Transmigrated, from Son of Fortune to Villain?
Inside a magnificent, gilded hall.
People already filled the seats on both sides.
A closer look showed that every face was anxious.
As though they had seen or heard something terrifying.
Even as fear invaded their minds, the people in the hall kept their heads lowered.
They dared not raise their heads to look at the young man in the seat of honor.
As though looking at him a moment longer would be an affront to him.
He wore white robes adorned with qilins and had a handsome, dignified face.
Inscrutable divine light flowed through a pair of unfathomably deep black eyes.
He was like a god on high.
A young woman stood below him.
She wore a pale blue dress beneath a layer of pure white gauze, which showed off her graceful figure to perfection.
She was like a heavenly immortal descended to the mortal world, her hands soft as tender reeds, her skin like congealed cream.
"Brother Juetian, I really do think of you as my brother. I know you've been very good to me all these years, and my family has grown rapidly thanks to your help."
"I thought I had feelings for you too, but now I know that I only feel for you as I would for family. I don't have any other feelings."
Her clear, cool voice was like pearls and jade falling to the ground, devoid of any inflection.
As soon as Li Xi finished speaking.
Voices of opposition rose in the hall.
"Li Xi, what are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to the divine son. It's your blessing that he has taken a fancy to you, and a blessing for our Li family too."
"Li Xi, the Li family has treated you well. Can't you spare a thought for the family?"
"The divine son is like a divine dragon above the nine heavens. Now he wants you to serve him. That's a blessing our Li family has earned over tens of thousands of years. Do you really have to make our ancestors burst out of their graves before you're satisfied?"
Li Xi was troubled to hear her family's words.
She didn't know how mouths at forty-seven degrees could utter such icy words. If not for her, her family could never have grown so quickly and become a top family in the Tianyang Domain.
Though it was only a top family on the surface.
That was only because the young man in the seat of honor had sent a Heavenly Venerable to hold the fort for her family.
One had to know that in the Immortal Domain, the cultivation realms, from lowest to highest, were:
Body Tempering, Qi Sea, Profound Core, Primordial Yang, Void Insight, Divine Ability, Dao Palace.
King-Sealing, Emperor-Sealing, Heaven-Knowing, Shattered Void, Venerable, Saint, Great Emperor.
The Venerable realm was further divided into Human Venerable, Earth Venerable, and Heavenly Venerable.
The Saint realm was divided into Saint, Saint King, and Saint Emperor.
Every realm was divided into nine levels.
Each level was a heaven unto itself.
In the present Immortal Domain, Great Emperor experts had not walked the world for tens of thousands of years.
Saints, too, remained hidden from sight.
This young man had sent a Heavenly Venerable expert to hold the fort for her family.
She guessed that, though it seemed to be for the protection of his family, it was actually to protect her.
She knew that, in today's matter, nothing her family said was of any use. The young man in the seat of honor had the final say.
He had always indulged her and cared for her deeply.
As long as he spoke, not one person in her family would dare object.
The words of the people below brought the young man in the seat of honor back to his senses.
I never thought I'd actually transmigrate.
Di Juetian came to his senses, and his eyes flickered.
Heaven has really been good to me. I never thought I'd survive.
In his previous life, Di Juetian had been a mercenary, accustomed to life and death.
During a battle, he had let his guard down for a moment and been ambushed by a sneaky sixth.
As he watched the Gatling gun bullets flying toward him.
Di Juetian knew he was bound to die.
When he opened his eyes again, he had become Di Juetian of the Immortal Domain.
After sorting through the memories in his mind, Di Juetian was also shocked.
Looks like destiny is on my side in this life. I've become the protagonist of the Immortal Domain.
He looked at the woman.
Di Juetian smiled casually. It was clearly a gentle smile.
Yet everyone felt the temperature in the hall drop rapidly.
As though it had turned into ice ten thousand years old.
Everyone in the hall felt a crushing pressure.
Di Juetian looked at the woman. From the memories in his mind, he learned that she possessed a Nine Yin Saint Body.
A natural-born cauldron.
Di Juetian had nurtured her for the sake of his own cultivation.
What was more, this woman was a white lotus.
But Di Juetian didn't care.
Whether he had helped her family or doted on her, it had all been for himself.
Di Juetian could barely suppress his physique any longer, so even though this forbidden fruit was not yet ripe, he had to pluck it.
Though this was not the right time.
He had no choice. Only by breaking through could he suppress the Chaos Demon Qi in his body.
As for whether he could suppress it, even his predecessor had not known.
Di Juetian had wanted the woman before him to serve him, but she had laid her cards on the table.
She said she didn't like her.
Di Juetian had spent the past few days suppressing the Chaos Demon Qi in his body, but unexpectedly, he had failed to suppress it today after all.
He had breathed his last, and Di Juetian from Blue Star had taken over.
"Brother Juetian, I know you're the best to me. You'll agree to what I said too. I told you before."
"You can think of me as your most beloved little sister."
"And I'll think of you as my most beloved brother."
Hearing this, Di Juetian remained expressionless, though inwardly he wanted to laugh.
She wants to catch a white wolf with her bare hands, to have it both ways.
Di Juetian had seen plenty of people like her.
"What if I don't agree?"
Di Juetian spoke softly.
His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder crashing down in the hall.
The people seated in the hall could no longer sit still and kept signaling to Li Xi with their eyes.
Li Xi's expression changed too. In the past, whatever she said, Di Juetian had always agreed.
That had given her the illusion that whatever she said or did, Di Juetian would agree to it.
"Brother Juetian, if you keep teasing Xi'er, Xi'er will get angry!"
After saying this, Li Xi even turned her head to one side with a haughty pout!
Di Juetian remained impassive.
According to the novels I've read, now that I've transmigrated, I've got to be the protagonist of a world at the very least. Why would I care about a white lotus like you?
As for the Chaos Demon Qi, Di Juetian didn't care. In the novels of his previous life, what protagonist couldn't turn danger into good fortune?
Just as Di Juetian was deep in thought.
A figure walked in.
He had delicate features, an unhurried stride, and divine light in his eyes.
A powerful confidence suffused the young man.
From the moment this figure walked in.
Li Xi's gaze changed. Shock appeared in her eyes, followed by joy and shyness.
The man looked at Li Xi, his eyes full of affection too.
"Leave the rest to me."
The man said this to Li Xi.
Then he stepped forward, stopping a hundred paces from Di Juetian.
Their eyes met.
"You're Di Juetian, the one Xi'er told me about, right? Thank you for taking care of Xi'er. Sorry for the trouble. From now on, I'll take care of her."
The young man who spoke radiated powerful confidence, along with a hint of smugness!
Di Juetian was about to speak.
A grand, icy voice exploded in his mind.
