Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

The pink-haired woman had been covering her crotch area with her hands and staring at Miaomiao with a red face. She bared her fangs as if she was a rabid dog, threatening to bite Miaomiao had he gotten too close to her.

Meanwhile, Miaomiao gargled with spring water and spat them out, after which he wiped his mouth and face with a sterilized wet white towel, which he had stolen from the hotel, to get rid of the nasty smell on his face.

Seeing how Miaomiao treated her private area like a dirty thing, Zhu Qiao screamed in anger.

"Hey! You're overdoing it! I take a shower twice a day!"

Ignoring Zhu Qiao's complaint, Miaomiao produced a cloud of water vapor with his water element Qi and used it to moisten his skin. He also took out a mirror to examine his face up close.

"You know, shitty woman. It ain't easy to maintain my delicate skin. If you sully my precious pretty face with your… disease-ridden pee hole with a radioactive rotten fish inside, I might get skin cancer."

Zhu Qiao rolled her eyes and spat, "Ptut! A boy with a sissy tongue like you are taking care of your facial skin nowadays, huh? Good for you. I bet Yuan Shaoqing will probably fall in love with you if he sees you! At least, you can sell your ass to survive in this world. I bet you get your face-nurturing nutrient protein from the gay-beast cum in your shit hole when you're at Siren City."

"Please, I enjoy fucking others, not the other way around. Don't lump me together with 3rd-rate prostitute wannabe, who is so craving for sex that she opened her legs and shoved her stinking pussy to someone else's face."

"Sometimes, I'm thinking that I'm conversing with a horny chimpanzee when I'm talking to you. Oh? You probably don't know what a chimpanzee is either since your semen-eating brain can't possibly operate without its fuel. You should open your skull and fill it with detergent to clean it, so you can insert a better brain into that peanut skull instead of men's dicks or semen."

Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao continued quarreling and insulting each other. Despite being in the middle of the heated cussing and cursing, none of them resorted to violence as they respected the other's strength.

Two minutes later, both of them stopped yelling at each other. Behind Zhu Qiao, several maids and an old woman from the sect flew toward them.

The leader of the group, a 5th-stage elderly woman, humbly cupped her fist and bowed to Zhu Qiao, "Young lady, please don't leave the sect without a guardian. You're now the fiancé of Young Master Sun Bofu. You should be mindful of your safety. What if one of our disciples mistake you as a stray cultivator or one of the inner disciples? Those hoodlums will surely violate you on the spot!"

Miaomiao raised his brows and gazed at the elderly woman. Although Wu Guotai had briefly described the environment of the sect and he had been observing the woman, he was still confused about how it threatened Zhu Qiao's safety despite her status.

Zhu Qiao glanced at the woman for a moment. Then, she grinned.

Her flying carpet suddenly accelerated, carrying her and flying northwest in a flash.

"YOUNG LADY ZHU!!"

The elders and servants ignored Miaomiao and chased after the girl. However, their flight speed was far inferior to Zhu Qiao's cheating artifact.

Miaomiao shrugged and minded his business, flying toward the northwest, which happened to be in the same direction.

After flying for two minutes, Miaomiao caught up with the old woman's group.

The old woman panted as she glanced at Miaomiao for a moment. She looked away and turned around, returning to the flying island.

Her entourage and other servants also flew back as they didn't have enough essence to support a high-speed long-distance flight. Chasing after Zhu Qiao at a full speed drained their precious yin essence, and they didn't want to waste their time, refilling their empty tank later on.

As for Miaomiao, he continued flying northwest as he maintained the sound barrier speed.

Miaomiao's energy efficiency was superior to the common cultivators. Unlike these people, he had no problem spending his life essence to maintain his flight speed. After all, flying at the speed of sound for a second cost only a few liters of life essence.

He ignored the scenery below despite seeing several landmarks, such as a city with 500-meter tall great walls as if they were afraid of man-eating titans. A massive jade tree in the middle of a river island, west of the city, also stood out.

Unfortunately, Miaomiao had no time to explore them or started Shin-Wo-Sasageyo-ing. His city's safety came first.

As Miaomiao continued to maintain his flight course, someone sent a telepathy voice to his mind.

