The next morning.
Lu Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Luo Qingyan's pretty face, which even had a lingering blush that hadn't completely faded.
This time, he finally woke up earlier than her!
Good stamina? Strong endurance?
Next time, I'll have to thoroughly deal with you again!
As if sensing Lu Cheng's gaze, she unconsciously let out a cute whimper, snuggling further into his warm embrace, holding him even tighter.
Lu Cheng looked at her, savoring the academic exchange about "Yin-Yang harmony" and "strengthening the foundation" they had last night, and couldn't help but smile.
He was about to stretch and relive some of the high-difficulty lessons they had unlocked last night.
Then, the pleasant system prompt finally sounded in his mind.
Ding! Detected that Qin Yu, the Son of Destiny, has been successfully eliminated by the Host! His core destiny as the protagonist of the "Invincible Down the Mountain" trope has been completely stripped! Villain Points +80000!
Ding! The storyline related to "Invincible Down the Mountain, Senior Sister, Here I Come" has been completely terminated!
Ding! The Host has successfully plundered destiny, and the destiny rating has increased! Current rating: C+!
Ding! Congratulations, Host! Due to continuously eliminating multiple Sons of Destiny and causing significant impact on the current timeline, the Host has achieved a special accomplishment—"Protagonist Killer"! Unlocking system function: Script Editor!
Script Editor: After the Host foresees the Son of Destiny's plot, they can consume Villain Points to "edit" that plot. For example, changing the location where a small event occurs, adding a negative status to a certain character, or even spending a large amount of Villain Points to erase a segment of the plot.
Another new function unlocked?
Not bad!
Qin Yu, this simpleton, although not very bright, still contributed quite a generous reward!
These eighty thousand Villain Points mean he didn't die in vain.
This Script Editor sounds much more interesting than direct fighting and killing, and it also aligns more with his elegant style.
With a thought, Lu Cheng opened his information panel.
Host: Lu Cheng
Identity: Heavenly Mandate Great Villain
System Functions: Plot Prediction, Destiny Plunder, System Store, Script Editor
Host Abilities: Qi Observation Technique, Primordial Chaos Primordial Art (Incomplete), Shadowless Fist, Thirteen Chapters of Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupressure

Seeing this, Lu Cheng remembered that "extremely effective" good thing he had used on Su Yang last time. He opened the system store and quickly found that special skill.
Sleight of Hand: When within three meters of the target, you can steal treasures from them. Success rate is related to the target's combat power. If combat power is lower than the Host, the success rate is 100%.
Price: 20000 Villain Points.
That's it! Buy it!
Ding! Skill "Sleight of Hand" purchased successfully, consuming 20000 Villain Points!
A unique information flow, as if capable of forming a subtle connection with space, surged into Lu Cheng's mind.
He felt as if his hands had become even more flexible?
It was as if, if he wished, he could effortlessly and unknowingly borrow something from someone who brushed past him... With this skill, whenever he encountered a Son of Destiny with an unlimited black card or some family heirloom in the future, wouldn't he be able to fleece them dry?
He remembered very clearly that just a trial card had allowed him to take a five hundred million black card from the god of war live-in son-in-law's pocket.
It's simply an essential divine skill for home travel, murder and looting—oh no, for diligent wealth creation!
Qin Yu was dead, and all the aftermath work concerning him proceeded silently.
No one would know where he went, nor would anyone know how or when he died.
After all, if news of his death spread, it would inevitably cause this good Senior Sister of Qin Yu, who was in his arms, to experience some unnecessary psychological pressure and moral burden.
What if she truly believed that she had personally pushed her incompetent junior brother to his doom?
Lu Cheng didn't want a trivial dead person to affect the female lead's mood, or even affect the atmosphere of his academic exchange with Luo Qingyan!
So, it was better to let him quietly and completely disappear from this world.
Just then, he suddenly remembered that his beloved younger sister and pure little girlfriend seemed to have an Immortal Emperor Ling Tian waiting for him.
Although he had snatched the "ten-thousand-year soul nourishing wood" from him last time, this arrogant Immortal Emperor should not give up easily, right?
He wondered if he had caused any more trouble during this time? It was time to unlock the next part of the plot, wasn't it?
He opened the plot prediction interface for "Ultimate Immortal Emperor in the City, Conquering All School Belles!".
Sure enough!
When he clicked on that script again, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the fog shrouding the second plot node had dissipated.
Plot Node (Two): In this incomplete world, Immortal Emperor Ling Tian, who was painstakingly searching for a method to restore his divine soul, by chance, heard that an reclusive family in the Demon City, the Shen Family, seemed to possess an ancient family heirloom—"profound yin cold jade"!
The Shen Family was once glorious, but now its talents are dwindling. The family heirloom "profound yin cold jade" has miraculous effects on repairing the divine soul, but no one in the Shen Family can use it.
The cold energy of the profound yin cold jade has been leaking out for years, and the Shen Family has become sparsely populated due to the cold energy's erosion. The eldest daughter, Shen Ning霜, has even suffered from a cold illness since childhood because of it.
Thus, Ling Tian actively approached the Shen Family under the pretext of helping Shen Ning霜, the eldest daughter of the Shen Family, treat her cold illness, the "Profound Yin Severed Meridians."
In reality, he intends to take Shen Ning霜, who also possesses the rare "Mystic Yin Body," as his "cold energy cauldron" during the treatment process!
And use the power of the supreme treasure, the "profound yin cold jade," to repair his shattered Immortal Emperor divine soul!
Shen Family, Shen Ning霜?
He seemed to have heard the name Shen Family somewhere before; it was a family famous for ancient martial arts, but now it had declined.
This Shen Ning霜 is also a Mystic Yin Body?
Our Immortal Emperor is truly blessed with female companionship.
It's just a pity... I, Lu Cheng, am not only a protagonist killer but also a cauldron collector!
Your cauldron, your supreme treasure?
Sorry, from now on, they are all mine!
