Villain: I Can See Destiny

79: Chapter 79 The Fearful GirlWhite Hibiscus Holy Land.

Inside the pavilion, Shadow One, wearing black and masked, bowed and presented a recording crystal with both hands.

Young Master Xiao Zimo, sitting on a stone bench, sipped his tea leisurely as the recording crystal hovered automatically in front of him.

He glanced at Shadow One and said indifferently, ”So fast?”

”Young Master, you may not know this, but that brat’s Family is located near the Small World of the Heavenly Dao Academy.”

”Oh? Is it that coincidental?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

”Young Master, that brat did not choose the woman. I thought you might find her useful, so I took the liberty of bringing her back.”

Shadow One said nervously, unsure if his unauthorized speculation of the Young Master’s intentions would incur his displeasure.

”Shadow One, you did well in this matter; I shall record a second-class merit for you!”

Upon hearing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo was overjoyed, as he had indeed forgotten to give instructions regarding this matter that day.

Afterward, he had been lamenting that a good chess piece had been lost just like that.

Young Master Xiao Zimo had thought all his Shadow Guards were blockheads...

Unexpectedly, this Shadow One had suddenly become enlightened, giving him such a huge surprise.

”Next time I return to the Family, I will have the Old Ancestor help you become a Half-Emperor.”

Seeming to feel that a second-class merit was not enough, Young Master Xiao Zimo continued.

”Shadow One kowtows and thanks the Young Master for his great grace.”

Shadow One kowtowed three times to Young Master Xiao Zimo in great excitement.

This was the Half-Emperor Realm! In this era where Emperors do not appear, this was the highest Realm!

He had not expected that an impulsive action of his would bring about such a earth-shattering change for himself.

Shadow One had been very hesitant at the time; he was merely a death soldier of the Family, having been branded with the unique slave seal of the Xiao Clan.

The person who trained him told him that he only needed to obey the Young Master’s orders and that death soldiers did not need to have too many thoughts.

But since Shadow One could Cultivate to the Peak of the Great Saint Realm, how could his Aptitude be inferior to those top Prodigies of the Heavenly Dao Academy?

In the years following Young Master Xiao Zimo, Shadow One had no longer faced trials that left him breathless.

During his spare time, he liked watching the Prodigies in the Heavenly Dao Academy, and over time, it ignited his long-dead heart.

Shadow One was unwilling to remain an obscure death soldier; he wanted to gain Young Master Xiao Zimo’s attention, hence this action.

Seeing the ambition burning in Shadow One’s eyes, Young Master Xiao Zimo was not wary, but rather happy; he wanted a subordinate who could think independently, not a death soldier who only knew how to execute orders.

Young Master Xiao Zimo was not worried that Shadow One would betray him; with the Xiao Clan’s slave seal planted on him, Shadow One’s life and death were within his single thought.

Although the Xiao Clan’s slave seal was not as good as the Slave Creation Technique in his mind, it was still extremely terrifying.

He heard from the elders of the Family that even if an Immortal were branded with the Xiao Clan’s slave seal, they could not escape the fate of being controlled by the Xiao Clan.

Back when the Cangnan Realm had not yet been cut off from the Immortal Realm, the Xiao Clan had relied on it to enslave numerous Immortals.

It was precisely because Young Master Xiao Zimo saw Shadow One’s ambition that he promoted him like this.

Otherwise, Young Patriarch Zhao Zhengyuan was merely a Child of Destiny at the Peak of the King Realm; how could he be worthy of such a reward?

Of course, this was not for Young Master Xiao Zimo to win over hearts; the other party’s life and death were in his hands, so Young Master Xiao Zimo had no need to do so.

Ultimately, it was because Young Master Xiao Zimo lacked useful people after giving the war ring to Nangong Yi.

Of course, what Young Master Xiao Zimo lacked was not useful talent; if he needed useful talent, even without the Xiao Clan, given his current reputation, he only needed to raise an arm and shout, and countless Prodigies would surely be willing to become his followers.

What he lacked were people like the Shadow Guards—those with profound Cultivation who could do all sorts of dirty work, and whose lives and deaths were even in his grasp.

But even as powerful as the Xiao Clan was, they had only cultivated five death soldier squads; the Shadow Guards were one of the squads he used most comfortably, and the other was the Golden Guard within the war ring.

”Young Master, this is that brat’s woman, Lin Yuemei.”

Shadow One took the unconscious Lin Yuemei out from the Canghui Ring, which could contain life.

Young Master Xiao Zimo examined her carefully and exclaimed what a pity it was in his heart.

He hadn’t expected that the trash Young Patriarch Zhao Zhengyuan, even with a divine face, could possess such a woman.

One could only say, worthy of being a Child of Destiny.

Even Young Master Xiao Zimo had to admit that Lin Yuemei was indeed petite and cute, although she could not compare to the likes of Nangong Yi and Su Qingyan.

But she was much better than Luo Qing, so it was no wonder the Earth Academy Disciples had fought over her before.

Such beauty was barely enough to meet the standards of his harem.

It was a pity she was damaged goods that had probably been played with by who knows how many hands.

”Wake her up for me,” Young Master Xiao Zimo said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Shadow One took a small bottle of medicine from the Canghui Ring. He carefully pulled out the wooden stopper, quickly brought it under Lin Yuemei’s delicate nose, and then quickly covered it again.

This bottle of medicine was called Spirit Clearing Powder, made from ground Spirit Clearing Flowers. It was extremely rare, and he only had this one small bottle.

After a while, Lin Yuemei slowly woke up, rubbing her somewhat dazed eyes.

