I Am the Fated Villain-Novel

Gu Changge reached out with a gentle smile and playfully pinched her nose.

He was clad in pristine white attire with broad feathered sleeves; his handsome face exuded an otherworldly charm. Despite his celestial status, he appeared remarkably ordinary, concealing that he had ascended to immortality.

It was challenging for even background figures to control their aura fluctuations. Ordinary cultivators near them would either be immobilized or quickly shattered by the overwhelming energy emanating from their bodies.

Gu Changge, however, seemed to have mastered the art of concealing every degree of his energy and breath fluctuations, making them nearly undetectable. His return to a simple and unassuming appearance was a testament to his profound cultivation.

Gu Xian’er thought, swatting away his hand with an expression of disdain.

She said with a look of disgust, “Last time, you promised that once I breakthrough to the Supreme Realm, you’d suppress your cultivation to match mine and have a fair, equal fight. But your words mean nothing now.”

She was well aware that Gu Changge spoke the truth. Over the years, her rapid progress was primarily thanks to Gu Changge’s alchemy, specifically the Purple Immortal Pill.

Though not on par with the legendary version, it possessed terrible efficacy, aiding cultivators in breaking through their limitations.

While Gu Xian’er aimed for thorough mastery at every stage, using alchemical medicines kept the solidity of her progress intact.

The Purple Immortal Pill was divided into nine varieties by Gu Changge after consultation with Lin Qiuhuan, each targeting different enhancement aspects and levels. Some boosted magical powers, others fortified the soul, while some improved innate talent.

Gu Changge, mindful of the potential pitfalls of alchemy and the risk of dependence, carefully tailored the pills to complement each other, ensuring a gentle and stable effect.

“That’s why I came to Peach Village,” Gu Changge chuckled, walking alongside her as they strolled into the heart of the village.

“Really? You came all this way just to see me?” Gu Xian’er cast a skeptical glance at him.

Yet, deep inside, she felt pretty pleased. “I came to Peach Village, what else could be my purpose other than meeting my Xian’er?” Gu Changge chuckled lightly.

“Who’s your Xian’er? We’re not that close,” Gu Xian’er glared at him, but her steps became more graceful.

Tipping her chin slightly, she seemed immortal and content. Then, recalling something, she repeated, “You’ve only visited me a few times in all these years.”

The latter part of her statement held the essence of her feelings. “Out of sight, out of mind, right? Besides, you always seem quite fed up with me,” Gu Changge responded, wearing a somewhat helpless expression.

“You…” Gu Xian’er halted and turned to glare at him.

However, considering how she had portrayed herself over the years, overly dismissive of him to conceal her emotions, she hesitated. Should she clarify that she didn’t actually dislike him as much as he might think?

Well, she still did, just not as much as he imagined.

But soon, she caught a hint of a mischievous smile at the corner of Gu Changge’s lips, instantly realizing he was teasing her again.

Clenching her teeth, she launched a series of jade-like punches towards Gu Changge, eager to give him a good beating. This scoundrel always found ways to play with her.

Gu Changge fulfilled her wish this time by suppressing his cultivation to the Supreme Realm and engaging in a fair fight. It was a way to compensate for Gu Xian’er’s regrets over the years, wishing for a sparring match with him.

The commotion from their confrontation soon attracted many villagers in Peach Village. Even the Tao Yao appeared with Yaoyao, resembling a goddess by the water, radiating beauty beyond description.

Yaoyao, looking delighted and waving her small hand in greeting.

Gu Xian’er’s other senior figures observed the scene, their gazes unwavering. They could easily discern from their perspective that Gu Changge had reached an unfathomable realm, likely as the rumors suggested—he had become immortal.

The biggest culprit behind the Kun Ji disaster was him.

Yet, there was little fear or unease among them. In front of the people of Peach Village, Gu Changge was always amiable and refined. Even the children liked him and were willing to be close to him.

the head of Peach Village mused, expressing envy towards Gu Xian’er. To have a true immortal personally suppress their cultivation to match hers and spar with her was an opportunity countless cultivators dreamed of.

Perhaps only Gu Changge would be willing to dote on her like this. Over the years, Gu Changge’s visits to Peach Village were limited—either to see Gu Xian’er, check on Yaoyao.

Gu Xian’er was well aware of Gu Changge’s background, including his involvement in the Kun Ji disaster decades ago and his recent dominance over the Dark Heaven. She knew these were all planned by Gu Changge.Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt

Initially, she was concerned that things might unfold similarly to what happened in the lake of reincarnation. However, she later realized she might have been overly worried.

Gu Changge never revealed his identity to the public, wreaking havoc across the realms. He remained in the shadows, suggesting a different agenda.

Of course, relatively speaking. The Dark Heaven’s control over the realms had led to the demise of numerous ethnic groups, and it wasn’t a lenient rule. All the immortal forces existed under the shadow of the Dark Heaven.

Compared to what Gu Xian’er witnessed in the lake of reincarnation, these were minor incidents and not worth much attention.

According to the lake of reincaenatio’s display, Gu Changge was supposed to kill Yue Mingkong on their wedding day. However, the present reality shows a highly affectionate couple, making Gu Xian’er often envious and jealous.

Soon, amid their sparring, Gu Xian’er, with an annoyed expression on her face, suddenly protested.

Gu Changge wore an innocent expression, insisting he didn’t intentionally do so.

Gu Xian’er didn’t buy his nonsense. She knew her strength, and although she could look down on her peers, facing Gu Changge at the same level was a different story. Now, she was holding her ground and gaining an upper hand.

This wasn’t just going easy on her; it was going way too easy.

Gu Xian’er, looking at his innocent expression, became even angrier.

“I thought letting you win once might make you happy,” Gu Changge said softly, his expression more subdued.

In truth, he could sense that Gu Xian’er hadn’t been very happy lately, carrying some burdens in her heart. When she visited the Canglan Ancient Realm some time ago, staying with her parents for a while, Gu Changge had noticed. Yet, her mood didn’t improve much upon returning.

Though unwilling to admit it, Gu Changge knew he harbored guilt towards Gu Xian’er.

“Do you want to make me happy?” Gu Xian’er paused; it was rare to see Gu Changge looking sincere and thoughtful.

Her gaze wandered a bit, feeling unexpectedly pleased. She muttered, “As long as you don’t bully me, I’m already happy.”

Peach Village was small, situated in the forsaken lands of the Upper Realms, and was a little small. There were vast, primordial forests within a radius of several thousand miles.

Towering ancient trees and fierce beasts roamed freely, making it a place where ordinary cultivators dared not approach.

In his leisure time, Gu Changge would reside in Peach Village. It was a peaceful and relaxed period for him. The current Upper Realms were more prosperous than ever, enjoying rare tranquility.

After the Kun Ji disaster over a decade ago, the Dark Heaven began to unify the various realms and brought unprecedented stability to the Upper Realms. Even ordinary cultivators could sense the difference.

In the past, each race and forces in the Upper Realms acted independently, often resulting in chaos and conflicts between starfields.

The current situation, with the Dark Heaven establishing order, brought peace and stability that was advantageous for the Upper Realms in the long run.
