Villain: Fairy, please offer your loyalty

Gu Fan's lips curled up slightly, and that smile made Mei'er's heart skip a beat.

The young master is about to begin his hunt again.

Gu Fan stood up and walked straight toward Yuan Shao.

The feudal lords along the way all gave way, fearing to be associated with this ominous star.

He stopped in front of Yuan Shao, looking down at the alliance leader who was still wiping blood from his nose.

"Yuan Benchu, is that right?"

Gu Fan kicked Yuan Shao's shin.

"Yes...yes! What are your orders, Immortal Master?"

Yuan Shao raised his head tremblingly, all traces of the arrogance of a man from a family that had held high office for generations gone.

"I think the girl behind you and I are quite destined to meet."

Gu Fan pointed to Zhen Mi, who was hiding behind Yuan Xi, his tone calm but domineering and unyielding.

"I heard she's a daughter-in-law of the Yuan family?"

These words were spoken.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

All eyes were on Zhen Mi.

Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, instinctively stepped in front of Zhen Mi.

That's his fiancée!

Although they were not yet married, he had long coveted Zhen Mi and regarded her as a precious treasure.

"Immortal... Immortal Master..."

Yuan Xi's voice trembled as she tried to explain, "She's a junior's fiancée, we..."

"Oh? Fiancée?"

Gu Fan raised an eyebrow, took off his sunglasses, and a playful glint flashed in his deep eyes.

"So what?"

"If I set my sights on a woman, I'll snatch her away, even if she's not my fiancée, let alone the mother of my child."

Gu Fan turned to look at Yuan Shao on the ground, his voice suddenly turning cold.

"Yuan Benchu, I don't like to force people to do things they don't want to do."

"But I've heard that your Yuan family is large and prosperous, with a large and numerous population..."

Gu Fan crouched down, gently patted Yuan Shao's face, and whispered in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"You don't want... the entire Yuan family to disappear from this world tonight, do you?"

boom!

These words struck Yuan Shao like a bolt from the blue.

Threat!

A blatant threat!

To trade one woman for the life of an entire family!

Yuan Shao trembled all over, his eyes filled with struggle.

That was his most favored daughter-in-law, the key to the Yuan family's marriage alliance with the Zhen family...

But looking at the ferocious-looking Lü Bu beside him, and then at Dong Zhuo who looked like a dead dog, he could see the contrast.

Yuan Shao was afraid.

At this moment, the weakness and selfishness in his bones completely prevailed.

"You bastard! Get out of the way!!"

Yuan Shao suddenly turned around and kicked his son Yuan Xi.

"father?!"

Yuan Xi looked at his father in disbelief.

"That's because the Immortal Master thinks highly of our Yuan family! It's Zhen Mi's good fortune!"

Yuan Shao, his eyes red, roared hysterically:

"Hand him over! Don't push your luck! Do you want to get your whole family killed?!"

Yuan Xi was kicked to the ground. He looked at his father's ferocious face and then at the indifferent lords around him.

He chickened out.

He lowered his head, biting his lip so hard that even as his nails dug into his flesh, he dared not utter another word.

in the corner.

Zhen Mi felt a chill run down her spine as she watched this scene.

Is this what is meant by a prestigious family?

Is this the fiancé who kept saying he would love her for a lifetime?

Faced with tyranny, she was like a piece of merchandise that could be discarded at any time, and was sacrificed without hesitation.

My heart is completely broken.

Two lines of clear tears slid down that exquisitely beautiful face.

Just then.

A warm, large hand reached out to her.

"Why are you crying? Your makeup is ruined."

Gu Fan's voice rang out from above, carrying a hint of teasing, yet inexplicably reassuring.

Zhen Mi raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears as she looked at the domineering man before her.

"A useless man like that is better off without."

Gu Fan reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Zhen Mi instinctively tried to struggle, but then she heard Gu Fan whisper in her ear:

"Follow me, and no one in this world will dare to treat you like merchandise again."

"Do you want to stay here and continue being sold off by these good-for-nothings?"

Zhen Mi's body stiffened.

