7: The heroine takes revenge, Jiang Lin retreats to advance

On the carriage.

Jiang Lin put away the ancient necklace and sighed.

As expected, the protagonist’s items weren’t so easy to obtain.

Even if he took it, he couldn’t use it.

The other party had already blood-refined it.

Unless Xiao Dong died, or he himself unsealed the blood-refining Restriction, Jiang Lin would absolutely not be able to use this thing.

But wanting the protagonist to die, how could it be so simple?!

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully defeating the Son of Heavenly Dao once. Your hatred value with him is 99 (SSS Rank). Reward: Myriad Desire Poison Core】

【Myriad Desire Poison Core: The source of the number one aphrodisiac poison from ancient times. It can emit a colorless, odorless, and insoluble scent. The only way to detoxify it is to, hehehe… A must-have for villains when going out, your personal partner!】

Damn it, isn't this for giving the protagonist benefits?!

Although in the original plot, Xiao Dong had countless concubines, he never indulged due to his perfect Divine Body.

But if the villain were to create such an Opportunity, who could guarantee he would “stick to his original intentions”…

So, this poison was meant to cause trouble, making it easier for him to deepen his relationship with the heroines!

However, Jiang Lin happened to Cultivate the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture, and he could use this poison core to elevate his True Qi quality to Emperor Rank.

This is a Great World of Bloodline Cultivation.

Cultivators use Bloodline as their foundation, connecting with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to achieve the supreme Dao.

The better the Bloodline quality, the higher the upper limit of the Bloodline True Qi quality within a Cultivator’s body.

Bloodline quality is divided into: Spirit Rank Bloodline (from Low Grade Low Rank to High Grade Top Rank, a total of 12 qualities; 99.999% of people in the entire world have this type of Bloodline quality), and above that are the extremely rare Emperor Rank Bloodline, Divine-Grade Bloodline, and the legendary Forbidden Bloodline.

Jiang Lin possessed the extremely rare Low Grade Emperor Rank Bloodline, the Taiwei Purple Poison Serpent!

The upper limit of his True Qi quality was an extremely terrifying Low Grade Emperor Rank.

By studying the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture and absorbing poison sources, he could continuously improve the quality of his True Qi.

He currently possessed High Grade Top Rank Spirit Rank True Qi. As long as he absorbed this Myriad Desire Poison Core, his True Qi quality would directly become Low Grade Emperor Rank.

He could then catch up to the current protagonist, Xiao Dong…

However, that guy’s Bloodline was High Grade Divine-Grade, the Five-Clawed True Dragon!

He Cultivated the Dao Cultivation Technique, All-Encompassing Art. Although his True Qi quality is currently Low Grade Emperor Rank,

He can still raise his True Qi quality to High Grade Divine-Grade by learning other Cultivation Techniques.

“There’s no comparison, truly no comparison, but I also have an unpromising Golden Finger…”

Villain Survival System!

The Villain Survival System has two sections.

One is Villain Missions, where you intercept the protagonist’s Opportunities and receive corresponding rewards.

The second is Survival Rewards, where you receive relevant Cultivation resources for each day you survive.

Jiang Lin withdrew his thoughts and directly brought up the System interface.

【Name: Jiang Lin】

【Villain Value: 10010 (Can be used to exchange for Medicinal Pills and items in the mall; the mall unlocks on the seventh day of survival)】

【Rewards Obtained: Peerless Charm Body, Yuan Yang Holy Body (does not conflict with the former), Myriad Desire Poison Core】

【Core Missions: 1. Kill the protagonist Xiao Dong; 2. Survive until the story’s end!】

【Reminder: The Host destroying the Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact has attracted the attention of this plane’s Heavenly Dao. From now on, every time you intercept the protagonist’s women or key items, the protagonist’s strength Rank will directly increase!】

System, are you messing with me?!

This time, you’re not even pretending anymore?

You’re directly stating that if I snatch the protagonist’s things, his Cultivation will increase?

If I snatch a dozen things, will the protagonist just become max Rank and go on a rampage?

Isn’t this just to restrict me from intercepting the protagonist’s treasures!

