I Am The Villain's Lackey With Sign-in System - Chapter 79:

Chapter 79: Yin and Yang Eyes! There Really Is Something Dirty:

Ye Liuyun couldn’t see it before.

But with the Yin and Yang Eyes, he could see right away! This realization made Qu Yingmeng’s whole body tremble.

A ghost? There was a ghost!

And it was right behind him!

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Liuyun looked at Qu Yingmeng, who was frozen in shock.

“No, it’s nothing!”

In response, Qu Yingmeng could only shake her head, still in a daze. She slowly moved closer to Ye Liuyun, seeking a sense of safety in his presence.

“???”

Though Ye Liuyun found it odd, he wasn’t overly concerned. He gently held Qu Yingmeng in his arms, then turned to face the ghost.

“B**ch! B**ch! B**ch!”

With the fully developed Yin and Yang Eyes, he couldn’t only see but also hear. The ghost didn’t seem intelligent; it just kept mumbling while staring at Qu Yingmeng with malicious eyes.

[Is this thing targeting Qu Yingmeng?]

[So that’s it, it’s Zhao Shen!]

After observing for a moment, Ye Liuyun identified the ghost—it was Zhao Shen.

Zhao Shen?

Qu Yingmeng was stunned for a moment, realizing that even in death, Zhao Shen wouldn’t stop haunting her!

Having confirmed the ghost’s identity, Ye Liuyun understood why it followed Qu Yingmeng.

At this moment, Zhao Shen’s ghost noticed Ye Liuyun’s gaze. “You can see me! You can see me!”

He became excited and rushed at Ye Liuyun.

[I get it. If a ghost realizes you can see it, it will attack. But if it thinks you can’t, it won’t!]

Ye Liuyun remained calm, even as Zhao Shen charged at him, carefully analyzing the situation. He held Qu Yingmeng tighter, understanding that she was frightened by the mysterious events.

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Liuyun looked at Qu Yingmeng with concern.

“No, it’s nothing,” she replied, softly.

“I just… miss you!”

“Ha! Don’t worry, I’m right here.”

Ye Liuyun smiled at her reassuringly.

As Zhao Shen’s ghost drew nearer, a purple light flashed in Ye Liuyun’s eyes.

The Samsara Eye, Takumi!

[The Way of the World! Soul-Sucking!]

The power of the Samsara Eye could target souls. Without needing any special spells, Ye Liuyun was able to deal with it. Holding Qu Yingmeng with one arm, he raised his other hand and, with a simple gesture, absorbed Zhao Shen’s ghost completely.

[Tsk!]

[So simple!]

He easily eradicated it. After finishing, Ye Liuyun’s expression remained calm, as if it were a minor matter.

Afterward, he closed his Yin and Yang Eyes. Although Ye Liuyun could see ghosts, he wasn’t particularly interested in hunting demons or exorcising spirits.

If he encountered one, he’d handle it, but otherwise, it wasn’t his concern.

“Liuyun!”

Although Qu Yingmeng couldn’t see the ghost, she knew Ye Liuyun had dealt with Zhao Shen’s spirit. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with emotion.

“Hmm?”

Ye Liuyun was surprised by her reaction.

“Let’s go to the room,” she said softly.

“Alright!”

What followed needed no explanation.

…

(On Zhuge Mu’s side)

“No! I have to resolve my family matters quickly so I can stay with Brother Liuyun!”

Zhuge Mu had been listening to Ye Liuyun’s thoughts. This strengthened her determination to follow Ye Liuyun closely.

Meanwhile, it was already night at the Zhuge family residence, and the place was bustling with activity.

“Have you found her?”

“No!”

“Still no news?”

The entire family had gathered in the courtyard. Zhuge Tian, Zhuge Mu’s grandfather and the family head, sat at the forefront, his expression severe, veins bulging on his forehead. Finally, he spoke, his voice filled with frustration.

“Useless! It’s been so long, and still no news about Xiao Mu. If something happens to my precious granddaughter, I’ll make you all pay!”

With the family head’s harsh words, no one dared to speak. They only hung their heads, terrified of his anger.

Zhuge Mu had always been Zhuge Tian’s most cherished granddaughter and the family’s hope for the future. It was only natural for him to be anxious after she’d been missing for so long.

“What are you all standing around for?”

Seeing everyone’s inaction, Zhuge Tian commanded, “Go out and search! If there’s no news by today, don’t bother coming back!”

With the old man’s orders, no one dared to argue. They prepared to continue searching.

But then…

“Grandfather!”

Zhuge Mu’s clear voice suddenly echoed through the courtyard. She stood there, looking at the bustling scene in confusion. “Did something happen at home?”

As Zhuge Mu walked in, looking puzzled, the entire Zhuge family fell silent, needing a moment to process what they were seeing.

“Xiao Mu, you’re finally back!”

“Come here, let Uncle check you over!”

“Thank goodness!”

The entire Zhuge family, not just Zhuge Tian, saw Zhuge Mu as their hope. For decades, she had been the family’s only chance to reach new heights.

