I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 137: Unqualified to Prance in Front of Gu Changge; Trembling Mind!

‘Lord Long Teng?’

Yue Mingkong’s indifferent eyes showed some fluctuations as she listened to the name from the dragon-horned girl’s mouth, and confirmed her identity.

Still, she didn’t care about her.

The Long Teng she knew — although he was scary and was also the best of the younger generation, and never suffered defeat after leaving the Ancient Immortal Continent, so much so that even some ancient monsters who removed their seals weren’t a match for him — disappeared in the end as if he never existed in the world, and turned into a strange case.

Many cultivators felt regret over his disappearance as they believed that Long Teng’s talent could help him stand at the pinnacle of the world in the future.

Alas! He disappeared out of nowhere, and all they could do was sigh.

Many thought that Long Teng strayed into some forbidden area or fell into some Spatial Crack that led him to some entrapped world, and died there.

But now that she had regressed, Yue Mingkong felt that it was very likely that Long Teng fell in Gu Changge’s poisonous hands.

She remembered that one day in her last life, Gu Changge whispered something to her, and seemed to have mentioned Long Teng.

Gu Changge held the [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art] in his arsenal, so how could he not salivate after Long Teng’s True Dragon talent?

With his character, it was impossible for him to let Long Teng go.

[Hum!]

Yue Mingkong soon came back from her trip down memory lane; her indifferent expression showed no change as the palm of her hand fell and formed a plain, jade hand that was translucent and crystal clear.

This Imperial Art of hers was quite tyrannical, and although the Realm she showed on the surface put her in the Middle Stage of the Conferred King Realm, the might she gave off easily reached the level of True Gods, and that shocked everyone in the surroundings.

One had to accept that if Yue Mingkong was in the same Realm as the dragon-horned girl in front of them, then she would have definitely dominated her without a hitch.

The dragon-horned girl showed a change in her complexion. With her Cultivation Base and physical strength, she could hold back Yue Mingkong, but she realized that she was the one falling at a disadvantage.

She immediately brought out her tyrannical physical strength! Radiance flowed around her figure, and she resisted her foe’s blow, but her figure still flew back in the Void.

“Lord Long Teng asked me to gather genius women from the outlanders, so if you willingly submit to him, then you will surely have a happy time.”

“Only a woman like you is qualified to be with Lord Long Teng!”

The dragon-horned girl kept on persuading Yue Mingkong while exchanging blows with her.

A mighty genius like Yue Mingkong was hard to come by even among their Ancient Immortal Tribe, so much so that they might not even see one like her in hundreds of thousands of years.

Dragons were promiscuous creatures, and their Lord Long Teng had a hobby of collecting beauties from all kinds of races, and that was why he sent his people to capture genius beauties from the outside world. Anyone who got one for him could go and claim some rewards from him.

It was a coincidence that she came across Yue Mingkong!

When she saw her for the first time, even she, a woman couldn’t take her gaze away from her flawless features and felt sour and jealous in her heart, so how could a man not feel his blood rush to certain regions of their body after seeing her?

Right after seeing her, she made a move to capture Yue Mingkong as she believed that it wouldn’t be all that difficult, but now, she couldn’t help but feel anxious after exchanging innumerable blows with her.

Yue Mingkong was as strong as her, and that shocked her!

She couldn’t help but envy the beauty in front of her.

It was because of this that she decided to persuade Yue Mingkong in a language that she could understand.

After all, their Lord Long Teng could be said to be the most terrifying talent their Tribe saw in the last few million years. The old fogies in the Tribe even said that their Lord Long Teng could compete for the title of True Dragon in the future.

True Dragon! It was a mighty existence that surpassed even True Immortals!

The dragon-horned girl held utmost respect for her Lord Long Teng in her heart.

It was a pity that her face wasn’t good enough to enter Lord Long Teng’s eyes.

“You better pray that this Empress’ fiance doesn’t hear those words…”

Yue Mingkong couldn’t help but shake her head and say with a hint of mockery in her tone when she recalled Long Teng’s fate in her previous life.

What were these so-called Young Supremes and Ancient Monsters in front of Gu Changge?

They weren’t even qualified to prance around in front of him.

“Fiance?”

The dragon-horned girl’s expression showed a drastic change when she heard those words, and she said with a fierce tone, “Your fiance is going to die then! No one can escape after touching the woman desired by Lord Long Teng.”

