I Transmigrated into the Abusive Master of the Male Lead - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Yun Qi was clever, I had to give her that.

This whip had been made from the dragon scales Ying Xun had shed, then soaked in spiritual herbs that suppressed the Dragon Clan. Add to that years upon years of being steeped in dragon blood, and no wonder it could hurt Ying Xun.

The System sounded a little displeased. “You didn’t cut off his dragon horns.”

“What’s the rush?” I tossed the whip aside and began searching the room.

The System had said that Yun Qi owned an ancient text.

The Dragon Clan stood at the head of all spiritual beings. They were powerful in battle and auspicious beasts favored by fate itself, so few people dared set their sights on them.

Yet this ancient text recorded the uses of every part of a dragon’s body, along with methods to counter them, in such detail that it was as if someone had dissected a dragon with words.

It turned the lofty Dragon Clan into delicacies and rare treasures that anyone would covet, into immortal pills and miracle medicine.

Whoever wrote it truly deserved death.

When Ying Xun was picked up by Yun Qi, he was still a dragon egg.

If not for this ancient text, Yun Qi would never have thought to raise a member of the Dragon Clan in captivity in the delusional hope of refining him into an immortal medicine.

Dragons gained sentience before they even broke out of their shells, but Ying Xun had been raised by her like livestock. Whenever something displeased her, she would beat and humiliate him as she pleased.

To Yun Qi, Ying Xun was nothing more than a medicinal ingredient.

So when she learned that dragon horns could regenerate, she could not wait to summon Ying Xun over, intending to cut off his horns and offer them up to curry favor.

I found the book in a corner of her mustard-seed space.

When I saw the four words Fuguang Manuscript on the cover, I froze for an instant, then laughed.

So it was an old acquaintance.

While I was reading, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

It was my eldest disciple, the female lead appointed by the Heavenly Dao.

Ruan Yu held her sword in her arms. Her black hair was tied neatly behind her head, and her face had the cool beauty of frost and moonlight.

A Golden Core cultivator at just a hundred years old, the leader of the younger generation in sword cultivation. Yun Qi had always seen her as a source of pride.

I did not understand how Yun Qi, a pill refiner, had taken a sword cultivator as her disciple.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao was so eager to matchmake the male and female leads that it had started resorting to anything.

I smiled. “What brings you to your Master?”

“I just ran into Junior Brother. He was covered in wounds again.” Ruan Yu’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she could not bear the sight.

I nodded with a smile.

The female lead was kindhearted and often secretly delivered medicine to the male lead. She was the only warmth in his miserable life, the white moonlight in his heart.

It was just that Yun Qi had treated this eldest disciple too well. Only when the male lead fell into demonic cultivation did the female lead finally see her master for what she truly was.

By then, everything was too late.

I did not understand why the female lead was coming to me instead of taking medicine to the male lead and deepening their bond.

Ruan Yu held out her hand with complete confidence. “Master, since you’re the one who caused those wounds, of course you should provide the wound medicine.”

“I only had so much savings, and I’ve spent it all buying medicine for Junior Brother.”

She stroked her sword with heartache. “I don’t even have money to buy my darling a new sword tassel.”

Sword cultivators were poor to begin with. Making her cover Ying Xun’s medicine costs on top of that was indeed a little unreasonable.

I paused, then directly handed her a storage pouch, saying with the casual confidence of someone filthy rich, “Take it. Spend whatever you want.”

Ruan Yu’s eyes lit up at once.

Still a little worried, I added, “Don’t tell your Junior Brother the medicine came from me.”

She nodded repeatedly.
