I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

An everyday lie: You are the most unforgettable woman in my life!It was only when Xiao Fan returned to the Eternal Immortal Domain from Chaos that he realized two and a half years had passed.

What a peculiar number.

This made him sigh at the passage of time, slipping through his fingers.

”Husband, you’re back.”

The place where Xiao Fan returned to the Eternal Immortal Domain was naturally Shen Biru’s bedchamber.

As soon as he returned, he heard a surprised, bell-like chime in his ear.

The voice was filled with affection, and Xiao Fan turned his head to look.

That person had already thrown herself into his embrace, her soft hands tightly clutching his strong waist, her delicate, jade-like face buried in his broad, warm chest.

The beauty breathed softly, a fragrant breeze exhaling from her cherry lips, warm and delicate.

”Are you that excited?” Xiao Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.

”Hmph, you left for several years; I thought you had used me and then discarded me,” Shen Biru said resentfully, her voice tinged with grievance.

Xiao Fan felt that something was off with this woman.

Could she be a love-struck fool?

”You’re overthinking it,” Xiao Fan lightly tapped her head.

”I don’t have many virtues, but I always believe in spreading my affection equally; once you become my woman, you’ll be my woman for life.”

”Perhaps sometimes I’m quite busy, dealing with other matters, but you must believe that you are still in my heart.”

Xiao Fan spoke softly, carefully cultivating his emotions to deliver these words in a gentle tone, right into Shen Biru’s ear.

At the end, he even lightly bit Shen Biru’s warm, rosy, and shimmering, pearl-like earlobe.

Shen Biru’s heart was overflowing with affection; hearing her lover whisper sweet nothings in her ear, coupled with such a shy gesture, her delicate body instantly stiffened.

Her flawless, white jade-like face instantly flushed crimson, a blush spreading across her cheeks!

She shyly wanted to pull away, but her body was very honest.

In the end, she only said with tender affection, ”A great man has ambitions everywhere; I don’t want to tie you down, as long as you have me in your heart.”

”Of course, you are definitely in my heart; I can swear to the heavens,” Xiao Fan declared solemnly.

When he was in the mortal world, he had already made such vows countless times.

It was second nature to him, his words sincere, his attitude earnest.

That final phrase, ’swear to the heavens,’ even involved the heavens themselves.

Shen Biru only felt how skilled he was, how could he speak so beautifully?

It was pleasant to hear, she loved hearing it, speak more!

Xiao Fan was most skilled at handling women’s thoughts.

He wasn’t short on time, so he gently held her in his arms, whispering sweet nothings, making Shen Biru laugh continuously.

She felt that the man before her was very gentle, handsome, spoke beautifully, and understood her thoughts.

He was too perfect!

And the price Xiao Fan paid to capture this woman’s heart was only some time.

And some simple sweet nothings.

Shen Biru was currently wearing a Phoenix Robe, deep red embroidered with strands of gold thread, majestic yet beautiful; a golden Phoenix hairpin and jade hair ornament adorned her coiled hair, making her appear dignified and solemn.

She was clearly a peerless Empress, ruling the world.

But under Xiao Fan’s onslaught of sweet nothings, she laughed so hard her body swayed, devoid of any majesty or coldness, only passion, charm, and the tenderness and lingering affection of a young woman.

She felt that this was her true self; the aloofness and dominance she showed to outsiders were merely her disguise in front of the world.

Shen Biru nestled in Xiao Fan’s arms, listening to his soft, whispered sweet nothings, her shy demeanor as a young woman fully revealed.

She felt that these two and a half years of waiting were worth it!

After a long while, Xiao Fan finally ran out of words.

He had exhausted everything he knew, finally filling Shen Biru’s heart with sweet nothings.

Feeling his affection, Shen Biru eagerly began to share her recent situation and the things she had accomplished in these three years with Xiao Fan.

”Husband, your hundred Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm subordinates are simply human killing machines.”

”They appear sacred and solemn, pure and radiant, but when they kill, they are ruthless and decisive.”

”Those former subordinates of Liu Chen were like mere chickens and dogs before your subordinates, Husband.”

”Some people escaped, but it only took less than three days for the Primordial Angel to find them, and even Liu Chen’s secret base was uncovered, successfully eradicating them completely.”

A centipede dies but never falls down.

Liu Chen still had hidden strength; Xiao Fan hadn’t expected that.

In response, Xiao Fan smiled, ”It’s not that my subordinates are powerful, but that you, Bi Ru, are skilled at utilizing people; it’s all your credit.”

Listening to Xiao Fan praise her like this, Shen Biru’s eyes shimmered with affection, her heart filled with sweetness.

”Oh, right, Husband.”

”During the days you were away, I was bored, so I led these subordinates to expand our territory.”

”I have already conquered several Immortal Dynasties, expanding the territory of the Great Jing Immortal Dynasty by more than tenfold.

I built a grand palace for you on the great lake east of the Immortal Dynasty; if you ever think of your concubine, you can come find me there anytime.”

