A Demon Realm Seductress Has Taken Down the Light of the Righteous Path (Futa High H) - Chapter 11

As an extremely life-preserving, when-in-doubt-use-quantum-mechanics slacker college student, Lan Yunyun did not recklessly charge out with the female lead after sleeping one night and immediately rushing into adventure.

To be honest—even just considering her own transmigrated, extremely unlucky “take-the-blame” identity and her whole back-carrying-the-pot experience—she didn’t dare rush in.

Let’s just say: what does zero luck look like? Tactical lean-back.

Tears.

So she stayed at the cold stream for a solid seven or eight days, racking her brains every single day thinking of survival strategies.

These past few days she worked harder than a college student cramming for a graduation thesis.

Her mentor would be overjoyed.

Logically speaking, as a reader who knew the original story’s heavenly-dragon-tier male and female leads teaming up to fight monsters, level up, and clear dungeons, she should just copy their experiences or go straight to the male lead and hug his thigh. Done.

But after these days of repeated deep thought,

She despairingly realized: none of that would work.

Copying the experiences? Right now the female lead had zero cultivation, was blind and leg-crippled. Walking the original story’s path was nine-deaths-one-life—what ten-thousand-year corpse ghosts, demonic flood dragons, heavenly-dragon female lead—if she died, that was tribulation success, instant return to being the Emperor. But if Lan Yunyun died, she’d be dead for real!

How could she dare?

That was her little life!

As for abandoning the female lead and running to the male lead to hug his thigh?

Even worse!

Because the male lead’s situation was even more miserable than the female lead’s!

The male lead—Demon Lord Shun Heng—was personally tendon-ripped, spirit-sliced, bone-shaved, soul-stripped by the female lead’s true body, Emperor Xuan Xiao, then suppressed and sealed for over ten thousand years with the Nine Heavens Star-Response Five Thunders Grand Array. Every month his blood was drawn, soul extracted—until now he was left with barely a half-demon crippled husk at the peak of Soul Transformation stage.

Never mind that after ten thousand years of suppression and sealing he’d lost his memories, his perfected Myriad Tribulations Demon Body reduced to a half-demon wreck—whether he could even beat the female lead, who upon death would instantly return to her true body with perfected Absolute Beginning Sacred Physique.

Even if she dared gamble—could she even solve the Nine Heavens Star-Response Five Thunders Grand Array?!

According to the original description, the array drew power from star force as source, heavenly thunder as trigger—extremely precise and strict. Star force empowered myriad transformations, manifesting “Heaven, Earth, Wind, Rain, Sun, Moon, Cloud, Snow, Frost”—nine changes that supported and endlessly regenerated one another, supplemented by heavenly punishment tribulation lightning forming ever-regenerating, undying weapons of strange shapes. Immensely powerful.

Because the array was so overpowered and hidden, after the great immortal-demon war in the original story, all six realms—including the demon realm—believed the male lead had been directly slain…

If only the female lead hadn’t descended for tribulation, if only the male lead hadn’t been worn down until he lost his memories.

How the hell were two people with blood-sea-deep hatred, destined to mutually slaughter and suppress each other, supposed to develop romance? Really hard to rate…

Bringing the female lead along could indeed solve the array and unseal the male lead.

The female lead was Emperor Xuan Xiao herself—even in her tribulation incarnation, the array would still recognize her, because the array was originally created and infused with spirit by her.

Although the original story had a bad ending, the process was described very clearly: the female lead accidentally entered the array and unsealed the male lead, then the injured her and amnesiac him began a sweet-yet-torturous, love-hate intertwined romance.

But the problem was—Lan Yunyun’s current identity was the blame-taking vicious female side character!

In the original setting, the male and female leads were fated rivals: one with perfected Myriad Tribulations Demon Body—loathed by all spiritual creatures, shrouded in ominous aura; one with Absolute Beginning Sacred Physique—beloved by the Heavenly Dao, cloaked in merit. They were polar opposites of the Heavenly Dao—mutually generating, mutually restraining, mutually existing, mutually destroying. The Myriad Tribulations Demon Body was the natural king of the demon race, just as the Absolute Beginning Sacred Physique was the supreme of the immortal race.

When they collided and sparked—please explain: what happens to the vicious female side character who has to stick close to survive, yet drugged the female lead to cripple her cultivation, blind her, break her legs?

Lan Yunyun didn’t even dare imagine the scene!

Moreover, the male lead was no saint either.

The original story described the background: originally the six realms were basically equal. The immortal race was called “Heavenly Race” and the Immortal Emperor “Heavenly Emperor” because all six realms obeyed the immortal realm’s and Immortal Emperor’s commands, recognizing the Immortal Emperor as ruler of the six realms.

Ruler of one realm = Sovereign. Ruler of six realms = Emperor.

But at that time, Demon Sovereign Shun Heng had perfected his Myriad Tribulations Demon Body and thought himself invincible under heaven. Blinded by ambition for the Heavenly Emperor throne, he killed the disobedient Supreme Elder of the demon realm, led demonic soldiers and generals in rebellion against the immortal realm, intending to replace them.

He had an even greater ambition: to slaughter the six realms until heads rolled and wails filled the land—to further advance his perfected Myriad Tribulations Demon Body.

