I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

The witch’s lies deceived the peopleReturning to Yaochi Immortal Palace, Xiao Fan released Ah Kun.

”Master.” Ah Kun only felt the world spin and stars shift, as a new world unfolded before him.

”Alright, from now on, you’ll hang out with Wang Cai.” Xiao Fan pointed to Wang Cai, who was lie at the door guarding it.

”Oh, and your body is too big, it takes up too much space. Shrink yourself down a bit.”

”Just turn into the size of a regular rooster.”

Ah Kun said, ”Okay, no problem.”

While saying this, he felt a bit wronged in his heart. A Kunpeng is supposed to soar with the wind, spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Yet he had to live like a rooster and even learn from a guard dog. Now it was a case of chickens and dogs living together, and chicken-stealing dogs.

”Newbie, over here.”

”I’ll teach you the rules.”

Wang Cai saw that he actually had a scruffy bird as a companion.

He immediately put on the air of a big brother, even though Ah Kun’s cultivation was higher than his, Wang Cai wasn’t afraid.

Because he felt that he was Xiao Fan’s most obedient lackey; this was called being favored.

Didn’t you see that the Master even gave me separate tasks before? That’s called trust!

Ah Kun, being new and unfamiliar with the place, was also intimidated by Wang Cai’s condescending attitude. He immediately flapped his wings and scurried over, respectfully saying, ”Dog Brother, what is your esteemed name?”

Wang Cai didn’t get up, still lying on the ground, and lazily opened one eye slightly, the other eye half-closed.

After glancing at Ah Kun, he closed his eyes again, only to be heard saying, ”Master bestowed upon me the name Wang Cai. What is your name?”

”I am a Kunpeng. Master calls me Ah Kun. I wonder if that counts as a name?”

”You haven’t shed your Yao Beast species. Tsk tsk tsk, you haven’t been named by Master, which means you’re not yet trusted by Master. Listen to Dog Brother, Dog Brother will make you soar.”

Ah Kun, seeing his behavior, so knowledgeable of the rules, truly thought that Xiao Fan treated him as a trusted lackey.

He immediately took out a few Medicinal Pills from his inventory and more than ten Immortal Plants, gifting them to Wang Cai.

”I just arrived and didn’t bring any gifts, Dog Brother, please accept these things.”

Wang Cai now opened both eyes, slightly parted his mouth, and a suction force erupted, drawing the items to his mouth, sniffing them carefully.

A rare smile appeared on his dog’s head.

”You, young man, have a lot of room for improvement. I think highly of you.”

”There’s still a spot by the door. You can squat down there.”

”Ah, thank you for the guidance, Dog Brother.”

After speaking, he actually did as Wang Cai said, squatting down on the other side of the door.

Xiao Fan was a bit speechless. He seemed to have never taught Wang Cai such things. How did he acquire such a seasoned professional’s demeanor?

Or was he just naturally so dog-like?

Forget it.

Xiao Fan felt he couldn’t bear to watch and walked directly back to his courtyard.

Upon returning to his residence, he released Miao Xiaoqing. He had kept her hidden before and forgotten to let her go.

”Master.” As soon as Miao Xiaoqing saw Xiao Fan, she immediately greeted him with a smile, showing enthusiasm, afraid that if she didn’t flatter him hard enough, he would go back on his promise to let her be a Saint.

”Mm.” Xiao Fan merely nodded.

He planned to send her back, but then thought about the promise he had given Miao Xiaoqing before. He said, ”I will write a letter for you to take back to Ouyang Ke.”

”He will naturally give up the Saint position and clear any obstacles for you.”

”Also, here are these things for you.”

He then took out tens of billions of unused Immortal Stones from the ”Wealth” brocade pouch and tossed them to her.

Actually, the eighty-eight thousand-mile-long Immortal Veins Xiao Fan had given her before were enough for her Cultivation, but if she went out to buy things, she would still need Immortal Stones.

He also allocated some Medicinal Pills, Immortal Artifacts, and techniques to her. After all, having obtained the Saint’s Legacy, his current wealth alone surpassed the combined wealth of all forces in the entire Eternal Immortal Domain.

It was a small fortune.

As his pet cat, it was normal for her to have good treatment, otherwise, what if she shed fur again?

Afterward, Xiao Fan took out a Jade Slip and carved Divine Runes into it, transmitting his thoughts.

