LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 2
Chapter 2: No Need for Women’s Clothing Anymore?:
As Ning Jie pondered, the woman lying beside him noticed that he was ignoring her and panicked.
She thought she hadn’t served him well enough last night and quickly snuggled into his embrace, her face filled with worry.
In Xiling City, located in the northern part of the Great Xia Empire, Ning Jie was infamous as the “Little Demon King.” His reputation was widely known—rumors painted him as a depraved hedonist who spent his days indulging in debauchery, mistreating men and women alike. Stories spread that countless young boys and girls in Xiling City had fallen victim to his wicked ways.
Wherever he went, chaos followed. If something displeased him, even the local dogs would get slapped twice, eggs would be shaken until the yolks scattered, and worms would be split in half vertically!
His deeds were so outrageous that even gods and men were furious, and dogs would shake their heads in disapproval!
Yet, despite the resentment he garnered, he was untouchable—he was the orphaned son of the late city lord. Many people gnashed their teeth in anger but could do nothing except curse him behind his back.
The woman looked up at Ning Jie with tender eyes and asked in a soft voice, “Young Master Ning, did I not serve you well? Please don’t be upset.”
Ning Jie snapped out of his thoughts, a mischievous smile forming on his lips. He lifted her chin with his index finger and smirked. “Your name is Xiaoxiao? I’d say there’s nothing small about you.”
His gaze shamelessly traveled downward before he reached out and gently squeezed her ample figure. Xiaoxiao’s face turned crimson, and she quickly clutched the blanket to her chest, pouting. “Young Master, please don’t tease me like that.”
Just then, the system’s voice suddenly rang out:
[Detected that the host’s actions align with those of a villain!]
[+1 Allocatable Talent Point!]
[Villain Points +10!]
[Congratulations! The host has received a lottery draw opportunity. Would you like to use it?]
Ning Jie’s eyes lit up. A real, allocatable talent point!
And a lottery draw, too!
This crazy system was finally being useful!
“Draw! Give me the prize!”
[Ding! Thank you for your participation. Better luck next time!]
Ning Jie nearly slapped himself. He had let his guard down. He quickly said, “Use my talent points! Increase my luck! From now on, put all talent points into luck!”
[Ding! Luck +1!]
Ning Jie finally felt a little more at ease. As a villain, what he lacked the most compared to the protagonist was luck!
If he wanted to take down the protagonist, he could slowly build his strength, but his luck couldn’t lag too far behind!
That was why he had demanded the ability to allocate talent points freely.
After a brief moment of intimacy, Ning Jie lightly ran his finger across Xiaoxiao’s delicate nose and instructed, “You did well. Help me get dressed.”
“Yes.”
Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to ask him to stay.
…
A short while later, Ning Jie stepped out of his room.
He was clad in a black satin robe with silver embroidery along the edges. A jade belt fastened around his waist, and he held an ivory folding fan in his hand. A faint, disdainful smirk played on his lips, perfectly embodying the image of a villain.
As he walked along the corridor, the women of Xiaoxiang Pavilion gazed at him with admiration. Ning Jie was a frequent guest here, known for his generosity, and he was also as handsome as Pan An, making him pleasant to the eyes.
Some bold women even approached him flirtatiously. Ning Jie, of course, welcomed them with open arms, his dexterous hands making them giggle and squeal.
When he reached the main hall, the madam of the brothel, Liang Mama, hurried over to greet him with a warm smile. “Oh my, Young Master Ning! Just look at you, full of energy! Were you satisfied with the girl I arranged for you last night?”
Ning Jie chuckled. “Not bad. But honestly, I was so drunk last night that even if you had arranged ten fair-skinned beauties for me, what difference would it have made?”
Liang Mama, who was well aware of his temperament, covered her mouth with a giggle. “Oh, Young Master, don’t be upset. As long as you enjoy yourself, any girl in Xiaoxiang Pavilion is yours for the taking. If none of them please you, I, too, am skilled in all eighteen bedroom arts and can personally—”
Before she could finish, Ning Jie immediately cut her off with a frown. “Enough! I have no interest in older women!”
With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and strode out.
It was hard to believe that back on Blue Star, he was just an ignorant young man who clicked “Ignore the risk, continue browsing.” Now, in this world, he was smoothly navigating places of pleasure!
It was already late March. Whether inside or outside Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the signs of spring were evident.
As Ning Jie stepped outside, he admired the budding willow trees along the roadside, savoring the arrival of spring.
But suddenly, his surroundings twisted and blurred, and a figure appeared before him.
It was a woman of unparalleled beauty.
She wore a loose pink Daoist robe embroidered with celestial cranes and held an ancient wine flask in her right hand.
Bathed in sunlight, her flawless figure seemed to radiate a sacred glow. Her pristine robes fluttered in the breeze, accentuating her graceful curves.
She stood in the middle of the street, looking like a celestial goddess descended from the heavens—her elegance as ethereal as drifting clouds veiling the moon, as mesmerizing as a swirling gust of falling snow.
The passersby couldn’t help but stop and marvel at her.
Was this a fairy descending to the mortal realm?
She was breathtakingly beautiful, but what truly overwhelmed them was the terrifying aura she exuded!
Even Ning Jie was momentarily stunned.
He recognized this peerless woman all too well. She was Qiu Yuebai, one of the great elders of the Melodic Sound Sect—and in his past life, she had been his master!
But why was she here?
At this point in the timeline…
It shouldn’t be possible!
According to the original plot, Qiu Yuebai should still be at Melodic Sound Sect, and he hadn’t even joined the sect yet. By all logic, she shouldn’t know him at all!
Why was she blocking him at the entrance of a brothel?
Ning Jie was utterly confused!
At the same time, fear crept into his heart.
Everyone knew that the Melodic Sound Sect only accepted female disciples. In his past life, he had gone to great lengths to become Qiu Yuebai’s disciple!
During the sect’s recruitment, he had used his exceptional cross-dressing skills to sneak in.
(Author’s note: I swear I don’t cross-dress! No way!)
Then, during the new disciples’ trial, he had showcased remarkable talent, catching Qiu Yuebai’s attention and becoming her direct disciple.
After that, he displayed the utmost devotion, launching a relentless campaign to win her favor.
Eventually, after countless instances of questionable filial piety, he finally gained her trust!
But in the end, when his crazy system demanded it, he had no choice but to push Qiu Yuebai off a cliff while she was at her weakest, ending her life.
Of course, Ning Jie had felt reluctant.
After all, they had spent years together—he wasn’t completely heartless!
But he had no choice. If he failed the system’s missions, he wouldn’t receive its rewards.
Without the system, he would remain trapped in this immortal cultivation world, doomed to be killed by the rising protagonist, Lin Bei!
Such was the fate of villains!
Worse still, in the end, all the female leads would inevitably fall for that damn protagonist!
Lin Bei’s ascension had come at the cost of sacrificing the entire Tianyan Continent—including the female leads!
Rather than let that happen, Ning Jie would rather play the villain himself!
Still, every time he thought about this ridiculous plot, he couldn’t help but complain.
What was the author thinking when they wrote this? Had they been bombarded with hate mail from readers?
Then again, the author was pretty unlucky too.
Rumor had it that while finishing the novel’s final chapter, they got cheated on.
Their girlfriend called them on video while gasping for breath—only for them to accidentally activate the camera…
