Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

= Present =

Xu Chu was curious why he had returned to the space so early. She doubted if Miaomiao wanted to do something with Liu Bian's soul.

"By the way, are you here for more dual-cultivation or sparring? I won't help you fight any clone stronger than 7th-stage or the [Special] monsters."

Xu Chu referred to protagonist rematch mode and normal sparring. As she was aware that Miaomiao and his slaves always gathered here to battle against armies of clones, she warned him that she hated being used or be someone's tool.

"Nah, I'm here for this guy. Well, how do I form a contract or make him my familiar?"

"You need to get her consent."

"That's the question. How do I do it?"

"Talk to her, fuck her, or brainwash her with your skills."

"..."

Talking or having sex with the baby was impossible.

Miaomiao was at wit's end. He didn't know how he could convince Liu Bian or turn her into his familiar.

Ding

[You can pay 100 billion liters of Life Essence to bind a newborn soul with yours.]

[As for Xu Chu, you need 10 trillion liters of Life Essence to forcefully make her your familiar.]

Having a system cheat, who wouldn't hide any information from him, was better than having an untrustworthy all-knowing devil. Miaomiao was proud of Dion.

'Good job! Take my life essence and make Liu Bian my familiar, now!'

[Affirmative.]

[Please name your new familiar.]

Miaomiao pondered. He wanted to keep Liu Bian's name as it was, but he had another sickening idea.

Since Liu Bian had attempted to disguise himself as Diaochan, Miaomiao might as well name her with that name.

'Diaochan!'

[Affirmative. The familiar will now be called [Diaochan].]

[Diaochan's soul will now reside in your body like how White Album had been doing.]

[You can now summon her to help you in sparring matches and protagonist rematch mode.]

Being reminded about the protagonist rematch mode, he wondered if he could fight Liu Bian now.

He browsed the rematch mode, hoping to see Liu Bian's name in the list.

…

The abilities and skills of Liu Bian were so-so at glance, but Miaomiao knew what his summons could do.

The real threat came from Liu Bian's subordinates, such as liches and death knights as they had a high cultivation base. Although the death knights and the lich that Miaomiao had killed were weak, these summons might not be incompetent as they might also get the system's buff.

Miaomiao had no idea how strong Liu Bian's death knights and liches would be in this space. But for now, he and his yin slaves were not ready to tackle an army of 7th-stage undead monsters and their commanders, aka the liches.

He sighed.

'Damn. Liu Bian with his full potential is too dangerous. Thank god, he died prematurely.'

Miaomiao didn't even want to inspect what the 1,000% difficulty looked like. He closed the menu before he got heartbroken by the OPness of Liu Bian in his final form.

He gazed at Diaochan's baby soul, checking her condition.

The baby looked back at Miaomiao. Her innocent bright eyes were so pure to the point that Liu Bian's previous deed was a lie.

'Will Diaochan have her previous life's memory?'

[She won't remember anything. However, her knowledge in the dark art and her aptitude in shadow element remained the same, including her undead kingdom system.]

'Can I steal her system and merge it with our system?'

[Yes, but she will lose her aptitude and her usefulness in the future. Are you sure about that?]

'Eh, maybe not. Not now.

Miaomiao needed more useful comrades to take on the Yuan Clan and their backers. For now, he left Diaochan's default skills and abilities as it was.

'What about her twilight yin yang essence? Will she be able to cultivate that since her source of energy is my life essence?'

[Unfortunately, no. She will use Life Essence as her primary source of energy from now on since her dantian is connected with yours.]

[Also, from my analysis, her necromancy art will mutate since she can only use life essence. I have no idea how it will turn out.]

'That's… very helpful.'

Miaomiao rolled his eyes as he pitched Diaochan's soft cheek, after which he left the ITS.

…

In the real world, Miaomiao reopened his eyes. Only a few seconds had passed in reality.

Miaomiao grinned and approached the gate again. Then, he attempted to summon Diaochan for the first time.

