An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 64

After burying Ye Yun, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan decided to explore the bustling capital, enjoying its worldly charms. Perhaps it was because Yang Chen had casually mentioned having a child, but Leng Yuyan brought it up every night for seven days. Yang Chen did his best to meet her wishes.

On their stroll through Lie Du city, Leng Yuyan’s radiant beauty attracted many admiring glances. Her presence in an elegant palace dress, like an ethereal fairy descending to the mortal world, drew much attention. After enduring several rounds of harassment from male cultivators, she donned a veil to conceal her stunning face.

Outside the State Preceptor’s Mansion.

“Brother Chen, why are we here?” Leng Yuyan asked, puzzled.

“The State Preceptor of Liyang is an Inner Sect Elder of the Xuantian Sect. Since becoming the Holy Son, I’ve been focused on cultivation within the sect and haven’t had the chance to visit our allies. Liyang has been loyal to the Xuantian Sect for tens of thousands of years, with each State Preceptor hailing from our sect. Since we’re here, it’s only proper I pay a visit.”

“I see,” Leng Yuyan nodded.

A middle-aged man hurried out of the mansion, bowing deeply before Yang Chen. “Inner Sect Elder Xu Hui greets the Holy Son!”

As Xu Hui prepared to kneel, Yang Chen stopped him with a wave. “No need for formalities, Elder Xu.”

Xu Hui, the State Preceptor of Liyang, was an Inner Sect Elder of the Xuantian Sect, though only at the Third stage of the Nascent Soul realm, placing him lower in the inner sect ranks. Hence, he had been assigned to Liyang, far from the sect’s cultivation haven.

Xu Hui appeared flustered at the unexpected visit from the Holy Son, unprepared for the honor. “Is something wrong, Elder Xu? Is the Holy Son not welcome here?” Yang Chen inquired upon noticing his unease.

Xu Hui quickly responded, “No, Your Highness! It’s just that there are personal matters within the mansion currently, that I’m afraid might disturb you.”

“Never mind that,” Yang Chen said, dismissing his concern. “The disciples of the State Preceptor’s Mansion are also part of the Xuantian Sect. It would be a pity not to meet them.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Xu Hui replied, leading them inside.

The mansion was lively, with a young man in black standing on the training ground. His robe, embroidered with dragon patterns, signaled his royal lineage.

In the training ground, a young man in black stood with his hands behind his back. The dragon patterns on his robe marked his royal lineage.

“Is this the place you call a hub of geniuses?” he sneered. “Not a single one of you can withstand even ten of my moves. What a bunch of weaklings! The Xuantian Sect is overrated.”

The youth’s cold gaze swept over the defeated disciples below the stage, their mouths stained with blood, their eyes full of fury.

“Li Hao, you go too far!” a tall, elegant female disciple with a strikingly beautiful appearance shouted coldly. “The Xuantian Sect is not for a mere prince of Liyang to insult!”

“Hmph! So what if it’s the Xuantian Sect? If your disciples are this weak, you’re nothing to fear,” Li Hao retorted disdainfully. However, when he glanced at the beautiful female disciple, his eyes flashed with a fervent desire. “Qingxuan, according to our agreement, if I defeat you and your fellow disciples, you must honor our betrothal and become my servant!”

“You bastard! That will never happen!” Xu Qingxuan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with icy determination. She would rather die than marry this scoundrel, let alone serve him as a slave!

At that moment, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan arrived at the training ground.

[Ding! New Son of Destiny detected: Li Hao!]

[Traits: Awakened ancestral bloodline of the Li clan, gained bloodline inheritance, possesses intense desire to dominate his betrothed Xu Qingxuan and her Ice Phoenix bloodline, harbors strong protective instincts towards his mother, Zhao Shirou.]

[Female leads related to Son of Destiny Li Hao: Xu Qingxuan (betrothed), Zhao Shirou (mother).]