Yue Mingkong didn’t give a damn about her threat, and kept on exchanging blows with her.

At the same time, she wondered if she should expose some of her cards and kill the annoying dragon-horned girl in front of her?

However, she decided not to do so.

Wasting her trump cards on the dragon-horned girl wasn’t worth it as the dragon-horned girl probably also had means to counter her attacks.

The dragon-horned girl, on the other hand, realized that it wasn’t possible for her to win against the woman in front of her, so she prepared to take her leave as well.

She had to report the matter to her Lord Long Teng.

The Ancient Immortal Tribe lorded over countless Families of aborigines in the Ancient Immortal Continent, so they already knew about the young talents from outside coming in to gain some experience.

The birth of the Immortal Treasure was actually just the remnant brilliance of a treasure released by the Ancient Immortal Tribe.

It was their plan to attract the outsiders.

The Ancient Immortal Continent had been closed for a long time, and the younger generations of the Ancient Immortal Tribe wanted to go out to experience the outside world, to gain knowledge and experience…at the same time, they would also raise the prestige of their Ancient Immortal Tribe.

Long Teng was the leader of their Ancient Immortal Tribe’s younger generation.

The dragon-horned girl, on the other hand, wasn’t even in the top ten of their younger generation, yet she could still look down on all the Young Supremes from the outside world.

After all, the Spiritual Qi and Cultivation Resources in the Ancient Immortal Continent were far richer than what the outsiders could chance upon in the outside world.

Not to mention the fact that there were countless hidden opportunities littered all over the Continent.

For example: ‘Supreme Stone Carvings, Remains of Quasi-Emperors…and much more.’

This allowed the younger generations in the Ancient Immortal Continent to be stronger than the younger generations of the heritages outside.

The dragon-horned girl felt that they didn’t even need their Lord Long Teng to take action if they wanted to take down the outsiders.

‘Long Teng, eh…how long will he live in this life?’

Yue Mingkong watched the dragon-horned girl leave, but didn’t pursue her.

She had a deep and calm expression as she watched her disappear in the distance. The most important matter was that she knew that…the dragon-horned girl was dead meat.

‘Gu Changge wouldn’t think that I deliberately pinned this hatred on his head, right?’

Yue Mingkong’s phoenix eyes narrowed and she tried to guess Gu Changge’s thoughts based on his temperament, ‘That Long Teng, he probably won’t even take him seriously…at most, Long Teng will be regarded as prey.’

Although she put down her guard towards Gu Changge, she still didn’t fully trust him.

‘Once bitten, twice shy.’

Yue Mingkong also had her own thoughts.

She knew that the relationship between Gu Changge and her was much closer than before, but all of that…

In her final analysis, the reason Gu Changge revealed his secret to her, cared about her opinion, gave her Mystical Weapons, and even said words that could move her heart was all because the current her held some importance to Gu Changge.

Yue Mingkong had a clear mind now, and wasn’t someone who would easily be tricked by Gu Changge.

Of course…she hoped that she was just thinking too much, and that she just misunderstood Gu Changge in this life.

She wanted to be by Gu Changge’s side, she wanted to be his virtuous wife who helped him through everything, she wanted to bear his babies, she wanted to help him rule the world, she wanted to look down on the Heavens with him, and she wanted to stand at the pinnacle of reality with him.

Of course, on the premise that…that there were no ‘vixens’ coming up to court death!

Gu Changge only belonged to her!

‘Xian’er…’

Soon, Yue Mingkong recalled something important and her expression changed as worry clawed at her heart. Immediately, she left the place and rushed towards the place where Gu Xian’er was trapped.

Her followers followed after her, releasing a mighty aura as their entourage moved forward.

Over the last period of time, Yue Mingkong relied on her prophetic ability to grab countless opportunities before anyone else could find them.

She even took away an Imperial Inheritance.

She also planned to find an opportunity to break through to the False God Realm.

Her apparent Cultivation Base was in the Middle Stage of the Conferred King Realm, but that was all an illusion; this was something she learned from Gu Changge!

[Boom!]

Mountains fell in her wake one after another.

It didn’t take long for Yue Mingkong to bring her large group of followers to the area where Gu Xian’er was trapped by the Sea King Palace.

