When he woke up it was midnight, and his body was a little weak. His dantian felt like it was stuffed into a small fireball, making his whole body warm.

“You woke up?”

The sound of the clear and beautiful voice was vaguely familiar.

His drowsiness immediately disappeared, and his half-lidded eyes shot open. Ye Zhizhou turned his head and looked to the side. He saw a handsome, white-haired and red-eyed man sitting on the bed, looking at him expressionlessly, and, more importantly, with no clothes on. Continuing on past that point, he also saw a totem-shaped mark on his forehead and animals ears on his head.

Wait, ears?

“Xiao Bai?”

The handsome guy's face darkened and his slender fingers extended to pinch Ye Zhizhou's face with some force. "Mortal, what did you call me?"

The strength of the grip on his face was not strong. Ye Zhizhou carefully examined his extremely white skin and gorgeous face. He mentally went through all of the names of his lover in various worlds. Finally, he decided to abandon his integrity and moved to kiss up to him, "Dear~”

The handsome man’s hand became stiff and then slowly withdrew. He looked away, nodding very coldly with aloof silence. However, the unconsciously flicking ears betrayed his shy and cheerful mood.

Ye Zhizhou’s heart was tickled, his hands felt itchy, and he couldn’t help but drool while leaning forward. He then suddenly hugged him, his hands sneaking behind his lover, full of perverse thoughts. “Dear, is your big tail still there?”

The ears of the handsome white-haired man instantly raised and became alert with his eyes attentive. He moved sideways and caught the sneaking hands behind him, turning over to press them down. His eyes narrowed slightly and his tone was dangerous, “What do you want?”

Ye Zhizhou looked at the beautiful face almost within his reach and didn’t care about the hands that were caught. He looked up and kissed him. His smile was so large that his teeth obscured his eyes. “I like this appearance of yours!” He originally thought he was a beast, but unexpectedly, he was still human! Thank the heavens, earth, all the gods and Buddhas!

The white-haired handsome guy's ears began to tilt back again. The fluffy tail behind him unconsciously shook. His eyes were still cold and indifferent, but his face gradually reddened, and he said suddenly, “Ji Huaijin."

“What?” Ye Zhizhou was struggling to peek at the big tail behind him, not paying attention to what he said.

Ji Huaijin paused and wordlessly hid his tail behind him and said again, “Ji Huaijin, it's my name.”

With no tail in sight, Ye Zhizhou regretfully looked away, and moved his eyes to Ji Huaijin's face. He frowned slightly after repeating his name. “I remember you previously mentioned the name 'Ji Quan', what happened? Also when I ran into you, why were you trapped? Are you a monster?”

“No.” Ji Huaijin's expression turned cold when he started speaking about the past. The Wuhun in the air seemed to perceive his emotions and began to stir up. “I was to be the thirty-second generation sacred sage of the Ji family, but I almost died from an ambush attack by Ji Quan.. Zhong Hua sacrificed his life in exchange for me to return. But he… Ji Quan saw that I was not dead, so he took advantage of the fact that I had not recovered and sealed me in a cave outside the Imperial City in the misty mountains.”

Heavenly Saint? Zhong Hua? Ye Zhizhou was surprised and widened his eyes. Heavenly saints, as the name implies, are natural saints. The moment they're born, they are already on the holy path to become a heavenly saint. These talents are incredibly rare, and it can take hundreds of years for one to be born! A genius among geniuses! There is also the case of Zhong Hua; wasn’t that the name of the demon? Used as a sacrifice, how did this happen? If Zhong Hua is dead, who is the demon emperor that killed the protagonist's children in the original plot? Is it the Ji Huaijin in front of me?

There is too much information, and he feels a little confused. There are questions piling up in his mind, but he doesn’t know what to ask.

Ji Huaijin saw him staring at him blankly with wide eyes, and his ears twitched. He could not help but bow his head to kiss his forehead, before turning over and tugging him into his arms, rolling his tail around him to protect him. In his red eyes, a bit of warmth could be seen seeping out. “After sleeping for a hundred years, I ordered the Shi Hun^[1] beast to guard the door and help me find an existence with a strength that matches mine to help me escape from the seal but I didn't expect… it did help me find you, but you're unexpectedly so weak. "

Ye Zhizhou instantly exploded, raising his hand to pinch his ear and grinded his teeth. “What do you mean? You're turning your back on me? Did I abandon you when you called me father before? You can’t be ungrateful!”

