Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem

Yes and no.
Luo Wusheng really wanted to answer like this but was afraid of being harmed in various ways.

Then his brain quickly turned to think about the meaning behind the other party’s words. Following that, he felt his heart skip a beat.
Didn’t the other party had just mentioned that the Sword Ancestor personally cut off their head? Doesn’t that mean they were a figure from the same era as the founder of the Sword Sect?
Being a contemporary of the founder of the Sword Sect, belonging to an almost ancient era? What cultivation level would they be after living until this era?

Luo Wusheng swallowed hard.
But according to his words, why would he let the Sword Ancestor cut off his head? It couldn’t be because the head had its own ideas, leading to internal conflicts between the body and the head?
As for the current question from the other party…

“Luo Lang, what is a Dao Companion?”
The little girl hiding behind Luo Wusheng whispered a question.
Being in the back and with Luo Wusheng’s almost perfect protection, she was still somewhat slow to react, not entirely understanding what had happened before.

Originally, upon seeing the sudden appearance of the hand, she quickly thought that it was the culprit who harmed Luo Wusheng. However, as Luo Wusheng recovered after the hand appeared and was now engaging in conversation with the golden hand, she was a bit puzzled.
However, what she didn’t notice was that while Luo Wusheng was conversing with the other side, he still firmly kept her protected behind him, ready to mobilize his limited recovered spiritual energy at any moment.
Upon hearing the girl’s words, Luo Wusheng was slightly stunned.

Why does he feel that this girl’s lack of knowledge about love and others relate to that is particularly high when she is in this state?
“Well…. it’s probably when two people stay together all the time, practice together, and, you know, get closer—”
Before he could finish his message, the girl raised her hand high with excitement.

“I want to be Dao Companion with Luo Lang!”
At that moment, Luo Wusheng suddenly felt that the gaze from the eyes on the golden palm across from them became somewhat strange.
Well… considering how she behaved previously after coming back from her stupid state, her face after going back to normal would probably be hilarious, he began to look forward to it.

After thinking all of these inside his mind, Luo Wusheng cleared his throat, intending to answer the Buddha statue’s question. However, he saw the golden hand on the opposite side closing its eyes as if contemplating. When it opened them again, the eyes lit up.
【Good!】
The mouth on the palm slightly lifted, 【The Sword Ancestor once cut off my head at my request. I accepted this favor and promised to pass on something to his successor, Now, it seems that the time to fulfill that agreement has come.】
?

Upon hearing the other paty word, Luo Wusheng frowned with confusion.
Weren’t they just talking about being Dao Companion a moment ago? Why did the topic suddenly come back to this?
‘But judging from the words, it seems like he does have some history with the Sword Ancestor, and their history shouldn’t be a bad one. But then, why did he say ‘yes and no’ when answering the previous question?’

As Luo Wusheng contemplated, he saw the Sword Ancestor’s wooden sword, which had been in the Buddha statue’s hand, suddenly shimmering with radiance. Then, in a flash, it returned to its owner’s hand.
Following that, Little Yuli, holding the Sword Ancestor’s wooden sword, showed a trace of confusion in her eyes.
Luo Wusheng frowned and quickly checked the girl’s condition. Afterward, his expression relaxed slightly.

‘Since Yuli is in a meditative state, does it mean that it’s an inheritance related to magical techniques or memories?’
‘Speaking of which, since it was something left by the Sword Ancestor to Little Yuli, normally speaking, Little Yuli should also have obtained this item in the original work— In other words, this is actually one of the secret place that Little Yuli will open later in the original work? Then there won’t be any surprises if she accepts the inheritance now, right?’
‘But still, I wonder what the content of this inheritance will be…’

【Although I don’t know the specifics, I’ve heard that it’s a secret technique the Sword Ancestor never revealed to anyone during his lifetime. Even the person who handed it over to me was extremely cautious and gave me many admonitions…】
Seeming to have sensed Luo Wusheng’s thoughts, the mouth on the palm slowly spoke, with a touch of reminiscence in its eyes.
Then, looking at the girl who had already entered into a meditative state to receive the inheritance, he smiled with some relief.

