Chapter 178 The righteous sect's patriarch likes to follow the demonic sect's patriarch.

The two of them did indeed enter a guest room.

However, there was no ambiguity; instead, the atmosphere seemed rather heavy.

“Xiao Luo, actually I—” Bao Shuoyu wanted to be honest with her. Yes, since Yu Xiao Luo had revealed her identity without any concealment, it would seem petty of him to keep it to himself.

"I—actually, I'm not—"

Yu Xiaoluo suddenly said, "I'm too sleepy. I'm going to take a shower. We can talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, he went into the bathroom, washed up, and when he came out, Yu Xiaoluo told him to hurry up and go too. When Bao Shuoyu came out after washing up, Yu Xiaoluo was already asleep in her bed.

She seemed to be sleeping soundly and deeply, but Bao Shuoyu looked at her and sighed deeply.

Actually, although Yu Xiaoluo was really tired, she couldn't fall asleep; instead, she was strangely suffering from insomnia.

So that night, each person had their own bed, back to back, each lost in their own thoughts, until dawn broke before they finally fell into a deep sleep.

Zhuo Fan didn't wake up until the afternoon, because he was hungry; his stomach was protesting fiercely.

So he went to look for Yu Xiaoluo, but there was no sound from inside. He checked the time and realized that if he didn't wake her up soon, he would have to work late again that night.

So he knocked on the door, and Bao Shuyu opened it. He looked like he had just woken up too.

Zhuo Fan was too embarrassed to go in, so he waited outside. "Master, I'm so hungry. Why don't you get ready and we'll go eat? After we eat, should we go back or go to the Zhang family to check the feng shui? Sigh, going out is really exhausting. It's not easy to make big money."

He suddenly realized that working as the deputy director was much easier and less stressful, and it was also much safer.

I can indeed learn a lot by following the master outside, so I feel anxious about losing what I have.

Yu Xiaoluo was still fast asleep and did not respond. Bao Shuoyu said, "You wait in the lobby downstairs. I'll wake her up and then come down."

Zhuo Fan left without saying anything.

Bao Shuoyu closed the door and heard Yu Xiaoluo's murmur, "Mission, mission, I can ascend if I complete the mission—"

Upon hearing this, Bao Shuoyu seemed to recall something, as if some unpleasant memory had resurfaced.

My head suddenly started to ache, and a voice said, "She's lying to you, she's lying to you, everyone who's good to you is lying to you, using you. Don't be fooled—"

But another voice rang out, "No, no, she likes me, she truly likes me. She has never hugged or kissed other men, she is only so intimate with me."

"Hmph, isn't it all just to trick you, you silly girl? If I don't give you a little something, how will you fall for it?"

No, that won't happen.

The original owner's voice also rang out, "Please, give me back my body. I really miss my mom and dad. I have no feelings for Yu Xiaoluo. I just want my own body back. Please let me go."

Bao Shuyu clutched his head, muttering to himself, "No, no, it's not, it's not, it's not—"

Yu Xiaoluo was awakened by the soft noises. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Bao Shuoyu in this state and jumped out of bed. "Brother Shuoyu, what's wrong?"

Bao Shuoyu seemed not to hear her words, still muttering to himself, "Luo Luo likes me, she wouldn't lie to me."

Was she out of her mind or possessed? She saw demonic energy faintly emanating from Bao Shuoyu's body and cried out in her heart, "This is bad!"

At this moment, the system's voice unexpectedly rang out: [Master, he absorbed the Ghost King's power yesterday and grew even stronger. Currently, his consciousness is chaotic, and his demonic energy is in a state of imminent release but not yet unleashed; he is at his weakest. If you want to kill him, act now.]

Yu Xiaoluo frowned deeply and said unhappily, "System, do you really want me to kill him?"

【Master, I'm doing this for your own good. We're one, our interests are intertwined. I'm analyzing the actions that will best help you accumulate good deeds and energy points. This is the result of my analysis.】

【Master, don't let male beauty blind you, and don't fall for any man. Remember, none of the men caught your eye back then.】

【Master, no man in this world is worthy of you. You are here to fly, not for men. I believe my master is the most rational person.】

[Shut up!]

[Master, you have to hurry! If you don't kill him soon, it'll be too late!]

Get lost! I don't need your instruction. If you keep making noise, I'll kill you first!

Ignoring the system, Yu Xiaoluo didn't hesitate and slapped Bao Shuoyu across the face.

Bao Shuoyu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "What happened? What happened?"

Yu Xiaolu frowned slightly, her eyes filled with worry. "Bao Shuoyu, you almost turned into a demon. And you said I would lie to you? What would I lie to you about?"

Bao Shuoyu suddenly remembered something, "So, you slept in my room that night because you were actually there to help me, right?"

Yu Xiaoluo didn't want to hide it anymore and was ready to lay everything out on the table. Otherwise, his condition was too worrying. If it happened one or two more times, she might not be able to control him. Moreover, as the system said, his aura today was indeed stronger than before.

She sighed softly, "Bao Shuoyu, no, I should call you Demon Lord Brother. That night, you turned into a demon, and when Xiao Hei came to me for help, he told me about your identity."

“That’s right. Preventing you from posing a danger to humanity was one of my goals when I came down the mountain. When I received this mission, you hadn’t yet taken over Bao Shuoyu’s body. I only met him the day before you took over his body. So, I’ve been in contact with you the most, not Bao Shuoyu.”

“When I first approached you, I did have an ulterior motive. I wanted to change your values ​​and make you a good person instead of someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. To be honest, I did have a great influence on you. I can say that my change of your values ​​went very smoothly. Moreover, you have accumulated a lot of merit because you have done many good deeds.”

“Your nature is not bad. At least, after you took over Bao Shuoyu’s body, you did not do anything bad. On the contrary, you helped many people and saved many people while helping me. You have accumulated a lot of merit. If you continue to do so to a certain extent, it will offset your karmic debts.”

"Besides, don't you think this change is a good thing? At least you've gained a lot of goodwill, not hatred and disgust. And—"

Yu Xiaoluo paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I think I really like you."

Bao Shuoyu stared blankly at Yu Xiaoluo, "Is this true?"

Yes, it's true that the righteous sect's patriarch likes to follow the demonic sect's patriarch—that sounds like something out of fantasy.

But reality seems to be so fantastical; after all, I am a master of metaphysics.
