Feeling Like I'm Shaking

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the villain mission: Sneaking a peek at Fairy Lin Qingwan while she was bathing.]

[Rewards: 1. Notoriety Points +500, Current total: 5000 (Can be used for lucky draws and prize redemption), 2. One Body Tempering Elixir (Exclusive to Pure Martial Warriors).]

[Please continue to strive, Host, and advance on the path of a great villain unprecedented in history!]

"The rewards are this generous?"

Riding a Spiritual Energy Horse in the air, Jiang Lin was a little surprised. He had only taken a quick glance at Senior Sister Lin bathing. Was it because Senior Sister Lin was beautiful?

"Never mind, I'll head back to the Sect to report."

With a shout, riding the horse formed from Spiritual Qi, Jiang Lin quickly flew towards the Sun Moon Demonic Sect in Wutong Province.

There were a total of Nine Provinces in the world, and Wutong Province had the smallest area. The Sun Moon Divine Sect ranked in the middle among the demonic sects in Wutong Province. Although it wasn't a small sect, it wasn't considered large either.

After traveling for three days and three nights, Jiang Lin returned to Twin Pearl Peak, where he cultivated.

"Little Linlin~~~~"

As soon as Jiang Lin landed, a woman in a white gauze Butterfly Dress rushed to hug him.

"Master, please maintain some decorum."

Jiang Lin really wanted to push her away, but he couldn't...

"It's okay, it's okay, Little Linlin, are you hurt?"

Lifting her beautiful head from Jiang Lin's embrace, the woman's eyes rippled like autumn water. Her exquisite face was flawless, and every blink of her snow-white eyelashes made one want to pluck them off...

"I'm fine, but Master, if you keep hugging me like this, I'm going to suffocate."

"Ah... sorry."

The woman named Jiang Yuni reluctantly let go, and tidied Jiang Lin's collar.

"Here, Master, these are four Dragon Veins I found in a Secret Realm recently. Please submit them quickly, and this year's quota should be met."

Having caught his breath, Jiang Lin took out the four Dragon Veins from his Storage Ring. A surge of Spiritual Power permeated the entire Twin Pearl Peak Summit.

Every peak in the Sun Moon Divine Sect had a villain quota, much like tasks assigned by the System, or simply put, performance metrics. If the performance was not up to par, everyone on that peak would be held accountable, or even have their mountain peak repossessed. Although Twin Pearl Peak only had Jiang Lin and Jiang Yuni...

However, Twin Pearl Peak was his only home in this world. No matter what, his home couldn't be taken away...

Twin Pearl Peak had failed to meet its quota for three consecutive years. No, it should be said they had zero performance... In the fourth year, Twin Pearl Peak was to be repossessed. Thus, to pay off the debt in one go, Jiang Lin had very apologetically infiltrated the Dragon Gate Sect and then, very apologetically, retrieved these four Dragon Veins.

Although he felt sorry, he could only repay them later if he found any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"They are indeed pure Dragon Veins, with abundant Spiritual Qi, thick and long. But Little Lin, did you really find them yourself? Stealing is not good."

"Master, we are people of the Demonic Sect..."

"That's still not good!"

"Alright, I did find them."

"Really?"

"Yes! Really!"

They looked at each other for three seconds, and Jiang Yuni broke into a smile, "I believe you."

Jiang Lin sighed. Fortunately, his Master was beautiful, naive, and easily fooled.

Jiang Yuni pointed at the four dragon-shaped (Jiang Lin felt they looked more like radishes) Dragon Veins floating between them. Jiang Yuni repeatedly examined them with her slender hands.

"Here, Little Lin, we need to hide these four Dragon Veins well. They can help you break through to the Sea Gazing Realm later. If you practice your fist techniques, they might even help you forge a pure Martial Courage for a Pure Martial Warrior. Owooo... Ow..."

Before Jiang Yuni could finish, Jiang Lin flicked her beautiful head with a chestnut. Jiang Yuni held her head with both hands, pouting her small mouth like a squirrel, looking up at Jiang Lin with resentful, watery eyes.

