4: Unreasonable protagonist halo

Xiao Chen leaped from the bridge, a smile of having everything under control curling on his lips, feeling even more delighted in his heart.

"Although this Restriction is profound, no one knows that This Young Master possesses the peerless heaven swallowing seed, which can swallow everything!"

"The array patterns in this Restriction are no exception!"

"However, This Young Master still needs to act like it's difficult, better yet if I shed some blood, so this woman will be even more grateful."

"Such a top-quality woman is much stronger than the one just now, and she has a unique aura that even makes the heaven swallowing seed in my body restless."

"As long as I perform Dual Cultivation with her, the heaven swallowing seed will definitely become stronger again, adding a few more chances for revenge and to wash away my shame!"

"Hmph! Great Qian Empress, you wiped out my entire Xiao Family, I will definitely make you crawl before This Young Master like a dog, begging for mercy, and completely submit beneath my crotch!"

Thoughts flashed through Xiao Chen's mind with extreme speed, feeling incredibly smug!

"System, Xiao Chen doesn't have a protective talisman and jumped down directly, can he really survive?"

Qin Tian was surprised; the Restriction in that River Boundary was very powerful, someone in the Dao Entry Realm couldn't handle it.

[Host, the heaven swallowing seed can swallow everything, including the Restriction in this river water.]

"..."

"Truly unreasonable."

Qin Tian frowned, "What else is special about this heaven swallowing seed?"

[The most powerful aspect of the heaven swallowing seed is that it can swallow, absorb, and utilize the power of other dao seeds through special means.]

"Special means?"

[Special means include but are not limited to swallowing, Dual Cultivation, drinking essence blood, devouring the Divine Soul, etc.]

[Among them, directly swallowing the dao seed and Dual Cultivation have the best effects, perfectly absorbing the power of heaven and earth within the dao seed.]

[Other methods like drinking blood and devouring Souls can absorb seventy to eighty percent at most, and twenty to thirty percent at least.]

"Dual Cultivation? Doesn't that mean my Junior Sisters will all be sucked dry by him?"

"Damn guy, so sinister, is he really the son of destiny? System, could you have made a mistake?"

[Host, please do not doubt it; he indeed carries destiny, and you are indeed the destined Villain.]

"Fine, fine, fine, congratulations on learning how to answer before I even finish..."

Qin Tian's hope was extinguished again. He sighed and continued to look at the River Boundary.

By now, Xiao Chen had been splashing in the river for a long time. The river water, surrounded by the Restriction, slapped against him heavily, making it look very difficult.

"Still acting, why don't you go win a Best Actor award!"

Qin Tian knew it was an act. He could guess that Xiao Chen was doing it on purpose to make it look like he went through immense hardships to save the Purple Sable, so Su Ningying would remember it with gratitude.

He saw a flash of anxiety in Su Ningying's eyes and couldn't help but sigh:

"Second Junior Sister hasn't seen the sinister side of people's hearts; she's very pure and will definitely be fooled by this guy..."

What Qin Tian didn't know was that what Su Ningying was anxious about was completely different from what he thought.

"Stinking Maggot, why aren't you dead yet?"

Su Ningying gritted her teeth, "Hurry up and die! Idiot!"

Finally, Xiao Chen "painstakingly" swam to Little Zi's side and scooped her up.

"Fairy, look, I caught her!"

His panting voice carried excitement, a bright smile on his face, and a hint of innocence in his eyes.

Scars were appropriately distributed across his body, looking quite terrifying.

Anyone who saw this would think Xiao Chen was a warm-hearted and pure young man who risked his life for others!

"This guy is really good at acting. My Junior Sister, who doesn't know the truth, is probably full of gratitude and completely fallen for him by now, right?"

Qin Tian looked at Su Ningying with complex emotions, feeling like his own cabbage was about to be uprooted by a pig.

And he had no way to stop it.

Because that was a pig of destiny.

"Truly a Maggot that won't die even when stepped on."

Su Ningying frowned deeply, a cold light flashing in her eyes as she cursed ten thousand times in her heart, "Hypocritical and nauseating."

"Little Zi, bite him!"

Little Zi bared her teeth, revealing those sharp fangs she had long since sharpened.