Above a perfected Myriad Tribulations Demon Body there was only the Heavenly Dao, only gods.

He wanted to become the Dao. Become a god.

The power of the demon body came from the pain and destruction of all living beings.

The power of the sacred body came from the faith and rebirth of all living beings.

Therefore, if the male lead mobilized armies across the six realms, his power wouldn’t grow fast enough before the heavenly realm discovered and destroyed him. But if he didn’t create pain, sorrow, disability, death—he would never surpass the female lead.

His only gamble was that the female lead’s sacred body hadn’t yet perfected.

Both Myriad Tribulations Demon Body and Absolute Beginning Sacred Physique were ultra-rare, Heavenly-Dao-attuned invincible physiques in the novel Nine Thousand Sins.

An incomplete sacred body—even with the wishes and power of the six realms’ living beings (including those in the demon realm who didn’t want pain, mutilation, death)—still couldn’t beat him.

Of course, the villain male lead’s ending was as satisfying as expected. Even if he captured and crippled/killed/sacrificed every demon in the demon realm, he still couldn’t defeat the perfected sacred body female lead empowered by the wishes of six realms’ beings.

The demon realm was first forcibly dragged into war by him, then crippled and sacrificed by him for power—severely weakened—finally lost the war and suffered massive punishment.

If she released the male lead, according to the original story, once his memories gradually returned, the first thing he’d do was kill and sacrifice his own people to gain power.

His own people—Lan Yunyun: don’t @ me, refuse, da-meh da-meh.

This was also why the demon realm felt no sorrow at his “death” and was even secretly delighted.

The demon realm’s post-war dissatisfaction came from feeling they were innocent bystanders, unfairly implicated and punished.

In the original story, the extreme tug-of-war between light and dark, good and evil, salvation and destruction between male and female leads—her redemption of him—was its biggest selling point.

But let’s be real: does a person like that really need saving?

…

Racking her brains until her head felt like it would go bald, Lan Yunyun still couldn’t think of any way to survive.

Advance = die. Retreat = die.

Not releasing him = death. Releasing him = death.

She despaired.

Whyyyyy!

Fam, is this kind of transmigration even real? Did she flush the Heavenly Emperor down the toilet in her last life? How else could she be this miserable?

Thinking and thinking, the corners of her eyes reddened. Sparkling tears slipped down like unstoppable pearls, shattering on the ground and vanishing.

Just like the hope she kept finding and losing.

The sky darkened, cold air crept in. Lan Yunyun unconsciously hugged her arms tighter and let out a clumsy little hiccup-sob.

Her gaze dazed, her mind filled with all sorts of wild ideas.

Suddenly, she thought of the salted fish hanging at her grandma’s house when she was little.

Wind-dried salted fish looks soft, but it’s actually hard as rock when you bite it. Looks unappetizing, but actually tastes amazing.

And salted fish love to lie flat, wanting no conflict with the world—but salted fish are also very resilient.

Yes!

She suddenly felt enlightened!

Heaven never seals off all paths—I, salted-fish Lan Lan, will definitely find a way!

With this belief, the dim light in Lan Yunyun’s eyes reignited with twinkling energy. Her pretty, round face regained a lively flush.

To cheer herself up, she hopped back like a little rabbit.

Decided! Tonight we eat salted fish jerky!

Yay yay yay!

*

The sky was dim.

She was getting close to the array.

Her footsteps gradually slowed.

An uneasy sixth sense rose in her heart.

Out of caution, Lan Yunyun crept like a snow rabbit with ears perked, slipping behind a cold stone and peeking around. Strangely, today’s array was eerily silent and peaceful.

?

Where did the dog woman go?

Doubt filled her heart.

Suddenly, she saw the female lead curled up in a corner at the edge of the array, lying motionless like a corpse.

Black-red blood spread beneath her.

Stark and glaring.

?

??

What the!!!

Mommy!!!

Her mind went completely blank. Without thinking, her body moved before her brain—lunging forward!

She scooped up the female lead. But she felt the body was ice-cold to the bone.

She felt her trembling violently.

She curled tightly in on herself.

Her teeth chattered like a constantly grinding saw.

She saw her face paper-pale, lips blue-purple. Her forehead was covered in dense fine sweat beads.

One hand clutched her eyes tightly—yet scarlet blood still seeped through the gaps between her fingers, trailing down her jaw and dripping onto her shoulder.

Tonight was the fifteenth—full moon.

The original body’s memories suddenly surged.

It was the poison she had administered.

Under heaven,

To immortals, demons, and humans alike—the most vicious, cruel, incurable poison:

Thousand Mechanisms Heavenly Demon Blood.

Made from the refined blood of the once “fallen” Demon Lord Shun Heng, combined with eighty-eight kinds of demon realm poisons.

Not only did this poison block spiritual veins, causing total loss of cultivation.

Because it came from the perfected Myriad Tribulations Demon Body—the demon realm’s supreme—every single drop of blood could detach and take life, crawling over the victim’s entire body like living creatures on the fifteenth night of every lunar month, gnawing at every inch of flesh and blood.

She went mad.

Author’s Note:

Lan cub: Even poisoning them is helping the male and female leads get together. What kind of spirit is this? What kind of self-sacrificing tool character is this? She really… I’m crying to death.
