01

When Xu ZiYan woke up, all he could think about was how his head hurt like it was splitting.

It was as if someone had taken a chisel and knocked open his skull, before they poured a bunch of memories into it. Finally, when it seemed like those memories could no longer be poured down, a hammer was then used to ruthlessly hammer in the excess left over.

“Wu……” Xu ZiYan let out a moan of pain as he cradled his head and rolled around on the floor.

He had never before thought that he would be someone who was afraid of pain, but the kind of soul tearing pain happening right now was really quite frightful.

“Fuck!” Xu ZiYan rolled around for approximately a minute before that acute pain suddenly disappeared as if it was never there in the first place.

He weakly cursed a bit as he lay paralyzed on the ground, his body so soft it felt akin to cotton.

The memories that were just forcefully pumped into him began to do their proper duties. Scene after scene appeared as if he was watching a film, and like that he finished watching a man’s whole life. If it wasn’t for the fact that this man and him had the same appearance, he would have really just treated it as watching a movie.

Forcefully propping himself up so he could get up from the ground, the glare of the sunlight made him slightly squint. Lifting up a hand covered in the granules of crushed stones, although he already had a premonition, Xu ZiYan still couldn’t help but blurt out a curse: “Fuck!”

The palm in front of him was very beautiful. Slender but powerful, a tiny bit of calluses could be seen from the tips of the fingers to the hollow of the palm. Thus, the owner of the hand ought to not be one of those pampered young masters.

Of course, it would have been even better if the palm didn’t look as if it was the size of an eleven or twelve year old’s. Then Xu ZiYan would have very happily acknowledged that he had just sleep-walked into this part of the forest, and so could very quickly return home.

“Damn……I was clearly just sleeping at home!” Xu ZiYan covered his face and slumped to the ground in defeat.

The sunlight that wiggled through in between his fingers only made him feel more irritated, and he suddenly aimed a fist at the ground: “Damn it!”

Making a ‘thud’ noise, the punch he had used to vent with had instead smashed out a gigantic pit in the ground.

Xu ZiYan was slightly dazed as he stared at that big pit, before he turned his gaze back to his fist and gulped with difficulty.

Although he knew that this was a cultivation world from the memories of the man who had the same appearance as him, however, the way a casual hit could create such a big hole, wasn’t it still a bit excessive?

Forget it, he himself had already turned into a small child, so what else could not happen to him?

Letting out a sigh, he stood up with a lot of effort. Other than the memories in his head, he currently did not know where he was, and he also did not know how he had appeared here. But the most frightening thing was how he did not even know who he himself was.

Uh……alright, you couldn’t say that he completely had no clue. Though he usually didn’t read those xuanhuan1 fiction stories, that didn’t stop a mother with nothing to do from discussing their plots. To transmigrate ah, to cultivate ah, these kind of things couldn’t be considered as foreign to him.

Combined with those memories that had just sprouted in his head, there was a ninety percent chance that he had just transmigrated into the body of the man who had the same appearance as him.

Just……

Lowering his head to look at his own body, Xu ZiYan silently wiped his face. The feeling of growing up again was really quite depressing!

His brain was still feeling a bit bloated, so he used force to shake his head and finally felt a bit better.

Hmm? What was this?

Xu ZiYan’s eyes widened in amazement. Before his very eyes was a square-shaped empty space floating in midair.

This space seemed to be separated from the space in reality, for when he attempted to move a bit, the space followed his movements. It was like having a fifty centimeters-squared invisible box that floated right in front of you.

Within this box was a single book, so Xu ZiYan very naturally reached in to take that book out.

This book was a paperback edition, and looked like a very ordinary novel. If you ignored the four men tangled together on the front cover, it was indeed very normal.

Xu ZiYan saw this cover and couldn’t stop the corner of his eye from twitching. Being a good man with a gay younger brother, in order to understand Xu ZiYu’s heart at that time, he didn’t skimp out on using a lot of effort to research these things.

