Outside Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire.
"Clack, clack, clack..."
Accompanied by a crisp sound of hooves, a luxurious four-horse carriage slowly drove into Wutan City.
Inside the carriage, three figures sat-two males and one female.
The figure seated right in the middle was an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a moon-white robe, and looking somewhat kind-eyed.
At the chest of the old man's robe was embroidered a silver crescent moon, surrounded by seven glittering golden stars, indicating that he was a Seven-Star Great Dou Master.
This person was Ge Ye, an outer sect elder of the Misty Cloud Sect.
The figure sitting to Ge Ye's right was a delicate young lady who likewise wore a moon-white robe, with skin like snow and a pretty face.
This female looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years of age, yet her whole body emanated an unhidden aura of pampered nobility.
The white-robed maiden before the eyes was Nalan Yanran, the personal disciple of Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Yun and also the second young miss of the Nalan Family.
As for the figure sitting to Ge Ye's left, he was a black-robed youth with sword-like brows and starry eyes, who bore a seven- or eight-tenths resemblance to Nalan Yanran.
This person was Nalan Sheng, Nalan Yanran's fraternal twin brother and the eldest young master of the Nalan Family.
Aside from the identity of eldest young master of the Nalan Family, Nalan Sheng possessed yet another identity: a transmigrator hailing from Blue Star.
In his past life, Nalan Sheng had merely been an ordinary office worker. When working overtime past two in the morning on a certain occasion, his vision suddenly turned black, and he arrived in this realm.
When Nalan Sheng first transmigrated to this realm, he had not recovered the memories of his past life, remaining just like the native residents of the Dou Qi Continent.
It was only until shortly beforehand, when Nalan Yanran suddenly sought him out and unleashed her spoiled-acting arts to make him accompany her to the Xiao Clan in Wutan City to annul the engagement, that Nalan Sheng recovered his past-life memories.
Originally, after Nalan Sheng recovered his past-life memories, he ought to have stopped Nalan Yanran from heading to the Xiao Clan to annul the engagement.
After all, according to the original plotline, Xiao Yan was destined to become a Dou Di in the future. It was already too late for Nalan Sheng to hug his thighs, so how could he possibly offend him?
Yet upon recovering his past-life memories, Nalan Sheng also awakened a system named the Destined Great Villain.
This system was a cheat that Nalan Sheng carried with himself, and its ability was very simple: as long as he opposed the male and female protagonists of the original work or seized fortuitous encounters that rightfully belonged to them, he could acquire corresponding villain points.
With sufficient villain points, Nalan Sheng would be able to make purchases in the System Shop.
The System Shop refreshed once every month, and ten items would randomly appear within it.
The values of those items varied from high to low; some items were quite tasteless, while others were priceless treasures.
For instance, among the ten items currently stocked in the system mall, the one with the lowest value was a box of chocolates, which only required one villain point to redeem.
As for the item with the highest value, it was a fire-attribute lower-tier godhead.
Nalan Sheng would only need to refine this object to directly become a god.
However, the villain points required for this item were utterly exaggerated; just the trailing string of zeros was enough to make one's eyes spin.
Nalan Sheng himself did not wish to make an enemy of Xiao Yan, but he could not withstand the system giving too much.
Aside from the System Shop, the system had also tailored a personal attribute panel for him based on his own condition, with attributes displayed as:
[Host: Nalan Sheng]
[Age: 15 years old]
[Cultivation: One-Star Dou Zhe]
[Qi Method: Jinglei Formula (Initiate Tier: 589/3000)+]
[Dou Technique: Benlei Palm (Minor Accomplishment Tier: 1685/6000)+, Lightning Divine Movement Technique (Minor Accomplishment Tier: 2158/6000)+]
[Villain Points: 0]
Since Nalan Sheng's Dou Qi attribute was the lightning attribute, the qi methods and Dou techniques he practiced were also of the lightning attribute.
Although lightning-attribute qi methods and Dou techniques were comparatively rare, the Nalan Family was nonetheless one of the Three Major Clans of the Jia Ma Empire; finding a few suitable qi methods and Dou techniques for Nalan Sheng was still quite easy.
Furthermore, the qi methods and Dou techniques Nalan Sheng currently practiced were both of the Profound Tier High Grade.

Qi methods and Dou techniques of this caliber already counted as top-tier qi methods and Dou techniques within the Jia Ma Empire, enough for Nalan Sheng to use all the way to the Dou Emperor stage.
Regrettably, Nalan Sheng's cultivation talent was still quite a bit inferior compared to his younger sister, Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran was already a Three-Star Dou Zhe at present, whereas Nalan Sheng had only just condensed his Dou Qi Vortex a few months prior, successfully breaking through to a One-Star Dou Zhe.
Consequently, Nalan Sheng had only practiced the Jinglei Formula for a few months, merely advancing it to the initiate tier.
Fortunately, villain points could not only be used to purchase goods in the System Shop, but could also be used to raise the mastery levels of qi methods and Dou techniques.
As long as Nalan Sheng seized this opportunity and figured out a way to farm some villain points from Xiao Yan, he could soar in one wave.
Naturally, Xiao Xun'er, serving as the female protagonist of the original work, could likewise burst forth with a fair amount of villain points.
Yet a Dou Emperor-tier bodyguard followed at Xiao Xun'er's side; if Nalan Sheng truly dared to bully her, he would likely find it difficult to return alive to the Nalan Family, so it was better to let Xiao Yan suffer a bit instead!
Just as Nalan Sheng's thoughts were running wild, the luxurious carriage they rode in also slowly halted before the main gates of the Xiao Clan.
Upon learning the news of visitors from the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Zhan hurriedly brought the Three Great Elders of the Xiao Clan to personally greet them, inviting Nalan Sheng and the others into the reception hall.
Not long after Nalan Sheng and the others took their seats, other high-ranking figures of the Xiao Clan, as well as clansmen of the younger generation, also successively caught wind of the news and rushed over.
Taking advantage of the moment Ge Ye was exchanging pleasantries with Xiao Zhan and the others, Nalan Sheng was secretly sizing up the members of the Xiao Clan in the main hall.
Aside from Xiao Zhan and the Three Great Elders, the Xiao Clan had no other Da Dou Shi. The remaining high-ranking members of the Xiao Clan were basically middle-aged men at the Dou Shi level, and Nalan Sheng naturally had no interest in them.
Nalan Sheng glanced over those middle-aged Dou Shi and shifted his gaze to the younger generation of the Xiao Clan.
Before long, Nalan Sheng's gaze was drawn by two lovely figures.
One of the figures was a young girl in a red dress who looked to be about the same age as Nalan Yanran. Although her looks could not compare to Nalan Yanran's, she was still a standard beauty in the making.
That slightly childish little face simultaneously carried an aura of pure innocence and seductive charm.
Faced with the gaze cast by Nalan Sheng, the red-dressed girl felt shy while also unable to resist stealing glances out of the corner of her eye.
After all, Nalan Sheng was not only handsome in appearance, but at such a young age he was already a One-Star Dou Zhe. Placed in a remote city like Wutan City, it was a proper dimensionality-reduction strike.
The other lovely figure was a serene young girl dressed in a long cyan dress.
This female's looks were on par with Nalan Yanran's, resembling a blooming green lotus as she sat quietly in the corner of the main hall, flipping through a book as if no one else was around.
