Want to freeload? Awaken a backer!

They definitely wouldn't... blame me?

Did they think I was still that bootlicking senior brother from before?

Qin Luo slowly walked toward Liu Ruyan, and Liu Ruyan raised her lovely little face as well.

She thought to herself, As expected, Senior Brother Qin still loves me. No matter how he changes, his love for me will never change.

Qin Luo now had another identity: a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. That made him an even better match for her.

But the next second, Qin Luo gave her a resounding slap.

Slap!

That slap left Liu Ruyan utterly stunned.

"Where's your shame?"

"Do you have even a shred of face left? You framed me, nearly got me killed, and still don't want me to hold you accountable?"

"You filthy bitch. You may not be beautiful, but you sure know how to dream beautifully!"

The Sacred Land disciples erupted in an uproar. The countless bootlickers had never expected Qin Luo to dare strike the goddess in their hearts.

At once, quite a few people began condemning Qin Luo.

"Qin Luo, what right do you have to hit the Holy Maiden? What gives you the qualifications? Hitting a woman—I despise you!"

"Did you just start looking down on our junior sister because your status changed? Bah, what the hell are you!"

"Ye Chen was the one who framed you! You don't have the ability to kill Ye Chen, so why are you taking your anger out on the Holy Maiden?"

Qin Luo cast a few cold glances at those shouting, then turned to Zheng Tuo. "Pojun Marquis, if someone dares insult a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, how should they be dealt with?"

A cruel smile curled Zheng Tuo's lips. "Kill them!"

Before Qin Luo could give an order, he had already made his move.

The moment a Saint Realm expert acted, those few clamoring people were instantly locked onto. Terror immediately appeared on their faces. Just as they were about to beg for mercy, they exploded with a bang!

Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Many people shuddered and immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.

Liu Ruyan stared blankly at the scene. She had not expected Qin Luo to hit her, much less slaughter people so wantonly here.

"Senior Brother, you've changed," Liu Ruyan said weakly.

"Fuck off, bitch!" Qin Luo kicked Liu Ruyan in the stomach.

In his memories, this vile woman had joined Ye Chen in framing Qin Luo several times. She claimed she had believed Ye Chen's slander—heh heh...

Was she love-brained, or was she actually clear-headed? Who the fuck knew?

Boom! The moment Qin Luo kicked out, Liu Changhe appeared.

He glared at Qin Luo in towering fury. "Qin Luo, my Taixu Sacred Land raised you for so many years, yet you had someone kill disciples of my Sacred Land! You are utterly ungrateful!"

Qin Luo met his gaze without yielding. "Raised me? Heh heh, wasn't that my master? All my cultivation resources were given by my master. As for the Sacred Land, heh heh... the cultivation resources my master gave the Sacred Land were probably more than what the Sacred Land ever gave me!"

That single sentence nearly choked Liu Changhe to death.

Taixu Ancestor stepped out as well. He spoke leisurely, "Qin Luo, the Sacred Land did raise you, after all. You should not have acted like this over such a trivial matter."

"I'll make the decision. From today onward, you will remain the Sacred Land's Holy Son, and the Taixu Bell will be entrusted to your care. But you must leave behind a copy of the Four Symbols Sword Technique!"

Qin Luo glanced at Taixu Ancestor and slowly shook his head. "I disagree."

"If you insist on taking it by force, there is nothing I can do about it."

As soon as his words fell, Zheng Tuo stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "If the Taixu Sacred Land dares force the prince of my Great Qin Dynasty, the armies of the Great Qin Dynasty will surely trample the Taixu Sacred Land flat! Not one will be spared!"

"Let's go!" Qin Luo had originally wanted to speak with that Frostmoon Saint, but once the situation had settled slightly, that old crone had slipped away.

There was no helping it. He could only keep the matter in mind for now. Once he had finished dealing with matters in the Imperial Capital, he would come back to find his junior sister.

As for Liu Ruyan, this Daughter of Destiny... heh heh...

Qin Luo glanced at her. At this moment, her eyes brimmed with tears, making her look rather pitiful.

[Liu Ruyan's state of mind has collapsed. She has lost 10,000 Fortune Points. The host has obtained 10,000 Fortune Points.]

[Name: Liu Ruyan]

[Age: 18]

[Fortune Level: First Tier]

[Physique: Profound Charm Physique]

[Fortune Points: 18,000]

[Realm: Sea-Opening Realm, seventh level]

She had already lost 30,000 Fortune Points, falling from a third-tier Daughter of Destiny to a first-tier Daughter of Destiny.