Before, you even tried to trick me into giving up my villain identity?

Dream on!

In this script, even if I lose, I will lose as a bad guy!

If I still believe in humanity in feel-good novels, I, Jiang Lin, am truly beyond saving!

This time, my goal is to become the biggest villain!

No matter who my opponent is, it won’t matter!

Heavenly Dao Luck?

It’s not like I haven’t directly confronted it before!

Next step, bide my time, strengthen myself,

First, get through the most dangerous first ten days, then open the villain shop.

Next, I’ll wait for the right moment to eliminate Xiao Dong with one blow!

Speaking of which, the harem group in this novel is a bit terrifying; none of them are easy to deal with, so I must be extremely careful!

...

Xiao Residence, back mountain.

Xiao Dong sat by the cold pond, circulating Qi to heal his injuries.

The True Dragon Bloodline is indeed a top-tier Bloodline.

In just half a day, combined with a few Medicinal Pills, his injuries had fully recovered.

Duan Tianya’s voice rang out: “Kid, this time, you’ve suffered a great loss!”

“The kunlun mirror is destroyed, the nine heavens teleportation shuttle is lost, and you’ve endured such humiliation!”

“You were too smooth in the Small World!”

“It’s a good Opportunity to use this failure to reflect on yourself!”

Xiao Dong’s eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “I’ve already blood-refined the nine heavens teleportation shuttle. He can’t unseal it. Soon, I will take it back!”

“I didn’t expect him to discover the existence of the kunlun mirror!”

“Also, I want to know, how did I get poisoned?”

Duan Tianya pondered for a moment, then replied:

“It seems the Blood Loss Gu you planted was discovered by the other party!”

“Moreover, his Bloodline is the Taiwei Purple Poison Serpent, an ancient Kunlun Bloodline, so he naturally could detect the kunlun mirror’s phantom. As for the poisoning…”

“I’ve thought it over, it was hidden in the envelope Zhang Wanmeng gave you!”

“It’s a soul-type poison; I couldn’t detect it.”

Xiao Dong’s eyes erupted with intense hatred.

“Zhang Wanmeng and Jiang Lin, these dog and bitch, ganged up to trick me!”

“That Jiang Lin probably already knows my background. This time, he came specifically for my kunlun mirror and nine heavens teleportation shuttle!”

Duan Tianya said, “That’s how it is for now. The Jiang Family truly has many capable and unusual individuals, even calculating this… You should focus on increasing your Cultivation first. This is not a Small World!”

“Your current Cultivation and situation are very dangerous in the Great World!”

“Next, Jiang Lin will definitely not let you off!”

“Hurry up and collect Cultivation Techniques. Only then can your True Qi quality Breakthrough to Divine-Grade!”

“I remember that in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion of the Royal Secret Realm, there’s a Hundred Flowers Contending for Beauty Painting. Inside it, there’s a Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique. Isn’t that girl from the Royal Family going to refine the Hundred Fragrance Pill? You should choose to refine it in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion!”

“Good!”

Then, he looked in the direction of the Jiang Family.

“Jiang Lin, just you wait. In ten days, aren’t you supposed to become a Dao Child? I will make you draw water with a sieve!”

“Within a year, I will definitely make you kneel at my feet and beg for mercy!”

...

In a private courtyard.

Jiang Lin was recalling the story plot, pondering his next move.

Suddenly, a dark shadow struck.

“Who…”

“The one who will take your life!”

The voice was cold, like a chilling wind from the depths of winter.

Before Jiang Lin could react, he vanished from the room.

The next moment, he appeared in a sealed, shimmering space.

His hands and feet were instantly locked by iron chains that appeared from the Void Realm.

“My Nascent Soul Stage Early Stage strength can’t even be used at all?”

“Damn it, the opponent is at least at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage!”

“It’s over, am I just going to die like this?”

“F*ck, is this dungeon even for humans to play?”

“I, the Young Lord of the number one Family, got kidnapped in the capital?”

“Is there something seriously wrong with the design of this world!?”

Jiang Lin continuously cursed in his heart, but his mind was still constantly analyzing the current situation.

His life-saving Talisman hadn’t moved.