The tender expression on Ji Huaijin's face turned stiff. His body trembled sensitively before turning over again in shame and pressing him down. He bowed his head and kissed his lips, passing a thread of source power. He began to explain. "That's just because of forcefully breaking the seal, it was an automatic protective measure by my body… Your body is too weak, although your rank changed, you still need to consolidate. Close your eyes, and feel the energy changes in your body.” After that, he stretched out an unyielding hand and covered his round eyes.

This way of changing subjects is too obvious! Ye Zhizhou angrily grinded his teeth and deliberately arched into his arms with his hands and feet tightly entangled. Only when his body slightly warmed did he close his eyes.

Ji Huaijin's heart was made a mess by his hug. Seeing that the source power has begun to take effect, he hurriedly tried to breathe deeply to calm his mind. After confirming that there was no problem, he raised his hand over Ye Zhizhou's dantian, gathering his force onto his palm before slowly pouring it into his body.. It went through Ye Zhizhou's veins before carefully joining the power that had entered before.

His body was getting hotter and hotter. Ye Zhizhou only felt that there was one kind of mysterious energy and another kind of mysterious energy in the air that echoes the small fireball in his dantian, revolving around him and pulsating toward his body. The energy and spiritual power are somewhat similar. He unconsciously began to absorb the energy and tame it according to the method of cultivating spiritual power, and he absorbed into his body, over and over again.

Sensing his behaviour, Ji Huaijin's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. After closing his eyes and feeling the change of the Wuhun in the air, he couldn't help but smile and kissed the boy's forehead in his arms. He relaxed his body and let the exhaustion sweep through him.. He actually awakened this kind of heaven defying talent… It's good, then this youth can stay with him for a long time…

Cultivating is something that people can get addicted to, although Ye Zhizhou does not know that he is currently cultivating. When he pulled away from the mysterious realm, he collapsed and found that Ji Huaijin, who was lying next to him was replaced by the little beast who was biting his tail!

Perceiving the gaze on him, the little beast was pleasantly surprised when he turned his head. He eagerly ran over and jumped into Ye Zhizhou's embrace, licked him with his tongue and cheerfully called, “Dad!”

Why is it Dad again! Yesterday's big beautiful man seemed to have just been a fantasy! Ye Zhizhou held the little beast in front of him, eyes to eyes, nose to nose, gnashing his teeth in anger, “Ji Huaijin! Don’t play around! Quickly change back!”

The little beast continued to extend his tongue out to lick, and wag his tail. “Dad! Like you! Kiss!”

“…” It's unimaginable that this little beast and last night's beautiful man were the same person. He's probably still dreaming.

The sun shone diagonally through the window and illuminated a strand of silver hair on the bed making it extremely visible. He stuffed the little beast into his arms, picked up the hair strand, rubbed it between his fingers before sighing sadly. He then looked at the sun outside the window, bowed his head to calculate the time, and became panicked.

“It’s over! The protagonist!”

The protagonist met the two beautiful sisters from the Jiang family on the morning of the third day, and then they **** at noon! It's already so bright outside…Please don't let him be too late! He quickly left the inn room and had Xiao Hei fly to the flower field outside the city. He opened the system information while he was on Xiao Hei's back and carefully read through it. Afterwards, he requested an entire bottle of Qingxin^[2]pills from Tongtian which he grinded into powder and then poured into a small spray gun he retrieved from the space, all while cursing his carelessness in his heart.

The flags of this world are very easy to pull with the right method, but the premise is not letting the protagonist and females leads meet! The protagonist’s cultivation method is very weird and seems to have a brainwashing and bewitching effect on people. Even if the female leads are extremely unwilling to be with the protagonist before any intimacy occurs, as long as they were done by the protagonist, their unwillingness would become desperate commitment! Therefore, the key point to pulling out the flag is to not let the scum male take advantage of the female leads, but now…he had messed up because of his carelessness!

The silhouette of the ancient Huatian tree where the three did it in the original story gradually appeared. He held the small spray gun in his hand, and after eating a pill to change his voice, he mixed his spiritual power into his voice and shouted loudly. "You beast! Let go of those two girls!" Originally he had planned to ambush him but now, since the timing has changed, he can only do this upfront!

“Who is it?!”

It's the scum male's voice!

“Ah… save us… let, let go of my little sister… ngh…”

Fuck, it's the voice of the female lead! It sounds like something's wrong!

He quickly took out a Yi Rong pill to disguise himself as an old man, and he patted Xiao Hei. “Quickly roar, as fierce as you can, and make it loud!”

