I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Nangong Ximeng’s worry; Chen Miaoli’s surpriseThe training camp was imminent, and everyone was busy preparing.

But NanGong XiMeng’s heart had drifted far away.

An inexplicable worry arose in her heart.

Last time, she had a very pleasant conversation with Xiao Fan, talking about everything under the sun.

So much so that she forgot to explain the situation of the Battleground Forbidden Land to Xiao Fan in detail.

”What if he doesn’t know the situation and encounters danger in the Forbidden Ground?” she worried.

Soon, she comforted herself, saying, ”No, the person destined for me, how could he be an ordinary Mortal? He must possess extraordinary abilities and profound blessings.”

But the worry on her face did not diminish; clearly, she couldn’t convince herself.

”No, it’s better to be safe than sorry. What if he really encounters danger?”

”The Saint Hall specifically arranged a White Tiger Star Lord within it. Although there are restrictions, only allowing him to exert the strength of a Grand Luo, this White Tiger is essentially a Primordial Realm existence.”

”Spring Flower, Qiuyue,” NanGong XiMeng called out.

The two young girls outside the door immediately walked in and respectfully said, ”Young Miss, what are your orders?”

”Let’s go, follow me to the Eternal Saint Academy’s residence.”

The two girls followed NanGong XiMeng in a daze to where the Eternal Saint Academy was located.

What’s wrong with Young Miss?

At this moment, in the Eternal Saint Academy, Xiao Fan was enjoying tea and petting a cat.

Miao Xiaoqing transformed into a docile cat, quietly serving as a hand pillow, allowing Xiao Fan to knead her.

She was a little confused, wondering if she hadn’t dressed alluringly enough, to the point that she couldn’t pique her Master’s interest.

Master didn’t punish her like this before.

Master used to whip her fiercely, unlike now.

The soft touch of her fur, her obedient and fawning eyes, and her ability to understand human speech—this kind of cat-petting enjoyment was not something everyone could have.

Dragon Ningbing was boiling water and brewing tea for him nearby. Feeling the tea was a bit hot, she held it before her red lips, gently blowing away the steam, and then handed it to Xiao Fan.

”Young Master,” Ning Bing said.

”Hmm, thank you, no need for more,” Xiao Fan said as he took it.

Dragon Ningbing stopped obediently upon hearing this.

The cat, however, spoke, ”Master, you must have a big plan this time, right?”

”Is there anything this slave can help with? This slave is very strong. Every single person here is no match for this slave.”

Miao Xiaoqing meowed, full of confidence.

”That powerful?” Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

”It’s all Master’s grace. I am already a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Among my peers, who is my opponent?”

”Hehe, Master excluded.”

With that, she fawningly licked Xiao Fan’s palm, her beautiful eyes filled with submission.

Xiao Fan felt that she was getting carried away; she hadn’t seen the Prodigies outside.

He drew a circle and threw her into it.

As soon as she entered the circle, Miao Xiaoqing’s eyes showed terror, and her delicate face was filled with shock.

In less than three breaths, her body trembled and she fainted, even rolling her eyes.

”Quite weak,” Xiao Fan pulled her out and waved his hand to revive her.

Miao Xiaoqing gasped for air, still shaken, and said, ”Master, I just saw my great-grandmother.”

”If I told you that someone, also a Taiyi Golden Immortal, persisted in this circle for half a day and remained as usual, would you believe it?”

Miao Xiaoqing asked in surprise, ”Ah, is there really such a person?!”

”There is always someone better, and there is always a higher Heavenly Dao. In the Eternal Saint Academy, you are considered the top among your peers, but here, you can barely be considered average.”

Miao Xiaoqing was a bit disheartened. She felt she was already very strong. Most people her age were still at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Even in the Saint Academy, the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm was considered a pillar of strength.

She didn’t expect that in the Saint Hall, she would only be considered average.

The world is truly vast.

”Master, can I still become stronger?” Miao Xiaoqing asked nervously and expectantly.

”Of course, but this path may be full of thorns. The pain you just experienced will likely reappear on you thousands of times.”

”Having pain is still good, because if you’re unlucky, you’ll die and your Dao will vanish.”

Miao Xiaoqing’s eyes dimmed a little. Pain was already hard enough to bear, and death was even more terrifying.

”Nothing in the world is difficult for one who puts their mind to it, but it’s okay to give up,” Xiao Fan said with a smile.

”Why become so strong? My woman doesn’t need to conquer the world outside; just manage your own small plot of land.”

With that, Xiao Fan said no more, only tenderly stroking her cat ears.

Miao Xiaoqing seemed to understand.

Oh right, there are countless Prodigies in the world, but only a few can stand at the peak.

No matter how much hardship I endure, it’s impossible for me to cross several major Realms and directly reach Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But fawning over Master can achieve that!

She once again clarified her goal: I must be the best fawning cat.

To become the Supreme: Fawning Dao Supreme!

Just then, a message came from outside the door:

”Saint Disciple, there’s a distinguished guest. She says she’s from the Tiandao Sect.”

Miao Xiaoqing glanced at Xiao Fan and saw him nod.

So she said, ”Invite her in.”

”As you wish.”

”You should change back to human form,” Xiao Fan said.

”Okay.”

Instantly, Miao Xiaoqing transformed into a youthful and beautiful young girl, maintaining a noble and elegant posture, though the smile on her face was somewhat charming.

The people of the Eternal Saint Academy brought NanGong XiMeng in. When she saw Xiao Fan with two peerless women in the same room, a sense of unease arose in her heart.

They won’t be my opponents, will they?