The Void Refining Stage protector in the courtyard, who was at the sixth Realm, also didn’t react.

That means the opponent isn’t using a Formation or Talisman!

Moreover, the opponent’s strength couldn’t possibly exceed the Void Refining Stage.

Otherwise, the capital’s Formation would definitely directly restrict the opponent.

If such an operation is possible, then there’s only one possibility!

The special ability of a space-type Bloodline, Seven Star Space!

Then there’s only one person!

Xiao Dong’s childhood sweetheart,

The peerless Prodigy of the reclusive great Shangguan Family,

Possessing the Seven Star Emperor Fox Bloodline,

Shangguan Yaoyao!

This is her innate Divine Ability, within the Seven Star Space!

Oh no, this time, it’s completely over!

This woman is a demoness who kills without blinking for Xiao Dong!

This time, I’m afraid I’m in more trouble than good…

Just then, within the space, the ethereal mist thinned, and an exquisitely beautiful and ethereal figure appeared.

With just one glance, Jiang Lin almost completely succumbed.

Naturally enchanting, alluring yet not vulgar.

She was like the most perfect work of art in the world, making one unable to resist possessing and cherishing her.

That’s right, the peerless enchantress, Shangguan Yaoyao!

Damn it, I didn’t even use lethal force?

You’re going this far, is it necessary?

Jiang Lin’s mind raced.

Just accept fate?

If he didn’t die, he’d be severely injured!

That would only make him fall further behind Xiao Dong.

He was unwilling!

But now his Cultivation was restricted, and he was in the opponent’s innate space.

It seems there’s really no chance to turn the tables?

No, the System also rewarded a Myriad Desire Poison Core!

That’s the number one aphrodisiac poison from ancient times. Those who get hit become weak and powerless, and their techniques will definitely break down on their own!

The opponent’s purpose in coming here must also be to help Xiao Dong retrieve the nine heavens teleportation shuttle, one of the three Golden Fingers.

As long as these two things are put together, there’s a chance to make her take the bait!

Thinking of this, a complete plan slowly emerged in Jiang Lin’s mind.

You made the first move, so it’s only reasonable for me to scheme against you!

Jiang Lin quietly placed the System’s reward and the nine heavens teleportation shuttle together.

Little girl, you’re still too naive to fight with me…

At this moment, Shangguan Yaoyao stared coldly at Jiang Lin.

You dared to disparage Brother Xiao Dong everywhere,

You dared to use poison to secretly injure Brother Xiao Dong,

You dared to come to break off the engagement and humiliate Brother Xiao Dong,

You dared to take Brother Xiao Dong’s necklace…

Now, I’ll make you taste bitterness!

“Jiang Lin, you’ve committed too many evil deeds. Now I shall act on behalf of Heavenly Dao!”

Shangguan Yaoyao said viciously, as if she was about to make a move the next moment.

“Don’t speak so righteously. You’re here for Xiao Dong!”

Jiang Lin, who already had a plan in mind, was no longer flustered and said calmly.

“I know who you are, Shangguan Family, Shangguan Yaoyao!”

Shangguan Yaoyao was stunned, extremely surprised.

How does he know me?

“Do you know the consequences of attacking me?”

“You might not care about the Shangguan Family’s survival.”

“What about Xiao Dong?”

Jiang Lin’s excessive calmness made Shangguan Yaoyao feel uneasy: “What do you mean?”

Jiang Lin continued calmly: “If I die, the Jiang Family will be furious. Do you think Xiao Dong, as the cause of the incident, can leave the Nine Provinces World alive?”

Jiang Lin knew in his heart that he definitely could, and would even become stronger and stronger.

But Shangguan Yaoyao didn’t know that.

What she knew was that the Jiang Family, the number one Family in the Nine Provinces World, was an existence that even the Royal Family had to defer to.

It was too easy for them to deal with a Cultivator who hadn’t even reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

She was a bit flustered, but still stubbornly said: “Don’t worry, if you die here, no one will find out!”

Jiang Lin shook his head, confidently saying: “Actually, when you captured me, I already left a mark!”

“Do you want to know what the mark is?”