"Master, what are you talking about? If the Dragon Veins are gone, our home will be gone. Forget it, I'll submit them myself later. Maybe I can even apply for some more funding. Our house needs repairs..." Jiang Lin sighed, "And I don't need this..."

"Eh? Don't be like that. We can live in a thatched cottage, too. These Dragon Veins are truly beneficial for you."

As she spoke, Jiang Yuni reached out her slender hand to take the Dragon Veins. Fortunately, Jiang Lin snatched them and held them high. The girl climbed onto Jiang Lin, but couldn't reach them no matter how hard she tried.

"Give them to me."

"No."

"Please give them to me."

"No."

"I am the Master."

"Master."

"Hmm?"

"The crow is here."

"Hmm?"

"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale! One Low-Grade Spirit Stone per newspaper! Newspapers for sale..."

On the Twin Pearl Peak Summit, a huge crow, carrying a bamboo basket on its back, kept shouting.

After putting away the Dragon Vein, Jiang Lin tossed a Low-Grade Spirit Stone high into the air. The crow caught it and dropped a Newspaper in return. "Thank you for your patronage... Welcome back next time."

"Little Linlin really still likes reading the newspaper, huh?"

Jiang Lin shot his Master a look. "One must keep up with the times. What if the times change?"

Taking the newspaper, Jiang Lin felt an inexplicable unease. As expected, the moment he unfolded it, a headline leaped out at him.

"Shocking! Why was the Dragon Gate Sect's Eldest Senior Sister, Fairy Lin Qingwan, weeping heartbrokenly on a forest path? Why has she been shut in her room, refusing to speak? And why has her Realm plummeted by two levels? What exactly happened? Is this the distortion of morality or the depravity of humanity? Please read our special column to delve into the untold secrets of Fairy Lin Qingwan..."

[Ding...]

He had only read halfway through the newspaper's special column when a system notification chimed.

[Protagonist Plot Triggered: The protagonist, Lin Qingwan, possesses a Sacred Body. Due to the Host's actions, her Dao Heart has been damaged and is expected to take three years to repair. Thereafter, she will despise the Demonic Sect, spend ten years clearing nearly ninety percent of the Demonic Sect from Wutong Province, and eleven years later, she will attack Wutong Province. She will spend ten years, day and night, killing the Host N times, then scatter the Host's ashes before Proving the Dao and Ascending. The Host is advised to take care of themselves!]

Suddenly, Jiang Lin felt himself trembling.

Ascension after killing me N times? And scattering my ashes? Could Senior Sister be a sadist?

No! This must never happen! I have to nip this in the bud, or I'll be dying tens of thousands of times in ten years! Every death is agonizing, wouldn't I go mad?!

"Little Lin, what's wrong? Did you do something bad?" Jiang Yuni asked worriedly, seeing Jiang Lin break out in a cold sweat.

"Master, we are members of the Demonic Sect. We specialize in doing bad things."

"No, you were the one I found and raised. You can't do bad things!"

"..."

Actually, his Master wasn't like this originally. She used to be a cool, queenly type. But about seven or eight years ago, during an external training expedition, he accidentally snatched a girl's Sugar-coated Haws. Then, a bunch of old people jumped out to defend her. Afterward, to protect him, his Master was severely injured and fell into a coma. When she woke up, her personality had completely changed.

However, Jiang Lin was quite fond of his Master's current personality.

It's just... what about ten years from now... sigh...

"Don't worry, Master, I'm fine. I'll go submit the Dragon Vein first."

Although his Master was a bit naive, she was surprisingly sensitive in certain areas. Fearing she might see through him, Jiang Lin summoned his Spiritual Energy Horse and galloped away, thinking of a solution along the way.

Arriving at the Sun Moon Divine Sect's mission completion point, Jiang Lin submitted the Dragon Vein and secured a considerable amount of funding. He then pondered how to remedy the situation with a heavy heart.

Just then, in front of the "Villain Task Board," Jiang Lin's eyes suddenly lit up!
