Villain System: Stealing the Protagonist's Harem and Luck

Chapter 136: My Favorite Bone to Dig; Lord Long Teng Will Appreciate You

Pfft!

Blood sprayed across the jagged rocks as a pitch-black blade light tore through the air, instantly extinguishing the Seventh Princess’s primordial spirit.

Though Gu Xianer often seemed to suffer at Gu Changge’s hands, she was a disciple raised by the old monsters of Peach Village. Her true nature was forged in blood and iron; she was as decisive a killer as any. At this point, mercy was a luxury she couldn’t afford. The Sea King Palace had hounded her for days, and the Seventh Princess had personally led the hunt—there was no reason to let her live.

As the life faded from her eyes, the Seventh Princess’s body reverted to its massive true form: a gargantuan golden sea fish shimmering with divine intent. Black and white markings spiraled across its scales, hinting at a distant, prestigious Kunpeng bloodline.

“At least it’s not in human form anymore,” Gu Xianer muttered, her expression returning to a cold, business-like calm. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the stomach for this.”

Right under Gu Changge’s amused gaze, she unsheathed her black blade and began to methodically butcher the carcass. She moved with practiced ease, clearly no stranger to field dressing high-level prey. To her, the corpse of a peak Conferred King sea beast was both a gourmet delicacy and a treasure trove of materials.

Gu Changge watched her with interest, making no move to intervene. He knew that despite her formidable background, Xianer’s personal finances were actually quite dire compared to most young supremes. Her first act after the kill was to snatch the Seventh Princess’s storage ring, clutching it as if she feared he might rob her.

“Look at you, so desperately poor. I can hardly stand to watch,” Gu Changge said, shaking his head with a look of mock pity.

In a typical heroic story, this would be the moment the older brother produced some legendary artifacts to “relieve” his struggling sister. Gu Changge, however, felt no such impulse. He preferred to poke at her sore spots.

Xianer shot him a glare, her pride as sharp as her blade. She reached deep into the fish’s skull, her delicate hands coming out stained with golden blood, clutching a brilliant talisman bone that pulsed with black and gold light.

She tossed it directly at Gu Changge’s feet with a provocative smirk. “Here. Since digging out bones is your favorite hobby.”

Gu Changge looked at the bone, then at her.

Xianer didn’t flinch. She met his gaze with a triumphant, “what are you going to do about it?” expression. Gu Changge, never one to disappoint, decided to oblige her.

Just as before, he raised a hand.

BOOM!

A golden palm descended like the Five-Finger Mountain of legend, suppressing the air and crushing Xianer’s rising aura instantly.

SLAP!

“Gu Changge! One day… one day I will return every bit of this to you!”

Xianer’s face turned a shade of red that would put a boiled shrimp to shame. She gnashed her teeth in fury and humiliation, but Changge was already done with her. He signaled his followers and began to walk away, leaving her pinned under the fading weight of his golden palm.

As she struggled to break free, she cursed him with every breath, wishing he’d choke on his next drink or suffer a spectacular Qi Deviation during his next breakthrough.

“If only I could have found a latrine…”

High in the air, Gu Changge looked back with a trace of genuine regret. He truly believed a few years of suppression at the bottom of a cesspit would do wonders for Xianer’s attitude. What was a younger sister for, if not for bullying?

Still, he knew better than to smother her growth. A Daughter of Providence like Gu Xianer needed to be “free-range.” She had her own Fated Chances to find, and he was happy to let her do the heavy lifting while he focused on his own gains.

He opened his attribute panel. His recent “protection” of Xianer had netted him a tidy sum.

Master: Gu Changge

Halo: Destiny Villain

Identity: True Disciple of Daootian Immortal Palace, Young Master of the Immortal Gu Family

Cultivation: Conferred King Realm Late Stage (True: Heavenly God Realm Peak)

Destiny Points: 20,000

Luck Points: 3,500 (Black)

“It’s been a while since I’ve upgraded my ‘official’ strength,” he mused. He had no desire to spend decades studying the Daootian Immortal Scripture. He dumped his points into the system.

