In the cabin of the Sea-Crossing Boat, in the small room where Luo Wusheng, the Holy Saint of the Demon sect, resides, lay a man, he was deeply lost in thought while feeling the wonderful touch on his body.
What happened last night?'
He vaguely remembered that he had made a simple game of chess with a man-made chess piece carved from exquisite jade stones from his storage bag, just to get closer to the protagonist.
After explaining the simple rules to the little girl, Lu Yuliu, who was still filled with competitive spirit, played against him all night.
So far, there was no problem.
It wasn't until this morning that he asked the little girl to study the tactics of chess by herself for a while, while he found a comfortable place on the deck to finish writing yesterday's diary and add the beginning of today's.
Then he returned to his room, ready to continue to bloodily defeat Lu Yuliu again.
And then it became what it is now.
Exhaling a breath of stale air, with a slightly calmer mood, Luo Wusheng looked down at the girl who was tightly attached to him.
The girl also blinked at him, looking pitiful.
Hmm, she's definitely having one of her stupid mode.
As the original protagonist of the story, Lu Yuliu Lu Yuliu has a "Golden Finger", Xianxia-version of cheat, and for this protagonist, her cheat is the ordinary-looking wooden sword that she always carries around her waist.
It was the sword that accompanied the first master of the Sword Sect, the ancient Sword Ancestor, for almost his entire life.
In the original story, Lu Yuliu obtained the wooden sword by chance and was baptized by the Sword Ancestor's power. Overnight, she achieved the "Flawless Sword Body" and "Exquisite Sword Heart," setting foot on the path of the protagonist.
But gifts from fate always come with corresponding costs.
The cost that Lu Yuliu has to pay is these randomly triggered episodes.
The episodes last for twelve hours. During the episode, her mental state will greatly decline, and she will develop a strong dependence on people she originally had a certain level of fondness for.
Every time Lu Yuliu has to conquer the future member of her all-girls harem, she will have an episode to break the subtle barriers between the girls and smoothly collect the harem members.
Luo Wusheng remembers that many readers were eagerly waiting for the plot of the protagonist's episode, because at that chapter, it's a NSFW kind of episode where many readers masturbate into.
To be honest, he had thought that the journey to the Royal City with the protagonist would not go smoothly, but he never expected that her episode would come so suddenly, and the situation would be completely beyond his expectations.
What does this mean? Does this mean that he would also become this little girl harem member?
Luo Wusheng fell into unprecedented chaos, feeling a bit stiff, and not knowing what to do.
But the person clinging to him moved.
"... Why don't you hug me? Do you not love me anymore?"
Lu Yuliu pouted and looked at Luo Wusheng, her eyes seemingly misty.
"Um, well, this..."
Luo Wusheng's restless hand moved closer to the girl in his arms, but he hesitated.
"Waaah, you don't love me anymore!"
The girl immediately burst into tears.
Luo Wusheng felt his scalp tingle.
What should he do? Should he really hold her? Even though it was her own request, what if she turns on him when she comes out of her stupid state?
Thinking of the girl's identity as the protagonist and glancing at her current ordinary appearance, Luo Wusheng's slightly lecherous thoughts receded.
Anyway, he needed to cheer up this young miss first.
He quickly had an idea.
Flipping his palm, a piece of Star-Moon Jade flew out of his storage bag and landed in his hand.
This Star-Moon Jade was slightly different from the one he gave to Bai Xiaoyao.
The one he gave to Bai Xiaoyao could reflect countless stars, but this Star-Moon Jade only had the reflection of a single star. However, this star was incredibly bright, and its beauty was not inferior to the one he gave to Bai Xiaoyao.
As he expected, the young girl in his arms, who had the mental capacity of a child, quickly stopped sobbing and stared at the jade in Luo Wusheng's hand without blinking.
Indeed, she was only at the level of a child.
Luo Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "This thing is called the Star-Moon Jade. It is made from the essence of the Moon Palace and the spirit of the stars. There is only one of its kind in the world."
