Chapter Summary: The devil enters the body

 

The sky and earth were all white, and delicate drizzles of snow continuously fell from the sky, blanketing the entirety of the land in dazzling whiteness. At the foot of Qingyun Mountain¹, a tea shop situated on the curb of the road was jam-packed with people who looked like they hadn’t seen the best of days. And faint wisps of conversation could be heard afar.  

 

“What? Immortal Lord Zhao Hua² really wants to expel his disciple from his sect?”

 

“Would this still be false? It’s spread everywhere in all the major sects!”

 

Inside the tea shop, two men, who seemed like members of a cultivation sect, sat opposite at a table and talked loudly without a filter. 

 

Their loud conversation perked up the ears of the tea-serving attendant and curiously asked, “Are you talking about the Immortal Lord Zhaohua, who ascended and became immortal at an early age? The Immortal Lord who used his own power to seal the Demon Abyss alone and is now staying at Tianyang Sect as an Immortal Lord?”

 

The cultivator, who was dressed in a blue robe, replied, “Exactly. You know that person too?”

 

“Can anyone not know?” the waiter smiled as he spoke, “Walking further west for half a day from here is the world’s first Sect’s doors, the large boundary of Tianyang Sect. There are a lot of cultivators who frequented this particular shop. That name could be heard many times from their exciting conversations.”

 

“Immortal Lord Zhaohua is highly respected in the realm of cultivation due to his good moral standing and reputation. Thus it’s no wonder that his influential name is known by everyone. Leaving aside his profound cultivation, and just his face…” They glanced at each other, and the blue-clothed cultivator lowered his voice that only they could hear. “The cultivation world often discusses that even if Immortal Lord Zhao Hua didn’t ascend and didn’t possess the merits of eliminating demons and defending traditional values, he could still make a name for himself with the face of the number one beauty under the heavens.”

 

The fellow who had his interest piqued was tickled in his heart, and couldn’t help but lean forward. “Really? I really want to see it with my own eyes.”

 

“Who doesn’t want to see?” The white-clothed cultivator sighed, “Back then, Immortal Lord Zhaohua went to my teacher and revered Master to discuss their opinions about Dao. It’s a pity that I was only an outside disciple at that time and had no chance to see the Immortal Lord’s celestial beauty. Sigh, if I could really meet Immortal Lord, then I’d be willing to do as many good deeds just to see him.”

 

The man was busy pouring tea for the two and continued to inquire, “Just now, you mentioned Immortal Lord’s disciple? Since he was accepted as a disciple by Immortal Lord himself, then should he be a powerful person?”

 

“No.” The white-clothed cultivator wildly waved his hand, his eyes full of contempt. “What powerful person, that person’s trash!”

 

“This…”

 

The blue-clothed cultivator took the initiative to explain. “Xianzun Zhao Hua has only accepted a personal disciple in his life, and he dotes on him a lot.”

 

“It is a custom in Tianyang Sect that once the disciples breakthrough the Nascent Soul³ stage, they have to go down the mountain on their own for several years to gain worldly experiences and learn from it. Even the disciples with the worst performance will also go down the mountain in ten years’ time. But that person—.”

 

The white-clothed cultivator butted in the conversation and took control over it as he sneered, “That person, as a direct disciple of Immortal Lord Zhaohua, who was been in Tianyang Sect for more than ten years, has not, not in the least bit, made any breakthroughs in his cultivation level. Is it difficult to get to Core Foundation⁴, ah…”

 

He stopped rambling to catch his breath. Then with a disappointed shake of the head and heavy sighing, “Immortal Lord Zhao Hua has such a pure and honest countenance like a cool breeze under the moonlight. He’s also a person who possessed an amazing talent and a deity-like face. But how could his eye for picking people—it’s hard to say.” 

 

The waiter asked again, “Wasn’t it said that the person was expelled from the school by his teacher?”

 

“That’s not true at all. That person is still in Tianyang Sect,” answered the blue-clothed Dao cultivator. “I heard something, not too long ago, that that guy had somehow angered and offended Immortal Lord Zhao Hua somehow and was imprisoned in the forbidden area of Tianyang Sect. It’s been more than half a month since he was locked up.”

 

“This…”

 

The blue-robed cultivator paused in his speech. He took a sip of the warm tea and put the teacup back on the table as he finished, and continued his narration. “In short, since then, there have been arising rumors that Immortal Lord Zhao Hua will definitely chase his disciple out of the sect, and intends to accept new disciples. You see, with these ongoing rumors about that person, don’t you think that the people coming to and fro here are all just waiting for the opportunity to be accepted in Tianyang Sect?”

