I, the Villain, Realized That the Mother of the Chosen One of Destiny Is My Maid - Chapter 3:

Chapter 3: Winning Over Su Qingxue.

“Aunt Xue, you don’t need to worry about your reputation. After the treatment, I will marry you properly and won’t let you suffer any gossip.”

Lu Wuchen spoke sincerely.

He knew clearly that this young widow’s husband had been dead for more than ten years.

For more than ten years, she had never tasted true warmth. Her body and heart must have endured great torment. At such a time, he believed she would have little reason to refuse.

“No, no!”

Hearing his words, Su Qingxue was startled and waved her hands repeatedly.

How could a mere maid suddenly rise to the position of mistress?

“If Aunt Xue is unwilling, then when Master comes out of seclusion, I will seek her help for a 6th grade pill to treat your cold poison.”

“Your body cannot hold on for much longer. If Master remains in seclusion, I may have no choice but to force my way in.”

Lu Wuchen let out a sigh.

Seeing that she had not taken the bait, he decided to initiate Plan B. If the gentle approach failed, he would move to something stronger.

Hearing that he was willing to disturb Heavenly Mystic Peak’s Peak Master for her sake, Su Qingxue felt deeply moved.

Her heart and body had never felt as warm as they did today.

“Young Master, I am of humble status. How could I dare let you marry me?”

“Moreover, I already have a son. I fear you would despise me, so I would never dare to hope for more.”

“If you do not dislike me, Qingxue is willing to serve by your side for the rest of her life.”

She was only an ordinary widow, while he was the personal disciple of a Holy Land Peak Master. Their statuses were worlds apart.

Let alone becoming his principal wife, even becoming a concubine would be beyond her reach.

Being able to remain by his side forever would already satisfy her.

After all, this man had given her warmth she had never known.

Raising a son for security in old age was an illusion. Having someone who truly cared for her was worth more than anything.

Lu Wuchen was stunned.

He had spoken of curing the cold poison. How had that turned into entrusting a lifetime?

He had prepared Plan B, yet she was telling him Plan A had succeeded perfectly.

“To be honest, from the moment I first saw you, Aunt Xue, I was deeply drawn to you.”

“The rules of the secular world should not become chains binding us. Don’t you agree?”

Their eyes met. A faint spark flickered between them.

It needed only the slightest push to ignite into flame.

“Young Master, why do you still call me Aunt Xue? Just call me Qingxue.”

Su Qingxue lowered her head shyly.

He was right. If a person could not pursue the life they desired, what was the point of living?

The handsome man before her, refined and elegant, radiated a unique presence that captivated her deeply.

As an ordinary woman, and a widow at that, she had lived more than thirty years without ever tasting true fulfillment.

A woman at thirty is like a wolf, at forty like a tiger. She, too, longed for that warmth.

“Qingxue.”

Lu Wuchen could see his own reflection in her eyes.

As his image grew larger in her pupils, their lips pressed together tightly.

After a long while, their tongues parted and their lips separated.

“Grape-flavored.”

Lu Wuchen savored the taste.

Indeed, letting her eat all the grapes had been a wise decision.

“Young Master, you’re bad.”

Su Qingxue shyly tapped his chest with her small fist.

This kiss with him felt nothing like she had imagined.

“Qingxue, from today onward, I will no longer let you suffer from the cold poison.”

Lu Wuchen promised.

“Mm.”

She nodded gently.

Taking his outstretched hand, she followed him into the most luxurious room in the courtyard.

The process of treating the cold poison was extremely complicated and required the power of love to unlock.

…

“Young Master, the cold poison in my body seems to have completely dissipated.”

Su Qingxue exclaimed in surprise.

Feeling the icy chill vanish from her meridians, joy filled her heart.

Moreover, while checking the cold poison, she discovered that her long-stagnant cultivation had unexpectedly broken through.

Although it was only to the 4th stage Body Tempering Realm, it was enough to make her overjoyed.

Lu Wuchen glanced at her attribute panel and saw that her status had returned to normal. He let out a breath of relief.

As he had guessed, his divine body could indeed cure her cold poison.

“Don’t celebrate too soon. Although most of the cold poison has been removed, some remains deeply hidden. It will require multiple treatments.”

Lu Wuchen gently stroked her hair.

Moments ago, he had also experienced the joy of Cao’s legacy.

A ripe peach was indeed irresistible.

“Young Master, you’ve worked hard.”

“You absorbed the cold poison into your own body. Will it cause you harm?”

Resting against his firm chest, Su Qingxue asked worriedly.

If she recovered only for him to suffer instead, she would never know peace.

“It’s just a minor poison. Nothing serious.”

“However, Qingxue, judging by your condition, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Should I give you another treatment?”

He smiled mischievously as he stroked her hair.

“Young Master, no. Next time.”

Hearing his bold suggestion, Su Qingxue immediately begged for mercy.

The Young Master was too formidable.

“Very well. Qingxue, rest properly. Tomorrow I will continue the treatment and remove the remaining cold poison in one go.”

Lu Wuchen did not press further.

“Mm.”

The mature peach retreated contentedly beneath the blankets.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for capturing Su Qingxue’s heart and becoming the stepfather of the Chosen One. A large amount of the Chosen One’s luck value has been plundered.]

[Ding, reward: a large increase in cultivation; reward: one Explosive Poison Pellet; reward: Heaven-tier technique “Lightning Five Consecutive Whips”.]

As soon as the rewards arrived, Lu Wuchen felt his cultivation surge to the 5th stage Condensed Soul Realm.

It was countless times faster than painstaking cultivation.

[Explosive Poison Pellet: After ingestion, the host can trigger detonation at will. There is a 99.9% chance of instantly killing the one who consumes it.]

[Lightning Five Consecutive Whips: A Heaven-tier technique created by Master Ma. Five whips strike simultaneously, slaying gods and demons. Hidden trait: Those struck by Lightning Five Consecutive Whips will suffer a permanent reduction in cultivation talent.]

Lu Wuchen nodded in satisfaction.

The Explosive Poison Pellet was clearly prepared for someone specific.

As for Lightning Five Consecutive Whips, it was terrifying. It could permanently reduce an opponent’s cultivation talent.

Even the most gifted genius would become useless after a few strikes.

A Heaven-tier technique given out so casually. This was what a system should be.

If it were stingy, he would be embarrassed to admit he had a system.

The next day, after receiving another round of treatment from Lu Wuchen, Su Qingxue felt unprecedented clarity and vitality.

Ascending repeatedly was not something an ordinary person could endure.

Resting against his sturdy chest, she contemplated a serious issue.

Given Yang’er’s stubborn nature, he would surely oppose her remarriage.

In his mind, she should remain a widow for his deceased father for the rest of her life.

It seemed she could not tell Yang’er directly that she had found him a stepfather. It would have to be done gradually.

However, with a personal disciple of the Peak Master as his stepfather, Yang’er would surely suffer less bullying from his fellow disciples in the future.
