An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 88

“Your Highness, I …” Xu Qingxuan’s voice trembled, her cheeks turning a striking shade of red, with a hint of allure in her eyes.

“Junior Sister Xu, did you activate the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Technique?” Yang Chen asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Xu Qingxuan nodded slightly. That brief contact had stirred the Phoenix blood within her, prompting her to try the technique. The result was an overwhelming sensation coursing through her body, something she had never felt before.

“Your Highness, just now, I felt my true qi increase significantly! This technique is indeed extraordinary,” Xu Qingxuan said softly.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. Of course, she felt her true qi increase. His cultivation level was at the Sixth stage of the Nascent Soul, while she was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. A mere fraction of his true qi was enough for her to absorb for quite some time.

“Your Highness, shall we try again?” Xu Qingxuan mustered the courage to ask, her eyes filled with both eagerness and hope.

Looking into her expectant eyes, Yang Chen sighed, “Alright.”

Before he could make a move, Xu Qingxuan threw herself into his arms, wrapping her soft arms around his waist. Her body’s softness and the surprising sensation it brought took Yang Chen aback.

Indeed, she had a remarkably well-proportioned figure.

Yang Chen started to circulate the technique. Instantly, golden and blue lights emanated from their bodies, with a golden dragon and an ice phoenix shadow appearing and intertwining. The ice phoenix shadow, however, seemed less prominent, its color more faint, always beneath the golden dragon. Despite this, Xu Qingxuan’s aura visibly grew stronger.

“What a profound technique!” Yang Chen was shocked. This technique exceeded his understanding, making him feel it was almost perverse.

Considering Li Hao was the destined one, it made sense that this technique was designed for him and couldn’t be judged by common standards. Yang Chen, being far more advanced in cultivation, did not benefit much, as only a small portion of his true qi entered Xu Qingxuan, slightly refining her own. The effect was minimal for him but significant for her.

She clung to him tightly, either craving his true qi or his body. This woman now seemed somewhat infatuated.

At this moment, Li Hao arrived outside Yang Chen’s courtyard with a disciple from the State Preceptor’s Mansion. Seeing the golden and blue lights intertwined and the faint shadows of a dragon and phoenix, Li Hao’s face froze. The dragon and phoenix shadows intertwined indicated the practice of the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Technique. Could it be that Yang Chen and Xu Qingxuan were …?

“Ah! Bastard!” Li Hao growled, startling the disciple beside him who reached out to touch his shoulder.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

“Get lost!” Li Hao turned, his face twisted with rage, veins bulging like an enraged beast. The disciple backed away in fear. Li Hao stormed into the courtyard, fists clenched, eyes full of killing intent, his body trembling with anger. That bastard Yang Chen was embracing his fiancée!

“Damn it!” Li Hao cursed inwardly but felt a slight relief for arriving in time. If he had been a moment later, Xu Qingxuan would have been defiled by Yang Chen. Li Hao roared, “Yang Chen! Let go of Xu Qingxuan!” His voice thundered like a storm.

Yang Chen and Xu Qingxuan abruptly opened their eyes.

“Li Hao?”

[Ding! The host has embraced Xu Qingxuan. Witnessing this, Li Hao’s state of mind has been damaged, and 1000 points of his Providence Luck have been plundered. The host has gained 1000 VPs!]

Hearing the system’s voice, Yang Chen felt a mix of emotions.

Li Hao, oh Li Hao, why do you always appear at the most inconvenient moments, just to let me plunder away your Providence Luck?

“Li Hao, it’s not what you think!” Yang Chen quickly pushed Xu Qingxuan away and tried to explain anxiously. However, all he saw in Li Hao’s eyes was a burning desire to kill.

“Yang Chen, damn you! I’ll kill you someday, tear you to pieces!” Only Yang Chen, the great villain, knew how much Li Hao hated him. Thus, he felt indifferent to Li Hao’s curses. After all, Li Hao had been eavesdropping last night. But Xu Qingxuan’s reaction was different. She frowned and scolded, “Li Hao, how dare you be so disrespectful to His Holiness! Kneel and apologize immediately!”

Xu Qingxuan drew her sword, pointing it at Li Hao, ready to strike if he didn’t kneel.

“Qingxuan, I’m your fiancé! Our engagement still stands. How can you do this? Yang Chen is a scoundrel. Don’t be fooled by him!” Li Hao pleaded.

But hearing this, Xu Qingxuan’s face darkened with anger. “You dare speak disrespectfully! Take this!” She swung her sword at Li Hao, the blade gleaming with a fierce light.

“Damn it!” Li Hao growled, filled with sorrow. Xu Qingxuan was truly attacking him. He could only defend himself passively.

Bang!

The sword light dispersed, sending Li Hao stumbling back, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

“How is this possible?” Li Hao was stunned. His cultivation was at the Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. He had defeated all the young talents of the State Preceptor’s Mansion, including Xu Qingxuan. But now, he was defeated with one strike.

Xu Qingxuan stood proudly, her skirt fluttering without wind, looking like a peerless sword fairy. Her aura had reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. She looked at Li Hao with a mix of pride and disdain. After awakening her Ice Phoenix bloodline and refining a rare treasure from her mother, she had advanced to the Eighth stage, significantly enhancing her combat strength.

“Kneel and apologize to His Holiness! Or you won’t leave here today!” Xu Qingxuan commanded coldly, her eyes filled with anger and killing intent.

She had mustered the courage to embrace His Holiness and began practicing the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Technique, only to be interrupted by Li Hao. It was infuriating. Today, if Li Hao didn’t kneel and apologize, she wouldn’t let him off easily.
