Villain System: Stealing the Protagonist's Harem and Luck

Chapter 107: Openly Snatching Fated Chances; Impossible to Escape Gu Changge’s Poisonous Hand

Whoever she wants to kill, he will kill?

Was this Gu Changge’s unique way of showing concern?

It sounded only like an endless wave of slaughter washing over her.

At this moment, Yue Mingkong’s emotions were a tangled mess. She had never expected Gu Changge to say something that touched her so deeply.

Perhaps… she wasn’t completely absent from his heart, but for him, her weight wasn’t that great.

The condition was: Do not touch his secrets or interests. Otherwise, turning hostile was not impossible for Gu Changge.

Whether in her past life or now, Gu Changge’s ruthless nature hadn’t changed; only the way it was revealed differed.

In her past life, she was gentle and submissive, so he treated her with indifference, like a disposable pawn at critical moments.

In this life, she was powerful, iron-blooded, controlled the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, sought immense power, and even hid the trump card of being a regressor.

Thus, Gu Changge found her useful, hence his current attitude.

Thinking of this, Yue Mingkong understood. Although she knew he wasn’t moved by affection, her heart felt somewhat better than before.

Ding!

[System Prompt: Daughter of Providence Yue Mingkong’s attitude has shifted.] [Luck Points +800] [Destiny Points +4,000]

Gu Changge heard the notification and felt somewhat satisfied inwardly. It seemed his words weren’t without effect.

Yue Mingkong naturally still held killing intent toward him, but like Gu Xianer, with her current means, she couldn’t achieve it.

Moreover, unlike Gu Xianer, in this life, he and Yue Mingkong had no hatred or enmity between them.

The timeline she experienced had too many differences compared to this life.

Even if Yue Mingkong wanted revenge, she couldn’t show it openly, as it would expose her biggest secret.

And Gu Changge happened to know that very secret.

Grasping this lifeline, subduing Yue Mingkong wasn’t difficult.

“If you don’t say it, I can investigate it myself,” Gu Changge said, his expression having returned to calm indifference, as if he would use other means if Yue Mingkong didn’t speak.

Ye Ling was a Son of Providence.

But what means he exactly had, Gu Changge didn’t know.

He wanted this information, and it relied on Yue Mingkong telling him herself.

It was also a chance to pressure her.

Hearing this, Yue Mingkong hesitated slightly, averting her beautiful eyes to avoid his gaze.

Under his interested expression, she felt somewhat flustered.

If this matter wasn’t handled well, it might arouse Gu Changge’s suspicion.

He would easily investigate that she actually had no enmity with Ye Ling; the two had never even met before.

So how to explain her plot to assassinate Ye Ling?

Killing someone she had never met and had no grudge with—was she crazy?

Gu Changge was extremely shrewd; it was hard to hide anything from him.

This made Yue Mingkong conflicted, lightly pinching her sleeve.

Indeed, nothing good ever comes from dealing with him.

“Actually… it’s not a big deal,” she said after weighing her words. “I found records of an Ancient Heavenly Venerate’s inheritance in some old texts. When I went to retrieve it, I discovered that Ye Ling had beaten me to it…”

She had no choice but to come up with this reasonable explanation that wouldn’t expose her secret.

After all, plotting to seize others’ Fated Chances, though not honorable, wasn’t inappropriate in this world where the weak are prey to the strong.

In her past life, she definitely couldn’t have done it, but in this life, she had done many similar things.

To resist Gu Changge, she had to grow stronger and seize various known Fated Chances to empower herself.

She just didn’t expect Ye Ling to be so troublesome this time; even after laying a trap, he still escaped.

According to her past life’s experience, Ye Ling wasn’t a simple person, rising step by step from weakness to become an extremely terrifying existence in the Upper Realm.

Now that hatred had formed, if not resolved, he would definitely become a major threat.

Ye Ling wouldn’t let her off either.

Hearing this, Gu Changge immediately showed a somewhat enlightened expression, then said with a hint of mockery, “I didn’t expect it to be for this reason. It really surprises your husband, Mingkong, that you are such a ruthless person.”

“I thought someone had offended you, but it turns out you were plotting to seize someone’s Fated Chance, wanting to kill to seize treasure.”

“The old you wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

As he spoke, he shook his head with a somewhat regretful and disappointed expression toward Yue Mingkong.

Gu Changge said this naturally to cooperate with Yue Mingkong.

But he also learned much information.

So Ye Ling was the inheritor of some Ancient Heavenly Venerate.

This made Gu Changge somewhat enlightened; it completely fit the counterattack and face-slapping trope.

