I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Second time: You don’t want anyone to know about this, right?Xiao Fan was delayed midway by a letter from his Family.

It said that the girl he was betrothed to at birth had grown into a graceful young woman, and that the engagement banquet could now be held.

Xiao Fan remembered the birth betrothal; after all, he had memories of his previous life from the moment he was born, so he could recall even childhood events clearly.

The other party’s Family was also quite powerful, only slightly weaker than their Xiao Family.

Their clan also had several Great Ascension Old Ancestors, only a few dozen fewer than his own Family, so their strength was still relatively strong.

However, they couldn’t achieve what the Xiao Family did, with someone Ascending to the Immortal Realm every thousand years.

But the problem now was, if the girl wasn’t good-looking… well, if her beauty wasn’t obvious, could this engagement be called off?

It was well-known that in the Xuanhuan world, breaking off an engagement was a major taboo, and those who initiated it never came to a good end, so engagements needed to be extremely cautious.

Xiao Fan looked at the letter and fell into deep thought.

He spent a lot of time writing a Jade Slip and sent someone to deliver it back home.

He only replied with one message.

“First, draw her appearance and figure for me to see, then I’ll decide whether to go back for the engagement.

Only use realistic techniques; don’t bother with ink wash Concept, I can’t understand it… Forget it, just use a recording stone to record snippets of her daily life for me, that’s all.”

The main point was authenticity.

......

After some delay, when he arrived, he found that the guests had already entered the banquet.

Of course, he definitely had to find Ye Chen.

He saw Ye Chen excitedly, confidently, and proudly walking into the palace.

However, the moment Xiao Fan arrived, he stopped in his tracks.

The guests in the hall, seeing Taixuan Holy Son arrive, all stood up to greet him, cupping their hands in salute; no one dared to remain seated.

“Greetings, Holy Son,” the people in the hall shouted in unison.

“Why are you all standing? Sit, sit, today’s protagonist is Yaoguang Saintess; I’m just here to join the fun, no need for extra courtesies.”

Xiao Fan said casually, and accompanied by Xin Xi and Uncle Jiang, walked into the palace.

Ji Qingxue motioned to the beautiful woman beside her to arrange a seat for Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan, as a guest, followed the host’s arrangements and sat in a position equal to Ji Qingxue.

“This humble one heard that Taixuan Holy Son’s strength is formidable and his talent extraordinary. Seeing it today truly astounds this humble one,” Ji Qingxue said softly.

Xiao Fan politely responded with a couple of sentences:

“Just average, third in the world.”

“Besides my father and mother, no one in the world can suppress me.”

Ji Qingxue was stunned. This person spoke so unreliably, he was simply too arrogant.

The Cultivators in the palace, seeing Xiao Fan sit down, only then dared to relax their straight standing postures and sit down.

This was the sense of superiority brought by status and background.

“You all continue; I’ll just be an observer and won’t affect your Dao discussion,” Xiao Fan said.

Ji Qingxue had obtained the life-saving Pill Formula, so she had no mood for any Dao discussion conference. She now only wanted to pull Ye Chen back to her clan and have him refine Medicinal Pills for the clan elders.

Although his cultivation was low, he could direct. The clan had Body Fusion Elders, and after preparing the Spirit Medicine, they could refine Medicinal Pills on the spot to extend Lifespan.

Ji Qingxue then had Ye Chen walk to the front of the hall. Separated by a screen, she said, “Is the method you spoke of feasible? If you deceive me, you will bear the consequences.”

Ye Chen swore confidently, “As long as the Spirit Medicine is fully prepared and I direct it, this Medicinal Pill will definitely be refined.”

As the two discussed the Medicinal Pill, Xiao Fan clicked open Ji Qingxue’s golden script. As expected of a Child of Destiny, completing the Strategy should earn him a lot of villain points, right?

He didn’t care about Dao discussion; he just wanted to see if she had any weaknesses he could exploit.

