[Chapter 156 Comnts.]
Mia was watching with her mouth wide open. Even though she had heard a few things from her mother, she had never seen the aftermath herself.
Even she couldn't see the entire illusion. There were only a few things that she noticed.
'It seems that Dad breaks her apart until she has nothing left. After that, he gives her even more power. I don't know how he's done that, but it seems to be related to enlightennt. This way, Dad looks like the savior that pulls her up at her darkest hour, making her completely reliant on him.
'On the one hand, it doesn't seem that severe of a consequence. If soone's mind breaks, they will end up like a fool and commit suicide. On the other hand, this can be considered brainwashing.' Mia fell silent for a mont before finding sothing weird. 'Wait a minute. Why would Dad brainwash her? To turn her into a weapon or…'
Mia, though unable to get a concrete image, could see the future that Theo was planning. It seed that the cultivation world had its own use for the future, so he wanted to have at least one person completely loyal to him.
Theo pointed at Mia while asking, "Don't you know there is one thing that you need to do before I tell you anything?"
"Yes." Yue Yi closed her eyes and stood up. Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees in front of Mia and cupped her hands. "My lady, I have been very rude to you. You can punish in any way you want. Beat or burn . Anything."
"O-oh!" Mia couldn't help but notice the slightly hollow gaze. "That doesn't really matter. If Dad doesn't give you any more punishnt, then I am fine with it."
"Thank you very much, my lady. Yue Yi has been rude to you, and you still have the kindness in your heart to forgive her."
"That's enough." Mia felt slightly embarrassed and uncomfortable, but it was quite a weird way to address herself in the third person. At the sa ti, it also made her a bit cuter. She couldn't help but think of the possibility of her doing the sa thing.
"Are you alright?" Theo asked. While he had scanned her body and found no injuries, the answer was clear, but Theo wanted to confirm it.
"Yes. There is no injury." Mia moved closer and whispered, "Dad. What are you thinking about? I an, do you plan to go back here?"
Theo shook his head. "Not really. But when I think about the current situation, I think there is a need for preparation. If you think about it carefully, a web novel still has arcs, right?"
"Arcs…" Mia looked down for a mont. 'Now that I think about it, a web novel should have at least a few arcs. Right now, we might still be in the first arc, which is the academy arc. Considering there are ten worlds, there might be ten arcs, with the academy arc being the one representing the Modern Realm.
'In that case, the second arc will be about our family in the Demon Realm. In other words, the second arc should be related to the revenge arc where we claim everything we deserve in that world.
'How about the next arc? It seems Dad has known this fact so well that he begins preparing it. So, the reason he chooses this little girl must be because he wants to delay the cultivator arc. The cultivators arc would definitely have a lot of enemies and destruction, so he wants Yue Yi, who will beco the supporting character in this arc, to grow first.
'And the author can't make Yue Yi strong for no reason at all. So, there is a need for ti, which is what Dad currently creates.' Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Mia finally understood the reason why Theo went this far. While they were the characters in a novel and Theo could simply use them like nothing, Theo chose not to go that far and gave them sothing in return. In Yue Yi's case, it was enlightennt as well as a brand new self in exchange for her loyalty.
"I see." Mia nodded her head in understanding.
Theo smiled at her before returning to Yue Yi. "So, I want you to help create a martial art that can channel the energy into the heart instead of the Dantian. Do you think you're able to answer so basic characteristics of Spiritual Qi?"
"I have so knowledge about it, but I'm no expert. If you want, I could ask several people to help you. And I will make sure they are won, so that you won't feel bothered to have n accompanying you…" Yue Yi abruptly stopped before correcting herself as though she had made a grave mistake. "No. If I send those won, they will realize the brilliance of your lordship! They will lust over you and I might have to kill them to protect your lordship!"
"W-what?" Even Theo was bewildered by her words. "Huh?!"
Yue Yi's expression looked like that of soone who might really kill them. There was a sense of possessiveness in her gaze. It felt like she revered him so much that she was trying to push away all kinds of things from him to keep him pure.
The only one who actually realized what happened was Mia.
"Pfft!" Mia couldn't help but laugh out loud. She never expected this to happen, but the author had truly done it.
"Mia?" Theo glanced at his daughter with a confused expression.
Mia whispered, "Dad. Do you know that this is called Yandere?"