 

The fellow finally saw a new light, “No wonder that there are so many customers frequenting here in recent days, and the shop was busier than we could take. It turns out that they’re all coming here for the Immortal Lord.”

 

Hearing the waiter’s realization, the white-robed cultivator snorted, “Naturally. The person they’re aiming for is the number one talent under the heavens. Do you think the whole thing is fake?”

 

Meanwhile, in Tianyan Sect’s forbidden area, Lingxu Cave. 

 

Inside the cave, there’s an abundance of pure and clean air circulating around the stone walls of the cavern. In addition, Lingxu Cave was a place where the sect’s disciples often went to practice cultivation in seclusion, and also for the disciples who had done wrong and were punished to face the wall to reflect on their misdeeds. Since Immortal Lord Zhaohua locked this disciple in it half a month ago and had set a ban at the cave entrance. Not allowing anyone to enter, and the outside world couldn’t hear a sound from the inside. 

 

The cave possessed the most basic amenities which were only a complete set of tables and chairs and a stone bed for the disciples to meditate and practice cultivation.

 

The candle flame hung up on the stone walls flickered, faintly illuminating the overlapping silhouettes on the stone bed. 

 

A slender hand reached up on the edge of the stone bed, and its powerless fair knuckles trembled slightly, it wasn’t hard to notice that the owner of the hand was going through ecstasy and pain.

 

“No… Stop…”  he whimpered. The originally elegant and sharp voice was slightly restrained and throaty. His breath hitched, and the end of his voice quivered softly, as the owner of the voice was in the middle of a powerless struggle against the man on top of him. 

 

No one would have thought the mighty Immortal Lord Zhaohua, who was deeply revered by the people, looked seductively sinful now. 

 

The plain white robe which was meticulously groomed was now ruined, with torn fabrics that lost all hope to patch together as if ripped by a thirsty beast. The half-lidded light-colored eyes were dyed in a suggestive mist. Droplets of water vapor hung on the long, curly eyelashes, eager to fall and streaked those flushed cheeks damper. Trailing kisses down to his jaws, the lips of the man, damped with mixed saliva, opened and closed as it tried to restrain the loose groans wanting to come out of his mouth and breathed at the same time. The swollen lips looked so fragile and beautiful as they trembled, igniting fires in his heart.

 

The man brushed his lips lightly to his ears, biting and sucking on his earlobes. His steamy breath tickled the skin as he purred words that only the shadows on the wall could hear as Bai Tu was overwhelmed with this new sensation. 

 

In his long life, he had never experienced such senseless madness. He felt light like he was being tossed in the air, with no one to rely on, and he had to cling helplessly to the person atop him as if his life depended on it.

 

An hour became two, and Bai Tu didn’t know how long it was exactly as they progressed. Then the movement in the cave gradually ceased. 

 

The surface of the stone bed was in disarray, and the two of them hugged and slept like a pair of intimate lovers.

 

Silky strands of black energy⁵ overflowed from the eyebrows of the two of them, dissipating in the air without a trace. The moment the black energy faded completely, Bai Tu opened his eyes. 

 

The light-colored eyes blinked blankly, still disoriented. The thought of getting up was being processed in his brain, but Bai Tu was stopped by the arm encircled around his waist. 

 

The aftermath of their activity still remained in his body. Bai Tu felt limp and sore all over as he fell back on the stone bed. Curious about his company’s state, he tilted his head backward and looked at the person next to him. 

 

Yun Ye’s appearance was between the boundary of a teenager and a young man. His usual deep and aggressive facial features were now relaxed and docile, which was a rare sight to see. In addition, a satisfied smile existed in the corners of his mouth as if he was in a good dream. 

  

‘This bastard.’

 

Bai Tu’s lips were tightly pressed into a line, and the tips of his ears were reddened with shame and annoyance. 

 

‘I’m afraid that there’s no one more pitiful than me in this world.’

 

For some unknown reason, Bai Tu was suddenly transported into the novel “The Era of the Devil King” and became the book’s righteous cultivator in all land, Immortal Lord Zhaohua.

 

Immortal Lord Zhaohua was initially a white rabbit that had taken the cutting-edge path of cultivation, gained awareness, and ascended to become immortal. Zhaohua decided to stay within the boundaries of the Tianyang Sect after his successful ascension, which was a sect where the male lead of this book was also staying as a new disciple, Yun Ye.

 

Yun Ye was a wolf demon. Because of his traits, he suffered from humiliation and bullying from his peers. By chance, Yun Ye happened to be accepted by the Tianyang Sect, but because he had to restrain his demonic qi⁶ from taking over, the progress of his cultivation was stunted and hard to forge. The Sect had never seen such a wood waste⁷ for the past hundred years. 