Later, after confirming that Xu ZiYu became a homosexual naturally and wasn’t misguided by others into becoming one, Xu ZiYan gave up the idea of trying to set his younger brother back onto a straight path.

After all, a person’s fundamental essence was impossible to alter. If it had been someone who had maliciously led him it would have still been possible to change back, but if it was innate — let’s just wash up earlier and go to sleep ah2.

Despite how he was normally not fond of reading those erotic novels, this book had suddenly appeared. It was obviously not considered as something from this world, so Xu ZiYan inevitably succumbed to his curiosity and flipped open a page.

The thickness of this book was moderate, so Xu ZiYan spent approximately three hours to thoroughly read through the book once.

After finishing, and combining it with the memories that were forcefully pushed onto him, Xu ZiYan felt himself completely go crazy.

He had guessed that he transmigrated, but he would have never thought that the place he transmigrated to wasn’t some impractical world, but was actually the inside of some novel.

Ah, according to the contents of the book, he could still be reluctantly considered as one of the story’s main male leads!

Thinking back to the book’s (past) Xu ZiYan’s life, he only wanted to comment using the two words: ‘damn it!’.

Born to an enormous cultivation family and as the Clan Head’s eldest son of the first wife, together with the Lightning Heavenly Spiritual Vein3, this was an adequate portrayal of a winner in life.

Yet though he clearly had such great conditions, he always made life difficult for his own younger brother.

Speaking of this younger brother, it was another one of those cliché and melodramatic dramas.

The contents only consisted of Xu ZiYan’s father having a ‘true love’ in the olden days, both of them childhood sweethearts who had an affinity for each other. For the Clan’s interests, however, Xu Xiao’s father forced Xu Xiao to marry Xu ZiYan’s mother, and that ‘true love’ was forced away to distant and foreign lands.

But nobody expected that this ‘true love’, before leaving, had sex with Xu Xiao once. This resulted in a fruit being bore in secret, before she gave birth to their son Xu ZiRong.

If that ‘true love’ had just good-naturedly taken the money to bring up her son, that would have been fine. Unfortunately, a man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, and though this ‘true love’ had taken the break-up money, it wasn’t enough for her. Instead she wanted to, through this son, regain the love of Xu Xiao.

The end result was that this ‘true love’ died under her own greed, and Xu ZiRong was taken back by Xu Xiao to be raised in the Xu family.

It is reasonable to say that Xu ZiRong’s identity would never be able to threaten Xu ZiYan. Finding some corner to casually raise him would have been no problem.

Yet for some reason, (past) Xu ZiYan just did not like him. For both big matters and nonexistent ones, he would always find faults and mistreat Xu ZiRong and he even hinted to the Clan children to go and bully him. Every time he saw this kind of scene in his memory, Xu ZiYan felt extremely irritable. Towards such a soft and sticky little child, how could you harden your heart and lay down your hand??

Something that was even more infuriating was that in the middle of those memories, as the father of Xu ZiRong, Xu Xiao actually did not care about this child one bit. He was completely uncaring about how his eldest son bullied his youngest every day. There was even a time where (past) Xu ZiYan pushed a barely ten years old Xu ZiRong into a snake valley and he nearly lost his life, yet Xu Xiao only lightly scolded Xu ZiYan a bit.

When he saw that, had it not been the fact that Xu ZiYan was completely unable to change the events in a memory, he really wanted to rush up and give that old bastard a few slaps on the face.

****! If you don’t like him you shouldn’t have fathered him!

You birthed a child but you didn’t bother giving them enough love, so it was no wonder how in the end Xu ZiRong grew up crooked. Turning toward devil arts cultivation, he even killed the whole Xu family as a blood sacrifice. Even though he knew that there were many in the Xu family who were innocent, however, if there was a chance Xu ZiYan really wanted to tell Xu Xiao the words: served you right!

Fortunately, at that time the (past) Xu ZiYan was out travelling, or else he would probably be exterminated as well. After that, (past) Xu ZiYan looked everywhere for Xu ZiRong to exact revenge, and in the process he met a man named Bai Hua. Seeing Bai Hua for the first time, (past) Xu ZiYan became attracted to his elegant beauty and began to frantically pursue him.

