11 – What if I Want to Be a Bloody Villain?
Yun Sangsang, upon hearing Yuan Ning Wang’s words, felt as if she had glimpsed a ray of hope, her eyes instantly lighting up!
Ahhh, her Little Yuanning was relenting!
As long as she told Little Yuanning the reason, he would offer her worship, right?
Yun Sangsang tried hard to calm her excited heart and said to Yuan Ning Wang, “Because I am a Star Lord who resides among the stars. To possess Immortal Power, I must draw radiance from the celestial stars and transform it for my own use. However, due to certain reasons that are inconvenient to disclose for now, I cannot personally draw upon the starlight radiance at present. So, I need to find someone to worship me, form a bond with me, and help me gather starlight radiance to restore my Immortal Power—”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ning Wang fell into thoughtful contemplation.
So that was it.
He glanced at Yun Sangsang.
This Broom Star had probably offended someone in the heavens and fled to the mortal realm to seek refuge, right?
That was why she dared not personally draw upon the starlight radiance, fearing that the Immortal Deities from above would track her down and discover her whereabouts.
She could only rely on an ordinary mortal to gather starlight radiance for her.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ning Wang suddenly curled the corners of his lips.
In that case, their current situations were quite similar.
He had been betrayed by his adopted son in the demon realm and had now come to the mortal world, borrowing this little orphan’s body to lay low for a while, waiting until he regained his strength before returning to the demon realm to wreak havoc.
As for her, she had offended someone in the Immortal Realm and fled to the mortal world for refuge, secretly seeking an ordinary mortal to worship her. Once she regained her strength, she would likely return to the Celestial Realm to settle scores.
Since they were both souls adrift in the same predicament, helping her out wouldn’t be impossible.
However, it had to be under the condition of ensuring his own safety.
He asked, “If I agree to worship you, aside from helping you gather starlight radiance, what else would you require me to do? After worshipping you, will you impose any restrictions on me in the future? Are there any other demands?”
Yun Sangsang gazed at him gently. “There’s nothing else needed. Just be a good person with your sister from now on, accumulating virtue through good deeds. Because those who receive divine protection must be great doers of good who perform at least one virtuous act daily. If you can accumulate virtue throughout your life, your sister will protect you for your entire life, until your life comes to an end.”
“Hmm…” Yuan Ning Wang nearly laughed out loud upon hearing this and couldn’t help but look at Yun Sangsang with amusement in his eyes.
This Broom Star actually wanted him to accumulate virtue and be a good person?
To him, the Demon Lord, this was almost like a joke…
Did he look like someone who could be a good person?
And as for her promise to protect him for his entire life, until his life ended—did she know how terrifying that promise was? After all, he was a Demon Lord who could live for hundreds of thousands of years…
Was she prepared to accompany him for hundreds of thousands of years?
Thinking of this, Yuan Ning Wang chuckled softly.
Meeting Yun Sangsang’s expectant gaze, Yuan Ning Wang asked with a light laugh, “What if I don’t want to accumulate virtue? What if I want to be a villain with blood-stained hands?”
“Hmm…” All of Yun Sangsang’s hopes nearly crumbled at his chuckle!
Ahhh, why would a perfectly good child insist on becoming a villain with blood-stained hands?
Wouldn’t it be better to be an obedient, cute, and lovely little child?
With a pained heart, she glanced at the black aura surrounding him and earnestly advised, “Little Yuanning, wake up! Don’t become a great villain! Do you know why you lost both parents and are left alone and helpless? It’s because you were an utterly wicked villain in your past life, despised by the heavens, with black aura and misfortune clinging all over you!”So in this lifetime, you must never stray onto the wrong path again. You must turn over a new leaf and become a good person with your sister, so you can wash away your sins and enter the reincarnation cycle clean and pure!”
Yuan Ning Wang felt like laughing.
What a silly celestial maiden.
He just wanted to know when she would finally realize that what he carried was demonic energy, not the same misfortune she had.
He glanced at Yun Sangsang with a smile and leisurely asked, “So if I don’t become a good person, I can’t worship you, is that right?”
Yun Sangsang felt a headache coming on. Why did this child insist on being a bad person?
Seeing her expression, Yuan Ning Wang smiled inwardly, thinking it seemed he and this celestial maiden were fated to part ways.
He, the Demon Lord, would absolutely never become a good person.
A mere Broom Star was not enough to change his nature and make him abandon evil for good.
He would return to the demon realm sooner or later to unleash slaughter, sending all those who betrayed him into the reincarnation cycle, leaving none behind.
He shook his head and said, “In that case, celestial maiden, you’d better find someone else to worship you as soon as possible. I, Xie Yuanning, will not be a good person. From the moment I was born until now, the world has shown me nothing but malice, with no one treating me kindly in the slightest. Why shouldn’t I return that malice to the world? Why should I abandon evil for good and become a good person?”
He chuckled lightly, “I won’t be a good person, I won’t.”
Yun Sangsang was stunned for a moment, then gently embraced this child who, at only eight years old, had already endured all the suffering in the world.
She patted his back softly, looking down at him with tender affection.
“Little Yuanning, I know you’ve suffered greatly and endured endless torment these past few years. That’s why you’re so cynical, but a person’s life spans several decades, and you’ve only lived eight years. Those eight years were bitter, but the next few decades may not be.
Once you leave this poor, ignorant village, you’ll meet many, many good people. They will treat you sincerely and offer you the warmest kindness.”
“Uh…” Yuan Ning Wang was caught off guard by her embrace again. He sighed, not even bothering to think about breaking her arm.
This Broom Star, why was she so fond of physical contact!
Forced to lean against her faintly fragrant embrace, he listened as she poured heartwarming words into him.
Her words made him want to laugh.
Hah…
The child’s body he currently inhabited was indeed only eight years old, and this child had indeed only experienced eight years of suffering and torment, but as Yuan Ning, the Demon Realm Sovereign, what he had endured was far more than eight years of hardship?
In his youth, during countless tortures and near-death experiences, he had naively comforted himself that as long as he endured, as long as he survived steadfastly, he would eventually meet someone willing to treat him well. But to this day, he had never met that person.
There were good people in the world, and good demons too, but none belonged to him.
Unaware of his thoughts, after finishing her heartwarming speech, Yun Sangsang said to him solemnly, “Celestial maiden sister officially announces to you that your misfortune and suffering will completely end in your eighth year. From now on, celestial maiden sister will treat you kindly. Celestial maiden sister will be the first person to be good to you, okay?”
Yuan Ning Wang, who had been lost in memories of his painful childhood, was caught off guard by such a promise, his pupils suddenly contracting!
Two breaths later, he abruptly looked up.
His deep eyes fixed on Yun Sangsang, meeting the bright smile in her eyes. He suddenly curled his lips and asked with a smile, “Even if I never agree to worship you, you’ll still be good to me?”
In Yun Sangsang’s heart, a voice said, Silly child, of course that’s impossible!I’m being nice to you just so you’ll agree to worship me. If you don’t worship me, I’ll run out of Immortal Power and kick the bucket—what’s the point of being nice then?
Anyway, I’m giving you three days. During these three days, I’ll treat you with sincerity. If you still refuse to worship me after three days, then we’ll go our separate ways. This celestial maiden will have to go find the next destined person!
