The Villain Who Slapped the Heroines Until They Begged to Marry Him - Chapter 8:

Chapter 8: A Very Special Item:

In the past, if Yang Lu saw that Lin Xiaohan was calling him, he would have jumped for joy. But now, he felt nothing, and to be honest, he was a little annoyed.

He immediately hung up the call.

‘Doesn’t she know you’re not supposed to be on the phone while driving?’

Ding.

“Tonight at 8pm, Little Greens Restaurant. Don’t be late.”

Barely a moment after he hung up, Lin Xiaohan sent him a text message. Was this woman out of her mind? He had slapped her earlier today, and now she was inviting him to dinner? She must be crazy.

[Ding. System Mission: Accept Lin Xiaohan’s dinner invitation. Complete the task to receive a reward.]

Just as he was planning to ignore her and focus on driving, the system’s voice rang out.

“Looks like I have to go to this dinner after all.”

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Brilliant Group, Lin Xiaohan wore a frosty expression.

“Damn it, not only did he ignore my call, but he’s also not replying to my text!”

She was extremely frustrated. She had mustered the courage to reach out to Yang Lu herself, expecting him to pick up immediately. Instead, he’d hung up on her and was now ignoring her message.

But then a hint of sadness crossed her face. Maybe he was genuinely angry this time? She had to admit, she might have gone a bit overboard before. But he’d slapped her! Surely he couldn’t still be angry, could he? As she anxiously debated this, her phone buzzed.

Ding.

[Okay.]

Seeing his one-word reply, Lin Xiaohan’s heart leapt with joy.

“I knew you wouldn’t ignore me!” She smiled brightly. He still cared for her. Now she needed to pick the perfect outfit—one he’d absolutely love.

“She’s gone mad… She must have lost her mind!”

Her secretary, Xiao Zhang, stood by, dumbfounded. Had the slap knocked some sense out of her? Why would she be excited about having dinner with someone who’d treated her so poorly? And why look so disappointed when he didn’t text back?

Xiao Zhang felt like her entire worldview had just been turned upside down.

…

“Where are you taking me? Are you planning to kill me?”

As the car sped up, Zhou Suyun realized they were getting further from the city center, and a wave of fear washed over her. Where was he taking her? But her anger flared as she noticed he was ignoring her.

[System, draw the lottery!]

Yang Lu wasn’t interested in Zhou Suyun’s questions. He was too eager to use the lottery tickets he’d earned after slapping her.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 1,000 villain points.]

“Nice! At this rate, I’ll be able to take down Zhao Ritian in no time. Excellent!”

He hadn’t expected villain points to come up as a reward. Now, with an additional 1,000 points, his total villain points were around 3,000. Soon, he’d surpass Zhao Ritian’s protagonist points, and once he did, he’d be able to kill him without fear of a plot backlash.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have reached the 4th stage Nine Yang Divine Art.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Kneel skill.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have received one special item, with a total of six parts.]

The triple rewards didn’t disappoint. Reaching the 4th level Nine Yang Divine Art so quickly was something even most urban fantasy protagonists couldn’t dream of. Yang Lu felt a surge of heat wash over him, flowing through his body and pooling in his dantian.

Although he’d already fought Zhou Suyun’s henchmen, this upgrade left him feeling at his peak.

“Kneel skill? Duration is 10 minutes, requires the target to be within half a meter, and can only be used once a day…”

Yang Lu read the description of the third reward, a skill. The Kneel skill could instantly make a person drop to their knees. However, it came with restrictions on distance, duration, and frequency. And the worst part? It consumed 200 villain points each time he used it.

For someone always short on villain points, it seemed a bit wasteful.

“System, what’s this special item? Why doesn’t it have a name?”

Yang Lu was intrigued by his final prize. The system only labeled it as a “special item,” with no specific name or description. And there was another detail: this item had six parts, meaning he currently only held one-sixth of it. He had been about to praise the system, but now he had second thoughts.

[Host, this special item is indeed unique. You’ll need all six parts to unlock its full description. But I assure you, it will be very useful.]

“Fine, don’t tell me then. I don’t care.”

He rolled his eyes, amused by the system’s secrecy. Playing hard to get, huh? How cheeky.

Screech.

“Miss Zhou, we’ve arrived!”

The next moment, Yang Lu slammed on the brakes and turned to Zhou Suyun. She’d been pestering him about where they were going, and now they had arrived. He was sure she’d be “thrilled” by their destination.

Zhou Suyun looked out the window, her face instantly turning pale.
