Chapter 6 – Reader / Protagonist: “MUA1”

The spirit beast (the Resurrection Stone) has been scared away … What else can save you, my protagonist?

Seeing the reaction of the beast, Du Ze was one hundred percent sure that the cat would not actively appear again. As for chasing and capturing it, the reader, who had never experienced any hardships and is the indoors type of person, would never be able to run fast enough to catch up with the cat. Seeing that the protagonist is slowly becoming weaker, Du Ze desperately tries to recall the details of “Mixed Blood” in order to find a viable way to save the protagonist.

“Mixed Blood” did not elaborate on how the Protagonist was saved by the spirit beast in the lost land. The protagonist just opened his eyes, fully resurrected. For a reader who is attempting to replace the spirit beast and save the protagonist, this truth is very cruel! Asking the author for a detailed treatment process, ah! If the main character was in human form, Du Ze would able to help since he knows a little bit of CPR. But doing CPR for that skeleton, won’t the oxygen just leak through the skeleton’s bones … wait a minute! Du Ze suddenly realized that, although “Mixed Blood” does not describe how the hero’s life was saved now, a later part of the story does give details!

Further in the “Mixed Blood” story, the protagonist will meet a very strong enemy. He was forced to use the Lich form to escape. At that time, the spirit beast was not beside the protagonist. The protagonist did not die, but he was extremely weakened. Being closely pursued by the enemy, a sister2 sacrificed her own soul to help the hero recover. When the battle was over, the protagonist hugged the sister’s body and decided to conquer the Angel Kingdom because he heard that the Angel Race is able to resurrect the dead…

That sister is the one whom Du Ze likes the most (after the protagonist) in “Mixed Blood” because she is the only one who treats the protagonist well from the beginning. Although Saint Vivian, under the writer’s pen, is the main harem member, Du Ze always insists that this sister is the real female protagonist.

To sum it up, the process of sacrificing the soul to the protagonist in order to restore his Lich body is described by Ye Zhi Qiu in detail. The procedure is very simple.

Quest: Rescue the Male Lead; The savior: the Female Lead

Action needed: Treatment.

A: … What else to do but, of course, kiss! Considering the author’s style and the expectations of the readers, it’s a great excuse for creating an intimate scene. The sexier and spicier it is, the better! Even though healing and rolling around on the bed clearly have no relationship to each other in reality…

Du Ze now feels fortunate that Ye Zhi Qiu only wrote a chaste kiss, though at that time he read it, he almost flipped his keyboard in frustration; that was too pure!

The method has been found. Moreover, Du Ze has one advantage over that sister: with the ability to “reset at midnight,” he will not die like that sister. In the content of the original story, the sister did not have a soul that can be reset, but if Du Ze was left with half a soul, he will be able to recover.

First, feed half of his soul to the protagonist, then give him the other half after his soul resets at midnight. This is the natural renewable energy of the new century … this is too much!

The important issue now is how to overcome the psychological barrier of having intimate contact with a fleshless skeleton.

Actually, in “Mixed Blood,” the protagonist’s undead form is not a lowly bone skeleton like this. His true form is a powerful Lich. Even though it is undead, it still has the lively figure of man with flesh and blood. Liches will hide their life box somewhere safe, and as long as it is safe they are not afraid to of being destroyed. No matter how many times they die, they can be reborn. This is the eternal immortality of the Lich. After awakening the blood of the undead, the protagonist has yet to hide his life box when the Temple of Light staked him, so he reluctantly maintained this skeletal shape and was chased by the entire mainland with no way to escape.

To kiss the skeleton version and to kiss the Lich version of the protagonist … the difference is big. Du Ze was comforted immediately3, the only problem was that he had a shadow in his heart. In the crook of his elbow is the doujinshi. In that book there is a chapter where the protagonist (in Lich form) and his enemy do the deed4.

reluctant du ze

Du Ze is reluctant because of the shadow in his heart. Meaning, he read the doujinshi that had some xxx scenes (pictured) which he can’t help but think about

Xiu is silently lying at the base of the statue. Although the soul flames in his eye sockets are almost dead, he still has some consciousness. So Xiu saw when the man that was impassively staring at him started to slowly walk towards him.

Does he want to kill me?

The desperate skeleton used all his strength to stand up, but his body was almost dead, unresponsive.

He does not want to die …

Xiu looked at the man in despair as the other squatted down beside him. That man took off his glasses. A pair of pure black eyes were unveiled. Deep inside those eyes there was a strange resolution. Xiu felt like he was being sucked into those eyes. The dark eyes were like the depths of a dark lake, ice-cold, and reflected on the surface was a white skeleton – that was him.

A terrible skeleton. Evil. Terrifying.

Xiu was pained but was unable to look away. His body no longer obeyed him. The reflected image grew larger and larger as the man moved closer to him until there was only small gap between them. Then the man’s eyelids moved down, his lashes covered the darkness and Xiu’s pale mirror image. Xiu was still in a trance as the owner of the black eyes kissed him.

– That person is kissing an undead skeleton.

Du Ze felt that looking at the skeleton was too big a challenge for his weak heart. With his near-sightedness, removing his glasses blurred the image into two black circles on a white patch, but he still decided to close his eyes. Based on the description in “Mixed Blood” he tried to imagine a flame igniting in his brain5. Can this unrealistic process really be successful?