[Jiangxia City and Jing Province are no-fly-zone. You have three breaths remaining to stop flying through this area. If you're lost, turn around and head east.]

Miaomiao frowned. He left Jianye City's territory for a few minutes, and he had already been warned.

As Miaomiao was about to increase his speed to rush through this area, he saw Zhu Qiao on her carpet, flying toward him.

"What are you doing? Aren't you heading northwest?" Miaomiao smirked, mocking the girl for running back to him.

Zhu Qiao waved her hands, shooing Miaomiao away in a panic, "Hurry and move east! Don't provoke that old geezer!"

The reaction of Zhu Qiao was unusual for an arrogant heroine. She seemed to be scared of someone or something.

"Geezer who? Who are you afraid of?"

"Ever heard of the Five Tiger Generals of Liu Bei of Three Kingdoms?"

Zhu Qiao referred to the famous Tiger Generals of the Shu Dynasty, the strongest generals of Liu Bei Xuande.

Zhao Yun

Ma Chao

Zhang Fei

Guan Yu

And Huang Zhong

These five generals became the pillars of Liu Bei's forces during the Three Kingdom Period.

Still, Miaomiao didn't remember hearing about the tiger general in this province or this city. Even in his previous world, Jiangxia wasn't the home of these people.

Zhu Qiao read Miaomiao's expression. She sighed and shook her head, "Remember elder Huang Gongfu? Huang Gai?"

"Yeah? What about him?"

"He's from the Huang Clan. And the Huang Clan serves the Liu Clan."

"And?"

"You really forgot the history class! You should have paid attention to the novel or Dynasty Warrior games in your previous life!"

"But I don't remember anyone… Ah, shit. Huang Clan… Huang Zhong?"

Miaomiao's brain finally processed the information and figured out the identity of a dangerous individual. He believed that the one who had warned him might be the counterpart of Huang Zhong, the godly archer.

WHOOSH

As Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao had been chatting, an arrow beamed toward them and grazed Miaomiao's left cheek.

It didn't cause a wound other than leaving a slight scratch on his skin.

Had the arrow only done this much damage to Miaomiao's skin, the latter could have ignored the threat and waltzed through the no-fly zone since the attack might be ineffective against his natural physique.

However, the scratch and the trail of the arrow left behind the earthly scent, similar to Emerald Hopea. Moreover, the cut couldn't be healed!

The arrowhead contained Chloro Element Qi! Also, the poison element from the arrow prevented his life essence from gathering to the cheek to heal the wound!

Miaomiao hated the unknown. As the person could potentially kill him, Miaomiao slowly moved east, following the unknown old man's instruction.

Then, both Zhu Qiao and Miaomiao heard an old man's voice in their mind.

[That was a warning shot. Next time, I won't miss it. Leave this area or walk on your feet! This area is the no-fly zone.]

"…"

"…"

Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao looked at each other. Without hesitation, they rushed east, avoiding potential trouble.

The old man didn't shoot an arrow at them again.

After Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao got back to safety, they stared at each other. The former began interrogating her, "What do you know about that godly archer of this world?"

Zhu Qiao grinned, "Let me marry you in-name and help me coax my mother not to marry me to some horny guy, and then, I'll tell you. Oh, the talisman deal is still on."

"Haiz. Fine! I'll let you use my name. Happy now?"

"Good! Swear by your dao oath. I don't like empty promises."

"I swear by my dao oath that I'll be your husband-in-name when we get to Siren City in one piece!"

RUMBLE

The air around Miaomiao hummed as the oath had taken an effect.

Though Zhu Qiao didn't like the vague promise, she cooperated and revealed the information that she knew.

"Okay. I'll explain. While I'm at it, let's detour to the north. Then, we can fly west when we're out of Jiangxia's airspace."

"Alright."

…

Jing Province, the same province name as Miaomiao's former world, was the home of a feudal lord with a "Liu" surname.

Liu Biao was another aristocrat, who was a relative of the former emperor. His influence and territory covered the entire middle southern land and eight provincial capital cities, including Jiangxia.

Among Liu Biao's ranks, a renowned clan served this lord.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although many people with Huang surname weren't from the same clan or cities, many famous generals with Huang surnames served Liu Biao as his officers.

