The Obsessed Junior Disciple Came Again Tonight

Ming Yueyi is a cultivator trapped in a ten-cycle time loop within the world of a novel titled Immortal Path of Senior Brother. She is aware that she is a cannon-fodder character destined to be sacrificed as a sword offering for the male protagonist, He Wujiao, who cultivates the Ruthless Path. After nine failed attempts to escape this fate, she has adopted a strategy of emotional detachment and strategic manipulation. Her goal is to ensure He Wujiao’s death so she can ascend and break free from the fictional world. She returns to Qingyun Sect after a mission to exterminate snake demons, carrying the lingering scent of their blood, which attracts unwanted attention from serpentine entities.

Upon her return, Ming Yueyi discovers that her master has taken in a new junior brother, Pu Yuemin, a genius with terrifying talent who was absent in previous cycles. In her first life, she had imprisoned Pu Yuemin in her cave’s underground chamber to remove him as an obstacle to He Wujiao’s path, leading to his slow death. This time, she attempts to alter her interactions, showing kindness to other disciples and subtly changing outcomes. However, her encounter with Pu Yuemin is fraught with tension. During a spiritual examination, a forced spiritual union occurs between them, revealing Pu Yuemin’s hidden nature as a snake demon with vertical pupils and a forked tongue. Despite his frail appearance, he possesses immense power and a disturbing obsession with Ming Yueyi.

The narrative shifts as swamp butterfly demons from the Futuo Sea infiltrate the sect, parasitizing disciples and signaling the emergence of a great demon foretold by the sect’s ancestor. Ming Yueyi joins He Wujiao and Pu Yuemin on a mission to hunt the great demon. Throughout the journey, Pu Yuemin’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic and possessive. He watches Ming Yueyi with intense, snake-like fixation, and in a dream sequence, he reveals his true form as a massive white serpent, expressing his desire to consume her and bind her to him. This encounter leaves Ming Yueyi unsettled, highlighting the danger Pu Yuemin poses.

Meanwhile, He Wujiao remains the perfect senior brother, gentle and capable, but Ming Yueyi sees through his facade. She knows his ruthlessness and plans to use him as her own sacrificial blade to achieve ascension. She begins forging soul-locking chains, intending to bind both Pu Yuemin and He Wujiao. The story explores the complex dynamics between the three characters: Ming Yueyi’s calculated survival, He Wujiao’s oblivious kindness masking his ruthless dao, and Pu Yuemin’s demonic obsession. As they descend the mountain, the threat of the great demon looms, and Ming Yueyi must navigate her dual objectives of escaping her fate while dealing with the growing threat from her junior brother.

The summary concludes with Ming Yueyi maintaining her outward compliance while internally plotting her next move. She refuses Pu Yuemin’s offer of serpent blood perfume, asserting her hatred for snakes, which disappoints him. The tension builds as the group travels, with Pu Yuemin’s demonic nature becoming more apparent and He Wujiao’s strength growing. Ming Yueyi’s tenth cycle is marked by subtle changes in relationships and the looming presence of the great demon, setting the stage for a confrontation that could either break her cycle or lead to her ultimate demise.
