"As expected of the Tang Family's former prodigy, whose brilliance was unrivaled. His talent was exceptional, and so were his looks."
"There's no one else here, and Tang Yan's still unconscious. Even if we did that to him, no one would ever know. Why don't we..." Lust filled one man's eyes as he stared at Tang Yan's outrageously beautiful face.
"Heh heh... sounds good." The other man was tempted as soon as he heard the suggestion.
Listening to these two lusting after him right in front of him, little Tang Yan turned livid with rage.
He was a completely straight man!!
Back in the modern world, he had never even held a woman's hand, let alone been treated like this by two men!
[Damn it! Sick bastards! They're absolute sick bastards! System, aren't you going to let me wake up yet?]
The system spoke with perfect composure:
[Don't panic, host. In the original plot, this is where the two lackeys Tang Feiyang sent nearly violated you. But at the critical moment, Xu Zhenzhen, the villainous second female lead, saved you.] [Right now, these two lackeys are only groping you, and Xu Zhenzhen hasn't arrived yet, so you can't wake up~]
Tang Yan's eyes widened. [What? In the plot, the original owner nearly got... by two men? Is that why he was such a simp for Xu Zhenzhen, the villainous second female lead?]
Fuck! Just how much did the hater who wrote this book despise him?
He hadn't dug up the guy's ancestral graves or stolen his partner, had he? That goddamned hater!
[Yep. Who told you to skip chapters and not finish the book? You screwed yourself over, didn't you?]
[...Can we negotiate? Let me wake up early. This is seriously disgusting. I'm about to be defiled! Aaaaaah!]
Seeing the two lackeys' groping hands about to slip inside his body's clothes, Tang Yan went pale with horror.
The system sighed faintly.
[Fine. I'll bend the rules for you.]
What could it do? It had chosen this host itself. If it didn't spoil him, was it supposed to expect someone else to?
Before Tang Yan could thank it, his beautiful peach-blossom eyes flew open.
One of the men grew even more excited when he saw him open his eyes.
"Hahaha! Young Master Tang's awake? Good, good. We can have more fun with you awake, can't we?"
Far from being frightened by Tang Yan's sudden awakening, the two became even more brazen.
In their eyes, Tang Yan's golden core had been dug out and his cultivation destroyed. He was nothing but a cripple who posed no threat whatsoever.
They were both at early Foundation Building. Dealing with a useless cripple was nothing to worry about.
As Tang Yan watched the two grow increasingly excited, an icy glint flashed in his eyes.
Heh! You're asking to die!
An alluring smile spread across his sensuous, thin lips, and he raised his eyebrows at them.
"Come on, then~~"
Consumed by lust, the two lackeys gazed at the breathtaking beauty before them, their eyes brimming with obsession and frenzy.
"Heh heh... didn't think Young Master Tang would be so eager. In that case, we brothers can't let you down."
Even the system fell unusually silent at this audacious move.
[Host, this is why you wanted to wake up early?!]
Its mechanical voice practically screamed, "Damn, host, you really know how to have fun," and "I never imagined you were this kind of person."
Tang Yan nearly failed to maintain the smile he had forced onto his face. He gritted his teeth.
I'll settle the score with this filthy-minded little system later!
One man eagerly leaned closer, his head so full of dirty thoughts that he completely missed the deepening frost in Tang Yan's eyes.
Just as he bent down in a frenzy to kiss Tang Yan's thin lips—
Unable to endure another second, Tang Yan jerked up his right hand and viciously drove the dagger he had kept hidden into the man's chest, striking his heart.
The wet sound of the dagger piercing flesh rang clearly through the air.
[Wow! Host, you really didn't disappoint me!]
The purple sea of stars deep within Tang Yan's mind quivered proudly.
It knew its host was the best!
Tang Yan had no time to pay attention to the system. His gaze was utterly cold.
A sneer curled his lips. He twisted the dagger buried in the man's heart three times to the left and three times to the right before pulling it out.
This was no ordinary dagger, but a low-grade magical treasure.
His family had confiscated his Sumeru Ring, and even his storage pouch had been taken by that blackhearted Tang Feiyang.