Buzz!

His cultivation broke through a major barrier, stabilizing at the Initial Stage of the Void God Realm. Simultaneously, the Daootian Immortal Scripture reached its ninth layer, flooding his mind with new secret arts and divine abilities. With his Transcendence talent acting as a multiplier, the qualitative leap in his combat power was staggering.

“Now then,” he smiled, his eyes glinting with a dark light. “Let’s see what kind of surprise my scapegoat, Ye Ling, has prepared for me.”

He picked up the scent of the aura Yin Mei had left behind and vanished into the horizon.

The news hit the Immortal Ancient Continent like a hurricane.

The Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace—a warrior with an “invincible” reputation and peak Conferred King cultivation—had been obliterated. The story of Gu Changge’s arrival and his effortless slaughter of multiple young supremes spread like a major earthquake, leaving the younger generation in a state of paralysis.

“A Young Taboo…”

The phrase was whispered with a mix of reverence and soul-deep terror. In the Upper Realm, you could find geniuses in every valley. But a Young Taboo? That was a title reserved for those who could fight two entire major realms above their own—the monsters who appeared once in a million years.

Gu Changge had revealed only a late Conferred King cultivation, yet he had crushed a peak-level supreme and her entire army in seconds. People began to speculate that his true realm was far higher. To the other young supremes, he was no longer a rival. He was a mountain looming over them, so heavy it made it difficult to even breathe.

Outside an ancient cave spewing immortal mist, Ye Langtian heard the news and let out a bitter, hollow laugh. He had only recently reached the middle stage of the Conferred King Realm.

“To be mentioned in the same breath as Brother Gu… is an insult to him,” he sighed. He wasn’t losing his Dao Heart; he was simply recognizing a reality that could no longer be ignored.

The Dragon’s Challenge

In the eastern region of the continent, a different kind of war was being waged.

Mountain ranges were being reduced to gravel, and lakes were evaporating into steam as the aftershocks of a titanic battle rippled for thousands of miles. Two women were locked in a dance of death.

Yue Mingkong moved with the grace of a painting come to life, her loose robes fluttering as she unleashed blinding silver light. In her hands, silver vines took root in the very air, their leaves glowing with a brilliance that threatened to drown the world. This was an Emperor Art, a technique of supreme lineage.

Yet, she was being held back.

Her opponent was a tall, fierce woman with majestic dragon horns. She wore simple, rugged attire that did little to hide a wild, domineering aura. Her blood and Qi surged with the intensity of a juvenile True Dragon. Every time she swung her arm, the void buckled and tore.

“The Reserve Empress is terrifyingly strong,” onlooking monks whispered. “But who is that horned woman? Her cultivation is at the Void God Realm… she doesn’t look like anyone from the outside world!”

“Wait… could she be from the Immortal Ancient Remnant Race?”

The realization sent a jolt through the crowd. The Remnant Race—the descendants of those who lived through the primordial era—were supposed to be extinct or hidden. If they were here, then the other indigenous tribes were nothing more than their subjects. These people possessed true primordial bloodlines; their ancestors were said to have surpassed even the True Immortals.

Yue Mingkong remained composed, but her mind was racing. As a reincarnator, she knew the Remnant Race existed, and she knew the woman before her was a peak genius of their kind.

She also knew of a man named Long Teng. In her previous life, Long Teng was a man of “True Dragon Aptitude,” a self-obsessed genius who believed he was second to no one under heaven. He had once left the continent and challenged every prodigy in the Upper Realm, never tasting defeat… until he mysteriously vanished.

Now, Mingkong realized the most likely reason for his disappearance in that timeline: he must have crossed paths with Gu Changge.

The Dragon Girl parried a blast of silver light and spoke in the tongue of the outsiders, her voice echoing with pride.

“Outsider, you have skill. If we were in the same realm, I might actually struggle against you.” She leveled a cold stare at Mingkong. “I will give you one chance. Submit to our contemporary heir, Lord Long Teng. He has a taste for exceptional women. He will appreciate you.”
