9: The Favorability System Appears, Shangguan Yaoyao's Plan

“Jiang Liu, where did you go?”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Urgent footsteps ran up to the bamboo building.

“Young Lord, you actually managed to stay alone for a day and a night this time. The sun must have risen from the west!

“Normally, if we asked you to cultivate for three hours, you’d want to tear the house down. This time, it’s really unlike something you’d do…

“So, the Young Lord found such a beautiful Young Miss. No wonder you didn’t come out for a day and a night. Young Lord, you’re truly capable and have great taste…”

???

Looking at Jiang Liu, who was all smiles, Jiang Lin was filled with suppressed anger.

Only you can joke?

Only you can talk?

Only you can praise people?

“What is Xiao Dong doing now…”

Before Jiang Lin could finish, Jiang Liu interjected:

“Young Lord, are you still bothered by Xiao Dong’s matter?”

“Their Family’s Secret Realm has already collapsed. Even the Formation Plate given by the Zhang Family is useless.”

It seems it’s still following the plot.

Later, Xiao Dong went alone to the Black Yuan Forest, found the secret realm stone, and also obtained the Icefire War Jiao as a pet.

“You didn’t participate in the Secret Realm’s collapse, did you?”

“How could I not…”

“That’s good, that’s…”

“How could I not participate? It was I who secretly instructed the Yuan Family’s people to slightly tamper with it, and I didn’t expect the Secret Realm to collapse directly!”

Jiang Liu said excitedly, “Young Lord, let me tell you, for that whole day, the Xiao Family, from top to bottom, was like people had died. They were truly unlucky!”

Jiang Lin slapped his forehead.

How foolish!

Don’t you know that as a villain, to survive until the end, you must lay low when you need to!

If you don’t act, play dead!

Hide among the villain army and let others go deliver experience packages to the protagonist!

Once you act, you must bite off the protagonist’s most crucial flesh.

Just like Jiang Lin’s annulment scene earlier.

When he acted, he crippled Xiao Dong’s kunlun mirror.

Otherwise, it would be aiding the enemy.

Just like what Jiang Liu did,

If you didn’t damage his Family’s Secret Realm, he wouldn’t go to the Black Yuan Forest, and he wouldn’t obtain the Icefire War Jiao…

This is clearly giving it away for free.

“Young Lord, don’t worry, I won’t let that Xiao Dong off so easily!”

“Daring to snatch a woman from you, Young Lord, he doesn’t know how many eyes the Horse King has!”

“It’s been over a decade, and I’ve never seen anyone dare to covet something belonging to you, Young Lord!”

“I will also help the Young Lord get back the Top-Grade Spirit Stone; I’ll make them return it twofold!”

With every sentence Jiang Liu spoke, Jiang Lin’s face grew darker.

Every single one of these sentences was about delivering experience packages!

Jiang Lin looked up at the broad-shouldered Jiang Liu and gritted his teeth, “What are you doing?”

“Taking revenge on Xiao Dong!”

“Do you know why I left him a few Top-Grade Spirit Stones?”

Jiang Liu shook his head blankly: “I don’t know.”

“Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall! That guy is a Prodigy; you haven’t investigated what he did in the Southwest Small World!”

“Hmph, isn’t it just a Small World? It’s full of country bumpkins who haven’t seen the world. What’s so Divine Qi about it?”

Jiang Liu continued, “Young Lord, I’ve already thought of at least a hundred ways to kill that Xiao Dong, yes, a hundred ways!”

Damn it, those are a hundred ways to court death!

Jiang Lin suppressed his irritation and earnestly advised, “We are all civilized people. As nobles, as the future successor of the Jiang Family, what are a few Top-Grade Spirit Stones? We have grace, we have magnanimity.”

Jiang Liu scratched his head, looking a bit confused: “Young Master Jiang, weren’t you usually petty and vindictive?”

“Didn’t you always tell us that if someone made you lose a grain of rice, you’d make them lose everything?”

Jiang Lin gritted his teeth and said, “I need magnanimity now. From now on, without my command, none of you are allowed to cause trouble for Xiao Dong, or I’ll take your lives!”

Seeing the Young Lord lose his temper, Jiang Liu could only nod repeatedly.

Jiang Lin calmed his emotions and felt Shangguan Yaoyao waking up.

His heart settled, and the plan in his mind was ready to be implemented.

First, use Shangguan Yaoyao to undo the blood sacrifice and obtain the nine heavens teleportation shuttle.

Then, through Shangguan Yaoyao, use the Shangguan Family to go to the Four Directions Secret Realm and seize the core spot in the Immortal Fallen Land!

During this process, continuously divide the male and female protagonists, and then at the critical moment, use Shangguan Yaoyao to break Xiao Dong’s defenses, and finally deliver a fatal blow to him.