"Come out, Diaochan."

The soul of the former protagonist slowly emerged from his body. Miaomiao tried to carry her in his arm, but her transparent boy couldn't be touched.

Miaomiao bitterly smiled and turned toward the gate.

"Can she enter the gate? She's Liu Bian from Liu Clan."

The gate opened its eyes and stared at Miaomiao again. It gazed at the soul and gave its verdict.

[Only Liu Clan's descendants can enter this gate!]

Miaomiao put his hands on his hips, defected. He recalled Diaochan back to his body and turned back.

[However, in case that the descendants cannot pick their treasure due to various circumstances, such as being too young or being left with a soul, a guardian is allowed to accompany the descendant inside the gate.]

[Also, the guardian will undergo tests from the Liu Clan if they are sincere and won't cheat the items from the descendants!]

Surprise, surprise, it worked.

Miaomiao looked back at the gate with the confused cat expression. He had planned to send Diaochan in there alone and get whatever she could into his system inventory, but the result was beyond his expectation.

"Are you serious?"

The eye didn't talk back. The whirlpool within the portal suddenly spun and generated gravity force, pulling Miaomiao into the gate.

…

POOF

Miaomiao was thrown into a large platform with nothing but a circle stage in a void space. He tumbled and rolled on the hard hard ground before he managed to get back on his feet.

As soon as he got into a new place, the entrance portal was closed.

"Shit."

At that moment, Miaomiao knew, he fucked up. He regretted trying to infiltrate into the other clan's secret vault now.

He looked around to see if there was anything worthwhile to collect into his system inventory.

Unfortunately, there was none. Only Miaomiao was alone. As for Diaochan's soul, she remained inside him.

Just like the shadow realm, aside from the dark green metallic platform, only darkness void surrounded Miaomiao.

Miaomiao sighed, "What now? Am I trapped?"

RUMBLE

While Miaomiao was about to take out a random teleportation talisman from his inventory, the platform shook and started rotating clockwise.

Then, an archaic voice echoed.

[Guardian of Liu Bian's soul, this is your first trial to prove that you are worthy to be appointed as his guardian. You must be strong and smart enough to survive this simple test!]

RUMBLE

The platform trembled again. This time, Miaomiao sensed the heaviness of his physique as if his weight had been increased by several tons.

He couldn't fly, let alone walk or jump!

Black fog also emerged and gathered below the platform. The miasma transformed into skinny humanoid creatures, waving their arms and tried to reach for Miaomiao.

The shadows wailed, cried, yelled, and shouted in chaos. However, their words were disturbing.

[Why did you kill me? I only wanted your money, not your life!]

[You left us behind in that Red River. We worked so hard to protect you, but you abandoned us!]

[I was just an honest bodyguard! My wife and my two kids were waiting for me back home. What did I do to deserve this!? I just followed my master's order. You could have killed Yu Lin and spare us! WHY!?]

[Xu Miao, you bastard! I, the great Yu Lin, will curse you for eternity! You will die here!]

They were the noise of people that Miaomiao had killed. Many of them were louder than the rest, and Miaomiao recognized them.

Yet, Miaomiao was unperturbed. He focused on lifting his feet and tried to walk toward the center of the platform.

Currently, the platform rotated clockwise, pushing Miaomiao toward the edge with the physic momentum. At the same time, it generated a force field, which disabled Miaomiao's ability to fly or jump.

At this rate, he would be pushed toward the edge. With such a strong gravity field, he would fall into the mist, where several vengeful shadows were waiting for him.

"Welp! I'm fucked… or not."

Miaomiao transformed into a fallen angel. His black feather wings spread wide.

Since Miaomiao couldn't use the wings to fly, he turned around with his back facing the center of the stage. Then, he flapped his wings, generating a strong gale and pushing his body backward.

As if Miaomiao was swimming against a current, he shoved his body while the spinning platform pushed his legs and body forward.

After flapping 20 times, Miaomiao won the tug of war as he pushed his heavy body to the center of the platform.

