There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Ye Zhizhou was alarmed. He called for the little beast but did not get a response. He quickly put away his puppet and turned to chase after the little beast.

[Warning. Test results have caused changes. Testing again… Test failed, restarting. The Soul Transferring Channel is temporarily closed. Host, please pay attention to safety. ]

The sudden light screen that popped up turned into an eye-piercing scarlet on black, giving him an ominous premonition. Ye Zhizhou suddenly stopped and looked back at the house where the protagonist was. He hesitated for a moment but gritted his teeth and continued to run in the direction of the little beast.

[Warning, mission testing has failed. Soul flag's status is pending. The protagonist’s soul is causing fluctuations, this small world may collapse at any time. Host, please stay alert! Please stay alert! ]

What the hell is that damn protagonist doing? Cursing under his breath, he stopped and turned to run back. While he ran, he pushed out Xiao Hei, who was following behind him, “Go! Catch up with Huaijin! Guard him, don’t let anything happen to him!”

Xiao Hei raised his head and let out a long howl. Suddenly, a thick black fog surrounded his body and he rapidly flew up leaving no tracks behind.

Hua Lian and the others were puzzled by his sudden inexplicable departure. When they saw him running back, one by one they came up to him and asked, “Little boss, what's wrong? Why did your little pet and mount run away?"

“Don't worry about it. First, let's go back and check on Lian Yizheng. His condition seems a bit abnormal.” Ye Zhizhou quickly went ahead of them and ran to the door to directly kick it open. He branched out his spiritual power and shouted loudly, “Lian Yizheng! Didn’t you want to kill Zhi Yuan to retaliate against Zhi Huan? I’m right here, do you dare to kill me!”

With his pupils still changing rapidly, Lian Yizheng’s body jolted before he bent down to pick up the sword on the ground. Raising his eyes to look at Ye Zhizhou fiercely, his wild Wuhun directly swept towards him, “Intentionally trying to mystify yourself! I killed you once and I can kill you again! Die!”

Hua Lian coldly scoffed and helped Ye Zhizhou block the attack as he unleashed his previously concealed killing intent. Not saying anything further, he took out his weapons and attacked Lian Yizheng, cunningly going straight for Lian Yizheng's lower body. Ao Feng and Hong Yin, who had both been restraining their hatred for so long, also joined the fight in succession. Lian Hua moved Hua Yan back a safe distance, so she would not be accidentally harmed by the chaotic energy from the battle area.

The besieged Lian Yizheng was stuck in a difficult situation and could only change from attacking to defending. His unstable expression became more and more firm and filled with hatred, "Zhi Yuan, when I become the highest rank Wu warrior, I'll have the horses tear you apart. And this group of ants, I won’t let any of you go!”

[Now testing mission completion. Attempting to open the soul transfer channel… Soul transfer channel failed to open. Soul flag status is still pending. The protagonist's soul is unstable. Host, please stay alert! Please stay alert! ]

Ye Zhizhou felt like he was about to fall apart, he really wanted to grab Lian Yizheng's neck and firmly strangle him for awhile. What kind of situation is 'soul flag status is still pending'? And what is up with this constantly unstable soul? Protagonist, can you not be a proper human being?!

“Ah-!” There was a sudden change in his aura as he went to counterattack, and Lian Yizheng abruptly grabbed his crotch, falling down on to the ground while his pupils stopped fluctuating.

[Now testing the protagonist’s soul's stability… The soul flag status is now being determined. Removal of the first soul flag is confirmed. The second soul flag is confirmed. The third soul flag is confirmed. Soul flag status is still pending, and the soul transferring channel cannot be opened. ]

Ye Zhizhou’s gaze fell on Lian Yizheng’s bloody lower region, his brain flashed with an idea and he shouted, “Abolish his cultivation, now!”

The female leads, who were shocked speechless by Hua Lian’s “ruthless castration method”, became excited after they heard his words. They all turned to look at him with expressions of ‘young man, this vicious way of yours, I like it’. Then, one by one ruthlessly attacked Lian Yizheng's dantian with their full strength.

The sudden intense pain that erupted in his brain tormented Lian Yizheng so much that his mental state was about to collapse. At this point he had completely lost his ability to resist and could only miserably roll back and forth on the ground to avoid their attacks. His Wuhun would condense at one moment but then disperse at the next, and his screams became increasingly tragic.

