Chapter 3: Reader With A Spicy Chicken Identity

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Reader With A Spicy Chicken Identity

It had already been a day since Sui Sui transmigrated into the world of The Path of the Heavenly Tyrant.

So far, integrating into the Bai family has gone surprisingly smoothly. Thanks to the convenient excuse of amnesia provided by the physician, he could ask almost any question without arousing suspicion.

To celebrate his miraculous recovery, the Bai family decided to host a grand banquet. They even declared it to be Sui Sui’s second birthday—a day marking his rebirth.

Only recently had Sui Sui learned that the Bai family was far from an ordinary noble household. They were one of the ten great families in the human Realm and the leading family in their city, the Qǐ Luó City.

Although the Bai family had fewer members than the other prominent clans, they were widely recognized as the wealthiest among them. Their businesses stretched across the Human Realm and even some in the Beast Realm, reaching far beyond Qǐ Luó City itself. Their immense fortune ranked among the greatest in the region, and this can be seen in the Bai residence that occupied nearly half a mountain.

Because of this, the banquet would be open to the public, with many distinguished guests traveling from many different places to attend.

"Are you happy, Young Master?" one of the maids asked with a bright smile. "The banquet is only three days away. Once everyone sees that our young master has become well, let’s see who still dares to mock you."

The other maids immediately chimed in with cheerful agreement.

"Oh, that’s right! The Eldest Young Master should be returning soon as well. I remember that before he left for Wenjian Sect, the Second Young Master was especially close to him."

"That’s true. The Eldest Young Master has always doted on the Second Young Master."

Hearing their conversation, Sui Sui finally remembered that he had an older brother in this life.

In his previous world, he had a sibling as well, though it had been an older sister instead. He had always been especially clingy with her.

In fact...

He had been clingy with his whole family.

The thought made his chest tighten.

He suddenly found himself missing his parents and sister. His nose stung, and his eyes gradually reddened.

Seeing the tears welling up in his eyes, the maids immediately misunderstood. They assumed the Second Young Master simply missed his elder brother.

After all, even before he recovered, he would often cry whenever he couldn’t see the Eldest Young Master.

"Don’t worry, Second Young Master," one of the maids comforted him with a smile. "Eldest Young Master Suichen should be back very soon."

Sui Sui suddenly froze.

...Suichen?

Bai Suichen?

The name stirred something in his memory.

It seemed...

He had heard it somewhere before.

There was indeed a character named Bai Suichen in The Path of the Heavenly Tyrant.

He was one of the senior brothers the protagonist, Yizhou, met after entering the Wenjian Sect. Like the protagonist, Bai Suichen was renowned as a cultivation genius, possessing a high quality spiritual bone and decent soul force. The two of them even shared the same master, Elder Yuxin.

If Sui Sui remembered correctly...

This Bai Suichen never had a happy ending.

In the protagonist’s first lifetime, Bai Suichen died during the opening of a secret realm. While protecting Yizhou, he intercepted a fatal attack from a demon and ultimately lost his life.

In Yizhou’s reborn timeline, Bai Suichen managed to survive that ordeal, but he still did not live long enough.

Actually he was one of the few people who had genuinely stood by the protagonist’s side. Later, after Yizhou defected to the Demon Realm, Bai Suichen was among those sent to bring him back. Although his original intention was only to persuade Yizhou to return and have a peaceful talk, he unexpectedly crossed paths with one of the Seven Demon Vassals who had once served the previous Demon King.

In the end...He still died.

Sui Sui couldn’t help but sigh. This character’s fate was truly too pitiful.

Just as Sui Sui was lamenting the future events of the novel, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Besides Bai Suichen, he remembered that there seemed to be another character in The Path of the Heavenly Tyrant who also bore the surname Bai.

During the early Chapters of the novel, there was a comedic side character who constantly followed the protagonist around.

They were described as a complete cultivation waste, when they were tested for their aptitude it was revealed that they did not possess any soul force or spiritual body, meaning they would not be able to cultivate their whole lifetime.

The protagonist met him shortly after entering the Wenjian Sect. While descending the mountain one day, he happened to save a little fool who was being robbed of his money. Later, it was revealed that this little fool was actually Bai Suichen’s younger sibling, who had come to the Wenjian Sect to visit their brother.

Grateful for the rescue, the little fool immediately latched onto the protagonist, trailing after him everywhere while loudly proclaiming that they would one day marry him. To get even closer, they later shamelessly relied on family connections to secure a probationary disciple position in the Wenjian Sect even though they were a cultivation waste who could not use a single spiritual power.

Throughout the early arcs, he mainly served as comic relief.

However, in the protagonist’s second life after his rebirth, the two never crossed paths. Due to the change of plans of the protagonist, he missed the chance to help the little fool like in his first life, and as a result, the little fool never followed him.

Even so, the little fool still played an important role later in the story.

After Bai Suichen’s death, the Bai family was eventually annihilated by a group of demonic cultivators, leaving the little fool as the sole survivor. They fled to the Beast Realm and lived there in hiding.

Much later, during one of the novel’s major arcs, the protagonist was gravely injured in battle and afflicted with a deadly love gu poison.

It was this little fool who ultimately saved his life.

Because the poison could only be dispelled through dual cultivation, the two had no choice but to do it.

Ironically, despite having a large harem throughout the novel, the protagonist had never actually shared a bed with any of his wives. Most of the women in his harem were little more than political captives or hostages, and there wasn’t a single one for whom he held genuine affection.

So in the end, across the novel’s thousand-plus Chapters, the little fool was the only person with whom the protagonist had ever truly consummated such a relationship.

Later it would eventually be revealed that this Fool actually possessed Extreme Yin Constitution

Those with an Extreme Yin Constitution were known as Living Medicines, beings whose very existence drove countless cultivators into madness.

Every part of their body was an invaluable treasure. For example, their blood could cure another person’s poison, although it could not cure their own.

Their flesh and blood contained abundant Natural Yin Qi, and when consumed, could greatly enhance one’s cultivation. This alone was enough to drive countless cultivators into madness, especially those who practiced demonic arts and other yin-based techniques.

As for their bodies, they were regarded as the perfect furnace for dual cultivation, allowing their partner’s cultivation to progress at more than twice the normal rate.

To the protagonist, who possessed an Extreme Yang Physique and cultivated the demonic path, the little fool was nothing less than a heaven-sent treasure, a living golden finger. It was for this reason that he was eventually brought back to the Demon Realm.

Whenever the Gu poison flared up or his cultivation required it, the two would dual cultivate, making the little fool a living golden finger to help the protagonist advance his cultivation by leaps and bounds.

Remembering all of this, Sui Sui suddenly felt his face grow warm.

One thing had always puzzled the readers.

The novel had never once revealed the little fool’s gender. Throughout the story, the character was simply referred to as "the little fool." Naturally, most readers assumed the character was a woman. After all they were often described as a little beauty, The Path of the Heavenly Tyrant was also classic YY novel with an overwhelmingly masculine protagonist.

But now that Sui Sui carefully pieced together all the clues...

The setting sounded strangely familiar.

A little fool.

The younger sibling of Bai Suichen.

...

If the Bai family didn’t have another hidden child...

Then wouldn’t that little fool...

Be Bai Sui Sui?

Or rather—

Him?
