I Am the Fated Villain

Geniuses from the Immortal Domain frequently venture into the Upper Realm to refine their skills to become Dao-building experts due to the close proximity between the two realms.

This trend had been ongoing for some time and was not considered unusual. However, what caught the attention of many cultivators was the unprecedented high-profile nature of the young individual from the Immortal Domain. He wanted the entire Upper Realm to take notice. Additionally, the presence of an old servant suspected to be in the true immortal realm suggested that he might possess an extraordinary background in the Immortal Domain.

Despite these notable factors, most cultivators and beings maintained an attitude of surprise and curiosity. There was no concern that this young man from the Immortal Domain would act presumptuously in the Upper Realm, especially with a true immortal. Even the renowned Immortal Kings would not dare violate the rules of the two realms.

“My lord, upon passing through the star field ahead, you will reach the territory where the Human Ancestor Hall is located. As your subordinate, I find it inappropriate to proceed any further, so I won’t accompany you,” Wang Wushuang, who had been leading the way, spoke respectfully.

The golden Dao-building expert extended from the Wang family’s territory, traversed multiple star fields, and eventually approached a vast life star field. However, when they reached this point, Wang Wushuang, leading the way, expressed his decision to remain there.

Standing on the Golden Dao-building expert, Ni Chen heard this and frowned slightly, displaying a hint of displeasure. However, he refrained from blaming Wang Wushuang for such a trivial matter and nodded, saying, “Very well, if that’s the case, you may stay here.”

Since they were reaching the territory of the Human Ancestor Hall, it mattered little whether Wang Wushuang led the way or not. Ni Chen’s sole purpose in coming to the Upper Realm was to find Wang Ziji.

“Understood,” Wang Wushuang lowered his head, dismounting from the golden road.

Before leaving, he cast a deep look at Wang Wushang. He remained unaware of the actual status “Wang Wushang” held in the Immortal Domain. However, the Human Ancestor Hall held a unique and esteemed position in the Upper Realm.

Almost everyone in the Upper Realm knew that Jiang Chuchu, a holy maiden in the Human Ancestor Hall, was the concubine of Gu Changge. The Human Ancestor Hall maintained strict rules, prohibiting men from approaching its surrounding borders.

As a result, many immortal forces considered the Human Ancestor Hall akin to a restricted area. Male cultivators, in particular, refrained from approaching due to the fear of causing misunderstandings.

During their time in the Ancient Immortal Wang family, the ancestor attempted to explain the transcendent status of the Human Ancestor Hall. However, Wang Wushang dismissed the explanation with a wave of his hand, showing little interest.

“You brought it upon yourself,” Wang Wushuang remarked, observing the golden Dao of light spreading across the starry sky.

In his view, Wang Wushang claimed to be seeking his sister but hadn’t received a single word from her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left the Ancient Immortal Wang family at this time.

This suggested a strained relationship between his sister and Wang Wushang. Even though he held the position of the young master in the Immortal King family within the Immortal Domain, challenges persisted in the Upper Realm, discouraging the making of high-profile statements.

Soon, the golden light reached the territory outside the Human Ancestor Hall. Before them lay a magnificent scene featuring verdant mountains, pavilions on the horizon, and a city suspended high in the sky like a brilliant sun radiating light in all directions. The boundless power of luck and faith surged from various star fields, creating undulating waves.

“Such an incredible power of faith,” Ni Chen marveled at the spectacle before him.

As the cultivation base advanced, one became more attuned to the changes in the surroundings. The entire world seemed to be bathed in the silver light of faith. Utilizing such power for cultivation promised significantly enhanced results. However, just as Ni Chen prepared to step into this power, several female figures emerged around the mountain range, indifferently regarding him.

Whoever comes, stop!

Holding thin swords, these women didn’t possess high cultivation bases, appearing inconsequential to Ni Chen. However, their audacity to block his path raised a question.

Could they not perceive his cultivation and the formidable older man accompanying him? Despite this, Ni Chen, unfamiliar with the Upper Realm, chose not to engage in conflict.

“I came from the Immortal Domain to find Miss Ziji,” he said, cupping his hands with a gentle demeanor.

“No outsiders are allowed to set foot near the Human Ancestor Hall, so please return, my lord.”

Upon hearing this, the women frowned but remained resolute in their stance. In the past, news of someone arriving from the Immortal Domain would have stirred astonishment.

However, the present Upper Realm had transformed, and so had the Human Ancestor Hall. The Human Ancestor Hall, backed by the Divine Kingdom, held a transcendent status, and all forces in the Upper Realm revered it. Disciples of the Human Ancestor Hall were highly esteemed, and no one dared to disrespect them.

The young man before them asserted his origin from the Immortal Domain, invoking the name of Wang Ziji. Accompanied by an older man with an unfathomable cultivation level, who appeared as a senior servant, their presence failed to sway the women. Adherence to its rules was imperative when one approached the Human Ancestor Hall.

“I hail from the Immortal Domain, and my identity is actually Miss Ziji’s cousin,” Ni Chen explained, his expression becoming slightly more severe yet retaining a measure of restraint.

Ni Chen felt displeased, expressing his surprise that these women were still blocking his way, seemingly uncertain what to do.

“In the Human Ancestor Hall, regardless of your status, rules must be followed. I hope this lord will be able to handle our difficulties. Even if Ziji’s father seeks her, he must adhere to these rules and wait outside. If this young master wishes to see Holy Maiden Ziji, you can wait here. When she departs the Human Ancestor Palace, we will inform you. Alternatively, young man, you can contact Holy Maiden Ziji yourself. If she wishes to see you, she will come out to meet you,” one of the women explained with an unwavering expression.