Xiao Hei wagged his tail, obediently raised his head and let out an earth shaking roar that almost deafened the unprepared Ye Zhizhou.

“…Well done! When we go back, I'll give you a snack”

Xiao Hei delightfully let out an "awoo" .

Thinking that it was a fun game, the little beast also wagged his tail, and roared in a tender little voice before turning around to look expectantly at Ye Zhizhou.

“Don't butt in, go back to sleep.” Ignoring the little beast he pressed him back into his arms. Taking out his spray gun, he randomly sprayed at the old tree close to him. He also threw a few stinky eggs. As he threw these eggs, he yelled, “You damn scum male! Let go of the younger sister!”

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

Did he manage to hit the older sister? It seems that the scum man hasn't succeeded yet!

He was startled before quickly throwing down a few more stinky eggs. Then he carefully focused his spiritual power around his body and continued to provoke him. “Why don’t you come out, you scum male! Do you have so little courage that you're scared now? You have the courage to do bad things but no courage to appear?!”

“Where did this annoying bug come from?!” Lian Yizheng finally emerged from the cover of the huge canopy. His clothes were a mess and he was also holding an unconscious beautiful girl with evil intentions written all over his face, "Mind your own business, fuck off!"

Ye Zhizhou was angered to the point where the whites of his eyes could be seen. The protagonist of this world is rotten to the point where it couldn't be concealed! Still acting so righteous and self confident while doing this kind of atrocious act. Even with this behavior of his, he still can get so many little brothers? The people in this world all have problems with their brains! Too lazy to talk back to him, he took out the spray gun, aimed at the slag man and continued spraying. He also ordered Xiao Hei to fly in a circle around him.

With this many Qingxin pills, it's not over until he sprays the protagonist into a eunuch!!

Lian Yizheng sneered upon seeing this, raised a shield and sent the unknown powder back with disdain. "What a cowardly scoundrel, you think I would be fooled by these childish tricks? What kind of skill is hiding behind a beast? Get down here! “

Wuhun actually had this kind of use? It's much better than his spiritual powers! Ye Zhizhou indignantly put away the spray gun, bowed his head and wildly searched his space, trying to find something that could hurt the protagonist.

[Danger to host's life detected.Does host want to receive the mission reward, a Huan Hun pill, in advance?]

Why is his life in danger?

Before he could understand, a violent force suddenly came at him from behind. Some of it was blocked by his spiritual power, but it still hit the middle of his back! He felt pain in his chest and abdomen, his throat started to ache. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face quickly paled.

His spiritual power began to surge violently, he took out a pill and ate it, his gaze becoming cold. This damned world where power is everything and laws don't exist so human life is as important as a strand of grass! It's a miracle that this world hasn't collapsed yet!

The little beast nestled in his arms was splashed by the blood he spat out. His red pupils shrank and the totem mark on his forehead flashed with a golden light.

“It turned out to be some 9th level Black Rank trash.” The attack had succeeded without any extra effort, letting the fear in his heart immediately subside. He carelessly threw the unconscious girl to the ground and pulled out a sword as he raised his head to look up at the motionless Xiao Hei in the sky. "I've never seen a monster like this before, if you're not willing to leave, then you can both stay here forever!”

The violent force once again came charging straight towards them. Just as Ye Zhizhou was preparing to use his spiritual power to turn the protagonist into a fool, regardless of mission rules, a black fog suddenly emerged from Xiao Hei's body. It then quickly surrounded them, swallowing the attack from the protagonist.

What happened?

“A Shi Hun beast?!” Lian Yizheng's complexion greatly changed, looking terrified by the sky shrouded in black fog. Grinding his teeth, he reluctantly looked at the unconscious girl on the ground before finally running away without looking back.

The black fog dissipated. Ye Zhizhou wiped the blood from his lower lip and his mouth tightened. “Xiao Hei… you seem to be very powerful…”

Xiao Hei wagged his tail, cheerful and joyfully calling out a few "awoo" sounds. The little beast who was nestled in the arms of Ye Zhizhou also shook his tail, and the light coming from the totem mark on his forehead dimmed. He yawned, and snuggled deeper into Ye Zhizhou's arms before closing his eyes and going to sleep.

A girl wearing a green skirt staggered out from behind the tree, rushing over to the side of the unconscious girl, before turning to face Xiao Hei who was still in the air. She knelt and choked out between sobs, “Thank you benefactor, for rescuing us. If benefactor had not arrived in time, my sister and I may have already been…”

Ye Zhizhou patted Xiao Hei to indicate that he should land. After landing, he helped the girl up, took out two pills, and handed it over. “Your bodies weakness is probably because of an aprosodic drug. This is an antidote, eat it.”

