Chapter 4: The Villain Appears! The Furious Protagonist! Master: Bah! You Vulgar Pervert!:
When the girls heard this, their eyes instantly focused on Lu Yun in the crowd.
After seeing how easily the protagonist bewitched so many disciples, they realized for the first time the terrifying aura of the protagonist. They all hoped Lu Yun would bully the protagonist and vent their frustration.
“Master, you can’t do that!” Lu Yun’s voice rang out, instantly grabbing everyone’s attention.
[Oh! Is this what it feels like to be the center of attention?]
[Being a villain isn’t bad at all.]
Girls: …
Lu Yun cleared his throat and stood confidently with his hands behind his back. He arrogantly declared, “Master, the country has its laws, and the sect has its rules. Rules are rules!”
“If he’s late, it means he has no fate with the immortal sect. You can’t break the sect’s rules for this child.”
The protagonist, Chu Xuan, listened to Lu Yun’s words, but his expression remained calm. He even showed a hint of shame, which made the other disciples uneasy. But no one noticed. When Chu Xuan bowed his head toward the sect master, a sly smirk appeared at the corners of his mouth.
“System, is this the first villain I’ll face?”
[Yes, he’s the villain who will fuel your desire to grow stronger.]
“Interesting,” Chu Xuan mused in his mind. “I didn’t expect to travel to a novel world and become the protagonist. And…”
His thoughts drifted to Ye Qingxian.
“There are so many beauties for me to get …” Chu Xuan grinned, thinking about the system’s introduction of Ye Qingxian: “The most beautiful woman in the East, a powerful cultivator, born with the heavenly fragrance of the deer horn… she’s made for me.”
Though Ye Qingxian couldn’t read his thoughts, she felt a sudden chill and instinctively glanced at him.
Chu Xuan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately used the charm ability given to him by the system—a technique that worked on both men and women.
But to his surprise, Ye Qingxian’s eyes didn’t soften. Instead, they were filled with… disgust?
Chu Xuan was momentarily confused, but he quickly rationalized it. “Maybe the difference in our cultivation levels is too big.” He thought, dismissing the moment.
He shifted his attention back to Lu Yun, amused by the villain’s antics. “Anyway, with the protagonist’s aura, I’ll dumb him down in no time. According to the plot, I’ll join the Mystic Jade Sect and become Ye Qingxian’s direct disciple.”
With that thought, Chu Xuan bowed with guilt. “Master, I know I’m late, but I’m devoted to Dao. Please, give me another chance.”
“Give him another chance?!” Before the sect master could respond, Lu Yun jumped in, sneering at Chu Xuan. “If everyone acted as recklessly as you, why have rules at all?”
“Look at yourself! Do you think the master will break the rules for someone like you?”
Lu Yun’s words struck like a bolt of lightning.
Ye Qingxian was stunned, the sect master’s hidden hand trembled, and the other disciples were left speechless.
Only Chu Xuan felt like he had swallowed a fly. His face twitched uncontrollably.
“You! How dare you—”
“How dare I what?” Lu Yun interrupted, leaning into his role as the villain. “I’m just being real! What’s wrong with that?”
Girls: Puff! You call this ‘real’?
“I just can’t stand you acting like a victim and begging for special treatment,” Lu Yun continued. “Everyone else lined up on time, but you think you’re special because you can play the pitiful card?”
“Now you’re late, and you’re acting like some wronged wife, batting your big eyes! What? Do you want to be a green tea watch*? You’re a man! Stop acting like a fragile woman!”
Lu Yun’s insults were relentless, and Chu Xuan’s face turned green with anger. He was the protagonist, after all. From the moment he arrived in this world, he had been favored by the system, blessed with natural treasures, and destined for greatness. He had expected a smooth journey—so why was this villain standing in his way?
Although he knew that, according to the plot, he would eventually defeat Lu Yun, being humiliated like this was infuriating. Just as Chu Xuan was about to explode, the system intervened.
[Host, stay calm. Although he’s a villain, he’s actually helping you. Your early cultivation, mid-level opportunities, and even rare treasures all depend on him. Without him, your progress will slow down.]
“Puff!” Chu Xuan spat out blood. “So, I can’t even kill him? I have to let him bully me?!”
[Yes.] The system replied flatly.
Chu Xuan trembled with anger, but he could only stand there, taking Lu Yun’s verbal assault.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingxian and the others began to relax. Though Lu Yun’s words were crude, they brought a strange sense of satisfaction. Sometimes, to deal with shameless people, one need someone equally shameless.
Ye Qingxian: This pervert… but he’s not entirely useless.
Lan Yurou: What a rude man, but it’s so satisfying to hear. That b*****d of a protagonist deserves this.
Others: I hope the sect master doesn’t kill Lu Yun for this…
As Lu Yun’s rant continued, Chu Xuan’s frustration mounted.
“I can’t take it anymore! I want to kill him!” Chu Xuan fumed.
[You can’t.] The system reminded him.
Chu Xuan’s face grew darker by the second. “Then at least let me teach him a lesson!”
“Wait until the sect master allows you to participate in the disciple ceremony. Then, you’ll have a chance to fight him according to the plot.”
Chu Xuan’s eyes gleamed. “Alright! When that time comes, I’ll teach him a lesson and make him regret ever crossing me!”
[Remember, you have to lose in the end. This will help Ye Qingxian feel protective of you.] The system added.
“Puff!!!” Chu Xuan nearly vomited blood again. “This damn protagonist role! Whoever wants it can take it!”
Just as Chu Xuan was about to give up, the system relented.
[Fine, you can teach him a lesson. But you must lose today, so the plot stays on track.]
Chu Xuan’s hope was reignited. “Are you serious?”
“Yes, as long as the plot unfolds correctly.”
“Alright!” Chu Xuan gritted his teeth, the madness in his eyes intensifying. “I don’t mind losing. But first, I’ll give him a good thrashing and make him regret ever insulting me!”
Meanwhile, Lu Yun was starting to grow impatient.
[What’s wrong with the sect master? Why hasn’t he interrupted yet?]
[I’m running out of insults!]
Girls: …
[Even though I’ve already said everything that’s on my mind, if I keep going, the plot won’t move forward!]
[And what’s up with the protagonist’s harem?]
[Why aren’t they stopping me?]
Girls: We’re not stopping you! Keep going!
[This protagonist is such a coward. I’ve insulted him to his face, and he’s not even fighting back!]
[If I were such a coward, I’d find a rock and bash my head in.]
Girls: …
Finally, after nearly having a stroke, the sect master spoke, “Alright, we’ll give him a chance. Chang Xia, continue.”
[Oh, thank goodness, it’s finally over!]
[My throat’s sore from all this shouting.]
Girls: …
[I must have looked pretty cool back there, right? Haha, this first little plot is done. Time for the next phase: beating him up!]
Girls: …
