I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

The lunch was a feast. Ye Yong couldn’t find anything wrong with the smell, taste, or visual appeal of the food. He felt as if he was a king. There was delicious food, delicious wine, and delicious women. It was easier to lose one’s mind to this than to the dancing of the painting beauties.

The female disciples took turns dancing and singing. The beautiful poses, combined with the marvelous dance moves, were overwhelmingly captivating.

This is what living is! The male lead’s life is just cultivating, face-slapping, killing and taking treasures, encountering fortunes, enhancing cultivation level, rinse and repeat. What kind of living is that? Life is so beautiful, but he doesn’t have a chance to appreciate all of the things in life. How boring is that? This is so much better than the type of life the male lead is living.

Every once in a while, Ye Yong would clap for the female cultivators who were dancing and singing. He even took out his flute to play romantic tunes, and a few female cultivators also took out their own musical instruments and played along with Ye Yong. What was originally meant to be a simple feast has now become a concert.

Perhaps it was because Ye Yong’s music comprehension was comparable to that of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but a few senior disciples broke through on the spot as he was playing the flute, making the atmosphere even more festive and joyful than it already was.

“Mmm..” There was, however, one person present who didn’t feel joyful- Wu Xue. She grew up with a weak and sickly body, so she was only accompanied by books. Singing and dancing? She hadn’t learned them at all, so she could only clench her fists as she watched Ye Yong perform with the females. She turned the sourness in her heart into energy to eat, concentrating on the food.

This was a cultivation world, so the food wasn’t ordinary. While they might be worthless to most cultivators, it was extremely valuable delicacies to mortals, with every bite being able to increase their lifespans and make them healthier.

After all, the spiritual meat and the seasoning made from spiritual plants were beneficial to even immortal and martial cultivators with low cultivation, not to mention mortals.

As Wu Xue ate, she ate more and more vigorously, eating enough to fill the stomachs of multiple young adult mortals despite her small size.

All in all, everyone was pretty happy and in high spirits. As they were music and art cultivators, the music and singing continued throughout the night.

In the end, Wu Xue put aside her prejudice against the female cultivators and appreciated them and their performance. Under their invitation, Wu Xue joined the dancing, and having a divine physique, her physical body and coordination were far superior to when she had a weak and sickly body, and she danced quite well. As she danced, Wu Xue even wanted to cry a little. I can only be like this now because of Young Master. If Young Master didn’t exist, then the me of today wouldn’t exist, either.

‘Favorability +8.’

Ye Yong had recently turned on the favorability notifications and would receive a system notification every time there was a change in favorability rating. He was confused. Qin Shi Meng and Liang Xiao Rou aren’t here, so it can’t be them. I haven’t seen Mu Qing Yin either, so she’s not on the favorability rating list, so it can’t be her, either.

It was only when he checked the favorability ratings that he realized Wu Xue’s favorability had risen again.

Ye Yong couldn’t understand why. Previously, Wu Xue’s favorability would only increase when he flirted with her, but now, he was just enjoying life and playing his flute and hadn’t even really been interacting with Wu Xue. So lil cutie Wu Xue can self-capture? What a treasure! Ye Yong looked at Wu Xue more gently and lovingly.

Ye Yong now had a whopping 300,000 transcend points. Who else can get such a huge amount of system currency in a system novel when the novel just started? Most of this is due to Wu Xue. Of course, Qin Shi Meng also made large contributions. Her favorability increases slowly, but she gives a lot of transcend points each time.

Two days ago, when Ye Yong showed off his music and art skills, Qin Shi Meng’s favorability had increased by a bit and became 63, with her attitude being [Good Friend I Want to Know More About]. Liang Xiao Rou, who just recently got added to the favorability rating list had a favorability rating of 26, with her attitude being [Extremely Curious].

Looks like I’ll have to show off more in crowded and popular places when I have time, Ye Yong sighed, using 10,000 transcend points to buy 8 Earth-grade cultivation arts.

Ye Yong wasn’t concerned with having too many cultivation arts as he had the idle cultivating system, which meant that he didn’t have to waste time or energy learning the cultivation arts on his own, just like how he didn’t have to worry about Wu Xue as she helped Ye Yong capture herself.

I now have 38 mystery-grade battle arts, 8 earth-grade battle arts, and 3 heaven-grade battle arts. Except for those whose cultivations way surpasses mine, who can fight me? Except for the male lead, that is. That guy is even more absurd than the male lead and can’t be killed at all.

Well, Ye Yong didn’t wasn’t going to kill the male lead or anything. He had thought about it for a while and realized that the male lead had to be in the novel. Even though this was the real world and minor details could change, major events would still happen, so the Long Tian needed to be there to resolve things. Ye Yong didn’t have the confidence to do it as he wasn’t the male lead and didn’t have “divine protection”. If he died, then he died. Heaven wouldn’t care.

As such, even though Ye Yong was currently living an amazing life and had a lot of transcend points, he wouldn’t let his guard down. After all, most villains lost to the male lead and died because they had such good and smooth lives that they thought they were invincible.

…

A celebration that never ended did not exist. Even if everyone present were cultivators, they would still be tired after dancing and playing music for a whole day. But everyone was indeed happy.

Including the hall master who wasn’t present at the feast.

This was Echo Mountain, and Mu Qing Yin, who had the hall master token, could sense every part of Echo Mountain with her divine sense. She had known about the celebration the moment the disciples of the Music and Art Hall decided to hold it, so she had been observing it the whole time.

Ye Yong had surpassed her expectations. A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with a comprehension of music that rivals that of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is truly exceptionally talented.

The way Ye Yong had behaved during the celebration also satisfied Mu Qing Yin. Even though some dancing female disciples deliberately came over to him and flirted with him, he didn’t make any moves and just showed a shy expression. In contrast, the female disciples were all acting like they were males going after a beautiful lady, which caused her some headaches.

However, there were quite a few disciples who broke through during the celebration, including Yi Bai, who had been stuck at a bottleneck for decades, so Mu Qing Yin didn’t intend to interfere much. She also wasn’t against Ye Yong joining the Music and Art Hall, but she was going to keep observing him. So many despicable people in novels laid low and only revealed their fangs at the last moment. Maybe this Ye Yong is the same. Who knows? Even he himself said that the Shura Dragon King was able to lay low for 3 whole years as a failure son-in-law.

Although Mu Qing Yin could use her divine soul power to influence Ye Yong to reveal his true nature, she didn’t want to do that. If it turns out that he isn’t that sort of person, wouldn’t it break his heart and hurt the relationship between a disciple and a master?

Mu Qing Yin might be a shut-in, but she wasn’t a Karen. Instead, she was very meticulous and put a lot of thought and consideration into things. I’ll be able to learn what kind of person Ye Yong is as time passes. I can start with Hua Ming and Hua Xin to learn more about Ye Yong.
