Chapter 491: Just Don’t Lay a Hand on My Master

Luo Wusheng felt like his heart was about to take flight.

Confirmed! This world’s true protagonist, the author’s yuri harem protagonist, the future strongest Sword Immortal in this world, the beautiful and adorable Little Yuli who could make even emotionless ice hearted women lose their composure—she really did have feelings for him!

Although he had already vaguely realized it before, he’d still felt a bit uneasy deep down. What if it was just special treatment during one of her "episodes"? What about that so-called world correction force or whatever...?

Now, that thin layer of paper between them was practically about to be torn apart.

He couldn’t help recalling a ridiculous comment he once saw under some unspeakable doujinshi in his previous life—What’s the big deal about playing with the protagonist’s harem? A real man plays with the protagonist too!

Though that anime’s protagonist had been male... well, whatever. The mood was the same, right?

Luo Wusheng couldn’t quite describe what he was feeling right now. After all, it was just a proactive kiss on the cheek. On the surface, it seemed less intimate than their previous lip-to-lip contact, but the feelings contained within were completely different.

If he had to say, what Luo Wusheng was actually more worried about was whether his fate could withstand this.

Even with his somewhat inflated mood lately, he couldn’t quite keep it inflated at this moment.

But everything has two sides. If the protagonist likes you, can you really reject her?

Wouldn’t rejecting her be an even greater test of fate?

Muttering to himself inwardly, Luo Wusheng kept a calm expression. His hands, however, moved with great familiarity as he plucked a branch of flame flower. With a flick of his fingers, the flame rapidly crystallized, turning in the blink of an eye into a fiery crystal blossom that shimmered in the dim space.

Even without spiritual energy in his body, with his understanding of Dao Rhythm and control over the phoenix flame, achieving this was effortless.

"A little red flower as your reward."

Luo Wusheng smiled as he handed the fiery crystal blossom to the girl clinging to his arm. "Do you like it?"

Lu Yuliu lowered her head slightly. The firelight cast a rosy glow across her cheeks as her gaze fell upon the crystalline flower, her eyes somewhat hazy.

She didn’t know whether Luo Wusheng had heard that confession she wasn’t even sure she had truly spoken aloud... From his reaction, it seemed like he hadn’t? Or had she never actually said it at all?

Gently biting her lip, she accepted the flower with its flowing, exquisite radiance. Though her expression carried a hint of uncertainty, she still nodded.

"...I like it."

"Then... how about trading it for the world’s strongest and cutest little Sword Immortal, Miss Lu Yuliu, to keep protecting me in the future?"

Before she realized it, the arm she had been holding slipped around her slender waist instead.

The Sword Fairy felt unbearably hot, like steam was about to rise from her head... It had to be that annoying guy deliberately making the phoenix flames too warm!

And now he was using that teasing tone to coax her into continuing to help him in the future? Who did he think he was?

And he was getting handsy too—tch!

Lu Yuliu felt she ought to refuse him sternly and regain her usual composure.

So she lowered her head, staring at the cloud beneath her feet, and softly replied, "Okay..."

Waaah, if he was going to say things like that, what else could she do? She was probably destined to be bullied by him for the rest of her life...

"Wonderful. As expected of my Little Yuli."

Lu Yuliu felt a kiss land gently on her forehead.

S-so strange. It was just a touch on the forehead, so why did it feel even more intense than when their lips had touched before? It felt like her heart was melting...

Her heart fluttered, yet she still protested weakly, "W-who’s your Little Yuli..."

"You already said you like me. Of course you’re my Little Yuli... After listening to so many of my stories, you should know what the word ’like’ means to me, shouldn’t you?"

The tiny bit of resistance she had left instantly vanished.

’H-he heard it?’

Lu Yuliu couldn’t quite put into words what she was feeling now. The earlier sense of unease had completely disappeared. Aside from overwhelming embarrassment, there was also an indescribable joy swelling in her heart.

Since he could still say things like that after hearing her confession, what it meant was self-evident.

Her beautiful eyes blinked, as if everything that had happened over the past month flashed through her mind.

The lunatic who had taken the initiative to approach her aboard the Sea-Crossing Boat. The bad guy who, even after they were separated, made her heart itch with thoughts of "revenge." The Pavilion Head who had naturally taken care of her life in the royal city. The tall figure who stood in front of her, fighting desperately before the Headless Buddha. The handsome young man who accomplished one great feat after another in the royal city, earning the admiration and worship of countless people, yet showed not a trace of decorum when he was in front of her...

