There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions Of Starting A Harem Chapter 69

After the brief exchange the group dispersed and Hong Yin and Ji Mengxue returned to the college to investigate Lian Yizheng's activities.  Ao Feng took the letter with her and went home to discuss it with her parents. Ye Zhizhou closed the shop and accompanied Lian Hua back to the temple's branch in Cangzhou.

As he pa.s.sed by the main hall of offerings he stopped abruptly. His gaze went past the servants and landed on the murals of the main hall's walls, and he unconsciously held the little beast in his arms tighter.

“What's wrong?” Lian Hua turned around to look at him.

“Nothing.” He looked away, rubbed the camouflage talisman hanging on the neck of the little beast, and his heart felt a bit calmer. He changed the topic and said, “Tell me more about Hua Yan's health situation."

After hearing him mention Hua Yan, Lian Hua's attention quickly s.h.i.+fted as expected. She continued to lead him and quickly explained,  “Xiao Yan's weakness is congenital, and she cannot be exposed to the cold or consume nouris.h.i.+ng supplements. She can only be carefully nurtured. When she was two years old, she was tested to have a Sky Rank talent and a Pure Spirit body. A Pure Spirit body is different from that of a Pure Wu body. The more she practices, the worse her const.i.tution becomes. Finally, she had no choice but to give up cultivating and became an ordinary person. More than ten years have pa.s.sed and, although she has not been cultivating, her const.i.tution is still getting poorer day by day. We have tried all kinds of methods, they were all useless…She's already suffered so much and that Lian Yizheng still dares to think of using her, d.a.m.n it! ”

Const.i.tution becoming poorer? Ye Zhizhou had some guesses in his mind. Quickly appeasing her with a few words, and after questioning the system a bit, he came up with an idea.

Changing into the temple attendant clothing brought by Lian Hua, he picked up the little beast who was especially sleepy today and followed Lian Hua to the mansion of the Lord of Cangzhou in the south of the city.

The city lord had other business to attend to, so he was not there. They were greeted by the housekeeper and taken directly to the small courtyard where Hua Yan lived.

“Lian Hua, you came!” A beautiful young girl with a pale complexion came out from behind the door and threw herself into Lian Hua's arms joyfully. Her voice was soft and sticky, while her tone was sweet and naive. “I heard the temple will offer sacrifices in a few days, I thought you would not come to see me these days.”

“There's always time to visit you.” Lian Hua touched her hand. After determining it wasn't too cold, her expression relaxed. She led her to the room and asked in a warm voice, "Why did you get out of bed today? Did you take your medicine like you're supposed to these two days?

“Laying down all the time is so boring. Today, father sent me a new medicine. The effect is better than the previous ones. I thought it would be ok, so I got out of bed.”  Hua Yan stuck to Lian Hua's body while quietly telling her what happened these days with a happy expression and eyes full of joy.

Ye Zhizhou poked the small mirror in his pocket and turned on the scanning function.

After sitting down in the small living room, Lian Hua let Hua Yan send the servants away. The smile on her face dimmed and she asked seriously, “Xiao Yan, do you remember the letter I asked you to get for me last time?”

“I do.” When Hua Yan saw her serious face, the joy in her eyes turned to worry. She leaned over to grab her hand and asked, “What's wrong? Did my father find out that I sent you the letter and has been making things difficult for you?

Lian Hua took her hand, patted it soothingly and shook her head, “No, I came here today to talk to you about the person mentioned in that letter."

“That evil murderer?” Hua Yan frowned, “Wasn't that man already caught?”

"Who told you that the man was already caught?"

“Father told me when he brought the medicine over today,” Hua Yan hugged her arm and this time she soothed her, “Don't worry Lian Hua. The bad guy has been caught, no more girls will be harmed.”

Lian Hua's expression became ugly after she heard these words and she couldn't help turning her head to look at Ye Zhizhou.

Ye Zhizhou, who just received the results of the system's scanning, also had an ugly expression. He stepped forward and picked up a small porcelain bowl beside the tea tray on the table. He asked, “Miss Hua Yan, did you use this bowl? What was in it?”

Hua Yan did not know him, but seeing that he came with Lian Hua she answered sincerely,  “That bowl contained the newly prescribed medicine that Father brought over today.”

“Is there something wrong with the medicine?” Lian Hua immediately became nervous and asked impatiently, “What did you find out, little boss? Xiao Yan will be okay, right?"

“Fortunately, you didn't drink too much of it.” Ye Zhizhou put down the bowl and explained, “The little beast I'm raising is very sensitive to the scent of poison. Just after we entered the room he became agitated, so I paid a little more attention… Miss Hua Yan, after drinking this medicine, did you at first feel sleepy but actually couldn't fall asleep at all? And then, after about an hour later, the sleepiness disappears and you become much more energetic ?

