An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad - Chapter 45

Chapter 45 – Protagonist of a “Strongest Reincarnation” genre? My aunt is mine and mine alone!

Although the Qing Ling Sect’s strength was far from that of the Xuantian Sect, it was still a cultivating force with several Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

The sect was quite magnificent. From afar, dozens of mountain peaks were dotted with palaces and pavilions. Spiritual energy surrounded the mountain like clouds, resembling a celestial paradise.

Leng Yu Yan brought Yang Chen to one of the peaks.

“Fellow Daoist Yang, this is Mingyue Peak where I cultivate. Just now, a disciple reported that the sect master has gone out and won’t return for a few days. If you don’t mind, you can stay here with me for a few days.”

“Sure!” Yang Chen readily agreed. “The scenery on your Mingyue Peak is pleasant, Fellow Daoist Leng. I’d love to appreciate it, why would I mind?”

Yang Chen looked around at the surroundings.

Leng Yu Yan began to introduce them to him.

The two had chatted a lot on the way and were now conversing merrily.

Yang Chen could see that Leng Yu Yan was probably an ice beauty who rarely smiled or spoke casually. But now, when talking to him, she would frequently cover her mouth with a light laugh, exquisitely beautiful.

[Ding! The host had a pleasant conversation with the female lead, Leng Yuyan. Leng Yuyan’s affection for the host has deepened. Plundering 200 points of Providence Luck from the Protagonist Ye Yun. The host has been awarded 200 VPs!”

Hmm?

Another 200 points.

These villain points really do come easily. But why can I only see the plundered Providence Luck, and not the appearance of the protagonist?

Yang Chen was wondering when a young man in a grey robe, carrying a basket of medicinal herbs, slowly walked up from the mountain trail.

“Yun’er!”

Seeing the young man, Leng Yu Yan called out to him and waved.

Yang Chen also looked over.

This should be the protagonist, Ye Yun. Only at the Third stage of the Qi Refining realm though.

Yet, his bearing was extraordinary.

Even when meeting Yang Chen’s gaze as a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, he didn’t seem to falter at all.

Good fellow, worthy of being the Son of Destiny.

Yang Chen could tell that Ye Yun was also staring at him intently, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Well, that’s understandable. After all, the beautiful Leng Yu Yan beside him was the destined female lead. While Ye Yun was the destined male lead.

He must see Leng Yu Yan as his exclusive love interest, not allowing any other man to approach her!

Ye Yun approached, and Leng Yu Yan introduced him: “Fellow Daoist Yang, this is Ye Yun, my nephew.”

“Your nephew?” Yang Chen was surprised.

Leng Yu Yan then explained, “Yun’er’s mother was my older sister who passed away when he was young. He has been by my side, his little aunt, growing up since then. I went to pick the Tri-Moonlight Flower this time to improve his physical constitution.”

“I see!” Yang Chen nodded and looked at Ye Yun with a smile.

“Hello Yun’er, I’m Yang Chen, your little aunt’s friend. You can call me Uncle Yang!”

Ye Yun frowned slightly but didn’t speak. He glanced at Yang Chen a few times before shifting his gaze to Leng Yu Yan.

“Little Aunt, I went to the back mountain today to gather some medicinal ingredients. I plan to refine some pills, so I’ll head back first.”

“Okay, you go ahead.”

After Ye Yun left, Leng Yu Yan apologized to Yang Chen, “Please don’t mind Fellow Daoist Yang, Yun’er doesn’t talk much and can be quite stubborn in personality.”

“No problem!”

Yang Chen waved his hand, appearing unconcerned.

He continued chatting with Leng Yu Yan and even told a few jokes. The usually reserved ice beauty laughed unrestrainedly, her ample figure swaying under the loose robe in delightful undulations.

Yang Chen stole a few glances, inwardly sighing at her exquisite curves, but maintained a gentlemanly demeanor by not staring.

Instead, he turned his head towards the room Ye Yun had entered, meeting his gaze.

Yang Chen was taken aback, sensing at least three things in Ye Yun’s eyes: hostility, warning, and disdain.

