Those Years When We Killed the White LotusCh60 - V6.01 Skilled in Disguising White Lotus

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Within these two decades, Luzi Yang traveled to many places with Lin Zisheng. They witnessed the reunion of Lin Xiao and the red fox, and when Luzi Yang’s body was nearing its limits, the two returned to the demon realm.

  BIuj3S

The sky in the demon realm was crimson, with neither sun nor moon, day nor night. The light was always dim, just like the glow before sunrise.

Life in the demon realm was perpetually oppressive. To survive here, one had to become strong, the strongest. Survival of the fittest was the only rule in the demon realm.

  t9EvV1

Given Lin Zisheng’s identity and Luzi Yang’s strength, they were able to lead a relatively peaceful life here. Although many coveted their position, a few who dared to challenge them met their demise at the hands of Luzi Yang. This made others realize that these two were not to be messed with, and so, people gradually stopped causing trouble for them.

 

Thus, the last two years of Lin Zisheng and Luzi Yang’s life were calm. In the first year, Lin Zisheng took Luzi Yang to explore the demon realm. However, in the final year, Luzi Yang’s health began to deteriorate rapidly. Though he seemed fine on the surface, his internal organs were failing.

 

9hwIej

In the last one or two months, Luzi Yang could only lie in bed all day, watching Lin Zisheng busily taking care of him.

 

During that last month, everyone finally learned that the seemingly gentle and smiling Demon Lord had a temper too, especially when it came to the person he loved. He would unleash carnage without hesitation.

  l8hatH

Finally, after more than half of the demons in the demon realm were injured or killed, they realized that the half-demon brought back by the Demon Lord was someone beyond anyone’s imagination, in terms of life and death.

 

“Little one, is my time approaching?” Demons themselves were aware of their life spans, knowing precisely when their end was near. Thus, they could not be at ease.

  1n5hbR

“Yes.” Looking at his beloved lying pale on the bed, Lin Zisheng knew that they would soon face another farewell.

 

“You said you would never leave me, right?” Gazing into the unchanged face of the past twenty years, Luzi Yang’s eyes overflowed with affection.

  bhGrmc

“Yes.”

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Then stay with me, okay?” He couldn’t bear to have this person leave his side. He couldn’t let go. Even in death, he would hold onto him tightly.

  YZj2Cr

“Okay.” Even in death, I will be by your side.

 

Luzi Yang smiled, and his gaze at Lin Zisheng was brighter than ever before. At that moment, he felt like he had gained the whole world.

  DfcEdR

And at the moment he lost his breath, Luzi Yang self-destructed his core, unleashing a tremendous power that nearly destroyed half of the demon realm. Fortunately, his residence was remote, so it did not affect others around him.

 

  cbS0Gl

When Lin Zisheng woke up again, he found himself back in that white space. Instantly, he felt extremely exhausted. Going from one world to another, meeting his loved ones, and then being separated again, this feeling was not pleasant.

 

[Host, if you feel uncomfortable, we can leave the world after completing the mission.] Understanding the reason for Lin Zisheng’s discomfort, 001 offered this solution. If the host leaves directly, the impact won’t be as severe.

  n43iEv

“What will happen to him if I leave?” Lin Zisheng asked only this question before quietly closing his eyes, trying to calm his emotions. However, the faint frown on his face indicated that he was not at ease.

 

This question had no answer, and there was no way to answer it. Because that person was the host’s soul-bound partner, forcibly separating them would drive him insane.

“Forget about settling the previous world for now. Let me rest for a moment, and you can settle it after we go to the next world,” Lin Zisheng waved his hand, clearly tired of dealing with these matters.

  bSyZO3

Noticing that Lin Zisheng’s mood was indeed not good, 001 flew carefully to his side, gently rubbing Lin Zisheng’s cheek with its soft fur, then silently accompanying him there.

