From the moment Yu Tong discovered Yun Mingchen staring at Su Feng’s body, he knew there was a high possibility that the male lead would revive.
However, he thought the male lead would have revived beside his corpse.
For example, he might have an incredibly powerful self-healing ability, thus able to regenerate flesh and blood from pieces of bone and turn back into a human.
Or perhaps he had secretly learned some sinister techniques, allowing him to become a ghost cultivator after death.
Yun Mingchen probably had similar thoughts, otherwise, he wouldn’t have hidden behind a tree to spy after the monsters had thoroughly reduced the male lead to scraps.
However, they were both wrong.
Adding in the time spent rescuing the female cultivator Susu, they still departed at least ten minutes earlier than Su Feng.
If Su Feng was healing himself, transforming from a corpse back into a human would also take some time. Logically speaking, he should have caught up from behind.
Moreover, with the fog so thick, there was no guarantee he could catch up at all.
Yu Tong carefully observed Su Feng.
Judging from his position and demeanor, the male lead had been waiting here for a while.
This was not normal.
Yu Tong summoned the system to come and take a look.
The system, currently browsing year-end discounts, peeked out and was so startled it let out an “Oh my!”
Yu Tong, fur bristling while deep in thought, “wuwu-ed” a few times toward the direction where the male lead was.
From the moment he saw the male lead to when he issued a warning, it was less than half a second.
Hearing the sounds, Yun Mingchen, momentarily denying reality, immediately reacted and turned his head to look warily in the direction of the sound.
His gaze happened to meet the male lead hiding behind the tree, and Yu Tong distinctly felt Yun Mingchen’s body stiffen.
Even when caught peeping, Su Feng remained unfazed.
He acted naturally, stepping out confidently. He was still wearing the uniform of the Sword Cultivation Facility, but the weapon in his hand had been switched to another longsword.
Seeing him, everyone present was momentarily stunned.
Except for the antagonist and his little cat, no one knew that Su Feng had been eaten by monsters.
After Susu had awakened and recounted her ordeal to the members of the Student Union, they were all caught off guard.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Now, everyone present knew that during Su Feng’s relationship with Yun Zhongling, he cheated on Susu, who had just come of age, and deceived her, which resulted in her pregnancy. After encountering danger, he decisively abandoned Susu and fled away alone.

Yu Tong multitasked, keeping his eyes on Su Feng while observing Yun Mingchen’s reaction.
As the male lead approached, the antagonist tilted back for an instant, as if he wanted to step back to create distance.
At the same time, Yu Tong also sensed a trace of weakness and despair through the prop.
Yu Tong slowly squinted his eyes.
Yun Mingchen was someone who was good at keeping his composure; he shouldn’t be feeling these emotions so quickly.
Unless his plan to assassinate Su Feng had failed more than once.
The junior sister had been brainwashed by the scumbag into thinking that cheating is normal, and both the female talisman cultivator and the 0 male cultivator were filled with anger.
Seeing the main character, before the antagonist Yun Mingchen had a chance to speak, the male cultivator, with a strong air of antagonism, sneered coldly.
“What a coincidence, Junior Brother Su. I never thought I’d run into you here. Didn’t you abandon your girlfriend and run away? Why are you back?”
Su Feng didn’t show any embarrassment from being called out. He sincerely defended himself, “I’m still at the body refining stage right now and am not a match for monsters. At that time, there was more than one monster attacking Susu. If I had stayed, both of us would have been surrounded and devoured by monsters. I wasn’t running away; I just wanted to draw them away to help her.”
He walked forward as he spoke, as if trying to comfort Susu, who was secretly wiping her tears.
The female talisman cultivator cautiously took a step back and whispered to Yun Mingchen, “President, his clothes are clean.”
Yun Mingchen nodded. “Indeed, something’s not right.”
The female talisman cultivator compared the strength of both sides. “Should I provoke him a little?”
Yun Mingchen nodded, instructing her not to push too hard.
The female cultivator put Susu down and stepped forward, hands on her hips, speaking ambiguously.
Yun Mingchen casually placed Yu Tong on his shoulder.
His two little paws clung onto the antagonist’s shoulder as he tilted his head to look around.
The female talisman cultivator was very clever. Previously, she had used the excuse of checking the little cat to question Yun Mingchen. Now, she was steering the topic of conversation towards the monsters, trying to force Su Feng to reveal how he escaped from the monster’s encirclement.
As she and the 0 male cultivator continued to press on, Su Feng’s smile became increasingly stiff.
Yun Mingchen stood by and watched for a while, then reached out to steady the two members, kindly trying to mediate.
