I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

A woman’s heart is as deep as the seaJiang Lanzhi snorted coldly and flew out alone, rushing in with a whoosh.

She charged straight into the entrance at the bottom; for her, dealing with this Demon Mother Nest was actually not difficult.

She also saw that this Demon Mother Nest was repelling Void Refinement Cultivators, indicating that the strength of this Mother Nest was not yet capable of refining Void Refining Cultivators.

Xiao Fan followed closely behind, sticking to her side. With his Soul Transformation Late Stage cultivation, he also entered.

This precisely confirmed her idea: the Demon Mother Nest’s strength was at the Soul Transformation Late Stage.

With her Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, confronting a Soul Transformation Late Stage Cultivator, killing might be difficult, but contending or even defeating was not a problem.

Although she didn’t particularly like this guy, his strength was unquestionable.

He was definitely invincible in peer-level combat.

With both of them working together, their chances of killing the Mother Nest were even greater.

Xiao Fan said, ”Jiang Lan Zhi, it’s very dangerous inside. I’ll protect you.”

Saying that, he shielded Jiang Lanzhi in front of him, covering her back.

Jiang Lanzhi listened to his words and felt that this guy still had some conscience.

But his actions made her grit her teeth in anger. This guy only talked nonsense, clearly using her as a pathfinder, yet saying he would protect her.

I have never seen such a shameless person!

Feeling the fluctuation in Jiang Lanzhi’s emotions, Xiao Fan chuckled inwardly, ’You’re still too easy to toy with, hehehehehe...’

After entering the Mother Nest, both of them were attacked by various strange and bizarre creatures that would suddenly grow out of the flesh walls on the ground.

Or they would suddenly burst out from the flesh walls above, or on the left and right sides, making it impossible to guard against them all.

Jiang Lanzhi’s strength was considerable; she dealt with these small fries one by one with her blade.

Xiao Fan, on the other hand, steadily covered the rear, unmoving, preventing enemies from attacking from behind.

Jiang Lanzhi was slightly annoyed. This guy was clearly slacking off in the back, not putting in any effort.

Forget it, she still needed to gain his support, so she would endure for now.

Xiao Fan paid no attention; he had his own plan.

His Divine-Demonic Body began to stir.

Especially the demonic nature, which almost wanted to occupy Xiao Fan’s body. It kept begging to come out and thoroughly devour the Devilish Qi here.

For it, the Devilish Qi of the Northern Underworld Demon Cave and this Demon Mother Nest were all great tonics.

Xiao Fan snorted coldly in his heart, scaring the demonic nature into timidly shrinking back.

He quietly cut a wound on his index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood from his Divine-Demonic Body, all of it demonic blood, with the divine nature stripped away by him.

The demonic nature emanating from it made the Demon Mother Nest tremble, but at the same time, it yearned intensely to devour this drop of demonic blood.

Xiao Fan’s Divine-Demonic Body could clearly feel the Demon Mother Nest’s Thrilling, wanting to snatch it but also extremely wary of the pressure on the demonic blood.

Even the attacks on the two of them lessened considerably.

Xiao Fan sneered in his heart, ”Do you want it?”

Here!

Immediately after, he directly dripped this drop of blood onto the flesh wall beneath his feet. The demonic blood began to seep in, and the entire Mother Nest became jubilant.

The next moment, the Demon Mother Nest’s Aura suddenly changed, becoming even more ferocious and violent, with Evil Qi soaring to the sky!

Just one drop of demonic blood caused it to undergo a transformation, showing the power of the Divine-Demonic Body.

The Mother Nest’s change made Jiang Lanzhi’s expression solemn.

”It’s transforming, oh no!”

Xiao Fan’s expression also changed slightly as he said, ”What happened?”

”Something’s wrong, this Mother Nest has changed. It’s probably reached the point of transformation. Just now, it completely began to transform, and its strength will greatly increase.”

”We need to move faster, rush in, and strip out the demonic core inside. Only then can we stop it.”

Xiao Fan, on the other hand, said ”worriedly,” ”This is too dangerous. Let’s go and get some other people down here.”

Jiang Lanzhi refused to leave. She truly needed this demonic core. She had a method to refine the demonic core, which could greatly enhance her body’s recovery ability.

”No, I can’t leave.”

Now they were not far from the demonic core, and she could get it soon. She didn’t want all her efforts to be in vain.

Xiao Fan stepped forward at the right time, grabbing Jiang Lanzhi’s hand and pulling her behind him, without allowing any argument.

He smiled, ”Since you want to go, then I will go with you this time.”

”You paved the way for me for the first half, so let me protect you for the rest of the way.”

Jiang Lanzhi wanted to say something, but seeing his resolute face and his broad back, a thousand words in her heart turned into silence.

She just softly ”Mm” and then quietly stood behind him.

As if by a ghost’s whim, she moved closer to Xiao Fan, feeling his warm Aura, and Jiang Lanzhi’s jade-like hand slowly clutched his sleeve.

Xiao Fan turned his head, a graceful smile on his face, a look that conveyed everything was under control.

He showed off a little, but his expression was incredibly serious, with sweat beading on his forehead.

He could only unleash 1% of his strength each time.

