"You Call Me the Villain? Your Slander Turns Out to Be True! - Chapter 2: Qin Luo Admits Guilt? Jackpot!"
Chapter 2: Qin Luo Admits Guilt? Jackpot!
The entire hall erupted in chaos. No one had expected Qin Luo to admit to the accusations.
"Wait, what?! I made that up—my dog Wangcai was killed and eaten by me! How could he admit to that?!"
"Qin Luo, did you really steal my undergarments? Does that mean you secretly like me?" A freckled "celestial maiden" blushed furiously.
Ye Chen froze, utterly shocked that Qin Luo had admitted to everything. Only he knew that all of this was slander.
"But if he's admitting it, then perfect! Qin Luo, you're dead meat!"
"Your position as Holy Son will be mine, Qin Luo. Rest assured, after you die, I'll visit your grave and piss on it twice to share my good fortune with you."
"You're right—it was me who killed those fellow disciples. I did it to cultivate the Swallowing Heaven Devil Art," Qin Luo said, his gaze falling on a junior disciple. Since he'd already admitted to the lies, he might as well go all in. Screw it—if the system didn't deliver, he'd just die again. At least this way, he'd go out with a bang instead of dying for something as trivial as a circumcision.
With this realization, Qin Luo felt an unexpected sense of relief. The junior disciple avoided his gaze, guiltily looking away. After all, the Swallowing Heaven Devil Art had been lost for thousands of years—even the Demon Sect didn't have it. Honestly, Qin Luo had just made it up on the spot.
[Congratulations, Host! You've bound yourself to the Super Villain System and received your starter pack: Dream Come True.]
[Acknowledging slander grants you a god-tier cultivation technique: Swallowing Heaven Devil Art.]
[Swallowing Heaven Devil Art: Swallow heaven and devour earth, absorb the essence of various special physiques to achieve the Chaos Body.]
"You're also correct—I'm not an orphan. My family is illustrious, ten thousand times stronger than your Tai Xu Holy Land!" Qin Luo began, but then paused. He almost claimed that his master had stolen him, but stopped himself. His master had passed down cultivation techniques, guided him in his practice, and even ventured deep into a forbidden forest to retrieve medicine for his injuries. When his master returned to the sect, he succumbed to his wounds.
His master had shown him great kindness—kindness he could never repay. But where was his junior sister? Qin Luo scanned the crowd but couldn't find her. If she were here, she wouldn't allow these people to slander her senior brother so viciously.
"I wasn't picked up by my master—I'm from the Demon Sect..." Just as he was about to claim he was a spy for the Demon Sect, the system chimed in again.
[Identity verification in progress. Bloodline search reveals the host is the long-lost prince of the Great Qin Empire. Envoys from the empire are already on their way to confirm your lineage.]
"Holy sh*t! This kind of plot twist exists? Damn, the system is awesome!"
"Is this real?" Qin Luo thought to himself, but before he could finish voicing his doubts, the system interrupted him.
[System detects unrealistic fantasies from the host. Explanation: The host truly is the long-lost prince of the Great Qin Empire. Proof includes an heirloom token and bloodline verification.]
In other words, this was real—not a dream. All the system did was help expose his true identity.
With a hint of regret, Qin Luo turned to another disciple. "You're right—the Tai Xu Bell was stolen by me."
"And you—you're correct too. It was me who infiltrated the Scripture Repository a year ago and stole the Four Symbols Sword Technique."
"And three years ago, I broke into the Treasure Vault and stole the Nine Revolutions Elixir."
"And eighteen years ago..." Qin Luo paused. Eighteen years ago, he hadn't even arrived in this world yet. He skipped over that part.
"And you—"
The more Qin Luo spoke, the wider Ye Chen's smirk grew—it was practically uncontrollable.
But at this moment, Liu Ruyan shouted, "Enough!"
Her gaze toward Qin Luo was filled with deep disappointment. "Senior Brother, haven't you caused enough trouble? Even if you don't want to admit guilt, you don't have to spout nonsense here."
"A year ago, when the Scripture Repository was burglarized, you weren't even in the holy land. How could you have stolen the Four Symbols Sword Technique?"
Her words stunned many. That's right—Qin Luo hadn't committed that crime. Why was he confessing to it? Could it be that he was actually innocent?
Ye Chen clenched his fists, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. Liu Ruyan was already part of his harem plans, and now she dared defend Qin Luo?
"Could it be that she still has lingering feelings for him?" Ye Chen muttered to himself.
"Qin Luo must die!"
"I, Ye Chen, declare it—he must die!"
[Acknowledging theft grants rewards: Tai Xu Bell (Lower Saint Rank), Four Symbols Sword Technique (Lower Saint Rank), Nine Revolutions Elixir (Lower Heaven Rank).]
And most importantly, the first two items were complete versions!
The Tai Xu Bell had been damaged in a great battle centuries ago, its power greatly diminished. The Four Symbols Sword Technique was originally incomplete, yet even its fragmented version was considered Lower Heaven Rank. Now, Qin Luo had obtained the full Saint Rank versions—absolutely incredible!
The Nine Revolutions Elixir was a treasure capable of boosting cultivation. How could a single word like "satisfying" describe this? It was beyond satisfying—it was exhilarating!
He turned to Liu Ruyan and smiled. "Junior Sister, didn't you just tell me to confess?"
"Now that I've confessed, you say I didn't do it. You're making things difficult for me."
"Tell me—should I confess or not? Should I admit to whatever crimes you think I've committed? Or should I just pretend I've admitted to them—is that okay?"
Liu Ruyan struggled to breathe as she met Qin Luo's unfamiliar gaze. Qin Luo had never spoken to her like this before.
"Senior Brother, you've changed. You've never spoken to me like this before. Senior Brother..."
"Stop!" Qin Luo cut her off. "Don't call me Senior Brother. Your Senior Brother died the moment you repeatedly chose to believe others' slander against him."
"This is the last time I'll call you Junior Sister. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"
Qin Luo was no longer the pathetic bootlicker of the past. What had that gotten him in the end? Dead, that's what!
He decisively severed ties with Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan stared at Qin Luo, feeling his unfamiliarity. She had been protected by him for years. Even if she were just a dog, she would feel some attachment. And she was human.
She felt heartache, as if something precious was slipping away, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't grasp it anymore.

[Profile: The host is the prince of the Great Qin Empire, an extremely prestigious individual in this world. The Tai Xu Holy Land? Crush them!]
"So does this mean I can act without restraint now?"
Having already prepared for death, Qin Luo felt completely unrestrained. Dare they kill him? Hah! The Great Qin Empire would make everyone here pay for his life. Totally worth it!
Turning his gaze to Ye Chen, Qin Luo's expression grew slightly serious. This bastard truly was a Child of Fortune.
"System, why is my fortune value black and Tier 0?"
[Ordinary people have blank fortune values. As for you...]
"Is it because I'm the chosen villain?"
[You're a transmigrator!]