Hua Yan nodded her head in a daze, “Y-yes, it's like that…”

As expected… He took out the medicine that Tongtian had given to him. He warmly said, “This is a Qingdu pill. Take it with some warm water. You will feel like vomiting within twenty minutes after you eat it. Don't panic, just spit it out.”

Hua Yan was a bit hesitant, but Lian Hua directly took the medicine. After pouring some warm water she set it in front of Hua Yan and tried to coax her, “Xiao Yan, this person is my friend, he won't harm you. Be good and take the medicine.”

Hua Yan looked at her and then at Ye Zhizhou. She moved her lips but said nothing. After suppressing her doubts, she obediently took the medicine. Ten minutes later, she rushed behind the screen as she covered her mouth.

Lian Hua looked at the medicine bowl on the table with an uncertain look on her face, her fingers were clasped so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"That medicine contained the essence of Lian Yizheng's Wuhun in it.” Ye Zhizhou poured a cup of tea and set it in front of her. He handed her a red pill, “After Miss Hua Yan vomits, her body will be weaker than usual. You can give this to her, it will make her feel better.”

“Lian Yizheng!” Lian Hua gnashed her teeth in anger, “I want to tear him to pieces!”

Ye Zhizhou set the medicine in front of her. He turned to look in the direction of Lord's mansion's front door, and sighed, “We must find the city lord and carefully discuss this with him, he may have been deceived by Lian Yizheng.” Otherwise, a man who loves his daughter like his own life would not feed his daughter 'poison'.

Two days later, Hong Yin's side sent over the news that they saw Lian Yizheng heading towards the city lord's mansion. Upon receiving this information, Ye Zhizhou and Lian Hua immediately left for the city lord's mansion and had a brief discussion with the city lord, Hua Lian.

Lian Yizheng, who finally got rid of his family's old fogy, came to the city lord's mansion with a heart full of joy. He kept fantasizing about how he would repair his body after he finished absorbing the Pure Spirit body. From time to time, his eyes flashed with traces of greed.

The city lord, Hua Lian, smiled as he came out to greet him. After politely exchanging pleasantries, he started thanking him, saying, “The medicine that Young Master Lian sent a few days ago indeed was extremely effective. My daughter has been in good health these days. I really don't know how to thank you.”

“City Lord need not be so polite.” Lian Yizheng appropriately showed a modest smile and answered, “It's my honor to be able to help the lord, but the prescription needs to match the condition of the person's body and has to be adjusted from time to time… This time, I took the liberty to come here. Would it be inconvenient for Miss Hua Yan to let me take a look at her pulse?"

Hua Lian glanced at him deeply. The smile on his face becoming more sincere. He gladly agreed and turned to take him to Hua Yan's little courtyard.

The closer they got to the courtyard, the more excited Lian Yizheng became. His breathing became slightly erratic. Hua Lian, who had his back to him, noticed this and his expression became darker and darker. There were several times that he almost couldn't resist turning around and immediately chopping up this b.a.s.t.a.r.d who dared to covet his daughter.

The two people finally arrived at the house door. Hua Lian pushed open the door and took the lead to go in. Lian Yizheng did not suspect him and also walked in. Finally, he could not help showing an eager smile on his face. When Hua Lian saw it from the corner of his eye, his hands curled into a tight fist. He then led him into the inner room with a cold face, saying, "My daughter is inside. I still have some business so I won't be going in. Young Master Lian, please." After saying this he immediately turned around and left without giving the other person a chance to speak.

Lian Yizheng, who's heart was full of antic.i.p.ation of restoring his body, did not notice Hua Lian's weird behavior at all. After a rushed ceremonial fist, he entered the inner room with a terrible glint in his eyes. The Wuhun in his body became restless as if getting ready to rush out to absorb all energy from anything he touches.

Hua Lian, who was only a step away from Saint Rank, was acutely aware of this sickening force. In his heart he became more convinced of what Ye Zhizhou had told him before. He turned around, quickly went to the side of the house and stood beside Ye Zhizhou. He sincerely said, “Thank you little boss for your warning! I was actually deceived by this wicked thing, it was truly foolish of me!"

“City Lord was simply blinded by your love for your daughter, " Ye Zhizhou casually said a few words to console the city lord and then made a gesture towards the roof where Hong Yin and others were waiting. He pulled out the bricks in front of him that had been previously loosened and took a look at the situation inside. Beckoning Xiao Hei over, he told him, “Send the negative qi into the room. Don't let it get outside the room, understand?”

