1: You are the villain

Revered Master Yun Xi: Quickly hand over your brain to Revered Master!

"You're saying I'm a Villain?"

"I respect my Revered Master and the Dao, I'm open and upright, I keep myself clean and untainted... how could there be a Villain like this?"

[That's right, you're a high-quality Villain.]

Qin Tian frowned.

"System, take another good look."

"This Face, with its sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, elegant as a jade tree, impeccable features, and one-in-a-million looks—I can charm thousands of girls just by standing still."

"Have you ever seen a Villain this handsome?"

[I have, and the Host is that very person.]

[Congratulations, Host, you possess a Villain Face even more handsome than the protagonist's.]

Qin Tian: "..."

[Only one day remains until the son of destiny joins the sect.]

[To avoid being tortured and killed by the son of destiny, please stop doubting yourself and immediately select a path divergence.]

Qin Tian's dream of being a protagonist shattered.

He was originally a person from Blue Star who got lucky and was then reborn into the Ancient Immortal World.

Since he was a child, his family had fostered him in the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, where he became the Senior Brother of Divine Firmament Peak.

Unfortunately, although he entered early, he had yet to find a suitable dao seed for Fusion and had been stuck in the Qi Nurturing Realm for many years.

His cultivation was surpassed one after another by his cute Junior Sisters, making him the weakest one on Divine Firmament Peak.

A few days ago, he had Awakening an unreliable "Villain Survival" System, thinking his cheat had finally arrived.

As it turned out, this System kept saying he would be hacked into pieces and turned into minced meat by the son of destiny, dying so horribly even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!

Only by completing path divergence tasks and obtaining fate reversal points would he have a chance to survive.

Qin Tian looked at the System panel helplessly, his Face full of worry.

[Path Divergence One:]

[Give up your status as a Disciple of Divine Firmament Peak and leave the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect. Reward for completion: one hundred fate reversal points;]

[Path Divergence Two:]

[Prevent the son of destiny, Xiao Chen, from joining Divine Firmament Peak. Reward for completion: one thousand fate reversal points and one draw from the fate reversal wheel.]

Qin Tian: "..."

"System, look closely. Are these two rewards even equivalent?"

[Rewards strictly follow risk assessment; the higher the danger, the higher the reward. This System never makes mistakes, so please do not question it!]

"...Xiao Chen, what's his Realm?"

A flash appeared before Qin Tian's eyes, filled with golden light and full of special effects.

"Fine, fine, as expected of a protagonist..."

[Name: Xiao Chen (son of destiny)

Realm: Dao Entry Realm

dao seed: heaven swallowing seed (Fragmented) (Saint Grade)

Special: Destiny Halo]

[Destiny Halo:

Luck 999+, Comprehension Ability 999+, Bone Structure 999+, Charm 999+... Probability of turning misfortune into luck: 100%;

Probability of meeting a benefactor in a desperate situation: 100%;

Probability of triggering a fortuitous encounter when poisoned: 100%;

Probability of obtaining a Legacy after jumping off a cliff: 100%;

Probability of a Breakthrough when near death: 100%;

Favorability increase for the opposite sex: 1000%;

Sacrifice rate of family and friends: 50% (automatically increases to 99.99...% when necessary)... (Note: The destiny protagonist never follows logic, only settings.)

]

A dizzying array of 100%... Can anyone tell me how I'm supposed to play this?

System, you might as well just say this guy can't die... One look and I know the son of destiny is definitely someone a little weakling like me can't afford to provoke.

Goodbye, I can't win, I'm out!

Qin Tian didn't hesitate: "System, I choose Divergence One."

[Host, won't you reconsider?]

Reconsider?

Looking at his own panel:

[Name: Qin Tian (Villain)

Realm: Qi Nurturing Realm

dao seed: None

Special: Heavenly Chosen Cannon Fodder Villain Halo]

[Heavenly Chosen Cannon Fodder Villain Halo:

son of destiny hatred value: 999+

Experience value: 999+

Loot drop rate: 100%

Probability of being killed by the son of destiny: 99.9999...%

]

"***"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

Qin Tian couldn't hold it back anymore!

What kind of trash halo is this!?

Why is the Protagonist Halo so overpowered?

Is there still any justice in this world? Is there any law?

[Path Divergence One selected.]

