After I Transmigrated into a Novel, My Inner Thoughts Were Heard by the Female Leads - Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: Master’s Wife, I Really Didn’t Peep at You Bathing
Eastern Wilderness, Supreme Origin Immortal Sect, Flowing Cloud Peak.
“Smack!”
“Awooo!”
“Master’s Wife, I’ve been wronged! I really didn’t peep at you bathing!”
At Spirit Resonance Cliff on Flowing Cloud Peak, a handsome young man dressed in white was hanging from a crooked tree, crying out miserably at the top of his lungs.
The young man was Li Qing, a disciple of Flowing Cloud Peak.
Standing before him was a beautiful woman dressed in green. She held a black whip in her hand and glared furiously at him. This beautiful woman was none other than Li Qing’s Master’s Wife, Feng Yuheng.
“You still dare to argue? It seems I went too easy on you.” Feng Yuheng flicked the black whip in her hand.
“Smack! Smack! Smack!”
“Ahhh!”
“Smack! Smack! Smack!”
“Ahhh!”
At that moment, Feng Yuheng’s body suddenly trembled. The black whip slipped from her hand and fell to the ground as a strange red gleam flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Her delicate body swayed, and she nearly lost her footing.
“Damn it. It’s happening again.”
“The Forbidden Land… Chen Bei…”
Feng Yuheng gritted her teeth.
[Here it comes. Here it comes. According to the original novel’s plot, at this point, this beautiful Master’s Wife of mine should be possessed by the Great Emperor’s Remnant Soul from the Primordial Forbidden Land.]
Li Qing’s heart jolted when he saw this.
That was right. Li Qing was a transmigrator who had entered a fantasy cultivation novel called [Tyrant of Tyrants], becoming an insignificant disciple of the Supreme Origin Immortal Sect.
To put it simply, he was cannon fodder.
Even though he wanted to help his beautiful Master’s Wife right now, there was nothing he could do.
After all, Li Qing did not have a system…
[Ding! The system has detected a transmigrator. Automatic binding successful.]
[Ding! The Gossip System is delighted to serve you.]
“A system?”
Li Qing froze.
Holy shit.
He actually had a system!
Sure enough, a system might arrive late, but it would never be absent.
[Wait, what the hell is a Gossip System? Shouldn’t it be a cultivation system?]
[Ding! The Gossip System is a cultivation system. This system allows the host to grow stronger simply by watching juicy drama.]
[Watching drama?]
[Ding! That’s right, host. As long as you quietly watch the drama unfold, you can obtain Modification Points. Modification Points can be used to modify your cultivation. As long as you have enough points, you can even alter life and death and overturn the natural order.]
[Ding! As long as the gossip is juicy enough and fully ripe, you can also receive additional rewards.]
[Ding! The higher the cultivation of the person involved in the gossip, the more Modification Points you will receive.]
[Got it.]
Li Qing immediately understood.
Wasn’t it simply watching juicy drama to earn Modification Points, then using those points to modify his own cultivation?
As someone from Blue Star, watching drama and enjoying gossip was practically second nature to him.
[Ding! The system reminds the host that while watching gossip unfold, the host must not interfere with the plot. Otherwise, all rewards for the host’s current realm will be reset to zero.]
[Shit.]
[There are actually restrictions.]
[Well, that makes sense. Aren’t systems always like this?]
Considering how familiar he was with the novel’s plot, there was certainly no shortage of juicy drama waiting for him. This was a melodramatic fantasy cultivation novel, after all. One only had to hear a title like [Tyrant of Tyrants] to know how cliché and ridiculous it was.
Yet people loved exactly this kind of thing.
Woof, woof…
“Master’s Wife…”
At that moment, a shout came from the distant sky. Several streaks of light descended from above and landed near Feng Yuheng, transforming into two men and one woman.
The three were Li Qing’s senior fellow disciples: Zhao Tuo, Bai Changfeng, and Pei Yu’er.
Zhao Tuo stepped forward and glared furiously at Li Qing. “Master’s Wife, no wonder Junior Brother Li has been acting strangely these past few days. So he was harboring such filthy thoughts. Scum like him should have his skin peeled off, his tendons torn out, his soul extracted, and his spirit refined.”
Li Qing nearly cursed aloud.
[Holy shit. You bastard, aren’t you the one lusting after Master’s Wife? And now you’re putting on an act in front of me?]
Although Feng Yuheng, his Master’s Wife in this world, had already reached middle age, she had once been one of the beauties listed on the Eastern Wilderness Beauty Ranking in her youth. One could easily imagine just how beautiful she was.
Moreover, as the years passed, she had gained a mature charm that ordinary young men could hardly resist.
[According to the original plot, it was Zhao Tuo, this bastard, who secretly peeped at Master’s Wife while she was bathing. After he was discovered, he knocked out Li Qing, who happened to be passing by, and threw him into the room. I’m even more wronged than Dou E! Master’s Wife, you absolutely can’t believe this bastard!]
