After the Villain Transmigrates, He Refuses to Break Off the Engagement with the Female Lead - Chapter 3:

Chapter 3: Favorability 100, Draw a Prize!

Lin Yu’s warning not only intimidated the Purple Firmament Heaven Domain but also frightened the scheming members of the Su Family.

Su Mei had originally planned to snatch a few valuable things from Su Yao’s hands. After all, she had done similar things countless times over the years. But with Lin Yu’s display of power, she had to think twice about her next move. What if she really did steal something, and Su Yao turned around to complain to Lin Yu?

Su Mei gritted her teeth, barely suppressing her urge to act. However, the resentment in her heart festered like a poisonous swamp, spreading endlessly. Why should Su Yao be allowed to have such an engagement? That useless woman didn’t deserve it! One day, she would make Lin Yu hers and force Su Yao to kneel at her feet in despair and beg for mercy.

At the Su Residence, Su Yao’s mother held her daughter’s hand tightly, her tone full of emotion. She said, “This time, it’s all thanks to Young Master Lin. His actions not only silenced the petty ones but also shut the mouths of the gossipers. From now on, who would dare to question your engagement? Who would dare to look down on the Su Family?”

A warmth rose in Su Yao’s chest, dispelling the gloom in her heart. She said softly, “I never thought he would go this far for me.”

Ever since her cultivation had stagnated, Su Yao had experienced all kinds of cold stares and ridicule. Aside from her mother, Lin Yu was the first person to show her warmth and kindness. Even though she hadn’t cared much about the engagement at first, at this moment, regardless of whether she loved Lin Yu or not, she truly felt grateful to him. And in that gratitude were some faint and indescribable feelings even she couldn’t explain clearly.

Meanwhile, in the carriage, Lin Yu sat comfortably, feeling satisfied. Back at the Su Family, he had intentionally released a powerful aura—not just to intimidate those petty people but also to raise his favorability with Su Yao. He thought to himself, “This time, the return should be pretty good. Su Yao’s shocked yet grateful expression… tsk, tsk, that should at least be worth a few hundred points of favorability.”

Just as he was thinking this, a pleasant voice rang in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host. Su Yao’s favorability has reached 100. You may perform one lottery draw!]

Lin Yu’s eyes lit up with joy. He immediately commanded in his mind, [Draw!]

In an instant, a massive wheel appeared in his consciousness. The colorful pointer spun rapidly before gradually stopping on a golden section.

[Heaven-grade Technique: Ninefold Golden Body Art]

Lin Yu exclaimed in excitement, “Damn! A Heaven-grade Technique!”

This was something priceless—something one could only hope to encounter by chance! He quickly examined the technique’s description.

[Ninefold Golden Body Art. When mastered, it allows one to attack without relying on spiritual Qi. A single strike equals the power of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm! It also strengthens the body, making it indestructible and impervious to all laws—an ultimate technique for both offense and defense!]

[This technique is the advanced version of the Ninefold Thunderclap Art obtained by the Child of Destiny, Su Yao, in the Secret Realm. Its power far surpasses the original version when mastered.]

Lin Yu’s eyes gleamed. This was perfect! Pure offense and defense at their peak! He could already imagine himself mastering it, sweeping through the Eight Desolations and looking down upon the world with pride.

As he reveled in the fantasy, a sigh beside him broke his thoughts. A clansman said, “Young Master Lin, after what you did today, it might be difficult to explain when you return…”

Lin Yu frowned slightly and looked at him curiously. “Oh? What do you mean?”

The clansman said helplessly, “The Patriarch and the Clan Elders have already arranged a new marriage for you—with the Saintess of the Heavenly Mountain Sect. They were just waiting for you to withdraw from the engagement. But now, not only did you refuse, you even publicly declared your affection for Su Yao. What will the Saintess think of this?”

Lin Yu hadn’t expected that. But he thought, so what? He’d deal with it when it came. Besides, none of that mattered compared to securing the female lead’s favor.

He patted the clansman’s shoulder and said casually, “Alright, I’ll handle it. You don’t need to worry.”

Things would naturally work themselves out. The original Lin Yu had such a powerful position in the Ninefold Sacred Domain—the Sect Master wouldn’t dare kill him, right?

Unfortunately, reality was far harsher than imagination.

By the time Lin Yu’s actions at the Su Family spread across the Central State, the uproar had already reached the Ninefold Sacred Domain. The moment he stepped into the Grand Hall, a thunderous roar shook the air.

“Lin Yu, kneel before me!”

The voice reverberated like thunder, making his eardrums ache. Lin Yu grimaced and looked up, only to see Sect Master Lin Xiaotian—his clan’s Patriarch—sitting on the high platform, his expression dark with rage, exuding an overwhelming pressure.

Lin Yu instantly realized the situation was bad, though his face remained calm. He walked steadily to the center of the hall, dropped to one knee, and cupped his hands respectfully. “Greetings, Sect Master.”

“You still remember I’m the Sect Master?” Lin Xiaotian’s fury erupted as he slammed the table, shaking the entire hall. “Do you admit your mistake for what you did at the Su Family today?”

Lin Yu raised his head, meeting Lin Xiaotian’s gaze fearlessly. “I do not. I like Su Yao and have adored her since childhood. We are engaged, and I must give her a rightful status—a place she can depend on.”

“Foolish!” Lin Xiaotian roared, “The Lin Family needs a capable wife who can strengthen the clan, not a burden! You possess the dual pupils and limitless potential—how can you let yourself be bound by petty emotions?”

Lin Yu’s lips twitched slightly. Just as he was about to respond, an irritatingly mocking voice chimed in, “Sect Master, Lin Yu’s actions are truly unwise.”

Lin Yu turned toward the voice and saw a man dressed flamboyantly with a faintly effeminate face and a smug smile—Feng Qi, his rival for the position of Young Sect Master of the Ninefold Sacred Domain.

Feng Qi said with a cold smirk, “He made such a commotion over a useless woman. He’s clearly unfit for greater responsibilities.”

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes. This damned sissy was really asking for it.

Feng Qi continued, fanning the flames, “Besides, the Su Family is already declining. If Lin Yu marries her, wouldn’t he drag our Lin Family into ruin? I suggest confining him for reflection.”

Lin Yu sneered and shot back, “Feng Qi, stop trying to sow discord. I don’t need you to lecture me on what I should or shouldn’t do.”

Lin Xiaotian’s expression darkened even further as he watched the two glare at each other. He thought to himself, Lin Yu is still too young, too impulsive. After a moment of silence, he said coldly, “Lin Yu, do you admit your mistake? If not, I’ll send you to the Reflection Cliff!”

Lin Yu’s mind stirred. If he remembered correctly, Reflection Cliff was a place that suppressed spiritual Qi—a confinement area for punishment within the Ninefold Sacred Domain. For most, it was a bitter, freezing place, no different from a prison.

But for him, it was the perfect opportunity. The Heaven-grade Technique he’d just obtained required an environment devoid of spiritual Qi for cultivation.

How convenient!

Thinking this, Lin Yu stood upright and said firmly, “Everything I’ve done is what my heart desires! As for punishment, I accept it willingly!”
