Chapter 1 The Southern Frontier Holy Son Obsessed with Gu Poison 1
[Consumption Guide: Contains a lot of mudslinging. The protagonist is truly vicious and selfish, and the degree of evil varies from world to world. He is a genuine villain who loves himself the most. Enter at your own risk.]
A strange thing happened in Shangyunjing recently.
Hundreds of strong young men have gone missing in the city, including many pampered young masters and nobles from wealthy and powerful families.
What's strange is that these people disappeared without a sound, and when the imperial court went to the scene before their disappearance, they couldn't find any trace of resistance.
It is widely rumored that there is a beautiful and alluring spirit in the capital that specializes in seducing young men full of vigor and feeding on their yang energy.
Immediately, panic gripped the capital, with officials and their families flocking to the palace to request an audience. The emperor was furious and immediately issued an edict ordering the Xiaoling Division to thoroughly investigate the matter within three months.
...
[Important Notice: The main character has appeared, and the villain's mission has been updated!]
The white slime, barely visible to Xie Rong on its shoulder, excitedly blew its trumpet, and the bamboo house door was knocked upon.
A respectful voice came in: "Valley Master, a new batch of medicine slaves are waiting outside."
The young people in the bamboo house turned a deaf ear.
He lay sprawled on the edge of the couch, his black hair loose, wearing a dark purple vest adorned with silver ornaments.
The back sash was short and couldn't cover the waist, but the young man didn't care. He let his narrow, pale waist sag slightly, revealing a pair of dimples from under the sash. The hem of his clothes, in the same color, was layered on the ground.
Xie Rong stared intently at the mother Gu laying eggs in the porcelain bottle. His dark purple heterochromatic eyes were bright and moist, clearly reflecting the state of the Gu worms in the bottle.
The system on the shoulder also curiously leaned over, and immediately saw the fat worm slowly wriggling in the porcelain bottle. It then shook its slime-like body and shrank back to cover its eyes.
[Host, you've been staring at this bug for three days straight, haven't you had enough yet?]
Xie Rong casually grabbed the black spider that was crawling around his neck, and played with it in his hand.
The boy's eyes curved upwards, and the light red crescent-shaped birthmark on his right cheekbone seemed to float as well. Afraid of disturbing the Gu worms in the porcelain bottle, he lowered his voice, making it hoarse and soft: "Soon, a new baby will be born again."
The medicine servant outside the bamboo house waited a long time for his instructions, then knocked on the door again, "Valley Master, you...?"
Xie Rong hurriedly covered the porcelain bottle, but the mother Gu inside was still frightened by the knocking sound. She stopped laying eggs, curled up her plump body, and hid in the pile of medicine dregs.
"..." His fingers, which were gripping the porcelain bottle tightly, trembled slightly. His beautiful eyebrows and eyes twisted for a moment before being shrouded in gloom.
"waste."
Crack.
He crushed the porcelain bottle in his palm along with the terrified mother Gu, and the shards of porcelain pierced his soft palm flesh as if he felt no pain.
The system fell silent and quietly rested on his shoulder.
Xie Rong got up, walked to the door in his wooden clogs that revealed his fair toes, and pushed the door open.
"Valley Master, this..."
The drug slave's words were abruptly cut off as he grabbed her by the neck.
The shards of porcelain that hadn't been pulled out of his palm pierced the drug slave's neck.
The sleeping green snake coiled on Xie Rong's wrist was awakened by the noise, arched its body, and flicked its tongue at the medicine slave.
Xie Rong's eyes were gloomy, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, "You've ruined my mood."
The medicine slave was much taller than him and had been carefully selected by him to feed the Gu worms. He was strong and robust, far exceeding that of ordinary men. At this moment, the Gu poison in his body was being manipulated by him, and his meridians were bursting open inch by inch. He could only let his weak hands tightly grip his neck, and he had no power to fight back.
