned to do, even if he wanted to scheme or use him, he wouldn't say no.

But if he wanted to use him, then his dear senior brother would have to pay a price, of course...

Ye Beiyu was already planning what to do tonight, but as the ointment spread, the stinging pain faded into a cool, soothing sensation.

Ye Beiyu slowed down, suddenly feeling drowsy, his voice getting softer too.

"Senior brother...?"

And then it finally hit him that something was wrong, but the ointment had already kicked in—by now, resistance was useless.

Besides, he'd already mentally prepared himself, so he stayed obedient, lifting his head meekly.

Before he blacked out completely, Ye Beiyu only caught those eyes, which held a hint of a smile.

And Bai Yan, gently raising his hands to cup his face, his fingertips still smelling faintly of medicine.

The scent of the medicine drifted into his nose, a wave of drowsiness instantly washing over him, his eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

Ye Beiyu couldn't fight it and closed his eyes.

Watching the unconscious Ye Beiyu, Bai Yan clicked his tongue softly, letting out a "tsk."

[Host, what are you up to?]

717 was curious and excited, its round eyes sparkling with anticipation.

[Have you finally come around? You finally believe the male lead's into you, and you're gonna make a move?]

717 rubbed its hands together, getting more and more hyped as it spoke.

[Host, wait a moment! Let me go grab some stuff you'll need for this—since it's your first time, you...]

"717, is your main processor actually fried?"

Bai Yan cut 717 off with a retort, though his mind was already mulling over the possibility of using this system to get back to the Supreme God's space.

He picked Ye Beiyu up and set him on the bed, stopping at 717's words.

Bai Yan looked down and thought for a moment, then scrapped the idea of crushing 717 and getting a new system.

It wasn't easy to catch a system these days—even if its main processor seemed fried.

At least it could still bring him into these small worlds, cover for him, and take him back to the Supreme God's space.

If the main processor was broken, whatever—it wasn't important anyway.

Tsk... it was just a pity. After all the trouble of catching a system, it turned out to have a busted main processor.

Guess when the chance to switch systems came, he'd have to check it thoroughly first.

717: [...]

Maybe its main processor really was broken, or why else would it have thought Bai Yan had finally come around?

[If you're not gonna do those things to him, then why'd you drug him and knock him out?]

"Obviously... to give him a new face."

Bai Yan smirked slightly. 717 was about to say more when it watched him pull a bunch of stuff out of his storage pouch and start working on Ye Beiyu's face.

Then it watched as the person on the bed slowly turned into Bai Yan's spitting image.

Bai Yan looked at the face with a hint of satisfaction, then his gaze slid down to the man's pants, eyes narrowing.

717 was just about to ask why Bai Yan was doing this when the next moment, all it saw was a blurry mess of pixels.

717: [???]

Did Bai Yan just yank off Ye Beiyu's pants?

Bai Yan pulled out a set of his usual clothes, ready to change Ye Beiyu into them, but he went quiet, staring at what was in front of him.

For a moment, Bai Yan felt a mix of emotions, but he quickly got Ye Beiyu dressed and cast a spell.

When 717 came back online, it noticed a faint blush on Bai Yan's face. It asked curiously,

[Host, be real—what did you just do to the male lead?]

They'd been in this world for over a year, and 717 had been bound to Bai Yan just as long.

This was the first time it had seen Bai Yan like this—looking a bit embarrassed and annoyed, yet forcing himself to act calm.

"Nothing."

Bai Yan paused, then stared at the unconscious man on the bed, his gaze drifting from that face down to a certain spot, before he suddenly spoke:

"717, I remember the male lead doesn't have a canon love interest."

[That's right!]

717 nodded. Even though their department had only been set up recently, and the higher-ups had tried to get them to pair the male lead with the villain, they wouldn't go around breaking up canon couples—they only went for male leads without official love interests.

Bai Yan, upon hearing his reply, mused thoughtfully:

"In that case, it shouldn't be a problem if I were to cripple him, right? After all, I am the villain here."

717: [???]

He'd only been cut off by the mosaic for a second—what the hell had happened?

What could've put such a vicious thought in his host's head?

[Host, sweetie—no, wait, babe!]

717 hesitated, almost crying, desperately trying to talk Bai Yan out of those horrifying ideas.

[Let's talk this through. Messing with him is one thing, that's like training him, but you can't... at least you can't...]

Bai Yan averted his gaze and said indifferently, "I was just shooting my mouth off. Don't read into it."

717 grumbled, [That didn't sound casual at all...]

Bai Yan ignored him and started tidying up on his own, then propped Ye Beiyu up cross-legged, making it look like he was meditating with his eyes shut.

He took out the ointments from before, disguised himself as Ye Beiyu, and put on a regular disciple robe.

No one in the Spirit Mountain Sect cared about Ye Beiyu, and with the Divine Sword Sect's visit coming up, even less attention was paid to him.

Even if he passed by disciples of the Spirit Mountain Sect now and then, no one spared him a second glance.

Wearing Ye Beiyu's face, Bai Yan strolled down the mountain, then hurried toward Lanzhou City.

Once down the mountain, he switched his robes and face again—the Spirit Mountain Sect's disciple uniform, even the plain kind, was way too noticeable.

Bai Yan thought about Lanzhou City and felt a little thrill of excitement.

He'd meet the demons there, casually drop his identity, then go back and take out that Demon Sovereign!

In the original story, he was meant to be torn between the Cultivators and the demons, finally going dark after the Spirit Mountain Sect rejected him for his bloodline.

But now, he had no intention of bothering with all that—after all, he was gunning for the Demon Sovereign's spot.

What Bai Yan didn't know was that not long after he left, Ye Beiyu, who was supposed to remain unconscious for several days, slowly opened his eyes...
