Another half an hour passed.
Lin Yu emerged from Liu Xue's chamber feeling refreshed.
With a smile on his face, he headed towards his own courtyard.
From initial complete resistance to eventual reluctant acceptance, Lin Yu was quite satisfied with his achievements.
However, he wasn't just "getting things for free"!
Before leaving, he placed a jade bottle containing a God-Breaking Pill on the tea table.
Liu Xue had just failed to break through her realm, and without this pill, she would have to wait two or three years to try again.
But with this pill, she could quickly regain her strength and succeed in her breakthrough.
Once Liu Xue successfully advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would have a formidable backer.
At the very least, it would provide a good environment for his growth.
***
Inside the chamber.
Liu Xue blushed as she dressed.
She truly hadn't expected this side of herself.
"Hmph, it's all that rebellious disciple's fault. If it weren't for him, how could I be like this!"
She quickly found a good excuse for herself.
But in just a moment, her beautiful face was once again clouded with worry.
Having such a relationship with a rebellious disciple, how would she face her sisters in the future?
By rights, Lin Yu, aside from being handsome, had nothing else going for him and was unlikely to become a disciple of their seven sisters.
But three years ago, they lost a bet to the Peak Master of Hundred Flowers Peak and had to choose the least talented disciple from that year's batch, which was Lin Yu.
Because of this, none of the sisters treated this disciple well, leading to a poor master-disciple relationship.
But now, she had been with the rebellious disciple, and it would surely be discovered.
When that time came, she truly didn't know what to do.
"Sigh! Forget it, I'll deal with it when it happens!"
She sighed deeply, trying to comfort herself.
Hmm~~
What's this?
Just as she was setting aside her worries and planning to heal her injuries, she noticed a jade bottle and a small note on the tea table.
With a puzzled expression, she picked them up to examine.
[My dear Xue, this is a Supreme God-Breaking Pill. It will help you quickly advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Consider it our token of love!]
This is... a Supreme God-Breaking Pill?
Liu Xue looked at the jade bottle in her hand with surprise.
Her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
If this was real, it was extremely tempting for her.
If she had this pill before, she wouldn't have failed her breakthrough. Even a lower-grade God-Breaking Pill would have sufficed.
With a mix of anticipation and anxiety, she opened the jade bottle.
A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, instantly refreshing her and even healing her minor injuries.
"No doubt, this... is indeed a Supreme God-Breaking Pill!"
She exclaimed in her heart, a look of joy spreading across her face.
When did that rebellious disciple acquire such fortune?
Along with her surprise, she couldn't help but marvel at the rebellious disciple's extraordinary luck.
She had no doubt about the legitimacy of Lin Yu's possession of this item.
Because it was extremely rare, not just on Jade Spirit Peak, but in the entire Ethereal Sect.
Without a fortuitous encounter, it was impossible for a Qi Refining Realm disciple to have it.
But, should she accept and use this item?
The rebellious disciple did say it was a token of love.
If she used it, wouldn't that be tacitly agreeing?
She fell into a dilemma once again.
That rebellious disciple always put her in tough spots, even leaving a note with a gift, how annoying!
"Hmph, might as well take it. I've already given myself to him, taking something from him is only fair!"
After a moment of hesitation, she made up her mind.
After all, she couldn't stop anything, just like earlier, she resisted but to no avail!
The rebellious disciple would do what he wanted anyway.
***
On Jade Spirit Peak, near the Sword Cliff, stood a modest courtyard.
This was Lin Yu's residence.
To the north of the courtyard was a two-story bamboo building, which he had built with his own hands.
Originally, a direct disciple would have a dedicated palace hall.
But in the past, he had no ability to maintain it, and his master didn't care at all, so he had to create a courtyard here.
The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and though the spiritual energy wasn't as dense as the core area, it was a nice place to live.
He sat on a recliner in the center of the courtyard, enjoying the sunset while studying the system's functions.
[System Name: Villain Conquest System]
[Function Introduction: Conquering Destined Heroines or Daughters of Destiny grants cultivation points. These points can be used to directly enhance one's cultivation or to comprehend various combat techniques and secret arts. Once the mall function is activated, they can also be exchanged for various items.]
[Function Modules: Host Attribute Panel, Son/Daughter of Destiny Profile Panel, Exchange Mall Interface (not activated)]
[Note: Conquering or killing a Son/Daughter of Destiny grants special destiny rewards. In certain scenarios, the system will trigger scenario missions based on the context.]
Lin Yu set down his teacup, a smile on his face.
This system was truly amazing, perfectly matching his current villainous role.
There was only one thing he wasn't quite sure about.
From the introduction, it seemed like this novel world had more than one destined person.
But in the original book he read, there was only Ye Xuan as the protagonist from start to finish.
"System bro, is this function only set for Ye Xuan as the sole destined person?"
Lin Yu asked.
[Host, that's a question for you. If you let Ye Xuan live comfortably, then indeed, there will only be one destiny.]
[Once a destiny is conquered or dies, the Heavenly Dao will bestow a new Seed of Destiny. The number of destinies depends entirely on the host's capabilities.]
[Of course, it's not recommended for the host to use violence to eliminate a destined person too early, as they are protected by fate. Using force too soon will only accelerate their growth.]
Oh wow~~
Is that how it works?
Honestly, after hearing the system's explanation, Lin Yu was a bit shocked.
In his previous life, he read many villain novels, but never encountered one like this, where killing one would bring another.
Isn't this clearly encouraging him to undermine the Heavenly Dao?
As for the last piece of advice, Lin Yu didn't need to be told. Protagonists naturally have their protagonist's halo. If they were that easy to kill, they wouldn't be called protagonists.
Only by gradually seizing their opportunities, destabilizing their mindset, and reducing their fate luck can he deliver the most lethal blow at the critical moment.
"System, how can I determine when it's safe to kill a destined person?"
This question was crucial, as mastering it was essential. Otherwise, it would be difficult to gauge, and one mistake could allow them to rise again.
[When a destined person's fate luck value drops to 5%, they can be killed without the protection of the Heavenly Dao.]
Five percent, huh!
Though challenging, as long as it's not impossible to kill, there's a way to handle it.
[Ding! Detected that Destined Heroine Liu Xue's favorability towards the host has increased by 10.]
