The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

What exactly is going on?

Yu Chen thought and thought but still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he attributed the cause to the evil thoughts left in his mind by the previous Demon Emperor!

(Former Demon Emperor: I'm dead and can't speak for myself, so you can just pin such a huge accusation on me?)

After Yu Chen mentally cleared himself of the blame, Su Yan finally snapped out of her daze, raised her trembling finger at him, and shouted, "Yu Chen! You, you, you get out of here! Don't ever come into my yard again!"

"I have already given you an explanation, why do you still want to send me away?" Yu Chen asked helplessly and puzzled.

"Because you're a scoundrel!"

Unable to refute, Yu Chen said, "...I'll give you one more promise."

Su Yan's anger turned into attraction. She slowly extended two fingers and tentatively asked, "Two?"

“…Okay.” Yu Chen paused for a moment before agreeing.

His quick agreement lessened the timid look on the girl's face, and she boldly flicked out another finger, "Then...three?"

“…Okay.” Yu Chen hesitated for two seconds before reluctantly agreeing.

"Those four?" Su Yan looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Under the gaze of those eyes that seemed to hold countless starlight, Yu Chen nodded as if possessed, “…Okay.”

The next instant, a small hand with all five fingers spread out was held up in front of his face. "Those five!"

Unable to see those sparkling eyes, Yu Chen finally came to his senses, raised his cat paw to push away the hand in front of his face, and coldly refused, "No!"

"So stingy~" Su Yan withdrew her hand with a disappointed look, the starlight in her eyes dimming considerably.

Yu Chen couldn't help but say, "I can teach you another way to win a man's favor."

You, a practitioner of the ruthless path, are here to teach women how to win a man's favor?

Who dares to believe this?

Su Yan was truly stunned!

She didn't know that her eyes were so expressive that they silently revealed all her thoughts.

Yu Chen felt guilty for a second under her gaze, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Although I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, I will never experience the joys and sorrows of love between men and women."

"But when I descended to the mortal realm for trials, I saw thousands upon thousands of couples. I understand better than a clueless young girl like you what kind of women men like."

"Wow~ Immortal Venerable Yu Chen, you've seen so many couples! Will you really help me win over my second senior brother?" Su Yan looked at him expectantly.

That irritation and stinging sensation surged up again, even more intensely than the previous two times.

Yu Chen felt as if something was sprouting deep within his consciousness.

"Immortal Venerable Yu Chen?"

"...Yes, I will help you obtain..." Anxiety and stinging sensations surged in his mind, preventing Yu Chen from finishing his sentence.

What should I do if he's already starting to regret it?

The system, barely containing its excitement, exclaimed in the space, "Host, host, the villain's favorability rating keeps rising! Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two, ... Ahhh, it's reached forty!"

Su Yan was confused.

I only increased her favorability rating after she showed that she liked Qinghan.

What exactly is going on with this Imperial Immortal Venerable?

Confusion in her heart did not prevent Su Yan from using this method to gain favor.

She hurriedly asked him, "Then what can I do to make my second senior brother like me?"

"Host, your favorability rating has increased by one point again!"

"Alright, stop broadcasting, you're disturbing my task."

"Yes, host!" The system quickly severed its connection with Su Yan's consciousness.

Filled with regret, Yu Chen quickly replied, "First of all, you shouldn't change your clothes and preferences for him."

"But my three junior disciples said that only if I become the kind of person my second senior brother likes will he like me." Su Yan was confused and didn't know who to believe.

"They don't even have a Daoist partner themselves, what do they know?"

You talk as if you have a Daoist partner!

Su Yan thought to herself.

Perhaps Yu Chen also remembered that he didn't have a Daoist partner, so he coughed awkwardly, "Ahem... What I mean is that they are ignorant, so what they say is unreliable. Don't believe them, understand?"

"Oh, I see." Su Yan nodded honestly, suppressing a laugh.

"Yes, you must remember, never change yourself for any man's preferences."

If you change yourself to please them, you will no longer be yourself.

The affection you gain by catering to their preferences is not their affection for you as a person, but their affection for having their preferences fulfilled.

The liking that comes from satisfaction can be stolen by other women who cater to them and give them enough satisfaction.

Do you want that kind of love that could be stolen away by another woman at any moment?

Despite the discomfort in his soul, Yu Chen earnestly told her a passage from the teachings of Yin Yang Valley to its disciples.

This passage proves that there is no true love between men and women; only when each other's desires are satisfied can there be false love.

The disciples of Yin Yang Valley always keep this saying in mind: when engaging in dual cultivation with someone, they only consider whether the other person's cultivation level is beneficial to themselves, and never consider any false affection.

They also gain people's temporary favor by catering to their preferences, and then leave gracefully after a period of dual cultivation with them.

The disciples of Yin Yang Valley never wait for the other party to leave, nor do they cry and whine or act as if they are dying because the other party has left.

Although he was an anomaly in Yin-Yang Valley, cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness and never engaging in dual cultivation with the female disciples in the valley, he still remembered those words.

It's perfect to teach the little fairy this way now.

Hopefully, she will soon see through those illusory feelings and stop liking her second senior brother!

Su Yan was stunned that someone as ruthless as him could say something so insightful. She was taken aback for a moment before shaking her head repeatedly, her face pale. "I don't want that kind of liking!"

I want my second senior brother to like me!

I want the kind of love where no matter if others can meet his preferences, no matter if others are more beautiful, stronger, or better than me, my second senior brother will firmly only love me!

"Immortal Venerable Yu Chen, please teach me! I really like my second senior brother."

She really liked her second senior brother.

Yu Chen felt as if his heart and soul were being torn apart, and the pain gave rise to a strong desire to destroy!

"Immortal Venerable Yu Chen? You promised to help me, you can't go back on your word!" Su Yan bent down and lifted it up, stubbornly staring at him.

"...Then you...you will listen to me from now on," Yu Chen replied with difficulty, his heart and soul trembling.

Is this little fairy so devoted that she can truly see through love and no longer like her second senior brother?

infatuation?

She was deeply in love with her second senior brother...

Suddenly, the little cat broke free from Su Yan's grasp and disappeared in a flash. "I have some things to take care of. I'll be back tomorrow."

The voice came back from afar, and Su Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, "System, how much favorability do you have?"

"Fifty! You're finally halfway there! Keep going, host! Once you reach sixty, it means the big villain likes you!" The system's face turned red with excitement, as if it had drunk ten kilograms of fake liquor, and it spun around in the system space.

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

Does one only consider oneself liking something at sixty?

That Imperial Immortal Venerable's reaction was very abnormal.

Is it because of the ruthless path?

I have a feeling there's more to it than just that...
