After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

So, Xiao Yu shamefully ran away.

"Thank you so much, Brother Liu, for taking me in. I will never forget your kindness."

Being dragged out of bed late at night, Liu Shicheng, still half asleep, asked, "Huh?"

Meanwhile, in the Outer Heavens, inside the Daoist Palace.

Dao stared in disbelief at Li Yunshang, who was covered in blood and had a sickly smile, holding her face in the painting.

What a big deal!

Chapter Five: Big Breasts and a Slim Waist – Was She Already Betrothed? Does She Still Count as a Child Bride?

Heaven and earth.

Dao's face was solemn, his small face was tightly scrunched up, and a chill ran from his tailbone to the top of his head. The large, ill-fitting robe he was wearing was soaked with cold sweat, revealing a very young body underneath.

At this moment, she had no time to take care of herself. Before her lay a painting. In the painting, Li Yunshang, who was originally arrogant and spoiled, was now slumped on the ground covered in blood, holding a small knife that gleamed coldly in her hand. In front of her lay a corpse, with a lake of blood continuously spreading from beneath it. Judging from the time, she had been dead for quite some time, and the body was already cold.

Without a doubt, it was the life-saving artifact given to her by her father that caused the damage; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to kill the protagonist who had such great fortune.

"Heh... As expected, you're not my senior brother! You're an imposter."

A slender, jade-white finger extended, lightly touching the pool of blood on the ground. The smooth, round fingertip, tinged with crimson, was placed in the mouth, and the pink tongue licked the lips, staining them with a rosy hue.

Recalling the deliberate, powerful punch in the secret realm, Li Yunshang touched her slightly swollen chin, her eyes narrowing, a fervent glint flashing in her deep, jewel-like red eyes:

"Did you discover something? As expected of your senior brother, I thought I had done a good job of keeping it secret, but... you can't escape. I will find you. What I, Li Yunshang, have set my sights on can only be mine. It can't escape my grasp. Then I can..."

For some unknown reason, Li Yunshang's face flushed, and her pupils turned into hearts.

"Senior brother...hehe...my senior brother."

After reading the whole story, Dao had only one thought in his mind.

Ruined.

…………

Unauthorized prohibited sea areas.

Inside Jumo Island, Xiao Yu was unaware of what was happening outside. He planned to go to Shenji Peak to finish building his house first.

"Ha~ Good morning, Brother Liu, thank you for waking me up."

On the way to Shenji Peak, Xiao Yu slowly yawned, looking listless and in poor condition.

"It was nothing, after all, you were sleeping in my room. It's so early in the morning, did you not sleep well last night?" Liu Shicheng asked curiously, shaking his paper fan. "Is Bai Yan's kung fu really that good? I never noticed it before!"

"Don't overthink it, she's my apprentice."

"Oh right, it's pronounced 'disciple,' but written as 'child bride,' right? I saw her climb through the window last night with my own eyes."

"Would you believe me if I said she went to find me to hear a story?" Xiao Yu looked resentful. He had even come to Liu Shicheng's place to avoid sleeping with Bai Yan, but he never expected that Bai Yan would come looking for him in person.

Last night was another warm and soft night... Ugh! A tiring night.

Bai Yan was so curious about the novel's plot that he hadn't expected her to be so fascinated. He had never seen her so engrossed when he told her about Snow White before.

So, to prevent Bai Yan from attacking him again after his house was built, Xiao Yu simply told Bai Yan the whole plot of the novel in one night, which kept him awake all night.

Although for cultivators, staying up all night is nothing, Xiao Yu felt truly exhausted.

"I believe you." To everyone's surprise, Liu Shicheng nodded, showing no sign of doubt whatsoever.

"I eavesdropped all night last night, but unfortunately, nothing happened. I was excited all night for nothing," he said solemnly.

"You son of a bitch..." Xiao Yu grabbed Liu Shicheng by the collar, his expression twisted.

"Who told you to take over my room, and bring Bai Yan along too? What... are you planning to make me sleep on your bed after you've finished exercising? This is too much of a public display of affection!" Liu Shicheng retorted without backing down, his expression equally contorted.

After a stalemate, Xiao Yu gave up and loosened his grip on Liu Shicheng's collar.

After all, it was he who borrowed Liu Shicheng's room, so he was in the wrong first.

Liu Shicheng straightened his collar, which Xiao Yu had crumpled, as if he had remembered something. He looked at Xiao Yu with a serious expression:

"Xiao Yu, I have a question for you. Does the protagonist of the story you told really exist?"

?

"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Yu asked, puzzled.

"Of course he should be executed! Who is that guy? How come so many fairies are surrounding him? What... a gentle and understanding mermaid saintess, a naive and arrogant sect leader, a cold and domineering alluring female sword immortal, and the twin sisters of the black dragon and white snake demon clan... Has this kid taken all the beautiful fairies in the world?"

Liu Shicheng gritted his teeth, his tone indignant, and he even stopped waving his fan.

"Think about me, so handsome and dashing, so young. At the same age, that kid is only at the Embryo stage, while I've already reached the Golden Core stage. In what way am I inferior to him? Yet I don't even have a Daoist partner yet. I'm all alone. Thinking about this makes my heart ache!" Liu Shicheng cried out with an expression of envy for his talent.

"It's just a story, Brother Liu, don't take it seriously." Xiao Yu patted Liu Shicheng on the shoulder and said. The resentment on this kid was so great that he felt inexplicably guilty just standing there.