However, he would never have thought that after he and Bai Hua experienced all sorts of twists and turns before promising each other a life-long marriage, he finally found out that Bai Hua already had two lovers, and he was only the third.

After (past) Xu ZiYan got through a painful time of tangled confusion, he still could not forget his love for Bai Hua. In addition, Bai Hua had been shedding tears non-stop as he recounted the deep love and attachment he had for the three of them.

Seeing how Bai Hua was unable to give up any of the feelings he had for them and could only cry painfully, (past) Xu ZiYan felt heartache and couldn’t bear to see Bai Hua grieve so sadly. He could only take a step back and thus chose to share Bai Hua with the other two.

The Xu ZiYan who had been watching the memory felt his face turn green at this point. At this moment, he didn’t even have the strength to curse out other people. Although he thought that homosexuality wasn’t very good, he wouldn’t be resolutely against it. However, this kind of thing with four people living together completely surpassed his bottom line!!!

If he was still capable of returning to his previous world, then he really had to sternly warn his younger brother Xu ZiYu. If you want to be gay then be gay, but if you dare create a threesome world with three men or something, he would definitely break your leg!

En! All three legs would be broken!

“Damn it, not reading anymore, so disgusting!” The latter part of the plot was mixed with a load of restricted content, and reading it made Xu ZiYan feel a burst of disgust. In particular was a scene in the book where all four of them rolled around in the bed sheets, and it made Xu ZiYan just wish he could delete that memory.

“It’s really beyond my imagination that as a man, he would be willing to share his lover with others. ****, isn’t this particularly disgusting. Someone already poked that place and then you continue to poke it yourself……Ah, I can’t, it’s too disgusting!” Xu ZiYan’s face paled in complexion. Being a straight-as-a-pencil man, this has gone a bit past his bottom line.

Firmly closing the novel and no longer looking at the memories in his head, Xu ZiYan felt that transmigrating to this world brimming with gay guys was simply the greatest evil of the heavens!

The author has something to say: poor straight older brother!!!

**Raising his head to look at the encompassing but unfamiliar surroundings, Xu ZiYan had a face full of black lines. Even though he had just said that he would never go and look at those memories again, it turned out that he had to break his vow this quickly.

kaichou-wa-maid-sama-ep-24-2

With a helpless face, he again went back into his head to do some research. Involuntarily, the corner of Xu ZiYan’s mouth twitched a bit. It turned out that today was the day Xu Xiao brought back Xu ZiRong. In addition, (past) Xu ZiYan’s mother had died not long ago, thus (past) Xu ZiYan had blamed this matter onto Xu ZiRong.

Thinking about it, that was understandable. Who would expect that a younger brother four years his junior would suddenly pop out from nowhere? It could be presumed that nobody would be in a good mood. After all, this little brother’s existence was practically a heavy slap on the face of the (past) Xu ZiYan’s late mother.

Regarding the case with the ‘true love’, there were not many people in the Xu family who knew about it. Xu Xiao had hid her very well, and even after he had married they still secretly rendezvoused. Afterwards, it was Xu Xiao’s father who found out that Xu Xiao was still meeting with his ‘true love’, and thus he furiously ordered Xu Xiao to send his ‘true love’ away. Xu Xiao was unable to do anything, and only then did he say goodbye to his ‘true love’.

From the beginning to the end, (past) Xu ZiYan’s mother had never known about this matter. By the time she finally realized that her husband lord actually had another woman and furthermore had a child with her, she was so angry she turned to devil arts cultivation before dying a terrible death.

