The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!

Zhu Qing may be a Peak Lord, but in terms of seniority, sleeping with Su Xiaobai was moral suicide.

Bai Yujian's finger twitched slightly, before she pointed—awkwardly—at Su Xiaobai, who was still snoring soundly between Zhu Qing's breasts.

"It's only your disciples."

Zhu Qing's breath caught.

Bai Yujian continued, voice calm but firm.

"Some of them heard and called me for help. I gathered them below. You can deal with them as you wish."

"As long as you tell them not to speak, they wouldn't dare."

Then—

She glanced at Su Xiaobai again.

"Besides… they don't even know about him."

Zhu Qing stiffened.

For a moment—

For a single, glorious, life-saving moment—

She felt like her soul had been pulled back from the gates of hell.

"Oh…" She exhaled deeply, her tensed shoulders loosening slightly. If it was just her own disciples… She could handle that. Her reputation wouldn't be completely shattered.

Bai Yujian, however—Didn't move to leave.

Instead—

She stepped closer. Zhu Qing's spine tensed. But Bai Yujian only sat on the edge of the bed.

Then—

She reached out, touching Zhu Qing's face.

Zhu Qing startled, her first instinct to pull back—

But Bai Yujian's grip was gentle.

Her voice—even softer.

"Qingqing…"

Zhu Qing froze.

Bai Yujian's gaze searched hers, expression complicated.

"What happened to you?"

Zhu Qing's throat tightened.

Bai Yujian's fingers brushed against her cheek, her voice dipping lower.

"Just yesterday, before leaving my residence, you told me you wanted to keep your distance from him."

A pause.

Her eyes darkened, flickering between Zhu Qing and Su Xiaobai.

"You said you didn't want to accidentally wake up in his bed."

The words slapped.

Sharp. Heavy. Undeniable.

Zhu Qing's fingertips dug into the ruined sheets. Because Bai Yujian was right. She did say that. And now? Now, she was naked, trapped beneath a snoring Su Xiaobai, with her own moans having echoed through the night for half the sect to hear.

What…What the hell happened?

Zhu Qing pressed her lips together, unable to meet Bai Yujian's gaze. Bai Yujian's expression didn't shift. But her voice did. It was no longer strict.

No longer cold. It was…

Concerned.

"I was angry at first, Qingqing."

Her eyes softened.

"Angry at him. But more than that… I was worried about you."

She hesitated.

Then—

"This isn't like you."

And she meant it.

This wasn't the fearsome, cunning, untouchable Zhu Qing she had known for years.

This was something else.

Something even Zhu Qing herself didn't understand.

"..."

Facing Bai Yujian's honest words, Zhu Qing felt cornered.

She had no way out.

Bai Yujian, however—

For her, this was a strange situation.

Zhu Qing wasn't just a Peak Lord.

She was someone Bai Yujian had brought into the sect, someone she had watched grow.

If not for Zhu Qing's deep-seated distaste for blood, she would have been her personal disciple.

Bai Yujian's gaze softened slightly, recalling the past.

The Trial of Shadows.

The one in their sect was merely a toned-down version—a test of survival, filled with illusions and constructs.

But in the Dark Sparrow Sect, where Zhu Qing came from—

The people were real.

Completing the trial meant killing the only close people to her.

And she did.

It left a scar—one that never truly faded.

A deep-rooted, unshakable distaste for blood.

Instead of walking the bloody path of swords, Zhu Qing had chosen formations.

And she mastered them.

Before her, the sect had no proper formation master. She was the first. With no teacher. No guidance. Only her own determination.

Bai Yujian had watched her struggles firsthand.

And she admired her for it.

If things had played out differently, if Zhu Qing had broken through before Zhao Tianxuan—

It would be her, not him, standing at the threshold of Sect Master.

And now—

Zhu Qing, the unyielding, untouchable Peak Lord—

Had ended up in Su Xiaobai's bed.

Bai Yujian's eyes flickered to the sleeping man.

Su Xiaobai.

She hadn't spent much time with him—

But she knew.

By all standards, this man was unnatural.

Mysterious. Monstrous.

If nothing went wrong, he would reach Great Ascension Realm within the next two centuries.

And this time—

He was her personal disciple.

Her disciple.

Zhu Qing's former junior.

Both had ended up with each other.

Generations apart.

A thousand years ago, if someone had brought this to Bai Yujian's attention—

She would have immediately rejected it.

Would have said it was against the rules.

Would have said it was dangerous.

Because the rules were created for a reason.

Senior masters getting into relationships with disciples or juniors never ended well.

Because one day, the master would ascend.

And the junior—

The junior would be left behind.

A difference in lifespan.

A difference in realm.

A difference in destiny.

A master's heart would become shackled.

And in time—

That heart demon would destroy them both.

But this time—

This time, Bai Yujian wasn't so sure.

Because Su Xiaobai…

Su Xiaobai wouldn't be left behind.

If anything—

He would be the one to surpass them all.

The real question was—

What was wrong with Zhu Qing?

_____

Zhu Qing bit her lip, lowering her gaze.

She didn't hesitate.

Didn't try to hide it. She explained everything. Meanwhile— Su Xiaobai, blissfully snoring, had no idea that his actions were being exposed in full detail.