With a 'crack' bite, she directly pierced Xiao Chen's neck.

That accuracy, that depth—

It was completely premeditated and impeccable!

Qin Tian's eyes immediately lit up, feeling inexplicably refreshed:

"Little Zi, good bite!"

"It had to be you!"

"I'll give you a chicken leg next time!"

In the river, Xiao Chen was pale with shock, his heart filled with rage: "Vile beast, how dare you bite me, you're looking for death."

But as soon as he circulated his Qi, he felt a wave of dizziness.

"Poi... poison...!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen's vision went black, and he fainted, sinking into the water with a gurgle.

"Ah! Young Master Xiao!" The female Disciple from Lingxiu Peak was slow and had just arrived to see Xiao Chen sink into the river.

"Help!"

She directly crushed a Jade Slip, and a wisp of clear Qi burst out, forming the shape of Lingxiu Peak. That was the communication Jade Slip that every Disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect possessed.

Su Ningying glanced over coldly.

"Busybody..."

The Purple Sable scrambled up the riverbank and into Su Ningying's arms in a few bounds. A faint purple light emanated from its belly, completely unaffected by the Restriction.

Qin Tian: "..."

"Little Zi has Junior Sister's protective talisman...?"

"System, what's the situation?"

"Why does it feel like Junior Sister is setting a trap for Xiao Chen?"

"Isn't she the female lead?"

"Is her character setting collapsing?"

[Host, the female lead also needs to be conquered.]

[Xiao Chen is currently extremely weak. Do you want to go and deliver a finishing blow?]

"What benefit do I get from hitting him?"

[Beating up the son of destiny can earn you fate reversal points.]

"Then it seems... that's not impossible..."

"This guy wants to kill me; I have to collect some interest before I leave!"

[Host, do him!]

"Do him!"

...Meanwhile, at the bottom of the River Boundary, a dim gray light emanated from Xiao Chen.

"Wake up quickly!"

A low mutter made Xiao Chen snap awake!

"I... was poisoned...?"

"The poison of a Purple Sable is nothing more than this." A different low voice came from within Xiao Chen.

That was the Soul residing in the heaven swallowing seed, and also Xiao Chen's trump card.

"Revered Master, that Purple Sable looked weak and frail; I didn't expect her to attack proactively. It was my lack of consideration."

"I think it's not a lack of consideration, but that you've put all your thoughts on women!"

Xiao Chen paused, "Revered Master, this woman's dao seed is special; I must get her."

"Being bitten isn't necessarily a bad thing. she will definitely feel guilty towards me, making it even easier to get close to her."

This time, the voice didn't argue back.

"As you wish. You can also be considered to have found a blessing in disguise, using this River Boundary's Restriction and the Purple Sable's poison to temper your Physical Body."

Xiao Chen's lips curled up, "It's just a trivial accident; everything is under control."

After saying that, he swam upward and surfaced.

"Young Master Xiao, you're fine, that's great!"

The female Disciple from Lingxiu Peak was overjoyed, holding her face in her hands, her eyes full of delight.

"Idiot."

Su Ningying glanced over, her heart even colder, "Damn Maggot, truly a cockroach that won't die even when chased, he's actually still alive!"

"Next time, the dose of poison must be doubled—no, it has to be increased tenfold."

"Thanks to the Fairy's great fortune, Xiao Chen is fine."

Xiao Chen cupped his hands in the water, "Fairy, please do not blame your spiritual pet; she must have been frightened to bite someone."

He spoke nicely, but the flash of killing intent in his eyes when he glanced at the Purple Sable betrayed him.

Su Ningying's heart felt like an ice cellar, and a few poison needles appeared between her fingers behind her back.

"Fellow Daoist, the water is cold; you should come up quickly." (Die from poison, die from poison, die from poison...)

Xiao Chen was delighted, "She's already starting to care about me. It seems it won't be many days before I can get her into bed!"

"Fairy, please rest assured. Let alone this mere river water, even if it were a raging fire or rolling heavenly thunder, I, Xiao Chen, would not fear it in the slightest!"

Coincidentally, at that moment.

A loud boom echoed from the sky.

Pale lightning descended from the heavens!

And struck directly on top of Xiao Chen's head...
