The Child of Destiny, Me, is Bound to the Villain System? - Chapter 3

"The Child of Destiny, Me, is Bound to the Villain System? - Chapter 3: Oh No, I've Become the Villain!"

Chapter 3: Oh No, I've Become the Villain!

"Ye'er..."

Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Ye, who was sitting motionlessly on the large rock. His heart ached, and he wanted to reach out and touch him but pulled his hand back due to guilt.

The Tang Family elder immediately stepped forward and loudly declared, "Young Master Lin, our young miss has come here today to dissolve your engagement. As long as you promise never to bother her again, when she achieves success in her cultivation, perhaps she could bring you into her sect as a miscellaneous disciple."

"..."

"Young Master Lin, accept reality. The once brilliant genius of Yu City has fallen. Everyone needs to find their own way to survive, don't they?"

"..."

"Lin Ye!"

After being ignored repeatedly, the Tang Family elder was on the verge of exploding.

I've said so much, and you're treating me like air? Still staring at the grass on the ground—what's so fascinating about it?!

Tang Xueqin frowned slightly, then slowly walked up to the carefree youth sitting on the rock. She had once admired Lin Ye for his genius aura, but he hadn't just ignored her—he had treated her coldly.

And now?

Can you still face me calmly?

With a light tap of her jade-like foot, Tang Xueqin leaped to Lin Ye's side, looking down at him, expecting to see some complicated expression on his face.

But after waiting for a long time, he continued to stare blankly at the ground.

"Lin Ye! This kind of behavior will only make me look down on you! Do you understand?!"

"..."

"You..."

Tang Xueqin was furious, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Clearly, Lin Ye's lack of response was unacceptable to her.

"Miss! This Lin Family brat is doing this on purpose! He still wants to 纠缠 (nag) you! Let me personally teach him a lesson..."

"What are you going to do?!"

Before the Tang Family elder could step forward to discipline Lin Ye, Lin Zhentian blocked his path. At this moment, Lin Zhentian's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a hint of madness. It was clear that if the elder took another step forward, he would strike.

Tang Xueqin ignored what her family elder was saying.

Because Lin Ye kept ignoring her, leaving her feeling humiliated, her self-esteem was hurt!

She raised her hand and slapped toward Lin Ye's face.

Boom!!!

At that moment, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from Lin Ye's body. The force blew Tang Xueqin's hair into disarray before she could even react.

Then, she saw a pair of blood-red eyes.

Immediately afterward, her abdomen felt a sharp pain, accompanied by a muffled thud. Tang Xueqin's delicate body flew backward and crashed into the backyard wall, shattering it.

This sudden scene left both Lin Zhentian and the Tang Family elder stunned.

Especially when they sensed the aura emanating from Lin Ye—it was unmistakably the presence of a Golden Core Realm cultivator!

"This... how is this possible?! Isn't he supposed to be a useless person?!"

The Tang Family elder's face was filled with shock.

No one had expected that the eldest son of the Lin Family had been pretending all along! Was he pretending to be useless just to make a shocking comeback?

To already be a Golden Core Realm cultivator without entering a major sect?

This... this... the Lin Family is about to soar!

As Lin Ye's father, Lin Zhentian's tiger-like eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined his son possessed such strength.

In Yu City, only the ancient ancestors of each family reached the Golden Core Realm—and those were on the verge of death.

Even if his son were a genius, without resources or techniques, how could he possibly break through to the Golden Core Realm?

Who could believe this?!

At this moment, Lin Ye wasn't paying attention to their expressions. His body had instinctively reacted to the sense of danger.

When he came to his senses, he saw Tang Xueqin lying amidst the rubble, blood continuously flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her breathing was faint, clearly indicating serious injuries. More importantly, he couldn't sense any trace of spiritual energy from her body.

Had he just shattered her dantian with one blow?!

What kind of move was that...

Lin Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He still had a very cool line prepared, something like "Do not look down on the poor youth," but this plot twist was cut off—by his own hands!

"Hmm? Isn't this Miss Tang? How did you end up flying over there?"

"..."

Tang Xueqin lay on the ground, spitting out blood and foam, her eyes rolled back. How could she possibly answer him?

"If you're not speaking, I'll take your silence as consent."

Bang!

Lin Ye jumped down from the rock and walked toward Lin Zhentian. "Father, I'm sorry for worrying you. I'm fine now."

"Good, good, good..."

Lin Zhentian patted Lin Ye's shoulder repeatedly, saying "good" three times. His tiger-like eyes were clearly red with emotion.

At this moment, Lin Ye noticed the Tang Family elder standing nearby and asked curiously, "Father, who's this old guy? He doesn't look like a good person to me."

"This..."

The Tang Family elder felt a chill run down his spine under Lin Ye's gaze. Lin Ye was a Golden Core Realm cultivator, while he was only at the peak of the Qi Foundation stage. What if he accidentally got killed?

He hurriedly explained, "Young Master Lin, I am a retainer of the Tang Family. Don't you remember? I even held you when you were little. You..."

Swoosh...

A sharp sound cut through the air as a streak of white light flashed. A bloody hole appeared in the Tang Family elder's forehead, and he collapsed to the ground with an expression of disbelief.

"Ye'er?"

Lin Zhentian was astonished by his son's act of killing. Before this, his son hadn't even killed a chicken—he was practically a pacifist! Occasionally, while sleeping, he would mutter things like, "I am the Child of Destiny; I must maintain good character."

Today, he first shattered Tang Xueqin's dantian with a punch, then killed someone without batting an eye?

It all felt so unreal.

"Ye'er, have you been 夺舍 (possessed)?!"

Thinking of the legends, Lin Zhentian's expression turned cautious.

"What are you thinking, Father? Possession? Stop watching so many dramas. He was a retainer of the Tang Family. Besides, before coming here, he probably didn't say anything nice about us. Such an idiot deserved to die..."

Lin Ye shrugged, completely indifferent to the elder's death.

"Oh! And there's still Miss Tang!"

With that, Lin Ye began walking toward Tang Xueqin's position, which startled Lin Zhentian.

"Ye'er! Don't move! You can't kill her!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye turned his head and looked at Lin Zhentian in confusion. "Father, if you don't pull out the roots, the weeds will grow back when the spring breeze blows! What if she learns Blue Silver 缠绕 (Entanglement)?!"

"..."

Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Ye's expression, as if he were teaching him a lesson, and wanted to smack him upside the head. But thinking of Tang Xueqin, he quickly explained, "This Tang Xueqin hasn't actually done anything wrong. The marriage proposal was initiated by this old man. What's Blue Silver Entanglement?

"Besides, she didn't say anything insulting earlier. Her crimes don't warrant death. Moreover, your mother liked her. She's already become useless. Just let her go."

"You decide, since you're my father. But, Dad, you should send someone to burn this Tang Family elder's body. Otherwise, if someone comes shouting, 'Resurrect, my love,' and he 诈尸 (rises from the dead), it'll be too scary!"

With that, Lin Ye turned and walked toward his room.

But the more he thought about it along the way, the more something felt off.

Oh no! I've become the villain!
