The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

A Necromancer’s curse was not a problem at all for the protagonist who had unlocked his undead bloodline. True to its mainstream harem novel roots, the treatment that the protagonist gave the sister in “Mixed Blood” embodied the readers’ and author’s moral integrity:

Why do you want to undress?

To save you.

Why are you kissing me?

To save you.

The body is so cold.

I’ll keep you warm.

When the readers started making comments like “hey, hey, hey,” Yi Ye Zhi Qiu replied: “Come on, this is scientific first aid for hypothermia.”

While Du Ze was remembering the plot of “Mixed Blood,” Violet and Alice were caught in a dilemma. Surrounded by spirits, Violet whispered a few words to Alice, who shook her head violently. Violet seemed to be trying to persuade her but there was a commotion coming from the direction of their escape.

“Jie Jie jie …” a dry laugh echoed through the sea of dead souls, making impossible to pinpoint where the sound came from. “It’s really a sisterhood, but you don’t have to worry about being apart. I won’t anyone let go.”

A ring of Necromantic power appeared and a tall, thin figure in black robes entered the circle.

“I would like to apologize if we offended Your Excellency by inadvertently breaking into your territory.” Violet knew that the undead had a strong territorial instinct. If it wasn’t necessary, she wouldn’t have brought Alice to the sea of undead souls. She tried to negotiate with the undead: “We are the city Lords of Belial City. To cure the blood poison plague that is spreading in our city, we need skull flowers. I promise you, in the name of the Lord Belial, that you will be reimbursed satisfactorily.”

“I know, Jie Jie, of course I know – I did not send my collection of blood poison plague seeds in vain.”

Violet thundered: “It was you!?”

“Of course, honey. If I didn’t send you a gift, how would I get you to come to my place?” The black-robed undead shook with Jie Jie laughter: “Welcome to my territory, baby, I am the Lord here -”

Between the calcium carbide4 flames, Violet’s sword cut off the head of the black robe. Although the robe collapsed and the bones rolled about, that ‘Jie Jie’ laughter did not stop. Violet stared at the robe and pile of bones – the other did not appear in his real body.

Because Du Ze and Xiu’s place is well concealed, the people fighting did not see them. Du Ze’s feelings are complicated. This is like watching a “Mixed Blood” prequel. He and the protagonist arrived just in time to watch as the sister was cursed by the undead mage. Du Ze was in awe of the Great God’s story. In order to let the protagonist execute the “hero saves the beauty” cliche and push down the sister, the background event was being carried out right in front of their eyes. There were no plot holes. The world is really too professional!

So from the time the girls appeared up to now, Du Ze was just repeating in his mind “Watch the plot unfold, watch the protagonist.” He has been waiting for the hero to save the beauty.

Now the sisters were surrounded, but there was no response from Xiu. When the sisters looked like they were going to be taken, Xiu … looked like he was going to fall asleep?

… Protagonist, you are on strike?!

Du Ze cannot help but remind Xiu to follow the script: “Not going to do anything?”

Xiu lifted his head and looked at the scene: “No need.”

Du Ze suddenly realized that there really is no need to save the demon sisters right now. According to the original plot, the demon sisters will be able to escape this time, but one sister will be cursed. When the proper times comes, the protagonist will cure (push down) the sister, so everything will be alright.

His reason told him that was right, but somehow he had a feeling that something was wrong. It was as if a substandard gear had been inserted somewhere in a machine and he couldn’t spot where exactly it went awry. At this time, there is a new change in the script. When Du Ze tried to attract Xiu’s attention he sensed a disharmony in the plot.

– If Du Ze thinks intervention is not needed because of the plot, okay. But why did Xiu say “No need”?

Looking at the demon sisters, Xiu’s purple eyes reflected the girls’ helpless, fragile appearance. Though a rock had been tossed into the water, no ripples were made – the demon girls’ distress didn’t cause any reaction from Xiu.5

Xiu feels he doesn’t need to save them because they don’t have any value to him.