 

Facing countless snickers and slanders, Yun Ye devoted himself to studies. He cultivated hard, accumulated countless amounts of knowledge as his foundation⁸, and only waited to slap those who had looked down on him in one fell swoop. However, in the latest update, the author suddenly made Yun Ye rebel against his teacher, which was pretty absurd as it didn’t hold any logic at all. Thus, he was banished from the school, rapidly triggering his inner demons, becoming the demon king. 

 

In such a short chapter, the male protagonist, who turned into a sinister devil king, exterminated all sects of the righteous path, destroying everything and everyone in his wake. Much worse, the highly respected Immortal Lord Zhao Hua fell powerlessly into his hands and was skinned and cramped into rabbit fur knee pads. 

 

The book that he’d waited for more than half a year finally had its trashy ending. Among his mixed feelings, Bai Tu mostly felt enraged. But before he could curse the author for the trash ending, his vision went black and lolled back to his head. When he regained consciousness, he had already come into this strange world with a dying wolf pup beside him. 

 

<Ding! you’ve become the Immortal Lord Zhao Hua in《The Era of the Devil King.》 Here exists the natural order of things. There are no other rules that must be followed, except death punishment in the real world if you go OOC. That’s all. I wish you a perfect ending!> 

 

‘…Oh, curse your mother.’

 

In the original book, Immortal Lord Zhao Hua did have a special relationship with the male protagonist during his childhood. 

 

The freshly ascended Immortal Lord Zhao Hua didn’t put anyone in his eyes and was always looking ahead. Hence he didn’t lend a helping hand to the protagonist, who was in dire straits. It’s precisely in this context that Zhao Hua had been loathed by the protagonist for several years, resulting in his death with no intact corpse.

 

Thinking of his horrible fate as a pair of rabbit fur knee pads, Bai Tu didn’t cautiously hold onto the male protagonist’s thigh and tremblingly rescued the wolf pup who had fallen into a coma. After Yun Ye smoothly entered the Sect, Bait Tu secretly helped him clear the obstacles and sneakily handed him a golden touch. 

 

Bai Tu was nearly on the brink of OOC many times as he somehow begged the protagonist to not end up as a darkened male lead and kill him. Unexpectedly, devoid of his pampering, Yun Ye’s darkening came earlier without warning, catching him off guard. Even worse, the time to betray the teacher was three years earlier than the original book!

 

In the end, Bai Tu had to succumb to the original plot, eliminate Yun Ye, and mutually end himself. 

 

But when he opened his eyes, he saw the dying wolf pup again. 

 

The fuzzy wolf pup who had yet to turn bad cautiously climbed to him, nuzzling his clothes. It looked up at him with watery eyes, like some kind of a large abandoned dog. 

 

Confronted with the same scene, Bai Tu determined not to repeat the same mistakes that led to his doom. 

 

He took the risk of OOC⁹, brought Yun Ye back to Tianyao Sect, accepted him as a disciple, and carefully guided him in his cultivation. 

 

Bai Tu recovered from his memories.

 

He glanced at the arm snaked around his waist and mercilessly pushed it away, freeing himself from the cause of his distress. The moment he got up, he looked for his shredded clothing that looked like it was torn by some beast, got up as his naked body had already donned on new, neat clothing. 

 

Upright, cold and indifferent, and flawless.

 

He had changed back to the aloof and untouchable Immortal Lord Zhao Hua in the eyes of people. 

 

The previous tenderness disappeared without a trace and only the ambiguous red marks on the neckline, that couldn’t be obscured, revealed their rendezvous just now. 

 

The man on the stone bed was also given a change of clean clothes and was still sleeping soundly without being disturbed.

 

Bai Tu stared at him with a complicated look in his eyes. After a while, blinding white light flashed by from a double-edged sword, and the plain white figure disappeared from the Lingxu Cave instantly. 

 

Silence returned to the cave, and at that moment, the man turned over his body, exposing a pair of fuzzy wolf ears atop his head which had yet to calm down from their passionate activity. Still trembling from time to time, the man opened his reddened mouth and whispered, “Shizun¹⁰…”

 

The sword resembled a fine white line of flash cutting through the skies as it finally reached Luoxia Peak of Qingyun Mountain. The mountain was subjected to an all-year-round snow season and remained as was, but Luoxia Peak was the exact opposite. It was full of verdant plants and fresh spring breeze; everywhere you looked, the place shouted warm and pleasant. 