[Current Providence Luck: 25,000 points!]

A notification rang out, startling Yang Chen. A new Son of Destiny had appeared so quickly. Ancestral bloodline awakening and inheritance—such a typical plot. This time, though, the addition of a mother was a novel twist.

***

“Holy Son, I have sinned! This Li Hao is the Ninth Prince of the Liyang Kingdom! He was once engaged to my daughter, but when he was found to be unable to cultivate, my daughter wanted to break off the engagement ever since. Recently, for some unknown reason, not only can Li Hao cultivate, but his speed has also skyrocketed! Today, he has come to fulfill the engagement. If he defeats the younger generation of the State Preceptor’s Mansion, my daughter will have to honor the engagement. The juniors of the State Preceptor’s Mansion are no match for him. My daughter being with him is a minor matter, but losing the face of our Xuantian Sect is a major issue. I beg for forgiveness, Holy Son!”

Xu Hui quickly explained from the side.

“I see!” Yang Chen nodded.

It looks like another underdog protagonist rising from nothing. Interesting, interesting.

At this moment.

An injured disciple of the State Preceptor’s Mansion charged onto the battle stage and attacked Li Hao again.

“Li Hao, stop your arrogant boasts! I will fight you again!”

“Hmph, courting death!” Li Hao’s eyes gleamed with killing intent. He had awakened the bloodline of his ancestors. According to the inherited memories, it was a very powerful imperial bloodline. His ancestors were also rulers of an empire. However, that empire ruled over millions of miles, with countless cultivators at the Soul Transformation and Void Refinement Realms.

Far surpassing Liyang Kingdom.

Even far surpassing Xuantian Sect.

Therefore, with such a bloodline and its inheritance, he didn’t even put Xuantian Sect in his eyes.

In the future, he would surely sweep through the Northern Spiritual Realm.

Even the entire Tianqian Realm. Establishing a nation a hundred, a thousand times more powerful than Xuantian Sect. At that time, if Xuantian Sect submitted, they could continue to exist. If not, they would be wiped out from the Northern Spiritual Realm.

Those who follow him will prosper, those who oppose him will perish!

He aimed to be the eternal emperor!

The first emperor of the Great Li Dynasty!

With this goal and vision.

Li Hao’s character had become extremely domineering and arrogant.

Even though the State Preceptor’s Mansion was under Xuantian Sect.

He would still kill to make an example.

To establish the might of the Li Emperor!

“Die!” Li Hao roared angrily.

He struck toward the head of the State Preceptor’s Mansion disciple.

This strike, full of killing intent, was enough to take the opponent’s life.

The disciple’s pupils widened in shock.

He didn’t expect Li Hao to dare to kill him!

He was a disciple of the State Preceptor’s Mansion!

Part of Xuantian Sect!

“Li Hao, how dare you!?” Xu Qingxuan shouted, ready to intervene.

But with her cultivation at the Sixth stage of the Foundation Establishment, she couldn’t stop Li Hao in time.

Just then.

A blue light shield suddenly appeared in front of the disciple.

Bang!

Li Hao’s murderous strike hit the shield and was forced back several steps.

“Who dares? Are you all from the State Preceptor’s Mansion, from Xuantian Sect, cowards? You dare interfere in our fight?”

Li Hao shouted in a deep voice.

To him, this was a display of royal authority.

As a ruler, even when weak, one should not be inferior to anyone.

This was a principle engraved in his mind when he awakened his bloodline inheritance. He believed it was the ultimate truth.

“Li Hao, how dare you!” Xu Hui shouted angrily.

He had seen the Holy Son save that disciple just now. Li Hao dared to insult the Holy Son. Even as a prince, he couldn’t bear such a crime. Xu Hui raised his hand to suppress Li Hao.

But was stopped by Yang Chen.

He wanted to have some fun with this arrogant destined one.

“I was the one who intervened!” Yang Chen walked toward the stage.