 

At this moment, Lin Zisheng was immersed in memories. He remembered Su Mo, who was willing to sacrifice everything for him; Zhang Daoling, who was neither human nor ghost but cared deeply for him; Wenren Lan, who was affectionate yet strong-willed; Yan Yu, who, despite being the master, discarded his dignity before him; and then, there was Luzi Yang, who gave his entire life to him, even though it was short-lived.

  FVlA6X

Each person was undeniably different, yet Lin Zisheng could see a shadow of someone in them, someone he couldn’t remember, but just thinking about that person caused a sharp pain in his heart.

 

[Warning, warning, host’s emotions are out of control, there are signs of memory unsealing. If calm is not restored within ten seconds, memories will be forcibly sealed!] 001’s voice sounded sharp, but Lin Zisheng was completely lost in his own world, unable to hear anything.

  StnLDA

[Warning, warning, host’s emotions are out of control, there are signs of memory unsealing. If calm is not restored within ten seconds, memories will be forcibly sealed!] 001 repeated again, but Lin Zisheng’s condition showed no improvement.

 

[Countdown initiated, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4…] Just as 001 counted down to four, Lin Zisheng suddenly regained his senses. His expression carried a lingering pain, but his eyes showed deep confusion. Did he… just remember something?

  tj4KL

Touching his chest, he felt like he remembered something, yet also felt like he didn’t remember anything at all. It was a peculiar sensation that left him mystified.

 

[Host, are you feeling better now?] Seeing Lin Zisheng return to normal, 001 secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It had been truly alarming just now. If the host remembered those things, it would be troublesome!

  W mVnE

“Yeah.” Lin Zisheng closed his eyes once again and softly replied to 001. Now he felt much better, though it was a strange kind of “better.”

[Shall we enter the next world?]

  iDF4Ov

“Yeah, send the information of the next world.” Lin Zisheng opened his eyes and asked 001 to provide the data for the next world.

 

[Host, about the next world, there’s something I need to tell you. Since your level has reached D-grade, all missions will be “touch-triggered.” If you fail to influence the mainline mission, I’ll have to remove you from that world.]

  ypwDz6

[So, I hope you’ll make an effort to find missions. Also, in the next world, there won’t be any reminders about who the main character or white lotus is.] 

 

Upon hearing 001’s words, Lin Zisheng frowned. It was just D-grade, and the system already stopped providing hints. What would happen when he reaches A-grade or even S-grade worlds?

  DdoWUx

[Once you reach A-grade or higher worlds, the system won’t actively assist you. All help will require points to exchange.] It wasn’t too difficult since upgrading from F-grade to D-grade was simple, but it becomes challenging after D-grade. By the time Lin Zisheng reaches A-grade, he’ll have enough points to spend lavishly.

 

Lin Zisheng nodded to indicate that he understood and then looked down at the information in his hand.

  y0XqGS

This world was different from the previous ones. Lin Zisheng discovered that there was no female lead in this world.

 

Lin Zisheng: “It’s one thing to become an animal, but now the world doesn’t even allow regular heterosexual relationships?”

Bai Yao was a Longzi, a unique guardian beast of Dragon Kingdom that looked like a dragon. After reaching the age of five, they could transform into human form and would revert to their dragon form when close to death. They were a very peculiar species, and among them, the most peculiar were the white ones. 

 

Unlike regular dragons, white ones were born without any trace of pigment, displaying a sickly white color. Even their pupils were light amber, and their lifespans were very short.

  qkxJL8

But with gains come losses. They traded a healthy body and most of their lifespan for incredibly strong abilities. Some powerful white dragons could even foresee the future, and legends said that they were intertwined with the Imperial Star, the destined Emperor. Only when the Imperial Star appeared would a white dragon hatch from its egg.

 

Lin Zisheng initially thought that Bai Yao was a white dragon bound to the Imperial Star, but to his surprise, Bai Yao turned out to be an ordinary dragon, and the white dragon seemed to be the second male lead.

