Imprisoned by Forced Love! The Yandere Disciple Tied My Hands and Told Me to Be Good - Chapter 21

After Mu Chenyuan left, only Yu Jinyao and Yue Qi remained in the room. Yue Qi was still collapsed on the floor, murmuring incessantly in unbearable pain.

After a long pause, Yu Jinyao wordlessly shed his garments. Then, completely naked, he walked toward Yue Qi. He intended to dual cultivate with Yue Qi at his most vulnerable moment—before his soul was completely consumed by the Soul-Devouring Gu—to seize his cultivation.

To ensure Yue Qi was capable of dual cultivation, he had specifically brought medicine. Sitting atop Yue Qi, Yu Jinyao fed the medicine into his mouth. His slender palm lightly brushed over Yue Qi’s handsome face as he broke into a faint, lingering smile.

“Yue Qi, you will find this very comfortable before you… die!”

Mu Chenyuan went straight to the first-floor hall as soon as he stepped out. However, the hall was already empty, and Wei Lingyu was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, the Establishment Master was still there. Mu Chenyuan asked him and learned that Wei Lingyu had been sent to a room to recover.

When Mu Chenyuan asked for the room’s location, the Establishment Master replied, “If you wish to share a room with him, there is an additional fee.”

Mu Chenyuan immediately pulled off his newly bought head crown and handed it to the Master. “Is this enough?”

The Master took it and examined it, discovering it was made of extremely expensive Black Epiphyllum Jade. He immediately nodded with a beaming smile. “Enough, enough, it’s plenty.”

Mu Chenyuan was led to the room where Wei Lingyu was staying. Upon opening the door, he saw that Wei Lingyu was already awake. Though awake, he was sitting on the bed in a daze, with nothing covering his body.

Seeing someone enter, he dullly turned his head toward the door. Even though his body was exposed, he didn’t show a hint of panic. In contrast, Mu Chenyuan had a massive reaction and instinctively wanted to retreat.

But then he remembered that every guest here came for “that sort of thing.” Furthermore, he had already paid. If he just backed out now, it would be far too suspicious. He could only bite the bullet, enter the room, and close the door.

Wei Lingyu had no reaction to Mu Chenyuan’s arrival. Because Mu Chenyuan was still under the illusion set by Yue Qi, his appearance was altered. Otherwise, even if Wei Lingyu were blind, he should have recognized this man as his Martial Uncle.

Wei Lingyu’s eye cloth and gloves had not been removed. Likely assuming the newcomer was a customer, he lay flat on the bed, facing upward. His voice was full of weakness and exhaustion: “I am very tired today. I won’t be on top. If you want it, take it yourself.”

Mu Chenyuan, of course, knew exactly how tired he was. After being besieged by ten large men for nearly four hours, how could he not be? Still, wasn’t this “lying flat” attitude a bit too arrogant?

Mu Chenyuan slowly approached Wei Lingyu and stopped by his bed. He glanced at the man’s scar-covered body, smiled, and said softly, “I know why you were captured by the Sovereign and brought to Chunyu Establishment.”

“Mhm, and so what?” Wei Lingyu didn’t seem to have the slightest interest in chatting.

Mu Chenyuan wasn’t annoyed by his attitude. “Don’t you want to escape?”

“Escape?” Wei Lingyu suddenly sneered. “If I could escape, would I be in this state?”

“Do you know of Celestial Immortal Zhanwang? Even he, a Celestial Immortal, couldn’t escape. I heard he was thrown into the Demon Abyss by Yue Qi to be used by ten thousand demons; his end is no better than mine.”

Ah, well. Mu Chenyuan could only think: Kid, you can’t trust rumors!

However, Wei Lingyu’s words weren’t without logic. Although Yue Qi was currently controlled by Yu Jinyao’s Soul-Devouring Gu and couldn’t deal with him for the time being, for two “useless” people like himself and Wei Lingyu to try and escape was pure wishful thinking. Forget escaping Crescent Moon City; even getting out of Chunyu Establishment would be a struggle.

Furthermore, the Soul-Tethering Chain hadn’t been undone.

【Host, a hint: The Soul-Tethering Chain is locked onto the soul. Currently, the male protagonist’s soul is being gnawed by the Soul-Devouring Gu, and the Gu has already bitten through the chain.】

This hint from the system actually made Mu Chenyuan feel like it was useful for once! Oh wait, twice!

But Mu Chenyuan quickly realized: if the chain was broken, didn’t that prove Yue Qi was about to be gnawed to death by the Gu? He couldn’t help but ask the system: “If the male protagonist actually dies, do I still have to do the later missions?”

【Naturally not,】 the system replied decisively.

“And the prize money…?”

【Fifty million, not a penny less!】

Oh yeah!

That was exactly what Mu Chenyuan wanted to hear. He quickly followed up: “Then do I still need to do this current mission?”

【You still have to do it, because the male protagonist isn’t dead yet.】

“Then I’ll just wait until he dies, won’t I?”

【Mmm… I suggest the Host better not… gamble.】

“Gamble?”

【Because according to the normal plot, the male protagonist cannot die. However, it isn’t a fixed certainty. If the Host insists on gambling and loses, the mission will fail.】

Mu Chenyuan thought it over: “But neither Wei Lingyu nor I have a shred of spiritual power. How do we escape? You’re telling me to find a way myself, but you have to look at the actual situation, right?”

【Fine, then I will give the Host one more hint.】

The system sounded quite magnanimous: 【Consider it a favor, since the Host is the first client I’ve served.】

Wow, this broken system actually knows how to get cozy and play the social card. Truly an AI endowed with a human soul.

【Host, although the male protagonist sealed your spiritual veins, he did not destroy your cultivation. In other words, as long as your spiritual veins are unsealed, you can at least return to the Integration Stage.】

“And then? How do I unseal them?”

【Your natal sword is hidden somewhere within Crescent Moon City.】 【As long as you can obtain the sword, you can break the seal on your spiritual veins and even destroy the barrier around Crescent Moon City.】

Mu Chenyuan understood. That is to say, he didn’t need to rush to take Wei Lingyu away right now. The urgent matter was to find his natal sword first, break the seal, and restore his cultivation. Then he would return for Wei Lingyu, take him from Chunyu Establishment, and send him out of the city.

With a breakthrough point established, Mu Chenyuan ignored Wei Lingyu and turned to leave. When he stepped out of the room, the Establishment Master saw him coming out so quickly. Though he didn’t say anything, he shook his head and sighed.

He had the look of someone who had never seen a man quite so “incapable.”

Mu Chenyuan saw this, and though he desperately wanted to explain, he could only swallow his grievances and take the hit. He shot the man a glare. “What are you looking at? I’m impotent, I have premature ejaculation, and I’m proud!”

The Master hurriedly apologized: “I’m sorry, honored guest, I didn’t mean that…”

Mu Chenyuan rolled his eyes, feigned anger, and stormed off with a flick of his sleeves. Before leaving, he added, “Keep that young host for me. I’m going to find some medicine, then I’ll come back and ‘grace’ him properly.”

“Yes, yes, we will definitely keep him for you!”
