Chapter 31 : Corrupted Yggdrasil 1

The man glanced at Kirin, and Kirin fly around him excitedly. "May i know this master name?", Yang Luoya asked carefully. A few second later, the man chuckled, his elegant facade from before disappeared. "No need to be so formal to me, since we come from the same place", he stopped laughing but his smile never falter. 

"the same place.... you mean back in real world?", Yang Luoya was surprised. But no wonder he knows english language. "Yeah, i used to be famous in real world, want to take a guess? I have the same name as in the real world, my name is Yan Xiaoluo"

Yang Luoya put his hand on his chin and start thinking, "..... the only Yan Xiaoluo i know is the failing actor who died 10 years ago"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Both of them just stare silently at eachother. "Wait, that was you?!", Yang Luoya was surprised. "Let me remind you, i'm not a failing actor! someone frame me for fame. My life have been miserable since then", Yan Xiaoluo scold Yang Luoya like a grown up scolding neighbor kid. 

"Are you still alive?", Yang Luoya asked. 

"Probably not, it's been more than hundreds years", he said.

"But how can my master stay young after hundred of years?"

"I take him under my wings after my age exceed hundreds years"

"So how was the world after the story ended? is it still peaceful?", Yan Xiaoluo asked. "what ended? the story is not even halfway"

Yan Xiaoluo was surprised, "but i have defeated the last boss in the novel, surely the world will get peace right?". Yang Luoya thought everything he said doesn't make any sense. 

"The devil hasn't even been awakened yet, how can you defeat it already", "what devil are you talking about, I'm talking about Azraketh, or i should say corrupted yggdrasil", Both of them went silent after this. "just to be sure, what novel tittle you're transmigrated into?", Yang Luoya asked. "It's called ascension of the fallen", Everything made sense now. 

"The novel i got transmigrated into is called between three empires", Yang Luoya replied. "That's weird, is it the second part of the novel?"

Yang Luoya shaked his head, "I don't know. Can you tell me about your novel storyline? The novel i'm at right now, full of mysterious hole. someone might tampering the storyline. Everytime it happen, i feel like the bad ending coming closer and closer"

"I will tell you a gist of it. Kirin, you can take a rest for now", He glance at Kirin. As soon as he said that the kirin nodded and disappear in thin air. 

Ascension of the fallen, it's a novel with the same genre as between three empire. The protagonist, Zhou Chenfeng is a young boy who steal and fight to cure his younger brother. One day, a wandering cultivator give him a chance to become strong by entering Four Peak Sect. Unfortunately his brother died before he entered the sect. 

"I became a side character with no important role, Kirin peak lord, what about you?", Yan Xiaoluo asked. ".... Sub villain"

"wow that sucks.... enough the joke, let me continue"

His brother death change him into cold and unapproachable person. After joined the sect he fall in love with his senior brother. His senior brother was kind to everyone but too naive. Zhou Chenfeng love was rejected few times. Couldn't holding in, he joined demonic sect and bring massacre to any sect he found, and promised to make his senior brother his. 

"What a scary development....", Yang Luoya commented.

"But since i got transmigrated..... i think i made a few change to the plot, wait, maybe a lot", Yan Xiaoluo scratch his head. "Ever since i invervene with the plot, i made a few change"

Since Yan Xiaoluo got transmigrated, Zhou Chenfeng younger brother never died to begin with. He's not cold or unapproachable like in the novel. He should become dragon peak direct disciple but instead he become kirin peak disciple, his disciple. 

"I thought nothing bad will happen.... but i realized, the protagonist personality quite troublesome", Yan Xiaoluo was troubled by his own thought. 

Knowing the novel's plot, he was terrified with Zhou Chenfeng. He acted cold and distant while giving him harsh training, hoping the protagonist would give up and went to dragon peak instead as it should be. 

"This body i occupied have some kind of trauma. His first disciple died in the forest because he taught his disciple kindly and never rushed things. He died in the forest because he was weak, he was taught kindly so his body couldn't keep up when fighting demon beast. So i think it made sense if i taught the protagonist harshly, he didn't want the same thing happened to his second disciple after all"

Yan Xiaoluo tried to act distant and cold so Zhou Chenfeng will go away as soon as possible. But one day, the same thing happened again, Zhou Chenfeng went towards the forest alone to fight demonic beast. 

"My body moved on it's own and rushed to help"

The beast he was fighting was grade 5 beast, a creature that shouldn't appeared near the sect. Zhou Chenfeng got critical injury and almost died. Desperately, Yang Xiaoluo protect him from demonic beast. Unfortunately, he got internal injury from the attemps. 

"Don't be sad about it. Actually i use that chance to get away from Zhou Chenfeng. I make excuses by saying i'm healing my injury by locking myself. I ask dragon peak lord to take over my responsibility about teaching Zhou Chenfeng. I keep giving him manual though"

"How irresponsible are you", Yang Luoya said in disdain. 

"Shut up. I manage to get away for few years. But as soon as i came back.... he has changed", Yan Xiaoluo tone become uneasy. "He... his eyes when he sees me is different. I feel chill everytime i got close to him. I thought it's just me overthinking it, but i'm not. His eyes always glimmering everytime he saw me. The affection he should have given to his senior brother, change direction towards me...."

"That's scary", Yang Luoya commented. "Are you sure it's not just him wanting attention and feel guilty?"

"you have a worst ability in recognizing someone's character", Yan Xiaoluo said. 

"He's just wanted your attention. Just like me and my brother, his eyes always glimmering everytime he want compliment". Yang Luoya said proudly. 

"you fucked up", Yan Xiaoluo said simply. 

"What a language!"
