An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad - Chapter 89

Chapter 89

The sword gleams were sharp, filled with killing intent.

She now had the cultivation of the 8th stage of Foundation Establishment realm.

Coupled with the Ice Phoenix bloodline blessing, her sword aura carried an astonishing chill.

Li Hao himself had eavesdropped last night, causing him to cough up blood and faint from anger.

At this moment, he had not fully recovered yet.

He could barely block a few moves.

Before coughing up blood again and retreating.

“Li Hao, is this the extent of your ability? Didn’t you say you were a heaven-blessed genius, looking down on the younger generation of the State Precept’s Manor? With just this level of skill, you dare be disrespectful to the Holy Son! Kneel down and apologize to the Holy Son immediately!”

Xu Qingxuan swung her sword while mocking him.

The last time, Li Hao had defeated all the younger generation of the State Precept’s Manor.

And insulted them.

She had always remembered that.

Now was the perfect opportunity to take revenge.

And redeem her previous humiliation.

“Damn it!” Li Hao’s face turned purple-green.

His heart raged to the point of coughing up blood.

He was of the Imperial Bloodline!

Destined to rule the world and sweep across the wilderness!

Build an eternal dynasty and become the Eternal Emperor!

Yet now, he was being suppressed by his own fiancée!

Even forced to kneel and apologize to his most hated enemy!

Li Hao glared at Yang Chen with murderous intent.

He would rather die than kneel before Yang Chen!

If it weren’t for this bastard last night, doing those shameful acts with his mother in the palace … which he overheard.

Leaving him enraged, with erratic qi flow, and internal injuries.

Even if he was no match for Xu Qingxuan today, he wouldn’t be in such a wretched state.

“Damn it!”

Li Hao let out a hoarse growl.

His eyes bloodshot red.

But Xu Qingxuan showed no mercy, taking advantage of his distraction to slash at Li Hao’s legs.

This strike was unavoidable for Li Hao.

If hit, he would lose his legs.

Even Yang Chen looked surprised.

Never expecting the vicious Xu Qingxuan to go for Li Hao’s legs directly.

Bang!

A blue light emanated from Li Hao’s body.

The sword gleamed and only caused ripples upon impact.

“Holy Son?”

Xu Qingxuan stopped, puzzled.

Not understanding why the Holy Son would intervene, after Li Hao insulted and refused to apologize to him.

“Enough, Junior Sister Xu! You went too far!”

Yang Chen walked over slowly, saying in a deep voice.

“But Holy Son, Li Hao was too arrogant! Disrespecting you and insulting you!”

Xu Qingxuan’s anger had not subsided.

But Yang Chen’s next words left her stunned.

“How Haoe’r speaks to me is none of your concern! He is my stepson after all, this is a family matter!”

“What?! Stepson??”

Xu Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes widened.

In an instant, she recalled some recent rumors.

That the Consort, the Queen Dowager, had that kind of relationship with the Holy Son.

Which was why Li Hao could become the Crown Prince.

Originally, she didn’t believe it. But now, the Holy Son admitted Li Hao was his stepson himself. Virtually confirming his relationship with the Queen Dowager.

Xu Qingxuan felt rather unsettled. She had seen the Queen Dowager before.

She was indeed very beautiful and graceful, but she was already hundreds of years old.

And also Li Hao’s mother.

Yet the Holy Son ignored her youthful beauty to choose a mature woman instead.

Alas.

What was the Holy Son thinking?

“Yang Chen, you bastard! What did you say? Who is your stepson? Shut your dog mouth, you son of a bitch!”

Upon hearing Yang Chen call him a stepson, Li Hao raged.

Recalling again last night’s scene.

That sobbing, melodious, monotonous yet all-encompassing melodies of human emotion.

A nightmare he could never erase from his mind.

Murderous intent flashed in Li Hao’s eyes.

His face turned a ghastly green.

If he had the strength, he would rip out Yang Chen’s tongue piece by piece.

The hateful bastard!

“Li Hao!”

Yang Chen remained calm, approaching with a loving smile.

“Li Hao, your mother must have told you! We have become Dao companions! So I really am your stepfather! This was something you’d find out sooner or later! You’re an adult now, you should understand your mother!”

Yang Chen sighed, continuing: “Your mother suffered from Yin Demon Qi, and my constitution can help remove it! Plus, your mother cultivated alone for hundreds of years, she needs companionship! But rest assured Li Hao, your step-father will treat your mother well! And I’ll treat you like my own birth son too! Here, Li Hao, take this healing pill! Otherwise your mother will worry seeing you injured, and blame me for not taking care of you!”

Yang Chen took out a white pill and handed it to Li Hao.

But his self-professed touching fatherly speech did not move Li Hao at all.

Instead, Li Hao’s murderous eyes seemed to drown Yang Chen.

His face turning a sickly purple-green hue.

Grotesquely distorted.

[Ding! Host claimed to be Li Hao’s stepfather, looked down and repeatedly humiliated him. Li Hao’s spirit has collapsed, host has plundered 1000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao, and has gained 1000 VPs!]

Snickering at the system message, a smirk crept across Yang Chen’s face.

Another 1000 VPs earned. Li Hao, ah Li Hao. Being your stepfather is truly exhilarating.

“Li Hao, quickly take this pill! You suffered serious injuries just now!”

Yang Chen urged again with concern.

Fully immersed in the stepfather role.

“Get lost you bastard!”

Li Hao bellowed furiously, veins bulging.

Xu Qingxuan angrily berated from the side: “Li Hao, you’re so shameless! If not for your mother’s sake, why would the Holy Son bother with you?”

“Junior Sister, do not speak nonsense!”

Yang Chen rebuked sternly, “Are you trying to drive a wedge between a father and son’s relationship? Actually, putting Ruo’er aside, I admire Li Hao too!”

With that, Yang Chen pointed at Li Hao.

The Devil Mountain Supressing World Formation, containing sealing and suppressing forces manifested. Of course, Yang Chen would not use too much power.

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator’s small body could not withstand it.

Accidentally killing him would be such a pity.

He had to be calculative. This brat still had over ten thousand points of Providence Luck.

It was not his time to die yet.

Though Yang Chen only pointed lightly, Li Hao was frozen in place, immobilized.

Then with a flick of his finger, the white pill entered Li Hao’s mouth.

“Yang Chen, what did you do to me? Release me now!” Li Hao growled lowly.

Feeling his body bound, unable to move at all.

“Li Hao, your step-father has temporarily placed a seal on your body! This pill can heal your injuries, once you’ve recovered, you’ll be free to move!”