The difficulty of controlling his power was far greater than the difficulty of killing these demons. Not only that, he also had to occasionally let two small demons slip through to exhaust Jiang Lanzhi’s stamina.

He had to appear to be struggling greatly, but not be defeated too early, otherwise, they wouldn’t reach the demonic core.

He was meticulously careful, afraid that he might accidentally smash this Mother Nest with a single punch.

This feeling was like opening a bottle cap with an excavator bucket; if you’re not careful, you’ll break the bottle, the difficulty coefficient is extremely high!

Jiang Lanzhi lent a hand, but she had been fighting for the first half, and though she had some reserves, her body was already fatigued and could only deal with the small fry Xiao Fan missed.

After its transformation, the Demon Mother Nest’s strength greatly increased.

Jiang Lanzhi, who could previously kill one with each strike, now had to go all out, even getting entangled in prolonged fights, to kill them.

Looking at the strong figure in front of her, and the difficulty he displayed, the serious tension on his face, Jiang Lanzhi’s long-dormant heart stirred again.

Did he foresee this sudden change, and that’s why he conserved his stamina in the first half?

But he understood my needs, so he pretended to use me as a shield.

The purpose was to prevent me from feeling guilty and to allow me to accept his protection with peace of mind.

After all, he knew I was hostile towards him and understood that I wouldn’t accept his kindness.

Thinking of this, everything seemed to make sense.

He wasn’t short of women, and even if he married by imperial decree, he wouldn’t have much patience for me, especially since I always had a stern face towards him, making it even more impossible to win his favor.

Although he acted shamelessly, it seemed he was always thinking of me.

Couldn’t the vast Tai Xuan Holy Land find a few Genius Disciples to deal with the Demon Mother Nest?

He was doing this to work for the Tai Xuan Holy Land so he could receive the Tai Xuan Holy Land’s support!

Otherwise, how could a small Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like her possibly enter the Dharma Eye of the Tai Xuan Holy Land?

Thinking of this, her long-sealed heart began to tremble, ’What exactly did you go through to cause such a drastic change in your personality...’

In Xiao Fan’s mind, the System’s voice rang out.

”Ding, Jiang Lanzhi’s favorability towards you has increased. Conquest progress 12%.”

No surprise, I’m working so hard, it’s normal to gain some favor, right?

But then, the System’s voice kept echoing, making Xiao Fan feel that something was abnormal.

”Ding, Jiang Lanzhi’s favorability towards you has increased. Conquest progress 15%.”

”Ding, Jiang Lanzhi’s favorability towards you has increased. Conquest progress 20%.”

”Ding, Jiang Lanzhi’s favorability towards you has increased. Conquest progress 26%.”

Xiao Fan was a bit confused. How did her favorability become so easy to increase?

What he didn’t know was that a woman’s ability to overthink was truly powerful.

As long as she liked you, you didn’t need to deceive her; she would deceive herself!

Jiang Lanzhi, from the rear, directed Xiao Fan towards the demonic core’s location.

”Go left, and at the next fork, take the right path.”

Her tone, though not very gentle, had lost its coldness.

Xiao Fan was secretly pleased, ’My hard acting wasn’t in vain.’

Finally, the two reached the center of the Mother Nest and saw an olive-shaped purple crystal, about a zhang high, quietly suspended there.

Around the crystal, there were also three ethereal-looking monsters, clearly Void Refining Stage Demons that had undergone transformation.

”How about we retreat?” Jiang Lanzhi said, looking at the panting, exhausted Xiao Fan.

She didn’t want Xiao Fan to be in danger.

”Huh?”

Xiao Fan was stunned. ’No, I’m about to finish the act, and you want me to retreat?’

No!

He said affectionately:

”Although our engagement is complete, I haven’t given you an engagement gift yet. Let this demonic core be my token of love for you.”

His body was covered in the blood of demons, and he looked messy, yet a tender smile appeared on his face as he tightly held Jiang Lanzhi’s hand.

Their eyes met.

Jiang Lanzhi was momentarily lost in thought, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion. He...

Xiao Fan seized the opportunity, lightly touching her crystal-clear, rosy cherry lips, a brief touch and then he pulled away.

Jiang Lanzhi’s delicate eyebrows trembled slightly. She touched her red lips with her jade-like hand, a little dazed, her heart fluttering.

”Wait for me.”

Xiao Fan said with a smile, releasing her hand and turning to leave.

But Jiang Lanzhi actively pulled him back.

She wanted to speak softly, but years of practicing the Dao of ruthlessness made her tone a bit awkward.

”You, if there’s danger, run. Don’t fight to the death, you must live.”

As if her face was a little flushed, she immediately found an excuse for herself.

”Of course, don’t think too much. I’m not worried about you; I’m just afraid Auntie would be sad.”

”Hmph!”

After speaking, she quickly pulled away from Xiao Fan’s hand, afraid of revealing her true feelings.

”Ding, Jiang Lanzhi’s favorability towards you has increased. Conquest progress 49%.”

”Ding, Jiang Lanzhi’s favorability towards you has increased. Conquest progress 60%.”

This soaring favorability made Xiao Fan see the hope of Jiang Lanzhi warming his bed.

You can’t escape my grasp!
