"It's back! That feeling of being invincible, of being the sole supreme existence, it's back!"
"Lin Xiao!"
"In the contest between us, it was ultimately I, Ye Wudi, who won!"
"In fact, from the day of the disciple acceptance ceremony, the moment you dared to oppose this Princely Heir, you had already embarked on the path to your own demise!"
Watching the headless corpse of his nemesis on the ground, the young Princely Heir of Beichuan trembled, his expression a mixture of ecstasy and madness.
「At this moment!」
A myriad of emotions surged within him.
He felt as though it were a dream, that victory had come too easily!
Yet, he also experienced an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
Instantly, countless humiliations suffered since entering the Qinglan Sect surfaced in his mind like fleeting illusions...
The next second—they all shattered!
If anyone insults me, I shall repay them ten thousandfold!
He, Ye Wudi, had done it!
The young man's thoughts became increasingly clear, and the smile on his lips grew more frenzied and ferocious.
He raised his head, stepped over the enemy's corpse on the ground, and attempted to walk towards his sister.
"Xuan'er, the scoundrel who confused you and led you astray is no more. Now..."
"We siblings can return to our childhood, to those intimate and carefree times~"
A morbidly wild smile touched Ye Chen's lips as his gaze swept around.
And then he saw it—
His sister, who had blossomed into an peerless beauty with a striking, exotic allure, had already disrobed, revealing a flawless, snow-white physique. Not only that...
She had bound herself and gagged her mouth with a strip of cloth!
Even though she was his own sister, this incredibly voluptuous scene...
Still made his blood boil!
Yes, at this very moment, the young man finally acknowledged his true feelings!
Truthfully!
Ever since transitioning from late childhood to early adolescence, he had been madly infatuated with this stunningly beautiful and talented younger sister! All his daily ambiguous words and teasing! They were born of a brother's affection for his sister, but also... a man's admiration for a woman! Now that things had come to this, there was nothing to be ashamed of admitting! A fair maiden is a gentleman's desire! Back when his sister was in the imperial capital of Great Zhou, she had attracted countless sons of royalty and nobility, all vying for her affection like stars fawning over the moon! For such a stunning beauty, as if a goddess reincarnated, rather than let someone else have her, it was better for him, being close, to get her first! Only he, the Son of Destiny, was worthy of this favored daughter of heavens! His thoughts were now perfectly clear. In this dreamlike state of euphoria, he had completely figured everything out!
"Xuan'er, did you tie yourself up... to apologize to your brother?"
"Ah, you're Brother Chen's darling; how could I ever blame you?"
"It's all that scum Lin Xiao's fault! The blame isn't yours!"
"Come, let's hug... just like when we were little..."
Watching his sister's alluring, writhing body, the young man's heart pounded, and his mouth grew increasingly parched.
Although he found it somewhat strange that even at such close proximity, he couldn't clearly see the critical parts of his sister's body...
But none of that mattered anymore!
Some things were meant to be experienced!
At that moment, the virile young man, casting aside all worldly constraints, sheathed his Lifebound Immortal Sword, the Black Hawk Raksha.
Strangely, the enemy's blood on the scabbard seemed to flow backward!
But with such a captivating sister displayed so seductively before him, he could no longer care about such trivialities!
He lunged forward in a single bound, embracing the body he had yearned for in his dreams!
"Xuan'er, Brother... Brother really missed you so much!"
"Do you know!? All these years, as your brother fought his way from Great Zhou to the Eastern Region, countless beautiful women threw themselves at me, but your brother wasn't moved in the slightest!"
"Having once experienced the vast sea, no other water seems worthy; except for the clouds of Mount Wu, no other clouds are true clouds."
"Because in your brother's heart, there is only you!"
"Tonight, let us, brother and sister, completely merge and return to our good old days!"
The young man's face was flushed. He no longer cared about anything and started biting her neck!
For some reason, he didn't untie the ropes binding the beauty before him, nor did he remove the gag from her mouth!
Besides, his sister had willingly presented herself for punishment. This would even add a certain thrill!
He licked passionately, his hands and feet moving as if he were a demon gone mad...