When (past) Xu ZiYan received the news that his father had gone to retrieve Xu ZiRong, he, suddenly indignant and in a pique of fury, visited a grove at the mountain back to vent his emotions. Xu ZiYan took a look at his surroundings filled with broken branches and felt the corner of his mouth twitch again. The Lightning Heavenly Spiritual Vein was really too great, ah! Even though he was just eleven or twelve years old, he was already at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation Stage. The places where those big trees had broke still had traces of charred flakes, and just by looking at it you could tell how powerful he was……

Sighing deeply, Xu ZiYan stared at both of his own hands, once again feeling melancholic. He was clearly an adult man who about to turn thirty, but now he had to act youthful. This was truly a formidable task.

Although he did not know how the former Xu ZiYan had disappeared, this body now belonged to him. Thus, he could only take the famous former’s place and continue to live his life.

Casually putting back that novel into the mysterious space, Xu ZiYan patted his body to get rid of the dust and decided to go back to Xu family’s main house. Taking a look at the colour of the sky, it was already practically noon. His father Xu Xiao was a Meridian Condensing Stage cultivator. If he flew on a sword to travel, he could bring back Xu ZiRong extremely quickly.

Thinking about how the original character, a soft, sticky and cute child, was forced to become a devil arts cultivator, Xu ZiYan just couldn’t suppress the fiery anger in his heart. Even abusing someone shouldn’t be to this degree!

Along with his movements, that mysterious space always floated in front of him. Unable to resist it, Xu ZiYan took the piece of jade hanging by his waist and put it inside. Looking at it from the outside, there were no abnormalities.

The corner of his mouth reluctantly jerked. Alright, this could also be considered a golden finger1. At the very least, whenever you put something into it, he’s afraid that it would be impossible for someone else to steal it away.

Although he was inside this novel where cultivating was real and storage space wasn’t something scarce, those things were something that could be stolen away. As for him — it could be reckoned that even if the opponent was a heavenly immortal, they still wouldn’t have the skills to steal anything from him.

Storing the things on his body into the box and seeing so much money and little trinkets floating in midair, Xu ZiYan suddenly had the inexplicable urge to laugh.

Reaching out to take the things on his body all out before storing them inside the heavenly bag, he saw how this mysterious question mark of a high-end and trendy good thing suddenly held so much random scraps. It really made a person feel apologetic.

After that, he had only taken two steps before Xu ZiYan stopped again. Making a bitter face, he reached up to knock on his own forehead.

The original Xu ZiYan was a cultivator at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation Stage, yet the current Xu ZiYan was but one of the most ordinary businessman. Though he had seen in his memories how the former Xu ZiYan and others fought, that was basically the same thing as watching a movie. If you asked him now to use those techniques, he would immediately be going in blind.

Thus, offhandedly sitting down in a lotus position, Xu ZiYan held his chin and started to meditate. Although he did not want to flip through those memories in his head, in order to live, he must completely master the things the former Xu ZiYan had learned.

Fortunately, his current cultivation was not high and the techniques he knew could be counted on one’s fingers. Or else Xu ZiYan was afraid that it would have really been impossible to master everything in such little time.

Closing his eyes and becoming focused, it was perhaps because the former Xu ZiYan’s habits still lingered in his body for it was extremely easy for Xu ZiYan to inspect his inner self. He was able to check all the meridians within his body.

Attempting to circulate his energy with a heavenly technique, Xu ZiYan slowly opened his eyes. This type of practicing had already been remembered by his body, so now that he was doing it the technique was effortless to complete and there was not a single lick of difficulty.

After spending approximately two hours, he finally managed to completely remember the mishmash of spells, techniques, and even the little habits the former Xu ZiYan had.

Xu ZiYan once again celebrated the fact that the former Xu ZiYan was currently only twelve years old. As long as he changed little by little, nobody would discover who he was even if his personality did not match up with the future Xu ZiYan’s of his memories.

Add onto how the former Xu ZiYan’s personality was a bit domineering, in this way even Xu ZiYan’s violent temper could also be changed.

“Dad, Mom, even though I do not know why I have come to this world, since I already came here, I will live a good life. However, your son can’t be filial, and there’s no way for me to provide for you in your old age. Later, we can only depend on ZiYu to take care of you.” Xu ZiYan knelt onto the floor and firmly kowtowed a few times.