Suddenly, the flames of the soul really did appear. The materialistic earthman Du Ze’s worldview was instantly shattered6.

Transmitting the soul energy to the protagonist through the mouth – the way it was described in “Mixed Blood” – was really difficult for Du Ze. The reader had to disregard his years of YY novel reading to reject the idea of a superfluous, unnecessarily passionate kissing scene. He kept the kiss pure and chaste.7 Author, why did you write the scene to be so romantic?!

Du Ze used the tip of his tongue to pry open the mouth of the skeleton. At that moment, Du Ze felt like he was licking an iceberg. His tongue was cold and felt like it was stuck on ice. At first, Du Ze led the way, but after the skeleton had experienced the sweetness, he began to take the initiative to suck on that delicious thing. The undead’s tongue twined around Du Ze’s soft, warm, tongue, instinctively and greedily absorbing the soul energy.

As the undead’s soul was renewed, the faint blue soul flames inside the skeleton’s eye sockets slowly become stronger. At the same time, spots of light appear around the skeleton’s limbs. That was the Temple of Light’s nails in the protagonist’s body. The nails that were exposed to the air immediately turned into small bright spots and dissipated.

kissing scene

Kissing.

Du Ze could feel the numbness at the tip of his tongue. Not knowing whether it is frozen or entangled, he cannot help but want to take it back and scrape it with his teeth. Realizing his intention, the skeleton entangled his tongue more forcefully, refusing to let go of this delicacy. Du Ze discovered that the speed of his soul energy being absorbed became faster and faster … too fast! At this rate, he will not be able to hold up till midnight to Reset his soul.

Since his tongue was tightly entangled, Du Ze could only reach out to try to push the other away. However, the skeleton was having none of it and tightly embraced Du Ze. The skeletal right hand grabbed Du Ze by the back of the head, forcing him closer. It seemed as though Xiu wanted to stuff the body that was exhaling the sweet breath into his empty rib cage, locked away with no chance to escape.

Beneath the statue, a skeleton in a robe was kissing the black-haired young man on his lap. Two black and white shadows, interwoven with a myriad of bright spots, create an evil but beautiful scene. In this beautiful scene, the reader’s suffering was difficult to imagine. He opened his eyes wide, wanting the protagonist to read his mind. Usually the novels said that XXX looked YYY in the eyes, read his mind, and understood YYY.

However, Xiu’s only response was to more hungrily suck his energy.

– Damn, this protagonist, why doesn’t he activate the skill “read the emotion from the eyes”?!

Du Ze’s own eyes probably look mournful. His vision blurry, Du Ze saw the blue soul fire leap in the black spot in front of his eyes.

[… Who are you?]

Du Ze blinked for a moment before realizing that the voice that was directly in his head belonged to the protagonist. Well, the protagonist was finally willing to communicate with him, and it seems as though there is no language barrier. But the important thing is … Du Ze did not know to respond, ah! Seeking the method to speak mind to mind! QAQ

The suffering reader can only use his hand to try to push the protagonist away again, expressing his intense desire to be released.

But Xiu was silent, then hugged Du Ze tighter.

[- Do you regret it? Regret saving an evil spirit?]

No, stop kissing – please slow down a bit! In fact, this one is a renewable resource. If you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, this will not help the sustainable development of this youth!

@The Protagonist: Internal chat … System error, communication failure.

[It is too late to regret.] The blue soul fire in the deep eye sockets gave a gentle illusion; the pale skull seemed to grin: [You can rest.]

As a kid, everyone would have heard the story “The Farmer and the Snake2,” now Du Ze is in that situation!

Knowing that the protagonist had blackened, yet Du Ze still recklessly went to him to be abused! Now the protagonist has made it clear that he wants Du Ze to sacrifice himself so that Xiu can dominate the world. The villain planned to kill him, even saying the classic line, “You did a great job, now rest!” WTF!

Also, why is it that when Du Ze realized that the protagonist desired to eat his soul in one sitting, his first reaction was to think it was too wasteful? Are you really not going to think about it? After midnight, you can have one more bottle of purple medicine. WTF! His mind must have broken up somewhere!

Du Ze tried to cut off the outpouring of his soul energy, but he is not able to stop Xiu. As his soul slipped away, Du Ze felt his body becoming empty. This unreal emptiness made Du Ze feel like there is a big hole in his body, allowing a cold wind to blow through him from head to toe – the cold wind of death. The cold froze his body into numbness: first his feet, then the legs, the torso … and finally, the head.

– If his autobiography was published, the title would definitely be “Blackened Fan: A Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure”3 The content of the book would be: He had it coming!4

This was Du Ze’s last thought before losing consciousness.

Xiu embraces Du Ze tightly.

Xiu arranged Ariel’s body. The girl’s face was still the same as usual. Her eyes were closed as if she were having a sweet dream – a dream of eternal death.

Xiu calmly combed her hair with his fingers while in the distance, Enoch and the others did not dare to approach. It was not until he finished arranging Ariel’s hair that he leaned down, as if to wish the young woman a good night’s sleep.

“You did well. Have a good rest, my princess. ”

– Wait for me to save you.

The Lich in the black robes put the young woman in a crystal coffin and then quietly left, no longer interested in staying. Eric, who had been transformed into a Death Knight, sluggishly followed, no longer having any trace of ambition or enthusiasm like in the old days.

Xiu looked up at the distant sky, eyes dark with ambition.

I heard… there is a city in the sky?