He had assumed Zhu Qing would keep quiet. Would hide what happened. Would never share it with Bai Yujian.

He was wrong.

Zhu Qing's voice softened.

"Elder… He came to me with so much hope." She hesitated, "I wasn't able to deny him…"

Bai Yujian's eyes narrowed.

Zhu Qing bit her lower lip harder.

It was true. When she heard that he needed a woman to break through, her first thought had been—Isn't she a woman?

A maiden on top of it.

If it could help him ascend, then what was the issue? He had helped her break through to Great Ascension Realm. For a long time, she had felt indebted to him.

She had wanted to return the favor.

Bai Yujian watched her silently.

Her lips curved faintly, but her eyes remained sharp.

She smiled.

But behind that smile—

Suspicion flickered.

"I wasn't able to deny him…"

That was not a phrase she expected from Zhu Qing.

Not from the woman who had once slaughtered her past to move forward. Not from the woman who had pushed aside every weakness. Not from the woman who had never needed anyone.

Bai Yujian said nothing.

But in her heart—

A small seed of doubt had already been planted.

But Zhu Qing misunderstood Bai Yujian's expression, thinking she was unconvinced.

So she continued.

"Think about it, Elder."

Her voice carried a rare excitement.

"His ability is unnatural. If he had been born into an emperor's bloodline, raised in an imperial household, he would've shattered every record." Zhu Qing's eyes gleamed. "He would be the youngest Immortal in the history of Rain Immortal Valley."

Bai Yujian's gaze flickered.

She couldn't deny it. Being able to absorb Yin Qi? It was a broken ability, even with its many limitations.

Yes, he needed time to stabilize after breakthroughs. Yes, he couldn't rush his ascension too quickly.

But—

If he had been born as the prince of an imperial dynasty… He would have a supply of women at his feet.

Cultivation, at that point, would become a matter of resources, not effort. A strange realization struck Bai Yujian.

Her eyes gleamed.

If he can cross realms this quickly… Then what happens if he absorbs the Primordial Essence of a Human Immortal?

Her fingers clenched slightly. If he obtained that— He could skip past Spirit Severing Realm entirely.

He could forge his 'True Spirit' before anyone else.

He could ascend faster than any prodigy in history.

A quiet determination settled in her heart.

She needed to break through soon. She needed to reach Human Immortal Realm first.

Because if her disciple's growth outpaced her own…She wouldn't be his master anymore. She would be left behind.

Her cheeks warmed—a rare thing. Her thoughts were gradually veering into dangerous territory.

It was… a matter of benefits.

After breaking through, her Yin Essence would transform, reaching an unimaginable purity. The kind that would grant far greater benefits than anything he could obtain from her now.

Bai Yujian's lips parted slightly, then pressed into a thin line. She banished the thought immediately. It was far too early for such considerations.

But—

Her fingers tensed slightly at her side.

The idea had already taken root.

____

Zhu Qing, however, didn't notice Bai Yujian's thoughts at all. She only sighed, glancing at Su Xiaobai's sleeping form.

"Let him stabilize first." Bai Yujian's voice was firm. "And don't force him to break through again." Her eyes narrowed. "He's not an experimental rat for you. Let him earn it."

Zhu Qing blinked.

"Huh? I didn't even—"

Before she could even explain, Bai Yujian had already turned away.

And she wasn't wrong.

Su Xiaobai had just stepped into Earthly Rebirth Realm.

Barely had time to stabilize. Now, he had already pushed into Nascent Soul Realm.

For any normal cultivator, this would've been suicide. If not for his Infernal Emperor's Legacy, his foundation would have collapsed entirely.

But Zhu Qing's words had awakened a dangerous idea inside Bai Yujian.

So what if Su Xiaobai wasn't born in an emperor's household?

She was still here.

If he needed women from each peak to accelerate his growth? Then he could take them.

All the female Elders of Sword Peak? Each of them at Deity Transformation Realm?

He could have them. Bai Yujian, previously, would have never even considered this thought.

But now—

Now she wasn't so sure.

Because Su Xiaobai was different.

The youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect's history.

Probably the youngest in the entire country.

From being a late-starting Qi Condensation nobody— To a once-in-a-lifetime monster.

Even Bai Yujian was struggling to process how fast this was happening.

Let alone the rest of the sect.

And once the news spread…

The other sects would come.

They would try to recruit him.

And if they offered better benefits than she could…

There would be no reason for him to stay.

It wasn't just about sect rules anymore.

It wasn't just about personal attachments.

Su Xiaobai was outgrowing the sect itself.

And Bai Yujian wasn't going to let that happen.

Without waiting for Zhu Qing's response, she left.

She stepped out, overlooking the nervous disciples gathered below.

Their eyes widened in fear as she descended.

And her voice, cold and ethereal, echoed through the morning air.

"No one speaks of what happened today."

She paused.

"Not to the other peaks."

"Not to the elders."

"Not to anyone."

A quiet depression settled over the crowd.

The disciples bowed, terrified.

And Bai Yujian knew they wouldn't dare disobey. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

But this? This was only a temporary fix.

Because the truth was—

The sect was already changing.

Rules that had stood unshaken for centuries…

Were being broken.

And the falling sect, once teetering on decline…

Had seen a spark of hope.

But little did they know—

This was only the calm before the storm.