Ye Zhizhou fiercely stared at the protagonist's eyes, his thoughts becoming more and more clear. If what he speculated was right, the protagonist’s soul fluctuations may be related to Ji Quan’s spirit in his body. They were probably mutually using each other. As long as he broke the connection between Ji Quan and the protagonist, the deeply hidden soul remnant should be forced out. Although Ji Quan’s spirit being in the protagonist's body was only a speculation, it was a critical situation. He has to attempt this, even if this was all just speculation.

The people over there were still jointly attacking Lian Yizheng. Ye Zhizhou used his spiritual power to monitor the protagonist's situation while also condensing his Wuhun into his palms. Once he felt it was time, he took advantage of the opening while Lian Yizheng was trying to avoid the fierce attacks of the female leads. Fiercely charging forwards, he ruthlessly poured all the condensed Wuhun in his palm into Lian Yizheng's dantian, before manipulating the Wuhun into exploding out loudly. Crack!

"Ah—!"

Lian Yizheng screamed out painfully, and the wildly rioting Wuhun on his body suddenly disappeared. His body twitched a few times before he fell to the ground. He glared at Ye Zhizhou helplessly and stretched out his hand to grab Ye Zhizhou's arm which was on his Dantian. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he strained himself to say, "Zhi… Yuan… I won't let you die peacefully…”

[The soul flag status is now being determined. All six soul flags have been pulled out. Congratulations to the host for completing this world's mission. Opening the soul transfer channel. Channel is now open, does host to want to enter the next world? ]

Ye Zhizhou let out a long sigh as he promptly choose no. He raised his eyes to look at Lian Yizheng and slowly retracted his palm, “Lian Yizheng, before I die horribly, you will be going to hell first.”

“No… I’m going to be the… strongest… Wu warrior.” Lian Yizheng bent over and vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood. The hand that was grabbing Ye Zhizhou’s arm gradually loosened as he unwillingly closed his eyes.

"Is he dead?" Ao Feng frowned as she walked forward, putting away her weapon.

"No, he just fainted." Ye Zhizhou let Tongtian scan Lian Yizheng's body, finally relaxing after confirming that his dantian was destroyed and he would never be able to cultivate again. Looking towards Hua Lian, he said, "City Lord, I'll leave the rest up to you."

"Rest assured little boss, I will definitely expose his crimes to the public and let him receive his rightful punishment. This time, no one can protect him." Hua Lian earnestly promised and then walked forward to help him up, "Little boss, did you get injured? Many thanks for today's matter."

"No, just a bit exhausted, thank you for your concern, city lord." After standing up properly, he took out a pill and ate it. He closed his eyes and relaxed a bit. Today he had overused both his spiritual power and Wuhun so now he had a headache.

After Hong Yin finished tying up Lian Yizheng, she threw him out of the room. Dusting off her clothes, she laughed as she said, "We finally dealt with this scum student. It's too bad Mengxue was dragged away by her family and couldn't come."

“Look at what you're saying. All you know is sticking to Ji Mengxue all day.” Ao Feng glanced at her, and then came forward to pat Ye Zhizhou’s shoulder, “Today, this matter was settled due to little boss. From now on, I, Ao Feng, will back you up! You can rest assured about the Lian family, they won't dare to do anything."

Ye Zhizhou almost lost his balance from her pat. After his headache slightly receded, he quickly took his leave, "The rest I’ll have to trouble you to handle. My pet and mount both ran away, I have to go find them."

One after another, they all expressed their understanding and also asked him if he wanted help. He quickly refused, waving his hand as he walked out of the room.

He had just crossed over the threshold and was nodding to the incoming Lian Hua and Hua Yanwhen a black colored screen with red letters suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.

[Detecting danger to host's life. Do you want to receive the mission reward, Huan Hun pill in advance? ]

Why. Was. There. More!

He turned around to look at the protagonist on the ground, but found that Lian Yizheng was still unconscious and it was impossible for him to send out another attack. Becoming more alert, he took out a protective talisman, tore it open, and began looking around vigilantly

Everything became quiet, Hua Lian and the others looked at him all perplexed.

Ye Zhizhou frowned and wanted to use his spiritual power to investigate, but he didn't have enough power. He could only look to Hua Lian and the female leads to ask, “Do you guys detect any unfamiliar or concealed Wuhun?”

