After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Several days passed.

Lin Feng’s previous injuries had improved, but because he had been frequently slapped for no reason by Jiang Chen, his face had swollen up like a pig’s head, and his speech was now slurred.

The two said farewell in front of the ice cave where they were resting.

“Jiang Chen, I… will wait for you at the Ancient Pill Tower!” Lin Feng said with a fist salute, his words unclear.

“Alright, go on, go on,” Jiang Chen nodded.

“Try to raise your cultivation level a bit more. It would be best if you could reach the upper four realms. Also, send my regards to Aunt Shi.”

The “Aunt Shi” he mentioned was the Tower Master of the Ancient Pill Tower, Shi Ning.

Although Shi Ning, like others at the Jiuyan Sect’s Elixir Peak, had deep misunderstandings about Jiang Chen, because of the good relationship between Shi Ning and Xiao Hongyi and the fact that they called each other sisters, Shi Ning’s attitude towards Jiang Chen was much better than others’.

Despite still having reproaches and blame, there was more of the tough love similar to what Xiao Hongyi had shown in the past.

“I’ll remember,” Lin Feng saluted again.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen stepped forward with a raised hand.

“!!!”

Lin Feng was shocked and quickly assumed a defensive posture!

He had been so scared by Jiang Chen’s slapping over this period that he developed a conditioned reflex!

“What are you scared of?”

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and patted Lin Feng’s shoulder, saying, “Hurry back to the Ancient Pill Tower and don’t wander around aimlessly. There are quite a few madmen outside, understand?”

“…Oh.”

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen’s hand delivered a big slap to Lin Feng’s left cheek!

“Slap!”

“Pfft—”

The powerful force sent Lin Feng spinning in the air several times before he crashed to the ground.

After struggling to his feet, he felt dizzy and saw stars.

He couldn’t believe it! Just a second ago, they were saying goodbye like brothers, but the next second, Jiang Chen suddenly struck him!

“Jiang Chen! What did I do to you?!” Lin Feng shouted, still slurring his words.

“Oh, the swelling on both sides of your cheeks was asymmetrical, I just helped you even it out,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Even it out?

That’s the reason for slapping him?

Lin Feng was furious!

He immediately drew his black blade, full of fighting spirit!

Seeing this, Jiang Chen also summoned his Flame Blood Dragon Sword and enhanced it with phoenix fire.

The Flame Blood Dragon Sword, already a superior-grade spiritual weapon, became like a flaming blade with the phoenix fire, and its blood color deepened.

If one listened closely, they could even hear the sounds of dragons and phoenixes.

“Lin Feng, stop it.”

Old Man Tianji advised, “If you clash with Jiang Chen now, you’ll only get beaten up even worse.”

“…”

Lin Feng thought it made sense and sheathed his black blade.

Was it frustrating? Indeed, it was frustrating!

He, the Son of Destiny, slapped into a pig’s head but had to step back again and again.

The more he thought about it, the more infuriating it was!

How could it not be frustrating?

But Lin Feng had gotten used to it after being frustrated so many times.

Anyway, now that he was showing weakness in front of Jiang Chen, he no longer had the previous feelings of unwillingness and anger.

“Farewell!”

After clearly articulating these two words, Lin Feng turned and left.

Jiang Chen stayed in place, watching him go.

His gaze was somewhat affectionate and wistful, like the silent and heavy love of an old father.

Seeing Lin Feng walking further away, Jiang Chen called out, “Lin Feng, take it slow, don’t fall over!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s body noticeably stiffened.

Then, he walked even faster.

Jiang Chen frowned and raised his hand to unleash a “Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon”!

“Roar!”

A golden dragon appeared, roaring as it charged.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng, who was walking in the distance, was struck by the golden dragon and sent flying, tumbling to the ground face first.

“Ah, I told you, but you don’t listen…” Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed.

“See, if you walk too fast, you’re prone to falling…”

Cultivators have good hearing.

Though he had walked a hundred steps away, Lin Feng still heard this remark and couldn’t help but twitch.