  NnyJIb

In the first life, the Seventh Prince and Crown Prince both chose their dragons at the same time. Bai Yao hesitated between the two but ultimately chose the Crown Prince as his main master while trying to string the Seventh Prince along, hoping to control both of them. 

 

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, Bai Yao was a transmigrator and also gay, lusting after these two excellent men.

  x7E8km

But what neither the Crown Prince nor Bai Yao expected was that the Seventh Prince encountered the white dragon in the backyard while wandering around before departing, and the white dragon recognized him as its master. Thus began a legendary life for the Seventh Prince. 

 

Unable to seduce the Seventh Prince, Bai Yao then plotted to defy fate and help the Crown Prince ascend to the throne. However, he ended up being punished by the heavens, losing all his power and tragically died.

  mTLHZp

But then, instead of having his soul scattered, Bai Yao received a chance for reincarnation. This time, he got a head start and got close to the white dragon, becoming its friend, and tricked it into staying in the backyard when the Seventh Prince arrived. Then, he made a deal with the Bai family to disguise himself as the white dragon. He found a legitimate reason to help the Bai family execute the white dragon.

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

And so, Bai Yao returned to the palace with the Seventh Prince, using his knowledge from his previous life to assist him. When he was an adult, he returned to the Bai family claiming he wanted to visit his friend. However, he didn’t expect to be “ambushed” and have the power he had as the white dragon devoured. (fake claim)

  z9oEhb

The Seventh Prince was furious and publicly executed the white dragon. Meanwhile, Bai Yao used a secret technique from the Bai family to steal and seal the white dragon’s powers within himself, once again becoming the white dragon. (fake white dragon)

 

The Seventh Prince, just like in his previous life, ascended the throne, but due to killing the white dragon, he fell gravely ill after becoming emperor. And because of Bai Yao’s scheming, the heavens were angered, causing three years of severe drought and widespread famine, leaving the people in dire straits.

  RC8I4U

All of this was because of Bai Yao’s selfishness, pushing the entire world toward destruction.

 

“I really don’t know what to say about this master of disguises, Bai Yao.” For over a decade, he disguised himself continuously, yet his true nature hadn’t been exposed. That was indeed a skill.

  8Hh0dq

[Is the host entering the next world?]

 

“Yes.”

  IUvxqO

[The transmission is about to begin. Please get ready. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1—] …

 

In a dark room, there was a peculiar beast egg emitting a soft, glowing white light, making it appear like a rare treasure in the darkness. It was so alluring that people couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch it to see if it was as warm as they imagined.

  ZHKPc2

Several people surrounded the beast egg, gazing at it with great care, as if they were observing an extremely precious treasure, their eyes filled with intense greed.

 

Read more BL at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

“Is this egg really the one?” One of them seemed impatient and was eager to touch the beast egg, but others around stopped him. “Why are you all so worried that I might crush it? I just want to see if our guess was right this time.”

  yC3LXg

The man’s words caused the others’ greed to turn into hesitation. Indeed, this wasn’t the first beast egg placed here; it was the 128th. Every time there was an egg hatching, they would place it here and patiently wait, hoping that this time it would be the one they had been waiting for. However, the previous 127 eggs turned out to be no different from ordinary beast eggs.

 

“I really can’t say for sure.” The person holding back the first man spoke with a tone of helplessness. “Fortunately, there are not many eggs left. We’ll wait one by one, and eventually, we might…”

  6gSVFA

He paused and shook his head. Alas, even if they wait one by one, there’s no guarantee they’ll find the one they desire!

 

“Alright, enough talk. Let’s watch carefully. This beast egg is different from the ones before, I’m sure of it!” However, the man who spoke these words was uncertain himself, and his tone was filled with doubt. Apparently, he couldn’t be certain if this beast egg was what they were looking for.

  zlU6XI

The so-called difference he mentioned was merely related to the hatching time. Normally, beast eggs would hatch within two to three days after they started emitting light. However, this particular egg had been in the same state for five days without any signs of hatching. 