Some mediocre or trash youth, by chance, obtains a supreme expert’s inheritance, then rises all the way, crushing all opposition, subduing all beauties.

Ancient Heavenly Venerates were ancient existences self-sealed in the Mythological Era, powerful beyond imagination, said to have touched the Immortal Dao domain, or perhaps stood in that domain.

Even stirring the River of Time wasn’t impossible.

The emergence of any Ancient Heavenly Venerate’s inheritance would definitely shock various Supreme Orthodoxies and Immortal Sects, more astonishing than any Ancient Emperor’s tomb, enough to attract all sides.

Ye Ling had quietly obtained an Ancient Heavenly Venerate’s inheritance, which might include various remnants, such as the Heavenly Venerate’s array patterns, weapons, divine pills, etc.

No wonder the current Yue Mingkong couldn’t deal with him.

“I was forced into this by you,” Yue Mingkong retorted expressionlessly, glancing at him. “Don’t act like you’re a good person. Your ruthlessness, Gu Changge, is far beyond mine.”

Her words carried thick resentment.

Even if her methods were ten thousand times more vicious, they were far inferior to Gu Changge’s.

Others might not know, but she did?

Just Gu Changge’s hidden Forbidden Demonic Art had secretly harmed who knows how many geniuses and beings, countless.

If Gu Changge’s true strength were exposed, it would definitely shock the world, all cultivators would be furious and terrified, coming to kill him.

Then it would be a situation of being enemies with the entire world.

How could he still develop secretly in the dark?

Of course, without evidence, even if exposed, probably few would believe it.

After all, the Forbidden Demonic Art had long disappeared in the River of Time, its inheritance cut off, destroyed by all sects and orthodoxies.

How did Gu Changge obtain it?

It was a complete mystery.

Yue Mingkong suspected it was related to Gu Changge’s mysterious Master behind him, but she had never seen Gu Changge reveal such matters.

“Don’t say that,” Gu Changge said, rarely putting away his faint smile. “In this world, being a bit ruthless isn’t a bad thing.”

“Good people only live short lives. Bad people live longer.”

Hearing this, Yue Mingkong fell silent.

In her past life, she would have scoffed at such words, thinking them too absolute. Were good people wrong?

Good people weren’t wrong, but they were destined not to live long.

Since ancient times, which existence standing at the peak didn’t have endless blood on their hands?

She now deeply agreed with all this.

“So, which Ancient Heavenly Venerate’s inheritance did Ye Ling obtain? Your husband might help you deal with him,” Gu Changge asked again with a faint smile.

Yue Mingkong glanced at him. “The Ancient Reincarnation Heavenly Venerate.”

Such matters couldn’t be hidden; Gu Changge could investigate too easily, especially now that Ye Ling had appeared in Immeasurable Heaven.

She might as well be frank.

As for Gu Changge saying he would help her deal with Ye Ling? Yue Mingkong didn’t believe it at all.

It sounded nice, but wasn’t it just wanting to swallow Ye Ling’s inheritance and Fated Chance?

After killing Ye Ling, the inheritance would fall into Gu Changge’s hands.

Yue Mingkong didn’t believe Gu Changge would be so kind as to give her the inheritance.

“Ancient Reincarnation Heavenly Venerate, the power of reincarnation…”

Gu Changge narrowed his eyes.

The power of reincarnation involved time, a supreme power like space.

Now he already possessed the Void Talent; evolving it into spatial rules, the Great Dao of Space, spatial origin, etc., wasn’t impossible.

The power of reincarnation, he was quite moved by it.

Seeing Gu Changge’s expression, Yue Mingkong understood—he was already targeting Ye Ling.

She couldn’t help but feel bitter inwardly, having her Fated Chance snatched right in front of her by Gu Changge.

She knew Gu Changge’s terror well and had no confidence to seize it from his hands.

Although Ye Ling was hard to deal with, she was at least a regressor with foreknowledge, daring to resist even Gu Changge, so why fear his revenge?

But after today, Ye Ling would likely become Gu Changge’s prey.

Once targeted by Gu Changge, what good outcome could Ye Ling have?

Even at Ye Ling’s peak in her past life, he almost died at Gu Changge’s hands, eventually disappearing without a trace.

The current Ye Ling had even less chance to escape Gu Changge’s poisonous hand.

“Why the long face? Your husband is helping you snatch a Fated Chance. Aren’t you happy?” Gu Changge chuckled, seeing her expression.

Although he would definitely take the big share, he didn’t mind leaving some scraps for Yue Mingkong.