Miao Xiaoqing looked at the massive amount of Immortal Stones and Medicinal Pills in her hand, as well as thousands of Sharp Weapons. She only felt her breathing quicken; the happiness came too suddenly.

This...

She wept tears of joy, her eyes glistening. Fortunately, heaven had taken pity on her, and she had finally licked her way to success.

Her gaze towards Xiao Fan also changed from flattery and fawning to softness and tenderness.

She had originally thought that Xiao Fan would threaten and use her, then ruthlessly abandon her once she lost her utility, so these days she had lived with extreme trepidation, fearing Xiao Fan’s disgust towards her.

She now had her answer: Lick! What’s wrong with being a ’licking cat’? Didn’t she have everything now?

After carving the Divine Runes, Xiao Fan handed her the Jade Slip, but found her eyes somewhat blurry with tears, which surprised him.

”Why are you crying?” Xiao Fan asked, puzzled. Although he liked petting cats, he hadn’t abused the cat-girl, had he?

”Nothing, I’m just too happy.” Miao Xiaoqing said happily.

Xiao Fan was baffled. Women were all so unreasonable, and cat-girls were no exception.

”Alright, your mission is complete. Return to the Saint Institute as soon as possible. If there’s any disturbance at the Saint Institute, remember to report it to me.” Xiao Fan said, waving his hand.

Miao Xiaoqing, however, did not move. Instead, she walked towards Xiao Fan, actively embraced him, and offered a fragrant kiss.

This made Xiao Fan a bit stunned, ”Ah?!”

I’ve been pushed back by a cat-girl!?

”What are you doing?” Xiao Fan’s right hand tightly embraced her slender waist, a delicate grip, warm and smooth, while his left hand reached down to grasp her cat tail.

”Master, you are so good to your humble servant. If I don’t give something in return, I won’t feel at ease keeping these things.”

Her delicate face was flushed, her brows held shyness, and her pair of nimble, beautiful eyes were filled with the breeze of spring and deep affection, yet she dared not look directly at Xiao Fan, captivating and alluring.

A pair of graceful cat ears even emerged from her dark, beautiful hair, standing straight up, constantly twitching, a premonition of being overwhelmed by emotion.

This wasn’t all; her next sentence was an even more direct trump card: ”Master, there are some parts of those two techniques you taught me that I don’t quite understand. Can you teach me?”

Her voice was sweet, like the chirping of swallows and orioles.

Xiao Fan, full of youthful vigor, could not endure this ’bird’s Qi’.

He said fiercely:

”Damn it, you demoness, you bewitch people with your words.”

”Die!”

Fifteen days later, the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.

Miao Xiaoqing left with a flushed face, like a beautiful eye containing a spring peach, a delicate, rosy face, with the spring breeze leaving traces of charm on her face, like a flower in full bloom.

He also did not neglect his Cultivation, working diligently.

He gradually achieved a Breakthrough, arduously advancing from the Early Stage Profound Immortal to the Middle Stage Profound Immortal Realm.

Feeling the surging magical power within his body, Xiao Fan clenched his fists and sighed, ”The Middle Stage Profound Immortal is truly powerful. With my current strength, I could probably crush Ah Kun with just one finger, right?”

To verify this conjecture, he went to find Ah Kun to test it out.

He walked out of the door, full of anticipation.

Ten breaths later, he walked back in, looking disappointed.

”Still a little short on strength.”

”It still takes one hand to suppress him. I need to work harder.”

He still had to Cultivate diligently!

”Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength still has room for improvement, and can advance further.”

Therefore, Xiao Fan continued to Cultivate.

Outside the door, Ah Kun shivered.

Just now, Xiao Fan had him as a sparring partner.

Ah Kun outwardly said he couldn’t win, but inwardly he was rubbing his fists, always feeling that his strength was not weak.

The reason he was captured was definitely because of that net.

My strength is very strong!!

Xiao Fan wanted to see how strong he was, so he told Ah Kun to unleash his full strength and that he wouldn’t be blamed for any problems.

After repeatedly declining, he reluctantly stepped forward.

This was a good opportunity to vent. This time, even if I make him cry, he wouldn’t dare do anything, he himself said to let me fight freely.

As soon as he took up his stance, Ah Kun had just revealed his massive body when he saw a big slap coming, and then he passed out.

He was carried back by Wang Cai.

Wang Cai, through contact over the past few days, knew that Ah Kun was very unconvinced by his shivering appearance.

”Do you feel that serving as Master’s subordinate is beneath you?” Wang Cai said.