In response, Ni Chen’s displeasure deepened. Time was of the essence, and his journey from the Immortal Domain to the Upper Realm had been a deliberate choice. Being told now to wait, did he want to squander his time here?

Must I wait here all this time?

Ni Chen furrowed his brows tightly, clearly frustrated. His time was valuable, and the decision to travel from the Immortal Domain to the Upper Realm had been carefully considered.

“Could you help me by reporting and informing Miss Ziji?” he added in a low voice, his discontent evident. However, the women shook their heads. Their duty was to patrol, and the Human Ancestor Hall had its means of contacting Holy Maiden Ziji if necessary.

Rather than allowing their disciples to pass on the report, Ni Chen’s patience wore thin. He had hoped to avoid causing trouble upon his arrival in the Upper Realm. Still, the Human Ancestor Hall women blocked his way, indifferent to his identity.

Despite his calm demeanor, this body was a descendant of the Immortal King family in the Immortal Domain, commanding respect even in that realm. It seemed inconceivable to face such opposition in the Upper Realm.

“I can only express my regret for those few,” Ni Chen sighed.

Taking a deep breath, he regained composure. Without waiting for the women to react, a purple halo emanated from his eyes, enveloping them. In an instant, their expressions dulled, seemingly losing their awareness.

With an impassive expression, Ni Chen walked past them, accompanied by the older man in the true immortal realm. The surroundings blurred as they seemed to vanish into nothingness. Despite suppressing the true immortal realm’s strength in the Upper Realm, infiltrating any immortal force without detection was simple.

Meanwhile, the aroma of wine filled the air in the hall, creating a heavenly atmosphere. Amidst the mist of immortals, the scene would appear serene if not for the two intoxicated women.

Gu Changge observed Jiang Chuchu, who was enthusiastically drinking and displaying a heroic demeanor. This unexpected behavior was giving him a headache.

In the past, Jiang Chuchu projected an image of being cold on the surface but delicate and naive beneath. Gu Changge hadn’t anticipated this side of her after indulging in alcohol.

“Can something like wine truly bring out one’s true nature?” Gu Changge chuckled, reaching out to snatch the wine from Jiang Chuchu’s hand.

Consequently, Jiang Chuchu clung to him like an octopus. The melon seeds on her head brushed against his arms, and the mingled fragrance and wine enveloped Gu Changge. With a mouth reeking of alcohol, she mumbled, rubbing against Gu Changge’s neck.

Husband!

Give me back the wine.

Gu Changge, feeling a bit helpless, gently rubbed her head. The Immortal King Wine she had consumed was potent, and despite Jiang Chuchu’s talent, excessive drinking might not bode well.

“You’re drunk, Chuchu.”

As he spoke, Gu Changge glanced at the stone table nearby, where Wang Ziji was already inebriated. This was the very wine Wang Ziji had brought with her to the Human Ancestor Hall. Gu Changge wondered if Wang Ziji intended to showcase Jiang Chuchu in this inebriated state.

Reflecting on the situation, Gu Changge couldn’t help but think about the strained sisterhood between Jiang Chuchu and Wang Ziji.

“Husband, give it to me…”

“I want to drink…”

Jiang Chuchu, in her current inebriated state, voiced her desire for more alcohol. However, Gu Changge, ever caring, wouldn’t allow her to drink any further. He made the wine disappear with a flick of his sleeves.

“Eh…”

“Where’s the wine?”

Jiang Chuchu stared at his empty palm, momentarily bewildered. However, her sobriety was fleeting. The alcohol surged again, causing her consciousness to waver. Unable to keep her eyelids open, she limply fell into Gu Changge’s arms.

“Have a good night’s sleep.”

Gu Changge’s figure flickered, and he carried her into the bedroom of the Human Ancestor Hall, allowing her to rest.

Gu Changge, familiar with the environment of the Human Ancestor Hall, effortlessly navigated the way back to the hall. There, he found Wang Ziji holding her head with a smiling expression, looking less intoxicated than before.

“Is this how you trick Chuchu?”

Gu Changge sat down beside her, displaying an expression of nonchalant understanding. Wang Ziji, being well-acquainted with the potent Immortal King Wine from her time in the Moon King Mansion in the Immortal Domain, was not genuinely inebriated. She had only been pretending to be drunk to fool Jiang Chuchu.

Wang Ziji smiled and explained, “How can I call it cheating on her? This is the Immortal King Wine that I brought back from the Immortal Domain. Although I am reluctant to drink it myself, she was lucky this time, drinking my little half right away. After waking up, she might break through. As her husband, shouldn’t you compensate me?”

She then extended her hand, indicating that Gu Changge should return the remaining Immortal King Wine.

Gu Changge, seemingly oblivious to her request, shook his head and remarked, “You know that after drinking, she will say some nonsensical things.”

Wang Ziji retorted, “Hmph, are you still feeling distressed?”

She gestured for the wine, making it clear that she wanted the remaining portion returned. Gu Changge, feigning ignorance, replied, “You asked me to come to the Human Ancestor Hall, it wasn’t just to let me see Chuchu’s drunken state, right?”

Wang Ziji confirmed, and her expression became more severe as she handed the wine back to Gu Changge. Gu Changge smiled, implying an understanding of her true intentions.

“That’s natural.”

Wang Ziji frowned as she recounted the reason for her request, “I’m in a bad mood, and I want to drink with you.”

She poured wine for Gu Changge and filled her glass.

“Are you sure you want to drink with me or want to drink this?” Gu Changge teased, his smile revealing an ambiguous meaning.

Wang Ziji glared at him, “You care about me?”

Gu Changge continued to jest, “I think you are trying to get drunk and cowardly.”

Annoyed and embarrassed, Wang Ziji gritted her teeth, feeling the urge to retaliate. However, Gu Changge held her head down, bringing his face closer with a teasing smile.
