The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

"By the grace of the fairy maiden above, please accept Duan Yu's bow!"

At the same time, Duan Yu and Zhong Ling arrived at the stone chamber where Nalan Sheng was. The moment Duan Yu saw the beautiful jade statue, he was as if bewitched and couldn't help but kneel down in worship.

Just as Zhong Ling was at a loss, Nalan Sheng suddenly walked to the side of the jade statue and waved his hand to put it into his storage ring.

[Ding! Host has intercepted the fairy-like jade statue of the male lead, rewarded with 200 villain points!]

"What...what did you do? What did you do to the fairy sister?"

Seeing the beautiful jade statue vanish into thin air, Duan Yu, in his anxiety, forgot his fear of Nalan Sheng and couldn't help but question her.

"Smack!!!"

Faced with Duan Yu's questioning, Nalan Sheng didn't waste any words. Instead, he raised his right hand and slapped him hard across the face, knocking him to the ground and making him roll around like a gourd.

[Ding! Host has assaulted the protagonist of Destiny, reward: 3 Villain Points!]

Nalan Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Do I need to explain my actions to you?"

After being hit hard, Duan Yu's eyes suddenly became clear. He covered his swollen cheek and showed a pitiful expression.

Seeing this, Zhong Ling couldn't help but advise, "Brother Sheng, let's talk this out!"

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Sheng snorted coldly and said, "Girl, don't forget that I just saved your lives, otherwise you would have been buried alive long ago."

If I weren't in a good mood right now, I would have slapped that ungrateful wretch to death long ago.

"..."

Seeing that Nalan Shengdu had said that, Zhong Ling didn't know how to refute him for a moment.

"Alright, I've gotten what I wanted, so we're even now. Let's part ways."

Nalan Sheng finished speaking and left without giving Zhong Ling a chance to stop him.

"Brother Saint..."

Watching Nalan Sheng's departing figure, Zhong Ling subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but she couldn't bear to leave Duan Yu behind.

Before Zhong Ling could figure out what to do, Nalan Sheng had already vanished without a trace.

"It's all your fault, you even made Brother Sheng leave."

Feeling as if she had missed a tremendous opportunity, Zhong Ling glanced at Duan Yu, who was still sitting on the ground, clutching his cheek to stop the pain, and couldn't help but stomp her foot in frustration.

"Why...why am I being blamed again...?"

Duan Yu's lips twitched slightly, his face full of speechlessness.

First, Nalan Sheng kicked her off a cliff, almost killing her. Then, the fairy sister's jade statue was taken away from her in front of her, and she was slapped hard. She was clearly the victim.

"Nonsense, of course it's your fault!"

Zhong Ling glared at Duan Yu and said, "If you knew martial arts, we wouldn't have almost been buried alive by the Shennong Gang, and we wouldn't owe Brother Sheng a favor."

As a result, we all owe Brother Sheng a favor, and you even argued with him over a broken statue. Don't you think you deserve a beating?

"That's not a broken statue, that's a jade statue of the Fairy Maiden!"

"You dare talk back to me? Fine, I'm not going to bother with you anymore..."

Seeing this, Zhong Ling angrily waved her fist, then stomped her feet and left, leaving Duan Yu, who seemed to be possessed, alone.

However, Zhong Ling did not notice that just as she left the stone chamber, two dark figures silently merged into her and Duan Yu's shadows.

Duan Yu ignored Zhong Ling's departure and instead focused his gaze on the stone wall not far away.

On the stone wall were carved dozens of lines of text, all sentences from the Zhuangzi. At the end of the text was a line that read: "Written by Xiaoyaozi for Qiushui Mei. There is no sun or moon in the cave; it is the greatest joy in the world."

"Qiushui Mei? So the fairy sister's name is Qiushui! That's so beautiful~"

Duan Yu stared at the words for a long time, a look of immense envy on his face.

If I could live in seclusion here with the fairy sister, no, even if I could only say one word to the fairy sister, I would die for it.

On the other side, after leaving Langhuan Paradise, Nalan Sheng walked along the river for a short while and then found an official road.

Looking at the tea stalls set up beside the official road, Nalan Shengjian narrowed his eyes and walked towards them.

"Old Huang, we should get going after we finish our tea. We absolutely cannot let that scoundrel get away this time."

"Don't worry, with Granny Rui leading the team this time, that bitch definitely won't get away."

As Nalan Shenggang approached the tea stall, he heard a series of curses coming from inside.

[These two people's accents sound a bit strange, quite different from Zhong Ling's and the others'. They sound more like accents from the Jiangnan region. Could the "bitch" they're talking about be Mu Wanqing?]

Nalan Sheng inwardly grumbled, but outwardly remained calm as he walked into the teahouse and said, "Old man, a bowl of cold tea, please."

"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man in charge of running the tea stall quickly poured a bowl of cool tea and placed it on the tea table in front of Nalan Sheng.

"Old man, the tea money is on the table."

Before Nalan Sheng could even drink his tea, the two grumbling men suddenly shouted and threw two copper coins onto the table.

After paying for the tea, the two burly men picked up their single-edged swords and spears, and rode away on fast horses outside the teahouse.

Seeing this, Nalan Sheng's eyes flashed with amusement. He drank the cold tea in the bowl in one gulp and then casually took out a silver bean and threw it on the table.

It's not that Nalan Sheng was a sucker, but rather that silver beans were the smallest form of currency he had.

Before using the [Tian Long Ba Bu Dungeon Card], Nalan Sheng specially asked the blacksmith in his mansion to forge some silver beans and gold beans for him, so that he could use them in this world.

"Sir..."

Just as the white-haired old man was looking for Nalan Shengqian, he found that Nalan had already left sometime earlier.

At this moment, Nalan Sheng followed the two burly men silently, like a ghost.

Although the two burly men were riding fast horses, they were as slow as toddlers learning to walk compared to Nalan Sheng's lightning-fast speed. There was no need to worry about them getting lost.

Nalan Sheng followed the two burly men for dozens of miles before finally stopping in front of a courtyard.

Dozens of figures had gathered outside the courtyard. They were dressed similarly to the two burly men, all looking like江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people of the martial arts world), and were carrying common weapons such as knives, spears, and clubs, completely surrounding the courtyard.

"Clang, clang..."

Just as Nalan Sheng was preparing to send shadow ninjas to infiltrate the courtyard to gather intelligence, a fierce fight suddenly broke out inside the courtyard.

"Stop that little bitch! Don't let her get away!"

With a hoarse cry of surprise, a jet-black horse with glossy coat, carrying a woman in black, galloped out of the courtyard.