He did not know why he would appear here, but he instinctively realized that he could no longer go back.

The people of Xu family all had good adaptability. In those days where he and his parents traveled away from home to live in the United States, he also quickly adapted to living there.

Even though he has now entered a strange world, he still had the confidence that he will live very well.

His sole regret was that he could no longer do his filial duty, and that with how his younger brother Xu ZiYu was a gay guy, it seemed to be the end of the Xu family.

“Ah, forget it. In any case the population of the world is about to explode, so let’s just pretend that it is a contribution to the Earth.” Xu ZiYan said faintly with a sigh.

Standing up from the ground and making himself look presentable, Xu ZiYan relied on his memory to find a small creek, intending to take a look at himself.

Borrowing the water’s reflection, Xu ZiYan finally saw his current appearance.

He looked pretty much the same as he did when he himself was twelve2 , and he could be considered as a little handsome big brother. Slightly raising an eyebrow, the reflection in the water ended up doing the same motion.

“As expected, I really look exactly the same ah.” Xu ZiYan touched his own face and murmured.

But comparing this to the mature appearance of his adult self, the current pretty boy look was really not pleasing to the eye!!!

Silently turning his head away, Xu ZiYan somewhat gloomily followed the trail that brought him back to the Xu family’s main house.

“Young master, young master!” A teenager wearing the attire of a servant’s was anxiously waiting at the gate of the rear court. When he saw Xu ZiYan walking down the mountain from afar, he quickly ran over.

Xu ZiYan took a moment to retrieve this servant’s name from his memory before he displayed an ugly face. “Ruo Zhu, why are you shouting?”

Ruo Zhu’s heart felt a shock, before he quickly explained. “Young master, that person was brought back by the Master, Master is waiting for you in the front hall.”

Hearing Ruo Zhu’s words, Xu ZiYan felt his heart jump. In the original’s memories, in order to vent the depression in his heart, he stayed in the mountains for a complete day. He only returned to the Xu family’s main house on the next morning. At that time, he did not actually see his father, and instead ran into Xu ZiRong. Thus Xu ZiYan cursed him out with no restraints, and even gave him a fierce slap on the face.

Because of this matter, Xu Xiao lightly scolded Xu ZiYan a bit, which resulted in making Xu ZiYan hate Xu ZiRong even more. From then, he would always give him troubles for no reason.

Had he still been the original Xu ZiYan, even if he came back in advance, in front of his father he’s afraid that he still wouldn’t give Xu ZiRong any face. Cursing him out was probably still unavoidable. But now Xu ZiYan didn’t bear any hatred for Xu ZiRong, so naturally he wouldn’t try tearing into him the moment they met.

Moreover, the original Xu ZiYan was only twelve years old, so bullying his own younger brother could still be explained away by saying the child hadn’t learned rights from wrongs. But now the person living inside of Xu ZiYan was a nearly thirty years old adult man. Even if it was to prevent others from noticing something wrong and just an act, he would never go and hit a child who was only eight.

“Okay, I know.” Xu ZiYan waved his hand and sent away Ruo Zhu just like that. He lifted the train of his robe, and took his sweet time as he walked in the direction of the front hall.

He pondered even as he walked. Later, how should he act, so that others could not see through him and notice that the person inside has now changed……

The distance from the rear court to the front hall was quite substantial, but Xu ZiYan was already a cultivator of the fifth layer of Qi Condensation Stage, his skills better than the normal populace. Even if he walked slowly, it couldn’t be slow to the point of being ridiculous. So after only half a teacup’s worth of effort, he could already see the front hall’s door.

Unhurriedly walking into the front hall, it became apparent that all the chairs in the front hall were already occupied by people.

Xu family was a cultivation family of a middle rank. Although it wasn’t possible to compare with those super families, but relying on the relationship between them and one of the nation’s top five sect families, there weren’t many people who dared to fight against their ideals.

The clan is flourishing so naturally the population is large. Other than the head family, the Xu Clan’s direct descendants, there were still more than twenty side branches of the clan.

