"Of course it's to—"
Dantai Jinglian moved even closer. Su Lingyuan's heartbeat grew faster and faster, as if something terrifying was about to happen the very next second. Her heart was practically leaping into her throat.
The next moment—
"Add me as a friend."
With a buzz, Su Lingyuan felt her mind go completely blank.
"Huh?"
She let out an instinctive cry of confusion.
"Huh what? Of course I mean adding as a friend. I've already sent the request—Little Lingyuan, remember to accept it," Dantai Jinglian said with a delighted smile.
After leaving those words behind, she departed with graceful, swaying steps.
Only Su Lingyuan was left behind, standing dumbfounded on the spot with the expression of someone who had just been thoroughly toyed with.
It was only after a long while that she finally came back to her senses. Realizing she'd been played, Su Lingyuan ground her teeth and muttered like a little devil:
"Bad woman! I swear I'll never be on good terms with you!"
...
Elsewhere, after Chu Ge returned to his room, he was just about to cultivate when the system's notification suddenly rang out.
[Ding! Due to the host's actions, a close relative of the Son of Fortune ***—Luo Feipeng—has died. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000 Villain Points.]
Just as Chu Ge was feeling puzzled, the notification sounded three more times in quick succession.
[Ding! Due to the host's actions… Luo Qingyu has died. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 7,000 Villain Points.]
[Ding! Due to the host's actions… Luo Tianhai has died. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 15,000 Villain Points.]
[Ding! The Son of Fortune *** has suffered a reduction in power; his fate has been diminished. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10,000 Villain Points.]
Chu Ge was first startled, then overjoyed.
A full 35,000 Villain Points had landed just like that.
This unseen, unknown Son of Fortune was truly generous!
Looking at the system panel, where his Villain Points had already accumulated to over sixty thousand, Chu Ge felt rather pleased. With just twenty thousand more, he would be able to upgrade the Diary module once again.
Once it reached Level Four, new functions would be unlocked.
Suppressing the urge to go milk Ye Chen for another wave, Chu Ge began to seriously contemplate the source of these Villain Points.
After a brief moment of thought, he arrived at a guess.
This unknown Son of Fortune was most likely a member of the Luo family and had extremely close ties with Luo Feipeng and the other two.
It was very possible that even the scheme to seize the Huanglong Seal was connected to this person.
And because that matter had involved him, leading to the deaths of the three Luo family members who were close to that Son of Fortune, this entire chain of Villain Point rewards had been triggered.
As for why these Villain Points were not issued immediately—
It was likely because that unknown Son of Fortune had not learned of the matter right away.
Judging from the current situation, the news must have finally been transmitted back to the Luo family, and the other party had now learned of it.
'Let me deal with Ye Chen first,' Chu Ge thought.
He had no intention of facing two Sons of Fortune at the same time.
The Luo family's Son of Fortune was currently in the shadows, while he himself was in the open.
Waiting for the opponent to step into the light of his own accord was the wisest strategy.
As for whether that person would take the initiative to appear within his sight, Chu Ge had not the slightest worry.
After suffering a loss, if one did not seek revenge, then one could hardly be called a Son of Fortune.
What's more, this time they had not obtained the Huanglong Seal and had even lost several clan members of considerable status. The Luo family would definitely not let the matter rest so easily.
In the future, they would undoubtedly devise even more schemes for the sake of the Huanglong Seal.
Perhaps it wouldn't be long before that Son of Fortune would emerge from the shadows and appear in Chu Ge's field of vision.
Thinking of this, Chu Ge also raised his guard inwardly.
Although he was currently staying within the Taihuang Sacred Land, with a Saint Lord–level existence like Luo Huangjun backing him, and could remain safe and sound—
Open spears were easy to avoid; hidden arrows were hard to guard against.
Luo Huangjun was strong—extremely strong—but she was not invincible beneath the heavens.
At this early stage, it was perfectly fine for him to lie low for a while. But once he grew truly powerful, Chu Ge still preferred to personally resolve his own problems—and personally deal with those who created them.
