Jiang Che had a keen intuition that Gu Lingfei’s best friend was absolutely no ordinary person!
As a villain, he possessed the Villain’s Aura, which greatly increased his chances of encountering protagonists of destiny.
Having dealt with so many protagonists, Jiang Che had developed a sharp instinct.
"Lingfei-jie, who is this best friend of yours?"
Gu Lingfei answered reflexively, "My best friend has quite the background..."
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly narrowed her eyes with suspicion. "Hmph... What’s the matter, Xiao Che? Aren’t there enough flowers at home for you to pluck? Now you’ve set your sights on my best friend?"
Her tone dripped with jealousy.
"Of course not! Lingfei-jie, I was just asking. Since I’m going to pretend to be your boyfriend, shouldn’t I have all the information?"
Gu Lingfei covered her mouth and chuckled. "Don’t even think about it, kid. She’s already married. What, do you have the heart of a Cao Cao?"
"What do you mean ‘heart of a Cao Cao’? It’s called the Jian’an literary style, the legacy of Emperor Wu of Wei," Jiang Che joked.
"Uh-huh, sure~" Gu Lingfei’s eyes held a teasing glint.
Jiang Che sighed inwardly. It seemed he had misjudged the situation. Being a villain for so long had conditioned him to associate everything with protagonists of destiny.
"By the way, Lingfei-jie, you seem exhausted lately. Want me to give you a massage?"
"You little pervert, I’ve seen right through you." Gu Lingfei shot him a seductive glare before pulling up her nightgown, revealing a pair of sheer black stockings underneath!
The stockings clung to her flawless long legs, with just the right amount of pressure leaving a tantalizing indentation on her thighs.
Clearly, Gu Lingfei had come prepared.
Just then, the blanket on the bed trembled slightly—a movement Gu Lingfei immediately noticed.
"Huh? Xiao Che, did the blanket just move?"
"Did it? Maybe your eyes are playing tricks on you. Don’t worry about it."
"Oh~ Maybe I’ve just been working too hard lately." Though she said this, her eyes sparkled with mischief.
Meanwhile, Yu Wan’er, hiding under the covers, was utterly dumbfounded.
[Jiang Che, you bastard! I just want to sleep! ┗|｀O′|┛]
......
At the same time, inside the Association of the Chosen.
"Pavilion Master Xu, I can’t see! I CAN’T SEE!!! My X-ray vision is gone! You have to help me!"
Yang Ming collapsed on the floor, wailing in despair.
A white cloth covered his eyes, stained with two distinct bloodstains where his eyes should have been.
His pitiful state sent chills down the spines of the other protagonists in the association. Having one’s eyes gouged out sounded unbearably painful.
Xu Rong’s expression was icy as he glanced at Yang Ming, then at Chen Hao beside him.
"Chen Hao, you’re a grandmaster. How could something like this happen?"
Chen Hao felt a hint of pressure. "Pavilion Master Xu, I swear it wasn’t intentional. When Yang Ming got hurt, I was in a VIP room on the third floor getting a spa treatment. I was so relaxed that... I forgot about Brother Yang."
Yang Ming nearly spat blood in fury upon hearing this.
I treat my brother like family, and my brother kicks me into the ditch.
"Chen Hao, you—"
The room erupted in murmurs.
"Brother Yang, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know. There were two blonde masseuses working on my back, so I was late... How about this? I’ll give you 10,000 association points as compensation."
The others gasped.
10,000 points? That could buy a lot of good stuff!
But compared to X-ray vision, it still fell short.
Yang Ming was devastated. "Pavilion Master Xu, what do I do now? Our association is so powerful—surely there’s some miraculous elixir that can restore my eyes, right?"
Xu Rong pondered. "There is, but most are in the system stores of the Earth Pavilion and Heaven Pavilion. You can’t afford any of them..."
His words were a death sentence.
"No—"
"But don’t lose hope. You’re a chosen one. Go out and explore—maybe you’ll stumble upon a special opportunity."
"The organization won’t abandon you. Take the 10,000 points and exchange them for survival skills or other abilities in the system store. We’ll also deposit 1 billion yuan into your account..."
The Association of the Chosen lacked many things, but money wasn’t one of them. The headquarters had several chosen ones with godly wealth—a few trillion was pocket change.
"Rest assured, we won’t let that casino get away with this either."
After placating Yang Ming, Xu Rong turned to Chen Hao.
"Come with me."
Once inside the office, Xu Rong cut straight to the point.
"How much ‘scumbag points’ did you earn this time?"
Chen Hao grinned. "Not much, just around 150,000. After conversion, that’s about 30,000 headquarters points. Giving Yang Ming 10,000 is more than enough."
Xu Rong nodded. "Yang Ming is useless now. Give him three years. If he doesn’t find a special opportunity by then, bring him back and let him retire."
Chen Hao frowned. "Why not just kill him? A worthless waste is better off dead, no?"
Xu Rong shot him a cold look. "You never know how absurd a chosen one can be. Even a crippled one shouldn’t be killed lightly. If he reincarnates and comes back for revenge, it’ll be a nightmare."
"They can reincarnate?!" Chen Hao was stunned.
"Of course. Once, a former Pavilion Master of the ‘Human Pavilion’ schemed against a chosen one. That chosen one reincarnated into another world, cultivated for 3,000 years, then returned and slaughtered the entire Human Pavilion. Back then, the barriers between realms hadn’t been sealed yet, so this madman even fought his way into the Earth Pavilion. In the end, a big shot from the Heaven Pavilion had to step in and annihilate him for good."
Chen Hao sucked in a sharp breath.
"That hardcore?!"
"So remember—no matter how weak a chosen one seems, never scheme against them outright. Even if you do, make sure they’re well compensated."
"Chen Hao, transfer 5,000 points to me later. We’ll split it 50-50—you keep 15,000."
With that, Xu Rong left without another word.
Chen Hao’s lips twitched.
"Fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand my ass! Just wait till I milk you dry, you bastard. Then I’ll screw over that idiot Pavilion Master too. I’ll take the seat myself—you’re all just my livestock!"
He had just preached about giving chosen ones fair treatment, and the next second, he was fleecing him?! Screw that!
Xu Rong had no idea that Chen Hao had already turned to the dark side—losing his Protagonist’s Aura and gaining the Villain’s Aura instead.
One of the key abilities of Jiang Che’s Villain’s Aura was that any chosen one killed under its influence could never reincarnate or resurrect. And now, Chen Hao shared that same power.
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."
