In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 64 System: Host is awesome!
[The Demon Lord's quest has been updated!]

[Task: Pushing Hands (In Progress)]

【Please do everything in your power, using your most adept methods of manipulating people, to sway the righteous genius Taibai Yuxi and make her completely sway towards the demonic path!】

[Quest Progress: Demonization Level: 50%]

[Quest Reward: Purple Title "Demon Lord"]

[Note: This mission is extremely dangerous. The host may be killed by the corrupted Taibai Yuxi at any time. Please ensure your personal safety during the mission!]

Even you, this damn system, know that this mission is dangerous, and that I, the host, am at risk of being sacrificed at any moment!

And what do you mean by "execute"?
That's not a good word choice! Why do you make me sound like a demon that everyone should kill?

Su Yuan was speechless.

Moreover, he simply couldn't bring himself to push a little girl towards darkness.

All signs indicate that if Taibai Yuxi turns evil, it will be in the literal sense, not like how she tricked Chen Nuoyi into falling into evil by learning a corpse-refining technique.

Of course, the fact that the church taught Chen Nuoyi to refine corpses using ancient methods is indeed quite depraved from a certain perspective.

In short, although the title of "Demon Lord" was very intimidating, Su Yuan was already considering giving up on the mission.

Moreover, regardless of whether she abandons the mission or not, once the White Snake dies, there is a more than 90% chance that Taibai Yuxi will turn evil.

The thought of this gave Su Yuan a terrible headache.

Taibai Baiji is her future teacher, and she will inevitably have to deal with Taibai Yuxi in the future.

Even for his own safety, he absolutely could not allow the white-haired loli to turn into a real witch who wreaks havoc on the world!

We must stop this! Go against the system!
Su Yuan quickly took stock of his existing abilities, hoping to find a way to help Taibai Yuxi regain her composure.

Abyss Lineage?

Increased sensitivity and physical control will be blocked if used.

Demonic Technique: Finger Weapon?

I don't have any magic weapon that can help.

Demonic Skill: Finger Spirit?

As the spirit pet of Master Taibai, Bai Ling is probably tired of all kinds of elixirs and medicines. Would anyone even want the pills that she refines herself?
Ancient methods of corpse refining?

While turning Bai Ling into a zombie would indeed seal her soul within her body, Bai Ling would also lose her self-awareness, making her practically indistinguishable from being dead.

And is it sure that doing this won't set a bad example for white-haired lolis?

After much thought, Su Yuan could only come up with a solution that was hardly a solution at all.

That is to activate "Fate Change" and make the Demonic Skill - Command Pointing operate at full power.

Even if it were to change fate, it could only alter Bai Ling's lifespan on that day at most, extending her life by two or three days at most. It was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause!
In the end, Su Yuan could only come to one conclusion.

It can't be saved, let it be destroyed.

However, when Su Yuan saw the white-haired loli squatting beside Bai Ling, stroking the white snake's head and looking heartbroken, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up just like that.

If we can't save Bai Ling, at least we shouldn't let this girl turn evil.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Su Yuan.

If we could find a new pet for the white-haired girl, would it ease her sadness?
By the way, do I still have a quest reward called "Blood Beast Breeding Method" that I haven't claimed yet?
Although we don't know exactly what kind of blood beast this method produces, who knows, it might be able to be used as a pet for Taibai Yuxi?

After spending several hours with Taibai Yuxi, Su Yuan finally understood some aspects of this little girl's personality.

Although she has the ability to identify demonic auras, she is not the type to eliminate demons and defend the righteous path.

On the contrary, Su Yuan felt that this girl was somewhat fascinated by demonic methods.

For example, the white-haired loli was eating the Dragon Scale Roast Goose so happily that Su Yuan initially thought it was because she didn't realize that the Dragon Scale Roast Goose was a zombie.

But looking back, this girl probably recognized the Dragon Scale Roast Goose as a product of the demonic path at first glance.

The fact that she still ate with great relish speaks volumes.

Following this line of thought, if we gave her a pet crafted using magical methods, she should like it and it would distract her a lot.