Yu Tong glanced at them a few times, then suddenly looked away, turning his gaze elsewhere.
The system wandered aimlessly amidst the watermelon field and asked him bewilderedly, 【It’s so fun to watch them argue. That female cultivator curses so vigorously. Why aren’t you watching?】
Yu Tong stared in the direction they had come from. ‘There’s no need to keep an eye on them. In less than a few words, they’ll start fighting.’
【Ah, is it because the female cultivator and the little 0 cursed too viciously?】
‘It’s somewhat related, but not entirely. Su Feng originally came to kill them. While speaking, he kept moving forward and even reached towards the female cultivator. Earlier, I thought he was trying to touch Susu, but the female cultivator put Susu down, and he still continued to approach. Something’s not right.’
The fog obscured Yu Tong’s vision, so he perked up his cat ears, trying to catch some sounds. ‘Yun Mingchen has also caught on. Look at his hands. He’s been pulling the two members behind him, trying to steer the conversation elsewhere and looking for an excuse to separate his team from the male lead.’
The system asked in confusion, 【But why does the male lead want to kill them? They don’t have any emnities.】
Yu Tong shook his head. ‘I don’t know. I need to think about it.’
【Then how did the male lead revive?】
‘I’m not sure. I can’t figure it out without any clues. But judging from the antagonist’s reaction, he should know something.’
The system didn’t say anything more. It opened its photo album and nostalgically looked at its previous hosts.
Its previous hosts were so good, each one didn’t scheme and was innocent and sweet — it got along with them very well.
Yu Tong had big eyes and a small round face, and he liked to stare at people with meng.
When it first saw him, it thought it had found another cute little beauty.
The system gloomily spit out a ring of smoke.
Clearly a nice little beauty, why did he have so many tricks? Upsetting.
Just as Yu Tong had anticipated, two minutes later, Su Feng found an opportunity to attack the 0 male cultivator by surprise.
Luckily, Yun Mingchen reacted quickly and managed to pull the young cultivator away.
The female cultivator roared in disbelief and rushed forward while pulling out her talismans. Yun Mingchen also drew his long sword. The situation instantly became chaotic.
Yu Tong lay steadily on the antagonist’s shoulder, his head resting on his little paws, lost in thought.
The fog was set up by Yun Mingchen, and the monsters inside obeyed his commands.
If so, how was he seriously injured in the original story?
Was he pretending?
No, Yun Mingchen was under pressure from his parents, Lord and Lady Yun. Only by proving his worth would he avoid being exploited to death by his parents.
Difficulty improving his cultivation may sound like a non-lethal aftereffect, but for him, they were a death sentence.
Yu Tong still hadn’t figured it out.
But he felt that the biggest change in the storyline was Su Feng’s corpse and Susu, who had been sitting on the ground all along.
He summoned the system to help keep an eye on Susu while he kept his gaze fixed in the direction they came from.
After his resurrection, Su Feng’s strength had become even stronger than before.
Previously, during the Swordsmanship Competition, he had almost lost his life, fighting with all his might against Yun Mingchen.
Now, Yun Mingchen, along with two members of the Student Union in the Meditation stage, could just barely suppress him.
Yun Mingchen’s expression grew increasingly grim.
He secretly formed a hand seal, intending to summon monsters to disrupt the battle. Only then could he find an opportunity to shake off Su Feng and leave with the three members.
Susu and the other two were not his targets; in his plan, those innocent members of the Student Union should have safely left the maze without any incidents.
He didn’t want to kill indiscriminately, and for his future plans, these people had to stay alive.
The kitten lying obediently on his shoulder suddenly began to slap his cheek with the tip of its tail.
Yun Mingchen turned his head to look.
In the fog not far away, the vague figure of a monster could be seen.
He hesitated for a moment, his brow furrowing in thought.
Yu Tong squinted his eyes.
The direction from which the monster came happened to be the same as where Su Feng’s corpse lay.
He wasn’t sure if this monster posed a threat or if it was controlled by the antagonist.
Seeing the antagonist divert his attention, Yu Tong hesitated for a moment but didn’t relax his vigilance.
In an instant, the monster that had been standing still suddenly stealthily darted out of the fog, extending its claws straight towards Yun Mingchen’s back.
Yu Tong, seeing this, executed a cat pounce. With a “meow,” he rushed towards the monster’s claws.
Thank you for the chapters! ❤

This Su Feng looks like an antagonist even more than Yun Mingchen -_- While Yun Mingchen just makes me want to give him a big hug and take him away from all those people.
And I disagree with the system, Yu Tong is super cool lol Thank you for your hard work!
