The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!

Chapter 299: Absurd Growth!

Yang Qingxi looked at the enormous balance with satisfaction.

[Foundation Building (Level 4): 40,000 Luck Points]

’Buy.’

Without the slightest hesitation, she started making purchases.

[Foundation Building (Level 5): 50,000 Luck Points]

’Don’t stop. Keep buying.’

...

[Foundation Building (Level 6): 60,000 Luck Points]

...

[Foundation Building (Level 7): 70,000 Luck Points]

...

[Foundation Building (Level 8): 80,000 Luck Points]

...

[Foundation Building (Level 9): 90,000 Luck Points]

...

Her aura continued rising one level after another without encountering even the slightest bottleneck. Then came the final purchase.

[Golden Core (Level 1): 100,000 Luck Points]

The enormous amount of spiritual energy surrounding her body suddenly compressed before undergoing a complete transformation.

*Boom!*

A powerful Golden Core Stage aura quietly spread throughout the room. Her cultivation had broken through.

[Balance: 14660 Luck Points]

Yang Qingxi slowly smiled with satisfaction.

’Finally...’

’My cultivation has caught up with Su Mo.’

Across from her, Song Meilin could only stare blankly.

She had cultivated for decades, risking her life countless times, even nearly died today just to forcefully break through into the Golden Core Realm.

Yet Yang Qingxi... Had quietly gone from Foundation Building Level Three...

To Foundation Building Level Four... Five... Six... Seven... Eight... Nine...

And finally...

Golden Core Level One!!?

Every breakthrough happened right before her eyes without the slightest difficulty.

Her breathing became increasingly chaotic.

"...How is this possible?"

She grabbed her own hair with both hands, tugging at it as though hoping the pain would wake her from a dream.

"No..."

"This can’t be real."

"It absolutely can’t."

Her eyes suddenly brightened.

"She must’ve been hiding her cultivation all along!"

"Yes."

"That has to be it."

"There isn’t any other explanation."

She repeatedly nodded to herself, desperately clinging to that conclusion.

Because if what she had just witnessed was real... Then what exactly had all those decades of painstaking cultivation been for?

Su Mo quietly glanced toward her with a sympathetic expression.

He didn’t bother correcting her.

Some truths... were simply too cruel.

Instead, his attention shifted back toward Yang Qingxi.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Without him realizing it, she had quietly accumulated so many Points.

How had she managed that? Had she been secretly saving them this entire time to surprise him at once?

The corner of his mouth slowly curved upward.

Well... she had definitely succeeded.

He was genuinely surprised.

---

At that moment, another notification suddenly echoed inside Yang Qingxi’s mind, causing her expression to pause ever so slightly.

[Ding! Your subordinate Zhang Xulin has completely taken over the King’s Palace Organization. Destiny Protagonist Ye Chen’s foundation has been destroyed.]

[Ye Chen’s Luck: -30]

[You have obtained 300 Luck Points!]

Yang Qingxi’s eyes flickered with surprise. Before she could even process the message, another series of notifications rapidly appeared one after another.

[Ding!]

[Ye Chen’s Current Luck: 0]

[Congratulations! You have completely plundered the Luck of Destiny Protagonist Ye Chen!]

[Ye Chen has lost the status of Destiny Protagonist and is no longer protected by Heaven. (Note: You may deal with him as you deem fit.)]

[You have received one Special Lottery Opportunity!]

A faint smile slowly appeared on Yang Qingxi’s lips.

What perfect timing.

Without wasting another moment, she gave the command inside her mind.

’System, start the lottery.’

A magnificent roulette instantly appeared before her consciousness, slowly revolving with countless rewards displayed across its surface. Every time she saw this lottery, she couldn’t help feeling a little excited because hidden among those rewards were absurdly powerful abilities capable of changing a cultivator’s fate.

There were legendary physiques like the Chaos Star Body.

There were bloodlines such as Divine Blood.

There were countless mysterious abilities and techniques that could easily drive any cultivator mad with desire.

Unfortunately...

Yang Qingxi knew her own luck far too well.

She had absolute confidence that Lady Luck would never stand on her side whenever something truly valuable appeared.

Sure enough, the spinning pointer completely ignored every dazzling special ability, skipped past the legendary physiques, brushed over the priceless treasures, and finally slowed down inside the techniques section.

It stopped.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained an S-Rank Earth Technique!]

Yang Qingxi quietly sighed.

’Well... I suppose an S-Rank technique isn’t bad either.’

She immediately opened the description.

[Earth Return (S-Rank): While standing upon the earth, the user continuously recovers spiritual energy and greatly increases recovery speed. Spiritual energy exhaustion becomes significantly less of a concern. The effectiveness depends upon the amount of spiritual energy present in the surrounding environment.]