What?
At the same time, Li Qing’s thoughts suddenly echoed inside Feng Yuheng’s mind, leaving her deeply shocked.
Li Qing clearly did not speak, nor did he transmit his voice. How can I hear him?
Could this be… Li Qing’s inner voice? Can I actually hear Li Qing’s thoughts?
Feng Yuheng was stunned once again.
This was simply too bizarre.
[Not only did Zhao Tuo, this bastard, covet Master’s Wife’s beauty and peep at her bathing, but he’s also a spy planted inside the sect by the Moon Wheel Holy Land. He has been secretly providing them with intelligence about the sect.]
[Hmph. If that cheap Master of mine hadn’t died, how could this bastard possibly dare to cause trouble so openly?]
What? Zhao Tuo?
The strange red gleam in Feng Yuheng’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by a chilling light.
A spy…
Feng Yuheng murmured softly before suddenly turning toward Zhao Tuo. “Oh? Peel off his skin, tear out his tendons, extract his soul, and refine his spirit? You certainly are ruthless. As expected of a spy planted here by the Moon Wheel Holy Land.”
The moment those words fell, everyone was shocked.
“What?!”
Zhao Tuo’s heart shook violently.
This was an absolute secret that he had buried deep within his heart. How could Feng Yuheng possibly know?
No. She must be bluffing me.
After steadying himself, Zhao Tuo looked calmly at Feng Yuheng and said, “Master’s Wife, what are you talking about? What spy from the Moon Wheel Holy Land? I don’t understand. Master accepted me as his disciple when I was only five years old. You practically watched me grow up. How could I possibly be a spy? Could it be that your injuries haven’t healed yet and your thoughts have become confused?”
Li Qing was equally astonished.
There had been no scene in the original novel where Feng Yuheng questioned Zhao Tuo about being a spy.
More importantly, Feng Yuheng had never known that Zhao Tuo was a spy planted by the Moon Wheel Holy Land.
Had something gone wrong?
[System! System! Emergency call!]
Li Qing frantically called out in his mind.
Note: Any information related to the system is automatically blocked from his audible inner thoughts.
[Ding! Host, the system is here.]
[System, how familiar are you with this novel?]
[Ding! Completely familiar with every detail.]
[This scene wasn’t in the original novel.]
Li Qing had to get to the bottom of this. His entire plan depended on his familiarity with the plot so he could follow the clues and feast on one juicy piece of gossip after another.
If the plot completely collapsed, what gossip was he supposed to watch?
[Ding! Host, please rest assured. The plot has not deviated. A book is merely a lifeless object, while this is a real world. Minor discrepancies are perfectly normal.]
[Got it.]
Li Qing finally relaxed.
As long as the plot had not deviated, everything was fine.
He could continue enjoying the gossip without worry.
[Tsk, tsk. As expected of a spy personally selected by a Holy Land. His mental fortitude really is impressive. I’m afraid this cheap Master’s Wife of mine won’t be able to do anything about him.]
[If only she could kill this bastard with a single slap.]
[According to the original plot, in a few days, this cheap Master’s Wife of mine will experience the Great Emperor’s Remnant Soul’s first attempt to seize her body. Zhao Tuo just happens to stumble upon her at that time. This bastard then tries to take advantage of Master’s Wife while she’s unable to move.]
What?!
That beast!
Wait… a Great Emperor’s Remnant Soul?
How could that be?
A trace of panic flashed through Feng Yuheng’s eyes.
So the strange changes happening inside my body are being caused by a Great Emperor’s Remnant Soul.
But how does Li Qing know about all this?
Can he foresee the future, or is he capable of divining the secrets of heaven?
Feng Yuheng quickly suppressed those questions.
None of that mattered right now. The most urgent matter was dealing with Zhao Tuo.
A cold gleam flashed through her eyes.
Did he think refusing to admit it meant I had no way to deal with him?
“Supreme Origin Soul Capturing Art!”
The phantoms of the sun and moon appeared within Feng Yuheng’s eyes. A beam of black and white light shot directly into Zhao Tuo’s eyes.
In an instant, Zhao Tuo’s entire body trembled, and his gaze immediately became vacant.
Feng Yuheng looked calmly at Zhao Tuo and asked, “Are you a spy from the Moon Wheel Holy Land?”
“Yes,” Zhao Tuo replied blankly with a stiff nod.
“Were you the one who peeped at me bathing today?”
“Yes.”
“What else have you done?”
Zhao Tuo answered mechanically, “I peeped at Junior Sister Yu’er while she was bathing… and watched Junior Sister Yu’er secretly meet with Senior Brother Bai for dual cultivation…”
[Ding! Congratulations, host. The gossip is ripe. Time to feast.]
[Holy shit.]
[Zhao Tuo actually has this kind of hobby.]
[A fellow man of culture!]