”I’ve already set up a teleportation array there, leading directly to the Imperial Palace; as long as you wish, I can be there at your beck and call,” Shen Biru said shyly.

Hiss~

Xiao Fan could only say, ’Well done!’ to this operation.

”I’ll do as you say,” Xiao Fan nodded.

Shen Biru recounted the events of the past three years to him one by one, fearing that any detail might not be thorough enough.

The more Xiao Fan listened, the more surprised he became: expanding territory, bestowing favors upon the world.

The powerful aristocratic families and clans made her feel constrained, so she devised ways to purge them and weaken their influence.

She appointed Loose Cultivators and established cultivation academies to strengthen the Loose Cultivator community, allowing them to contend with the aristocratic families.

In addition, to counter the endless stream of Geniuses from the aristocratic families, the cultivation academies also sent their disciples to various small places to recruit students.

As long as one’s talent was high enough, they could enter the cultivation academy to cultivate.

There were many more such matters, yet she spoke of them with effortless ease, everything clear in her mind.

Tsk tsk tsk, this woman even knows the art of balance; she’s a career-oriented Child of Destiny.

Shen Biru spoke eloquently, while Xiao Fan nodded in agreement from time to time, and at the end, he praised her for being truly amazing.

After this series of actions, Shen Biru was overjoyed and became even more devoted to Xiao Fan.

Praise works better than anything!

After finishing her own story, Shen Biru asked curiously, ”Where have you been all these days, Husband?”

Xiao Fan said, ”Hmm, I went to a rather distant place; there was an Opportunity waiting for me to claim.”

”Opportunity?”

Shen Biru was surprised upon hearing this, then she said, ”Any Opportunity comes with danger; in the future, don’t go anymore, or if you must go, either send someone in or bring more people.”

”Going alone is not safe.”

Xiao Fan smiled, ”Noted, next time I will make sure to be fully prepared before going.”

”However, the situation was urgent this time, and I didn’t have time to prepare, so I chose to go alone.”

Shen Biru nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes earnestly watching him, wanting to hear what dangers he had encountered.

But at this point, Xiao Fan paused.

Then he chuckled, ”Let’s not talk about the past; nothing bad happened anyway.”

This sudden change of topic inevitably made people overthink, and Shen Biru was just like that.

Why did he tell half and leave half? Is he hiding something from me?

”Husband, why don’t you continue?” Shen Biru’s beautiful eyes, filled with earnestness, stared intently into his.

”There’s really nothing to say; look, aren’t I appearing safely before you now?” Xiao Fan chuckled, looking relaxed.

But the more he acted this way, the more Shen Biru felt that things were not simple.

Under her persistent questioning.

Xiao Fan hesitated, as if he had encountered something difficult to speak of, then sighed twice, and finally chose to speak:

”You know, I don’t like to tell my women how difficult my life has been.”

But the more he acted this way, the more uneasy Shen Biru became.

In her imagination, Xiao Fan must have encountered a life-or-death predicament!

Seeing the worry on Shen Biru’s face, Xiao Fan felt the emotion was in place, so he fabricated a story out of thin air.

Discovering a peerless Opportunity, wanting to go back and find someone, but it was too late, entering alone, fraught with peril, a narrow escape from death, on the verge of dying, fortunately obtaining the Opportunity, surviving a great disaster, and thus making it back alive...

Xiao Fan concocted a story template for himself, fitting for a Child of Destiny, and applied it.

Having countless experiences with women, Xiao Fan knew best how to manipulate their emotions.

So even when narrating such tense and dangerous passages, he maintained a relaxed demeanor.

As if those things hadn’t happened to him.

This relaxed tone, precisely, pierced Shen Biru’s heart, making her anxious, the worry on her beautiful face lingering, never fading.

Is that all?

No!

Conquering a woman’s heart still required one last step!

He teased, ”Why the long face? It’s not pretty at all.”

Shen Biru felt a lingering fear in her heart; she couldn’t even imagine what kind of danger Xiao Fan had faced; the more casually he spoke, the more dangerous it must have been.

”You’re not allowed to take risks anymore in the future; what would I do if something happened to you?” Shen Biru choked out.

Xiao Fan timely pulled her into his embrace and softly said, ”Wasn’t I thinking of bringing you some gifts?”

”Look, what is this?”

With that, he took out a Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit.

It was pure white, blossoming with golden light, enveloped in purple Qi, with profound Dao charm permeating its surroundings, and a heaven-reaching cultivation entwined within it, appearing mysterious and powerful.

Shen Biru looked at the mysterious fruit before her, her heart filled with immense surprise.

Because the feeling this fruit gave her was powerful and profound, just like a Taiyi Golden Immortal standing before her.

Shen Biru exclaimed, ”Husband, what kind of fruit is this?”

”I feel it should be an incredibly profound immortal fruit, so I brought it back for you,” Xiao Fan replied.

”It is indeed incredibly profound,” Shen Biru said.

”Here, for you.”

Xiao Fan took her jade hand and placed the item into it, without the slightest hesitation, as if what he had just given away was a wild fruit picked from a tree.

”This...”