”No, no such thing.” Ah Kun shook his head, denying it.

Wang Cai didn’t press, only saying, ”You can never estimate Master’s strength.”

”I always feel very fortunate to have been chosen by Master, otherwise I would still be in Hell, unable to even eat a single hair.”

Ah Kun seemed to have heard something significant and began to inquire in detail.

Wang Cai, seeing that he was quite sensible and knew to show filial respect from the start, began to tell him...

...................

The location of Yaochi Immortal Palace, with its graceful orchids and fragrant irises, emanated a fragrance that wafted for thousands of miles.

Immortal Cranes danced in the sky, Immortal Qi drifted on the ground, and at times, Fairies gracefully performed dances with clouds, while multicolored clouds and five elements converged towards the sun.

Amidst it, the ethereal Immortal music resonated without end, and flowing Dao Rhymes intertwined with the dance of colorful cloud butterflies.

At the mountain gate of Yaochi Immortal Palace, the eight-thousand-zhang-tall Treasure Latticed Star Gate stood magnificent and majestic, with Dragons and Phoenixes presenting auspiciousness upon its four towering stone pillars.

It could be described as: Flying Dragons coiling around pillars playing with luminous pearls, and twin Phoenixes on embroidered screens singing to the dawn.

Through the Treasure Latticed Star Gate, one could see the pavilions and terraces within Yaochi Immortal Palace, arranged in close succession.

Vermilion walls, misty pavilions, and pervasive colorful light filled the area, with Immortal Qi permeating countless auspicious shadows.

The bluestone road was wide and naturally formed, resembling the shell of a Black Tortoise Divine Beast.

Viewed from afar, it was unfathomably immortal.

A heavenly Realm, nothing more.

Outside Yaochi Immortal Palace, there was a bustling crowd, all women.

Yaochi Immortal Palace only recruited female Disciples, so all the people who came here were younger female Cultivators, at most accompanied by some servants.

”Young Miss, if you join Yaochi Immortal Palace, you will have a reliance, and our Zhou family will no longer have to endure the insolence of the Shangguan family.” A middle-aged beautiful woman said to a young girl.

The young girl’s eyes held seriousness as she nodded and said, ”I understand.”

...

”Elder Sister, I will join Yaochi Immortal Palace and bring back Medicinal Pills for your injuries.”

”Cough, cough~ Elder Sister believes you can do it.”

...

Outside the Treasure Latticed Star Gate, over a thousand Disciples and Elders of Yaochi Immortal Palace presided over the Disciple recruitment ceremony.

Today was the day Yaochi Immortal Palace recruited Disciples, and outside the gate, there was already a sea of people, all female Cultivators, including young ladies and princesses from various Imperial Dynasties and aristocratic families, or Loose Cultivators with extraordinary talents.

A beautiful Female Elder said:

”Greetings to all Fellow Daoists who have traveled far to participate in the Disciple recruitment assessment of our Yaochi Immortal Palace. Here, I express my gratitude to all of you.”

”Let’s skip the pleasantries. I will now explain the rules for this Disciple assessment.”

”First: The minimum entry requirement for recruiting Disciples is the Human Immortal Realm, with the exception of special Physiques.”

”Second: Our assessment has ten stages, covering external appearance, Physique, Spiritual Root, Comprehension Ability, and Heart-Nature. This is a comprehensive assessment.”

”Third: For the entrance assessment, you only need to pass the first three stages. The further the stages, the more difficult they become, but the higher your starting point will be if you can pass them.”

”Those who pass all ten stages can directly be promoted to Core Disciple. As for the identity and status of a Core Disciple, let me just say that above a Core Disciple is a Personal Disciple of the Palace Lord, one in ten thousand.”

”This time, the Palace Lord will also personally attend and observe the Disciple recruitment ceremony. All of you, please perform well. If you are favored by the Palace Lord, you will soar to great heights.”

The Female Elder said softly, her voice carrying magical power clearly into everyone’s ears.

Palace Lord of the Immortal Palace!

Many female Cultivators felt their hearts surge upon hearing this, their beautiful eyes filled with longing.

They were so excited because they had heard that the Palace Lord of Yaochi Immortal Palace had defeated the Demon Emperor with one sword and repelled the attack of the Extraterrestrial Demons.

Her strength was unparalleled!

If they could gain the favor of the Palace Lord, it would not be a problem to walk unhindered in the Eternal Immortal Domain in the future.