In the whole Xu family, precisely because there was the main head family of the Clan’s direct descendants, the children of the side branches had to prop them up. Therefore, when out popped a new child of the head family who had the power to inherit the clan, these side branches of course had to send people out to take a look.

The moment Xu ZiYan entered the room he became the target of everyone’s gaze.

As the son of the Xu Xiao’s, his amazing talent has drawn the attention of the whole family.

The single vein Lightning Heavenly Spiritual Vein, this talent, even if he was in a large sect he would have been a carefully taught elite disciple.

With a body that had this kind of talent, it had been long decided that he would not be the one to inherit the Xu family. This was because as long as he developed and cultivated well, in the future Xu family would obtain a solid mountain of support.

Thus, even those who were eyeing the seat of the family head were all falling over themselves to please him, and nobody would ever offend him.

Although it was originally a noisy hall, in the moment Xu ZiYan entered it suddenly became silent.

Almost everyone wanted to know what attitude Xu ZiYan would have toward this ‘little brother’ of his that had popped out of nowhere.

‘Golden finger’ AKA cheat.”↩

MC was always Main Lead worthy???!!! He must be very handsome…he must have fangirls….”↩**

**03

It could be said that if Xu ZiYan did not look favorably upon this Xu ZiRong, even if it was Xu Xiao who spoke out, they still wouldn’t let Xu ZiRong enter the Xu Clan’s family tree1.

And this — was also the fate of Xu ZiRong’s last life.

The people in the hall were all observing Xu ZiYan, yet Xu ZiYan’s gaze was firmly situated on the middle-aged man sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall — at least, on the child beside him.

That little child looked to be only six or seven. He had white and clean skin, looking as tender and supple as water.

His tiny delicate face was filled with tension, and a pair of lovely and vivid eyes stared pitifully at him. Xu ZiYan swore he absolutely saw the childish admiration that emanated from them.

An arrow struck the middle of his heart!

cupid-coloring-page-cupid-arrow-through-the-heart-coloring-page-free-printable-for-kids

Xu ZiYan looked at this child who should probably be his younger brother and immediately felt his heart melt.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!! So adorable ah ah! ****, this was such a cute child, back then how did that Xu ZiYan be willing to lay down his hand??!!!

Even if you wanted someone to hate you should have hated your father and that ‘true love’, how could it concern the child ah!!

Xu ZiYan roared in his heart, the expression on his face slightly fierce.

Perhaps he had been intimidated by his expression, but that child shrank back, his little face turning red as he lowered his head.

Xu ZiYan was again struck in the heart by an arrow. To a person with a younger brother complex like him, with such a shy and cute little brother, it was simply poking all of his meng2 points!

If it wasn’t for the fact that he still remembered how he couldn’t act too weirdly, he would have rushed straight up there to hug that white and tender child and give him a strong smooch!

“Father……” The word ‘father’ stayed festering in Xu ZiYan’s mouth for a while before he finally managed to utter it. If it wasn’t for how he had practiced saying it so much when he was still in the mountains, it really would have been difficult for him to do it.

After all, in his point of view this Xu Xiao was really terrible in the emotional field, and as a father he also failed!!!

“En.” When the Xu Xiao who sat on the chair in the middle of the room saw Xu ZiYan, he coldly nodded his head.

The relationship between him and Xu ZiYan’s mother was purely a business contract to promote both of their interests. So obviously, he didn’t hold much affection for Xu ZiYan, this son of his. However, because Xu ZiYan’s talent was so godly, he still regarded this son as an important person.

Xu ZiYan mentally curled his lip, inwardly criticizing Xu Xiao. If you compared him to his real father, wouldn’t this Xu Xiao be like the dirt to his dad’s heaven? Wouldn’t you think so?