In the end, Lin Feng completely disappeared from sight after “falling” a few more times.

This made Jiang Chen feel uncomfortable, and his nose tingled with emotion.

He lamented.

After this farewell, he would have to wait until the Alchemy Conference in a few months if he wanted to bully this Son of Destiny again.

In the first quarter of an hour after Lin Feng’s departure, he already miss him…

As Jiang Chen was immersed in the pain of not able to torment the Son of Destiny, a familiar fragrance wafted from behind him.

Jiang Chen’s heart tightened as this scent filled his nostrils.

This time, he didn’t need to turn around to find out that Nangong Jiuxi was standing behind him!

He dared not look back, nor did he want to.

But he couldn’t stop the palpitations in his heart.

“Beauty, I’ve told you I’m not Jiang Chen, I am the Human Sacred Body, Lu…” Jiang Chen turned around after all.

Before he could finish his sentence, he was struck as if by lightning.

The person standing behind him was indeed Nangong Jiuxi.

But she was covered in wounds, with bloodstains still at the corner of her mouth, her complexion pale as paper, on the verge of collapse… at this moment, Jiang Chen’s body couldn’t stop trembling.

He gently wiped the blood from the corner of Nangong Jiuxi’s mouth, his face fierce, his voice as sinister as a ghost from the ninth hell, he asked:

“Who hurt you?!”

Despite the harshness in his voice, Nangong Jiuxi heard the deep concern.

After a radiant smile, she said nonchalantly, “My injuries? They were caused by Su Shan and others. I heard them speaking ill of you behind your back and couldn’t help but take action.”

“Don’t worry, they ended up worse than me. This time, a total of over ten righteous path prodigies entered the Mysterious Ice Realm. I killed six of them, and Su Shan even had an arm severed by me,” she added.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned.

This familiar plot and development, why was it exactly the same as the previous eight lives?

He had thought that as long as he saw Nangong Jiuxi and fled, he could avoid their fateful entanglement to some extent.

But who would have thought… that the development of events was identical!

Just like in the previous eight lives, Nangong Jiuxi was still killing people and plunging into danger for him.

If he let things continue, Nangong Jiuxi might not escape her fate!

At this moment, a difficult choice appeared before Jiang Chen.

One, to continue to ignore the red thread of fate, reduce contact with Nangong Jiuxi, and gamble whether her fate might change.

Two…

Kill!

Whoever harms Nangong Jiuxi will be killed!

Until he instills fear in everyone and no one dares to harm Nangong Jiuxi again!

Protect this woman who lives and dies for him until the end of this life!

Although doing so would fulfill the heavens’ wish, but he has the system.

He is not powerless like in the previous eight lives, unable to withstand the pursuit of all the righteous forces.

After a long contemplation with his eyes closed, Jiang Chen made his choice.

Nangong Jiuxi had killed people for him in eight lives and died for him in eight lives.

This life… why not live even more freely?

Since he’s going to ascend anyway, why not kill others for this woman in this life?

This is the only thing he can do now.

He hadn’t made this choice before because, although Jiang Chen didn’t want to admit it, he was very clear in his heart.

In this life, even if he resolved to be a thorough villain, he couldn’t bring himself to kill someone innocent to him in nine cycles of reincarnations.

He had upheld righteousness for nine lives despite being scorned and misunderstood, so he still retained a bit of kindness in his heart.

But now… he had to abandon that bit of kindness and become a true demon for Nangong Jiuxi.

Only by doing so could he protect this woman until death.

“Let’s go, follow me to the secret realm’s exit,” Jiang Chen said softly, with his eyes closed.

“You don’t seem very happy?” Nangong Jiuxi perceptively sensed something.

“Happy?”

Jiang Chen shook his head, looking up at the sky and said, “The heavens have seized my only weakness, how can I be happy?”

Nangong Jiuxi was silent, not understanding.

Still, although she didn’t understand, she hung her head like a child who made a mistake, her expression filled with fear and unease.

She felt that she might have done something wrong…

But upon careful thought, she couldn’t figure out what exactly she had done wrong.
