Chapter 1 The Scheming Disciple and the Charming Master 1

Chapter 1: The Black-Bellied Disciple and His Beautiful Master

"Master, open your eyes and watch how your disciple attends to you."

"Master looks so beautiful today, but unfortunately, you cannot see it yourself."

"Your disciple does all this because I've been in love with you for a long time... If you are unwilling, after it's done, I'll kill myself to atone!"

Lin Huaiqing, deep in sleep, only felt that there was a racket in his ears, as if a voice kept echoing in his head.

It was so noisy he couldn't get back to sleep.

Everything before his eyes was dark. Lin Huaiqing forced his eyes open, only to find it was still pitch black.

"Junior brother, you're awake?! Thank goodness, you've finally woken up. Come, take a look—this is the spirit-suppressing stone you brought back from your journey. The cultivation world is finally saved!"

A strange man's voice suddenly came from beside him, giving Lin Huaiqing a fright. Everything around him was dark, and he had no idea anyone else was there.

This person must be his senior brother, and he was telling him to look at some stone? It was pitch black—how the hell was he supposed to see it?

"Senior brother, I'm fine. Just light the lamp first..."

"Huh? Why would I light a lamp in the middle of the day..."

The man rushed over, and a pair of big, warm hands gently tilted his chin up.

"Junior brother... you... your eyes?! I'll go get Junior Sister Lu right now—wait here!"

Lin Huaiqing was left alone in the room, completely stunned.

This was bad! Really bad! His senior brother's reaction was off. Was it possible he'd gone blind?!

"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, you've successfully bound to the 'Little Cripple Wants Love Too' system. Current world progress: 8%. Please confirm your bound character:"

"Name: Lin Huaiqing, Gender: Male, Height: 179cm, Weight: 69kg, Identity: the world's number one Sword Venerable, an Elder of the Xuantian Sect, Cultivation level: Late Nascent Soul, Aptitude: Water-element Heavenly Spirit Root..."

"What?! A cripple scenario?! Nobody told me about this before I came in!"

"That's right! From now on, in every world, the host will have different parts of the body disabled to varying degrees."

"This world is visual impairment. Others include limb disabilities, speech disabilities, mental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and so on..."

"What?! Int... intellectual disability! What the hell kind of system is this! I want out!"

"Sorry, dear! Exiting now will incur a penalty fee! Besides, clearing the 'Little Cripple Wants Love Too' instance gives three times the progress of other systems! Are you sure you want to abandon this world?"

Lin Huaiqing quickly changed his tune.

"Well, I guess I can stay bound a little longer!"

He was a professional quick transmigrator, hopping between worlds to complete tasks and earn commissions.

He'd arrived in this world half a month ago. Back then, he could still see...

Everything had been going smoothly. Following the system's instructions, he'd just gotten the spirit-suppressing stone when his foot slipped and he tumbled into the miasma abyss.

He thought he was going to die, but the system told him he'd triggered a main quest: find a little boy in the miasma abyss and get him out of there.

There wasn't a single ray of light in the abyss, and demonic energy ran rampant. Any ordinary cultivator would've died there long ago.

Fortunately, this body was strong enough. He used fireball techniques to light his way and finally found a grimy little boy among a pile of bones.

Every second spent in that godforsaken place made him feel like his soul was melting from the sheer heat. He had no clue how the kid had survived.

Without a second thought, he grabbed the kid and left, but the boy didn't seem grateful and even bit him on the way out.

It didn't hurt—just tickled a bit, like being nipped by a kitten.

Getting the spirit-suppressing stone had already used up most of his spiritual power.

Then falling into the miasma abyss—crawling out alive was already a miracle, especially with a kid on his back.

He didn't remember what happened after that. When he woke up, he was blind...

Blind's blind, I guess, but as long as I can earn three times the commission, it's worth it!

"Senior brother! Look at my finger—what number is this?" A girl's silvery voice rang out beside his ear.

Lin Huaiqing: "..."

Judging by the voice, the person saying such idiotic things in front of him must be his junior sister. He'd only caught a quick glimpse of her before setting out to find the spirit-suppressing stone.

She looked innocent and cute—totally his type—but unfortunately not too bright.

"Oh no, Big Senior Brother, Senior Brother Lin really went blind. It must be caused by the toxic miasma in the abyss."

"Is there any chance his sight will come back?"

Lu Yanyan shook her head. "Unless Master comes out of seclusion, there's no other way..."

The previous Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect, the one they called Master, had been in closed-door cultivation for fifty years, vowing not to come out until ascension. Unless he ascended one day, they'd probably never see him again.

Lin Huaiqing was well aware of that.

His eyes probably weren't going to recover. He might as well focus on finishing the mission.

Following the system's instructions, he kept the kid by his side. Once the boy grew up and became the supreme ruler of the cultivation world, he could retire with success.

That's right—the kid he'd risked his life to drag out of the miasma abyss was the male lead, who hadn't grown up yet.

The male lead of this world was gifted from a young age—a once-in-a-millennium prodigy of the cultivation world, righteous and devoted to the Dao.

Truly a model of righteousness, a genius of the cultivation world.

That said, the task in this world wasn't hard. Let the male lead grow up safe and sound, wipe out the demon race in one fell swoop, and unify the cultivation world. Then he could ascend to become a Supreme Immortal and leave this world.

After giving its instructions, the system hurried off, saying that other worlds under its management were in big trouble and needed urgent attention.

Even without the system's help, raising a kid was basically no challenge for a gifted blind man like him.

Blind, whatever, all blind—being blind has its perks.

"Senior brother, junior sister, don't worry about me. By the way, where's the kid I brought back from the endless abyss?"

He'd just managed to fumble his way up from the bed when Chu Xiuyuan shoved him back down.

"Junior brother! You're in this state! Why worry about that kid? Lie down first! I'll find a way to restore your sight, I promise!"

Lu Yanyan chimed in from the side:

"Yeah, Brother Lin, I went to check on that kid—he's only got some scrapes. But by the way, where did you find him? Is the world really so crazy now that you can just pick up kids off the street?"

"..."

Lin Huaiqing kept his guard up on purpose.

This world's male lead was exceptionally gifted, able to survive even in the Endless Abyss. But if he were to reveal that, others might get suspicious.

After all, that place was thick with demonic energy—if an ordinary child had fallen in, they would have been instantly reduced to a pile of bones.

To keep anyone from questioning the young male lead's identity, Lin Huaiqing chose to spin a lie.

"While I was out looking for the spirit-suppressing stone, I passed through a village that had just been attacked by demons. Everyone was dead, except for one little kid. I felt sorry for him, so I brought him back."

His ability to lie without batting an eye was something he'd honed over time.

"From now on, he's my personal disciple."

Chu Xiuyuan said, sounding worried:

"But Brother Lin, your eyes... you need someone to look after you. A little kid probably can't take care of you properly, right?"

"It's fine! I trust him!"

After all, if the male lead of this world couldn't handle even such a small matter, how could he ever support the entire cultivation world in the future?

The Lingxiao Peak, where the original owner resided, was usually very peaceful. The original owner preferred solitude and had never taken on any disciples. There wasn't even a servant around.

After Chu Xiuyuan and Lu Yanyan left, Lin Huaiqing decided to go meet the young male lead of this world.