During the time when he used to go to school, every night after he returned home he would always be greeted with a hug from his father. Later at dinnertime, his dad would also chat with him about his school things. He didn’t expect Xu Xiao to be as enthusiastic as his real father, but with this kind of a cold attitude, no matter what it wouldn’t pass the dad test ah……

His gaze once again returned to that seemingly timid child and Xu ZiYan’s heart, like before, softened into a mess. “This is my younger brother ZiRong ah?”

Practically everyone in the hall were so shocked by Xu ZiYan’s words, their jaws all fell down. In the past, because of his excellent talent, nobody dared to offend Xu ZiYan. His father also rarely disciplined him, leading him to develop a very domineering personality.

In addition, not long ago his mother had, because of this illegitimate child, turned to devil arts cultivation and passed away. Before he had even been gnashing his teeth as he said he would thoroughly ‘teach’ this bastard, so why was it that after they met, he on the contrary completely changed his attitude?

Those with quick minds immediately thought of other aspects. For example, this Xu ZiYan could have been given orders, so on the surface he was very good to this little brother. After all, fighting with his own brother, that kind of thing, if it got outside it wouldn’t be that great for his reputation.

All the people of the branch families were each turning over different ideas in their minds. Everyone was pondering what Xu ZiYan’s current attitude really meant.

Xu Xiao sat in the middle of the hall. Watching his own eldest son, his expression looked inexplicable.

It wasn’t like he didn’t know how Xu ZiYan was completely dissatisfied with Xu ZiRong’s existence, but he still deliberately brought Xu ZiRong back. This was because there was no need to let the children of Xu family wander outside, but on the other hand, it was also to hone Xu ZiYan.

Xu Xiao didn’t have much affections for Xi ZiRong. The so-called ‘true love’ he experienced before, after being ground away by the passage of time, had long fade away for him.

After all, this Xu ZiRong wasn’t raised by him. He didn’t even have much feelings for Xu ZiYan, so how could there be any fatherly love for Xu ZiRong?

In his eyes, Xu ZiRong’s existence just amounted to being Xu ZiYan’s whetstone. He wanted to use Xu ZiYan’s hatred for Xu ZiRong, and use it to hone his patience.

As for what will happen to Xu ZiRong in the end, he wasn’t at all worried. The child was merely a boy with average talent, so he would never be able to go beyond the heavens.

Seeing what was happening now, it seemed like the effect of what he had done was very good. At the very least, on the surface Xu ZiYan’s current performance made him feel very satisfied. As a cultivator, if he didn’t have any subtlety, he would be destined to become someone’s stepping stone in the future. Xu ZiYan’s personality was a bit domineering. However, looking at his attitude towards Xu ZiRong, he already knew to conceal his real intentions under a different face.

Watching Xu ZiYan’s gentle manner as the other looked at Xu ZiRong, Xu Xiao mentally praised him. However, he could still tell that those pitch-black eyes were flashing with flickering hostility (the biggest misunderstanding!).

Not bad, knowing to hide his own hatred. A Xu ZiYan like this was what you called a good son of Xu Xiao!

Xu ZiYan looked at that shy (?) little brother and forcefully suppressed the impulses of his heart.

Ah ah ah ah ah! How adorable ah! He was meng’d to death!

He was just as cute as when Xu ZiYu was his age! Wait, no! He was even cuter! A single look at him told you he was a cute and obedient child, and definitely not a naturally gay guy from birth!

At this moment, Xu ZiYan suddenly recalled the contents of that novel, and his complexion immediately changed.

Not good, at the end, the book said that after Xu ZiRong turned into the villain BOSS, he abducted Bai Hua. Locked in his devil’s palace, he ruthlessly abused him. The ending of the novel even talked about how male lead #1, male lead #2, and him, male lead #3, all murdered their way into the devil’s palace. After they killed Xu ZiRong, they rescued Bai Hua — it was this kind of HE (Happy Ending) kind of story.

Although the book did not specify what Xu ZiRong did to Bai Hua, from what Xu ZiYan could tell, being together with Bai Hua could not be a good thing. Even if he originally wasn’t gay, he would still be misguided into becoming gay!

The moment he thought of this, Xu ZiYan immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared for battle, intending to raise Xu ZiRong well.