Jiang Yue was so shocked by his appearance of white hair but childlike complexion that she took the pill and fed it to her sister in a daze. Then, as if remembering something, she lowered her head and blushed before asking in a whisper, "Benefactor…earlier… my appearance before… did..did you…"

“No no, I saw nothing.” Ye Zhizhou was a little embarrassed after she said this. He pointed to the old tree canopy and explained. “I was blocked by this. I didn’t see anything, so please don't worry."

Jiang Yue's flushed face improved after those words , and she awkwardly tugged at her sleeves in embarrassment. She smiled at him, and leaned over to carry her sister. She first introduced herself in a quiet voice before saying angrily, "My sister and I encountered a group of bandits that chased us before we met that man. I thought he could help me and my sister, but that person, after seeing that both my sister and I had been hit with the drug from the bandits, he actually, actually thought to… He truly is a beast under a human mask. If I see him again I'll castrate him!”

[The probability of Jiang Yue falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 0%. Congratulations to the host for removing the first flag, may the host persist in his efforts.]

“…” This flag is so easy to pull out. He hasn’t even done anything yet. Even the most basic provoking speech hasn't been spoken yet… it's so fast he found it a little unbelievable.

The girl in Jiang Yue's arms finally woke up and she first looked around in confusion. She ignored Ye Zhizhou and the two beasts, and held onto Jiang Yue while crying. “Sister, what should I do? My innocence is gone… wuwu, I don’t want to marry that man, I just want to be with Sister…"

“Xiao Yun don't worry, that beast didn't succeed!” Jiang Yue helped Jiang Yun wipe her tears, then bowed her head and kissed her forehead, her eyes tender. “I also just want to be with you. Don’t cry, our benefactor is still watching.”

"Really?" Jiang Yun stopped crying and grabbed Jiang Yue's sleeve questioning her again, "Sister, nothing happened to me? Then, can I still continue to like big sister, and not get married someone else?"

Jiang Yue smiled apologetically at Ye Zhizhou, then gently touched her sister’s face. “Yes, my family's Xiao Yun can do whatever she wants to in the future.”

“Ah! Thank god! Sister, I love you!”

[The probability of Jiang Yun falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congratulations to the host for removing the second flag, may the host persist in his efforts.]

Ye Zhizhou: “…”

Jiang Yue helplessly patted the sister in her arms, her eyes were full of love and helpless pampering. “En, you're already this old and you're still acting spoiled.This clingy personality of yours, I don’t know which boy will be willing to marry you in the future.”

“I don’t want anyone else anyway!” Jiang Yun hugged Jiang Yue tighter and snuck a glance at Ye Zhizhou. The possessiveness in her eyes were so strong that it practically leaked out . “I don’t care, I don’t want to marry anyone, and Sister is not allowed to marry either!”

The innocent Ye Zhizhou that was glared at, "…." He seems to have discovered something terrible…

Numbly opening the plot information, his eyes stopped on the two sentences of "Jiang family adopted a woman named Jiang Yue” and “Jiang Yun is very dependent on her sister Jiang Yue, always eating and sleeping together”. He quietly swallowed down a mouthful of blood.

Suddenly, he became incapable of looking at the two sisters and the protagonist's threesome in the original plot - it's like a porn book.

After sending the Jiang sisters to Lancheng safely, he continued his journey with a complex feeling of picking up a meat pie then conveniently watching a big show. Chasing the protagonist, he flew in the direction of Cangzhou.

[Changes in the plot detected. Host, please receive the new plot.]

Plot changes? He opened the plot information in confusion. “Tongtian, isn't the plot fixed? How can it change?”

[Whether the plot changes depends on how strong the protagonist is.]

Is that so? He frowned slightly and turned his attention to the new plot.

The beginning content is no different from before, but in the part where the protagonist saves the Jiang sisters and then ****, there was a change. It turned into a situation where the protagonist was unable to save anyone and was instead injured by an evil person. The protagonist accidentally enters a village called Tao Yuan deep in the mountains while escaping. In that small village he then had a deep and meaningful encounter with the beautiful clan leader…

[Warning. the removed second flag has been restored. Transferred to the soul of Wang Lian. Please take note, host..]

Ye Zhizhou was stupefied. Even if the plot changed, how could the pulled out soul flag be restored and transferred to others?!