The reason is simple: he had met most of the fairies that Liu Shicheng mentioned, and even enjoyed a lot of benefits from them, and had even won over a few of them. After all, he was the one taking the spotlight from the protagonist, so his treatment and experiences had to be the same as the plot.

Speaking of Liu Shicheng, who is already a Golden Core cultivator at a young age and is also the most difficult to cultivate natal sword cultivator, his talent is terrifying. If he were out in the world, he would make people gasp and cause global warming, and they would say that he has the potential to be an emperor.

He was even stronger than the protagonist Ye Feng, but such a powerful character should have been recorded in the novel.

However, perhaps because of the restricted sea area, Liu Shicheng, a genius, had no chance to go out and show his talent, which is why there is no record of him in the novel.

Therefore, Xiao Yu was quite intimidated standing next to him. However, upon further reflection, he realized that the man was already retired, so what did it have to do with him? The one who should be worried was the protagonist, Ye Feng.

He even had an impulse to release Liu Shicheng from this Demon Gathering Island to see how he would cause trouble for the protagonist. However, if he did that, Liu Shicheng would be labeled as a villain.

It's not worth it...it's not worth it.

Speaking of those female leads, Xiao Yu couldn't help but shake his head. Each one was more troublesome than the last. Compared to them, Li Yunshang was relatively easy. It was a good thing he had retired, otherwise the later female leads would have been in a terrible mess, especially since there was a yandere among them. Just thinking about the terrifying scene that would unfold made Xiao Yu feel a sense of schadenfreude.

Just wait to be hacked to pieces.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yu couldn't help but reveal a pleasant smile, which Liu Shicheng, who had just finished bowing his head and sighing, noticed.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"How could that be?" Xiao Yu quickly suppressed his smile, but looking at Liu Shicheng's face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Damn it, so what if he has a child bride apprentice? When I get out of here, I'm going to find one with big breasts, a slim waist, and long legs, preferably someone who's been married before. You'll be so envious."

Xiao Yu: "…………"

"This has gone beyond the scope of a child bride, hasn't it?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

During their conversation, the two arrived at Shenji Peak.

Chapter Six, this is simply a mutation.

"However, let me get this straight, Xiao Yu, are you sure you want to ask those guys from Shenji Peak to build you a house? I think it would be better to think about it some more."

At the entrance to Shenji Peak, Liu Shicheng stood awkwardly at the doorway, looking as if he had experienced something bad.

"What's wrong? You only told me when we were already at the door. You had a grudge against them. It's okay, Brother Fan isn't that petty. I have a lot of work to do. Besides the house, I also want to rebuild the kitchen that Xiao Yan burned down before, and get some furniture while I'm at it..."

Xiao Yu started counting on his fingers, but he didn't notice that Liu Shicheng was backing away little by little.

"In that case, I wish you good luck!"

?

"What?" Xiao Yu looked up and noticed Liu Shicheng quietly retreating. He was about to say something.

As a result, Liu Shicheng's pupils constricted as if he had seen some kind of monstrous flood. He immediately made a sword incantation with one hand, summoned his natal flying sword, and transformed into a sword light, fleeing into the distance.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Just then, a strong and powerful hand landed on his shoulder.

"Oh! We have a customer?"

!!!

The towering shadow cast down, enveloping Xiao Yu in darkness.

Xiao Yu froze, slowly turning his head to find several burly, muscular men standing behind him, looking at him with friendly expressions.

Looking at that muscular body, a sense of unease emanated from it, sending chills down one's spine. In the distance, several people were even posing, freely stretching out their explosive muscles.

Especially those arms that were thicker than his thighs, Xiao Yu silently swallowed, his body trembling slightly.

Holy crap, when did Demon Island get so many muscular weirdos?

The leading burly man watched the receding sword light, his eyes flashing, clearly recognizing Liu Shicheng:

"Hey! That figure just now, if I'm not mistaken, should be Xiao Liu, right? It's been so many days, and his body is still so weak! It seems he still needs more training. Wang Da, Wang Er, bring him back and give him a good workout."

“Okay, boss.” ×2.

As soon as he finished speaking, two giant figures shot off like arrows, their speed astonishing, completely comparable to the sword cultivator's sword light escape.

Sure enough, a short while later, Liu Shicheng's miserable screams could be heard from afar.

The sound and sight were so tragic that those who heard them wept.

Then, the leader of the group of burly men turned his gaze to Xiao Yu, his large, bell-like eyes narrowing and his thick eyebrows furrowing together: "You are... Xiao Yu? You've come back from outside?!"

"Uh...it's me. And you are?" Xiao Yu nodded, taking a step back. Looking at the muscular man standing before him like a human bear, he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.

"Hahaha... It's me, Fan Hai! It's been years! You're finally back from your travels!"

Upon seeing that it was indeed Xiao Yu in front of him, the burly man immediately wrapped his arms around his neck, twirled his elbows around his head, and laughed heartily, "You little rascal, you finally decided to come back! I've missed you so much!"

Upon hearing this familiar greeting, Xiao Yu was certain it was Brother Fan.

But... thinking back to that refined man in his scholar's robes, who spoke frankly and said that a gentleman uses words rather than fists, and whose words were full of classical Chinese, and then looking at the two-meter-tall, bear-like strongman he is now.

Xiao Yu was filled with questions. What had happened during the years he was gone? Why did Jumo Island seem so different from what he remembered?

Xiao Yan could explain it away, saying that girls change a lot as they grow up and are still developing. But what's going on with Brother Fan? I've never heard of boys changing a lot as they grow up!
