An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad-Chapter 182

Chapter 182

Xiao Dong’s fervent, longing gaze was subtle, but as a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, Zhan Qiuyun’s primordial spirit was immensely powerful. She sharply sensed his glance.

A hint of coldness flickered in her eyes. However, she didn’t lash out immediately, but rather lifted her palm gently, dispersing the restraining qi handprint that prevented Xiao Dong from standing.

Xiao Dong felt his entire body lighten, and quickly stood up. A sense of pride rose in his heart. Surely, his master must have sensed that the essence of his Pure Yang Sacred Physique was beginning to coalesce, leading to this change in attitude toward him.

Heh heh. This old woman is quite fickle, indeed. But do you think that by doing this, I’ll forget the way you’ve ignored and scorned me before? Hmph, just wait. Once my cultivation is complete, the first thing I’ll do is make you, the high and mighty Master of Youyue Peak, my slave beneath me! Then, I’ll have you kneel before me in that moon-patterned robe. And after that … heh heh.

Xiao Dong imagined the scene that would unfold in the future, feeling utterly refreshed. Then, he returned his mind to the present.

“Master, my sister should be allowed to choose her own Dao companion! Besides, this Yang Chen has only known my sister for barely over ten days. They’re not even familiar with each other! So, I hope Master won’t force this matter!”

As Xiao Dong spoke, he channeled the nascent essence of his Pure Yang Sacred Physique. A layer of searing white light began to radiate from his body. But to Zhan Qiuyun, his actions merely drew a faintly amused smile from her lips.

“Xiao Dong, since you believe your sister should choose her own Dao companion, very well, I’ll grant you this face. Chu Xi, I’ll only ask you this once! Are you willing to take Yang Chen as your Dao companion?”

Hearing this, Xiao Dong’s face lit up with unrestrained joy. Since his master was letting his sister decide, there was no way she would agree to be with Yang Chen. After all, she’d only known that scoundrel Yang Chen for a little over ten days, and most of those days she’d been helping him with his source condensation, barely interacting with him. So, she would certainly refuse.

With hope in his eyes, Xiao Dong looked toward Chu Xi.

At that moment, Chu Xi’s cheeks flushed red, and she couldn’t help but curse Xiao Dong for meddling. Of course, she was willing to be Yang Chen’s Dao companion. Senior Brother Yang was so graceful and handsome, like an immortal descended. His cultivation was strong, his talent extraordinary, and he was humble and polite. And just now, he had even saved her life.  A match like this was hard to come by in this world.

When her master brought it up, she had only to follow her master’s orders, but now, with Xiao Dong interfering, she had to say it herself. This … was so much more embarrassing.

Chu Xi’s heartbeat quickened, her beautiful eyes secretly glancing at Yang Chen. If she agreed directly, would Senior Brother Yang mock her?

No, surely he wouldn’t. Senior Brother Yang isn’t that kind of person.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Chu Xi’s mind.

“Sister, answer quickly!” Seeing his sister remain silent, Xiao Dong couldn’t help but urge her.

Hearing his voice, Chu Xi snapped back to reality. First, she gave Xiao Dong an annoyed glare. Then, with her head lowered, she softly replied:

“Master, I … I am willing!”

“Wha… what!?” Xiao Dong was stunned upon hearing this. His eyes widened in shock. His sister … was willing? How could that be!? She had only known that Yang Chen for ten days. What could have possibly made her want to be his Dao companion!? That scoundrel Yang Chen, what spell did he put on her?

Xiao Dong’s face immediately turned an ashen gray.

Meanwhile, a slight smile appeared on Yang Chen’s lips. Chu Xi’s agreement was entirely within his expectations. After all, Chu Xi had already shown her interest in him several times, and after he had saved her just now, her heart was truly captivated.

Yang Chen turned and walked to Chu Xi’s side.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi!”

“Senior Brother … Yang!” Chu Xi’s voice trembled, her gaze downcast, unable to meet his eyes. The blush on her cheeks and neck revealed her intense shyness.

Yang Chen knew exactly what he should do at this moment. So, he reached out and drew Chu Xi into his arms.

“Ah!” Chu Xi let out a soft cry, completely unprepared for Senior Brother Yang to embrace her so suddenly.

Did this mean that Senior Brother Yang … liked her as well?

Feeling his hand resting on her lower back and her body pressed tightly against his chest, even sensing the strong beating of his heart, the blush on Chu Xi’s face deepened until it seemed it could drip blood.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi, from now on, we are Dao companions, and I will take good care of you! In this life, I will not fail you!” Yang Chen whispered softly into her ear, his warm breath brushing her delicate earlobe, causing her body to tremble slightly.

“Senior Brother … Yang!” Chu Xi’s beautiful eyes grew misty as she gazed at Yang Chen, full of deep affection, as though her love would soon overflow like a spring breeze. Unable to hold back any longer, she wrapped her delicate arms around his strong waist, her flushed cheek pressed against his chest.

“This little scoundrel has some impressive moves!” Watching the scene, a slight smile curved Zhan Qiuyun’s lips.

The crowd of cultivators observing also couldn’t help but notice, clearly seeing that Fairy Chu Xi held deep affection for Yang Chen. After all, such a scene of deep affection couldn’t be faked.

In the crowd, only Xiao Dong wore a frighteningly dark expression, his face contorted with fury, a steely hue. Clenching his fists tightly, veins pulsed on his forehead.

His sister had not only accepted … but was now embracing that scoundrel so deeply.

Why?

His sister had only known that scoundrel Yang Chen for ten days, how could she …? The more Xiao Dong thought, the more twisted his expression became. He had always been confident that he, her brother, was the most important man in his sister’s heart. For his sake, she was willing to abandon everything, even her life.

But now, right before his eyes, she’d thrown herself into another man’s arms.

“Unforgivable! Damn it! Damn it all!”

[Ding! Chu Xi has agreed to become the host’s Dao companion, embracing the host with deep affection, causing Xiao Dong’s mental state to crumble and damaging his Dao heart. Plundering 3000 points of Providence Luck. The host has gained 3,000 VPs.]

Hearing the system’s mechanical voice, Yang Chen’s lips curled in a pleased smile. Another 3,000 VPs collected. It seemed this display had truly shaken Xiao Dong deeply.

If that’s the case … Heh heh heh.

Yang Chen glanced at Xiao Dong, then tightened his grip around Chu Xi’s waist, pulling her even closer. The softness against his chest became more apparent, and Yang Chen couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Junior Sister Chu Xi truly has … substance.