[Task issued: Expulsion from the Sect]

[Please go to Shenxiao Hall, steal Revered Master Yun Xi's icy silk stockings, and be discovered by her so she will expel you from the sect.]

[Task deadline: Before the son of destiny, Xiao Chen, steps into the gates of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect.]

"Steal what?"

"System, if you want me dead, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush... Who doesn't know that Revered Master absolutely detests men?"

"Any male appearing within three zhang of her will cause her to show physiological disgust."

"You want me to steal Revered Master's personal icy silk stockings and be caught by her?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"It'd be a miracle if Revered Master didn't hack me to death with a sword!"

[Host, please rest assured. Out of respect for your mother's Face, the probability of Yun Xi not killing you is 100%.]

Qin Tian paused.

"Speaking of which, my old lady and Revered Master seem to be best friends..."

"I don't know if a best friend's Face is useful... 100% should mean it's useful?..."

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth.

"Forget it, let's do it!"

"At most, I'll just be labeled a shameless, despicable, and Rebellious Disciple who assaulted his Revered Master. Reputation isn't as important as my life!"

[Host, go for it!]

"Let's go!"

[Please note: If the deadline is exceeded, the task will fail, the path divergence will reset, and a different path will be automatically selected.]

"I can even re-select? Is this some kind of save point?"

[When the son of destiny enters the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, you, as a Villain, will be locked by destiny. By then, running away will be useless, and you will automatically enter Path Divergence Two.]

[Friendly reminder: If Path Divergence Two also fails, the Host is destined to be ruthlessly tortured and killed by the son of destiny...]

Qin Tian: "..."

He always felt like the System was playing him, but he had no proof... "Forget it, I'd better go to Shenxiao Hall first."

...At the peak of Divine Firmament Peak sat Shenxiao Hall.

That was Yun Xi's living quarters and also the place where she handled matters large and small (though there weren't actually many matters).

Qin Tian scanned the area; there was no one around.

The interior of the hall was simple yet elegant, with a spotless glazed floor that clearly reflected his shadow.

Qin Tian carefully closed the hall door: "Revered Master, are you there?"

After waiting a few breaths, there was no response.

"Phew, luckily she's not here!"

"At this hour, Revered Master is most likely Cultivate at the Cold Pool. I need to hurry."

Qin Tian looked around and stealthily approached the door to Yun Xi's bedroom.

Although he was the Senior Brother of Divine Firmament Peak, he had never entered Yun Xi's bedroom in all his years.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, he just didn't dare.

Qin Tian understood that Yun Xi disliked men, so she certainly wouldn't like him either.

Being able to stay at Divine Firmament Peak was entirely thanks to his mother's Face, which had opened a small back door for him.

He had always been very well-behaved, respecting his Revered Master and the Dao, and keeping a certain distance from Yun Xi.

Today was his first transgression, and it would also be his last!

Qin Tian took a deep breath and pushed open the bedroom door... It smelled so good!

Instantly, a refreshing fragrance wafted over—

A mix of floral, sandalwood, and...

A woman's body fragrance... That was Revered Master Yun Xi's unique scent... It made one's imagination run wild... Qin Tian's breathing quickened, and his heart rate sped up involuntarily:

"Calm down! Qin Tian!"

"What you're doing now is a life-or-death matter!"

He ringed around, saw no one, and flashed over to the Cold Jade Bed.

At the edge of the bed, those icy silk stockings were placed just right... "Revered Master, I'm sorry. Your Disciple has no intention of desecrating you; it's just a last resort to save my life!"

Qin Tian pressed his palms together and muttered a silent prayer toward the icy silk stockings.

"Don't worry, your Disciple swears to heaven that I will never tell anyone about today!"

"After leaving the sect, I will definitely stay far away!"

"Otherwise, may lightning strike me down!"

After some mental preparation, Qin Tian reached out and took the icy silk stockings into his hands—

Smooth... fragrant... warm... At the same time, his Revered Master's long, fair, and peerless legs uncontrollably appeared in his mind.

"Eh?"

Qin Tian paused, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

"Wait..."

He looked at the icy silk stockings in his hand and blurted out a "holy crap" in shock:

"How is there still body heat!?"

At the same time, a cold female voice sounded from behind him:

"Tian'er, what are you doing here?"