Xiao Hei quietly let out an "awoo", shook his fur and then obediently sent the negative qi into the room through the hole.

Hua Lian looked at the low-ranking Lingxi beast uncertainly with his brows knit. This little boss is mysterious in all aspects, even the Lingxi beast he raised is very different… As expected, he's an expert.

Stepping into the inner room, Lian Yizheng saw a delicate young maiden sitting at the window with her back towards him. He hurried to stabilize his restless Wuhun, while also trying to make it feel gentle. As he approached, he called out, “Miss Hua Yan?”

The delicate girl remained silent and motionless, as if she hadn't heard him.

Lian Yizheng felt uncertain and hastily increased his Wuhun output, his voice becoming more and more low-pitched, “Miss Hua Yan, I am Lian Yizheng, the doctor that the city lord invited over to check on your health, may I…”

“Doctor?” The delicate young maiden interrupted him. Pausing for a moment, she turned slowly and revealed a smile while asking quietly, “Young Master Lian, do you still remember me?”

The humble and polite expression on Lian Yizheng's face quickly turned into alarm when he saw the maiden's face. His Wuhun uncontrollably charged over, “Zhi Yuan?! Didn't you jump off the cliff and die?

“Ah yes, I died.” The young girl stood up and easily avoided his attack. She raised her hand to stroke her face and continued to ask faintly,  “Then, do you still remember this face?”

“Zh- Zhi Huan?!” Lian Yizheng could not help retreating. His eyes quickly filled with anger. Directly pulling out his sword, he slashed towards her while shouting angrily, “s.l.u.t! You dare to appear in front of me, I'll kill you!

[The probability of Hua Yan and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]

Ye Zhizhou glanced at the system prompt and then continued to play with the puppet in his hands, increasing the spiritual power attached to the puppet.

In the inner room, the delicate girl once again easily avoided Lian Yizheng's attack. With a sweep of her lifted sleeve, she suddenly appeared behind Lian Yizheng, and said in an icy tone, “Then, Lian Yizheng, it can't be that you already forgot this face.”

Lian Yizheng immediately backed away. When his gaze landed on the young maiden's withered and grey face, he was so scared his hands started to tremble, and he cried out loudly, “It was you who kept sticking to me! I didn't want to suck you dry. It was your own fault! You killed yourself! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!”

[The probability of Hua Yan and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]

Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied with the speed of the flag pulling and squinted his eyes as he laughed. In his heart, he fiercely praised Tongtian, who had considerately offered the puppets

Inside, the delicate young maiden had already gotten in front of Lian Yizheng. Her face changed once again, her tone becoming more grim, “What about me then? You and I are complete strangers and didn't have any grudges either. Why did you not leave my body in one piece?

Lian Yizheng shouted while covering his eyes, not looking at the young maiden's terrifying face. His expression gradually became more deranged. “Who told you to be an Earth Rank? It was you guys who forced me! You forced me!”

[The probability of Hua Yan and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, the sixth soul flag has been pulled out once again, congratulations to the host. Now testing mission completion… …]

[Test has failed…Starting/Loading the test again… ]

As soon as Ye Zhizhou saw this prompt he intuitively felt it was far from good, and promptly sent all his spiritual power into the puppet. In the room, the delicate young maiden's face became blank for a moment. She then turned her face into Ji Huaijin's appearance and walked up to Lian Yizheng's face and lowered her voice and asked, “Then Ji Quan, do you remember this face?”

Lian Yizheng's pupils suddenly shrank, turning slack for a second before gaining focus again, then his expression became severe and sinister. His body gained an imposing manner and he fiercely charged to attack the delicate young maiden. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and harsh,  “Ji Huaijin! Why haven't you died yet? I am the number one genius of the Ji's family! I am the most capable!

When the sword struck at the delicate young maiden who had Ji Huaijin's face, she did not attempt to dodge but instead faintly smiled at him and then dissipated quickly like mist.

Lian Yizheng's fierce attacks suddenly stopped, his pupils once again becoming slack before turning back to normal. His imposing manner dispersed and suddenly, he raised his hands to cover his eyes while roaring in pain. The Wuhun on his body also became hysterical and uncontrollably rioted in the room.

[Testing is completed, this world's mission is over. Congratulations to the host. Does Host want to enter the next world? ]

Ye Zhizhou let out a sigh of relief while wiping the cold sweat dripping from his forehead and selected no.

The little beast who was sleeping by his feet suddenly opened his eyes, the mark on his forehead lighting up with a bright golden light. Raising his head and letting out a long howl, he then ran into the flower shrubs and disappeared without a trace.