Along the way, she didn’t see the figure of the cultivators who were previously watching the hunt, and that puzzled her.

Considering Gu Changge’s temperament, there was no way he would care about Gu Xian’er’s life and death, so she had to do something.

Although she knew that Gu Xian’er would survive the ordeal, and even achieve a breakthrough during a critical moment, that didn’t mean Yue Mingkong wouldn’t worry about her future sister-in-law!

[TL/N: you are in for a surprise, Yandere-chan.]

When she reached her destination, she smelled a strong smell of blood. Countless mountains and forests had collapsed and turned to dust; massive cracks could be seen everywhere on the ground, and the earth appeared to be ruined.

“Princess, we have received some news…Young Master Changge, he just left this place not too long ago…”

“The Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace died at Young Master Changge’s hands!”

“Miss Xian’er…she’s not in danger anymore. Young Master Changge appeared at a critical moment and saved her…all Sea Creatures of the Sea King Palace were slaughtered here.”

Right then, one of Yue Mingkong’s followers stepped forward and reported the details to her with respect.

“No wonder there’s so much blood here! It turns out that he was here.”

Yue Mingkong was shaken by the news, but soon reacted and gave the woman behind her a nod in response with some feelings of relief.

At the same time, she felt the birth of a complicated emotion in her heart which she had never expected to feel…to think that Gu Changge would show up and save Gu Xian’er.

He even killed the Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace here.

If she remembered correctly, then the Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace was murdered by Gu Xian’er when she set off to avenge herself for her grievance, and then the Sea King Palace set out to hunt her down.

Yet, in this life, the Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace died so fast?

What’s more? Gu Xian’er didn’t achieve a breakthrough at a critical moment either.

The timeline was going in a different direction, and it wasn’t a good thing.

‘Did I really misunderstand Gu Changge…just what is he planning…’

Yue Mingkong rubbed her glabella and wondered.

To be honest, right now, she was shaken to her core.

One time could be a coincidence, but what about a second time?

What about a third time?

Could it be that her previous life’s experience made her develop deep prejudice against Gu Changge in this life?

Was she projecting the one she experienced in the previous life on him, and thinking that he had a reason for everything he did?

Right now, Yue Mingkong couldn’t help but question whether the past life she experienced was even real?

If it wasn’t, then why were her experiences so real…every day, every night, every emotion, and everything else…she remembered it all so vividly.

If it was real, then did it mean that this life and world were different from the one she lived previously?

‘Forget it, this matter will become clear sooner or later! But what could have caused the Gu Changge in my previous life to be different from the Gu Changge in this life?’

‘His attitude towards Xian’er’ is indeed different from before. It seems I will have to take an opportunity to go to the Ancient Immortal Gu Family and ask Uncle Gu about it after I am done with the Ancient Immortal Continent.’

Yue Mingkong soon left the place as well. Since she had come to the Ancient Immortal Continent, she wasn’t willing to just raise her Cultivation Base to the False God Realm — she had other, higher ambitions.

……

[East of the Ancient Immortal Continent, Near the Aboriginal Ruins.]

[Puff!]

A black and white divine light containing a strange power rushed towards a terrifying beast, and turned it into a hideous-looking bag of bones.

A young man with a handsome face took action at lightning-speed and eliminated the beast standing in front of him.

“So strong! Brother Ye’s strength amazes me!”

The scene shocked the young men and women behind him.

The man in front of them, who went by the pseudonym of Ye Lin, truly amazed them. The fact that they ridiculed him before made them wonder if they were blind before?

“Brother Ye’s strength is advancing by leaps and bounds! Only a short period of time has passed, yet he’s already about to break through to the Conferred King Realm…”

A woman with petite and delicate features said with a tone full of emotions — she was dressed in a feather coat, btw. [TL/N: OV HAR BREATHRAN!]

“That’s right! What’s more? He can kill False God Realm beasts in one blow! Even many of the Young Supremes aren’t able to achieve such a feat.”

A red-dressed charming woman with foxtails moving behind her pursed her lips and smiled. At the same time, she curved her eyes, and gave off a seductive appearance.

The young man in front of her couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction when he heard her words.

After all, the purpose behind him taking the initiative to show his strength in front of everyone was to posture.

What use was strength if one wasn’t posturing with it?

