Chapter 2: So What?
Fu Tianling's hand landed on Su Huanxue's hand.
At that moment Su Huanxue had just placed the pill into his mouth. As she withdrew her hand, he grabbed it.
It wasn't that Su Huanxue reacted slowly. She simply never expected that the Ninth Rank trash she could crush with a single finger would dare act so boldly.
Their hands were clasped together causing the air to suddenly go silent.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Performing villainous behavior by sneak attacking one of the world's female protagonists, Su Huanxue, and grabbing her hand. Villain Points +1000.]
[Notification: Host currently possesses 2300 Villain Points.]
Fu Tianling thought to himself, it worked just as expected. He didn't think holding Su Huanxue's hand would give this many Villain Points.
If he actually managed to sleep with Su Huanxue one day…
That would feel amazing.
"You want to die?"
The killing intent around Su Huanxue grew even heavier. Her voice turned so cold it felt like ice piercing the bones. This was the first time a man had touched her.
Even though it wasn't a particularly important place, it was still enough to set her off.
What made it worse was that the one touching her was a complete useless pretty boy. Anyone could imagine how furious she felt right now.
Fu Tianling shivered all over and quickly pulled back his shameless hand.
This female devil would absolutely kill him. That wasn't a threat.
The only reason she hadn't done it yet was because he still had some use.
Fu Tianling spoke with a completely serious face.
"Sister, you suddenly came here, killed my lover, and forced a poison pill down my throat. You won't even give me a little compensation? This young master collecting a bit of interest sounds fair, right?"
He didn't beg for mercy at all and instead spoke as if he was being perfectly reasonable.
After all, the female devil's heart was harder than iron. Begging her would be useless.
Su Huanxue took several deep breaths as if she was adjusting her emotions and suppressing her anger.
The sheer audacity of the useless man in front of her was difficult to understand.
He clearly knew how vicious her reputation was.
So how did he dare?
Did someone really exist in this world who would risk their life just for lust?
After calming down for a moment, Su Huanxue realized she was still quite angry. Her cold gaze slowly moved downward and stopped on Fu Tianling's right hand.
Fu Tianling reacted instantly and showed a resolute expression.
"If you dare cut off this young master's hand, I'd rather die than help you."
Su Huanxue took several more deep breaths before suddenly kicking the beautiful woman's severed head across the room. It smashed into the wall and exploded instantly.
Fu Tianling's body twitched slightly.
The female devil's cruelty truly lived up to her reputation. She didn't even spare the head of a corpse.
"You already know about the Demon Descent Pill, so you must know its effect. This Protector won't repeat herself. If there's a next time, I will show no mercy."
While speaking she stood up and walked toward the window.
Her dark red combat outfit outlined her curves perfectly.
She wasn't particularly tall, barely around one meter sixty. Her beautiful face and petite figure made her look like a gentle girl next door, yet somehow she had become a world famous female devil.
The contrast was huge.
It was like discovering that an innocent looking girl was secretly a bloodthirsty killer.
"I might not finish this within a month. You'll have to come give me the antidote."
Without the antidote within a month, the pill would cause the victim's body to rot and collapse before death.
"Fu Wuming suddenly killed my sister. Someone must be plotting behind the scenes. Find the mastermind and kill them all. If you can't do that within a month, then you can die."
After speaking she paused for a moment before adding another sentence.
"Next time I see you, I hope you're wearing clothes, skinny dog."
As her voice faded, the dark red figure already vanished.
"Who are you calling a skinny dog? Are you blind or what?!" Fu Tianling pointed at the place she disappeared from and shouted angrily.
After Su Huanxue left, Fu Tianling finally let out a long breath. Even though he looked calm earlier, the pressure inside his heart had been enormous.
Su Huanxue was also one of the heroines in this world and the most vicious one at that. According to the original story she would eventually be subdued by the male protagonist.
Right now they probably haven't met yet.
Fu Tianling wiped the blood off his body and slowly put on his clothes. He dressed in an elegant white robe with a luxurious jade pendant hanging at his waist.
Judging from his appearance alone he was truly a top tier handsome man, the classic pretty boy type.
That shout earlier made quite a bit of noise. Fu Tianling could already hear footsteps outside.
He was currently inside the residence of the Censorate Vice Minister and had slipped in through the back entrance earlier.
Fu Tianling opened the door and found the courtyard already filled with guards.
"Bold intruder! Who are you? Why are you inside Madam's chamber?"
A burly guard captain shouted loudly. Judging from his aura he was at least Eighth Rank.
"Why are you yelling? This young master is Fu Tianling. Try touching me if you dare."
Fu Tianling glanced at him with his nostrils pointing toward the sky. He didn't take the guards seriously at all.
Arrogance was practically carved onto his forehead.
The moment the name Fu Tianling was spoken, all the guards fell silent.
Every single one of them silently mourned the Censorate Vice Minister for three seconds and imagined the poor man wearing a very bright green hat.
Fu Tianling was the number one playboy in the Imperial Capital. His reputation was enormous. Every day he was either sleeping with famous courtesans or bullying common people. Rumors even said he once handled five beauties at the same time.
Of course most of those ridiculous things were done by the original owner of this body. This was Fu Tianling's first time acting like Cao Cao, and his only goal was earning Villain Points.
The Vice Minister's lawful wife had once been saved by the story's protagonist Ye Chen. She admired him deeply, which made her the perfect target.
The crowd automatically parted and opened a path for Fu Tianling. His name alone carried that much weight in the Imperial Capital.
Fu Tianling walked forward with his hands behind his back, strutting arrogantly.
"Oh right. Your madam behaved indecently and tried to seduce pure and innocent me. For the sake of Lord Zhong's reputation, this young master has already executed her. No need to thank me."
The guards stood speechless.
In terms of shamelessness, who in the Imperial Capital could compete with you?
After Fu Tianling walked away, the guards rushed into the room to investigate and immediately froze in shock.
The bed was covered in blood and a headless corpse lay there.
Where was the head?
They looked toward the wall and saw a pile of unrecognizable fragments.
Their mouths twitched.
This Fourth Young Master was ruthless.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Performing villainous behavior by committing an illicit affair with the Censorate Vice Minister's wife and brutally killing her.]
[Disgust from Zhang Hu +30.]
[Fear from Wang Er +50.]
[Anger from Liu Shan +60.]
[Anger from Zhou Zhengde +90.]
[...]
[All emotional values automatically converted into Villain Points.]
[Notification: Host currently possesses 3270 Villain Points.]
When Fu Tianling heard the system notification, a smile appeared on his face.
He helped the female devil take the blame and still earned a wave of Villain Points. Not bad at all.
These random bystanders couldn't provide huge amounts of Villain Points individually.
No one was giving hundreds or thousands, but small amounts added up.
After witnessing the scene those guards experienced strong emotional reactions, so he still gained a bit.
Fu Tianling only needed to act like a villain and trigger any kind of emotional reaction from others to obtain Villain Points. Those points could then be used for lottery draws.
If he kills or subdues one of the world's protagonists or heroines, he could even receive additional rewards.
His Ninth Rank cultivation came from a previous lottery reward. Originally he was truly a useless man with no cultivation.
Once he stepped out of the Vice Minister's residence, a luxurious carriage was waiting not far away.
A towering man like an iron tower bowed toward him.
"Fourth Young Master, why did you come out through the front gate? Weren't you sneaking in?"
The man's name was Meng He. He served the Prime Minister's Manor as a retainer and possessed early Grandmaster cultivation.
"Boring. This young master killed her. Return to the manor."
Fu Tianling didn't bother explaining further. He climbed onto the carriage and prepared to start his lottery draw.
