The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

[Detected that the chosen one of destiny, Su Chen, harbors malice towards the host, triggering a super anti-armor. Detected that Su Chen is about to have a great opportunity; he went to the Dust Fate Pavilion's stone gambling workshop and obtained a piece of divine marrow.]

"..." Gu Qing.

Is this a godfather coming to offer warmth and care?

Divine essence is a treasure even rarer than divine medicine and fruit. It is said to be a drop of innate divine blood, nurtured over countless years in a special environment.

The effects of the divine essence are almost omnipotent; it can be used for alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, and talisman making.

It can break through realms, improve one's physical constitution, physical body, soul, and cultivation level, heal injuries, and reshape the physical body.

It can even transform a spirit into an ordinary divine body.

It greatly helps in breaking through from the Saint Realm to the Divine Fire Realm.

It can be said that the essence of the divine marrow exists in a way that even saints would fight tooth and nail to obtain.

Thinking this, Gu Qing scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and saw Su Chen sitting on the ground with a pale face and a bloodstain on his chest, looking quite disheveled.

"Did the protagonist get beaten up by the gatekeeper?" Gu Qing found it strange.

While it's perfectly normal for the protagonist to be looked down upon and insulted by the gatekeeper, it's likely that only Su Chen would get beaten up.

【Yes. 】

[This protagonist is a bit special. He mistakenly believes that he has been reincarnated nine times and has a deep affection for Liu Ruyi. In reality, Liu Ruyi only wants to use him, and the nine reincarnations are just a simulation by the system.]

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing instantly understood what kind of protagonist Su Chen was.

He has been reincarnated nine times, and in each of his nine lives he tried to seduce the wicked Liu Ruyan, but all of them ended in a miserable failure. He vowed to make up for his regrets in this life, so he turned around and tried to seduce the villain, showing off and slapping Liu Ruyan in the face.

These protagonists are extremely powerful.

After all, they know about future events and the characters' personalities.

With the system at his disposal, he's practically an invincible character who can easily overpower the protagonist.

But what does the system mean?

Is Su Chen's reincarnation fake?

Of course it's fake.

[Host, imagine this: if life could truly be relived, if time could flow backward, wouldn't the entire world reverse? Would the lives of those who transcend, and countless other beings, also reverse?]

Do you think such an incredible feat is even possible?

Moreover, what has happened has happened; even if time could be reversed, the established facts of what happened could not be erased.

The system gave Gu Qing a brief explanation of the concept of reincarnation.

In short, the so-called reset of life is an illusion, a mere dream of Zhuangzi's butterfly dream, a fantasy that is not real.

Even things that are supposed to happen in the future may be false; they may not actually happen or appear.

"I see."

Gu Qing nodded knowingly, then said, "Let's check his attribute panel."

[Name] Su Chen.

[Realm/Boundary] None.

[Constitution] Born with a weak body, a soul that has undergone nine reincarnations.

[Talent] Natural shortcut.

[Destiny] A child of destiny.

[Destiny] Like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, soaring into the sky, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

[Luck/Fortune]

Gu Qing glanced at it and then looked away: "What kind of constitution is the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Soul?"

"By using special secret techniques or treasures, one can allow their soul to undergo nine cycles of nirvana and reincarnation. After a qualitative change in the soul, one is naturally close to the Dao and has an extremely high degree of harmony with the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth."

"Doesn't that mean that once Su Chen solves his physical problems, he can soar to great heights?"

【Yes! 】

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and decided to ignore Su Chen for now, since his level was too low. He would let him rest for a few days and see how it went.

He stole Su Chen's opportunity, and he may have another chance to rise to prominence.

Moreover, his level was too low, so the system's reward for killing Su Chen was also low.

Thinking this, Gu Qing said to Liu Ruyan beside him, "Ruyan, I need to go to the jade gambling market."

"I'll go as well."

Liu Ruyan immediately spoke.

“You’re unfamiliar with this place, let me take you there.”

Liu Ruyi continued.

She took out a storage ring and said with a smile, "Sister, these are the spirit stones and treasures I've accumulated over the years. Here you go."