Just as he was about to breathe his last, one of the newly arrived drug slaves broke free from his restraints, picked up a pebble from the ground, and lightly struck an acupoint on his wrist.
Xie Rong's left hand went weak and he released the medicine slave.
He looked down.
A glaring red mark was clearly visible on the overly fair skin of her wrist.
He then looked up and met the icy gaze of the man in the crowd.
"You treat human life like dirt, aren't you afraid of retribution?" The man stood in the crowd, his face handsome and upright, dressed in black, his figure tall and straight like a crane among chickens.
"What are you all standing there for? Seize him now, lest he offend the Valley Master!" The young man beside him was clearly different from ordinary medicine slaves, and upon seeing this, he quickly reprimanded the crowd.
A fight broke out in front of the bamboo house in an instant.
[Main character profile activated! Current world protagonist: Lu Yi; Position: Deputy Envoy of the Valiant Guard.]
[Main Quest: As the most professional villain, the host must become the biggest obstacle in the protagonist's life, inflicting suffering and torment upon him. When the protagonist's pain level reaches 100, the quest is successful, and the system will help the host escape that world painlessly.]
The system glanced cautiously at Xie Rong, whose expression was inscrutable, its demeanor extremely cautious: [If the host has no further questions... shall we proceed immediately?]
It's no wonder it was so cautious. When the system was looking for villainous characters, it immediately took a liking to Xie Rong, a villain in a cultivation novel who had awakened his consciousness.
Xie Rong was a man of exceptional talent, skilled in both medicine and swordsmanship. He was a prodigy whom everyone in the cultivation world could only dream of.
Unfortunately, an accident occurred while he and his disciples were training in a secret realm. In order to save everyone, his golden core shattered, and the genius perished.
Ironically, among the disciples he saved, the protagonist of the book, who had the most mediocre talent, began to stand out and gradually replaced him as the sect's chief disciple.
He was not only often ridiculed by his former friends under the guise of visiting him, but even as a man, he was forced to marry the protagonist of the book in order to humiliate him.
How could he accept this? How could he not hate it!
So Xie Rong pretended to be friendly and approached the protagonist, and when the protagonist lowered his guard, he self-destructed his spirit on the wedding day, dragging the protagonist down with him to their deaths.
Only after his death did he realize that he was just a villain in a book, destined to become a stepping stone on the path to immortality for the protagonist. Perhaps the protagonist's marriage to him was not only to humiliate him, but also to use him for training.
When the system found him, it witnessed him in a frenzy, clinging tightly to the protagonist's self-destructing spirit.
The system was timid and, frightened, secretly followed Xie Rong's soul for many days before finally mustering the courage to appear and bind to him.
Even after being reincarnated into a small world and spending eighteen years with Xie Rong, the system still couldn't figure out his personality.
[System reminder: Current protagonist's pain level: 0]
Xie Rong squinted, pulled the jade flute from his waist, and held it to his lips.
A folk song from southern Xinjiang rose from the flute.
To prevent anyone from disobeying, all the drug slaves captured and sent to the Valley of Mysteries are fed an insect egg beforehand, and only his flute music can control these Gu.
As the flute music entered his ears, the man in the crowd who could take on a hundred men froze, clutching his chest with one hand and kneeling on one knee.
Xie Rong stopped playing the flute and said calmly, "Bring him here."
Once the man was dragged to his feet, Xie Rong grabbed the man's chin, forcing him to look up.
“Yes, that’s exactly the look in his eyes. I love it,” Xie Rong said, scanning the man’s cold, disgusted eyes back and forth. Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she raised her hand to slap the man across the face.
"This slap is punishment for hurting me by throwing a stone."
The man's jaw was clenched, he was breathing heavily, and he turned around to stare intently at him.
[The protagonist feels humiliated; pain level +5!]
Xie Rong casually slapped the man a second time.
"This slap is a reward for your pleasing eyes."
[The protagonist feels nauseous; pain level +5!]
[Host, you're practically the chosen villain! Our mission will definitely be completed very soon!]
