The Lustful Young Master is Sinister!

Chapter 235: Fortune lux

Bai Lung raised an eyebrow skeptically. “And how can I trust you?” he asked, his voice cutting like ice.

The system fairy winced at his sharp tone but she continued speaking.

[ I understand your skepticism, but the story I told you is the truth ]

she replied, her voice earnest.

[ I was an immortal fairy who survived two Qi Flow cycles, a practically impossible feat. But I was dying, losing my power and essence. That’s where you came in… ]

Bai Lung gritted his teeth in frustration, but he remained silent, listening to her explanation.

[ You were the only way I could survive ]

the system fairy continued.

[ You had a powerful primordial origin and a strong soul, and I sensed that I could gain power if I could bind myself to you. I never wanted to deceive or harm you, but I needed a way to save myself ]

As he listened to the system fairy’s explanation, Bai Lung’s expression grew cold.

He refused to feel sympathy for her, no matter how desperately she tried to justify her actions.

He was not going to let his heart be swayed by her story of survival

The system fairy’s expression turned more desperate as she saw his unyielding expression.

[ Please, you must understand ]

she pleaded.

[I had no choice. I was dying, and you were the only way for me to survive ]

Bai Lung’s sharp eyes narrowed as he clenched his jaws. “I understand,” he said coldly.

“You needed me to survive. But that’s all you needed me for, wasn’t it? You used me, deceived me, just to save yourself,”

[No!] The system fairy protested.

[ Yes, I did use you, but I also helped you. I guided you through challenges, gave you rewards, taught you techniques ]

“Ha!” Bai Lung let out a bitter laugh. “Cared for me? You call binding yourself to me, hiding the truth from me, and using my energy without my consent or care? How gullible do you think I am?”

Bai Lung already knows about the binding, it’s because of system binding, that his soul was weak.

[ I…I didn’t have a choice ]

The system fairy mumbled, her voice filled with regret.

[ If I told you the truth, would you have let me bind myself to you? We both would have died… You were fated to die in the hands of Bai Huan ]

Bai Lung’s expression remained cold despite the system fairy’s earnest pleas, he maintained a demeanor of sharpness.

“So, you admit that you had no choice but to use me,” he said, his voice icy.

“You bound yourself to me not out of care, but out of necessity.”

The system fairy hung her head in shame. [ Yes ] she whispered, her voice barely audible.

[ I bound myself to you because it was the only way I could survive. But I did care for you, in my own way ]

Bai Lung’s lip curled in disdain. “What a convenient excuse. You call using my energy, deceiving me, and hiding the truth ‘caring’? I believe your definition and mine are quite different,”

The system fairy remained silent, unable to refute his words.

She knew she had betrayed his trust and used him for her benefit, but she still couldn’t bring herself to completely abandon him.

“You know,” Bai Lung said with a steely expression, “I trusted you. I thought we were cultivation partners, allies in this dangerous world. But it was all a lie, wasn’t it? You had no intention of being genuine with me. You were using me all along,”

It was true, Bai along thought the system was a helpful ally but the main reason he was weak was due to the system.

Not to mention, system had bound itself to Bai Lung long ago, it only showed up during his 18th birthday.

Meanwhile,

The system fairy flinched, stung by his accusation. ”

[ No, that’s not true ]

she protested feebly.

[ Yes, I bound myself to you for my own survival, but I did care for you too. I helped you, guided you, even saved you a few times… ]

“Ah, yes,” Bai Lung said sarcastically.

“How could I forget your ‘care’? You helped me so I could be more useful to you, guided me to make sure I didn’t stray from your plan and saved me because I still served a purpose to you. How selfless of you…”

The system fairy winced at his biting words. She knew he was right, and it stung. But she couldn’t bring herself to admit complete guilt.

[ It wasn’t like that at first ] she protested weakly.

[ At first, it was a genuine partnership. I really did…care for you. We were both partners in hunting the chosen protagonist ]

Bai Lung’s jaw clenched as he glared at her.

“And then what? When did your care turn into manipulation? When did you decide it was okay to use me without my knowledge? Don’t try to justify your actions. The truth is, I was nothing but a tool for you, a means to an end,”

But chosen one? What a joke, she was just a selfish creature, who wanted to use Bai Lung to hunt the protagonist.

Apparently, these chosen ones have something called Fortune Lux which can actually strengthen the system… Not to mention, she even wanted to devour Bai Lung as she had mentioned, once you devour a few protagonists, you can develop a protagonist halo itself.

( a/n: Fortune lux is a concept that refers to an invisible and ever-changing force that influences the outcomes of events and affects the growth and development of the protagonist or person.

It is believed to be the underlying mechanism that shapes the flow of luck and chance in the universe, influencing everything from the smallest coincidences to the grandest of life’s events.

The Fortune lux is a unique and unreplicable force, and its presence can be felt by those who have mastered their Dao

In simple terms, it’s like plot armor which can constantly save protagonists as long as they have luck. )

‘Fortune lux… Throughout my life, I had always thought the protagonist has a high number of luck, but it turns out to be fake, protagonist’s luck is useless unless there is another protagonist or someone unaffected by luck… ‘

Bai Lung got goosebumps just thinking about Fortune Lux, it’s just like Halo, but capable of changing every situation in one’s favor.

And what’s more… Bai Lung himself possesses Fortune Lux, an invisible aura, that can always keep situations in his favor.
