Chapter 198 The Affectionate Second Male Lead
Although they sometimes have urgent missions, they usually don't say anything if the mission is relatively simple. However, if the mission is long or dangerous, they will leave a letter before carrying it out. If they are killed, this will be their last will and testament. If they come back alive, the letter will never see the light of day.

Good heavens, he secluded himself for a hundred years and didn't leave behind a single word. If he were this man's wife, he would probably have remarried with his daughter.

Xu Yan: ? ? How did you know?
"I wanted to too, but for some reason, once I came in, I couldn't get out. It's like the barrier outside is out of my control." Lan An was also speechless.

"You didn't set up the barrier outside the cave?"

"Yes, I just wanted to be undisturbed during my seclusion, so I set up a barrier. Later, I felt something was wrong with my body. I wanted to go out and say a final goodbye to Yan'er, but when I tried to leave, I couldn't get through the barrier I had set up myself. And even if I wanted to take it back, I couldn't." Lan An was also puzzled.

"Then why did you call Xiang Liu over? What if he can't get through?"

"I was just giving it a try."

Xiang Liu:? ? ?
"You mean, the barrier you set up trapped you? Are you sure there wasn't someone else's doing on it?" Ling Feng found it hard to believe.

Lan An shook his head: "The aura on this barrier belongs only to me. It's absolutely impossible that someone tampered with it. As for why we can't get out, I'm completely baffled."

Mo Qianxun and Ling Feng exchanged a glance and subconsciously looked up. Perhaps, this really might be the work of Heaven.

Because it was to give the female lead a specific identity?

That's a bit... unscrupulous.

Lan An watched them look up, and curiously glanced up as well. There was nothing there except the stone wall.

"Alright, the longer I take up, the more cultivation I consume, and the less I give to Xiang Liu." Lan An said, looking at Xiang Liu, "You need to digest the cultivation I pass on to you little by little, otherwise it will burst your body."

Xiang Liu glanced at Mo Qianxun and saw Mo Qianxun nod at him.

Xiang Liu stepped forward: "Are you really sure? I understood what you just said. If you give me all your cultivation, you will die."

"I've lived a very long life, seen the mountains and rivers of two worlds, had close friends and a sweetheart. My life is complete. The only thing I can't let go of is my daughter. Don't worry, as I said before, I will leave a wisp of my primordial spirit in you. It can take a look at Susu in my place." Lan An said, placing his hand on the fifth son's head.

Mo Qianxun and Ling Feng saw a white light flowing down Lan An's arm toward Xiang Liu's body.

At this moment, 008, who had been gathering information, returned.

"It's already being transmitted? I'm still too late." 008 looked at the scene with shock and helplessness in his eyes.

"what happened?"

[Host, we've been tricked.] 008 flew dejectedly into Mo Qianxun's palm.

"What do you mean?"

A bad feeling suddenly arose in their hearts.

[Xiang Liu, it seems, will have to stay here for a while, playing the devoted second male lead.] Mo Qianxun and Ling Feng's eyes widened: "No, what's going on?"

I just found out from the Heavenly Dao that we've rewritten the plot.

"When? Could it be the time when Tu Shanli and the others took us to pick immortal herbs?"

[Well, according to the initial plotline, they should have already arrived at Su Family Fortress by now and stayed there overnight. The events of that night included a hidden plot point: the devoted second male lead being saved by the female lead. However, because of our arrival, the devoted second male lead is now a corpse. To fill this role, Heaven intends to keep Xiang Liu as the devoted second male lead.] 008 strongly objects to this. This devoted second male lead, despite being called the second male lead, is actually worse than some mere plot devices, ultimately dying from being pierced by a thousand arrows.

So, in protest, he beat up Tiandao again.

"No way, what kind of devoted second male lead do we, a mere baby demon, have to play? Does it even know how to write the word 'devoted'?" Mo Qianxun couldn't believe it.

Xiang Liu: ? ? ? Huh? Me? How do you write that? I've never learned it.

[I was furious too, so I beat up Tiandao again. But this kid actually went to my main system to complain about me. The main system couldn't do anything about it; we did change their storyline. So Xiangliu has to stay and be the devoted second male lead. Host, I'm sorry, I didn't protect him well.] This is his little brother! How can he be the boss if he can't even protect his little brother?

"It's alright, it's not your fault. We were just asking for too much. If we hadn't gone to get the Immortal Herb, none of this would have happened." Mo Qianxun looked at Xiang Liu with self-reproach.

[Actually, the main system said that if Xiang Liu isn't allowed to get too involved with this world, its fate might be better. But... if it's interrupted, neither of them will survive.] 008 sighed as he watched Lan An transferring his cultivation.

"Isn't this a dead end? No, we have to think of a way." Mo Qianxun immediately wanted to step forward.

Ling Feng grabbed her arm: "Didn't you hear what 008 said? If we interrupt him now, they'll both die."

"What should we do? If I had known this would happen, I should never have brought it out in the first place."

[Don't worry, host. I came back after I finished dealing with everything.] 008 also stopped Mo Qianxun.

"You mean, there's a way to save it?"

[Well, I asked the main system for a special privilege. Xiang Liu needs to fulfill his role as the devoted second male lead, but when his scenes are over and he's about to die, I can spare his life, bring him back, erase his memories of this world, and let him start a new life.] This was something it had begged the main system for a long time before it agreed.

Mo Qianxun frowned slightly: "Does he really have to die?"

[Yes, this is the fate of the devoted second male lead in this drama. Moreover, the point after the second male lead dies is the point after the female lead's great calamity ends. After the female lead is no longer in mortal danger, she naturally no longer needs Xiang Liu. Heaven will consider the transaction between Lan An and Xiang Liu to be completed at this time.] This is the result of its argument with Heaven in front of the main system and the Great Heavenly Dao.

Mo Qianxun looked at Xiang Liu and sighed: "Alright, let this silly child learn a lesson, so that he won't be fooled by a few words again in the future."

After Xiang Liu finished receiving the cultivation, and watched Lan An gradually lose his life, he looked at Mo Qianxun and Ling Feng, only to see the two of them looking at him with a strange expression.

"Master, you..."