Seeing Young Master Xiao Zimo leisurely sipping tea in front of her, she immediately cried out, ”Young Master Xiao, save me!”

Lin Yuemei struggled to run toward Young Master Xiao Zimo, but it was evident that her limbs had not yet fully recovered their ability to move.

She had not taken more than a few steps before falling to the ground.

”Young Miss Lin, don’t be in such a hurry; there is plenty of time today.”

Shadow One’s eerie voice rang in Lin Yuemei’s ears.

”Don’t come over here! Young Master Xiao, save me!”

Hearing this voice, Lin Yuemei was so scared that the urge to urinate surged, and she almost lost control of her bladder.

She scrambled and crawled toward Young Master Xiao Zimo.

Inside the pavilion, Young Master Xiao Zimo looked at Shadow One with a strange expression, wondering what on earth this guy had done to scare the young girl like this...

Shadow One saw the Young Master’s strange expression and cried out in his heart that he was wronged; he really hadn’t done anything perverted, he had completely followed the Young Master’s requirements.

It was just that after Young Patriarch Zhao Zhengyuan chose the Emperor Weapon, he had slaughtered the entire Zhao Clan...

At this moment, Lin Yuemei was hugging Young Master Xiao Zimo’s calf tightly, just like a girl drowning who had grabbed the last straw.

Seeing Lin Yuemei in this state, Young Master Xiao Zimo comforted her, ”Young Miss Lin, don’t be afraid. With me here, no one can hurt you.”

”Young Master Xiao...”

Lin Yuemei looked at Young Master Xiao Zimo with affectionate eyes. Was this the First Young Master?

He was indeed peerlessly domineering and filled one with a sense of security.

”Shadow One, you go down first. Look at how scared you’ve made Young Miss Lin.”

”Yes.”

Shadow One replied with utmost respect and then transformed into a black shadow, merging into the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Yuemei used her hands to support herself on the ground, facing Young Master Xiao Zimo, and moved backward quickly until she hit the pavilion pillar behind her and stopped.

This collision seemed to knock out the last breath of courage in her heart.

Lin Yuemei slumped against the pavilion pillar, her pupils contracting violently, revealing extreme terror in her eyes.

The way she looked at Young Master Xiao Zimo was as if she were looking at a devil, and she couldn’t help but leak some liquid beneath her.

Young Master Xiao Zimo’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, ”Wherever I go, I am a dashing and elegant Young Master; is there any need to be this scared?”

He revealed a smile that he believed could charm thousands of young girls, ”Young Miss Lin, what is wrong with you?”

At this moment, Lin Yuemei only felt that Young Master Xiao Zimo was a man-eating devil, the kind that didn’t even spit out the bones.

Her voice trembled, ”Young... Young Master Xiao, I am dirty, I’m afraid of dirtying your clothes.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo glanced at the pool of liquid beneath her, suppressing his disgust, and said, ”It’s fine, it’s all my fault; it was I who frightened you, Miss Lin.”

As he spoke, he beckoned, signaling for Lin Yuemei to come over.

Lin Yuemei only felt that it was the Grim Reaper beckoning her; she frantically squeezed backward, as if trying to merge her body into the pavilion pillar.

The pavilion began to shake under the strength of her Middle Stage of the King Realm.

”Young... Young Master Xiao, I... I cannot dirty your clothes.”

Lin Yuemei shook her head like a rattle-drum.

Because of her fear, her body kept trembling, and her speech was intermittent and somewhat unclear.

”Come here.”

With a cold snort from Young Master Xiao Zimo, Lin Yuemei was pulled by an invisible force; no matter how she struggled, it was of no use.

In an instant, she flew backward toward where Young Master Xiao Zimo was.

Young Master Xiao Zimo pinched Lin Yuemei’s chin as if lifting a little chick.

Seeing Lin Yuemei in such a disheveled and miserable state, Young Master Xiao Zimo’s patience had been completely exhausted.

He couldn’t help but wonder, is this woman really the woman of a Child of Destiny?

But thinking of the eccentric Young Patriarch Zhao Zhengyuan, Young Master Xiao Zimo quickly let it go.

”Young... Young Master Xiao, why do you want to do this? Isn’t Brother Zhengyuan your follower?”

Lin Yuemei, being held in the air by Young Master Xiao Zimo, said with difficulty.

Young Master Xiao Zimo sneered, released his hand, and turned around.

He said coldly, ”During the time I was not at the Heavenly Dao Academy, how many dirty deeds did he commit using my name?”

”And how much profiteering did he gain from it? He never mentioned these things to me. A white-eyed wolf who only ruins my reputation and cannot be tamed—what is the use of keeping him?”

Lying on the ground, gasping for breath, Lin Yuemei’s eyes actually revealed a look of surprise upon hearing this.

She looked up at Young Master Xiao Zimo and said excitedly, ”My relationship with Young Patriarch Zhao Zhengyuan is actually not as good as outsiders think.”

”Oh? Tell me about it.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo’s eyes showed interest; could there be some hidden story?

”Young Master Xiao, do you remember the situation when you first met Young Patriarch Zhao Zhengyuan?”

Lin Yuemei asked.

Young Master Xiao Zimo nodded.

How could he forget the situation when he first met Young Patriarch Zhao Zhengyuan?

After one meeting, he hadn’t been able to eat for three days!

How could he forget, how could he possibly forget this unforgettable memory!

”Actually, I don’t like him at all; the intimate relationship with him in the academy was something I deliberately showed!”

”The three people who wanted to kill him when you first saw him were the ones who went to cause him trouble after I instigated them.”