"Sorry Xuan'er, this is the last time..."
Overcome with emotion, the young man cast all caution aside, stripped off his equipment, and pressed down heavily!
At that moment, behind this Princely Heir of Prince Beichuan.
A breathtakingly handsome young man and beautiful young woman were also watching, their eyes wide with shock.
"What... what is he doing?"
Ye Xuan'er watched her brother embracing and frenziedly kissing the giant lizard, her heart filled with both disgust and disappointment.
"He's under the effect of my Spirit Sword Art, Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water, and has been completely hypnotized."
Also finding the sight somewhat unbearable, Lin Xiao turned his head aside. "As you just heard, under the mental illusion induced by the hypnosis, he has released the emotions suppressed deep within his heart and is treating that giant lizard as you..."
Yes, the reason he used the Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water Spirit Sword Art on Ye Chen was precisely to expose his inner ugliness to Ye Xuan'er! After all, in the original novel, Ye Chen had been inappropriately close to his sister since childhood; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a pervert. Now it seemed that the heart of Ye Chen, this Long Aotian-type protagonist, was even more sinister than he had imagined!
Pah! Scum! To do such a thing in broad daylight! Even I, Lin Xiao, would turn off the lights for this!
But speaking of which...
The reason Lin Xiao had devised this malicious plan was actually inspired by a news story from his previous life. Now, this plan could be said to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did it let Ye Xuan'er see Ye Chen's ugly side, but it also helped this protagonist, who was still a virgin after several million words in the original novel, experience worldly pleasures.
A true philanthropist.
Although, the recipient of this kindness was a pitiful giant lizard...
"Xuan'er! Brother... Brother really loves you!"
"Tonight, your brother will take good care of you!"
"I'll cherish you thoroughly!"
At this moment, Ye Chen, straddling the giant lizard, grew increasingly maniacal.
As the sounds from the scene grew increasingly lewd, Lin Xiao frowned and quickly covered Ye Xuan'er's eyes. "You must see what kind of person Ye Chen is now, right? Let's go, don't pollute our eyes."
"Brother Xiao, I suddenly feel like crying..."
Ye Xuan'er's soft, fragrant body burrowed into Lin Xiao's embrace as she sobbed, "I never imagined... my own biological brother, who grew up with me, would actually be a demon consumed by lecherous thoughts!"
"I feel so much hatred! I hate myself for being so blind in my childhood, for actually taking such a person as my role model! I hate that I am a member of the Ye family along with him! WAHHH..."
Tears streamed from the girl's eyes as she clung to Lin Xiao even tighter.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. He gently stroked the girl's hair and said, "Xuan'er, have you ever considered that you and he might not be biologically... Alas, there are some things Brother Xiao will tell you later."
He gave the girl's buttocks a light, comforting pat, then, suppressing his nausea, glanced back at Ye Chen.
The noble Son of Destiny, already like a crazed demon, was shouting Ye Xuan'er's name while frantically thrusting.
And the previously rampant giant lizard, bound by the Monster Binding Rope and its mouth sealed with a magic-inhibiting strip, was now struggling continuously, its large, bell-like eyes filled with terror!
Lin Xiao sighed with complex emotions, yet a sliver of shameful pleasure also arose within him.
At this moment, he, the Destiny Big Villain, held in his arms the noble and beautiful descendant of the Upper Realm Immortal Ancient Tribe, the Northern Territory Queen, the original novel's primary female lead, Ye Xuan'er! Meanwhile, the protagonist of the original novel, the sole Son of Destiny, could only act out his fantasies on a giant lizard... Victory was decided; how utterly dull.
Seeing Ye Chen's actions become increasingly audacious, Lin Xiao quickly took Ye Xuan'er's hand and left the ruined temple.
「Just as the two boarded the carriage to return to Beacon City.」
A system notification sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations, Host!"
"You have indirectly killed the Reincarnator: Deep Sea Demon Hunting Giant Lizard, Zhang Jiawen! (Luck: Green)"
"You have obtained a Big Villain reward: Ground Yin Summoning Banner x1 (Heaven Rank, Mid-Grade Magic Treasure. This item condenses the deepest Corpse Demon Aura from the earth's veins and can recruit wandering souls and ghosts for one's own use. Note: The maximum cultivation level of recruited entities = Host's cultivation level (Peak of Dharma Appearance Stage))."