 

Nonetheless, historical records mentioned a case where a beast egg hatched after fifteen days, with no significant difference from other eggs.

  oICTp6

And so, the three individuals could only wait in the room, hoping for the egg to hatch. But the longer they waited, the more anxious and disappointed they felt. Even though they didn’t say it out loud, everyone knew that the chances of success were slim.

 

Finally, on the eighth day, the seemingly dormant egg underwent a sudden change. The soft white light it emitted gradually turned dazzling, and the red-and-white shell took on a lustrous sheen, with intricate golden lines adorning its surface.

  oHayG4

In an instant, the three people exchanged glances, all thinking the same thing: It happened!

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

After the radiant golden light subsided, the once dull and grey beast egg transformed into a completely different appearance. Its translucent white shell resembled the finest white jade, with intricate patterns all over, exuding an aura of opulence, mystery, and luxury. This egg was undeniably unique.

  ON431j

“Indeed, it’s a White Child. Imperial Star is about to be born!”

 

“Yes, when a White Child hatches, it signifies the birth of the Imperial Star.”

  Ttdwr2

The origin of this legend was unknown, but it held some truth. Every prince chosen by the White Child in each generation would inevitably become the emperor. The emperor, in turn, would be a wise ruler, leading the Dragon Kingdom to new heights. Therefore, the Bai family, as the guardian family of the Dragon Children, attached great importance to the White Child and carefully protected them.

 

In recent generations, however, due to the incompetence of the Bai family’s descendants, the family’s reputation had declined. Thus, the Bai family considered taking a different path to secure their prosperity, one of which involved using the blood of the White Child for rituals, ensuring the family’s prosperity for the next hundred years.

  VTjSl4

Now, the White Child was right before them, and all they needed to do was…

 

“Second brother, don’t act rashly!” Seeing that the person beside him was on the verge of losing control, the young man quickly grabbed his arm. 

  OEfG4g

“While performing the ritual with White Child might bring prosperity to our family, if this gets exposed, the Bai family will be condemned for eternity. Besides, the ritual can only be performed after the White Child reaches adulthood, which takes longer than ordinary Dragon Children.”

 

Even though they all felt the impulse to break the egg and perform the ritual for the Bai family, doing so would only bring harm to the Bai family and not benefit them in any way. Moreover, performing the ritual before the White Child matured would be even riskier.

  IMePyc

The person addressed as “second brother” stiffened for a moment, his expression fierce as he glared at the White Child. Eventually, he let out a sigh and turned to leave. He knew that he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t harm the egg if he stayed there any longer.

“Big brother, we…” Though the young man advised his second brother as such, in truth, he wasn’t willing to easily give up on the White Child. It represented the hope of the Bai family. Why should they readily hand over their hope to the imperial family?

  jkdwv8

“Let’s go. You’re right; it’s not the right time yet. We still have twenty years until the White Child reaches adulthood. We have enough time to plan carefully.” The man addressed as “big brother” sighed and slowly walked out. He ultimately chose the Bai family over the Dragon Kingdom.

 

As time passed, more than half a month had gone by, and the White Child, which should have hatched by now, showed no signs of movement. The three brothers of the Bai family were extremely anxious.

  HajhM1

Finally, three days later, news came that the Empress and the Concubine both gave birth to sons within the time of burning an incense stick. Emperor Long Xin was overjoyed and directly proclaimed the Empress’s son, the Sixth Prince, as the Crown Prince.

 

The Empress was formerly the Crown Prince’s consort, and she had bravely risked her life to protect the Emperor when he was attacked. She was stabbed in the abdomen and nearly lost her life. 

  j7Aen5

Although she was saved and treated, her ability to conceive was compromised. Now, not only had she successfully conceived an imperial heir, but it was also a male child, which naturally delighted the Emperor, leading him to immediately appoint the child as the Crown Prince.