She stopped struggling, closed her eyes, and let the man hold her waist possessively. (Chapter update reminder: Chapter 48 Yuan Benchu's Business Acumen, reading address: [link to chapter update]).

Yes.

Does she have a choice?

At least, this man is so strong that he inspires despair, and also... so strong that he brings peace of mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully snatching the leading lady, Zhen Mi!]

[Detected that Liu Bian, the chosen one, is experiencing a mental breakdown (this is his unresolved regret from his past life, and his unrequited love in this life)!]

[Plundered Luck Points: 5000!]

[Gained Villain Points: 5000!]

[Current progress of repairing the damaged spiritual root: 75%!]

Not far away.

Liu Bian, who got up from the ground, had bloodshot eyes and his fingers were even scratched until they bled.

In his previous life, after he was deposed, he saw Zhen Mi from afar in the cold palace and was amazed by her beauty, regarding her as a goddess.

Reborn, he vows to reclaim the throne, marry Zhen Mi, and make up for the regrets of his past life.

But now...

His goddess, his white moonlight, was right in front of him, being held in the arms of that damned man!

The man didn't even glance at him!

"Aaaaaah!!"

Liu Bian roared like a wild beast in his heart.

"Gu Fan! I want you dead! I want you all dead!!"

Extreme jealousy and anger completely overwhelmed Liu Bian's reason.

[System notification: The system has detected severe emotional fluctuations in the host. Do you wish to activate the forbidden item [Trapping Dragon Ascension Formation]?]

[Warning: This formation requires the sacrifice of all living beings within a ten-mile radius. The host will temporarily gain the cultivation level of a peak terrestrial immortal, but will have to endure system backlash afterwards!]

If I can't have it, then I'll destroy it all!

Liu Bian secretly slipped his blood-stained fingers into his sleeve and crushed a nine-clawed golden dragon jade talisman.

hum! !

In an instant.

Countless strange, blood-red runes suddenly appeared on the ground of the entire central command tent.

A nauseating stench of blood immediately filled the air.

The once clear sky turned blood red at this moment!

"What...what kind of sorcery is this?!"

Cao Cao's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no! It's a blood sacrifice array!"

Liu Bei exclaimed in surprise.

boom!

A crimson pillar of light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire tent.

Those weaker lords, such as Han Fu and Kong Rong, were immediately drained of their vitality, their bodies withered like dried corpses, and they collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

"Aaaaaah!"

Screams echoed throughout the room.

Liu Bian stood in the center of the blood array, his body surrounded by scarlet blood energy, his aura soaring wildly from the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm.

Late stage of Celestial Realm!

Peak of the Celestial Realm!

A near-immortal on earth!

In just a few breaths, Liu Bian's cultivation broke through to the mid-stage of the Land Immortal realm!

"Hahaha! A bunch of useless trash!"

Liu Bian laughed wildly, his voice filled with madness.

"It is your honor to become nourishment for me!"

A golden imperial image, thousands of feet tall, appeared behind him, holding the phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword, exuding overwhelming power.

Zhen Mi shrank into Gu Fan's arms in fright, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Gu Fan calmly took a peeled grape from Ju'er's hand and fed it to her.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

He raised his head and looked at Liu Bian, who was laughing wildly in the blood array, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Mei'er".

Gu Fan snapped his fingers.

"Yes, young master."

Mei nodded slightly, raised her clear, cold eyes, and glanced indifferently at the crimson array.

Click!

A crisp sound.

The crimson array that had trapped everyone shattered like glass.

"What?!"

Liu Bian opened his eyes wide.

[System Warning: Unknown force interference detected; the [Dragon Trapping Ascension Formation] has been forcibly interrupted!]

[The backlash begins!]

The "Emperor's Dharma Image" that Liu Bian had just condensed exploded instantly, turning into countless golden fragments.

"puff!"

Liu Bian coughed up a mouthful of blood and rolled off the platform like a ball, looking utterly disheveled.

Gu Fan slowly walked over and stepped on Liu Bian's distorted face.

"A reborn person? A system?"

Gu Fan looked down at him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"this one?"