Jiang Lin walked to the bed, took off Shangguan Yaoyao’s earring, turned around, and handed it to Jiang Liu.

“Take this earring to Xiao Dong and tell him that as long as he lifts the blood refinement on the necklace, he will be able to see the owner of this earring!”

At the same time, he secretly transmitted a message to Jiang Liu: “Deliver it three days later!”

To deal with a protagonist blessed by Heavenly Dao, psychological warfare is the best strategy!

On the other side, Jiang Liu’s eyes lit up, and he said admiringly:

“Young Master Jiang, is this Xiao Dong’s woman?”

“You really have methods!”

“No wonder you said not to let us deal with Xiao Dong; it turns out you, Elder, already had a countermeasure!”

“With this woman, won’t that Xiao Dong obediently prostrate himself on the ground and kowtow to you, Young Lord, to admit his mistake?”

“Young Lord, don’t worry, I will follow your instructions and ‘immediately’ send it to Xiao Dong.”

“Hurry up and send it!” Jiang Lin waved his hand impatiently, saying, “Oh, right, first bring me a table of food and wine; I’m starving to death!”

“Yes, Young Lord!”

With that, Jiang Liu disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Lin looked at Shangguan Yaoyao, who was feigning sleep on the bed, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

A grand scheme, he slowly laid it out.

The Shangguan Family is a large Family. If he can utilize them well, the road ahead will be much easier!

“Your Excellency, you’ve been in my Jiang Family for so long, aren’t you going to reveal yourself?”

With that, Jiang Lin straightened his posture and looked out the window.

“As expected of the current Young Lord of the Jiang Family, to actually discover me!”

With that, Shangguan Yaoyao’s Dao Protector appeared in the room.

The next moment, Jiang Lin’s Dao Protector also appeared simultaneously.

“You don’t need to think about saving her. I’ve already given her my life-bound poison. Unless I personally undo it, even the King of Heaven won’t be able to help!”

“Young Master Jiang, one should be lenient where possible. This time, my Young Miss was too reckless. This old woman apologizes to Young Master Jiang!”

Jiang Lin’s lips curled into a cold sneer: “An apology, and that’s it?”

“Young Master Jiang, you can ask for any compensation, as long as you spare my Young Miss!”

Jiang Lin shook his head: “Since it started because of Xiao Dong, then let Xiao Dong resolve it. I won’t lay a finger on your Young Miss. You can just stay by her side and protect her!”

“Then I thank Young Master Jiang!”

Jiang Lin waved his hand impatiently, making the two disappear from the room.

On the bed, Shangguan Yaoyao felt desolate inside, no longer knowing what to do.

“I am already an impure person; I am unworthy of Brother Xiao Dong. What’s the point of me living?”

Losing her purity to Jiang Lin made her harbor thoughts of death…

【Ding, Heavenly Dao Marriage triggered. Marriage Dao Companion: Jiang Lin!】

Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded.

What sound?

From the depths of my mind?

【Ding, this System is derived from the Heavenly Dao, a Heavenly Mandate Opportunity exclusive to the Host. Only the Host can hear the voice!】

【Ding, Affection interface unlocked. Increasing the Affection of the Heavenly Mandate Dao Companion can grant corresponding rewards! (Rewards can be obtained when Affection reaches 10, 100, 500, 1000… The higher the Affection, the better the rewards)】

The mechanical voice sounded again.

Not an auditory hallucination?

Could it really be a Heavenly Dao Opportunity?

That scoundrel Jiang Lin is actually my Marriage Dao Companion?

I have to curry favor with him to gain Affection?

Dream on!

【Ding, this Opportunity completely follows the Host’s voluntary principle. Aside from the confidentiality clause (this System must not be revealed to the outside world, otherwise it will immediately Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering), there are no negative penalties!】

【Ding, the Host can choose to give up this Opportunity at any time, and previously obtained rewards will not disappear!】

【All the above clauses are bound by the Heavenly Dao. Please rest assured, Host!】

【Hint: Reach 1000 Affection to obtain a Virginity Pill, restoring your virginity!】

【Reach 10000 Affection to obtain Pure Yin True Essence, restoring your complete body!】

【Current Affection: Unlocked (Relationship with Dao Companion is hatred, cannot unlock)】

Shangguan Yaoyao was stunned.

Able to restore her complete body!?

Even Pure Yin True Essence can be restored?

Soon, an idea surfaced in her mind.

Why not pretend to submit to him first and accumulate enough Affection?

Once her complete body is restored, she can just kill him, and no one will know what truly happened?

At that time, Brother Xiao Dong won’t know either!

Everything will become a dream!

“How do I unlock Affection?”

【Please, Host, reconcile your relationship with your Dao Companion, eliminate the source of hatred, and unlock the assessment interface…】