But in this world, all Huang clansmen came from Jiangxia City. Huang Gongfu, aka Huang Gai, was once a member of this clan.

Zhu Qiao knew two people, whose names were also famous.

Huang Zu, the same name as his counterpart, was the city lord of Jiangxia. He was also the patriarch of the Huang Clan in this world.

The other one was Huang Hanshang, aka the counterpart of Huang Zhong. Zhu Qiao had learned from her mother that this person was once a champion of the Huang Clan, and he had an opportunity to train at the Holy Land Continent. He didn't participate in the cultivator-demon war, but his strength and archery techniques were not to be looked down upon.

Furthermore, his strength was at the top of this mortal world.

"A fucking 9th-stage cultivator!? Are you fucking serious!?"

Miaomiao's throat went dry when he heard the true strength of Huang Zhong.

"Yeah. Let's not mess with that guy," Zhu Qiao's face was pale as she glanced in the direction of Jiangxia City, where the 500-meter tall walls were located.

On the other hand, Miaomiao's throat and mouth became moist a few seconds later. He stared at the city and wiped his saliva.

He wanted to recruit the Huang Clan or hire them to fight the Yuan Clan!

Zhu Qiao noticed the smug smile on Miaomiao's face. She sneered at him, "Don't tell me you want to recruit him as well? He's destined to join forces with Liu Bei, you know?"

"I don't give a fuck. I already won Gan Ning's heart, and he will join me later on. Why can't I recruit that archer god?"

"Don't be greedy. He's out of our league. If you can make a name for yourself or you can reach the 7th-stage, you can try talking to him later."

"But, what if he joins Yuan Shaoqing's forces? Don't forget that the historical trend from our world and this world isn't always the same. Look at the Huangjin Monastery. They're pretty much the Yellow Turban thieves, but they are harmless monks in this world."

"Dream on. He won't join you. Do you think a godly 9th-stage cultivator will bow his head to a 4th-stage fool!?"

"…"

Miaomiao didn't believe in Zhu Qiao. He had the urge to rush into the city and talk with this mysterious godly archer right away. However, his phone vibrated again.

A text message came from Wu Guotai.

[Zhu Qiao has escaped from the sect. Master, have you seen her? I heard you went out as well.]

Miaomiao immediately hid the phone before Zhu Qiao could spy on it. Because of the phone interruption, he suddenly had the second thought, "Let's take a detour. We'll leave Huang Zhong's matter for now. I need to rush home."

Zhu Qiao nodded. She continued riding her carpet, traveling along with Miaomiao toward the north.

…

Jiangxia City

A withered old man with a long white beard and long white hair had been sitting on top of the tall wall, meditating with his eyes closed.

His soul sense and soul domain covered the entire city and the airspace. Even though Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao had flown east, they were still within the domain range of this expert.

Huang Hansheng could hear everything that Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao had said. When they talked about enlisting him, he was amused.

"Hahaha! Ambitious brats. You're too tender to be my liege. If you want me to bow down to you, prove your worth first like the lady has said."

Huang Hansheng slightly opened his eyes and gazed at Miaomiao. He paid attention to the small cut on the latter's cheek, which he had accidentally grazed.

The wound slowly healed despite being hit by his arrow. Normally, a 7th-stage cultivator should have started squirming in pain because of the poison element Qi. But for Miaomiao, he simply ignored it.

"Not bad. I guess you have the right to be that arrogant," Huang Hansheng paused. His face darkened for a moment, "Still, boy, Liu Biao has issued a warrant for your head. Had you come down here and attempted to recruit me, I would have arrested you. Well, since you're funny, I'll let you off the hook just this once."

The old archer grinned and closed his eyes, continued meditating despite having abilities to instantly kill Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao.

…

Meanwhile, Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao suddenly received system notification messages.

Ding

[You have spent almost all your luck points to save your life.]

[Your current luck point: 1.]

[Your Heavenly Fate Pieces have been disabled. Please collect 1,000 luck points to reactivate them.]

[Warning, if your luck point reaches zero, you will die.]

Miaomiao and Zhu Qiao stared blankly at their system panels. They screamed simultaneously.

"WTF, SYSTEM!?"

None of them had realized that their personal plot armor had saved their skin from the instant death.
