Villain: I Can See Destiny

32: Chapter 32 Xia Yanran Returns to Being the Daughter of Destiny?Three days had passed since Emperor Lin Shu’s ascension to the throne, and Young Master Xiao Zimo had long since returned to the Xiao Clan.

Upon returning to the Xiao Clan, he couldn’t wait to hole up in his grand hall and begin researching the Immortal Artifact, the heavenly dao bead.

He had even forgotten to tease Nangong Yi and his beautiful young maidservants.

Young Master Xiao Zimo studied it for several days and ultimately reached the conclusion that this bead was actually just an ordinary bead...

”Could it be that what Luo Cang gave me is a fake?” he couldn’t help but think to himself.

Young Master Xiao Zimo was baffled: ”Does it require a Child of Destiny to use it?”

That shouldn’t be the case; his own level of Luck had already surpassed that of most Children of Destiny.

Moreover, he possessed the Physique of the Heavenly Dao, which existed only in legends; not even in the Immortal Realm could there be a Physique more formidable than his.

This Physique was born close to the Dao and could be said to be the favored son of the Heavenly Dao. It possessed the characteristics of all Physiques in the world; one could say that possessing it meant possessing all the Physiques in the world.

Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be able to exist at all, yet it had appeared on Young Master Xiao Zimo.

Despite possessing the Physique of the Heavenly Dao, he was not favored by the Luck of the Heavenly Dao at all, as if he were a fake son.

Combining this with his current situation, Young Master Xiao Zimo arrived at an unfavorable conclusion: his Physique of the Heavenly Dao was very likely artificial and not recognized by the Heavenly Dao at all.

”Young Master, are you there?”

Just as Young Master Xiao Zimo was deep in thought, he heard a soft female voice from outside the hall. Looking up, he saw Xia Yanran and Nangong Yi approaching hand in hand.

The heavenly dao bead in his hand began to glow slightly. Seeing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo felt a surge of joy and said to Xia Yanran, ”Yanran, come here for a moment.”

Xia Yanran thought that because they hadn’t seen each other for many days, the Young Master missed her, so she happily trotted over.

Arriving before Young Master Xiao Zimo, before she could even steady herself, a bead was shoved into her hand.

Immediately after, she heard the Young Master say, ”Yanran, try channeling your magic power to activate this bead and see what it does.”

Although Xia Yanran was a bit confused, seeing the Young Master’s expectant gaze, she immediately complied.

She would do anything that could make the Young Master happy.

She calmed her heart and injected her magic power into the heavenly dao bead. An aura of the Late Stage of the King Realm began to spread from her.

Seeing the aura on Xia Yanran, Young Master Xiao Zimo was very gratified.

After the Cleansing Marrow Pool improved her Aptitude, her progress in just one short month was so significant, though it had a lot to do with her accumulation over time.

However, at her age and with her cultivation level, she could be considered top-tier even among second-rate forces in the Upper Realm.

Suddenly, Young Master Xiao Zimo’s expression became strange; he actually saw Xia Yanran’s Luck slowly increasing!

Could this heavenly dao bead re-condense Luck? Thinking of this, Young Master Xiao Zimo became quite excited; wasn’t this a Divine Artifact for harvesting leeks?

Under Young Master Xiao Zimo’s expectant gaze, Xia Yanran’s Luck finally returned to its original size.

However, Young Master Xiao Zimo was still a bit disappointed. Although the quantity of Xia Yanran’s Luck had returned, the quality had not changed; it was still blue. She was, after all, still an unqualified leek.

Young Master Xiao Zimo lowered his head in thought, his handsome brows furrowed slightly. He was now considering whether he should return Xia Yanran’s Luck.

Firstly, he couldn’t use the heavenly dao bead.

Secondly, Xia Yanran had already proven her loyalty.

Thirdly, given Young Master Xiao Zimo’s current Realm, even if he returned the Luck to her, his cultivation wouldn’t drop by much.

Just as Young Master Xiao Zimo was indecisive, Xia Yanran, who had been activating the heavenly dao bead, opened her eyes.

”How is it, Yanran? Do you know what this bead does?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo asked hurriedly, his voice sounding a bit impatient.