Yang Qingxi read the description twice before thoughtfully nodding.

’A passive technique...’

’It’s actually very useful.’

Then she helplessly smiled.

’Too bad our world barely has any spiritual energy. Its effectiveness here will probably be greatly reduced.’

Just as she finished thinking, Su Mo’s inner voice entered her ears through her Heart Listening ability.

[Huh? Ye Chen’s luck has finally been completely emptied? That’s good. Now I’ve got another Subsystem Template available. Looks like I can recruit another hardworking employee. Hopefully my next check-in gives me something useful.]

Yang Qingxi’s lips twitched ever so slightly.

’Employee?’

’You mean work slave.’

Su Mo’s thoughts continued without the slightest pause.

[Maybe I should clean out Wu Chaochang’s luck too. He should still be suffering under the Misery Talisman, so I don’t need to waste time playing around anymore. Besides, the last time we met, I noticed he was carrying a Storage Ring. There might be something valuable inside. I should find an opportunity to get my hands on it.]

True to his personality, Su Mo never allowed an idea to remain merely an idea.

The moment the thought appeared, he immediately commanded several of his insects to search for Wu Chaochang’s current location.

Only a few moments later, the insects returned with information.

Wu Chaochang...was currently outside the Sect Master’s residence.

The insects had just witnessed him quietly sneaking out of the building.

Su Mo frowned slightly.

[What’s Wu Chaochang doing outside Wu Haruto’s residence?]

A strange thought suddenly surfaced inside his mind.

[Don’t tell me... he’s planning to kill that old man’s remaining son too?]

Hearing those thoughts, Yang Qingxi suddenly remembered something she had completely forgotten amidst everything that had happened today.

She had never told Su Mo what had become of Ye Chen.

Thinking of that, she immediately transmitted a spiritual message.

"Su Mo."

"I forgot to tell you something earlier."

"Wu Chaochang had raped Ye Chen ."

Su Mo’s eyes widened almost imperceptibly.

"Seriously?"

"Damn..."

His expression became rather complicated.

Those two enemies of his seemed determined to constantly surprise him in the strangest possible ways.

Still... It feels so ironic.

Back when Ye Chen had still been a man, Gu Xuan’s late girlfriend had suffered because of him and committed suicide.

Now... Life had unexpectedly gone full circle.

Su Mo silently decided not to think any further about that bizarre chain of events. Some things were simply too ridiculous to waste brainpower trying to understand.

Instead, he looked toward the others.

"We still need more preparations before facing Wu Taeyong."

Song Meilin had gradually recovered from the previous shock, although traces of exhaustion still lingered on her face. After taking a moment to organise her thoughts, she finally spoke.

"We can seek help from the Great Elder’s faction."

Both Su Mo and Yang Qingxi turned toward her.

"If they learn the truth, they’ll definitely stand with us." Song Meilin hesitated slightly before adding, "The only problem is... the Great Elder is an extremely stubborn person. I’m not sure he’ll believe us immediately."

Yang Qingxi quietly nodded.

"Granduncle does have... quite a troublesome personality."

Su Mo glanced toward the motionless Wu Yuna standing beside them before smiling faintly.

"With Madam Shen accompanying us...he’ll have no choice but to believe."

Song Meilin also nodded.

Wu Yuna’s existence alone was enough to overturn decades of accepted history.

No amount of denial could erase that fact.

Su Mo slowly stood up.

"Let’s go."

"By now...the lunch should’ve already been prepared."

At that very moment, the atmosphere inside the Sect Master’s office had become unusually tense.

Shen Kai slammed his palm against the table before glaring at Wu Haruto.

"Haruto!"

"Are you actually serious?"

"Those kids are my family!"

Wu Haruto calmly met his furious gaze.

"Kai."

"I truly didn’t know they were related to you."

He sighed quietly.

"Besides, I only wanted to find them so I could explain the misunderstanding between us."

Shen Kai immediately let out a cold laugh.

"Explain?"

"Haruto, do you honestly think I’ll believe that?"

His sharp eyes remained fixed on the Sect Master.

"I know your personality far too well."

"You approached them first because you wanted to recruit them."

"When they refused..."

"Now you are resorting to force."

Wu Haruto remained silent.

His expression barely changed despite Shen Kai effortlessly exposing the thoughts.

Seeing that silence, Shen Kai only became more convinced.

"I knew it."

Wu Haruto finally spoke.

"It’s all for the sect."

"And for the future of humanity."

"We need their strength if we’re going to continue fighting the Pishachas."

Hearing those familiar words, Shen Kai gradually became quiet.
