I Am the Source of Darkness, Causing Chaos in the Eternal Heavens

Chapter 7 What a Terrifying Native Small Villain, System Save Me

“I… I’m Su Ling. How could you not recognize me, cousin?”

“Or has it been so many years that you’ve forgotten who I am?”

Panic flashed briefly in Su Ling’s eyes, but he quickly hid it, then smiled nonchalantly and questioned her back.

With a snap, he opened his folding fan, trying to appear graceful, though cold sweat was forming.

That was close. Su Mingyue almost noticed something was off.

This destiny’s favored one seems quite perceptive.

Su Ling wasn’t foolish; he knew he had been getting carried away recently.

Relying on his status as a transmigrator with a system, he looked down on many of this world’s natives.

Moreover, he couldn’t quite manage the original owner’s mature and gentle demeanor, inevitably exposing flaws over time.

“Hmm?”

“Are you really Cousin Su Ling?”

Su Mingyue furrowed her delicate brows, asking softly, as if seeking confirmation.

She still found Su Ling before her quite strange, exuding an unfamiliarity she couldn’t pinpoint.

It was as if… he were a weasel in human skin, those eyes filled with lewdness and ill intent.

Her dislike grew.

In a few short years, Su Ling had turned into this? Comparing him to his past self, he was drastically different.

Su Ling’s smile stiffened, cold sweat forming on his forehead. He hadn’t expected Su Mingyue’s senses to be so sharp.

She was beginning to doubt his identity.

“System, system, system, damn system, help me out here, help me…”

With no other choice, Su Ling mentally called out to his system for help.

“Ding, please respect this system. Continuing to insult will activate the self-destruction protocol.”

“No, no, no, system daddy, system grandpa, help me…”

Su Ling almost turned green with fear. If the system self-destructed, his grand plans would be ruined.

“Ding, detecting current environment, providing the following choices.”

“Option 1: Explain that a mishap during cultivation recently affected your personality. Reward: Mastery in acting, increased body harmony.”

“Option 2: Don’t explain, directly attack and abduct the female lead Su Mingyue to return to the Su clan. Reward: Curse of misfortune, backlash in luck.”

Damn.

Hearing the system’s choices, Su Ling wanted to curse. These options were a trap.

Not explaining and attacking Su Mingyue would result in misfortune and backlash, likely exposing his identity.

Did he have a choice?

“Option 1.”

The next moment, a warm feeling flowed through his body, and his mind filled with knowledge and experience in acting.

Su Ling felt his body’s harmony improve, his expressions and movements becoming more natural.

Though he had been adapting over the past few days, it wasn’t his own body, and it felt strange and awkward.

“A mishap during my recent cultivation affected my personality, so it’s normal for you to find me strange, cousin…”

Su Ling now wore a natural and calm smile, explaining himself.

“Is that so?”

Su Mingyue still seemed unconvinced, not believing Su Ling’s explanation.

Right now, Su Ling looked to her like a monkey in a crown.

A mishap during cultivation? Could it be possession?

This thought crossed her mind. Having been the saintess of the Butian God Sect, she had some insight.

But with the system backing him, Su Ling gained confidence and started conversing easily.

To prove he was Su Ling, he began recounting past memories with Su Mingyue.

“Mingyue, what’s going on?”

The Su family head, arriving shortly after, asked, confused by the scene.

“Father…”

Su Mingyue shook her head, hesitant to speak.

Though she suspected possession, she had no concrete evidence.

Moreover, Su Ling was the third young master of one of the eight ancient clans, the Su clan, far beyond her current reach.

Accusing him could bring disaster to the Su family.

“Greetings, Uncle. Mingyue was doubting my identity, so I had to prove myself by recounting past events.”

Su Ling explained with a smile, then added understandingly, “It’s understandable for her to be upset and doubtful after the recent engagement issue.”

“Hmm? Recent engagement issue?”

Both Su Mingyue and the Su family head were taken aback.

“How did you know about the engagement cancellation?”

Su Mingyue’s eyes turned cold, her tone icy.

She quickly realized Su Ling’s intentions. He hadn’t shown up three years ago when her cultivation regressed,

But now, hearing about the engagement, he rushed over, eager to show his concern and curry favor.

Even a fool could see through his motives.

“What? Could it be you weren’t…?”

Su Ling sensed something was wrong, his smile freezing again.

It didn’t make sense. The young master of the hidden immortal clan was already at the Su residence. How could he not cancel the engagement?

“Sorry to disappoint you, Cousin Su Ling.”

Su Mingyue said coldly, seeing the astonishment and disbelief on Su Ling’s face.

“Hahaha, that’s good…”

Su Ling felt utterly confused but forced a laugh, then quickly asked the system for help.

If the engagement wasn’t canceled, he had to find another way.

He couldn’t let such a peerless beauty fall into the hands of a native.

“Mingyue, there you are. May I ask who this is?”

At that moment, a clear and gentle voice came from outside the hall.

A tall, handsome man in white walked in, exuding an otherworldly aura.

“This guy is…”

Even with the system, Su Ling’s face changed drastically, feeling an overwhelming sense of fear.

When the man’s gaze fell on him, it felt like an invisible hand gripped his heart, nearly suffocating him.

What a terrifying person.

Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

“Young Master Jiang, what brings you here?”

Seeing Jiang Minghan, Su Mingyue was slightly surprised but then smiled beautifully, walking towards him.

It seemed she only felt safe around Jiang Minghan.

“Jiang? The young master of the hidden immortal clan?”

Hearing Su Mingyue’s address, Su Ling felt his scalp tingle, his face changing color.

He hadn’t expected the native villain he looked down upon to be so terrifying, causing him physical pain with just a glance.

“System, system, system, save me, save me…”
