"Kid, you're eighteen now, huh?"
Ye Wangchuan continued his conversation with Li Luo.
Only those who are at least eighteen years old can enter the Heaven Rank Talent Awakening venue.
So Li Luo is still a legal loli.
As soon as Li Luo heard the word "kid," a vein popped up on her forehead.
"Don't call me a kid! My name is Li Luo! And what's wrong with being eighteen?"
"Well... since you're eighteen, the story you told me yesterday about getting lost from your mom was a lie, right?"
Ye Wangchuan said with a smile, stepping closer to Li Luo.
Due to her petite stature, Li Luo had to look up to meet Ye Wangchuan's gaze.
"What exactly were you after when you approached me that day?"
As Ye Wangchuan spoke, he stared intently into Li Luo's eyes, trying to catch any subtle expressions.
And he did catch quite a few.
Although Li Luo tried to keep her expression calm, a faint trace of panic still flickered in her pupils.
Panicking?
Haha, it seems I was right.
This kid is a chosen one.
Seeing Li Luo remain silent, Ye Wangchuan patted her shoulder and continued.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"
Looking at the large hand that seemed capable of pinching her to death at any moment, Li Luo swallowed hard.
But she firmly believed that she hadn't provoked this villain.
As long as she didn't admit that she approached him to beat him up, she wouldn't be in trouble... probably.
"I really just wanted to ask for directions, is that a crime?!" Li Luo said indignantly.
"You're eighteen and still don't know the way? You got lost from your mom?" Ye Wangchuan asked, puzzled.
"Yes! I'm weak and sickly, petite, and can't live without my mom at eighteen! What's wrong with that?" Li Luo said through gritted teeth.
"Hmm, that does seem reasonable," Ye Wangchuan said, stroking his chin.
"If there's nothing wrong, then don't touch me! Are you some kind of lolicon pervert?!" Li Luo said, slapping away Ye Wangchuan's hand on her shoulder.
The next moment.
[Villain Emotion Points +20]
[Current Total: 20 Points.]
"Huh?"
Seeing the villain's emotion points increase, Li Luo was a bit confused.
What did I just do? Why did the points increase?
Hmm...
I just called Ye Wangchuan a pervert!!
Could it be that any emotion directed at the villain earns points? Not just completing tasks?
Li Luo looked up and tested the waters by calling out to Ye Wangchuan.
"Pervert."
[Villain Emotion Points +20]
[Current Total: 40 Points.]
Ye Wangchuan looked coldly at Li Luo.
Why did this kid call me a pervert twice?
And why is she so confident...
To be honest, Ye Wangchuan had zero desire for a little brat like Li Luo.
If anything, he felt an urge to beat her up.
After all, this little loli Li Luo, just like that woman before, dared to slander him—
She deserves to be slaughtered.
A good beating and dumping her in a village would straighten her out.
"I'm not a pervert," Ye Wangchuan said coldly.
Li Luo: "No, you are. You were just staring at my body and thighs."
Ye Wangchuan: "I wasn't looking..."
[Villain Emotion Points +30]
[Current Total: 70 Points.]
Seeing the points increase again, Li Luo couldn't help but feel a bit smug.
Just three insults of "pervert" and I've easily earned 70 villain emotion points.
That's enough to buy two low-grade cultivation pills.
If I throw in some curses, would I get even more points?
Li Luo's mind raced with possibilities.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan's mind was also working.
He was thinking about whether to punch this loli in the stomach once or twice.
Or maybe kill her? Hmm...
Let's wait a bit. Let's see what kind of cheat this loli has. If it's something I can steal, I'll give it a try.
As he thought, Ye Wangchuan's eyes swept coldly over Li Luo, and he fell silent.
Li Luo shivered, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Having defeated several villains in previous worlds, Li Luo had a keen sense for detecting villains.
Looking up at Ye Wangchuan's cold expression, she felt a surge of irritation.
This villain...
Did he just want to hit me?
There's no doubt about it. Li Luo clearly sensed that Ye Wangchuan wanted to hit her!
The malice was well-hidden, but she still picked up on it.
If it weren't for her experience from previous worlds, she might not have noticed anything unusual about Ye Wangchuan.
Ugh!
Come on, dude?
I'm just a little loli, and we've only met twice.
The first time, I didn't do anything, and the second time, I didn't do anything either...
Wait, no, I think it was because I called him a pervert three times.
...
...
Time flew by, and it was noon.
BOOM!!!!
"Noon has arrived! Heaven Rank Talent Awakening! Begin!"
With a loud bell ringing, an old man with white hair and wearing a long robe appeared in the sky.
With a flick of his hand,
RUMBLE!!!
The ground beneath the feet of the millions who had signed up for the awakening shook.
In the next moment, the earth and stone beneath everyone's feet rose into the air, reaching a height of a thousand meters.
The old man waved his sleeve again, dispersing the clouds in the sky with a single motion.
With a point of his finger, the sunlight began to twist and warp.
Gradually, the light formed a golden-edged staircase with ninety-nine steps!
Though called a staircase, its size was far from ordinary.
Each step was about a hundred meters high from the previous one.
Like a steep cliff.
With ninety-nine steps, the total height naturally reached nearly ten thousand meters.
Given the height, the length and width were even more astonishing.
Each step could easily accommodate millions of people.
"The Heaven Rank Talent Awakening will last for a week. Begin now!"