 

Upon hearing this news, the three brothers of the Bai family looked at the already cracking eggshell and had no idea what to do. The palace had two princes born within the time of burning an incense stick, and they couldn’t be sure which one was the Imperial Star. 

  fujAzR

Only the White Child could possibly discern the truth, but if they were to hand over the White Child because of this, they wouldn’t be willing to do so.

 

“Big brother, what if we…”

  m7Tg6F

“It’s truly troublesome this time. If we can’t figure out which one is the Imperial Star, we’ll have no choice but to send the White Child away!” Though reluctant, they had to do it for the sake of the Bai family’s prosperity.

“Big brother!” Upon hearing this, Bai Er (Second Brother) was unwilling. The White Child represented the hope of the Bai family, and giving it to the Emperor wouldn’t be of much help. They might as well keep it themselves.

  vCk10e

“Second brother, the day the White Child hatches is when the Imperial Star is born. The Imperial Star is the destiny’s emperor, and it’s beyond the influence of the Bai family. If we make the wrong choice, the Bai family will disappear in the long river of history, as there are many others who can raise Dragon Children, not just the Bai family.”

 

This statement left Bai Er and Bai San (Third Brother) with bitter expressions. Indeed, if they made the wrong choice for the Imperial Star, the Bai family would likely come to an end. Though unwilling, they couldn’t change this reality.

  dLyQRr

“Let it be. Let fate decide.”

 

After saying this, Bai Da (Big Brother) walked out. As for the White Child that was about to hatch?

  3YLtbQ

Since they couldn’t obtain it now, what was the point of tormenting themselves by looking at it?

 

After the three people left, the eggshell that had been slowly cracking completely split open in an instant. A small, white figure curled up on the soft cushion where the beast egg was once placed.

  Pil74j

The small, white figure had a long, slender body, with features resembling a deer’s horns, an ox’s head, a donkey’s mouth, a shrimp’s eyes, an elephant’s ears, fish scales, human-like whiskers, a snake’s belly, and phoenix-like feet. 

 

This was undoubtedly an Eastern dragon, though it appeared much more tender and young compared to an adult dragon. It had only one pair of claws, unlike the usual two pairs of four.

  8KpOUg

After a while, the seemingly weak figure slowly opened its eyes and looked at its own appearance. An expression of astonishment appeared in its eyes. “001, what’s going on? Didn’t you say I was a Dragon Child? How did I turn into a dragon?”

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

In the minds of all Easterners, dragons were sacred beings. While the thought of transforming into one intrigued Lin Zisheng slightly, he was mostly astonished.

  96tnzm

[Of course, it’s a dragon. What else did you think a Dragon Child was?] 001 looked at Lin Zisheng with a somewhat exasperated expression, wondering why his host was so unsettled.

 

“Bi Xuan, Chi Wen, Pu Lao, Bi An, Tao Tie, Pa Fu, Ya Zi, Suan Ni, Jiao Tu—these are the Nine Sons of the Dragon. Don’t assume I lack knowledge.” Lin Zisheng coolly replied, leaving 001 at a loss for words.

  d2Z6qf

[This world is different from the original world of the host. In this world, the so-called ‘Dragon Child’ refers to a young dragon.] 001 explained to Lin Zisheng and then maliciously added.

 

[Host, for the next five years, you’ll have to maintain this appearance. Good luck to you.]

  OiZ0IP

Upon hearing this, Lin Zisheng was slightly taken aback, and then dangerous glints appeared in his eyes as he looked at 001.

 

However, it didn’t matter; it was just five years. He could endure it!

  NMnTVo

 

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, seven years had passed. In the first three years, Lin Zisheng was relentlessly mocked by 001, who said he might be the first Dragon Child incapable of transformation since he couldn’t gather even a trace of spiritual energy. 

  UZpiL3

However, starting from the fourth year, he seemed to be stimulated by something, and his absorption of spiritual energy became swift. 

