After Transmigrating into a Villain, I Conquered the Yandere Demon Lord by Going Crazy - Chapter 2

When Xie Lin was carried back to the Xuantian Sect by Xiao Jinn, he was completely bewildered.

According to the original plan, he should have been beaten half to death, thrown into the water dungeon, and then taken advantage of the chaos to disguise himself and escape.

But now,

He looked down at the snow-white disciple robes on his body and then glanced at Xiao Jinn, who was decocting medicine, his mouth twitching.

“This… Senior Brother?”

Xie Lin probed tentatively: “Actually, I was just passing by…”

“Cold poison has entered your body, causing your meridians to rebel.”

Xiao Jinn didn’t even lift his head, the sound of the jade pestle grinding the herbs crisp and pleasant to the ear:

“If this drags on for another half-hour, your heart meridians will be shattered.”

Xie Lin nearly bit his tongue.

It was true that he had used demonic arts to fake internal injuries, but how could it be that serious?

How could this male lead spout such nonsense with his eyes wide open?

[Host, he is bluffing you.]

The system suddenly spoke up: [Xiao Jinn has an innate Sword Bone and is extremely sensitive to demonic energy!]

Xie Lin’s alarm bells rang out immediately.

Had he been discovered?

Just as he was thinking of how to respond, the room door was pushed open.

A young girl wearing double buns bounced inside, carrying a food box in her hands.

“Senior Brother! I brought you… eh?”

The young girl saw Xie Lin, and her eyes instantly lit up like two small lanterns: “Who is this?”

“Picked up at the foot of the mountain.”

Xiao Jinn was concise and to the point: “Junior Sister, go fetch a new set of bedding.”

The young girl, called Junior Sister, took three steps in two and rushed to the bedside. She stared at Xie Lin’s face over and over again, suddenly letting out a sharp intake of breath:

“What a beautiful Junior Brother! Senior Brother, you’ve finally opened your mind!”

Xie Lin: “……?”

Xiao Jinn’s hand grinding the herbs paused, the tips of his ears turning red at a rate visible to the naked eye: “What nonsense are you talking about.”

“My name is Lin Miaomiao, an inner disciple of the Xuantian Sect!”

The young girl completely ignored her Senior Brother’s embarrassment, enthusiastically grabbing Xie Lin’s hand.

“What is Junior Brother’s name? Where do you live? Do you have a spouse?”

Xie Lin was dizzy from the barrage of rapid-fire questions.

Even more terrifying was that as Lin Miaomiao leaned in closer, the Heart-Eating Lotus within him suddenly became agitated—

This girl had the scent of spirit medicine on her!

“I… my name is…”

Xie Lin’s mind raced: “Ye Mian, I am a rogue cultivator.”

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Jinn suddenly looked up at him. That gaze was like the bright edge of a sword, sending a chill down Xie Lin’s back.

“Friend Ye, rest well.”

Xiao Jinn set down the medicine bowl, his tone terrifyingly calm: “Tomorrow, I will take you to meet the Sect Leader.”

After Lin Miaomiao was sent away to fetch the bedding, Xie Lin immediately began to go crazy in his mind, calling the system:

“What’s going on? Has he discovered something?”

[Detected Xiao Jinn’s emotional fluctuations: Suspicion 70%, Curiosity 30%]

The system added gloomily: [Friendly reminder, in the original book, Xie Lin’s biological mother’s surname was Ye!]

Xie Lin nearly rolled off the bed.

What kind of hellish coincidence was this?!

“That… Senior Brother Xiao.”

He braced himself and spoke: “Actually, my injuries aren’t serious; tomorrow I will…”

Xiao Jinn carried the green porcelain bowl to the bedside, naturally sitting down on the edge of the bed: “The medicine is ready; drink it while it’s hot.”

The pitch-black medicinal juice in the bowl emitted a bizarre odor.

As a modern person, Xie Lin knew nothing about the herbs of the cultivation world, but his intuition told him that this stuff was absolutely not normal.

“Many thanks for your kindness, Senior Brother.”

He forced a smile and shrank back: “I’ve been afraid of bitterness since I was a child…”

“Three coins of honey have been added.”

Xiao Jinn gently stirred it with a spoon, suddenly lowering his voice: “Or could it be… the young master of the Demon Sect isn’t used to the medicine of our righteous path?”

Xie Lin’s blood instantly froze.

“Senior Brother is joking.”

