I Am the Ultimate Villain, So What If I Kill a Protagonist - Chapter 4:
Chapter 4:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission of giving the female lead Chen Xue an unforgettable gift and forcibly breaking off the engagement. The host has obtained 3,000 villain points and one Meridian-Reforging Bone Pill.]
[Note: The Meridian-Reforging Bone Pill can improve the human skeletal structure and enhance aptitude. For those below the Transformation Realm, it can increase strength.]
The moment he returned to the villa, Chu Yuan received the system’s reward.
He was quite satisfied with it.
More importantly, he had severely taught Chen Xue a lesson and avenged the original owner.
As for Chen Xue being the female lead, Chu Yuan only had one attitude: If he said she was, then she was. If he said she was not, then she was nothing but a dog.
Although the Meridian-Reforging Bone Pill was useless to him at the 1st stage Transformation Realm, it was useful to Zuo Shishi.
“This is for you.”
Zuo Shishi’s loyalty to him was unquestionable, and there would be many matters he needed her to handle in the future.
So Chu Yuan did not mind helping her improve her strength.
Zuo Shishi already possessed the 1st stage Hidden Force Realm. That was not to be underestimated.
At only twenty-two years old, reaching such a level made her a true genius.
Although she was not at the same level as the protagonist Lin Tianyang, she was younger.
In terms of martial talent, she did not lose to the protagonist at all and might even surpass him.
Moreover, as the protagonist, Lin Tianyang’s resources far exceeded Zuo Shishi’s.
To put it bluntly, Lin Tianyang’s current strength was inseparable from his powerful master and the large number of medicinal materials he had consumed over the years.
Zuo Shishi looked at the pill in her hand, glanced at Chu Yuan, and swallowed it without hesitation.
“You didn’t even ask what it was before eating it. Aren’t you worried I might harm you?”
“From the time I can remember, I swore loyalty to the Chu Family. My Zuo Family has served the Chu Family for generations. Even if you wanted to kill me, I would never resist.”
Zuo Shishi had grown up in the Chu Family. Her father was the Chief Steward of the original owner’s father.
And Chu Yuan knew from the original plotline how loyal this father and daughter were to the Chu Family.
That was why he trusted Zuo Shishi without hesitation.
“What is this?”
The medicinal effect of the Meridian-Reforging Bone Pill soon took effect.
A layer of dark grime emerged on Zuo Shishi’s body. It was the result of cleansing her meridians and marrow, expelling toxins and promoting bone development.
The powerful surge of energy directly pushed her from the 1st stage Hidden Force Realm to the late stage Hidden Force Realm.
Her realm had improved just like that?
Not only was Zuo Shishi stunned, even Chu Yuan was startled.
The speed of her advancement was faster than drinking water.
However, the layer of grime covering her body made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Zuo Shishi was a clean woman, especially in front of Chu Yuan.
Even with her calm temperament, she now looked slightly embarrassed.
“Go wash up in the bathroom first.”
Zuo Shishi nodded quickly, as if relieved of a burden.
As she walked toward the bathroom, she paused, turned around, and said, “Thank you.”
That thank you carried more warmth than usual, and the coldness on her face softened slightly.
This was the first time since staying by Chu Yuan’s side that Zuo Shishi had spoken to him so politely.
She did not know how valuable that pill was, but it was certainly extremely precious.
The fact that Chu Yuan had given such a pill to her touched her deeply.
“If you want to thank me, words alone won’t be enough. Help me more in the future.”
As Chu Yuan’s personal assistant, there were many things he would entrust to her.
“Sit down and chat with me.”
After inviting Zuo Shishi to sit, Chu Yuan turned on the television.
Although he appeared to be watching TV, his gaze remained on Zuo Shishi.
With one arm, he gently pulled her slim waist and drew her into his embrace.
Zuo Shishi froze for a moment but did not resist.
Chu Yuan was not in a hurry to do anything further. He was not that desperate. He simply wanted to hold her.
He understood that even if he did something more excessive, Zuo Shishi would not resist.
However, she still needed time to adapt so that things could proceed naturally.
When she realized he had no further intentions, Zuo Shishi finally let out a quiet breath of relief.
His actions did feel somewhat awkward to her now, but she would grow accustomed to it.
That was exactly the effect he wanted.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Yuan could not even sit still for thirty minutes.
But now, with a beauty in his arms, time seemed to fly.
During this time, Chu Yuan was also thinking about his next move.
Although Chen Xue was the female lead, in Chu Yuan’s eyes she was nothing more than an insignificant figure.
With his current strength, crushing her would be easier than stepping on an ant.
He had no interest in wasting too much energy on her.
The protagonist Lin Tianyang, however, was different. When he descended from the mountain, he should already have been at the mid stage Hidden Force Realm, practicing Dual Cultivation of Medicine and Martial Arts.
Among the younger generation, he indeed had some ability.
More importantly, he had a terrifying master who, according to the original plotline, was likely a Transformation Realm expert.
With his superb medical skills and martial prowess, countless people had received his favor.
Now, all of that had become Lin Tianyang’s backing.
“The protagonist is truly the protagonist. Others start as foot soldiers and level up step by step. He, on the other hand, comes down the mountain with resources ready and powerful backers arranging everything for him.”
Chu Yuan let out a cold laugh, yet his expression remained calm.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter how many hidden cards one possessed, it was meaningless.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for triggering a Random Mission. The protagonist Lin Tianyang is about to descend from the mountain to gain experience. As the Ultimate Villain, how could you not give him a warm welcome?]
[The host should prepare a creative meeting gift and openly frame the protagonist, causing him to be arrested.]
[Mission reward: 3,000 villain points and one random item.]
A gift for Lin Tianyang?
That was interesting.
A meeting gift was indeed necessary. Otherwise, it would seem impolite.
As for how to proceed, one must not forget that Chu Yuan was not only the ultimate villain but also the young master of the Chu Family in Magic City.
He truly could not understand how the original owner, as the young master of the Chu Family with unimaginable resources at his disposal, had failed to crush a protagonist who had just descended from the mountain.
Yet the result had been that every scheme was resolved by the protagonist, and in the end, the Chu Family was destroyed.
With the power of the Chu Family, a mere flick of a finger would be enough to suppress Lin Tianyang.
“Little bunny, open the door…”
A ringtone interrupted Chu Yuan’s thoughts.
“Mom’s calling. Has someone been whispering in her ear?”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chu Yuan’s lips.
“Hello, Mom. What’s the matter?”
“Yuan’er, we’ve received word from the Chen Family that you slapped Xue’er and want to break off the engagement. What exactly is going on?”
The voice on the other end sounded stern, clearly suspecting that her son was causing trouble again.