[Ji Qingxue: The Reincarnation of a Great Luo, but her true self consciousness has been reshaped, equivalent to a new Soul. After Immortal Ascension, she will reshape her consciousness and Awaken her Great Luo memories.]

This immediately gave Xiao Fan a small Great Luo shock. Is her status really that high?

[Failed to cut three corpses, true self collapsed, good self and evil self sealed in the Reincarnation body, Reincarnated for a hundred generations, met the Son of Destiny Ye Chen, finally achieved Destiny, attained the Saint fruit position.]

Tsk tsk tsk, a Saint who Reincarnated for a hundred generations, truly terrifying.

Fortunately, she hasn’t grown yet, just a small Nascent Soul Cultivator, still manageable.

[Character Relationship: Three years ago, during an outdoor training journey, Ji Qingxue happened to encounter Ye Chen being chased and killed. She casually saved him and departed gracefully, leaving only a graceful silhouette, but it was deeply imprinted in Ye Chen’s heart.

After Rebirth, Ye Chen, relying on his memories from his previous life, learned that Ji Qingxue was the Saintess of Yaoguang Holy Land. He outwardly followed her but actually pursued her—returning kindness with enmity.

Ji Qingxue, seeing his Foundation Establishment cultivation, refused, stating that her actions that day were merely casual, and he owed her nothing. Ye Chen was enraged and left resentfully.

He didn’t think so. If he was saved by a woman whose beauty wasn’t obvious, he would work like an ox or a horse and repay her in the next life.

If he was saved by an unparalleled beauty like Ji Qingxue, he could only repay her by following her for life.

After being rejected, Ye Chen was not discouraged. Learning of Ji Qingxue’s predicament, he wanted to perform exceptionally in front of her to win her favor and prevent you from meeting Ji Qingxue.]

Seeing this, Xiao Fan was greatly disappointed in Ye Chen.

That’s it?

Vulgar! He clearly had the memories of an Immortal Emperor from his previous life. Relying on his knowledge from his past life, he could thrive and have a harem of wives and concubines without issue.

This guy’s idea was actually to follow Ji Qingxue?

Calling you a ’Feiyangyang’ is an insult to Feiyangyang.

Ye Chen truly is a Child of Destiny; even the female lead has a great background. But what’s the use? In the end, she can only be enjoyed by me.

[Facing Predicament: The Ji family’s Great Ascension Old Ancestor’s Lifespan is nearing its end, and external threats are constant. If the Ji family’s Old Ancestor’s Lifespan runs out, the Ji family will be carved up and fall apart.]

[Today, Ye Chen provided the Pill Formula for the Creation Star Pill, giving Ji Qingxue hope. She especially wants to invite him back to the Ji family to save their Old Ancestor.

If the Host does not obstruct, the fates of the two will be linked at this moment. Please severely suppress the Child of Destiny, and severely trample the Child of Destiny. Do not be gentle; women are meant to be conquered.]

[Detected the Child of Destiny’s Great Luo fate, villain points acquisition super doubled. Host, please work hard.]

Hiss, Xiao Fan just felt it was great.

System, it’s still you, more like a villain than me.

After learning the situation, Xiao Fan began to ponder countermeasures.

The Old Ancestor’s Lifespan is nearing its end?

I have it!

Xiao Fan came up with a plan that could not only control Ji Qingxue but also blacken Ye Chen in front of her. Hehehehe, I truly am a Genius.

Number one in sowing discord!

Xiao Fan sat quietly on the platform. Xin Xi sat beside him, thoughtfully brewing tea for him and washing and peeling the Spirit Fruit on the table.

If it were before, he would have taken it for granted.

But now, knowing Yu Yue and Xin Xi’s identities, he found it incredible.

“Um, Xin Xi.”

“What is it, Holy Son?” Xin Xi looked up, her bright peach-like eyes slightly surprised.

“You don’t have to do these things anymore,” he said, pointing to the teacup in her hand.

“Ah, is Xin Xi not doing well enough? Holy Son, please tell me, Xin Xi promises to change,” she said timidly.

Uh...

He could only use that trick.

