Chapter 28: The protagonist of an ancient abusive novel (Part 2)
Translated by peonynoveltl
With Du Haitang’s nod, this matter of studying is now easier. Under her pillow talk, Gu Bai who wasn’t qualified to study together with the young masters and misses of Fu under the private teacher that they expensively hired, found the opportunity to go to a private class.
Already completed two tasks, Gu Bai learned a lot of things, but he is a noob when it comes to things like poetry, songs and so on. So he learned very seriously, he must package himself to be a top student* full of knowledge in the future.
*literally “academic overlord”
Anyway, the time is still early and the original host’s body is still small, only ten years old. He’s not anxious to scheme against Fu Junli. Studying during the day and cultivating at night, actively doing preparatory work for his strategy.
Just like this, time flew and six years passed.
In the past six years, Gu Bai kept a very low profile. Other than that time when he passed the imperial examination at 13 years old and became a famous figure, he spent the rest of his time at home to study and practice.
This was something that he had no choice but to do it. The original host’s body is truly enchanting. In just a few short years, he developed a face so devastatingly beautiful that it can cause the downfall of a country. Therefore, if he doesn’t keep a low profile, he will face a group of cannon fodder cucumbers!
Although he has the ability to protect himself now and isn’t afraid, he can’t be exposed. No matter how skillful his methods are in the dark, he must be a weak and easily pushed down Du Yunxi on the surface.

If other people finds out that he’s a wolf wearing human skin, it will become unfavorable for him to attack Fu Junli that demon gong from the back.
There’s also that ‘pretending to be a pig to prey on the tiger’, it’s a necessary skill to deceive people at home.
Of course, there will also be accidents in a perfect plan.
In the plot, the one who burst the original host’s chrysanthemum the most, Fu family’s second son, accidentally bumped into Gu Bai a few days ago. He was instantly overwhelmed* by the original host’s skin. Then this hedonistic gong started thinking of ways to bring him to bed.
*to take someone for a fairy
a very beautiful person
However, due to the fact that Gu Bai is now a well-known scholar and was also praised by Lord Fu several times, he didn’t dare to directly tie him up and then force himself on him like in the plot, he could only think of other ways.
On this day, when Gu Bai was reading a book, a servant came to the coutyard.
”Du gongzi*, young master Tianci invites you to Lihua Garden to admire the beauty of chrysanthemums tonight….”

*honorific used to address a son from nobility/high status
Gu Bai’s eyebrow twitched the moment he heard it. No need intuition, just based on these few words from young master Tianci, he knew that this invitation definitely had ulterior motives.
Young master Tianci is the second son of Fu family who brought the original host onto the path of a weak shou. If he only occasionally peeped at the original host’s chrysanthemum, then never mind, but he just had to be a psychopathic master.
In the plot, this hedonistic beast called his gang of scoundrels to come share his new pet and made the original host who just became a weak shou and haven’t adapt yet embark on the inhuman path of NP*.

*harem
So one can imagine how much hate the original host has toward this second young master that changed his whole life.
In that case, our task to attack will start with you!
Gu Bai’s expression paused for a moment and then he responded with cupped hands, “Alright, please report back to second young master, Yunxi will arrive later…”
After that, Gu Bai returned his room to change his clothes and went to the banquet.

On the other side, Fu Tianci already took his first step out of the house and started eating and drinking with his gang of scoundrels while teasing the pretty ladies. Under the servant’s rushing, Gu Bai changed his clothes quickly and went up carriage.
The carriage sped all the way, it took almost a quarter of an hour to arrive at a tea house called ‘Lihua Garden’. This is the largest tea house in the county and it’s also the favorite meeting place for nobles.
The servant led Gu Bai into the private room of a group of hedonists.
As soon as he entered, Gu Bai attracted everyone’s attention. To be more precise, it’s the original host’s beautiful skin that attracted everyone’s attention. The charm of a beauty can’t be underestimated.
This perfect and delicate face is really beautiful, his fair skin is like a piece of flawless jade, exuding a lustrous sheen, and his blue eyes glisten like the light reflected in a rippling lake.
Even Gu Bai himself has to admit that the original host’s body has the ability to cause the downfall of a country despite being a man. With this kind of appearance, just one face to face is enough to draw out the three immortal souls and seven mortal forms* of other people. As the saying goes, even with a pretty face, life is still bitter. His tragic fate is linked to his gorgeous face….
*the spiritual and carnal side of man (Daoism)
So everyone’s line of sight locked on to him just like that. They stared at him and swallowed their saliva continuously, wanting to swallow down the beauty.
In the end, it was Fu Tianci this livestock who came back to his senses first. He signalled the beauties and servants to withdraw and lock the door, then vulgarly exchanged a few looks with his gang of scoundrels. He fiercely spoke to Gu Bai.

”Du Yunxi, your courage really grew. Don’t think that you are really Fu family’s young master just because you passed the imperial exam and father looked at you. Bengongzi* let you come to Lihua Garden to admire the beauty of chrysanthemums and you actually came just now, making bengongzi wait for so long, are you looking down on bengongzi? What are you staring blankly for, quickly pour wine for the other gongzis in apology!”
*this (used arrogantly/to show superiority) gongzi
Followed by his voice, a servant brought over a jug of wine.
Gu Bai took one glance and he’s absolutely certain that the wine must be drugged. In the plot, Fu Tianci this livestock used this underhanded tactic. As long as he drank this wine, everything that follows after won’t be up to him.
What a bastard, there’s a road to heaven but you won’t walk on it, there’s no door to hell but you persistently slap away God’s hand. Today God will let you know what is called ‘die beneath a peony flower (metaphor for beautiful woman), but can still flirt as a ghost!’

Popcorn isekai fic. The cover, drawn by yours truly, will reflect the current evolution of the main character. Also, he'll be pretty weak-to-strong, since, well, maggots are kind-of-really weak.

Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
