Chapter 6: I Won’t Get Stronger Even If I Go Bald
Amazing! I never thought I’d achieve the great feat of building a harem and conquering them all in my previous life?!
“So, am I frequently losing my mind because of the influence of my past life?”
“Yes. That past life was the complete opposite of your current personality, Lord Juncheng. He was a very frivolous man, not only a pure hedonist but also dedicated to ensuring the pleasure of the women he favored…”
“The pleasure you’re referring to, by any chance, is…”
Yu Hui was being deliberately vague, but I understood what kind of pleasure she meant… The Joy of Merging, right?
Yu Hui nodded and replied with a grim expression. “He was a philandering scumbag who flaunted his minor talent everywhere to attract women, sowing his seeds all over the place like a great stud.”
“To be evaluated like this by you, what kind of guy was he?!”
It seems she has quite a strong opinion of my past self. For Yu Hui to resort to such derogatory words, just how much of a scumbag was I?
“To put it nicely, he was affectionate; to put it bluntly, he was promiscuous. Moreover, he had an uncanny number of female admirers, always bringing some strange women home… Not like stray cats or dogs or anything, I really don’t understand how he could pick up a woman every time he went for a walk… I was truly heartbroken over it…”
Picking up a woman every time he went for a walk?! That’s simply divine, isn’t it!
I’m so envious, he was an absolute winner in life! Damn it!
Also, what was Yu Hui to me in my past life? It seems we were family. So… was she my wife? In other words, in my past life, I already had a principal wife, yet I was still after other women?
…No, I absolutely cannot see myself as that kind of person. He’s not even human!
Could my surname in my past life have been Ito…?
Suddenly, I became curious about how I died in my past life.
“Um, Yu Hui, by any chance, did my past self end up dying by a kitchen knife? You might not understand that, but in other words, did my past self die at the hands of a woman in the end?”
If he was indeed a scumbag who played with women, his end would likely be decapitation or dismemberment…
“It’s a little different… Your past self…”
“Ah! That’s enough! You don’t need to say it!”
Just as Yu Hui was about to voice the cause of my past self’s death, I, like a madman, put my hand up to refuse her.
“Do you have any concerns?”
“…It’s just that, I suddenly feel it’s better if I don’t dwell too much on my past life. I’m afraid that after hearing it, I might think of some past life memories… If I remember them, I’m afraid I’ll cease to be myself.”
Besides, what happened in my past life is already in the past. Knowing it now is useless.
Yu Hui’s face turned pale, and she pursed her lips, lowering her head.
I suddenly realized that my previous words had inadvertently included Yu Hui.
I quickly waved my hands and apologized.
“Uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to deny you.”
You idiot, how could I bring this up in front of Yu Hui!
It was precisely because Yu Hui had awakened her past life memories that she was so fixated on me. Yet here I was, telling her I didn’t want to recall my past life, showing an attitude of wanting to cut ties with it. This was practically denying her very existence!
“I’m sorry! Look at this damned mouth of mine! What was I even saying!”
I was incredibly annoyed, wanting to slap myself. My hand actually moved towards my cheek.
But it was stopped.
Yu Hui gripped my wrist, then held my hands with both of hers, and looked up with a smile.
“I’ve told you before, Lord Juncheng, you don’t need to apologize. Moreover, you’re right. Past life entanglements shouldn’t be brought into this life. No matter what your past self did, it has nothing to do with the current you.”
It was a forced smile.
Even her title was tinged with a hint of gray. It was a sad emotion…
Yu Hui thought of me in every way, yet I hurt her with my words. It was truly inexcusable.
There was no way to salvage this now, and I couldn’t think of any comforting words. It was best to drop this topic for now.
Steeling myself, I changed the subject. “Then why did my past life memories suddenly start affecting me?”
“This might be my fault… I believe you didn’t ‘recall your past life memories’ but were ‘influenced by the past life memories I possess’.”
“Uh? You mean, it’s not that I suddenly awakened my past life memories, but rather that I received your memories, and they in turn influenced me?”
It feels so convoluted…
But I think I understand the difference.
