An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad-Chapter 193

Chapter 193

Feeling the stinging pain on his cheek, Xiao Dong looked at her in disbelief. His sister had actually slapped him! Growing up, no matter what trouble he caused, his sister had never once hit him. And today, she had slapped him for that bastard Yang Chen!

Xiao Dong gritted his teeth. He would remember this slap. But someday, he would make that bastard Yang Chen pay it back in full. He believed his sister had only treated him this way because Yang Chen had bewitched her.

Damn bastard. One day, I will tear you to pieces.

At this moment, Yang Chen hurried over, his voice full of reproach.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi, what are you doing?”

“Senior Brother Yang, he insulted me, but I won’t tolerate him speaking disrespectfully to you!” Chu Xi replied quickly.

The slap was partly to teach Xiao Dong a lesson, but more importantly, it was to protect him. Senior Brother Yang was a cultivator in the Soul Transformation Realm, and her master valued him greatly. If Yang Chen were truly angered, Xiao Dong would be in grave danger. So, she had taken it upon herself to slap Xiao Dong, hoping it would appease Yang Chen.

But Yang Chen only shrugged it off.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi, Xiao Dong is your brother, so he’s my brother too. He’s young, and I won’t hold it against him! Besides, we’re family now!”

“Senior Brother Yang, you’re so kind!” Chu Xi’s voice was full of emotion.

She wanted to throw herself into Yang Chen’s arms again but held back, glancing at Xiao Dong’s dark expression. Even so, the tender affection in her eyes was impossible to conceal.

[Ding! The Host’s feigned kindness has led to Xiao Dong being slapped by his sister, further damaging his mental state. The Host has plundered 1000 points of Providence Luck from Xiao Dong, the Son of Destiny, and gained 1000 VPs!]

Hmm? Yang Chen’s smile widened slightly. Another thousand villain points. Not bad at all. This feeling of winning over the sister right in front of the protagonist … truly exhilarating.

One month later, the Burial Sword Mountain in the Heavenly Dao Holy Land opened.

Over the past month, Yang Chen absorbed a significant amount of solar energy, advancing his strength further to reach the fifth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. He also helped Chu Xi break through to enter the Nascent Soul Realm.

Inside the wooden hut, Chu Xi finished her secluded cultivation. Compared to a month prior, her aura had grown several times stronger. The breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm added a touch of ethereal charm to her, making her appearance even more enchanting. Especially her eyes, which had transformed into a faint purple, adding a mysterious aura.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit captivated as he looked at her.

“Senior Brother Yang, I’m so grateful to you! I lingered at the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm for a full ten years, and now I’ve finally broken through!” Chu Xi’s face was filled with excitement.

With her strength reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, she might not be among the top in the third generation of disciples at Heavenly Dao Holy Land, but she was at least respectable. This way, standing beside Senior Brother Yang, she wouldn’t feel too inferior.

Otherwise, others wouldn’t think of her as his Dao Companion but would see her as his servant girl.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi, your talent was already exceptional; logically, you should have entered the Nascent Soul Realm much earlier! I believe it’s because you spent these past years taking care of Xiao Dong, neglecting your own cultivation, which delayed your breakthrough.” Yang Chen said with a smile.

“Perhaps so!” Chu Xi nodded, her expression a bit bitter.

Maybe Senior Brother Yang was right. She had been caring for Xiao Dong over the years and neglected her cultivation.

But Xiao Dong, he … Sigh.

Every time she thought of that incident from a month ago, her chest felt tight. But at least, she had Senior Brother Yang. Looking at Yang Chen’s handsome face, Chu Xi’s eyes were full of tender affection.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi, didn’t you just say you wanted to thank me?”

At that moment, Yang Chen embraced Chu Xi from behind, speaking softly beside her ear.

Chu Xi’s cheeks immediately turned warm.

“Senior, Senior Brother Yang, how do you …how do you want me to thank you?”

“What do you think?” A slight smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chen’s mouth.

Chu Xi’s cheeks instantly flushed red. She naturally understood what Senior Brother Yang meant. But … the Burial Sword Mountain was about to open soon.

If she did it now … at that time, she feared it might affect her. After some thought, Chu Xi apologized sincerely, “Senior Brother Yang, how about …we wait until we return from the Burial Sword Mountain? I’m worried it might affect me now!”

Hearing this, Yang Chen immediately smiled. Then, he whispered a few words into Chu Xi’s ear.

Chu Xi’s face turned a deep red.

Her expression was full of panic as she said, “Senior, Senior Brother Yang, isn’t that, isn’t that too embarrassing?”

“It’s fine; we’re Dao Companions! Or do you dislike me?” Yang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Chu Xi immediately panicked, saying: “No, no! How could I, how could I ever dislike Senior Brother Yang? Alright … alright then! I’ll listen to you, Senior Brother Yang!”

After saying this, Chu Xi knelt down.

Yang Chen inhaled sharply.

Hiss.

The Burial Sword Mountain.

It was considered a forbidden ground within Heavenly Dao Holy Land. Ordinarily, no disciples were allowed to enter. Only on the day it opens once every hundred years is entry permitted to seek swords. Therefore, each time the Burial Sword Mountain opened, it was a grand occasion in the Heavenly Dao Holy Land, drawing out many high-stage elders and peak masters from seclusion.

The Burial Sword Mountain was located in the far north of Heavenly Dao Holy Land, with a solitary mountain that towered straight into the sky like a divine sword reaching tens of thousands of feet high. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Upon close inspection, the mountain’s body was densely packed with ancient swords. Most were rusted and some were even deteriorating. However, after only a brief glance, Yang Chen felt a stabbing pain in his eyes.

“Senior Brother Yang, don’t look directly at the entire mountain; it could trigger an attack from the sword intent!”

Seeing his actions, Chu Xi quickly warned him and then explained: “It’s fortunate you possess the strength of the Soul Transformation Realm; if a Golden Core or Nascent Soul disciple were attacked by the sword intent from the mountain, they couldn’t withstand it!

“To obtain an ancient sword at the Burial Sword Mountain, you must release your own sword intent and align it with the sword intent of the mountain, only then can you gain the recognition of an ancient sword, commonly known as ‘Comprehending the Sword.’”

“Comprehending the Sword?”

“Exactly!” Chu Xi continued: “Below the Burial Sword Mountain is a Comprehension Ground, which is protected by formations, preventing attacks from the mountain’s sword intent! We should hurry over, or else the good spots will be taken!”

The two spoke as they walked toward the base of the Burial Sword Mountain.

Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance ahead.

“Why won’t you let me in? Am I not a disciple of Heavenly Dao Holy Land?”

“Are you really thinking that Youyue Peak is easy to bully? If I tell my master, the master of the Youyue peak, do you think you can handle the consequences?”