Liu Ruyan swept her divine sense across the area and found a thousand top-grade spirit stones, 10 billion high-grade spirit stones, a dozen precious medicinal herbs, two ten-thousand-year-old king herbs, and three top-grade heaven-rank magic treasures.

She accepted without hesitation, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Such a huge sum of money is something even a King-level expert might not be able to come up with, yet Liu Ruyi just gave it to her for free.

Looking at Liu Ruyi, whose smile was bright and whose eyes were clear and pure.

She had a slight illusion that her sister loved her very much.

It was as if the torment she suffered in her childhood was a nightmare.

Shaking her head, Liu Ruyan banished the horrifying thought from her mind.

Liu Ruyi is a devil in disguise. If she softens her heart, she will definitely repeat the same mistakes.

"Senior Brother Gu, thank you for bringing my sister back. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Liu Ruyi took out another storage ring, presented it to Gu Qing with both hands, her delicate face full of sincerity.

Her voice was so soft and sweet that it was hard to refuse.

Gu Qing: "......"

How come you, little villain, are so good at getting things done?

Gu Qing inevitably developed a slight liking for her.

Seeing through something but not saying it might lead to becoming good friends.

"It's my pleasure." Gu Qing smiled and accepted it, while also taking out a bottle of Jade Purity Nourishing Spirit Pills for her.

Although it is a fifth-grade pill, it is a top-grade pill that strengthens the soul, cleanses the soul, and dispels inner demons. Its value is immeasurable.

At least for Liu Ruyi, it wouldn't be a loss to buy it with 10 billion high-grade spirit stones.

What you buy is what you earn.

After all, improving her cultivation level was the most important thing; spirit stones were just something dispensable to her.

The Supreme Jade Purity Nourishing Spirit Pill is a rare treasure, priceless and unavailable; it's not something you can buy whenever you want.

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

Liu Ruyi looked delighted, her bright and beautiful eyes seemed to contain starlight, with upturned corners, giving her an innocent yet alluring look.

Her skin was snow-white and delicate, full of collagen, with a rosy glow.

Her pure and stunning beauty naturally evokes a man's protective instincts and destructive urges.

She wished she could have all the good things in the world, and then be pampered and abused.

Seeing the two exchanging glances, Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes widened, and a sense of panic welled up in her heart.

Could Gu Qing have been deceived by Liu Ruyi's beautiful appearance?

No, no, no.

Gu Qing is by no means vulgar; there's no way he would be interested in Liu Ruyi.

"let's go."

"Senior Brother Gu, Sister, come with me, we'll take a carriage there."

The capital city is very large, with a diameter of tens of thousands of miles. People usually travel by using their cultivation or by riding in a carriage.

As the carriage pulled away, Liu Ruyi's smile was pure and radiant, her eyes sparkling like a thousand stars. Every frown and smile exuded nobility and elegance.

"Little sister, I've even prepared a mansion for you."

"You've been away for so many years, you probably don't know what fun things there are to do in the capital, right? I do know, I'll take you out to play every day from now on, okay?"

"There are many cultivation caves for rent in the east of the city, which attract heroes from all over the world. There are martial arts competitions every day."

"The south side of the city is the most prosperous, with almost all the high-end shops, restaurants, and garden wonders..."

Listening to Liu Ruyi's patient and delighted explanation, Gu Qing and Liu Ruyan looked at each other in bewilderment.

This guy is really a vicious villain!

Are you sure she's not a gentle, considerate, and kind older sister?

"Fine, fine, so you're good at pretending, aren't you?" Liu Ruyan's eyes gradually turned cold.

Once she gets back, she'll ask to reclaim the origin of her divine and demonic body, and see if Liu Ruyi will give it to her.

...

"Go after them right now!"

Su Chen was overjoyed to see Liu Ruyi's carriage leave the mansion.

He hurriedly asked Su Yi to take him after them.

He has missed Liu Ruyi for nine lifetimes and owes her nine lifetimes. In this life, he must make up for his regrets.

We will never let Liu Ruyi suffer any more harm.