When her last real "episode" had ended, Lu Yuliu had already understood her own feelings.

She just couldn’t say them out loud.

She was just being stubborn.

"Who likes you... You’re the worst, you big jerk surnamed Luo."

Though she said that, she didn’t struggle against the jerk’s hand around her waist. Instead, she even burrowed a little deeper into his embrace.

Luo Wusheng didn’t expose her thoughts.

This was what you called getting rich quietly.

Ah, the softness of the protagonist—so fragrant~

Ah, the breast of the protagonist—so big~

What Luo Wusheng felt most grateful for right now was the Sword Ancestor. If that exclusive cheat-provider hadn’t sliced open some ancient underworld and stacked another buff onto Little Yuli, then in his current ghostly form, he wouldn’t even be able to manage this bit of hugging.

Also, Little Yuli was just too cute. Was there really anyone in the world who could refuse a girl this adorable?

The kind of charm that even women couldn’t resist—that was the capital that made her the yuri queen in the original story!

Wasn’t the reason Luo Wusheng had been willing to read that yuri author’s novel in his previous life precisely because he adored these characters so much?

At that moment, the girl in his arms finally moved.

Not to escape his clutches, but to relax against him as she softly said, "I don’t know why, but sometimes I feel like you understand me better than my master does... Even though we’ve only known each other for a little over a month..."

Nonsense. I even know your exact measurements, know that you don’t like wearing dudou, that the undergarments you choose are mostly plain, and that you’ve been troubled for over half a year because they can’t quite hold your breast in... Luo Wusheng muttered inwardly, but of course he couldn’t answer that directly.

So instead he said matter-of-factly, "Don’t you understand me better than most people too? Even my junior sister isn’t very clear about the more unpleasant side of my personality, but I’ve barely bothered to hide it in front of you."

"You just think I’m easy to bully."

Lu Yuliu pouted as she exposed him, though a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes.

Luo Wusheng felt a little embarrassed.

That did seem to be the case... In the beginning, he had indeed planned to leave a good impression on Little Yuli. But didn’t that first episode on the Sea-Crossing Boat spiral out of control?

After that, whenever he chatted with the girl, he simply couldn’t suppress the urge to tease and bully her.

He scratched his head, only to hear his Little Yuli continue, "Actually, I think I understand you pretty well too."

"Oh?"

"For example, I know that if Bai Xiaoyao did the same as I did today... ahem—if Bai Xiaoyao confessed to you and said she had always liked you, you definitely wouldn’t reject her."

The Demon Sect’s Holy Saint stiffened.

This... he couldn’t really refute that, could he?

Luo Wusheng knew himself all too well. If there were no external pressure, he might very well choose to spend his nights in endless revelry surrounded by the young ladies of the Joyful Lotus Domain. How could he possibly reject a peerless beauty who loved him wholeheartedly?

Maybe before, he would have weighed the will of the world.

Now the world’s coffin lid had already been nailed shut.

With the Daughter of the Plane already in his arms, would he still care about such things?

But... was it really appropriate to admit something like that in front of the girl he had just successfully flirted with?

He hesitated for only a moment before hearing the Sword Immortal’s cool voice: "No need to argue. I’ve known what you’re like for a long time. In the stories you used to tell me, there were barely any male leads who only had one woman."

Luo Wusheng’s old face flushed red.

Honestly, this was mainly because most of the stories he had read in his previous life were harem novels. After he ran out of his initial creative ideas, he naturally drifted toward the genre he was most familiar with... And when you got down to it, wasn’t this very world also a harem story? Just a yuri harem...

"Back when Bai Xiaoyao and I were both holding onto your arms, you looked like you were enjoying it quite a bit. You were probably thinking something at the time too... hmph."

Lu Yuliu gave a light snort, then awkwardly looked away. "Actually, it’s not like I can’t understand it... This time, for example, I wasn’t the only one who helped you. Usually I don’t help you as much as Bai Xiaoyao does either. She’s just a tiny bit smarter than me, and she’s your junior sister. She even used to help you manage the Demon Artifact Pavilion..."

"So even if you... it’s not that big a deal. I get bullied by you every day anyway. I can’t control you."

This time, Luo Wusheng was completely stunned.

He never expected Little Yuli to say something like that, especially right after they had silently confirmed their relationship.

Was this the broad-mindedness of a protagonist? Or the understanding of someone who, in the original story, also had a harem of her own?

Of course not.

Luo Wusheng gently pulled the girl a little closer, meeting those slightly shimmering beautiful eyes with his own.