“Xiao Mu!”

Relieved, the old man smiled as he embraced his granddaughter.

“Grandfather!”

Zhuge Mu beamed happily.

“My granddaughter is safe—of course, nothing would happen!”

Though he’d planned to scold her, seeing her safe and sound made him feel at ease.

In the end, he only shook his head, a look of helplessness crossing his face.

“Xiao Mu! Next time you go out, make sure to tell Grandpa, or else Grandpa will…”

But before Zhuge Tian could finish, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhuge Mu was a little puzzled, wondering why her grandfather was staring at her so intently.

Zhuge Tian said nothing, just kept staring, his eyes wide. Slowly, his raised hand began to tremble, as if he had discovered something alarming.

“Xiao, Xiao Mu! Have you… lost your virginity?”

Although he was an experienced warrior with physical strength far beyond an ordinary person, Zhuge Tian could tell right away. Even subtle changes in Zhuge Mu’s posture revealed the truth to him, suggesting that his granddaughter was no longer a little girl.

“!!!”

The rest of the Zhuge family, who had been observing in confusion, fell silent as soon as they heard these words. They all turned to Zhuge Mu, waiting for her response.

“Heh heh!”

Zhuge Mu had no intention of hiding it, even if she hadn’t expected Grandpa to realize it so quickly. She scratched her head and smiled sheepishly.

“You figured it out, Grandpa!”

He’d rather not have known.

“Who is it?”

With those words, Zhuge Tian’s face turned serious. His beloved granddaughter had been taken from him without a word? He couldn’t sit still.

“Who is that boy?”

Veins bulged on Zhuge Tian’s forehead. Despite his age, his ancient martial arts training meant he was still capable of formidable strength.

“Grandfather!”

Zhuge Mu wasn’t oblivious to her grandfather’s mood and decided to be direct.

“Brother Liuyun is a good man, and he takes great care of me. Grandpa, please don’t speak badly of him!”

Hiss! How could his once-adorable granddaughter now be defending this Liuyun character?

Even the others around Zhuge Tian felt a pang of discomfort.

What now? This just made it harder to teach that boy a lesson!

“Grandfather!”

Zhuge Mu continued, not forgetting the purpose of her visit.

“I came back because I have something to tell you. Once I’ve said it, I can spend more time with Brother Liuyun!”

It seemed clear now: his little cabbage had indeed been plucked.

After a moment of silence, Zhuge Tian responded firmly.

“No!”

She had only gone out once, and already things had turned out like this. If she went out a few more times, who knows what would happen?

Besides, everything was prepared. Once Zhuge Mu was back, he’d launch a full investigation into this Liuyun. Whoever dared lay hands on his granddaughter would face consequences!

“Hmph!”

He snorted twice, expressing his displeasure. Zhuge Mu, however, had anticipated this reaction and was unfazed. She declared confidently: “You can’t stop me now!”

“???”

Zhuge Tian frowned slightly, puzzled.

He knew his granddaughter well. Zhuge Mu was highly talented and had reached the Hidden Strength level at a young age. That’s why they saw her as the family’s brightest hope in decades.

But the Zhuge family had other warriors with the Hidden Strength level as well.

“Xiao Mu!”

Unable to hold back, one of Zhuge Mu’s uncles spoke up.

“Your talent is impressive, but remember, we have others here with the Hidden Strength level, some even at its peak. Arrogance is the greatest enemy in martial arts!”

Despite Zhuge Mu’s skill, he was concerned that her youth and confidence might lead her to trouble.

But in response to this, Zhuge Mu just smiled casually.

“If the Hidden Strength level isn’t enough, what about Transformation Strength?”

If the Hidden Strength couldn’t secure her independence from the Zhuge family, perhaps Transformation Strength would.

“Hmm?”

At these words, everyone in the Zhuge family was stunned. Even Zhuge Tian couldn’t hide the spark of excitement in his eyes.

“Xiao Mu! Could it be that you’ve achieved a breakthrough into Transformation Strength?”

If that were the case, her statement would make sense. The Zhuge family had lost the final stages of their martial arts techniques long ago, and there hadn’t been a warrior with the Transformation Strength ability for decades.

“I’ll show you!”

“Fourth Uncle!”

Zhuge Mu respectfully acknowledged one of her uncles, who was among the Zhuge family’s top warriors, having reached the peak Hidden Strength.

“Be careful!”

The fourth uncle nodded, offering a simple word of caution as he prepared for the test. He didn’t attack with full force, knowing it was only a demonstration.

Before, Zhuge Mu might have needed to put in more effort to face him, but now…

“Step back!”

With her internal power, Zhuge Mu easily repelled her fourth uncle, sending him backward.

Instead of feeling shame at being bested by a junior, he looked even more excited.

“She’s channeling true energy—this is Transformation Strength! Xiao Mu, you’ve made a breakthrough into Transformation Strength!”

Even Zhuge Tian momentarily forgot about his concerns over Liuyun, his face glowing with excitement.

“Wonderful! The  Zhuge family finally has a Transformation Strength martial artist!”
