An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad-Chapter 203 - VIP5
Chapter 203
“Hm? 2000 points? Not bad, not bad.” Yang Chen was quite satisfied.
It seemed that hugging Zhan Qiuyun had a substantial impact on Junior Brother Xiao Dong. Ha. His careful planning to break through at this moment had truly paid off.
Yes. The surge of true qi that destroyed the wooden hut had been intentional. He’d sensed Chu Xi and Xiao Dong approaching, so he’d seized the moment to break through his cultivation level.
Previously, he had reached the Fifth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, only a step away from the Sixth Stage. During the qi transfer with Zhan Qiuyun, he had not only given but also received a considerable amount of her essence qi.
Within it lay a vast quantity of pure true qi.
After refining it a bit and absorbing some solar qi, he smoothly broke through from the Fifth Stage to the Sixth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.
And, as a bonus, he’d let Junior Brother Xiao Dong witness the scene, earning himself two thousand destiny points.
A double win.
All of this happened in an instant.
Zhan Qiuyun quickly returned to her senses, and her gaze fell upon the shattered remains of the wooden hut, where she immediately saw Chu Xi and Xiao Dong.
A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, followed by a surge of anger and killing intent.
“Scoundrel, let go of me!” Zhan Qiuyun scolded in a low voice.
“Martial Aunt!”
Before Yang Chen could release her, she channeled her true qi, forcefully breaking his embrace.
“Martial Aunt, my apologies—I accidentally broke through my realm! You know well that breaking through in the Soul Transformation Realm isn’t easy. For some, it takes decades or even centuries to move up just one stage! So, I didn’t hold back and directly broke through. I didn’t mean to destroy the hut.” Yang Chen explained, glancing at Chu Xi, “Junior Sister Chu Xi, don’t misunderstand. My Martial Aunt and I were just …”
“Silence! Don’t explain!” Zhan Qiuyun shot him a fierce glare, cutting him off. Then she stood up, taking a step to appear directly in front of Chu Xi and Xiao Dong.
Now, her expression no longer showed the embarrassment she had when facing Yang Chen. What remained was only cold killing intent.
She was, after all, the esteemed Master of Youyue Peak, a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, renowned throughout Central Continent.
Now, to be seen embracing her own nephew in such a compromising situation? Naturally, she needed to silence them.
If this were to spread, where would her dignity go?
“M-Master!” Sensing the chilling killing intent radiating from Zhan Qiuyun, Chu Xi’s voice trembled.
Hearing this, Zhan Qiuyun regained a bit of calm.
Chu Xi had awakened the Celestial Purple Physique, and it would be a pity to kill her outright. Moreover, the Holy Lord was already aware of Chu Xi’s existence; killing her would likely invite repercussions from him.
“Chu Xi, who allowed you two to enter!? Did I not tell you to leave first?” Zhan Qiuyun questioned coldly.
“Disciple … saw a full moon rising and came to investigate … I never thought …” Chu Xi stammered, unable to finish her sentence.
She quickly dropped to one knee, understanding she had seen something she shouldn’t have and that her Master was already contemplating silencing her.
“Hmph!” Zhan Qiuyun snorted coldly.
She knew Chu Xi’s personality well enough to be confident that this matter would remain buried within her. But as for Xiao Dong …
Her gaze turned to Xiao Dong, full of disdain. She’d considered disposing of him before, but Yang Chen had stopped her. This time, however, she had a perfect excuse to eliminate him.
“Xiao Dong, you disrupted my cultivation. Today, you shall not be allowed to leave!” Zhan Qiuyun said coldly.
Killing Chu Xi would be a pity, but Xiao Dong was another matter altogether—a suitable target for venting her anger.
“Master, please, I beg you to spare Xiao Dong! I swear, we didn’t see anything today, and we won’t dare to utter a single word of it in the future!” Chu Xi immediately pleaded.
Though she had argued with Xiao Dong earlier, causing a heated exchange between them, upon hearing her Master’s intent to kill him, she instinctively stood up to beg for his life.
“Hmph, you can barely save yourself, and you’re begging on his behalf? Who do you think you are? Had I not decided to spare you because of your Celestial Purple Physique, you would already be a corpse!” With a flick of her wrist, Zhan Qiuyun sent Chu Xi flying several meters, landing right in front of Yang Chen.
“Junior Sister Chu Xi, are you alright?” Yang Chen quickly helped her up.
“Senior Brother Yang …” Chu Xi looked at him with a complex expression, she hadn’t expected that Senior Brother Yang would have such a relationship with her Master.
Thinking it over filled her with sadness and disappointment. But she quickly pushed these feelings aside and said, “Senior Brother Yang, please … please plead with Master to spare Xiao Dong! I can guarantee that Xiao Dong will never reveal a single word of what happened today!”
“Junior Sister Chu Xi, don’t worry. Xiao Dong will be fine!” Yang Chen reassured her, patting her shoulder gently. He then walked over to Zhan Qiuyun.
“Martial Aunt, let it go. It’s really not that serious! No need to escalate matters! Let the pure be pure and untroubled by idle gossip!”
“Silence!” Zhan Qiuyun glared at Yang Chen furiously.
This little scoundrel was indeed a handful. Of all times to break through, he had to do it now. He may not care about appearances, but she certainly did. Even if this incident didn’t spread, she still wanted to silence anyone who had witnessed it.
“Xiao Dong, quickly kneel and apologize to Master!” Seeing that her Master had not yet acted, thanks to Yang Chen’s intercession, Chu Xi hurriedly urged Xiao Dong.
Though cold sweat poured down Xiao Dong’s face, within him burned a furious fire.
“Zhan Qiuyun, you vile woman! The revered Master of Youyue Peak, a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, behaving so shamefully with her own nephew! Where is your pride—do you only show it when dealing with me? Now that I’ve witnessed it, you want to kill me to keep it quiet? Wretched, vile woman! When I complete my training, I’ll make sure you regret it—I’ll make you kneel before me every day!”
While he raged inwardly, he knew he had no choice but to kneel, lest he lose his life.
“Martial Aunt, let it go. For my sake, spare Junior Brother Xiao Dong. After all, he’s my brother-in-law. Even when disciplining a dog, one respects the owner.” Yang Chen’s words caused Xiao Dong, who was kneeling, to contort with rage.
“Yang Chen, I swear I’ll have my revenge!” He roared inwardly, seething with hatred.
If he had the power, he would not tolerate such humiliation. If he had the power, he would dismember Yang Chen and make Zhan Qiuyun, that vile woman, suffer thoroughly.
Ding!
[Xiao Dong has knelt in humiliation, his mental state shattered. He has lost 1,500 points of Providence Luck. The host has received 1,500 VPs!]
