I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 10 The Engagement is NullifiedYoung Master Xiao Chen was sent reeling back, the web between his thumb and forefinger splitting open and bleeding profusely as he gripped his sword. He looked at Patriarch Cao Xiaotian, shocked and furious: ”Patriarch Cao! You are actually protecting this traitor?”

”Whether I protect him or not is not for you to decide,” Patriarch Cao Xiaotian said indifferently. ”The affairs of the Cao family are governed by the Cao family’s own rules. If you dare to make another move, do not blame me for being discourteous.”

Young Master Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, but he dared not act presumptuously again. Patriarch Cao Xiaotian was an old monster in the Nascent Soul Stage; if they truly fought, he wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single move.

Emperor Cao Xukun ignored the livid Young Master Xiao Chen and turned to look at Su Wanqing. The young girl stood where she was, pale-faced and with a dazed look in her eyes, still clutching that confession and token in her hand.

”Su Wanqing.” Emperor Cao Xukun’s voice softened significantly, yet it carried an unquestionable strength. ”I know you are in a lot of pain right now. Being deceived by the person you trust most is something no one could accept.”

”But I do not want to lie to you. Every word I said today is true.”

He took a step forward, looking at her with burning eyes: ”Everything Young Master Xiao Chen can give you, I can give you. And what he cannot give you, I can also provide.”

”His promise to take you to the pinnacle of the Immortal Path is nothing but empty talk. I am different; what I give you is a visible future.” Emperor Cao Xukun pointed to himself. ”Three months ago, I was a good-for-nothing crippled by him; three months later, I can cripple Cao Xuan in three moves. In the future, I will be able to crush his destiny and overturn this ridiculous Heavenly Dao.”

”Follow me, and I will make you the most noble woman in the Xuanhuang Great World. You may choose from the rare treasures of all the heavens and worlds at will; you may cultivate supreme divine arts and techniques as you please. It is far better than following a hypocrite who stabs you in the back and ends up using you as a stepping stone on his path to the top.”

The crowd below was in an uproar.

”My heavens! Snatching a bride in public? He’s way too bold!”

”But what Emperor Cao Xukun said seems to make some sense. If Young Master Xiao Chen can kill his own brother, how sincere can he be towards a woman?”

Young Master Xiao Chen was trembling with rage and roared: ”Su Wanqing! Don’t listen to his nonsense! He is just a despicable villain trying to sow discord between us!”

”Sow discord?” Emperor Cao Xukun sneered. ”Do I even need to sow discord when it comes to the dirty deeds you’ve done yourself? Do you dare swear to the Heavenly Dao that you didn’t scheme to harm me? Do you dare say that you didn’t approach Su Wanqing because you coveted her Innate Dao Body, hoping to use it for dual cultivation to breakthrough in the future?”

Young Master Xiao Chen was instantly rendered speechless, his face turning alternating shades of green and white.

Su Wanqing looked up sharply at Young Master Xiao Chen. She saw the panic and evasion in his eyes, and her last shred of fantasy was completely shattered.

So, he never truly loved her. All he loved was her Innate Dao Body and the help she could provide him.

All those years of being childhood sweethearts, all those years of unwavering devotion—in the end, it was all misplaced.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her gaze became incomparably firm. She walked to Emperor Cao Xukun’s side, then turned and said to Young Master Xiao Chen, word by word:

”Young Master Xiao Chen, our engagement is annulled.”

These five words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Young Master Xiao Chen dizzy and bewildered.

”What did you say?!” Young Master Xiao Chen couldn’t believe his ears. ”Wanqing! Have you gone crazy? You would actually break off our engagement for this good-for-nothing?”

”He is not a good-for-nothing,” Su Wanqing said coldly. ”The truly despicable and shameless one is you. From this day forward, our relationship is severed, and we have nothing more to do with each other.”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Successfully captured the Golden Luck female, Su Wanqing!]

[Reward obtained: 10,000 system points, random divine artifact ”chaos ring” × 1, cultivation level increased by one major realm!]

[Host’s current cultivation level: Foundation Establishment Stage Initial!]

A terrifying power instantly erupted from Emperor Cao Xukun’s body, and black Chaos Spiritual Power soared into the sky, triggering celestial phenomena. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning; the entire Zhongzhou City could feel this powerful aura.

Everyone was stunned.

”Foundation Establishment Stage! He actually broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

”He was just at Qi Refining Stage 3 a moment ago, how did he suddenly reach the Foundation Establishment Stage? This is too outrageous!”

Emperor Cao Xukun felt the surging power within him, and a satisfied smile curled the corners of his lips. He put on the chaos ring, and a force of space flowed through his fingertips; it actually contained a huge internal storage space.

[Ding! New villain mission issued: Make Su Wanqing pregnant]

[Mission reward: 100,000 system points, random Chaos-level bloodline × 1]

[Mission failure: Su Wanqing’s favorability towards the host will be reset to zero, and she will return to Young Master Xiao Chen]

”Rest assured, I will definitely complete this mission,” Emperor Cao Xukun thought to himself.

On the other side, Young Master Xiao Chen looked at Su Wanqing standing beside Emperor Cao Xukun and felt the Foundation Establishment Stage aura on Emperor Cao Xukun, only to feel a surge of blood rush to his throat.

”Pfft—!”

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning as pale as paper.

[Ding! Detected that the Son of Destiny, Young Master Xiao Chen, has suffered a major blow; his Luck has plummeted by 30%!]

”Emperor Cao Xukun! Su Wanqing!” Young Master Xiao Chen stared fixedly at the two, his eyes filled with resentment and killing intent. ”I will not let you off! Just you wait! I will definitely make you pay a painful price!”

Having said that, he clutched his chest, staggered as he turned around, and fled the Cao family martial arts arena in a sorry state amidst the disdainful gazes of the crowd.

Watching Young Master Xiao Chen’s retreating figure as he fled in defeat, Emperor Cao Xukun sneered.

This was only the beginning.

He turned his head to look at Su Wanqing beside him and gently took her hand: ”Rest assured, with me here, he cannot hurt you.”

Su Wanqing looked up at him, her eyes filled with a hint of shyness and reliance, and nodded gently.