It’s probably the same reason as when Kaoru Tsukiyose let me see her memories. Because Yu Hui was always by my side, I unconsciously received her memories. And her memories contained my past self, which is why I’ve been acting strangely.
“Yes. Because your Spiritual Power has become very strong, and you can’t properly control the emission and convergence of your Spiritual Power, your emitted Spiritual Power received my memories. Ultimately, this is my fault. It’s because I previously entertained the thought that Lord Juncheng might also recall his past life memories, that you were passively influenced…”
“It’s not your fault.”
If anything, I bear some responsibility. It’s my fault for not being able to control my Spiritual Power well. In the end, it’s my own making.
“You don’t need to comfort me. I truly caused you trouble this time. My ignorance led to your mental confusion. Yu Hui is willing to accept punishment!”
Yu Hui bowed to me again. Why do people like kneeling to apologize nowadays? I remember Lanhua also knelt to apologize back then…
…This kind of apology only makes me feel unable to bear it! And I mean, as a beautiful girl, you shouldn’t easily kneel to others! Do you also need to expose your chest or belly?!
“Wait, don’t just suddenly kneel. And even if you want me to punish you, I don’t know how…”
“Insult me in the way you like, beat me, **me, use me as a punching bag, a vent for your anger… * It’s just… I originally belonged to you, Lord Juncheng. Yu Hui is willing.”
This sentence, coming from the mouth of a beautiful girl, was like a bombshell exploding in my mind.
Her using the extreme posture of prostration to say such a thing, what did it mean?
It meant she had given her body to me.
No matter what I did to her, she wouldn’t resist, because she had already surrendered ownership to me.
In other words, I could do anything I wanted to her.
I started imagining myself wantonly playing with Yu Hui in my mind, stripping her clothes, putting a collar and blindfold on her, restraining her limbs, and then…
“Stop!”
Then what the hell! Right! A headbutt would do!
I placed my hands on Yu Hui’s shoulders and forced her to stand up, then rammed my head forward.
With a dull thud, I saw stars and felt dizzy, but thankfully, those scattered thoughts disappeared.
Yu Hui was also covering her forehead, with tears welling up in her eyes, and cried out.
“…What are you doing…”
“What kind of nonsense are you spouting! How could I possibly do that kind of thing to you! And you know my mental state is unstable right now, so don’t say things that shake me! What if I can’t help myself!”
“That would be even better…”
“What?!”
“No, it’s just that, what I mean is, Yu Hui really wants to be taken down by you…”
“No, that, I, I don’t…”
It seems Yu Hui was also disoriented from my headbutt.
Annoyed, I pressed her head and rubbed it hard a few times before saying this.
“Alright, consider this headbutt as my punishment! Let’s continue, besides being influenced by past life memories, what else is there?”
“Yes, if it were only for this reason, then I would only need to stay away from you. But there are other factors.”
Just one past life memory is enough to bear, and there are still other reasons? I might be beyond saving.
If there’s truly no hope, I’ll write a will now bequeathing my body to Miss Ji Lianbing and then chop off my hands to send to Xue.
“What I was chanting in your ear just now was the ‘Heart-Purifying Mantra.’ For ordinary people, it only stabilizes their mind and clears their thoughts. But for you, it had a stronger effect… because you are already possessed by an inner demon.”
Inner demon?
The inner demon that often appears in fantasy novels?
“Lord Juncheng, please forgive my offense, but how did your Spiritual Power become so extraordinary?”
…..
What should I do, should I tell her…?
SB 5C9.
Well, I should tell her, otherwise, this matter won’t be resolved. Besides, Yu Hui doesn’t just blab things indiscriminately… Ah, right.
I turned my head and chose a random angle, speaking loudly.
“Um, Lanhua, who is watching us somewhere, please remember not to casually tell anyone about this!”
*Ring ring*
A text message arrived instantly.
2017-5-6 09:10
[Oops, my mouth isn’t very tight. Will only completely shut if Juncheng kisses me? (~°)r]
“Hmph. As expected, I should just block her.”
I pressed the return button, navigated to the phone’s home screen, then tapped on the phone’s contact list. I found the phone number recorded under her title, “[Stalker (Advanced) 1],” and was about to add it to the blacklist when a series of vibrations sounded.