"Your Beiming Swallowing Heaven Immortal Skill (Lv2), after some effort, has successfully refined its Demon Core: the Seven Calamity Poisonous Heart! You have acquired the Origin Attribute: [Body Immune to All Poisons]!"
...
Inside the carriage, Lin Xiao, who was comforting Ye Xuan'er in his arms, heard a series of system prompts.
He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
What the hell!? The giant lizard died just like that? How did it die? Could it have been... Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen! You're unbelievably brutal! I, Lin Xiao, hereby declare you the strongest warrior on Earth! May you reincarnate and drink the waters of the Ganges in your next life!
Lin Xiao sighed with a multitude of emotions.
But then again... this damn system didn't lie to me after all. As long as I kill Reincarnators, I get Big Villain rewards and can absorb the most essential parts from their bodies! But that's not right! Isn't the Seven Calamity Poisonous Heart the inner demonic core of Duke Spider, the Deputy Sect Master of the Evil Extreme Sect from the original novel? That guy was killed by Ye Chen with a single slash, and Old Shi even helped Ye Chen refine it into his own body! So, is it possible... that this giant lizard *was* that Duke Spider!?
A bold conjecture surfaced in Lin Xiao's mind.
Then, he thought of something terrifying—since one Reincarnator has appeared, could there be others in this world? Or perhaps, right here in the Qinglan Sect, could there be others? Thinking more deeply, compared to him, the Destiny Big Villain, did these Reincarnators possess a higher 'status' or 'level'?
Countless questions flooded his mind.
Lin Xiao's brow furrowed deeply.
The system's notification sounded again!
DING!
"Congratulations, Host!"
"You have successfully intercepted the fated opportunity of the Son of Destiny, Ye Chen—the Seven Calamity Poisonous Heart—causing his Luck Value to decrease by 700 points. (His luck's base color remains light blue.)"
"You have received a Villain Reward: Nascent Nurturing Pill (A First Grade Treasure Pill. It condenses the essence of heaven and earth, seizing a thread of creation's fortune. This pill significantly increases the chances of successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, and offers a certain probability of forming a Nine-Colored Nascent Soul during the Transforming Core into Nascent phase.) [Based on the impact of this strike, the reward level this time is: Green.]"
...
Nascent Nurturing Pill? This is truly excellent! This thing... I'm afraid not even Elder Gu, the head of the Pill Workshop in the Qinglan Sect, could refine it! Let alone the Eastern Region, even across the entire Divine Continent, probably only a few sects specializing in alchemy possess a small number of Nascent Nurturing Pills, guarded as their foundational treasures. Hmm, the Blood Demon's unsealing is like a 'death by plot' event; it's fundamentally unstoppable. Even if I use schemes to pacify the Eight Great Demon Sects, I will eventually have to confront this major boss head-on! It seems... after returning, it's time to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage and go see the higher, wider world of cultivation.
Looking at the gleaming, emerald-green pill in his storage space, Lin Xiao's mood instantly lightened.
"Brother Xiao, what happened? What's making... you so happy?" Also noticing Lin Xiao's change in demeanor, Ye Xuan'er rubbed her tear-reddened eyes and looked at him with concern, asking.
"Xuan'er, you don't look much like a queen right now."
Lin Xiao was in high spirits at this moment. He lifted her small face and pressed his forehead against hers!
At this moment, they could feel each other's breath; the atmosphere was incredibly intimate!
"Then... what do I look like? Have I turned back into the little crybaby from our childhood?"
"I... I don't want to cry either, but the tears just won't stop... Ai, Xuan'er is so embarrassing."
Ye Xuan'er pouted, shaking her head.
Although she was now completely disillusioned and despairing of her brother, it was impossible to say she wasn't hurt at all!
"No, you look more like..."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he took her by surprise and lightly pecked her alluring vermilion lips.
"The kind of girl that Brother Xiao likes."