"Do you want it? If you want it, then be a good girl and get off me, and sit on the bed."
He coaxed her with a gentle voice.
After what seemed like a mental struggle, the little girl slowly nodded, loosened her hands and feet wrapped around Luo Wusheng, and obediently sat on the nearby bed.
Throughout the process, her gaze remained locked onto the Star-Moon Jade in Luo Wusheng's hand, afraid that it would disappear with a blink of an eye.
Luo Wusheng looked at the obedient little girl and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, just like when he made a headdress for Bai Xiaoyao, he patted his storage bag, took out a few things, and began to polish and polish them with spiritual power.
Finally, with a press of his palm, these things were combined together and turned into a necklace hanging the Star-Moon Jade, dotted with star diamonds.
"Come, let me help you put it on."
Luo Wusheng said softly, and his gaze met with Lu Yuliu, gesturing for her to tuck her hair near her neck.
Although Lu Yuliu had regressed mentally, she quickly understood Luo Wusheng's meaning at this moment and revealed her pure white neck.
Until Luo Wusheng hung the Star-Moon Jade pendant on her chest, she carefully put down her green hair, looking somewhat apprehensive at Luo Wusheng.
"Is it— is it pretty?"
Hearing her question, Luo Wusheng nodded his head with a smile.
To be honest, it was still a bit weird, because Lu Yuliu, after using her disguise, is not someone who can be called as a beauty. In this case, her wearing the Star-Moon Jade always had a somewhat inexplicable sense of disconnection, unlike the feeling of perfect control over it by Bai Xiaoyao.
However, the little girl was clearly happier after receiving Luo Wusheng's response, playing with the jade pendant hanging on her chest and emitting a foolish laugh.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and glanced at her own palm.
Then she gently took off a ring that was worn on her ring finger.
"Is— is it prettier like this?" The girl asked with a slightly shy voice.
Facing the girl's appearance, which was now the furthest away from plain and unremarkable, Luo Wusheng opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
His mind couldn't keep up with the scene before him.
In an instant, the plain-looking girl disappeared from his sight.
Instead, a beautiful girl appeared before him with hair like a waterfall, skin like condensed fat, and a face as exquisite as a goddess.
Her eyebrows were like autumn water, and her jade-like skin accompanied the clear breeze.
The attire of the Demon Sect disciple clearly no longer fit her, and her huge 'cultivation base' made her robe bulge out. The Star-Moon jade pendant fell perfectly on it, blending perfectly with her cultivation base.
Luo Wusheng, who thought he had developed resistance to beauty after encountering Bai Xiaoyao, was immediately defenseless.
After all, this girl before him is a a good-looking girl who could make even another girl's heart go "Doki doki" —- A normal hormonal teenager like him couldn't resist such sight.
If the other party had removed the disguise from the beginning, he probably wouldn't let her go from his side, right?
It's a pity, she was a lesbian and even had a harem full of girls.
After realizing this, Luo Wusheng clearly felt that his resistance to beauty had increased even more.
"Well, although the Star-Moon Jade is beautiful, it can only highlight your beauty..." Luo Wusheng sincerely exclaimed, "The only Star-Moon jade in this world is indeed prepared for you."
"N-No, don't praise me like that." The little girl was a bit embarrassed. "Shall we continue playing chess? I think I can win the next round!"
But Luo Wusheng shook his head.
What's the point of torturing a mentally challenged little girl? If I really start playing chess, I'm afraid the little girl I just coaxed will start crying again. Although the scene of a beautiful girl crying is quite pleasing to the eye, Luo Wusheng is afraid that the protagonist will bear grudges against him in the future— After all, he has placed some hope of getting through the Demon Purging War alive by relying on this girl.
The beautiful Lu Yuliu's eyes began to show some disappointment, but the next sentence from Luo Wusheng made her eyes light up.
"Let's not play chess anymore, instead, I'll tell you a few stories."
Luo Wusheng's lips curled up as he said so.
