“Extreme Yin Body? And there’s a chance it could give birth to a Chaotic Physique?” Lin Xingyun’s thoughts stirred. “And it also hinders early-stage cultivation. No wonder, even with her ‘Extraordinary Talent,’ just like me, she’s only at the Vital Energy Realm at age eighteen.”
“As for her brother Lin Chuan, he’s clearly the true Child of Destiny. And right now, he’s within the Lin Clan—ready to be harvested!”
Lin Xingyun pondered for a moment, then looked at the delicate girl sealed in ice. The flush on her cheeks was rapidly fading, and if this continued, her life would be extinguished by the uncontrollable power of the Extreme Yin Body.
“She’s Lin Chuan’s only blood-related sister. If I want to break Lin Chuan’s mental state, she’s the best place to start.”
“Looks like I’ll have to save her first.”
Just as Lin Xingyun was about to carry her to the clan elders for help, a thought struck him. The ice crystals weren’t an external attack—they were the manifestation of her internal Extreme Yin force erupting out of control. Since he had cultivated the Swallowing Immortal Demon Art, couldn’t he just absorb her Extreme Yin energy directly?
Not only would it resolve the issue, but it would also strengthen himself. Absorbing Extreme Yin force had to be far better than just taking Spirit Stones or Spirit Herbs.
Glancing around and confirming there was no one nearby, Lin Xingyun decided to act. His entry-level Swallowing Immortal Demon Art caused minimal commotion and was well-suited for stealth.
Without hesitation, he pressed his palm onto the ice sculpture.
A tiny black vortex formed at the center of his palm. As soon as the Extreme Yin ice made contact with it, it melted instantly, like snow in boiling oil. All of it was drawn into Lin Xingyun’s body.
As the energy entered him, it transformed into streams of pure spiritual power that boosted his cultivation. The effect was astonishing—far beyond that of Spirit Stones or even Spirit Herbs, more than ten times stronger!
“Good heavens! If I keep her around, wouldn’t she be a walking energy reservoir?” Lin Xingyun’s interest grew. “While others might enjoy petting a cat, I’d be absorbing… every day…”
He didn’t dare finish that thought. It sounded too twisted.
Grinning to himself, Lin Xingyun continued using the Swallowing Immortal Demon Art. Before long, all the Yin-based ice sealing Lin Qingzhu had been absorbed. The girl gently collapsed into his arms, finally freed.
“Mm…” Lin Qingzhu murmured weakly, “Young Master… I… I was frozen again just now…”
Her slender body trembled faintly.
“It’s alright. I already broke the ice for you,” Lin Xingyun said gently, stroking her soft hair. “But your physique seems quite unique. You’ll need to find a way to prevent future outbursts.” Get faster updates on novelping dot com.
“Mm! Th-Thank you… Young Master…” Lin Qingzhu whispered, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears.
She and her brother had traveled thousands of kilometers to the Lin Clan with no one to rely on. Thankfully, she had encountered this celestial-like young master who was so kind and gentle.
But Lin Xingyun couldn’t wait any longer. He was eager to harvest her beloved brother next.
“Where do you and your brother live? I’ll take you back.”
Lin Qingzhu gave him the location and tried to stand, but her limbs were weak, and she couldn’t even stay upright. She fell straight into Lin Xingyun’s chest again.
“Ah! I-I’m so sorry, Young Master… I don’t have the strength…”
Her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment as she stammered an apology.
“It’s fine. I’m used to this. Happens all the time,” Lin Xingyun chuckled.
Thanks to the Misfortune-to-Women Physique buff, countless girls had ‘coincidentally’ fallen into his arms.
With practiced ease, he hooked his arm under her knees and picked her up horizontally. Lin Qingzhu was light and soft—holding her was effortless. Her legs, with their smooth, icy skin and graceful curves, swayed slightly and looked quite adorable.
“This will do. Let’s go.”
“Mm… Y-Young Master…” Lin Qingzhu was too embarrassed to speak and buried her face in his chest, not daring to look up.
Lin Xingyun activated Wind and Thunder Phantom Step, stepping on streams of spiritual lightning. Within the time it took to finish a cup of tea, they arrived at the small courtyard where Lin Chuan and his sister lived.
Inside the courtyard, Lin Chuan—dressed in blue and full of heroic spirit—was practicing his halberd technique.
But the moment he saw his sister being carried into the courtyard by a strikingly handsome youth, he panicked. Gripping his halberd, he charged straight at Lin Xingyun!
Lin Qingzhu, terrified, quickly shouted to stop him. It took quite some explanation before Lin Chuan finally calmed down.
To show his gratitude and apologize, Lin Chuan invited Lin Xingyun to stay as a guest in their courtyard and insisted on personally serving him tea.
Lin Xingyun casually took a seat while waiting for the tea. Meanwhile, Lin Qingzhu, having recovered some of her strength, sat obediently beside him.
“System, show me his attribute panel.”

[Favorability: 60 (Neutral)]
[Detailed Explanation:

Talented in Seals and Arrays (Purple): Born with a strong divine soul and exceptional talent in seal and array techniques.]
“…Why does this guy’s fate sound exactly like Xiao Chen’s?” Lin Xingyun muttered to himself. “Extraordinary Talent, Nirvana Rebirth, Backed by a Great Expert, Strong Divine Soul… It’s like they were produced from the same mold.”
“These two are just ridiculous!”
As Lin Xingyun grumbled in his heart, the system suddenly sent a new notification.
[Ding!]
[Detected that the Child of Destiny Lin Chuan has a favorability of 60 (Neutral) toward the host.]
[For Children of Destiny with initial favorability of (Neutral), you may choose to subdue them.]
[Once subdued, favorability is converted into Loyalty.]
[When Loyalty reaches 60 or more, subjugation is successful. You may acquire all fate points from the Child of Destiny.]
[You may also share a portion of their cultivation and fate. The higher the Loyalty, the greater the shareable cultivation and fate!]
[Would you like to subdue him now?]
“Huh? There’s such a feature? Subdue the Child of Destiny?” Lin Xingyun was surprised, then fell into thought.
First, Lin Chuan was from his own clan—not completely unusable. Second, with the Destiny Villain System in his possession, he was bound to face countless enemies in the future.
The Chaotic Physique from the Jun Clan was already hard to deal with, not to mention the horde of other Children of Destiny like Xiao Chen.
But what if he subdued a few of these Children of Destiny and made them fight one another? Let the dogs bite each other while he reaped the benefits.
Wouldn’t that be brilliant?
Especially if Lin Chuan were subdued… and then sent to fight Xiao Chen to the death!
Originally, one was supposed to become the Martial Heavenly Emperor and the other the Flame Heavenly Emperor. But now, both would be manipulated by him, locked in mortal combat!
What a beautiful sight that would be.
He was already looking forward to it.