 

Read more BL at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

In the fifth year, he successfully transformed. Among the Dragon Children, he was the most beautiful, though it wasn’t something to be particularly happy about _(:3」∠)_

  LbQVRN

However, it was said that the strength and beauty of a Dragon Child were directly proportional. So, Lin Zisheng had to endure silently his handsome and beautiful appearance.

 

Upon seeing Lin Zisheng, the three brothers of the Bai family had complex expressions. They wanted to keep him for the blood sacrifice but feared making the wrong choice for the Imperial Star, which could lead to the collapse of their family’s legacy that had lasted for centuries.

  CEsHI2

Then, at the end of Lin Zisheng’s seventh year and the beginning of the eighth year, the plot finally began.

 

On this day, as usual, Lin Zisheng went to the Bai family’s collection of books to read. Although the Dragon Children were extraordinary beings, to serve the Emperor well, they needed to have knowledge in various fields. 

  dmbAP

Therefore, starting from the day when the Dragon Child could transform, someone would teach them knowledge. After fully learning to read, the Dragon Child would start selecting and studying subjects of interest from the Bai family’s collection.

 

Lin Zisheng was the only one, apart from the first White Child, who chose to patiently read all the books in the collection.

  wTlZHn

[Host, not all the books here are useful. Many are unrelated to the plot. Shall I filter them out for you?] As 001 saw Lin Zisheng laboring through the books, it felt that a considerate system should help its host and at least filter out the irrelevant ones to save time.

 

“No need. Those things might not be useful for the White Child, but they are useful to me.” Lin Zisheng replied calmly, putting aside a book he had finished reading and picking up another.

  vd84iL

Lin Zisheng’s answer left 001 momentarily stunned. It had belatedly realized that its host’s goal wasn’t solely to complete the mission in this world; acquiring more knowledge would undoubtedly be advantageous.

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

At this moment, the original passionate antagonist quietly appeared.

  EOTyrR

Bai Yao, looked at the person sitting silently in the collection, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. In his previous life, this person’s existence caused him to lose the chance to obtain an excellent man. In this life, he would never allow such a mistake to happen again.

 

Now, the White Child was just a child. As long as he got close to him and got to know him, he could make sure he never appeared in the Seventh Prince’s presence.

  VUK2Q3

“You… Hello.” As Lin Zisheng quietly read, a weak but trembling voice reached his ears. He completely ignored it, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

 

This response left Bai Yao stunned. Shouldn’t he be lifting his head to see who it was? Shouldn’t he ask why he was afraid? Why…

  q6tvxb

Upon seeing the small body of the boy, Bai Yao instantly understood why. They were both just kids; they didn’t understand what emotions meant. Even if he acted affectionately in front of him, this person didn’t seem to comprehend it.

 

So, Bai Yao restrained his anger and stood beside Lin Zisheng, trying to appear friendly as he softly said, “Hello, I am Bai Yao. Can we be friends?”

  duKY6z

Ignoring him, still ignoring him. In Lin Zisheng’s eyes, there were only the books now. In a few short years, before the two princes came of age, he would have to leave this place. With around twelve to thirteen years left at most, if he didn’t hurry, he wouldn’t be able to finish reading all the books here before leaving.

 

Looking at Lin Zisheng lost in the sea of books made Bai Yao even more furious, but there was also a strong sense of puzzlement. What was so good about this bookworm? Why did the Seventh Prince dote on him to the bone in the previous life?

  XS1Pja

“I’ve been observing you for a long time, and I know you don’t have any friends, so…”

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Finally, upon hearing these words, Lin Zisheng reacted. He looked at Bai Yao’s face with scrutiny and impatience, then coldly spit out one word, “Nuisance!”

  LTyi J

After saying that, Lin Zisheng placed the book he had finished reading on the table and chose a dozen more to take away. He decided to go back to his room to read. At least there, this person wouldn’t bother him again. 