The female leads also became vigilant when they heard his words. Hua Lian searched the area carefully and shook his head, “I can’t find anything unusual… Is there a Saint Rank warrior lurking around? Could it be Lian Yizheng’s grandfather?" As he said this, he moved forward to cover the group of people behind him, looking around defensively.

Two minutes later, the small courtyard was still calm, there weren't even any bugs flying around. The several people’s tense nerves slightly relaxed. Hua Lian already determined that there was no danger around. He could not help laughing, “Little boss may be too nervous. The city lord's mansion is very safe. You can be at ease.”

Ye Zhizhou disposed of the protective talisman, somewhat baffled. The system is unlikely to make a mistake, ah…

[Please trust the system.]

He didn't know if it was just an illusion, but after seeing this prompt, his improving headache suddenly worsened.. He quickly took out an Anshen pill to eat but alarm bells went off when the pill had no effect. He then took out a Qingxin pill to eat, and at the same time he also took out a protective talisman, tearing it.

Everyone saw his face suddenly change colors and then saw him ingesting pills. They were worried and asked, “What’s wrong little boss? Are you injured?”

“No…” The headache eased slightly after Qingxin pill entered the body, but soon after that the pain doubled. He crouched down to the ground with a groan, quickly swallowing several more pills and gritted his teeth, “You guys get out of here, quickly!”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, wanting to go help him up.

“Ji Quan’s soul remnant is in my body, quickly leave! I’ll think of a way to force him out!” Ye Zhizhou swiftly retreated. He avoided everyone's contact, trying his best to suppress the pain in his brain while madly pouring Qingxin pills into his mouth. He did not expect that the remnants of Ji Quan’s soul would sneak in when his spiritual powers had been depleted, he was too careless.

Suddenly, a long beast roar sounded in the air. Ye Zhizhou only felt that his headache suddenly became clear. Afterwards, a golden light fell from the sky and directly shone on him. His sight went dark, the back of his neck tensed, then his body fell into smooth, soft long fur and his face was licked by a wet tongue. A familiar voice sounded overhead, “I’m sorry I came late.”

“Bastard.” Ye Zhizhou grabbed his fur, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, “Ji Quan is cursing at you in my mind… I can’t hold on for much longer…"

The mark on Ji Huaijin’s forehead flashed with a light, he bowed his head and gently rubbed against him. He turned around to faintly glance at Hua Lian and the others who stood there dumbfounded, then sent a thread of his energy into Lian Yizheng’s body. He rose to the skies by treading on clouds. The camouflage talisman on Xiao Hei’s body had been damaged, revealing his dark fur. He copied Ji Huaijin's actions of sending a thread of his yin energy into Lian Yizheng’s body. Then, he chased after Ji Huaijin and quickly left.

“That’s the little boss’s mount and pet? This…” Hong Yin was dumbstruck and did not know how to describe the shock in her heart right now.

“The sacred beast, the demon king…” Lian Hua couldn't believe it and took a step forward, her body trembling with excitement. “It’s the sacred beast! That mark, that mark… With the Shihun beast which guards the sacred beast demon king… Lord Zhonghua! It’s Lord Zhonghua!”

Hua Yan promptly ran up to grab her, and wondered, “What are you talking about, Lian Hua? It’s a sacred beast but also a demon king. Isn’t that just a legend?”

“It’s true! It’s not just a legend. They really do exist!” Lian Hua excitedly grabbed her shoulder with astonishing shining eyes, “The temple's ancient books have written records about the Demon King that will be born in times of chaos in the human realm. After recognizing the Savior as their master, a bond will be forged between them. A golden mark will then appear on its forehead and it will become a guardian sacred beast, protecting the other party… That white shadow just now was the Demon King Zhonghua! There's no mistaking it! It must have been him!”

Hua Lian was also a bit shocked, “So the little boss is actually the Savior? Then, Lian Yizheng who he’s dealing with…”

“A person who cultivates by stealing another's cultivation can't be any good!” Ao Feng kicked the unconscious Lian Yizheng and then laughed proudly, “So I just helped the Savior save the world? I like this kind of story!”

Hong Yin listened to their dialogue and silently wiped her face. She had actually known the Savior for so long, and often went to listen to him tell stories… It really is a great loss for Mengxue who didn't come today.

I just moved into my new apartment last night and I haven’t been able to translate enough this past week so Chapter 70 is being split into 2 parts, sorry! For chapters later on, unless the character count gets too long, they’ll be posted as a whole chapter.