[Phone numbers are registered by real names now, it’s difficult for me to get a new number! Besides, Juncheng, you’ve already blocked ten or more numbers. Didn’t you compromise with me last time not to block me anymore? Juncheng, you’re not an untrustworthy person, are you?]
That was the battle of wits between Lanhua and me when I was hospitalized… It was incredibly annoying, I almost wanted to throw my phone away. If it were my past self, I would have definitely thrown it away. But now I have made friends. My phone is finally functioning as a basic communication tool. Especially since Xue Qing, who just learned to use a phone recently, sends me text messages, Lianbing often calls me, and I chat with Yingliang about anime, so throwing it away is really difficult.
Later, I negotiated with Lanhua, and we finally reached a compromise.
“Back then, I said we’d each make concessions. As long as you send no more than three text messages and make calls for no more than three minutes a day, and don’t spread my personal information, I won’t block you! What I’m about to say next is my personal matter, so you handle it yourself.”
2017-5-6 09:13
[So annoying, Juncheng can’t take a joke at all (.3*)]
[Okay, okay, I won’t casually talk about it~ And knowing another of Juncheng’s secrets is also a great thing for me.-. That should be fine…]
After dealing with Lanhua, I said solemnly to Yu Hui.
“The reason my Spiritual Power became so strong is that I signed a Master-Servant Contract with a Succubus…”
“What kind of demon dares to take Lord Juncheng as its servant! I’ll go destroy it right now!”
Before I could finish, Yu Hui impulsively stood up and angrily turned to jump out the window.
I quickly hugged her from behind, but couldn’t stop her momentum. Seeing that she had already reached the window, I quickly explained with one sentence.
“No, no, no, you’re mistaken, I’m the master here!”
“Eh?”
Yu Hui’s hand touched the edge of the window. Hearing my words, she turned back with a look of surprise and asked.
“Lord Juncheng is the master? Why would this happen—”
Novel
“Um, this is a bit complicated, let me explain.”
Then I recounted the bizarre process of signing the contract with Teacher Lili, naturally also explaining my abilities, but I didn’t reveal that the Succubus who contracted with me was Teacher Lili.
“So that explains it. No wonder you called out my name back then.”
After listening to my explanation, Yu Hui nodded repeatedly as if struck by a sudden realization.
“So, you’ve inherited part of that Succubus’s spirit… That Succubus is Teacher Yang from the Library, right?”
“Eh? How did you know!”
I had deliberately concealed Teacher Lili’s name, but I didn’t expect Yu Hui to know.
“Isn’t that obvious? The only Succubi in the school are the Principal and Teacher Yang. The Principal is unlikely, so it can only be Teacher Yang.”
…This matter is just a coincidence… In short, I inherited Lili’s Spiritual Power.
“I see, then I understand.”
“You know the reason?”
“Yes. Your Spiritual Power originates from a Succubus, and a Succubus’s Spiritual Power is naturally linked to desire. Therefore, you are stirred by lust.”
“It really is a side effect of Spiritual Power…”
I thought gaining stronger Spiritual Power was a good thing, but it seems it’s not all benefits… And this side effect is just too cruel.
It makes one lecherous… Succubus’s Spiritual Power, huh…
And there’s one more thing I didn’t mention, and that’s the Charm Magic Circle that entered my mind.
I dare say this Magic Circle is also playing a role in my current mental problems.
So, these three factors are causing my current mental state to be extremely chaotic. If I’m not careful, evil thoughts will arise, and even my self…
“Heh heh… there’s no saving him now…”
Dejected, I slumped back onto my bed, hunched over with my hands supporting my forehead, feeling weary.
If this continues, I’ll become a beast worse than an animal, only thinking with my lower body… While I haven’t yet ruined an honest woman…
Upon hearing that there was still a chance, my eyes lit up, and I looked at Yu Hui with hope.
Yu Hui, with a stern expression, told me the method.
“You just need to practice Buddhism.”
You mean… I have to become a monk?!
What kind of joke is this!
I screamed in horror, covering my head.
“I refuse to become a monk!” x Xiao
Even if I go bald, I won’t get stronger!
