In a VIP ward of a hospital in the Demon City, Young Master Lu Cheng, who had just experienced a hail of bullets and a heroic rescue, was still feigning weakness, leaning against the hospital bed.
His injured left shoulder was now covered with a sterile bandage.
Song Zhiyi, like a thoughtful wife, was by Lu Cheng's bedside, personally peeling an apple for him.
Her beautiful eyes, still slightly red from worry, were now filled with an intense, undisguised love!
"It's all my fault... It's all my fault..."
"If it wasn't to save me, Lu Cheng wouldn't have been injured..."
"He lost so much blood... It must hurt a lot..."
"I... I must take good care of him!"
Amidst this ambiguous atmosphere filled with pink bubbles, Lu Cheng's mind was continuously filled with pleasant system notifications!
[Ding! Ji Bochang, the Child of Destiny, committed suicide due to the complete failure of his 'ultimate script', and his related storyline has been completely terminated! Villain Points +60000! Plundered some of his destiny!]
[Ding! Host's plunder of destiny has caused the destiny rating to increase, currently C!]
[Congratulations to the Host, you have officially unlocked the Advanced System Shop!]
Sixty thousand Villain Points, even more than the Dragon King, it seems this blow wasn't taken in vain.
Looking at his balance of 105,000 Villain Points, Lu Cheng opened the system shop. The last opportunity he bought the Dream Weaver of the Past, and now he could finally buy whatever he wanted.
Considering his current opponents, both Qin Yu and the god of war live-in son-in-law Su Yang, were genuine peak-stage Huajin masters.
Especially Su Yang, who was battle-hardened and exuded a chilling aura, definitely not someone to be underestimated.
How could he deal with such 'destined protagonists' blessed with destiny without absolute suppression in cultivation? What if he messed up? Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?
So, Lu Cheng directly typed that familiar cultivation method name into the shop's search bar—"Eight-Section Brocade (Advanced)"!
However!
When the search results popped up, Lu Cheng was slightly taken aback.
The list did not show the "Eight-Section Brocade (Advanced)" or "Eight-Section Brocade (Ultimate Invincible Version)" that he had imagined.
Instead, there was a secret manual emanating a gentle golden light and filled with Daoist charm?
On the cover of the book were five characters with an arcane aura, "Primordial Chaos Origin Art."
[Primordial Chaos Origin Art (Incomplete): A supreme mental cultivation method created by a peerless mighty figure to temper the physiques of mortals. It encompasses everything and can evolve into thousands of methods. This is an incomplete version, only containing the foundation-building part. Cultivating it to great success can lead directly to the 'Dan Jin' perfect realm and lay the most solid supreme Dao foundation for subsequent cultivation!]
[Note: This cultivation method is the original complete form of "Eight-Section Brocade". Its cultivation principles are inherited in the same vein, and the Host can seamlessly connect and perfectly cultivate it.]
[Price: 100,000 Villain Points.]
After reading this introduction, Lu Cheng first fell into a three-second silence.
Immediately after... he started laughing heartily in his mind, feeling as if he had been constipated for a month and finally found relief.
"Finally, I don't have to do that elderly health exercise, the Eight-Section Brocade!"
For Lu Cheng, a 'destined great villain' who valued his image above life and had elegance ingrained in his bones, making him practice that health exercise, which only old men and women in parks did every day, would severely damage his glorious and magnificent image!
Now it was good, "Primordial Chaos Origin Art"! Listen to that name, that prestige, that charm!
This was a truly divine art that matched his noble status and was presentable!
As for the high price of 100,000 points, which almost emptied his wallet?
Heh heh, in the face of the huge temptation to get rid of the "elderly health exercise," was that even a problem?
Buy it, must buy it!
Lu Cheng, without hesitation, silently chanted in his mind: "System! Purchase 'Primordial Chaos Origin Art (Incomplete)'!"
[Ding! Purchase of 'Primordial Chaos Origin Art' successful! Consumed 100,000 Villain Points! The cultivation method has automatically perfectly merged and upgraded with "Eight-Section Brocade"!]
Boom—!!!!!!
A terrifying force that reshaped the universe instantly erupted from the depths of Lu Cheng's Dantian!
It was a higher level of power, and he could even feel that it was a light golden energy, flowing like the surging Yangtze River through his limbs, bones, and meridians!
He felt that all his tendons, bones, muscles, and even every cell were undergoing a complete transformation under the baptism of this pure and refined energy!
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host, due to the completion of the cultivation method's origin, your martial arts realm has successfully broken through the barrier of peak-stage Huajin and officially entered 'Dan Jin Initial Stage'.]
This is... Dan Jin?
Lu Cheng slowly spread his palm, feeling the abundant and powerful energy within his body!
He even felt that the graze wound on his shoulder, caused by the sniper bullet, had already silently and quickly healed.
This feeling was truly amazing!
After breaking through to Dan Jin, the unparalleled joy made Lu Cheng's mood reach its peak!
He turned his head and looked at Song Zhiyi, who was beside him, appearing a bit flustered by his sudden change in aura.
Looking at her beautiful, crystal-like eyes and her delicate, alluring, rosy lips like ripe cherries... he reached out and wrapped an arm around Song Zhiyi's soft, slender waist, possessively pulling her petite yet surprisingly elastic body into his embrace!
Then, he lowered his head!
At the moment when the little pink-haired girl's eyes widened in extreme shock and shyness, even forgetting to resist!
He kissed her without hesitation!
...Mm... So soft... So sweet... And with a hint of... Hmm, a faint strawberry flavor?
Who knows how much time passed.
So long that Song Zhiyi felt like she was about to suffocate from lack of oxygen.
Only then did Lu Cheng, still unsatisfied, slowly release her rosy, cherry-like lips, which were already slightly swollen from his kisses.
Looking at the little pink-haired girl in his arms, whose eyes were hazy as if she were drunk, and who could only gasp for air while leaning against him... Lu Cheng suddenly realized something.
Uh... Was he a bit too impulsive just now?
This seemed to be the little pink-haired girl's first kiss?
And Song Zhiyi, held in his arms?
After experiencing the initial shock, shyness, and a blank, frozen state of mind, she now felt Lu Cheng's dominant male hormones and the lingering "afterglow" on her lips... She even... subconsciously extended her small, delicate tongue and lightly licked her slightly hot lips... Her already watery, beautiful eyes were now like they were covered with a thin mist, full of lingering haziness and... hmm... an anticipation for another time?
Lu Cheng looked at her infinitely shy, adorable appearance, ready for him to pluck.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently caress Song Zhiyi's delicate cheek with his thumb, leaning close to her ear and speaking in a voice only they could hear:
"Tonight."
"Your place? Or my place?"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Lu Cheng's words, Song Zhiyi felt her heart almost leap out of her throat!
She was so shy she wished she could immediately find a hole to crawl into!
But her body and inner feelings were far more honest than her brain.
She buried her already crimson face in Lu Cheng's chest, not daring to look into his eyes.
Then, with a faint, shy voice, she softly hummed in affirmation.
No explicit answer, but it was the best answer, wasn't it?
