The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

However, Ge Ye knew very well that under normal circumstances, only a Dou Ling expert could condense Dou Qi into solid fire.

Therefore, Xiao Xun'er is very likely a Dou Ling expert who is hiding her true cultivation level. In addition, based on what she just said, she should also have some kind of powerful background.

Before figuring out Xiao Xun'er's background, it's best not to have a conflict with her to avoid causing trouble that you can't handle.

After following Ge Ye out of the Xiao family gate, Nalan Sheng suddenly said, "Elder Ge, Yanran, I won't go back with you. I plan to stay in Wutan City for a while before returning."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Brother, why are you staying in Wutan City?"

"nonsense!"

Nalan Sheng rolled his eyes at Nalan Yanran and said, "I came to the Xiao family to annul the engagement without telling Grandpa and the old man."

If my grandparents find out about this, they'll skin me alive. Going back now would be like walking into a trap.

I'll travel around for a while longer, and go back once Grandpa and the others have calmed down a bit!

Hehe~

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran smiled somewhat shyly: "Brother, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."

In fact, the reason why Nalan Yanran encouraged Nalan Sheng to come to the Xiao family to annul the engagement was because she wanted him to help her share the burden.

"Who told me to end up with a sister like you?"

Nalan Sheng waved his hand helplessly and said, "Alright, you guys should go now!"

Seeing this, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran didn't say anything more and left Wutan City in four luxurious carriages.

After Nalan Sheng and Nalan Yanran parted ways, they stayed at the largest inn in Wutan City.

After entering the deluxe room on the third floor of the inn, Nalan Sheng first locked the door from the inside, and then brought up the system shop.

Since the system store has been open for more than half a month, Nalan Sheng is very familiar with the product information inside.

Nalan Sheng quickly scanned the items, finally fixing his gaze on the [Shadow Ninja Team Summoning Card], whose attributes were displayed as follows:

【Name: Shadow Ninja Team Summoning Card】

[Effect: Summons a combat squad of ten shadow ninjas, who will be 100% loyal to the summoner.]

[Price: 1000 Villain Points]

As soon as Nalan Sheng thought about it, the villain value on his character attribute panel was reduced by 1,000 points, and a silver-white card appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The card was only the size of a palm, with ten ninja figures dressed in ninja outfits and with scarlet eyes printed on the front, while the back was smooth as a mirror.

"Bang!!!"

Nalan Sheng raised his hand and waved it, sending the card flying out and exploding into a cloud of white smoke as it landed on the ground.

After the white smoke slowly dissipated, ten shadowy ninjas with grayish-blue skin and dressed in black ninja outfits appeared out of thin air in front of Nalan Sheng.

Looking at the shadowy ninjas that looked almost exactly like those in the anime, Nalan Sheng couldn't help but smile slightly, and then briefly tested their abilities.

After a series of simple tests, Nalan Sheng gained a more detailed understanding of the abilities of the Shadow Ninja.

The Shadow Ninjas are very versatile; they are not only skilled in using a variety of cold weapons, but also adept at chores such as washing clothes and cooking.

Unfortunately, the Shadow Ninja's strength was somewhat weak, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, and he couldn't even defeat a one-star Dou Zhe like Nalan Sheng.

Furthermore, since there is no Shadow Kingdom on the Dou Qi Continent, although Shadow Ninjas can move in shadows, they cannot sneak around in the shadows with Nalan Sheng like in the anime.

However, Nalan Sheng didn't expect the shadow ninja to be that powerful; he just wanted ten loyal servants!

With these tireless shadow ninjas around, Nalan Sheng will find it much easier to get things done in the future.

For example, when Nalan Sheng is sleeping, he can have the Shadow Ninja keep watch for him, or when he goes out to search for treasure, he can have the Shadow Ninja help him find treasure, and he doesn't have to worry about the news leaking out.

"Alright, you can all take refuge in my shadows for now!"

After testing the abilities of the shadow ninjas, Nalan Sheng pointed to his own shadow and said, "I will naturally summon you when needed in the future."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Upon hearing Nalan Sheng's words, the shadow ninjas instantly transformed into clusters of black shadows and merged into his shadow.

[The villain stat is really short-lived.]

Seeing that he only had a pitiful 33 villain points left, Nalan Sheng shook his head helplessly, then turned to look in the direction of the Xiao family, secretly thinking: [That guy Xiao Yan should have been accepted as Yao Lao's closed-door disciple by now, right? Looks like I'll be able to get a lot of villain points tomorrow, hehehehe...]

Nalan Sheng's lips curled into a wicked smile, and then he slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Thunderclap Technique.

……

next morning

Wutan City, Xiaojiafang Market.

Led by Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, dressed in a light blue dress, followed him to the entrance of Xiao Family Market with light steps.

Xiao Xun'er was in such a good mood not because Nalan Yanran had come to annul the engagement and given up her position as Xiao Yan's main wife, but because Xiao Yan had regained his confidence.

Xiao Xun'er was initially worried that Xiao Yan would be devastated by this incident, but she never expected that he would be reborn from the ashes.

Ever since Xiao Yan contracted that strange illness that caused his cultivation to regress for no reason, he has never gone out shopping with Xiao Xun'er again, so Xiao Xun'er is in a very good mood now.

"Young Master, Miss Xun'er, what brings you to the market?"

The guards responsible for watching over the market rushed to greet Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er with great respect upon their arrival.

The leading guard was a burly man who looked to be in his thirties. He wore a badge on his chest with six gold stars on it, indicating that he was a six-star warrior.

"Young Master, my name is Payne. I am the captain of the guard personally appointed by the clan chief, and I am responsible for protecting the safety of the market."

Before Xiao Yan could ask anything, the young man introduced himself: "I even toasted you last year on your birthday!"

"Oh, it's Uncle Payne. Long time no see."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

Xiao Yan had just felt something was strange. Although his cultivation talent had been restored, outsiders shouldn't have known about it so quickly.

Only a confidant of the clan leader like Payne could possibly maintain respect for Xiao Yan even knowing he was a good-for-nothing.
