I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Lanzhi’s tenderness, Lingyan returns homeAfter handling the complicated affairs, Xiao Fan, who didn’t need to Cultivate, could spare time to accompany Jiang Lan Zhi.

He couldn’t say why, perhaps because Jiang Lan Zhi was engaged to him, his fiancée, or it might be the influence of [One Heart, One Body].

In short, whenever Xiao Fan and Jiang Lan Zhi were together, there was always a feeling of heart-pounding excitement.

This wasn’t a fleeting novelty; Xiao Fan’s heart was always stirred by Jiang Lan Zhi’s every expression and smile.

With his beloved by his side, under the flowers and moonlight, Xiao Fan accompanied Jiang Lan Zhi as they sat quietly in a flower field within Yaochi Immortal Palace.

It felt as if they had returned to the days in Hundred Flowers Holy Land.

Jiang Lanzhi held Xiao Fan’s hand, her cute little head resting on his shoulder.

A gentle breeze blew, the evening wind carrying the fragrance of flowers, lightly stirring the strands of Jiang Lan Zhi’s hair that naturally fell by her temples, creating a serene atmosphere filled with beauty and gentleness.

”Husband, aren’t you going to explain?” Jiang Lan Zhi said with a smile.

”Explain what?” The sudden question made Xiao Fan feel a bit bewildered.

”That woman from the Celestial Devil race, why did you stay with her inside for seven days?” Jiang Lan Zhi asked softly.

”Why does she have your scent?”

Jiang Lanzhi looked directly at Xiao Fan, asking very earnestly.

She said seven days, but in reality, she had also experienced the acceleration of the Chronospace Codex; she just hadn’t mentioned the seven years.

”So that’s what you want to know?” Xiao Fan suddenly understood.

Jiang Lan Zhi: ”I’m just a little curious.”

Xiao Fan didn’t hide anything and directly told Jiang Lan Zhi the truth; he no longer needed to resort to deception.

”It’s pretty much what you thought; she also became my woman.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lanzhi rolled her eyes at him, yet she was helpless; who could blame her for loving this guy?

”Are you angry?” Xiao Fan asked.

”No, don’t I understand you? Even if I say something, you won’t change,” Jiang Lanzhi said, compromising with Xiao Fan.

”But remember this, I am your fiancée! I don’t care how many women you have outside, but at most, they can only be your concubines or mistresses!” Jiang Lanzhi said, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Fan’s with utmost seriousness.

”Really, as many as I want?”

Jiang Lanzhi glared at him and turned her head away, not wanting to look at him anymore.

However, the jade hand clutching Xiao Fan’s arm betrayed her, holding on even tighter, as if afraid he would escape.

Xiao Fan smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. With a warm, soft beauty in his arms, and crucially, one who could accept his actions.

What more could a husband ask for with such a wife?

”I don’t interfere with you, I’m just afraid you’ll dislike me. Those women outside, they’ll only endlessly flatter you and whisper in your ear.

What if they charm you away and speak ill of me in various ways? Will you neglect me?”

Jiang Lanzhi forced a smile, but her beautiful eyes held anticipation, and her tone lacked confidence, as if she was afraid to hear certain answers.

She was even more anxious than Zhao Linger!

Xiao Fan felt a pang of pity for this foolish woman. Jiang Lan Zhi, deeply in love, compromised and yielded to him in every way, tolerating his actions.

And all of this was just out of fear that he would neglect her.

Xiao Fan’s heart trembled fiercely. Never before had he wanted to give a woman a sense of security as much as he did at this moment.

”No, you are always the only one. No one can replace your position.”

He spoke these words earnestly, without any overly emotional language.

Jiang Lan Zhi’s suspended heart relaxed, and then a smile blossomed on her face, her eyes glistening with tears of emotion as she nodded and said:

”Mm.”

She nestled into Xiao Fan’s embrace, her fair, tender arms tightly hugging his powerful waist, enjoying the gentleness Xiao Fan brought her, trusting him without any reservations.

Xiao Fan gently patted Jiang Lan Zhi’s back, letting her quietly enjoy the tranquility of the moment. He himself greatly enjoyed his time alone with Jiang Lan Zhi; it was very comforting.

After a long while, Xiao Fan said to Jiang Lan Zhi: ”Jiang Lan Zhi, I need your help with something.”

