Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 46: Do you think it’s just you?

Regarding extraterrestrial demonic beings and void creatures, Following the typical, old-fashioned storyline, they are bound to appear eventually.

Then there will be all sorts of epic battles, with countless lives lost in the chaos.

Certain special individuals will play unique roles during that turbulent era.

Qian Xue and her mother are naturally among them!

“Aside from your daughter, what else have you brought?”

Ling Xue asked next.

“The Demon Master is wise!”

Qian Chen quickly presented the Spirit Pearl, offering it with both hands: “This is the Spirit Pearl, the treasured artifact of my Qianling Ancient Clan!”

“A pearl and a daughter!”

Ling Xue looked at Qian Chen and spoke indifferently, “So… you think these two things are enough to spare your Qianling Ancient Clan from the fires of war?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Chen’s heart sank.

So… Ling Xue wasn’t interested at all?  

This was the treasured artifact of the Qianling Ancient Clan!  

And his daughter, although not the most beautiful in the world, if the beauties of the world were ranked, her appearance would certainly be in the top ten.  

And Ling Xue didn’t care about any of this?  

He requested, “Demon Master, sending assassins before was a reckless and foolish decision on our part!”

Qian Chen immediately knelt: “Since the Demon Master is unharmed and the Demonic Sect has suffered no losses, please… forgive my clan’s ignorance!”

Upon hearing this, Ling Xue sneered, “If I had not come out unscathed, would you still be kneeling here with your precious daughter, begging for mercy?”

“If the assassination had succeeded, what would have happened?”

“The world would have been divided among the Demonic Sect’s enemies!”

“At that time, the Qianling Ancient Clan wouldn’t be coming to apologize; they would be coming to carve up the Demonic Sect.”

“So now, these words held no weight with Ling Xue.”

With Ling Xue’s words, Qian Chen’s heart sank further, leaving him speechless.

He could only kneel there, holding the fist-sized Spirit Pearl.

If Ling Xue refused to accept their apology, what would happen to the Qianling Ancient Clan?  

“If the assassination had succeeded, my Qianling Ancient Clan would have made no further moves against the Demonic Sect.” At this moment, Qian Xue spoke up.

As she spoke, she knelt as well, baring her knees to the ground: “My Qianling Ancient Clan has never involved itself in external conflicts, merely seeking self-preservation in this chaotic world!”

“The Demonic Sect once trampled on my Qianling Ancient Clan. Naturally, we hope to avoid such things happening again!”

“So… what we did was merely to ensure we wouldn’t return to an era of enslavement!”

“May I ask the Demon Master, was that… truly wrong?”

What she said was the truth.

The Qianling Ancient Clan had indeed acted only to protect itself.

They didn’t want to be stepped on again.

Seated at the top, Ling Xue smiled faintly: “Good and evil, right and wrong, there is no absolute definition!”

“From your perspective, you acted to protect yourselves—there’s nothing wrong with that!”

“And from my perspective, if you try to harm my Demonic Sect, and I in turn wipe out your entire Qianling Ancient Clan—am I wrong?”

As he spoke, Ling Xue’s blood-red eyes gazed down at Qian Xue.

Qian Xue immediately lowered her head.

Yes, they weren’t wrong for seeking self-preservation.  

But they had wronged Ling Xue, and if he retaliated, he wouldn’t be wrong either.  

“Now… since we sincerely admit our guilt, can’t the Demon Master guide everything in a better direction?” Qian Xue continued, her head still bowed: “Must we fight to the death for the Demon Master to be satisfied? Isn’t peace the lowest-cost form of warfare?”

“A better direction? Heh!”

Ling Xue laughed, stood up, and walked down toward Qian Xue step by step.

Then, he bent down, lifted her delicate, snow-white chin with his hand, and said, “You think just you? Just your Qianling Ancient Clan’s little pearl counts as a better direction for me?” Upon hearing this, Qian Xue fell silent.

She knew her appearance was considered peerless, but she also knew that someone as high and mighty as the Demon Master might not care for her at all.

So, even though Ling Xue’s words carried a sting, she could not argue.

“If I wanted you, if I wanted your Qianling Ancient Clan’s Spirit Pearl, couldn’t I just flatten the entire clan and take them?” Ling Xue continued.

If he truly wanted Qian Xue or the Spirit Pearl, he could simply destroy the Qianling Ancient Clan and take them by force.

Upon hearing Ling Xue’s words, both Qian Chen and Qian Xue’s hearts sank.

So… he intended to act against the Qianling Ancient Clan?  

Was there truly no room for negotiation?  

“Demon Master… if there are any other conditions, my clan is willing to meet them as well!” With Ling Xue’s hand still under her chin, Qian Xue said, “We only ask that you spare the Qianling Ancient Clan!”

“Hiss… now that’s something I like to hear!”

Ling Xue smiled lightly, released Qian Xue, and then began pondering: “Let me think, what value could your Qianling Ancient Clan still hold for me…”

Qian Xue and Qian Chen said nothing, only kneeling silently in place, hoping Ling Xue could indeed think of something.

That way, he might just spare the Qianling Ancient Clan.

“Ah, right!”

At that moment, a slight smirk curled at the corner of Ling Xue’s mouth, his blood-red eyes fixed on Qian Xue: “You have an ancient lamp inside you, don’t you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Chen’s expression drastically changed!

How could this be possible?  

No one knew about this except him and his wife.  

How could Ling Xue know?  

Indeed, his daughter had an ancient lamp within her!  

It was something left behind by his wife.  

That ancient lamp was a mysterious holy relic of extraterrestrial demonic beings!  

He didn’t know much about its origins.  

But his wife had once said that the lamp could not only save lives in critical moments but also… command an incredibly terrifying army of demonic creatures in a state of slumber!