"Yan…what?" Theo tilted his head. He truly didn't understand this term.
"To put it simply, they are soone who has been driven to insanity by extre obsession or love, thus resulting in abnormal behavior if not violence."
"Huh?!" Theo looked at Yue Yi, who still had an innocent face as though she had done nothing wrong.
"The author must have realized your intention. Since you're going to make her your pawn, he uses this trope to make it harder. While Yandere is normally liked by a lot of people, I'm sure that the author is trying to use her to hinder your movent or create an even bigger problem with that obsession. I think this should also explain why she was rude to you."
Theo couldn't help but consider Mia's words seriously. He didn't know this was a thing, but once Mia explained it, he sohow understood what the author wanted.
As Mia said, the reason for her rudeness earlier might also be related to this 'Yandere' side. The target of that obsessiveness was none other than Li Shuye, so Theo was classified as an enemy. It was never about pride or sothing.
But after what he had done, he changed the target of her obsessiveness to him. While it didn't seem that she would harm his family, it wouldn't change the fact that Yue Yi might kill others without hesitation.
If he didn't control her properly, she would go on a rampage and cause an even bigger problem.
He had truly been had by the author.
"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth. On the one hand, killing her would probably be able to stop future problems. On the other hand, the author knew he wasn't the type of person who killed an innocent person and he wouldn't be so foolish to antagonize the entire Snow Blossom Sect this way.
It felt like the author wanted to tell him, 'You want to delay it? Don't worry. That thod will give you more problems.'
Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. It seed that he had made a mistake.
"So, what should we do?" Mia asked.
Because of the situation, Theo ended up taking a whole ten minutes to reconsider his plans. "Yue Yi!"
"Yes?"
"First of all, if you call lordship in front of everyone, it's going to be troubleso. Just call Mr. Theo or Teacher Theo."
"But…"
"Are you going to say no?" Theo narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, Teacher Theo! Yue Yi doesn't dare to reject your request." Yue Yi furiously shook her head.
"Mia is the sa. Just call her by her na and that should do it. As for other people, I don't need them. I will just ask you about what I want to know, and if you can't answer, then so be it."
Yue Yi gasped as though her body were struck by lightning. 'Just ? Does that an his lordship doesn't need anyone other than ? Does this an a proposal? But how dare I think about becoming his lordship's wife? I'm fine with being a concubine.'
"Well, your master has asked you to help , so just consider the power you've got as the paynt. You are not weak in the first place, you are simply too conceited. As long as you understand your true self, I think you won't have any problems."
"Yes. Thank you for allowing to see my true self."
"Since we have ti until tomorrow, let's go inside and discuss this new technique. Depending on the result of the eting tomorrow, I want you to pass on an idea to your master."
"Understood."
Theo also saw the potential of Martial Arts. It seed that aside from the cultivation technique, he could also get so Martial Arts to boost his power. Mia had shown that even her teddy bear could use the Martial Arts, so he thought about fusing this technique with his Spirit or Demon's abilities.
It would be quite amazing to see that his sword was able to create a wave that could reach the target as long as he could see it. Or what if he combined another Martial Arts with the Toon Territory or Toon World, allowing him to shift the illusion in another direction? Just thinking about it made him feel excited.
"Mia. Can you bring her inside first?" Theo asked.
"Sure." Mia nodded without hesitation.
After seeing both of them enter the building, Theo opened the comnts again. It was already rare to get a comnt, let alone two in a row. So he was kind of apologetic when he couldn't reply to the comnts right away.
"Ahaha. Well, as you can see, it's not really an attitude adjustnt. And the author has ssed up with the plan as well. I now wonder if I should refrain myself from now on or not. Then again, if I'm not bold enough, there's no way I can force the author into a corner.
"I'm not sure if you guys are fine with this or not. So, if you are not fine with it or think I'm a bit too excessive, feel free to say it. Of course, the readers who can't comnt right away should have the chance as well. The author should be holding another special comnt again if sothing like this happens.
"As for Yue Yi, well, this is why I dislike the cultivation world. Mia told the trope where the people around the main character beco so dumb that they don't realize their own situation. It's like they are the type of person who fights first and thinks later.
"Either way, I can't really escape from this situation, so I might as well use this chance to the fullest. Thank you for supporting this whole ti." Theo smiled before returning to the building.