Xia Yanran leaned her small mouth to Young Master Xiao Zimo’s ear and whispered softly: ”Young Master, tell me later, ’I haven’t seen you for a long time, I miss you so much,’ and Young Miss Nangong will get jealous!”

Young Master Xiao Zimo looked at Xia Yanran, who was smiling with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and said half-believingly: ”Long time no see, Yanran, I’ve missed you so much these days!”

At the same time, he thought to himself: ”You little girl, if you dare to tease this Young Master, just wait until I spank you later!”

As Young Master Xiao Zimo spoke, his peripheral vision secretly looked at Nangong Yi behind Xia Yanran.

He saw Nangong Yi’s exquisite brows furrowed slightly; although he couldn’t see her expression clearly under her black veil, he knew she must be unhappy.

”Could it be that it can predict the future?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo said with some surprise.

”Yes, accurately speaking, it can deduce the future.” Xia Yanran nodded and said.

”You aren’t lying to me, are you?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo asked suspiciously. After all, wouldn’t any woman who liked him get jealous seeing his behavior just now? Even an ice beauty like Nangong Yi, who usually didn’t show her feelings on her face, would be the same.

Furthermore, something like deducing the future was simply too inconceivable.

”Young Master, do you not trust me?”

Xia Yanran pouted her cherry lips, looking a bit aggrieved.

Seeing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo felt that what the little maidservant said was likely the truth; they hadn’t been together for that long, and her courage shouldn’t be bold enough to this extent yet.

”I believe you, how could I not trust you?” Young Master Xiao Zimo smiled and patted her head.

Afterward, he naturally took back the heavenly dao bead.

He couldn’t rest easy leaving such a Heaven-Defying item for Xia Yanran to use. If she were to backstab him, it would be too late to cry.

Even if Xia Yanran’s Luck had already helped prove her loyalty, who could guarantee that she wouldn’t change her heart in the future?

Moreover, Young Master Xiao Zimo already had a perfect candidate in mind, and that was Yun Qing!

Not only was Yun Qing also a Child of Destiny, but she would never betray him. Indeed, it was safer to use a maidservant enslaved by the Slave Creation Technique.

Who knows what kind of surprises she might be able to create for him using the heavenly dao bead? For example, the position of Young Clan Chief of the Yun Clan...

Young Master Xiao Zimo suddenly thought, since this heavenly dao bead was so Heaven-Defying, why was Luo Cang so easy to deal with?

A moment later, Young Master Xiao Zimo figured it out. No wonder Luo Cang suddenly said he wanted to pledge loyalty to him that day; now that he thought about it, that must have been the future deduced by the heavenly dao bead.

Thinking about it carefully, the other party’s performance could be considered flawless. If it weren’t for the fact that he could judge whether others had truly submitted through Luck, perhaps Luo Cang’s schemes might have succeeded in the end.

Luo Cang’s ability to achieve Rebirth might also be related to this bead. Thinking of this, Young Master Xiao Zimo felt a lingering fear. If this bead were obtained by a protagonist in the Late Stage, coupled with its ability to conceal Luck, he might really be plotted against and killed.

Young Master Xiao Zimo stared at the heavenly dao bead in his hand, his expression uncertain.

To prevent any accidents, he was considering whether he should simply destroy this Immortal Bead.

Suddenly, Young Master Xiao Zimo smiled, as if he had figured something out.

”When did I become so timid? Even if some accident really occurred, with the Thirteenth Ancestor’s near-Immortal strength, even in this vast Upper Realm, no one could harm me in the slightest, right?”

”Young Master, are you alright?”

Nangong Yi spoke up, her clear and cold voice carrying obvious concern.

”Yes, yes, Young Master, are you okay?” Xia Yanran also chimed in.

Just now, after the Young Master took back the bead, he kept staring at it in a daze, his expression changing constantly, and finally, he suddenly laughed again, as if he were possessed; it was quite creepy.

Hearing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

His behavior just now was indeed a bit worrying.

”I was indeed thinking about some unpleasant things just now, but I’m fine now,” Young Master Xiao Zimo explained.

Then, changing the subject, Young Master Xiao Zimo gave a wicked smile, walked forward, and pulled Nangong Yi into his arms: ”Xiao Yi, were you jealous just now?”