Then, unable to hold back, he leaned down and kissed those soft lips.

Just how much did a girl have to care about someone to say things like that?

Was this really the girl he had somehow managed to win over through daily teasing, half intentional and half instinctive?

Of course, when you really thought about it, it wasn’t that simple... To sincerely try day after day to make a girl happy, to tell countless stories created solely to amuse her, and to let affection gradually deepen through everyday interactions and shared trials—this was exactly the kind of process that made it easy for a young girl’s heart to stir.

Especially since Luo Wusheng was the first man to leave such a deep mark in Lu Yuliu’s heart.

And besides, Lu Yuliu herself felt there were many other reasons she could say those words.

With Bai Xiaoyao constantly by her side, practically making her feelings obvious, Lu Yuliu had long been mentally prepared... She even felt that if it weren’t for this unexpected chance to be alone together, she definitely wouldn’t have acted faster than that vixen.

Moreover, during this period, she and Bai Xiaoyao had discussed Luo Wusheng engagement, cursed the Demon Sect’s Sect Master ten thousand times together, formed and broken an alliance pact, and planned how to help Luo Wusheng overcome his tribulation... The two girls had come to understand each other’s feelings more and more clearly.

If her fellow sister-wife were someone like Bai Xiaoyao, Lu Yuliu truly felt she wouldn’t be too upset.

Anyway, whatever faint trace of discomfort there might have been seemed to dissolve completely in this wholehearted kiss.

This was the first kiss Lu Yuliu had ever experienced while fully conscious—one where she wasn’t simply overwhelmed by shyness, but instead devoted herself entirely to feeling it.

The surroundings grew very quiet, with only the sound of their heartbeats echoing endlessly.

The Sword Fairy even began to regret why she had waited until today to confess her feelings to him.

If, after her last episode ended and she had seen her own heart clearly, she had just been a little braver...

Mm, there was no such "if." Instead, this time they were about to be separated for a long while.

Resurrection required forty-nine days. By then, the Ancient Heavenly Gate might also open. And once she entered the Ancient Heavenly Gate, who knew when she would see him again...

With that thought, the girl who had just been passively receiving the kiss gradually began to take control of her own soft, tender tongue.

After a long while, the two finally separated, both breathing through their mouths.

Luo Wusheng looked into those misty eyes and once again bitterly resented the fact that he didn’t have a physical body this time to do a dual cultivation with her.

But he was content—utterly without regret or disappointment. He simply held the girl in his arms and let her rest against half of his chest.

Lu Yuliu also forgot her earlier stubborn words, her face filled with ease and satisfaction.

"In a little while, are you going to disperse again and start resurrecting?" the girl asked softly.

Luo Wusheng nodded. "Mm. In this state, I can last at most one hour."

"Then are you going back down to the royal city later to handle the ’aftermath’?"

"Actually, it wouldn’t be necessary... but since there’s time, saying goodbye would be nice."

Luo Wusheng smiled and gently ruffled the Sword Immortal’s hair. "And I can send you down on the way."

Lu Yuliu didn’t ask why he could suddenly remain for so much longer. She lay comfortably for a while, then suddenly sprang upright as if remembering something.

"Oh, right! Speaking of that, isn’t your relationship with the Empress a bit strange too? You even have a marriage contract with her..."

"Huh? Uh..."

Luo Wusheng froze, unsure how to respond, only to see the girl slump back down as if her strength had been drained.

"Forget it, forget it. I already said it’s not that big a deal..."

The Demon Sect’s Holy Saint blinked.

If Little Yuli really had this kind of attitude, then that one issue with Ling Shuangxue that he had never known how to resolve seemed like it could just—

"As long as you don’t lay a hand on my master, that’s enough."

The words that had reached Luo Wusheng’s lips were instantly swallowed back down.

The girl didn’t notice, because she was thinking about something else.

She had finally reached this point—even surpassing Bai Xiaoyao, whom she privately considered to have a greater advantage, and becoming the first of his dao companions. Yet she and him were still only doing what they had done before. Wasn’t something missing?

And they were about to part soon... A mere hour wasn’t even enough to hold each other properly.

But if she wanted to go a step further...

Lu Yuliu fell into deep thought.

And so, because of certain reasons, Luo Wusheng—who didn’t dare say anything more at the moment—suddenly saw the girl in his arms flip over for some unknown reason.

Their faces drew closer and closer.

Just when Luo thought his Little Yuli was about to kiss him again, the girl gently pressed her forehead against the center of his brow.

At the point where they touched, a faint, strange radiance began to glow.