What a little piece of trash.

"Can Fortune Points still rise again?" Qin Luo asked.

[If a Child of Destiny or Daughter of Destiny obtains a new opportunity, their Fortune Points may increase. Fortune is not set in stone. (The possibility is relatively low.)]

Liu Ruyan had thought Qin Luo was looking at her because he had changed his mind, but his next words nearly made her shut down completely.

"You filthy bitch, don't worry. Sooner or later, I'll make you and Ye Chen sleep in the same grave. Don't thank me. It's what I should do."

Liu Changhe flew into a rage. "Qin Luo, how dare you!"

Threatening to kill his daughter right in front of him—did Qin Luo think he, a Saint Realm expert, did not exist?

Boom! A powerful aura swept toward Qin Luo, only to be firmly blocked by Zheng Tuo.

"Taixu Sacred Lord, are you looking to die?" Zheng Tuo gripped his giant axe, ready to start a war at the slightest disagreement.

Qin Luo looked at Liu Changhe and sneered. "What? Does the Sacred Lord want to kill me?"

"I was only talking. I didn't kill your daughter. But you want to kill me—tsk, tsk. I wonder whether you can bear the price of that."

A dignified Saint Realm expert was being contradicted so insolently by a junior. Liu Changhe was furious beyond measure.

At that moment, Taixu Ancestor gave a cold shout. "Changhe, stand down!"

Then Taixu Ancestor turned his gaze to Qin Luo and said calmly, "Qin Luo, have you truly decided to leave my Taixu Sacred Land?"

"You should know that the Great Qin Dynasty has more than just you as a prince. Including you, there are nine princes in total. What does it prove that you wandered outside for nearly twenty years?"

"I originally thought you were a clever person, but I never expected you to make such an irrational decision."

What he meant, both openly and between the lines, was to remind Qin Luo: you have no background and no backer, while our Taixu Sacred Land is willing to be your backer.

But if he wanted the Taixu Sacred Land's support, he would have to offer what they wanted—such as the Four Symbols Sword Technique.

A Saint Tier martial skill could serve as the foundation suppressing the Taixu Sacred Land's heritage. Taixu Ancestor was certain that the complete Four Symbols Sword Technique in Qin Luo's possession was Saint Tier.

And there was the Taixu Bell. How could their Taixu Sacred Land's Taixu Bell be allowed to remain outside?

"Oh?" Qin Luo raised a brow. "Do you want to keep me that badly?"

"How about I give you a suggestion?"

"I can refrain from leaving your Taixu Sacred Land."

"But I want to be the Sacred Lord of the Taixu Sacred Land. Liu Ruyan will become my concubine, and everyone in the Taixu Sacred Land must swear loyalty to me!"

"Then the Taixu Bell can still belong to the Taixu Sacred Land, and the Four Symbols Sword Technique can still be the Taixu Sacred Land's supreme cultivation martial skill."

However, Qin Luo added in his heart, Everything will be on the Sacred Lord, so it still counts as belonging to the Sacred Land, doesn't it? What belongs to the Sacred Land belongs to the Sacred Lord, while what belongs to the Sacred Lord is still fucking the Sacred Lord's.

Qin Luo's words caused everyone in the Taixu Sacred Land to erupt in an uproar.

Taixu Ancestor's and Liu Changhe's faces darkened at once. Liu Changhe rebuked, "Qin Luo, you are too arrogant! The Ancestor kindly wished to keep you, yet you dare humiliate my Taixu Sacred Land like this."

"Humiliate? Heh heh, do you think my identity as a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty is inferior to being the Sacred Lord of your Taixu Sacred Land?" Qin Luo sneered. "If you want to gain something, then you must give something!"

"Did you think you could just move your lips and freeload?"

Those words were far too harsh. Having his intentions exposed, Taixu Ancestor's face darkened. He snorted coldly. "Qin Luo, do you know that the Great Qin Dynasty has nine princes in total, including you?"

"And in the end, only one can become the Imperial Son!"

"With no background and no backer, Qin Luo, I would like to see just how far you can go in the Great Qin Dynasty!"

[The system has detected that one blood relative from the host's maternal clan is still alive. Would you like to awaken them?]

[Awakening requires consuming all Villain Points.]

Holy shit... Qin Luo truly wanted to say, 666.

His maternal clan—fuck, he did not even know what surname his maternal clan had, yet the system had detected a blood relative.

"Are they strong?"

[System: Isn't the answer obvious?]

"Awaken them!"

If it wanted to drain him dry, so be it. Now that he had a backer, would Villain Points still be far away?
