The Male Lead Has a Problem with His Brain

That’s right!

Xiao Jihan wants to kill her because of the –75 hostility rating. As long as she raises the rating, he won’t kill her! It wouldn’t be her changing the plot, but Xiao Jihan, as the male lead, changing the plot himself. Even if the heavens want to strike, they should strike their beloved son!

Yan Shu clapped her hands, Yes, that’s what she’ll do!

Early the next morning, Yan Shu happily took out a jade slip containing the cultivation techniques of Xuantian Sect from her mustard seed bag, opened the door, and went to find Xiao Jihan.

At this moment, Xiao Jihan would be in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Although after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can cultivate without eating by absorbing spiritual energy, except for those with mutated spiritual roots like Yan Shu, the majority of cultivators can only absorb spiritual energy through the cultivation of heavenly treasures, spiritual objects, and so on. Therefore, even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators still eat when they have nothing to do. Moreover, most of the food in the cultivation world can provide spiritual energy to varying degrees. Besides, occasionally satisfying one’s taste buds is also a pleasant thing.

Yan Shu carried a stern expression and the jade slip, happily approaching the kitchen door. But the moment she saw Xiao Jihan, she was dumbfounded. The flashing red hostility bar was glaring at her with -80 (extreme hostility).

“What the hell! Xiao Jihan, something is wrong with your brain?!”

She didn’t do anything, just slept, and that lowered the goodwill?! So, if she sleeps a few more times, does she not have to wait for three months and he will just kill her in a few days?! Yan Shu was infuriated and wished she could knock on Xiao Jihan’s head to see what kind of strange construction was inside!

Boom! Yan Shu rolled her eyes at the sky. “Alright, alright! Whatever your beloved son says is right, okay?!”

Yan Shu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and coughed lightly. She looked at the busy Xiao Jihan and spoke, “Han’er, come here, Master has something for you.”

As soon as she said that, Xiao Jihan’s body froze, and the red hostility bar on his head flickered even more joyfully: -83 (extreme hostility).

“What the hell! Where did I go wrong again?!”

Xiao Jihan suppressed the coldness in his phoenix eyes, turned around, and came in front of Yan Shu. He looked at her and said coldly, “Master only needs to call the disciple by his full name.”

Ha, it turned out to be about how to address him. Is it reasonable to deduct three points of goodwill for the sake of an address?! Besides, isn’t building a relationship between people based on addressing each other? She is his master, his elder, a motherly existence. What’s wrong with calling him Han’er?!

Yan Shu was too exhausted to comment so she justclenched her fist silently.

Boom...

Alright, alright, you’re the beloved son, so whatever you say goes. Yan Shu expressionlessly handed over the jade slip in her hand and said, “The cultivation technique I gave you before was just a broken piece I jotted down casually. This is the true cultivation technique of Xuantian Sect.”

Xiao Jihan looked at the jade slip held out to him, her slender jade fingers like bamboo shoots, her wrist like a lotus root, and her skin as delicate as condensed fat. He lowered his gaze and reached out to take the jade slip, saying indifferently, “Thank you, Master.”

Seeing the numbers on the red hostility bar change to -75, Yan Shu silently breathed a sigh of relief. This male leads with his strange thought process... She added without expression, “Master didn’t refuse to give you the complete technique before, but thought you still needed some time after establishing the foundation, so...”

-76

-77

-78

“What the hell!” Yan Shu was shocked and quickly shut her mouth.

Xiao Jihan coldly put away the jade slip, looked at her, and said, “Master, is there anything else?”

Does she have anything? Does she dare to have anything?!

“No,” Yan Shu turned her head and walked away.

Watching her leave, Xiao Jihan withdrew his gaze, took out the jade slip from the mustard seed bag, and infused it with spiritual power, and the contents immediately appeared in his mind.

It was indeed the cultivation technique of Xuantian Sect, including not only the cultivation of spiritual power but also introductory techniques for pill refinement and artifact forging. This time, she didn’t deceive him.

Looking at the jade slip that was originally shimmering with flowing light but gradually turned into ordinary white jade due to the infusion of the techniques, Xiao Jihan inexplicably thought of those slender jade-like fingers. He snapped back to his senses, applied a little force with his fingers, and the jade slip instantly turned into powder.

Back in the room, Yan Shu patted her chest, still in shock. “Oh my god, the male lead is so terrifying. He turns hostile at the drop of a hat!”

But speaking of which, it seems that Xiao Jihan’s goodwill can indeed be increased. Although she doesn’t know why it decreases in the first place, at least she knows how to improve it.

He likes it when she gives him things, right? Then she’ll give him something!

Speaking of which, Xiao Jihan is truly a typical “beauty in distress.” His original surname is not Xiao but Sima, and he is a prince from the Sima clan of the Han Province, part of the royal family of the mainland.

However, despite being a prince, he was not favored due to his mother’s low status in the Xiao clan, and suffered from humiliation since childhood.

Later, when the major sects started recruiting disciples, he was tested and found to have pseudo-spiritual roots with four attributes. He faced ridicule, and even the crown prince, who was just a mortal, looked down on him.

Xiao Jihan is handsome, with a somewhat feminine appearance. The despicable crown prince developed inappropriate feelings for him, and to save Xiao Jihan, Xiao’s mother was tragically killed and crushed the jade token of the Xuantian Sect before her death.

This communication jade token was given to her by Senior Brother Wen Youhe over thirty years ago. When Wen Youhe was about to reach the Mahayana stage, he almost died, but he was saved by Xiao’s mother, who was a child at the time. He gave her this jade token and told her that if she encountered danger, she could crush the jade token, and he would come to her rescue immediately and fulfill her one request.

After crushing the jade token, Wen Youhe arrived as promised, and Xiao’s mother requested him to take Xiao Jihan back to Xuantian Sect and teach him cultivation. Wen Youhe agreed.

After burying Xiao’s mother, Wen Youhe brought Xiao Jihan back to Xuantian Sect. Xiao Jihan abandoned his Sima surname and took his mother’s surname instead, naming himself Jihan.

Although Xiao Jihan has pseudo-spiritual roots with four attributes, he can still cultivate them. After Wen Youhe personally taught him how to guide spiritual energy into his body, he threw him among the ordinary disciples.

As one of the four major sects, those who can join Xuantian Sect are naturally the pride of heaven. It can be imagined how he is treated compared to them.

Several years later, when the peak masters were taking disciples as usual, the original host of the body made an exception and accepted him as a direct disciple. Xiao Jihan thought he had finally turned the tables, but he didn’t expect that the original host only treated him as a source of blood for cultivation, taking his heart blood.

There is karma in the world, and it can be said that the original host brought their fate upon themselves by dying at the hands of Xiao Jihan. However, it’s a bit excessive to make Yan Shu pay for the mistakes of the original host.

Yan Shu sighed deeply. What should she give him to make him feel the love of a caring mother figure and increase his goodwill rapidly?

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Jihan’s cold voice came from outside the door, “Master, it’s time for a meal.”