Shen Biru was overwhelmed by the favor; she believed she had built a relationship with Xiao Fan, but it was far from the point where Xiao Fan would casually bestow such a supreme treasure.

”This is too valuable; I cannot accept it.”

Xiao Fan, however, refused!

”This was originally prepared for you; if you don’t accept it, I’ll throw it away.”

After several attempts to decline, Shen Biru couldn’t refuse.

She could only accept it with tears in her eyes and a smile, her gaze towards Xiao Fan growing even more fervent.

He truly treats me as his woman!

Watching Shen Biru, overcome with emotion, her eyes like silken threads, seductive and alluring, Xiao Fan chuckled inwardly, thinking that women must be deceived with half-truths.

Too sincere, and she thinks you’re a simp.

Too fake, and she feels no emotion.

Truth mixed with falsehood, falsehood mixed with truth, that is the grand strategy for conquering hearts!

He could have given it to her openly, but he didn’t!

He first fabricated a story, detailing how hard he had worked, how he was willing to risk his life for her, and how he would give her everything he obtained.

To sacrifice everything for you!

This instantly moved her to tears.

Having deceived women too many times, Xiao Fan’s first reaction upon encountering a woman now was to deceive.

It was all technique, no emotion, yet it could make women develop feelings for him.

Since ancient times, true feelings have not endured; only schemes win hearts. Playing with women’s hearts is a technical skill!

Xiao Fan was merely an explorer on this path; the road ahead was long, and he still needed to learn.

”Husband, this is a fruit you risked your life to obtain; you should eat it instead,” Shen Biru refused, putting herself in his shoes and offering it back to Xiao Fan.

”What I said is for you, is for you; don’t say it again.”

”I will be your Protector; you refine it,” Xiao Fan said.

”Mmm,” Seeing she couldn’t win against Xiao Fan, Shen Biru sweetly replied, agreeing.

She thought to herself: I must be Husband’s most gentle and considerate woman.

Xiao Fan took out the Sacred Artifact Treasure Shuttle, quickly moving Shen Biru outside the Eternal Immortal Domain to prevent her promotion to Taiyi Golden Immortal from causing too much commotion.

Shen Biru consumed the Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit.

She did not have the privilege of tribulation immunity, so upon consumption, her cultivation aura immediately surged, and the tribulation clouds in the sky began to gather.

Shen Biru was still a long way from the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, and the sudden Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm Lightning Tribulation almost scared her to death.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan was her Protector from afar, reminding her to focus on Undergoing Tribulation and clear her mind.

Under Xiao Fan’s guidance, Shen Biru successfully passed the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm Lightning Tribulation, achieving the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

This process was quite long, and the resulting fluctuations attracted many onlookers, but they were all intimidated by Xiao Fan’s aura and chose to retreat, not daring to approach.

Until the moment she successfully advanced, Shen Biru’s mind was still in a daze.

”This...”

Her cherry lips slightly parted, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment, and her jade hands covered her face, feeling that the matter was too dreamlike, somewhat unreal.

But when she saw the man standing quietly on the Treasure Shuttle in the distance, waiting for her, everything felt so real.

She rushed into Xiao Fan’s embrace, unable to wait, full of joy, sharing her happiness with him.

”Husband, look, I’m at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!”

Her face was like jade, her smile captivating; Shen Biru’s knowing smile made Xiao Fan feel that she was breathtakingly beautiful.

”Hmm, I see it.”

”It seems this fruit is indeed a great Opportunity,” Xiao Fan replied.

At this point, Shen Biru felt a little regretful again.

”If I had known, I would have left it for you to refine, Husband.”

”We are family; there’s no need for such formalities,” Xiao Fan said righteously, without any regret.

This made Shen Biru even more moved, that he would give her such an important treasure.

Then, was she the most important woman to her Husband?

”Husband, where do I rank in your heart?” Her beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked at Xiao Fan expectantly.

”Why are you suddenly asking this?” Xiao Fan said, somewhat puzzled.

”I just want to know,” Shen Biru said coyly, and then charmingly gave Xiao Fan a light kiss on his cheek.

”Ahem, let’s just say, you are the most unforgettable woman in my life.”

”If I had to use words of praise, I would only feel my vocabulary is lacking; any praise used on you would seem pale and powerless.”

”It simply cannot describe even a tiny fraction of your peerless beauty.”

Although he didn’t state her rank, Shen Biru, upon hearing these words, smiled radiantly.

Only Xiao Fan felt guilty in his heart.

Alas, he had deceived another woman.

The affection in Shen Biru’s beautiful eyes overflowed like spring water, and she lowered her head, whispering into Xiao Fan’s ear.

As she spoke, her face turned red.

”Bi Ru, am I not forcing you?” Xiao Fan said with reluctance.

”You rascal, don’t speak so loudly!”

Shen Biru playfully chided, but her voice was sweet and sugary, more like she was pouting.

Xiao Fan laughed heartily, letting her have her way.

Shen Biru led Xiao Fan back to the palace specially built for him.

Here, she would let him experience what it meant to enjoy the pleasures of an Emperor.
