Lu Xingzhi was unaware of the relationship between Mu Jiangyue and Yin Yu; he merely let slip unintentionally that Mu Jiangyue was his fiancée.
Upon hearing this, Yin Yu, filled with jealousy, had his pride to maintain, and immediately left in anger. Lu Xingzhi did not understand Yin Yu’s reaction, but since Ling Tian Sect and the Sect Leader were already like fire and water, he didn’t bother to ask more.
Late at night, Mu Jiangyue secretly met with Yin Yu, crying to him, saying that the engagement was not her choice; it was Lu Xingzhi who had threatened her with the lives of her entire family, forcing her to agree to marry him. The person she truly loved was Yin Yu, and only Yin Yu.
Yin Yu, being a modern transmigrator, upon hearing this, immediately felt immense pity for Mu Jiangyue and thought she was a victim of feudal marriage. He swore on the spot that he would rescue Mu Jiangyue from Lu Xingzhi’s clutches. He wanted them to be together openly and honestly. They confided in each other and could not help but sleep together that night.
Yin Yu asked Mu Jiangyue to endure the temporary discomfort, to deal with Lu Xingzhi while waiting for his cultivation to surpass Lu Xingzhi’s, then he would snatch her back.
Mu Jiangyue happily agreed.
Lu Xingzhi was at the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation, whereas Yin Yu, although possessing a Heavenly Spiritual Root, had not yet matured, and his cultivation hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. But Yin Yu had no doubt that one day he would surpass Lu Xingzhi.
As a transmigrator, he had a Golden Finger.
This Golden Finger was called the Affinity System.
As long as he raised someone’s affinity above 60 points, he could randomly acquire one of that person’s abilities. If it reached 100 points, he would obtain that person’s strongest ability.
So. As long as he befriended prodigiously talented individuals and raised their affinity, he naturally could acquire their abilities.
With everyone’s abilities pooled in him, how could he not defy the heavens?
Yin Yu, having transmigrated to this world, was destined to rise above others!
In the subsequent plot, Yin Yu indeed smoothly prospered using his Golden Finger.
His cultivation surged quickly, and moreover, he became proficient in alchemy, artifact refining, talismans, etc., truly a master of all trades.
When Yin Yu’s cultivation surpassed Lu Xingzhi’s, Mu Jiangyue began to openly be seen with him.
When Lu Xingzhi questioned her, she boldly declared that she and Yin Yu were truly in love, and that Lu Xingzhi was just a villain trying to bind her with favors.
She also declared that she wanted to pursue a marriage of freedom, a life of freedom, and she wanted to dissolve their engagement!
Everyone knew. Ling Tian Sect and the Sect Leader were in an uproar.
And Mu Jiangyue, as the fiancée of Lu Xingzhi, falling in the arms of the Sect Leader’s disciple, was akin to, unmistakably slapping Lu Xingzhi in the face!
At this time, Yin Yu brought up a challenge! Saying whoever wins will win Mu Jiangyue!
Lu Xingzhi rejected this absurd invitation.
Such a duel, reducing a person to a prize?
He still wanted to properly talk things out with Mu Jiangyue.
Mu Jiangyue herself fully agreed, even provoking Lu Xingzhi with her words, forcing him to agree.
Yin Yu severely injured Lu Xingzhi, and in the last moment, planned to destroy his Nascent Soul.
That’s when Ling Tian Sword Master furiously intervened to stop him.
But the Sect Leader also acted at the same time, blocking Ling Tian Sword Master.
Cultivation completely destroyed.
The Sect Leader and Yin Yu, still mocked Ling Tian Sword Master for trying to disrupt a fair fight.
Lu Xingzhi spat blood, and from then on, never recovered.
At this point, Lu Xingzhi was already miserable enough.
However, things were not over yet.
It turned out that while pursuing so-called freedom, Mu Jiangyue had secretly been telling Yin Yu all kinds of secrets about the Ling Tian Sect over the years.
Yin Yu naturally told the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader used one of the secrets, employing the whereabouts of a white-haired woman to lure out the Ling Tian Sword Master, and then used various despicable means to kill the Ling Tian Sword Master outside!
After finding out about his Master’s death, Lu Xingzhi, overwhelmed with despair and anger, even made a deal with the Demon Clan. He gained temporary great power and was determined to kill both Yin Yu and Mu Jiangyue, even if it meant his own eventual utter dissolution.
Even after resorting to demonic means, he was still no match for Yin Yu.
Died by the sword of Yin Yu.
His corpse, emitting Demonic Qi, became the best piece of evidence, and ultimately the Sect Leader declared that the Ling Tian Sect had betrayed the righteous path and were thus expelled from the sect.
The body of Lu Xingzhi was then mutilated as a warning to others.
The remaining people of the Ling Tian Sect were likewise issued a sect-wide manhunt order.
Within this fragment.
The conclusion of Yun Jian and Lin Tiantian wasn’t mentioned, but the story continues.
This is clearly a chronicle of Long Aotian’s rise; a mere Mu Jiangyue was just one of Yin Yu’s early harem members. Later on, he conquered countless favored daughters of heaven, and utilizing their talents, he grew stronger and stronger...
He ascended to the Immortal World, then to the Divine Realm.
By the time the story ended, he had an uncountable number of women in his harem. Mu Jiangyue became just an insignificant one among that vast harem.
Shi Nian really wanted to know.
Did Mu Jiangyue ever regret it back then?
Regret was too late for her.
Because Yin Yu’s Affinity System had a mandatory setting.
Once the affinity reaches one hundred percent, it would never decrease.
All the women he conquered would remain forever loyal to him.
This dream, too long.
When Shi Nian woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.
Compared to the initial panic.
This time, after witnessing her Master being schemed against and her amiable second senior brother driven to demonic ways and later mutilated in her dream,
Shi Nian was unusually calm, so calm that she frightened even herself.
She realized that this was not a simple case of transmigration through a book.
What she has transmigrated into seems to be more than just one book.
Shi Nian’s demeanor at that moment was frightening, even the system didn’t dare to chirp, instead quietly retreating to a corner.
"System," Shi Nian calmly asked in her mind, "Just looking at the Golden Finger, this Yin Yu seems to be much stronger than Li Nanfeng. Aren’t they both male leads? Why such a big difference?"
The system was not surprised by Shi Nian’s question, and it explained, "The book involving Li Nanfeng is a female-centric tragic romance; the main perspective is actually following the female lead. For instance, apart from Li Nanfeng, there’s even a second male lead, the Demon Lord, who is about as powerful as he is. All these are to serve the female lead."
Shi Nian showed an undeniable expression.
"This book is different. This book is a male lead-centric exciting story, and everything serves the male lead. Mu Jiangyue is just a minor female lead in the early stage. In the later stages, there will be all sorts of favored daughters of heaven who will fall under the male lead’s robe! The entire plot of this book serves the male lead. So, it’s quite normal that Li Nanfeng’s Golden Finger is far inferior to Yin Yu’s."