Jiang Lan Zhi smiled and said: ”Tell me, you know I will never refuse you.”

Xiao Fan: ”Mm, I need to Breakthrough my Realm, and I might need your help to Cultivate.”

Jiang Lan Zhi froze upon hearing this, her pretty face flushing crimson.

She shyly lowered her head and said, ”You, why did you suddenly say something like that?”

Xiao Fan looked at her actions and expression, realizing she seemed to have misunderstood his meaning.

He took Jiang Lan Zhi’s hand, and Jiang Lan Zhi tilted her head slightly to look at him, saying in confusion, ”What’s wrong?”

”Uh, this Cultivation isn’t what you’re thinking,” Xiao Fan said with a laugh.

Xiao Fan took out the Mixed Origin Great Luo Fruit, the last one he had deliberately saved, specifically for Jiang Lan Zhi.

Jiang Lan Zhi’s expression stiffened. Ah, this?

Will he think I’m not modest enough, that I’m a person of impure nature?

Under [One Heart, One Body], Xiao Fan could understand what she was thinking. He pinched Jiang Lan Zhi’s pretty face and said, ”My Jiang Lan Zhi is the most gentle, virtuous, beautiful, dignified, and understanding woman in the world. Don’t think too much, okay?”

Even though he said that, Jiang Lan Zhi still felt embarrassed, too awkward.

Xiao Fan explained: ”This time, our Cultivation is serious, absolutely serious.”

He then explained how, under [One Heart, One Body], as Jiang Lan Zhi’s cultivation improved, his own cultivation would also increase.

”If you eat this Mixed Origin Great Luo Fruit, you can become a Primordial Great Luo, and the cultivation feedback under [One Heart, One Body] will benefit me, allowing me to advance beyond Primordial Great Luo and become a Saint!”

Jiang Lanzhi was somewhat shocked. Can it be played like this?

”Husband, is there such a method to become a Saint?”

”Yes, but it only applies to you and me.”

”There are no side effects for you, right?” Jiang Lanzhi asked worriedly, feeling it was a bit unrealistic. She was afraid Xiao Fan would suffer adverse consequences.

”No,” he said with certainty.

”That’s good. As long as you can become stronger, I’ll do anything,” Jiang Lanzhi said with a sweet smile, lightly pecking his cheek.

...

...

On the other side, Ling Yan returned to the Demon Race territory in the Outer Space Stars.

And in the imperial palace, the Demonic Blood Emperor was already eagerly awaiting her.

”Ling Yan, why did you take so long to return? How did the negotiations with Yaochi Immortal Palace go? Did they agree?”

Ling Yan smiled and said, ”Brother, from now on, we no longer have to stay in these barren Outer Space Stars.”

The Demonic Blood Emperor’s eyes glowed with ecstasy upon hearing the answer he desired.

He said excitedly, ”Really?”

Ling Yan said, ”Mm, not only that, but I also secured more benefits.”

”Those ownerless lands where all the natives died after being slaughtered by Cultivators from other Realms—as long as we seize them, they will all be ours.”

”There are no restrictions; as long as we can seize them, they are ours.”

The Demonic Blood Emperor was shocked. This!

He thought back to how he had once attacked the Eternal Immortal Domain and clashed with the Palace Master of Yaochi.

Although he was unilaterally crushed, it was still a past grievance.

He had expected to be severely extorted, but he never imagined things would be so simple.

There were even unexpected gains!

A surprise, absolutely a surprise!

The Demonic Blood Emperor said in surprise, ”Ling Yan, how did you persuade the Palace Master of Yaochi?”

Ling Yan’s expression was slightly unnatural. It wasn’t about persuading the Palace Master of Yaochi, but rather joining forces with Nana to ’sleep-persuade’ the Palace Master of Yaochi’s man.

”Brother, is that important?”

”Let’s hurry up and prepare.”

The Demonic Blood Emperor also understood what was important; the process no longer mattered, as long as the matter was handled well.

He immediately issued orders, following the instructions Ling Yan had given.

Ling Yan explained the situation to him, especially regarding the division of treasures, making everything clear, as it concerned her own interests.

The Demonic Blood Emperor was overjoyed. What, he could even get 20% of the income for himself? A huge profit!

Thinking of this, the Demonic Blood Emperor became even more zealous.

”Move aside, I’m going to act personally. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease with these benefits.”
