After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

As soon as the system came online, it saw Yun Zhao's suicidal act and immediately emitted a sharp, explosive sound:

"Host, what are you doing?!"

"Qi Yan is about to fall into demonic possession," Yun Zhao cried out, desperately trying to control the demonic energy. "System, please think of something!"

Upon hearing that Qi Yan was about to become a demon, the system was so anxious it almost short-circuited. In a place where Yun Zhao couldn't see, a ball of light grew hands and hair, which frantically scratched its scalp.

"Think of a way, think of a way, you blockhead, hurry up and think of something!!!"

“Hey, got it!”

The system thought for a long time, practically tearing its hair out, before finally coming up with an idea. It clenched its fist, as if it had made up its mind.

It said to Yun Zhao, "Host, I can forcibly suppress Qi Yan's demonic possession, but it will cost me some favorability points..."

Yun Zhao quickly said, "Use it as you like, hurry up!"

You can always try to increase your favorability rating, but if Qi Yan goes mad, then you're really doomed!

When I first started doing the mission, the system said that when Qi Yan was still a demon, he still had a trace of humanity.

But if he were to become possessed by a demon, he would truly be a ruthless and heartless villain.

At that point, let alone guiding him onto the right path, it would be good enough if he didn't kill anyone.

Yun Zhao had read many books about demonic cultivators or demons since he transmigrated here. The demons were even more mysterious than the monsters. Even the sect leaders and elders of the four major sects did not know where the demons lived.

However, cultivators and demons can become demons and communicate with the demons, using their own souls as a price to make the demons appear and help them.

For cultivators, the soul is of utmost importance; without a soul, there is no chance of reincarnation.

Sometimes, death is not the most terrifying thing; the most terrifying thing is when the soul dissipates into the world.

Therefore, after becoming possessed by a demon, handing over one's soul to a demon can allow the demon to do things for one's benefit. However, at the same time, the possessed cultivator or demon will lose their rationality and undergo a drastic personality change, becoming a puppet who only knows how to kill.

In the original story, Qi Yan gained immense power after becoming a demon. For some reason, he did not lose his mind, but his personality changed drastically, turning him into a ruthless killer.

[Affection level -60, current affection level 0]

Yun Zhao: "..."

No hehe.

She was prepared for her favorability rating to drop drastically, but she never expected that she hadn't prepared enough!

We've gone back to square one!

Originally, my favorability rating hadn't increased since entering the Song family's forbidden area, and now it's decreased.

That's it, her chances of going home are slim.

After a series of operations in the background, a portion of the light sphere silently entered Qi Yan's body. Qi Yan immediately stopped absorbing demonic energy, and his eyes were no longer glazed.

"Zhao Zhao," Qi Yan moved her stiff arms, "What's wrong with me?"

“You almost succumbed to demonic possession just now,” Yun Zhao said with a sigh of relief as the demonic energy dissipated. “Luckily, the Cold Jade Pendant was useful, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Qi Yan glanced at the jade pendant hanging at his waist, and he had doubts about Yun Zhao's words.

Is this jade pendant really useful?

However, if Zhaozhao says it's useful, then it's useful.

Qi Yan patted Yun Zhao's head. "Yes, it's fortunate that you gave me this jade pendant back then."

Seeing that she had fooled Qi Yan, Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. If he had pressed her for details, she really wouldn't have known how to answer.

We can't just reveal the system to others, can we?

The only pity is that her favorability rating dropped to zero; at least leave her with a little bit...

[Villain Qi Yan's current favorability rating is 100. Congratulations to host Yun Zhao for completing one of the tasks! (Sprinkling flowers!) (Sprinkling flowers!) (Sprinkling flowers!)]

Right.

Yun Zhao was stunned.

Is this what is going on?

The system had just finished operating, and the light sphere was a little sleepy because it had lost part of its body.

It was so tired it could barely open its eyes and was about to log off to rest when the system announcement instantly woke it up!

"Master, it might be a system malfunction. Don't worry, I'll go check it out--"

After saying that, the system logged off before Yun Zhao could ask any more questions.

Yun Zhao: "..."

So there was a malfunction. No wonder her favorability rating was 100. She knew it. Even if Qi Yan had feelings for her, it wouldn't have reached 100 so quickly.

Yun Zhao put the matter out of his mind. Over at the cage, Song Qinghua had already stopped absorbing demonic energy.

As soon as he stopped, plates of food appeared in the cage. The demons skillfully got up, dusted themselves off, and began to eat.

The food was not made from ordinary grains, but from the meat of various high-level demonic beasts.

Yun Zhao's lips twitched. Their nonchalant attitude suggested that they had absorbed a lot of demonic energy from Song Qinghua and were used to the process.

However, Yun Zhao was curious about one thing: "Why didn't Song Qinghua absorb all their demonic energy at once? Was he going to keep them around and slowly exploit them?"

“It might be as you said,” Qi Yan added, “or it could be that their power is too great for Song Qinghua to absorb all at once.”

Yun Zhao nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled slyly, "Ayan, these demons are Song Qinghua's 'food,' what if we added something to their 'food'..."

Qi Yan raised an eyebrow. "What kind of material?"

Yun Zhao took out a small jade bottle and waved it in front of Qi Yan. "This is the Meridian Powder that my senior uncle gave me. This medicine is colorless and odorless. Because spiritual medicines are hard to find, there is only one bottle of it."

"The Meridian Powder is not a poison; it simply causes the person who has been poisoned to pause for a moment when using spiritual energy."

"The longer the treatment time for traditional Chinese medicine, the more times it will stop."

In a battle between masters, life and death can often be decided in an instant. In the current situation, if they use poison, Song Qinghua will notice. But what if it's not poison?

Qi Yan understood her meaning and opened the jade bottle.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying away some unknown powder.

The breeze didn't reach Song Qinghua; instead, it entered the cage.

"The food the Song family provides is getting worse and worse!"

Shi took a bite, threw down his chopsticks, and went to cultivate in the corner of the cage.

The other demons weren't as picky as him, and they all ate with gusto.

"Hey, we can't compare to Lord Shi. He's used to a life of luxury and fine clothes, how could he possibly look down on these simple meals?"

Someone said in a sarcastic tone.

Others chimed in, "Yeah, we've come this far, filling our stomachs is the most important thing. Even if we die, we'll die well-fed."

The cages that trapped them were made of special materials, which suppressed their cultivation and prevented them from using demonic energy.

Therefore, one needs to eat three meals a day like an ordinary person, otherwise being hungry is uncomfortable. Being absorbed by Song Qinghua's demonic energy and still being hungry is even more uncomfortable.

They went further and further, saying that since they were going to die here anyway, they might as well do whatever they wanted while they were still alive.

Hearing those people's foul language, Shi was not moved at all. He felt his cultivation gradually recovering and subtly curled the corners of his mouth.

A bunch of idiots.

Since they're so stupid, there's no need for him to take them out with him.

Going out wouldn't be of any help; in fact, it would only make his task more difficult.