How are you supposed to capture the hearts of maidens if you aren’t going to put on a show of might?

Along the way, all they saw were majestic mountains and lush ancient forests. There were massive trees with their branches spread in all directions, covering the sky.

This place had even denser Immortal Mist streaming around. Clouds made of the mist floated around in all directions and displayed their strong vitality.

They could feel countless mighty auras hidden in the mountain ruins; Spiritual Qi intertwined and released gorgeous brilliance in the area that was filled with fighting spirit.

There were ancient artifacts releasing divine brilliance, and Immortal Herbs releasing their medicinal fragrance that permeated the surrounding thousands of miles.

Many cultivators robbed whatever they could get their hands on.

Even ferocious beasts in the Heavenly God Realm would appear every now and then. Terrifying fluctuations of energy would shoot towards the sky and shake everything when they appeared.

It was a chaotic battlefield. Be it the cultivators from the outside, or mighty aborigines, all of them were lost in battle.

Under Ye Ling’s leadership, however, their group gained a lot of opportunities! What’s more? They were even able to turn a calamity into fortune, and reached their current spot without encountering any disaster.

‘Turtle Bro, is the good stuff the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation left for me really there? Why is it in the territory of the aborigines? Won’t I be courting death if I go in there with my current strength?’

Ye Ling looked at the outline of the city in the distance and felt that it wouldn’t be easy for him to break in unnoticed, so he asked the old ghost in his pendant.

‘Humph! Where else do you think it’s going to be? Ye Ling, the Heavenly Venerate was a character from the Ancient Immortal Era, and he was good at manipulating time itself, so it’s a matter of course that he’s already taken care of preparing everything for you.’

‘Sure, there are many strong figures ahead, but you are the Successor of the Heavenly Venerate, so how come you are such a coward…’

The old turtle in the pendant spoke with disdain.

Ye Ling finally put down his worries after listening to the old turtle’s words. After all, the old turtle was reliable most of the time, and wouldn’t throw him into a pit of fire.

It’s just that the matter involved the secrets of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation, so he had to make sure the others wouldn’t get a whiff about it.

Ye Ling would never reveal his secret, or he would become a massive piece of meat desired by a lot of powerhouses who would do anything to get their hands on him.

After thinking for a while, Ye Ling thought up a plan and then winked at Yin Mei and Chi Ling.

To him, these two women weren’t outsiders.

Chi Ling and Yin Mei understood his signal, and immediately waved their hands to have their followers retreat.

“Ye Ling, what’s the matter?”

Chi Ling questioned.

She couldn’t understand why Ye Ling took the initiative to lead the way and brought them here.

“I need to go to the ruins in front of me and get some stuff done! If you believe me, you can sneak in with me, too.”

Ye Ling said seriously.

The two women had countless tricks up their sleeves, and had, in fact, taken good care of him on the way.

Yin Mei’s eyes rippled slightly, and she said without hesitation, “I believe in you!”

Actually, she already knew that Gu Changge had already reached their location, and wasn’t far from her.

Because of the [Great Dao Treasured Bottle] implanted in her Primordial Spirit, Gu Changge could pass instructions to her without needing any other medium.

Ye Ling was moved when he saw that Yin Mei put unconditional trust in him.

They were about to sneak into the territory of the aborigines of the Ancient Immortal Continent, and the dangers of their actions couldn’t be estimated, yet Yin Mei didn’t hesitate at all in her response…it showed how much she trusted him.

And soon, Chi Ling, too, chose to agree as she, too, believed in Ye Ling’s character.

After that, Ye Ling explained his plan and arrangements to the two, and how they would sneak into the ruins.

[On a nearby mountain peak.]

Gu Changge’s figure appeared out of thin air and he looked at the ruins in the distance with a smile on his face.

It didn’t take him long to find his destination with the trail left by Yin Mei.

For this operation, Gu Changge decided not to bring any of his followers, as it would be stupid to be too high-profile at this time.

‘According to Yin Mei’s report, Ye Ling’s opportunity should be hidden inside those ruins, but it will take him some time to sneak inside.’

‘I will have enough time to sneak in and find their ancestral tombs and finish my job.’

As he thought of this, the Void in front of Gu Changge blurred and he stepped inside it and disappeared.

With the previous experience, he was far more familiar with the process of locating ancestral tombs and sneaking in.
