An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad-Chapter 218

Chapter 218

“Ah! Wretched woman, wretched woman!” Xiao Dong roared inwardly.

Zhan Qiuyun’s words were like salt poured directly onto his wounds. However, he knew that in his current situation, he couldn’t show any dissatisfaction. Otherwise, if he provoked this old hag Zhan Qiuyun, his life would be in jeopardy.

“Just wait! When I master the Gluttonous Beast’s Devouring Heaven Art, the first thing I’ll do is kill Yang Chen. The second … is to pin you down and utterly humiliate you!”

Xiao Dong could only seethe in silent anger, repeatedly imagining tearing apart that pristine moon robe in his mind.

At that moment, the previously unchanging array light screen suddenly rippled. Then, two figures emerged from within. It was none other than Yang Chen and Chu Xi.

The moment Yang Chen stepped out, his gaze was immediately drawn to Zhan Qiuyun. Having just broken through, Zhan Qiuyun’s aura was even more radiant and sacred. That faint, lustrous moonlight, combined with her pristine moon robe, made her seem like a moon goddess descending to the mortal world.

“Congratulations, Martial Aunt, on breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm! Your elegance surpasses your previous self!”

Yang Chen cupped his hands in congratulations, though his gaze lingered shamelessly on Zhan Qiuyun.

In his mind, the scene from the cave where they had once stood bare before each other resurfaced. That snowy white skin was truly unforgettable.

Even when he had been infusing energy into Chu Xi during the past month, the memory of that scene would occasionally flash through his mind, causing him no small amount of distraction.

“Hmph!” Zhan Qiuyun noticed Yang Chen’s presumptuous gaze and snorted softly. However, she didn’t reprimand him. After all, this little scoundrel had already seen everything during their encounter in the cave. A few glances now didn’t make much difference.

Zhan Qiuyun’s gaze then fell on Chu Xi, her expression filled with surprise.

“Seventh stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!? In just one month, how did you advance so many levels?” Zhan Qiuyun was genuinely shocked.

After all, just a month ago, Chu Xi had only been at the first stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Master, I—” Chu Xi wanted to explain but, recalling the method behind her consecutive breakthroughs, her face flushed a delicate red. It was simply too embarrassing to put into words.

“Martial Aunt, Junior Sister Chu Xi naturally has her own fortuitous opportunities. There’s no need to press her further!” Yang Chen spoke up, coming to Chu Xi’s rescue.

Zhan Qiuyun rolled her beautiful eyes at him. She wasn’t foolish—she could easily guess that Chu Xi’s rapid advancements likely came from indulging in an intimate relationship with this scoundrel.

At that moment, a glowing talisman flew swiftly from the horizon. Zhan Qiuyun reached out with her jade-like hand, catching the talisman effortlessly.

She scanned it with her divine sense, then turned to Yang Chen and said, “It’s a message from the Holy Lord! She’s asking if you, little scoundrel, are safe! Hmph, you sure have quite the charm! You met the Holy Lord just once, and she’s already so concerned about you!”

Zhan Qiuyun’s tone carried a hint of teasing.

“The Holy Lord?” The image of a vague figure and a pair of jade-like hands flashed through Yang Chen’s mind. “Martial Aunt, don’t joke with me! Maybe because Qing’er hasn’t seen me in a while and kept pestering the Holy Lord to check in on me!”

“Tch!” Zhan Qiuyun pursed her lips dismissively. “Alright, it’s time for us to return to the Holy Land. Now that I’ve broken through to the Dao Integration Realm and awakened the Bright Moon Sacred Physique, it’s time to fight for certain things in the Holy Land!”

As she spoke, a gleam of ambitious determination flashed in Zhan Qiuyun’s eyes.

“Martial Aunt, you’re not planning to compete with my master for the position of Holy Maiden, are you?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel worried.

“Tch! A dignified Dao Integration Realm powerhouse vying for the title of Holy Maiden? How laughable! What I want—hmph—you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you! Your heart is just filled with thoughts about your master!” fгeewebnovёl.com

Zhan Qiuyun snorted coldly, then walked off to begin setting up a spatial teleportation array.

Yang Chen was left dumbfounded. Why had her tone suddenly turned so cold? All he did was casually mention his master.

Could it be … she was jealous?

***

Zhan Qiuyun had reached the Dao Integration Realm in cultivation, and her mastery of spatial power had clearly improved significantly. In just a moment, she had arranged a spatial array platform.

Light flickered as waves of spatial energy rippled outward.

Chu Xi cast a somewhat complicated glance at the cave behind her. She and Brother Chen had spent an entire month here, indulging in their intimate life as Dao companions. Leaving so suddenly left her with a hint of reluctance.

Moreover, the cave was still littered with the shredded dresses torn apart by Brother Chen. Every corner of the cave bore traces of her and Brother Chen.

Yang Chen noticed Chu Xi’s expression and added another stage of barriers at the entrance of the cave.

“Alright, Xi’er, no one will ever enter here again. When we have the time, we’ll return to relive the memories!”

“You’re so annoying, Brother Chen!” Chu Xi couldn’t help but feel shy and gave Yang Chen a glare before snuggling into his embrace.

“Xi’er?”

“Brother Chen?”

Standing nearby, Xiao Dong overheard Yang Chen’s affectionate address for his elder sister, and a wave of resentment surged in his heart.

“Chu Xi, you wretched woman! You despicable pair! I’ll kill you both someday!”

Spatial energy fluctuated once again. In the blink of an eye, the group appeared at the mountain gate of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land.

They had traversed hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant. Such an ability was truly terrifying. Zhan Qiuyun noticed the amazement in Yang Chen’s gaze and couldn’t help but feel a little proud.

“Now that I’ve reached the Dao Integration Realm, my control over spatial power has multiplied several times! If it weren’t for the Holy Land’s protective formation and the stability of its spatial structure, I could have directly transported us to Youyue Peak! Across the entirety of Central Continent, there are only a handful of individuals who surpass me in spatial mastery!”

“Amazing, Martial Aunt!” Yang Chen gave her a thumbs-up and then smiled, “In the future, this junior will have to learn much from you, Martial Aunt!”

“Hmph, you’ve been using that excuse ever since you stepped onto Youyue Peak. But have you ever actually sought guidance?” Zhan Qiuyun gave him a sideways glance.

Yang Chen replied helplessly, “I’ve wanted to learn the Dao of Space from you, Martial Aunt, but every time—”

“Shut up!”