He said indifferently, “From now on, without my command, you are not allowed to act without permission, do you understand?”

Xin Xi’s face flushed, and her body became unnaturally hot. She whispered, “Xin Xi understands.”

Uncle Jiang’s closed eyes opened slightly. He secretly shook his head, once again turning a blind eye.

The Young Lord is kind-hearted. Although his words are rather cold, his every action does not lie.

Towards a maid, he is cold on the outside but kind on the inside, considerate of his subordinates’ feelings. How can such a kind Young Lord survive in this dangerous Cultivation world?

“I’ll go back and tell the Family Head to strengthen the crisis education for the Young Lord. Kindness is a major taboo for Cultivators; he needs to learn how to nip things in the bud,” Uncle Jiang thought.

Ji Qingxue obtained the desired Pill Formula and hastily ended the Dao discussion conference.

And Ye Chen also got the opportunity to accompany Ji Qingxue into the Ji family to direct Alchemy.

Everyone dispersed, but Xiao Fan continued to carve a Jade Slip, not stopping even after everyone had left.

Ji Qingxue stood up to see him off and said softly, “I’m truly sorry. Today’s Dao discussion, this humble one has gained some insights into Alchemy and is eager to go back and try the effects.”

“Please forgive the inadequate hospitality, Holy Son.”

Xiao Fan stopped carving and gently sighed, “Phew, finally finished writing.”

He looked up at Ji Qingxue. Their eyes met. Her clear, bright eyes, in their invisible purity, also exuded a captivating charm.

Unlike Su Yiyun’s pure allure, Ji Qingxue’s eyes held only innocence and purity, and that charm was an innate elegant temperament.

Both had their own unique charms, equally matched. As expected of a Child of Destiny, she was beautiful.

“Are you done speaking?” Xiao Fan smiled.

Ji Qingxue nodded. Although Xiao Fan had just looked directly at her, making her feel a little uncomfortable, she didn’t think much of it, only considering it a misunderstanding.

“Mm.”

“I have something to say to you. Is it convenient to talk alone?” Xiao Fan smiled.

Ji Qingxue pondered for a moment and nodded, “Of course, no problem.”

Ye Chen had a bad premonition. He wanted to stop all this, but he had no say here.

“You two, please step out for a moment.”

Xiao Fan nodded to Uncle Jiang. Uncle Jiang quietly exited, casually ushering Ye Chen out.

Xin Xi, however, remained still, not moving an inch. Another mischievous fox!

I promised my sister I wouldn’t let the mischievous fox get close to the Holy Son.

“Xin Xi, you go out for a moment too.”

“Xin Xi won’t go out,” she responded. “You can say whatever you want; I promise not to tell anyone.”

Xiao Fan had a headache. How can I threaten her if you’re here?

It seems I can only use the same old trick!

“Cough cough.” Xiao Fan gently stroked Xin Xi’s fair, warm, and delicate face, and said coldly, “The master’s command is absolute, understand?”

Xin Xi felt her body soften, unable to show any resistance in her eyes. She said, “But, I…”

Xiao Fan gently lifted Xin Xi’s chin with his right hand. Their eyes met, and Xiao Fan lightly tapped her rosy lips, saying, “This is your reward. Don’t push your Luck.”

A tingling electric current came from her lips, short-circuiting her brain.

“Yes, Xin... Xin Xi will go out now.” She felt dizzy, as if she had been broken.

Ji Qingxue looked surprised. Although maids had the function of assisting in cultivation and satisfying physiological needs, she had never seen such intimacy in front of outsiders.

Ji Qingxue was still innocent and inexperienced. Seeing this scene, her face immediately flushed. She said, “Just tell me what you want.”

Xiao Fan handed her the Jade Slip he had carved.

“See if there’s anything you need.”

Something she needed? Ji Qingxue was puzzled.

Her Divine Sense probed into it, first with confusion, then her expression gradually became solemn, and finally, her eyes widened in horror, saying, “You’re trying to threaten me!”

Xiao Fan: “You wouldn’t want this matter to be known, would you?”
