I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Xia Huaxuan’s Regret“System, if I remember correctly, she didn’t have a golden script before, did she?” Xiao Fan thought to himself.

“Normal. When Looting Luck Sword kills someone, she also gets a portion of the Luck.”

“With a change in fate, it’s not impossible for her to take its place.”

“Time and fate.”

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fan clicked on the golden script above Xia Huaxuan’s head to view her past.

“Xia Huaxuan: A newly promoted Daughter of Luck. Due to her decisive killing of Fei Yangyang and gaining a portion of the Looting Luck Sword’s Luck, her fate has undergone a transformation.”

“Life Story: The daughter of the Valley Master of Fallen Leaves Valley. After her family was destroyed, she joined Hundred Flowers Holy Land.

Fallen Leaves Valley, a small School where the strongest Cultivator was only in the Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Phase. When Xia Huaxuan was twelve, a spiritual spring appeared in the back mountain of Fallen Leaves Valley, from which a peerless Cultivation Technique flew out, accompanied by radiant light, countless spiritual insects, and Spiritual Plants everywhere.”

“It turns out that this Fallen Leaves Valley was once a blessed land and grotto-heaven of a powerful force in ancient times, which became unremarkable due to the passage of years.”

“And because of the erosion of time, this blessed land and grotto-heaven resurfaced.”

“There was an internal traitor in Fallen Leaves Valley, and the news of the blessed land and grotto-heaven spread rapidly. An innocent man is guilty for possessing a treasure. A force with only a Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Phase Cultivator was destined to be unable to protect this blessed land and grotto-heaven. Fallen Leaves Valley wanted to relocate to avoid disaster.”

“A noble family, the Wang Family. After learning of this, they sealed off the news and confined everyone from Fallen Leaves Valley within the Valley, forcibly seizing the blessed land and grotto-heaven.

The people of Fallen Leaves Valley dared not resist, because they were too weak. Any random person from the other side was a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator. They submitted, only wishing to survive.”

“The Wang Family seized the blessed land and grotto-heaven, took away the spiritual spring, and to conceal the truth and prevent the incident from being exposed, the Wang Family eradicated everyone from Fallen Leaves Valley.”

“Xia Huaxuan was also pursued at the time, but she was lucky. She fell off a cliff, triggered a teleportation array, escaped the pursuit, and joined Hundred Flowers Holy Land, changing her appearance to evade further pursuit.”

“Cultivation Motivation: The Wang Family is a moderately sized noble family, with their strongest Cultivator only at the Body Integration Realm. Xia Huaxuan’s goal is to diligently cultivate, become a Combination Stage Cultivator, or even a Great Ascension cultivator, to destroy the Wang Family and avenge her Senior Brother, Senior Sister, father, and mother from Fallen Leaves Valley.”

“She is currently facing a Cultivation Bottleneck and needs to Breakthrough, which is why she sought you out.”

This summary was rather conventional, barely qualifying her as a revenge-driven female protagonist.

It’s just, why did she come to me for a Breakthrough Bottleneck? Do I look like such a pushover?

Or did she think I was too righteous and would definitely eliminate evil and help her destroy the Wang Family?

However, he also noticed a phrase: ’changed her appearance’!

He knew things weren’t simple; how could a dignified Daughter of Luck have an appearance only slightly more outstanding than ordinary people?

Seeing Xiao Fan’s silence, Xia Huaxuan couldn’t help but grow anxious. What should she do? He wouldn’t think I’m a scheming woman trying to get close to him, would he?

Although there was indeed a tiny bit of that, she swore to heaven that it was absolutely not exploitation, but rather an expression of loyalty, letting him see her value.

In layman’s terms, clinging to a powerful figure!

As long as she could get a response from the Saint, destroying the Wang Family would be effortless.

Xia Huaxuan didn’t know what to say, fearing that she might say something wrong and displease him, so she remained silent.

It was well-known that Xiao Fan never let go of any Daughter of Luck, so he said:

“You are from Fallen Leaves Valley and wish to grow strong enough to destroy the Wang Family.”

“Am I right?”

Xia Huaxuan’s expression changed, but she quickly recovered. For a large noble family, investigating her background might be difficult, but ultimately, it was still possible.

She boldly admitted, saying:

“Yes, Saint, I wish to follow you and am willing to go through fire and water for you.”

“You are quite interesting.” Xiao Fan said with amusement.

This person was somewhat intelligent. She didn’t express her own needs but instead considered his, indicating that she understood how to weigh benefits and could consider problems from another’s perspective.

“Will you stay by my side and leverage my influence to destroy the Wang Family?” Xiao Fan smiled.

Xia Huaxuan trembled upon hearing this. She immediately knelt down and explained, “I didn’t mean that. I just want to stay by your side to learn and cultivate the Dao, and to help the Saint solve problems.”

Goodness, she’s quite shrewd with her calculations.

Staying by my side, leeching off my Cultivation resources, and secretly developing, is that it?

After a long silence, Xiao Fan said, “Let me see your true face.”

Xia Huaxuan did not hesitate. To show sincerity, she couldn’t hide anything from him.

She immediately placed her jade hand over her delicate cheek and gently peeled.

A thin, cicada-wing-like painted skin was torn from her face.

What was revealed was a timid, shy, youthful girl’s face, with fair skin, like a delicate ceramic doll.

A pair of nimble eyes, complemented by her graceful eyebrows, appeared pure and sweet, yet hidden within them was a hint of sorrow—the deep-seated hatred for her unavenged vendetta surfacing in her gaze.

Her face was small, like a budding flower, not dazzling, but it made one anticipate the blooming of this flower bud.

Typically petite and slender, yet her bosom was high. Today, Xia Huaxuan wore a pure white long dress, with a green jade hairpin in her hair, combining tenderness with a touch of innocence, giving off a feeling of a ’white moonlight’ first love.

In her bright, sparkling eyes, she awaited Xiao Fan’s response.

Holy cow! I knew none of the Daughters of Luck were simple.

“Not bad, you are very honest.” Xiao Fan said in a superior, emotionless tone.

Xia Huaxuan was overjoyed, thinking Xiao Fan had agreed to her following him.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan said:

“You following me is merely to use my power to grow, to grow enough to destroy the Wang Family. Am I wrong?”

Xia Huaxuan shook her head and said, “No, this subordinate sincerely wishes to follow the Saint.”

She admitted that she had some schemes at first, but she had no choice. Without support, power, or influence, to survive in this Immortal Realm, one had to be cunning.

This was due to the environment; those without schemes and cunning could not survive.

Xiao Fan did not ask for the reason. He continued:

“What you want is power, right?”

“Yes!” Xia Huaxuan nodded.

“That’s simple. I can grant you power, but there’s a price. It just depends on whether you accept it.” Xiao Fan said softly.

If she wasn’t afraid of death, would she be afraid of a price?

With almost no hesitation, Xia Huaxuan replied, “It’s all up to the Saint.”

Xiao Fan: “Hmm, no regrets?”

“No regrets!”

Xiao Fan nodded, having confirmed it repeatedly.

...

Due to irresistible forces, Xia Huaxuan was weakened and deleted.

Time and fate.

Xiao Yang could only arrange a brand new life for her.

Complete revenge, restore the Xia Family, and wait for Xiao Fan forever.