 

As for the plot… hmph, what was that? He came to this world to change the plot, didn’t he?

  X58Mtb

After Lin Zisheng left, Bai Yao wore a ferocious expression. Why was it different now? In the previous life, wasn’t Bai Zi discriminated against and unable to make friends because he was different? Why did this person become so arrogant this time?

 

Of course, Bai Yao could never have imagined that this person had become like this because he was just like Bai Yao, a new soul in a different body. This wasn’t the Bai Zi from his memory.

  MbAoPR

In this manner, Bai Yao seemed to persist in proving his method was correct. Whenever he had the chance, he would appear in front of Lin Zisheng, pestering him to become his friend. However, time and time again, Lin Zisheng ignored him.

 

Finally, after half a year of persistence, their relationship hadn’t progressed at all. This left Bai Yao feeling frustrated and troubled.

  mOd4aW

Then one day, Bai Yao’s room received three visitors, the three brothers of the Bai family.

 

“I don’t know how you found out about the Bai family’s secrets, but I assume you’re clinging to Bai Zi to become the new Emperor’s contractor,” Bai Da looked at Bai Yao, full of ambition, and was pleased. Although this type of person was hard to control, they would become the best ally once enough courtesy was given. 

  0NWPnY

“I want to make a deal with you.”

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“What… what deal?” Upon hearing the word “deal,” Bai Yao’s eyes lit up with eagerness. He had a feeling that his wish was about to come true.

  tZPD2x

“I want you to extract information from Bai Zi about who the real Emperor is, and in return, I’ll help you disguise yourself as Bai Zi and stand by the new Emperor’s side.” 

 

Bai Da’s tone was filled with temptation, painting a beautiful future for Bai Yao.

  p3bjc7

Upon hearing this, Bai Yao’s eyes were full of longing. That outstanding man, that supreme position, they would all be his if he agreed to these three people’s requests.

 

“Alright, I agree. I can tell you who the real new Emperor is…”

  1jDdqH

Hearing what Bai Yao wanted to say, Bai Da waved his hand with a smile, stopping him. “I don’t want your judgment; I want to hear the answer from Bai Zi’s own mouth. Your answer is of no use to me.”

 

“I understand.” Bai Yao clenched his fists and swallowed back the words he was about to say. He knew his experience was too extraordinary, and no one would believe him even if he spoke the truth. So, he had to build a good relationship with Bai Zi and make him say who the person was!

  GJw9qv

However, neither Bai Yao nor the Bai family brothers knew that after their discussion, Lin Zisheng received his first task.

 

[System prompt: You triggered a mission] 

  s3q i0

[Main Mission 1: Disrupt the transaction between Bai Yao and the Bai family brothers, and find the correct future Emperor.]

[Reward: 1000 Exp, 3000 points]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

[Failure Penalty: Sealed memory and no hints for the next world]

[Secondary Mission: Learn the details of the transaction between Bai Yao and the Bai family brothers.] gyCofX

[Reward: 100 Exp, 1000 points, Daily Cultivation System will be released.] 

 

“Main mission one?”

  OcvjTJ

[Yes, starting from this world, your main missions will no longer be single tasks but a series of connected missions. Only by completing all the main missions will you smoothly progress to the next world; otherwise, you will face severe penalties.] 

 

001’s tone was very serious, making Lin Zisheng realize that with the upgrade, he couldn’t be as casual about accepting missions as before.

  E3GdYO

Next, in order to complete the mission, Lin Zisheng had to leave his room and start interacting with Bai Yao. Of course, the so-called interaction was merely allowing Bai Yao to pester him more.

 

Unaware of Lin Zisheng’s true intentions, Bai Yao naturally believed that his own charm had won over Lin Zisheng, and he considered Lin Zisheng as a friend. It was just that he was a bit shy and couldn’t say it out loud, so he could only quietly spend more time with him.
