Chapter 410: Protagonist Li Yuan Wants to Change

By the afternoon.

(Sigh, according to the original plot, I, the lapdog villain, don’t know that the protagonist took the Yongli Grass.)

(I think I lost it, feeling guilty, so I don’t dare to argue when Master scolds me!)

(This… is just plot necessity, to make the protagonist Wang Haoran look good!)

On his way to the first peak, Li Yuan thought this in his inner voice.

Far away on the second peak, Wang Haoran, feeling too weak and needing his aunt’s touch to recover, silently cursed—

“It is indeed plot necessity, but not to make me look good.”

“This is clearly a forced misunderstanding, making you, the true protagonist, suffer all kinds of grievances and misunderstandings, while you stubbornly refuse to explain.”

“This way, when the truth comes out later, the heroines will be ‘shocked,’ ‘guilty,’ ‘regretful,’ and ‘seeking redemption’!”

“Then you, the protagonist, can wait for them to chase after you!”

Wang Haoran guessed that with the inner voice “cheat” being blocked and the system assistant Xiaoxing becoming someone else’s servant.

Li Yuan’s protagonist halo started to take effect.

Trying to transform Li Yuan from a “heartfelt inner voice” protagonist to—

“A protagonist who gives his all but is misunderstood, and after feeling hopeless, the heroines come begging for forgiveness” type of chasing husband plot!

If it really turns into the latter, it would be very troublesome!

So, to keep the difficulty at “easy mode,” Wang Haoran must ensure Li Yuan sticks to the plot.

And to achieve this, besides needing the cooperation of Lin Xixue, Qian Anning, Shangguan Yunlan, and other heroines.

The most important thing is—

“Xiaoxing, I’m counting on you!”

＜Mm-hmm! Xiaoxing will do her best!＞

In the system space.

Hearing her brother needed her help, Xiaoxing happily shared it with her senior.

She bit her finger, her big eyes full of anticipation: ＜Senior, do you think… after helping, I can… ask brother for a reward?＞

Now, under her senior’s guidance, Xiaoxing, as a servant, had gotten used to transforming into a catgirl every morning to “wake” her brother up under the covers.

But she felt it wasn’t enough; she wanted more of her brother’s love…

＜Surely… brother likes me a lot…＞

[You’ll know if you try.]

The senior answered perfunctorily.

But seeing the junior’s eager look for affection, the senior couldn’t help but look at her own avatar.

Her gaze became more intense.

[Almost there…]

***

At the first peak.

Master and disciple faced each other.

“Master…”

“Li Yuan, you… have disappointed me greatly.”

Seeing Li Yuan being supported by others, Shangguan Yunlan coldly said.

She didn’t expect her eldest disciple to be so unruly, trying to sneak out of the Cliff of Reflection during confinement to find Lin Xixue.

Then, due to carelessness, he fell off the cliff, getting seriously injured.

At this moment, “following the plot” Li Yuan naturally looked “guilty and afraid to argue.”

However.

Seeing Li Yuan severely injured and thinking today was his last day of confinement.

The worried Shangguan Yunlan eventually waved her hand, letting them take him in for treatment.

“Sigh!”

Left alone in the room, she sighed deeply.

“With such behavior, how can he bear the responsibility of the Holy Land’s Saint?”

She was already considering replacing him as the Saint.

Originally, with Li Yuan being a lapdog, Shangguan Yunlan didn’t think this way, as he was devoted to Lin Xixue, a family member.

But now—

“Xixue is already with her junior brother and clearly doesn’t like or has rejected you.”

“Yet you won’t give up, constantly pestering, even targeting Haoran to the point of breaking Holy Land rules.”

“If you lead the Holy Land in the future, won’t you use your power for personal vendettas against Haoran?”

By then, the Holy Land would be in internal strife!

“Sigh, whether in cultivation, behavior, or mindset… you’re far behind Haoran!”

Even in appearance and demeanor!

How do you have the nerve to compete with Haoran?

Thinking of the disappointing Li Yuan and then of Wang Haoran, Shangguan Yunlan had this thought.

Then.

She stood up, heading towards the second peak.

“This time, thanks to the Yongli Grass my junior sister specially found for me…”

Feeling her injuries completely healed, Shangguan Yunlan stretched and sighed in relief.

“I must thank my junior sister properly.”

And also ask her why the herb had…

The blood on the herb, she immediately recognized as belonging to her nephew Wang Haoran.

She guessed that when her junior sister brought back the herb, Haoran, out of curiosity, took it and accidentally got his blood on it.

But for a cultivator, a small cut usually means an injury.

Feeling a bit worried, “If Haoran is injured, as his master, I must check on him…”

However.

Just as she was about to leave, she hesitated.

Then instinctively looked down at her ample chest.

Remembering when Haoran accidentally fell and… grabbed and pressed…

With her mindset, she could usually forget such things quickly.

But every time Haoran saw her, he would unconsciously glance at her chest, then act awkwardly.

Making the almost forgotten memory and feeling resurface!

Being constantly reminded, she couldn’t forget even if she wanted to!

So now.

Even when bathing alone, admiring her own body, her nephew’s face would appear in her mind.

So much so that she didn’t dare “massage” herself!

After all, thinking of her nephew’s face, recalling his touch, and then massaging herself…

That would be too weird!

“Damn, why do I care so much!”

Now, Shangguan Yunlan couldn’t treat her nephew normally.

She touched her soft, ample chest:

“It was just a touch, nothing big…”

But now her behavior seemed like Haoran had fallen into her heart and wouldn’t leave…

“……”

“……No, no! It’s all my junior sister and Anning’s fault! They keep mentioning him, two out of three sentences, so I keep thinking of him!”

“Sigh, my mindset still needs more cultivation!”

Shaking her head, blushing at her weak mindset, Shangguan Yunlan stood up.

“I shouldn’t overthink.”

“First, thank my junior sister, then… check on Haoran!”