 

More than ten years ago, Bai Tu brought Yun Ye to Tianyang Sect. Then he reverted its all-year weather conditions with various methods, transforming the deathly cold Luoxia Peak into a spring-like appearance in all seasons. 

 

Luoxia Peak was surrounded by green bamboo of varying heights, and luxurious flowers and plants could be seen everywhere. Aside from the wind’s gentle whistle, there’s also a gushing of water winding down from the mountain’s summit that filled the place with relaxing warmth. Aside from that, a water pavilion courtyard was built following the stream of water called Shui Xie Courtyard¹¹, which was the residence of Bai Tu and Yun Ye. 

 

In the depths of green bamboo shoots, a trail was made within, leading to a cold water spring.

 

Bai Tu appeared by a flash of a sword. Taking a step forward, the meticulous plain white clothing suddenly fell. As it fell gently on the ground, a small bulge formed and moved around the complicated set of clothing on the center of the clothes. As he reached an exit, a palm-sized rabbit arched from the fabric and slowly hopped out. 

 

The size of this little rabbit was similar to that of a baby rabbit. Its round body and head were covered in a soft and fluffy layer of white fur. And its long and thin ears dropped compliantly behind its head, moving gently along with every breath. 

 

The rabbit blinked open a pair of bright red eyes, gently shook its ears, and jumped into the cold spring with a poof¹². 

 

Bai Tu’s tiny body was soaked half in the water, relishing along with the current as he let the water wash away the nonexistent dirt on his body. He was so exhausted that he couldn’t even open an eyelid as he wholly resigned to the water. 

 

As for why the highly respected Immortal Lord Zhao Hua got into bed with his disciple, Bai Tu reminisced about half a month ago. 

 

Back then, Bai Tu accidentally found traces of inner demons in Yun Ye. 

 

People who practiced cultivation¹³ were most afraid of the inner demons¹⁴. If they weren’t cautious, they might stray away from the right path. Fully aware that that show off of a person would end up taking the wrong step in life, Bai Tu almost knelt in horror at the scene. And hastily took the person to the forbidden area and personally helped him find a way to obliterate his inner demons. 

 

But who would’ve thought that the inner demon was so devilishly stubborn that even Bai Tu was unable to put it to an end? Instead of helping Yun Ye, a task that he had confidence in completing, he was devoured by the demon, taking advantage of his surprised state.

 

The inner demon took control of the body. Their bodies were half asleep and half awake during that night as if they existed in a dreamland. Both bodies were confused and were brimming with infatuation towards the other, eventually performing things in a hazy and haste manner, totally off the rails and out of control… 

 

Bai Tu shuddered at the thought and didn’t dare think about it anymore. 

 

After surfacing his whole body hastily, the little rabbit climbed ashore, shook his body off of water, sprawled out into a flat splat of a rabbit on the bluestone shore. 

 

Fortunately, Yun Ye’s inner Demon had been completely obliterated. This task could be counted as finished, which was good, yet, Bai Tu wasn’t happy at all. 

 

It was him who shut Yun Ye in the forbidden area, and it was him who took the initiative to expel Yun Ye’s inner demons. Moreover, Yun Ye’s cultivation was far more inferior to him. However, when the inner demon pushed through in his body last night, if it weren’t for his inability to dominate the demon, then Yun Ye wouldn’t do this either…

 

It seemed that this was a question of how he acted as a master of his. 

 

Can someone shed some light on how he should face the wolf cub now? 

  

Bait Tu turned his body upwards, his face showing a bitter expression. His heart was filled with confusion and frustration of not knowing what to do next. He raised his paws in the sun and buried his head in it. He lay still, basking under the warm cast of sun, and felt a little drowsy. Time passed by naturally and uncounted before Bai Tu’s rabbit ears popped straight up.  

 

The next second,  a cool breeze swept up by the cold spring, and the little rabbit’s figure had disappeared. 

 

Outside the barrier of Luoxia Peak, a Tianyang Sect disciple paced anxiously in front of the floating stone bridge. 

 

The Stone Bridge was the only route that connected Luoxia Peak to Tianyang Sect’s mountain peak. The former didn’t permit anyone to enter simply. Even if the school’s headmaster had something to do with Bai Tu, he could only wait outside at the bridge. 

 

Bai Tu, who had just turned back into human form and had just taken a step on the stone arch, was quickly greeted by a panicked disciple. “Greetings to the Immortal Lord. The Xianzun must see it at once! Senior Martial Brother Yun¹⁵ broke the barrier around the Lingxu Cave and is fighting with the Martial Brothers guarding the cave!”

 

Bai Tu: “……”
