Villain: Fairy, please offer your loyalty

As night fell, Gu Fan's palace was brightly lit.

On the enormous dragon throne, light gauze swayed in the breeze.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Xiao Ling'er huddled at the foot of the bed like a frightened little rabbit.

The seven-colored glass dress that Gu Fan "bestowed" upon her shimmered under the divine fire, making her already pure and lovely face even more beautiful and radiant.

She gripped the corner of the blanket tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with unease.

Although she had agreed to go with this great demon during the day to save her brother Ye Chen, when the moment actually came, the deep-seated fear made her instinctively resist.

Gu Fan slowly unbuttoned his outer robe and casually tossed it onto the jade rack beside him.

His skin, nourished by the Hongmeng Body, exhibited a perfect jade-like texture, with smooth muscle lines that were full of explosive power.

"What? Not ready yet?"

A smile played on Gu Fan's lips as he approached step by step.

"I...I..."

Xiao Ling'er stammered, wanting to retreat but finding there was nowhere left to go.

Shyly, she could only bury her head in her knees.

"Could you... could you please not..."

"don't want?"

Gu Fan reached out and lifted her delicate chin.

"Ling'er, we made a deal. Your brother Ye Chen should still be lying outside the mountain gate, right? If you break your promise, do you think I won't send someone to give him a couple more shots?"

Upon hearing the name Ye Chen...

Xiao Ling'er's delicate body trembled, and despair flashed in her eyes.

Yes.

Her life, and even Ye Chen's life, were in the hands of this man's single thought.

"But...but Sister Nalan is still outside..."

Xiao Ling'er tried to make a final struggle.

Gu Fan glanced outside the screen.

There, a graceful figure was kneeling quietly.

Holding a book on advanced mathematics, she appeared to be studying it diligently, but her slightly trembling shoulders and the occasional glances in her direction betrayed her inner turmoil.

As Gu Fan's maid, Nalan Yanran was supposed to be the one to serve him tonight, but because of Xiao Ling'er's arrival, Gu Fan arranged for her to "listen in" and "keep watch" outside.

This was, of course, Gu Fan's perverse sense of humor.

Not only does he have to win over his childhood sweetheart, but he also has to keep his ex-fiancée listening in.

This double blow will not only completely destroy Xiao Ling'er's psychological defenses, but also make Nalan Yanran even more devoted to her.

"What happened to her outside?"

Gu Fan smiled wickedly, leaned close to Xiao Ling'er's ear, and deliberately raised his voice:

"It'll be perfect for her to hear how her best friend was willing to sacrifice herself for me to save that good-for-nothing. Don't you think that counts as another form of 'sisterly affection'?"

"You...you're shameless!"

Xiao Ling'er was filled with shame and indignation, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.

"Shameless? Thank you for the compliment."

Without another word, Gu Fan waved his hand, and a gentle yet irresistible spiritual force directly blocked all of Xiao Ling'er's escape routes.

"ah!"

With a gasp, Xiao Ling'er was pinned down by Gu Fan.

Outside the screen.

Nalan Yanran dropped the "Advanced Mathematics" book in her hand to the ground with a thud.

She bit her lip hard, listening to the sounds coming from inside, including Gu Fan's explicit teasing, her pretty face turning bright red.

"Is this...is this the young master's method?"

Nalan Yanran felt a mix of emotions.

On one hand, she felt sorry for Xiao Ling'er, as if she saw herself forced to submit back then; on the other hand, she actually felt a strange sense of pleasure?

Why should she be the only one to be humiliated?

Why is it that Xiao Ling'er can keep pretending to be innocent?

Now everyone's the same.

No one should laugh at anyone else.

and……

As for Ye Chen, who was still barely clinging to life outside the mountain gate, he had truly been forgotten by her at this moment.

……

Two hours later.

The dragon throne finally fell silent.

Xiao Ling'er curled up in Gu Fan's arms like a lazy kitten, her face still bearing traces of tears.

But the hatred and resistance in his eyes seemed to have faded considerably.

Instead, she felt a sense of bewilderment after resigning herself to her fate, and an attachment that she herself was unaware of.

Gu Fan leaned against the headboard, feeling refreshed, and glanced at the system panel.

[Gained 1500 Villain Points! Repair progress of the damaged spiritual root reached 45%!]

[Special Reward Received: Ancient Clan Bloodline, which can assist the host in cultivation!]

"As expected of a noblewoman from an ancient clan, this taste... tsk tsk."

Gu Fan stroked Xiao Ling'er's smooth, long hair with satisfaction, then called out to the outside:

"Yanran, come in and tidy up."

Outside the screen, Nalan Yanran took a deep breath, straightened her disheveled clothes and composed herself, and obediently walked in.

When she saw the mess on the quilt and Xiao Ling'er's shameful and indignant appearance, yet her reluctance to leave, she felt no jealousy as she had expected. Instead, she felt a strange sense of superiority.

Regardless, she was the first one to follow the young master.

and……

The problems the young master made her do seem really useful!

While she was listening outside, she suddenly had a sudden realization about it!

"Yes, young master."

Nalan Yanran knelt respectfully by the bed and began to clean up the mess.

"Ye Chen, Ye Chen, you just stay outside and let me get some fresh air."

Gu Fan chuckled inwardly.

"When you wake up tomorrow, you'll find that your little sister Ling'er has already... hehehe."

"As long as you swing the hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig down."

The ancients were right!

At the foot of Yunlan Sect Mountain, in a dilapidated pavilion.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, the intense pain all over his body making him gasp.

He struggled to sit up.

She glanced at the brightly lit area behind the Yunlan Sect and two hot tears slid down her cheeks.

"Ling'er..."

Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly.

"To save me, you were willing to submit to that demon... You love me!"

"You must love me so much to have to make this sacrifice!"

Once this self-pity takes hold, it spreads like wildfire, like weeds.

In Ye Chen's imagination, Xiao Ling'er must be resisting the tyranny of that demon and suffering in agony in order to save his life.

"Ling'er, don't worry! I, Ye Chen, will never betray your deep affection!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with hatred.

"Gu Fan! You bully others by abusing your power and forcibly abduct women! Since I can't beat you, I'll make all the righteous people in the world despise you! I refuse to believe that there is no law in this world!"

Just do it.

Over the next few days, despite being severely injured, Ye Chen wandered through various cultivation towns on the Cangyun Continent like an unkillable cockroach.

He fully embraced his victimhood, tearfully accusing the Primordial Holy Son Gu Fan of numerous crimes.

He forcibly abducted innocent women, publicly humiliated a proud young man, and committed countless evil deeds because of his immense wealth...
