Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Four: How to Win Over Ling Xin'er?

Bai Ke stroked his smooth chin and strolled out the door. "This little girl runs pretty fast," he thought. "Hmph, let's see if you can escape my grasp."

Bai Ke was indulging in his own fantasies when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ah Can lounging around with a lewd expression, watching them. So he called out impatiently, "Ah Can, you come here!"

Ah-Can looked embarrassed and shuffled over with a pained expression. "Young Master, you wanted to see me?"

"I called you earlier but you didn't answer. What were you doing?"

"Replying to young master, I just went to the outer gate."

Then Ah-Can said with a disdainful look, "Young Master, please don't think I'm being nosy."

What a wonderful girl Xin'er is! That brat Ling Feng keeps yelling about giving Xin'er back, but to me, it's all utter nonsense.

"Oh? What do you mean? Is there some hidden story?" Bai Ke looked at the indignant man in front of him with great interest.

Seeing that Bai Ke had become more interested, Ah Can quickly added, "You don't know, young master. I just went to the outer gate to ask my cousin about it."

Ling Feng and Miss Xin'er are both from Mo Yun Kingdom, which is under the jurisdiction of our Tian Ce Palace. They are both from the outer sect and come from the same place.

Ling Feng always considered himself Miss Xin'er's sweetheart, and no matter who spent too much time with her, he would always try to interfere. This angered everyone in the outer sect.

But this kid's cultivation progress was quite fast. In just one year, he achieved the perfection of body refinement and broke through to the Innate Realm.

"I heard that he is quite popular among the inner sect elders." At this point, A-Can secretly looked up at Bai Ke, but saw that Bai Ke did not express anything and looked indifferent.

Then he continued, "Of course, he can't compare to you, young master. He's just a frog in a well, thinking he's some kind of genius."

Unlike you, young master, who at only 18 years old has already cultivated a golden core within your body, you stand at the pinnacle among the younger generation of our Tian Ce Palace.

In my opinion, you are the only one who is truly qualified for the position of Holy Son; none of the others are as qualified as you.

Even if there are others who have also broken through to the Golden Core Realm, you are the senior disciple of our Tian Ce Palace! Who would dare to challenge you for the position of Holy Son?

"Stop flattering me. So you're saying that Xin'er and Ling Feng have nothing to do with each other anymore?"

Bai Ke thought to himself, but then smiled nonchalantly:

"So what if I have connections? I'm not here to suffer in silence. Even if I did, I'd still take it all!"

Thinking of this, Bai Ke became arrogant again, "Hehe, if this were in our country, what's that saying again?"

Heaven... if we don't seize this opportunity, we'll suffer the consequences. We've got to dig this hole up!

"Ding, as the saying goes, if you dig well, you can dig up any wall. A successful villain often starts by bullying men and women."

Task 1: Win over Ling Xin'er.

The mission reward is a 7-day trip to a martial arts world, plus a random draw for martial arts techniques, bloodlines, and skills from various villains across countless realms.

Bai Ke stared at the task panel in front of him. When did they turn girls into tasks? This damn system is as shameless as ever.

Bai Ke, who was pondering how to complete the task, was completely unaware of the increasingly ambiguous look in A-Can's eyes beside him. It seemed that his young master was really interested in Ling Xin'er.

Thinking of this, Ah-Can became even more excited. Now that he knew the young master's preferences, wouldn't it be easy to do what he needed to do next?

Ah-Can had heard the storyteller tell all sorts of stories about heroes saving damsels in distress and gentle persuasion until his ears were calloused.

However, the most urgent task now is to get rid of that troublesome Ling Feng. We still need to investigate the outer sect more thoroughly.

Miss Xin'er is our future mistress, so we should try to curry favor with her. Also, we need to arrange for someone to get rid of Ling Feng as soon as possible.

Ah-Can still has some self-awareness as a servant; he considers himself a wise person who knows how to use his brain.

It is his duty to help the young master and solve his problems. He cannot be like those filthy fools who need to be looked after and urged by others.

Pursuing a girl is a big deal, and Bai Ke felt he should think it over carefully. But right now, he needed to figure out the time difference between that small world and the Mountain and Sea Realm he was in.

Otherwise, if they keep disappearing while traveling to different small worlds, it could cause a lot of trouble.

Xin'er said that she didn't know if she had just heard about it or if only a short while had passed.

I still need to find Ah Can and ask him properly. Thinking of this, Bai Ke turned to face Ah Can and said, "Ah Can, young master, let me ask you, how long have you been in the outer sect?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask that, young master? Do you suspect me of having some shady dealings?"

Thinking of this, Ah-Can shuddered and hurriedly said, "Young Master, I didn't do anything bad."

I only went to see my cousin, that's all... I'm utterly loyal, heaven and earth can bear witness!"

Bai Ke was both amused and exasperated by this whole situation, and said while suppressing his laughter:

"Alright, alright, I didn't suspect anything, I just want to know about Xin'er..." Bai Ke gave A-Can a knowing look.

"Hmm, it seems that not much time has passed. We need to investigate further to find out exactly how much time has passed."

Ah-Can then realized he had misunderstood and could only awkwardly reply:

"Young Master, you haven't said what you're going to do since you went back to your room. I've thought about it a lot, and I can't let Ling Feng ruin your important plans."

I went to the outer gate to find my cousin. Then I came back. On the way, I even made a special trip to Wanbaotang to collect your monthly allowance, young master.

As he spoke, Ah Can hurriedly took out several jade bottles from his bosom, which contained some pills and the like to help with cultivation.

However, since Bai Ke had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the pills that were meant for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm who were accumulating spiritual energy were no longer of any use to him.

He took the jade bottle, took out some Qi Gathering Pills and Qi and Blood Pills, and handed them to Ah Can. "You've had a long and tiring journey. I'm never harsh on my own family."

These are for you. Cultivate your skills well so that you can better serve the young master in the future.

And your cousin or something, go among the disciples of our sect and find a few with good aptitude, then distribute these cultivation resources.

Just say that I, the young master, saw how diligently they were cultivating, and that it was a way to win their hearts. Understand?

Ah-chan was overjoyed and quickly took the item from Bai Ke's hand, bowing deeply in gratitude.

"Young Master is so kind and benevolent, bestowing such a treasure for cultivation. On their behalf, we express our deepest gratitude to Young Master!"

Then, Ah-Can asked with a worried look, "But, young master, will your cultivation...?"

Ah-Can was worried that Bai-Ke might think that the lack of these cultivation resources would slow down his cultivation progress.

"It's alright," Bai Ke said, waving his hand. Then, he released his aura, a faint pressure filling the surroundings. A-Can's eyes widened in disbelief. "Young Master...you...you've broken through?"

"Hmm," Bai Ke said with a faint smile between his brows.

"This is wonderful! I was secretly worried for you, young master, when I heard that a few others had also broken through to the Golden Core Realm. Now everything is fine."

"Young Master, you've broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm! That's a realm that only some of our sect's elders can reach!"