Fortunately, the original owner had been clever enough to hide a low-grade magical treasure and a Teleportation Array Disk with an unpredictable range.
In the past, the original owner would never have spared a mere low-grade magical treasure a glance. But times had changed.
Still, it was a magical treasure. If he caught a Foundation Building cultivator off guard and stabbed it into his heart, it could certainly kill him in one strike.
Sure enough, the man's pupils instantly contracted, his eyes filling with horror and disbelief. Veins throbbed on his forehead, and scarlet blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, the man collapsed before he could speak, dying with his eyes wide open.
Enduring the pain coursing through him, Tang Yan lifted his leg and kicked the man aside with a look of disgust.
The other man, who had been standing a short distance behind, finally recovered from the sudden turn of events.
"You actually dared to kill him! You're asking for death! We were going to let you enjoy yourself before you died, but you just don't know what's good for you. Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
The man glanced at his companion's staring corpse, filled with grief and fury.
His companion had been killed in an instant. There hadn't even been time to save him.
With that, the man formed a hand seal, gathering spiritual energy between his hands, then swung viciously at Tang Yan.
Tang Yan's gaze sharpened, his expression grave. Dragging his battered body into motion, he met the attack with his dagger.
Bang!
But he was now no different from an ordinary person. Although the Foundation Building cultivator's full-force strike didn't kill him on the spot, it sent him flying more than ten meters backward.
His lower back slammed into a sturdy tree.
Splurt!
Tang Yan frowned as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his handsome face turning even paler.
"Hiss!" Even fiercer pain swept through his entire body.
He felt as though his already battered body was about to shatter.
Tang Yan gave a bitter laugh. When had he ever suffered injuries this severe? Transmigrating into books or other worlds really wasn't something a person should do.
Transmigrate as cannon fodder, and you died every time.
Transmigrate as a villain, and you still died in the end.
Transmigrate as an ordinary person, and you couldn't beat the natives.
Seeing that Tang Yan was still alive, the lackey grew even more shocked.
"Heh! You really are the Tang Family's prodigy of the new generation. You were already injured so badly you barely had half a breath left, and then you took my full-force strike. Even that couldn't kill you."
As he spoke, the man approached Tang Yan with a sneer.
"But your glory is gone for good. Today, you'll die by my hand after all. Hahaha! Tang Yan, prepare to die!"
The man raised his saber, his eyes filled with a chilling, bone-deep murderous intent.
Tang Yan shifted his wrecked body. Even the slightest movement brought a towering wave of pain that nearly robbed him of breath.
He clicked his tongue, giving up.
Fine, let me die. Sooner or later, I'll die anyway. Maybe dying now will send me back.
Ugh! But if that saber hits me, my corpse will end up in pieces.
My perfect body—all 188 centimeters of it, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs—is about to get chopped apart.
The system, which shared his thoughts, spoke at just the right moment:
[Don't worry, host. You won't die.]
[That saber's about to hit me, and you're still spouting this crap? You useless piece of junk! All you do is dish out gossip. You're good for nothing else.]
[Quiet. I'm waiting for someone.]
The man brought his saber down viciously.
The gleam of the blade flashed across Tang Yan's face, making him close his eyes involuntarily.
Just then, everything changed. In the blink of an eye, an even sharper streak of sword light shot in from the distance.
After a soft hiss, the saber-wielding lackey died with his eyes wide open, without even a chance to struggle.
Tang Yan opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the sword light.
Had Xu Zhenzhen, the villainous second female lead, arrived?
[Congratulations, dear host! Your virtue and your life are both safe! Surprised?]
The system paused, then added:
[You're safe now, host. You can pass out in peace.]
Tang Yan's vision went black, and he lost consciousness again.
He had forced himself awake, killed a man, and taken a full-force strike from a Foundation Building cultivator.
His already ruined body was in even worse shape. Sheer willpower had been the only thing keeping him conscious.
Before he blacked out, one thought still echoed through Tang Yan's mind.
My virtue is safe for now!
The person who saved me wouldn't be as twisted as those two lackeys and set her sights on my virtue too, would she?
