Chapter 1: Got the Villain System, But I’m Out!
Brain Storage Room
——————
“No, no, don’t do it!”
“Why? Aren’t we family?”
A ten-year-old girl was tightly bound to the bed, while a middle-aged man with a short dagger carefully wiped his blade, casting darting glances at the girl bawling her eyes out.
“Stop crying!” A woman nearby sneered, full of disgust. “Who do you think your family is? Some stray kid who just showed up out of nowhere? I raised you all these years just to transplant the Celestial Bone into my son!”
She then shot a look at the teen tied to a chair. “Son, I know you’re close to her, but don’t blame mom. You’ll understand my good intentions someday.”
The teen stayed silent, but inside he was silently mouthing: ‘Great, got the villain script now.’
After working overtime till midnight and finally clocking out, Bai Feng was hit by a big truck—talk about bad luck—and was born into this world where cultivation is a thing. Too bad his talent was so-so, but he wasn’t disappointed because his dad brought back a girl named Bai Yu Mo and said she was his sister, and the kicker—she had the Celestial Bone.
He thought he could latch onto her, ride her coattails, and sail smoothly through life. But nope, today he’s suddenly the villain!
‘Well, I hope Dad makes it in time.’
He had no idea about the bone extraction plan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be tied up here. Just yesterday, he felt something was off at home—the atmosphere was weird, especially since his mom suddenly started being kindlier to Bai Yu Mo.
Based on his *extensive* web novel reading, he guessed there had to be some shady business going on. So, he left a letter in his dad’s study.
He didn’t say exactly what happened, just mentioned sensing some ill-intentioned folks approaching Bai Yu Mo. He also casually inquired about the stranger who appeared out of nowhere. At the end, he asked Dad to keep a close eye on Bai Yu Mo over the next few days—and for goodness’ sake, don’t leave the house.
Hoping Dad wouldn’t dismiss it as just childish paranoia.
He looked at his sister crying on the bed. Even if they managed to rescue her, their relationship probably wouldn’t go back to how it was.
Ah, no more riding her coattails, huh? As long as she doesn’t come looking for trouble, it’s good enough.
【Ding—Host behavior detected, Villain System has been bound!】
“What… what do you mean my behavior?” Bai Feng muttered angrily, still tied to the chair.
Honestly, he was still a hostage here!
He couldn’t help but complain.
Then he secretly peeked at the middle-aged man—the “villain” preparing to extract the Celestial Bone—and his mother, making sure no one was watching him. Once he confirmed he was alone, he quickly opened the system interface.
The system looked simple—only 10 Luck Points, nothing else. But there was a curious ‘?’ icon next to the Luck Points. Curious, he focused his attention.
A page of instructions popped up.
Basically, as long as he targets the Child of Destiny, tampers with their confidence, mess with their mindset—gaining Luck Points—and he’d be rewarded greatly.
But it’s not like raising Luck Points suddenly makes him a Child of Destiny. The higher the Luck Points, the more likely this kid will target him. Ironically, having more Luck Points makes you easier to pick on.
To better target the Child of Destiny, he unlocked a skill—detecting the Child of Destiny within a city-sized radius.
He activated it, mostly convinced that his sister was the Child of Destiny, but wanted to see the system’s official confirmation.
Sure enough, among three glowing dots, one was right on his sister!
Wait, three dots?
Bai Feng froze, staring at the other two. If he remembered correctly, one was over by the Lin Family next door.
Indeed, the Lin Family had a prodigy—son of the Lin Clan’s head.
As for the third… he had no clue.
But wait—how can there be three Child of Destiny in one city? Are the Child of Destiny all coming here for some kind of team-building event?
He looked back at the villain system and the three glowing dots. The little plan he had instantly fizzled out.
Fine, screw being a villain. I’ve been had!
He thought about it: he’s Bai Family’s Young Master. Even if his talent’s average, he’s got a rich family background.
Never worried about food or clothing, so why go after the Child of Destiny?
If every city had two or three Child of Destinies, his Luck Points would soar, and he’d be harassed to d*ath just stepping outside.
After reading the system instructions, Bai Feng looked around at the scene—the middle-aged man now ready to carve out the Celestial Bone.
But just at that moment, the carefully arranged formation in the room suddenly shattered.
The kn*fe-wielding man was caught off guard and struck by a palm, spat out bl**d and flew backward.
“Jia Yu, how bold of you! Do you think I, Bai Tian You, the head of the Bai Family, am so easily disregarded?”
A voice filled with fury echoed as a stern-faced middle-aged man appeared in the room.
Yes! It’s my dad, Bai Tian You!
Bai Feng let out a small sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt his bonds loosen—his ropes were cut somewhere, falling to the ground.
“Take Bai Yu Mo and leave. I have something to say to your mother.”
“Yes, Father,” Bai Feng replied, shrinking back. Though his dad was rarely angry, when he was, it was terrifying.
Quickly, he scooped up Bai Yu Mo and dashed out of the house.
As soon as he stepped outside, a fierce argument started behind him.
“Are you alright?”
Bai Feng set his sister down, gently touched her shoulder, and asked.
Bai Yu Mo pursed her lips and nodded quietly. “…Yeah.”
He could clearly feel her fear and distance in her tone—an invisible wall had risen between them.
No longer a little girl calling ‘Brother’ from behind him.
Even if he didn’t know everything, he was still the benefactor in this mess. Suspicion and doubt would only serve as tiny poison arrows in their relationship, sometimes stirring discord.
Forget it; as long as she doesn’t seek revenge, it’s a win.
“Let me take you back to your room to rest.”
“Thanks…”
…
Years passed since the bone extraction. Bai Feng sat in a chair, clutching a custom-made pencil and doodling on paper.
The fallout from the bone theft was even bigger than expected. His mother was grounded, and others involved, including the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, had their positions revoked and retired to the backmountains with the Grand Elder.
His bond with Bai Yu Mo also grew colder. She had since joined the Heavenly Sword Sect to cultivate, and they barely saw each other these days. But she wasn’t resentful about the bone incident—that was good.
He didn’t suffer many consequences from the bone extraction; his father kept the situation under control.
Over these years, what Bai Feng enjoyed most was traveling from city to city. More and more, he was glad he hadn’t gone after the Child of Destiny.
There weren’t that many in every city, but a lot nonetheless—especially when passing by certain sects. Once, he even spotted four Child of Destiny in one trip.
What *is* this world? Is the Heavenly Way secretly a pig’s brain? Why so many Child of Destiny popping up everywhere?
After several trips, he had to admit—it was serious.
Though his Luck Points weren’t high enough to draw the Child of Destiny’s ire, he still had the villain system. Who knew when some reckless Child of Destiny might look for trouble?
Better steer clear of sects, books, poetry—anything too cultural. Don’t want to run into them and get caught in a fancy opera or a karaoke night…
Cough. Sometimes, it’s fine to go listen to a tune—just don’t tip the headliner or toss coins. No need to attract the Child of Destiny’s attention.
Finally, pondering extensively, Bai Feng decided on a safe zone—drawing inappropriate pictures!
He dusted off his old profession. Now recognized as a top artist in Blue Rainbow City, known as Master Chun Qiu in the inner circles.
Surely, no Child of Destiny would be into hentai doodles, right?
Everybody love hentai~