Xiao Fan was somewhat surprised when he saw NanGong XiMeng.

He hadn’t gone to find her, so why was she here?

NanGong XiMeng spoke, ”Young Master Xiao, I hope my sudden visit isn’t causing you trouble.”

”Not at all, please sit.”

He casually sent out a Dao-infused cushion, placing it before NanGong XiMeng.

NanGong XiMeng didn’t stand on ceremony, gracefully sitting down naturally.

Her jade hand gently brushed her face, and the purple veil covering her jade countenance was removed.

Miao Xiaoqing looked at her face, slightly stunned.

Sacred and elegant, enchanting but not Mei (charming in a seductive way)—this woman is too terrifying!

No wonder Master isn’t interested in me; it turns out such an opponent has appeared.

”Fairy NanGong, may I ask why you have come this time?” Xiao Fan said.

NanGong XiMeng glanced at Miao Xiaoqing, then at Dragon Ningbing, and said, ”I apologize for the disturbance.”

”Actually, it’s nothing major. It’s just that last time I didn’t explain the situation of the Battleground Forbidden Land in detail to you.”

”The Battleground Forbidden Land is extremely dangerous, and there’s also the White Tiger Star Lord specially arranged by the Saint Hall within it. I was afraid that Young Master might not be clear about the situation, so I specifically came to inform you.”

”It’s just that my appearance seems a bit ill-timed,” NanGong XiMeng said with a smile.

”All the information about the Battleground Forbidden Land is written on this Jade Slip. Young Master will understand after reading it.”

”I’ve disturbed you enough, so I’ll take my leave now.”

NanGong XiMeng thought she had disturbed Xiao Fan and said apologetically, preparing to leave after handing over the Jade Slip.

How could Xiao Fan let her leave? Since she had come all this way, he had to properly foster their relationship to lay the groundwork for their future.

”Fairy NanGong, although the information on this Jade Slip is very detailed, I’m afraid there might be parts I don’t understand. I would like to ask Fairy to explain it in detail.”

”Fairy took time out of her busy schedule to bring me this Jade Slip and explain the situation. How can I not fulfill my duty as a host?”

”I had a feeling, and was just about to go find you to discuss the Dao.”

NanGong XiMeng smiled slightly and said, ”I thought I was disturbing Young Master Xiao, which is why I was about to leave.”

”No disturbance at all; I couldn’t ask for more,” Xiao Fan said.

NanGong XiMeng explained the situation of the Battleground Forbidden Land to Xiao Fan in every detail, even secretly slipping him a map, fearing he might forget.

It was a general map of the Battleground Forbidden Land.

Xiao Fan was greatly surprised.

The exam hasn’t even started, and the questions have already been leaked?

”Isn’t this inappropriate?” Xiao Fan said.

”This training camp is mainly for people other than the Saint Hall Disciples and Tiandao Sect Disciples. Our two factions’ people go in mainly to participate and understand the strength of other Prodigies among our peers.”

”After all, the highest reward inside is just getting a token to listen to a Saint preach the Dao,” NanGong XiMeng said calmly.

Others couldn’t see Saints, but people from their two factions could see them at will.

As they chatted, NanGong XiMeng inadvertently asked who Miao Xiaoqing was.

Miao Xiaoqing said, ”Hello, I am Master’s cat, and then a Saint Disciple of the Eternal Saint Academy.”

NanGong XiMeng was slightly surprised. A Saint Disciple calling Xiao Fan ”Master”?

This...

Before she could recover, there was a commotion outside the door.

”Why are you here?” It was a woman speaking, her voice showing some surprise.

It was somewhat unexpected.

But others didn’t think that way; you’re here specifically to cause trouble, aren’t you?

”You, surnamed Chen, my Young Miss isn’t provoking you, so don’t push your luck!” a young girl shouted.

”My Young Miss is entertaining a guest. Please wait until she comes out to discuss anything, and please leave this place.”

The shouts from outside the door were precisely from NanGong XiMeng’s two maidservants.

NanGong XiMeng also sensed something was wrong. She extended her Divine Sense and couldn’t help but frown.

Chen Miaoli, what is she doing here?

”Young Master Xiao, I have some matters to attend to first.”

”No matter, let’s go together,” Xiao Fan said softly, holding her hand.

NanGong XiMeng’s pretty face flushed. This, this wouldn’t be too sudden, would it?

Although it was destined, our relationship doesn’t seem to have reached that point, does it? How can we hold hands?

Before NanGong XiMeng could react, Xiao Fan directly took her hand and walked out the door.

NanGong XiMeng was stunned, feeling dizzy in her head. She didn’t know if she had forgotten to resist, and was just led away by Xiao Fan in a daze.

The door opened, and Xiao Fan, holding NanGong XiMeng’s delicate jade hand, walked towards the main hall.

Spring Flower and Qiuyue were shocked. Young Miss, how did you and Young Master Xiao get together so quickly?

Not to mention these two, even the woman outside the door was bewildered by the scene.

Master, how did you get together with her!

Xiao Fan looked at the astonished Chen Miaoli and said calmly, ”Who are you, and why are you making a commotion in the territory of my Eternal Saint Academy?”

His tone and attitude were completely like that of a stranger.

Chen Miaoli felt her brain wasn’t working, but she quickly understood what was going on.

Because she saw NanGong XiMeng’s face blushing with shyness, completely different from her usual cold demeanor, and her fair, small jade hand was tightly held by Xiao Fan.

Chen Miaoli immediately understood that Master had taken a liking to NanGong XiMeng.

Well! Now their relationship had directly changed from rivals to sisters!