After countless years, he finally fulfilled the debt he owed, and his Dao heart was also satisfied to some extent.
Though, this Sword Ancestor’s successor didn’t seem too bright…
The eye on the palm pondered for a moment, then looked at Luo Wusheng and cleared its throat, saying, 【Ahem, just now, after being stimulated and awakening, I couldn’t accurately judge the outside world for a while. I almost caused trouble for you all—】

【So, what do you need? As compensation, I will fulfill your wishes】
Luo Wusheng was momentarily stunned.
This ancient figure… unexpectedly easy to talk to? And also somewhat concerned about his reputation?

Offering to grant wishes as compensation directly?
‘Perhaps it’s because I just protected Little Yuli, preventing her from harboring resentment toward him— The stimulation he mentioned might be related to the rat Netherkin’s Buddhist spirit he swallowed? Well, it seems he still cares about his relationship with the Buddhist sect…’
Wanting world peace… probably won’t work. The other party’s own condition is a bit abnormal, so he probably won’t be able to fulfill such a grand wish.

“How about making me unbeatable overnight?”
Luo Wusheng’s probing words caused a faint twitch at the corner of the mouth on the palm.
The lone eye in the palm silently looked at Luo Wusheng, remaining speechless for a moment.

“Then, how about turning me into a Peak Tribulation Crossing cultivator? Or if you can’t, how about Into the Peak of Nascent Soul?”
【… I do have a corresponding method that can do the last one, if you’re not afraid of facing the tribulation lightning no less stronger than the one a Peak Tribulation Crossing Cultivator would need to face before ascending, I can give it to you】
The tribulation that the mouth is talking about is something that the world calls as Immortal Tribulation, it’s different from the ordinary Tribulation Lightning, it’s hundred times stronger than the normal one since it’s given to those cultivators who wish to ascend to the Land Immortal Realm.

Luo Wusheng scratched his head.
But then, a light sigh came from the opposite side, 【Your cultivation aptitude is not low, but you should be unable to reach my level in the future, and the path of cultivation has no shortcuts. So tell me, how could you, at your age, already have reached the Peak of Golden Core? And how could you—hmm?】
His words were cut off abruptly, as the gaze in his eye suddenly froze.

The eye on the palm scrutinized Luo Wusheng’s body repeatedly.
【I see…】
The eye revealed an uncertain expression.

Then it suddenly spoke seriously, 【I can help you ascend to the Void Infant realm.】
“Void Infant realm?”
Luo Wusheng furrowed his brows.

It seemed like the figure had seen something from his body.
【It’s a realm where one would have the ability of instantaneous movement that belongs to those of the Nascent Soul Realm and the spiritual energy at the Nascent Soul Realm, but unable to activate their Dao Essence. In a sense, it’s like only stepping one foot into the Nascent Soul realm.】
Pausing for a moment, the gaze turned slightly solemn, 【Since you want to be promoted, this is your only choice, in this whole world, maybe I am the only one who can help you.】

A thunderous noise echoed in his mind, and Luo Wusheng instantly recalled everything ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ that happened when he ascended to the Nascent Soul realm earlier.
The meaning behind these words was quite clear – he couldn’t ascend to the Nascent Soul realm.
Because if he attempted it again, the Buddhist sect’s interference from before would disrupt the process once more.

After a prolonged silence, Luo Wusheng nodded and bowed in gratitude, saying, “I seek the senior’s assistance.”
He could vaguely sense that the figure had changed its initial thoughts and seemed more benevolent in recommending him to choose a realm to ascend to. The goodwill in the tone had increased slightly.
Moreover, he was genuinely intrigued.

Just as Luo Wusheng spoke, a drop of golden blood flew out from between the fingers of the palm, just like before, but this time, the blood was more crimson and adorned with strange patterns.
In an instant, the golden blood flew into Luo Wusheng’s forehead.