The problem is, I haven't completed Yin Qiyue's favorability quest yet, so how can I get my hands on the Blood Beast Breeding Method?
Su Yuan had a sudden thought, brought up the system panel, and looked at the mission progress. [Mission: A Vassal's Vassal (In Progress)]

[Task Progress: Favorability (90/100)]

He spends all his time livestreaming with Yin Qiyue, and by now, his favorability towards her has increased to this level.

Just inch forward a little more, and the task will be complete.

Su Yuan thought for a moment and then said to Tai Baiji:
"Master Taibai, I suddenly remembered that I left the spiritual energy furnace at home on. May I go and make a phone call?"

Tai Baiji waved his hand casually.

Su Yuan quickly went to the balcony and dialed Yin Qiyue's number.

"Su Yuan, what happened?"

Yin Qiyue asked with concern.

Su Yuan lowered his voice and said:
"Don't speak, just listen to me."

"I'll probably be quite late after I leave Taibai Zhenren's house, so I won't be going to work at the bubble tea shop. Can you cover my shift?"

"Oh, you want me to cover your shift?"

The person on the other end also lowered their voice, but there was no resentment in their tone that belonged to someone working overtime; instead, there was a hint of smugness.

Su Yuan continued:
"I will also send a message to Chu Lanxi, telling her that only you and Chen Nuoyi will be in charge of the front desk at the milk tea shop. Once you get to the shop, do a good job, be energetic, and don't embarrass yourself."

[Yin Qiyue’s favorability +10]

Ha, what an easy woman to handle.

Su Yuan slammed down the phone.

[Task: A Vassal of a Vassal (Completed)]

[Task Reward: Blood Beast Breeding Method (Already Issued)]

[Blood Beast Cultivation Method: By fusing the essence blood of spirit beasts, the spirit beasts are transformed into blood beasts that are completely obedient to their masters.]

A wealth of knowledge immediately flooded into Su Yuan's mind, allowing him to understand everything about this demonic art.

Su Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy.

Because the effects of the Blood Beast Cultivation Method far exceeded his expectations, he actually had a real chance of protecting Bai Ling with this method!
The effects of this method can be simply divided into two parts: creating blood beasts and nurturing blood beasts.

Creating a Blood Beast: By stripping away the essence and bloodline of a spirit beast, refining it, and then injecting a highly intelligent soul into it, a blood beast with combat power no less than that of the spirit beast itself can be created, which will be obedient to its master.

Nurturing Blood Beasts: Infusing the blood essence and bloodline of other spirit beasts into a blood beast can increase its potential and combat power. The more spirit beast bloodlines it fuses with, the stronger the blood beast will be, and the higher its upper limit will be.

Without a doubt, this is an absolute demonic art!

In ancient times, demonic cultivators, lacking the methods to tame beasts, simply killed the spirit beasts they captured and refined them into blood beasts to serve them.

Furthermore, in order to enhance the spirituality of the blood beasts, the demonic cultivators might inject the souls of living people into the blood essence of the spirit beasts, which shows how evil this method is.

However, in Su Yuan's view, the Blood Beast Breeding Method, setting aside its cruel and bloody core, also has its merits.

For example, if a spirit pet is severely injured and near death, its owner can use the Blood Beast Breeding Method to revive it.

Simply extract the spirit pet's essence and bloodline, and then inject the spirit pet's soul into this new body.

There won't even be any rejection reaction, it's very convenient!
Having mastered this method, Su Yuan was already confident of success.

He returned to the kitchen and said to Tai Baiji:
“Master Taibai, I have a family secret technique that might be able to save Bai Ling. I wonder if you and Yu Xi would be willing to give it a try.”

Upon hearing this, both father and daughter turned their gazes toward Su Yuan.

Taibai Yuxi asked with some surprise:
"Big brother, what exactly is the method?"

Su Yuan solemnly said:
"Let's kill Bai Ling first."

Tai Bai Tianji, Tai Bai Yu Xi: "???"

[Ding-dong! Host is awesome!]