As soon as Miaomiao stood on the center of the platform, the spinning ceased.

[You've passed the test of strength. Now, the next test shall evaluate your loyalty toward the Liu Clan!]

In front of Miaomiao, a dark fog gathered and transformed into a gorgeous woman with a pink dress. Her smile, soft lips, ample breasts, and bouncy butt seduced him.

Miaomiao didn't know her, but she looked like someone that he knew. However, Miaomiao still couldn't recognize this woman even after he racked his brain.

The void space changed. Instead of being in the empty realm, the sky brightened.

White clouds, the sun, and chirping birds, a pond of water, and a small wooden teahouse on top of the pond appeared.

Miaomiao found himself standing in front of the woman, who had been sitting in the wooden teahouse, eating snacks and sipping tea.

He squinted his eyes, doubting himself whether he hallucinated.

The woman looked at him and licked her lips. Then, she flashed her rabbits.

"Hey, uncle. The emperor and the guards won't be back until tomorrow. How about we do something fun again?"

Miaomiao raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?"

"How cruel! How could you ask that to your favorite slut, little Diaochan?" The woman pouted and stood up, walking closer to Miaomiao.

"Hey, come on, uncle. Fuck me like you always did. Fill my womb with your hot dirty semen and knock me up so I can tell the emperor that he got a child with me."

"Huh?"

The setting was weird.

Miaomiao could still feel Diaochan's soul inside him. However, this woman claimed that she was Diaochan. Secondly, he didn't remember being a servant or a secret lover of a royalty member.

Then, Miaomiao recalled the words from the mysterious voice.

'Eh? A test of loyalty, but isn't this a bit rushed? If it were me, I would have injected some memory into the test taker's brain, tricking their mind that they have been living in this place for years. After that, I would have added this scenario to tempt them. Still, this test is stupid.'

Miaomiao sighed and pushed the fake Diaochan away.

"No, my lady. You can't just tell me that I banged you. In my memory, I haven't even once seen your pussy and your tits. At least, if you are sincere, you should have stripped and opened your legs first, so I can inspect your anatomy if I used to fuck you."

"…"

The woman froze. Then, she yelled at him in anger, "HOW DARE YOU!? I'M THE ROYAL CONCUBINE OF LIU BANG, THE EMPEROR OF HAN! IF I TELL YOU TO FUCK ME, YOU MUST SHOVE YOUR DICK INTO MY PUSSY WITHOUT HESITATION AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!"

Again, even the rebuke was weird. Miaomiao wasn't into this.

He rolled his eyes, "Go ahead and tell your husband that I refused to fuck you. I'm the servant of the Liu Clan, not your sugar daddy!"

"YOU!!"

As soon as the woman pointed her finger at Miaomiao, the world was frozen and the time stopped.

The scenery dispersed, reverting back to the void realm with a metal platform.

[You've passed the second test. By refusing to mate with the emperor's concubine, you've proven your loyalty to the Liu Clan!]

"You don't say…"

Miaomiao almost burst into laughter as the second test didn't make sense at all, or this realm creator had a weird fetish.

Ding

[I forgot to report since it was too funny. I'll fetch up the backlog.]

[A strange Qi has attempted to infiltrate your dantian and your brain.]

[A strange Qi has attempted to hypnotize you.]

[A strange Qi has attempted to increase your sexual desire.]

[You are immune to hypnosis and aphrodisiac.]

[All strange Qi has quarantined and deleted by Macho Joshua's Anti-Virus System.]

"…"

Now, Miaomiao understood what had happened. This space indeed attempted to trick him into having sex with that illusion woman as a part of the test.

[This will be the last test.]

The archaic voice reminded Miaomiao that the test hadn't been over yet.

[Currently, a thief has been sniffing around the Red Sun City's Summer Palace. I shall send you to the thief, and you must defeat him.]

[You must catch or defeat him. Only then, you can enter the secret vault of the Liu Clan!]