In the original’s memories, this Xu ZiRong was awfully unpopular in the Xu family. Normally they would be no one who tended to him. Not talking about his father, who didn’t even care about his son from the first wife, let alone this Xu ZiRong who wasn’t loved by his grandmother or cared for by his uncle3.

If no one cares about him, I will!

Xu ZiYan remembered his own little brother Xu ZiYu and immediately made a face of grief and indignation. He was obviously so cute when he was a child, but when he grew up he became so dark and two-faced. In the end he would even lie to his older brother, he was really too much of a bastard!

Looking at that child who was still hiding behind Xu Xiao’s back, Xu ZiYan’s aspirations were all aroused.

It was rare to get another chance to raise a little brother, so he must raise Xu ZiRong into an upright youth with an open mind! Ah, another goal must be added: he must be straight!

Xu ZiYan’s fighting spirit was flaming and he had already started visualizing his plans to raise his little brother. Thus, he completely did not notice that the seemingly shy child who hid behind Xu Xiao had a ruthless flash flit through his dark eyes……

Seeing how Xu ZiYan did not express any disgust toward Xu ZiRong and was on the contrary extremely kind, there wasn’t much opposition when Xu Xiao brought up the matter of adding Xu ZiRong into the family tree.

This was because Xu Xiao had already said in advance that Xu ZiRong would not have the right to inherit the family. So for taking in one more bastard child, nobody would really mind.

It was only a single child, so how much food could they waste? Their Xu family was this big, could they not afford to raise another child?

When the matter of the family tree was settled, all the members from the branch family left one by one.

Xu Xiao beckoned Xu ZiYan over to his side and gave him a satisfied nod. “ZiYan, your performance today was very good.”

“Many thanks for father’s praise.” Xu ZiYan replied lightly. It wasn’t that he didn’t have manners, but within his memories, the original and his father interacted with each other just like this.

“En. This is your little brother Xu ZiRong. From now on, he will live with you.” Xu Xiao casually pulled out Xu ZiRong who was hiding behind him, his tone of voice completely commanding.

Xu ZiYan wore a very gentle face as he looked at Xu ZiRong, before he lightly rubbed the other’s head. “Hello ZiRong, my name is Xu ZiYan. From today, I will be your older brother.”

Xu ZiRong’s half-drooping eyes hid the doubts in his gaze. By the time he had lifted his head again, his limpid eyes overflowed with admiration. Whispering, he tentatively called out, “Big brother.”

“Good child.” Xu ZiYan’s heart trembled hard. He affectionately patted Xu ZiRong’s shoulders before he twisted his head and asked Xu Xiao, “Father, does ZiRong have anywhere to sleep?”

Xu Xiao felt somewhat astonished. He had always thought that this son of his had a straightforward personality, so he never thought that the boy would develop a mask so perfect even he couldn’t see through it.

He pondered for a bit. “I had originally arranged ZiRong’s bedroom to be in the Zhu Xin Courtyard……”

“Father.” Xu ZiYan interrupted him. “Zhu Xin Courtyard is too remote. Let him live with me at the Liu Shang Courtyard, ah.”

Xu Xiao nodded his head. “That’s fine.”

Xu ZiYan turned his head to look at Xu ZiRong with a smile. “ZiRong, is living together with your older brother alright?”

Xu ZiRong was bewildered. The expression on his face was completely sincere. “It’s okay.”

“Good child.” Xu ZiYan’s heart felt overjoyed. Unable to resist it, he kissed the boy’s forehead before pulling his hand and leaving.

Xu ZiRong felt startled. Even if he was cool-headed, he was still unable to cover his heart’s shock. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, and then took another look at the not-quite-grown figure in front of him, his heart brimming with doubts that puzzled him.

Undoubtedly in his past life he was killed by the three lovers of that slut Bai Hua, his soul scattering. Yet the moment he opened his eyes, he saw the father he killed himself standing in front of him, telling him with a cold voice to gather his belongings and leave with him.