He forced himself to stay calm, his fingers in his sleeves already digging into his palms: “What Demon Sect…”

Xiao Jinn suddenly reached out and brushed past the back of his ear.

The cool fingertips grazed his skin, bringing a wave of tremors.

“Disguise art is not bad.”

A glimmer of spiritual light shone from Xiao Jinn’s fingertips, reflecting the faint lotus pattern behind Xie Lin’s ear:

“But the mark of the Heart-Eating Lotus is recorded in the Xuantian Sect’s classics.”

Xie Lin knew he couldn’t keep up the charade.

He suddenly burst into action, the demonic energy gathered in his hand striking directly at Xiao Jinn’s throat!

Who would have thought the other party was already prepared; he tilted his body to avoid it easily, his backhand gripping Xie Lin’s wrist.

“Don’t move.”

Xiao Jinn’s voice remained calm, yet carried an irresistible force:

“The demonic energy in your heart meridians is running wild.”

Only then did Xie Lin realize that the demonic energy within him, which had been stable, was indeed truly running amok.

The Heart-Eating Lotus mark felt scalding, and the Heart Demon Value had unknowingly risen to 45%.

[Warning! If the Heart Demon Value exceeds 50%, a random social-death behavior will be triggered!]

“Did you… poison me?” Xie Lin gritted his teeth.

Xiao Jinn shook his head, taking a jade bottle from his sleeve.

“It is a rejection reaction naturally produced when the Heart-Eating Lotus senses the Xuantian Sect’s mountain-protecting array.”

He poured out a glowing white pill: “Cleansing Heart Pill, it can suppress it temporarily.”

Xie Lin was skeptical.

But the increasingly intense burning sensation in his heart left him no choice.

Swallowing the pill from Xiao Jinn’s hand, a cooling sensation immediately spread from his throat to his limbs.

“Why help me?”

Xie Lin asked guardedly: “Isn’t the Xuantian Sect irreconcilable with the Demon Sect?”

Xiao Jinn put away the medicine bottle and suddenly said something completely unrelated: “Three years ago, the Left Emissary of the Nether Palace saved a young boy.”

Xie Lin was startled.

This was indeed mentioned in the original book, but that was…

“That young boy is you?!”

Xie Lin was so shocked he forgot to fake it: “But in the original… I mean, isn’t the rumors saying the eldest disciple of the Xuantian Sect grew up in the sect since he was a child?”

He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.

This kind of reaction was practically confessing without being coerced.

Xiao Jinn, however, didn’t seem to care about his slip of the tongue, nodding slightly instead: “It really was you.”

His gaze fell on Xie Lin’s face, carrying a bit of inquiry: “The demonic cultivator who detoxified me back then used the same technique to suppress the Heart-Eating Lotus.”

Xie Lin’s brain operated at high speed.

In the original book, Xie Lin was indeed skilled in medicine, but he had learned that from the Right Emissary.

Could it be…

“I don’t remember that happening.”

He answered cautiously: “The Right Emissary did teach me medicine.”

Xiao Jinn’s tone suddenly turned cold: “It wasn’t Xie Wuchen.”

“It was a woman in green, with a cinnabar mole between her brows.”

Xie Lin’s heart shook violently.

Green robes, cinnabar mole…

Isn’t this the description of Xie Lin’s biological mother in the original book?

But the novel clearly stated that she died when Xie Lin was five…

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

Xie Lin said decisively: “My mother passed away long ago.”

Xiao Jinn stared fixedly at him for a moment, then suddenly released his grip: “Tomorrow at the hour of the dragon (7-9 AM), I will take you to meet the Sect Leader.”

He turned and left, but stopped at the door: “By the way, what was that ‘original book’ you mentioned earlier?”

Xie Lin: “…”

It’s over!

Why does this male lead only ask such deadly questions!!

“You heard wrong.”

He forced himself to stay calm: “I said ‘original’… originally-sustained old injuries.”

Xiao Jinn made no comment and pushed the door open to leave.

Xie Lin had just let out a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Miaomiao’s voice from outside the window:

“Senior Brother! The bedding you asked me to get!”

“Send it to the West Wing.”

“Eh? So the Junior Brother isn’t living with you?”

Xie Lin listened to this dialogue, suddenly feeling his heart grow very tired.

How is it that everyone in this Xuantian Sect, from top to bottom, seems to be a little abnormal?
