An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 76



“However, if the gracious Lady Zhao allows me to absorb the Profound Yin Qi, not only will the symptoms be resolved, but you will also be able to break through to the Soul Transformation realm in the future!”

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Zhao Shirou fell silent.

“But the absorption of the Profound Yin Qi requires sexual intercourse!”

“That’s right!”

Yang Chen quickly nodded.

“That’s also the reason why I proposed for you to become my Dao companion! If the gracious Lady Zhao wants to resolve the Profound Yin Qi in her body, she must take this step! There’s no other way, you can only blame Li Tengshen. He made you cultivate the Triple Yin Convergence Technique and accumulate Profound Yin Qi, treating you as nothing more than a furnace! Ordinary fire cultivators would also treat you as a furnace to absorb from!

“But I possess a Primordial Fire, which can refine the Profound Yin Qi in your body, forming a kind of dual cultivation effect, benefiting both of us! So, gracious Lady Zhao, think it over carefully! Become my Dao companion, and Hao’er will be my stepson. I can guarantee his safety! Otherwise, even if I don’t kill him, with his talent, will others just let him grow unhindered?”

As he spoke, Yang Chen placed the unconscious Hao’er not far from them.

Looking at the unconscious Hao’er, then at the hint of smugness and anticipation in Yang Chen’s eyes, Zhao Shirou clenched her jade fists.

This bastard.

He was truly a despicable person, taking advantage of others’ difficulties!

But thinking carefully … What he said made some sense.

The harm caused by the Profound Yin Qi was indeed great.

Every night, she felt as if she was in an ice cellar.

On full moon nights, the cold was unbearable, to the point of passing out.

If this continued, the Profound Yin Qi would indeed endanger her life.

In the past, she thought it was just her physical condition.

She could only resign herself to fate.

But now, this bastard possessed a Primordial Fire, which might indeed be able to refine the extreme cold within the Profound Yin Qi, eliminating her symptoms.

Moreover, Hao’er had awakened a terrifying bloodline and reached the Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm in just three years, with boundless potential in the future.

Whether it was the Xuantian Sect or the cultivating forces within the Kingdom of Liyang, none would let him live freely. If he had the protection of this bastard Yang Chen, he would be much safer.

Damn it! Does this mean I’ll have to agree to become his Dao companion? Agree to become his … Dao companion?

Zhao Shirou’s heart was extremely conflicted.

She felt angry, hateful and helpless.

But in the end, she sighed.

She had made her decision.

“I, I can agree to you! But you must guarantee Hao’er’s safety! And our relationship cannot be casually spoken of!”

“Gracious Lady Zhao, rest assured, I am a man of my word! Once you become my Dao companion, Hao’er will be my stepson. Within the sphere of the Xuantian Sect, who would dare touch Yang Chen’s son!?”

Yang Chen stated solemnly, but a hint of amusement flickered across his lips.

Like Yan’er before.

After becoming his stepson, if Yang Chen didn’t take action, who would dare kill him?

Hao’er, oh Hao’er.

You never expected this, did you?

After just one sleep, you gained a stepfather.

Hahaha.

You’ll definitely be very happy to know.

“You, don’t put it like that!” Hearing this, Zhao Shirou’s face flushed slightly.

In her heart, she felt extremely ashamed. She had actually agreed to this despicable person, Yang Chen’s threat. To become his Dao companion!

How shameful.

But hopefully when Hao’er finds out, he’ll understand me, his mother. After all, it was a compromise I made so that he could live.

Alas.

At this time.

Xu Hui and a few Nascent Soul cultivators walked into the main hall.

“Holy Son! The remaining Nascent Soul cultivator and some Golden Core cultivators of the Liyang Royal Family have all been brought under control!” Xu Hui bowed and said.

Behind him stood a few Nascent Soul cultivators, who all bowed together:

“We pay our respects to the Holy Son!”

These Nascent Soul cultivators ranged from Stages one to three.

They were the patriarchs of the top cultivating clans in the capital of Liyang, second only to the Liyang Royal Family. But now, seeing the ruler of Liyang, Li Zhan, lying dead on the ground as a corpse, they all felt a chill.

Li Zhan was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yet he died like this, silently without a commotion.

This Holy Son’s strength was terrifyingly powerful.

“Patriarchs, the strongest expert of the Liyang Royal Family three hundred years ago, Li Tengshen, did not actually die but was hiding in the royal palace all along. He even reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm! Li Tengshen colluded with the Wind Thunder Sect, intending to eliminate the Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion and the major cultivating forces, so as to completely defect to the Wind Thunder Sect! I, the Holy Son, learned of this from Lady Zhao and reluctantly took action to slay him!” Yang Chen said solemnly.

“What?!” The Nascent Soul cultivators were all stunned upon hearing this.

“Li Tengshen didn’t die?”

“Back then, I saw with my own eyes him sitting in meditation!”

“This old fellow’s concealment was so deep!”

“Yet we were in the same capital city for three hundred years without noticing!”

“And that old man even reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm!”

“Many thanks to the Holy Son for taking action!”

“If not for the Holy Son, we would surely have met a tragic death at the hands of that old traitor Li Tengshen!”

“That treacherous old man was wildly ambitious, his death is no great loss. The Holy Son has rid Liyang of a great scourge!”

“The Holy Son has bestowed a great kindness upon us, from now on we will swear eternal allegiance to the Xuantian Sect and the Holy Son!”

The Nascent Soul cultivators spoke up one after another, cursing Li Tengshen on one hand, and expressing loyalty to Yang Chen on the other.

On the side, Zhao Shirou angrily gritted her silvery teeth, her willow brows furrowed as her chest heaved.

This bastard was truly shameless and despicable.

He lied so casually.

When had she ever said those things?

It was clearly his premeditated scheme from the very start. Scheming against someone and taking advantage of them when they were vulnerable.

How hateful!

At this moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator said: “Holy Son, this subordinate believes we should uproot the weed completely! Why not exterminate all members of the Liyang Royal Family? That way, we can eliminate any future troubles!”

“Correct, I agree as well!”

“Although Li Tengshen and Li Zhan have been killed, the Liyang Royal Family still possesses great power. If they rebel, it would be extremely troublesome!”

“And this Hao’er, he reached the Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm in just three years. Such a cultivation speed, the Holy Son should be wary!”