Looking at the self-assured Jiang Lin, Shangguan Yaoyao panicked.

“Wh… what?”

Seeing Shangguan Yaoyao in a state of disarray, Jiang Lin knew he had gained the upper hand mentally.

“I’ll tell you, the mark is the two words ‘Xiao Dong’!”

Shangguan Yaoyao instantly flashed in front of Jiang Lin, questioning, “Impossible, you couldn’t have reacted in time!”

“You can bet on it!”

Jiang Lin smiled slightly, like a venomous snake in the darkness.

Shangguan Yaoyao angrily said, “You scoundrel! I’m clearly the one who tied you up, why involve Brother Xiao Dong?”

Jiang Lin shook the iron chains on his hands, then asked, “Do you still want to kill me?”

Shangguan Yaoyao didn’t dare to gamble anymore.

What if the Jiang Family found Jiang Lin missing and went directly to Brother Xiao Dong? That would be terrible!

“Jiang Lin, you’re ruthless. Give me the necklace you took during the day, and this matter will be over!”

“If you don’t hand it over, I will definitely kill you!”

“I don’t believe you’re not afraid of death and willing to sacrifice yourself for Brother Xiao Dong!”

Jiang Lin’s lips curled up. Did she take the bait?

I was afraid you wouldn’t mention that necklace!

This round, I’m definitely winning!

“Isn’t it just a necklace? It’s in my right sleeve. Could you loosen the chains a bit so I can use a trace of True Qi to undo the sleeve’s Qiankun art!”

Want to use True Qi to call for help?

No way!

“No need, I have a spell that can break it open!”

Shangguan Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, as if she had Jiang Lin figured out.

She stacked her fingers, and a breaking seal opened Jiang Lin’s sleeve Qiankun.

Instantly, two items fell out.

One was the necklace, and the other was an exquisite box.

Shangguan Yaoyao put away the necklace and curiously picked up the box.

At this moment, Jiang Lin seemed to have been stimulated by something, and excitedly said, “Don’t touch my ancient rare material, that’s mine!”

Ancient rare material?

Consider it interest for bullying Brother Xiao Dong!

Shangguan Yaoyao’s lips curved upwards, and a hint of cunning appeared in her eyes.

“Big sister, please don’t open that box. Inside is a poisonous substance that contains desires!”

Watching Jiang Lin’s anxious expression, Shangguan Yaoyao couldn’t help but feel smug.

You dare to be arrogant, you dare to bully Brother Xiao Dong…

I have the Emperor Fox Bloodline, so desire-inducing poisons are basically useless against me!

Moreover, this is my innate space, which can automatically purify the body!

What strange poison do I fear from you?

You’re just afraid that I’ll know it’s an ancient rare material and snatch it away, right!

Let me see what kind of treasure it is!

Click!

Shangguan Yaoyao’s slender fingers flicked open the box containing the Myriad Desire Poison Core.

“No, don’t…”

Jiang Lin pretended to panic.

What a beautiful crystal core!

It must be a Divine Beast-level Beast Core!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Lin thought, it’s stable!

Little girl, fighting with me!

You’re still too naive!

“Big sister, quickly release me! Go find your beloved!”

“Hurry, it’ll be too late if you wait any longer!”

On the surface, Jiang Lin was like an ant on a hot pan, frantically tugging at the iron chains.

When acting, you have to go all out!

He wouldn’t reveal his true intentions until the very last moment.

“Behave yourself. If you move around again, I’ll break your leg!”

Shangguan Yaoyao glared fiercely at Jiang Lin, then continued to admire the Myriad Desire Poison Core.

“I’m not joking, that’s the number one aphrodisiac poison from ancient times! Quickly release it!”

Jiang Lin held his breath, speaking with a strained voice from his diaphragm.

Shangguan Yaoyao pouted, tilted her head back, and said nonchalantly, “You make it sound so mystical, the number one aphrodisiac poison from ancient times?”

“Did I get hit? You’re just trying to fool me!”

Looking at Shangguan Yaoyao’s clear eyes and the Seven Star Space that hadn’t dissipated around her,

Jiang Lin felt uneasy: “Could it be that the strange poison is useless against her?”