He wasn’t that heartless, plucking every feather without leaving anything.

Hearing this, Yue Mingkong was already too lazy to respond, not wanting to speak to him.

Anyway, in the Daoist Celestial Palace, after some time, the Immortal Path would appear. She happened to know where the Immortal Spirit would emerge, so she could just wait in advance.

The Immortal Spirit was no worse than an Ancient Heavenly Venerate’s inheritance.

Although Gu Changge had also been plotting the Immortal Spirit for a long time, Yue Mingkong believed he couldn’t gain much advantage over her.

Subsequently, Yue Mingkong also stayed at Supreme Peak, preparing to wait for the upcoming Immortal Path matter.

After all, she and Gu Changge had both a marriage contract and a conjugal relationship; she didn’t care much.

No one dared to gossip.

News of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty’s Crown Prince Yue Mingkong arriving at the Daoist Celestial Palace quickly spread like wildfire, causing huge waves.

Whether disciples of the Daoist Celestial Palace or cultivators from other forces, all felt shocked.

After all, Gu Changge’s deterrent force was already terrifying enough.

Now with his fiancée Yue Mingkong by his side, walking together, who in the younger generation could resist?

Now various orthodoxies and sects gathered in Daoist Celestial Ancient City, many young geniuses appearing, even many previously unseen young supremes were showing up, coming from various heavens of the inner domain, displaying powerful strength.

For a time, storms surged.

…

Meanwhile.

Deep in the Daoist Celestial Palace, clouds and mist swirled as if standing above the Nine Heavens. Inside a simple, tall palace.

Terrifying aura reverberated, divine light intertwined, extremely oppressive, as if scenes of world creation were evolving.

The Elders of the Daoist Celestial Palace, with grave and somewhat unpleasant expressions, were discussing matters here.

The Grand Elder sat at the head, his face clear and bony, with an immortal demeanor, white robe fluttering.

“Now various major orthodoxies are gathered in Daoist Celestial Ancient City, wanting to force us to open the deep regions for their young disciples to train. What do you Elders think?”

Beside the Grand Elder, a gentle-looking, middle-aged man in blue robes with a long beard spoke.

He stood tall, eyes like stars, white hair like snow, very heroic.

Around him seemed to float light and leaping shadows, dreamlike.

He was the current Palace Master of the Daoist Celestial Palace, usually cultivating in seclusion deep within, rarely appearing, with unfathomable cultivation.

Hearing the Palace Master’s words, many Elders fell silent.

At this point, it was no longer something they could decide.

“Palace Master, I think this matter still needs discussion with all sides,” a tall, robust Elder with astonishing vitality stood up—the current Second Elder of the Daoist Celestial Palace, also an old monster with unfathomable cultivation.

He frowned, also very annoyed by this.

The emergence of immortal treasures was just an excuse; various orthodoxies and forces had long been eyeing that Ancient Immortal Continent.

But because they had also cultivated in the Daoist Celestial Palace before, they couldn’t speak openly, so they sent young disciples.

This scheme was well understood by the Daoist Celestial Palace Elders.

“The Ancient Immortal Continent has many Fated Chances but also heavy dangers, with Ancient Immortal Mist shrouding different regions. Even if we enter, it’s hard to know the exact direction. The younger generation going in might very likely die inside…” many Elders spoke up.

The Second Elder’s words gained everyone’s agreement. Although the deep regions could be opened, what if accidents happened?

If they wanted to enter, fine, but they must take responsibility themselves.

Additionally, each orthodoxy and force must have a responsible person; otherwise, if they blamed the Daoist Celestial Palace, wouldn’t that be unjust?

“Since so, then it’s decided,” the Daoist Celestial Palace Palace Master nodded slowly. “The younger generation who want to go can do so themselves; life and death are their own responsibility.”

“However, with so many young geniuses gathering, conflicts are inevitable. As the host, the Daoist Celestial Palace…”

“…needs someone to hold the line. Among the Five True Disciples, Chu Wuji has suffered Dao Heart damage and returned to the Great Chu Dynasty…”

“The other three True Disciples are all in seclusion, probably won’t appear for a while. Do we rely on the remaining True Disciples? But their cultivation is weaker; they might not be able to suppress the scene.”

At this moment, several Elders thought of another matter, speaking softly, secretly observing the Grand Elder’s expression.

They deliberately didn’t mention Gu Changge because of this.

Recently, the conflict between Gu Changge and the Grand Elder had spread throughout the Daoist Celestial Palace.

At this time, if they recommended Gu Changge, where would that leave the Grand Elder’s face?