A wry smile crept across Yang Chen’s face. Although only at the Third stage of Qi Refining realm, Ye Yun’s soul strength was remarkably potent.

During this time, Yang Chen had learned many soul cultivation arts from Yan Jiu.

These arts mainly focused on the soul body, allowing him to keenly sense the strength of a soul.

With just one look, Yang Chen detected a hint of Ye Yun’s formidable soul power.

[Ding, detected a new Son of Destiny, Ye Yun!]

[Trait: A failed Void Refinement realm cultivator, his primordial spirit was reborn and fused with his predecessor’s soul, retaining the original memories and emotions!]

[Current Providence: 12,600 points!]

The system sounded, and Yang Chen raised his brows. It seemed this Ye Yun was the protagonist of a “Strongest Reincarnation” story!

He had read many such novels before, where a powerful cultivator’s soul is reborn into a trash’s body, fusing with the original soul and retaining the trash’s emotions.

This often lead to an obsessive possessiveness towards the person the trash had affections for.

Heh heh.

A nephew falling for his little aunt.

Interesting, interesting.

Well, to prevent this unacceptable relationship, I’ll have to become your uncle instead.

“Fellow Daoist Yang, you must also be a cultivator from the Northern Spiritual Realm, right?” Leng Yu Yan asked.

Yang Chen understood she was inquiring about which sect he was from.

However, he didn’t want to reveal his status as a Xuantian Sect’s Holy Son yet, as it would inevitably change the nature of their relationship.

“Indeed, I’m a cultivator from the Northern Spiritual Realm. But I’m just an ordinary itinerant cultivator.”

“An itinerant cultivator?” Leng Yu Yan was surprised.

She had thought Yang Chen was from a prestigious sect, as Nascent Soul realm cultivators at such a young age were usually nurtured by top-tier sects with Soul Transformation cultivators.

However, if he was an unconstrained itinerant cultivator, that was even better.

Leng Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. If Yang Chen was from a prestigious sect as a Nascent Soul realm elder, referring to each other as “Fellow Daoists” and conversing so intimately would be somewhat inappropriate due to the status disparity.

But as itinerant cultivators, they could interact freely without any reservations.

This fortuitous connection could then be maintained.

A few more smiles graced Leng Yu Yan’s exquisite face, leaving one entranced.

Meanwhile, in the room, Ye Yun stood by the window, his gaze heavy as he looked at them.

“Damn it! Where did this Nascent Soul realm cultivator crawl out from? Little Aunt rarely smiles, even when showing me care. But why is she all smitten when facing him?”

Ye Yun’s face was filled with rage and jealousy.

His current soul was a fusion of his previous self’s soul, emotions, and memories, more like an amalgamation of two souls.

Towards his little aunt, he harbored an almost obsessive sense of possession stemming from the depths of his soul.

Moreover, in his previous life as a Void Refinement realm cultivator, he was always alone, and had never experienced such care amidst the constant treachery and betrayals.

Reborn in this life, though only two months had passed, he had felt the heartfelt concern and love from his beautiful little aunt.

So his little aunt could only belong to him!

He would never allow his little aunt to interact with another man like this!

In the Qing Ling Sect, any man who dared to have designs on his little aunt would be his future target for slaughter!

Ye Yun clenched his fists tightly.

“If only my cultivation base hadn’t yet recovered, I would slay you right now! Hmph, a mere Nascent Soul realm cultivator, yet you dare to covet what is mine! No, I must restore my cultivation as soon as possible! Little Aunt’s behavior clearly shows she has developed feelings for that man. I absolutely cannot lose Little Aunt!”

Ye Yun’s eyes now held a deep, chilling look, vastly different from before.

He took out all the medicinal ingredients and began refining pills.

This body’s aptitude was too poor. After over a decade of cultivation, he had only reached the Third stage of the Qi Refining realm.

No wonder others called him a trash.

But just wait.

Nothing can obstruct me.

With these ingredients and my pill refinement skills, I can reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

Once I establish my foundation, I can start utilizing a portion of my soul power. At that time, this Yang Chen …

Dammit, I will refine him into a human pill to vent my resentment!

Otherwise, it will be difficult to quell the rage in my heart!
