I Am the Fated Villain Chapter 207: My Heart Flutters, but I Cant Move Him; Its Time for The Hero to Save The Beauty!
[Resting Palace for exclusive guests, Gu Family]
Inside a magnificent and remarkably grand palace illuminated by the hazy moonlight, Wang Zijin, now in women's clothing, sat cross-legged.
The white clothes on her body surged like clouds, and her hair was draped in a bun, her flawless face carrying a calm expression. Comparable to the purest white jade, a peculiar sense of beauty permeated the space.
She was currently absorbing the essence of Heaven and Earth, laws flowing in a strange rhythm.
Buzz!
An illusory Immortal Gate loomed tall behind her, seemingly connected to a vast and mysterious world; ancient trees and divine herbs could be found in abundance, and the roars of primordial beasts sounded in unison, shaking the whole world.
This was the talent she was born with, the phantom of an Immortal Gate.
The Immortal Gate imbued her with Immortal Qi during cultivation, allowing her to achieve twice the results with half the effort, making her progress far more rapidly than other cultivators.
Moreover, she was endowed with a legendary Immortal Spirit Body.
Immaculate and flawless by nature.
Because of this shocking situation, many members of the Ancient Immortal Wang Family's older generation believed that she was a great existence in her previous life and was most likely connected with the now-vanished Immortal Realm.
It was just that…this assumption hadn't yet been confirmed.
After hearing it, Wang Zijin didn't really care too much about it. To hell with a great existence. She was just an ordinary and unremarkable transmigrator.
At this moment, Wang Zijin was quietly adjusting her vitality and Qi, same as always. It was a habit she had ever since she started cultivating.
Although she might usually have a bit of a salty attitude, she always held a non-competitive heart for many other things.
But she also never slacked or grew lazy in her practice of the Great Dao.
After all, she was a transmigrator. It would be extremely boring if she didn't eventually become a powerful individual standing at the top of heaven. It'd be simply a waste of her new life.
Previously, Wang Zijin had always looked down on the countless native Young Geniuses; whether it be their personality, cultivation base, or background, she couldn't find anyone who could pique her interest.
In her previous life, she was always alone, lying in a hospital room and only saw the outside world on a screen. She had expected things to change after crossing over, thinking she would find a partner, a husband, or something.
However, her status, background, cultivation talent, and so on had unknowingly elevated her expectations. She felt as if she had entered the fantasy world she had read about in her previous life.
The Young Supreme of the Immortal Wang Family who was born Sacred. A cultivation base enough to view all her peers in contempt, coupled with her strong background? She could crush myriad people without even trying!
Therefore, even if she sought someone to admire, no one was actually worthy of her attention in the first place.
As a result, Wang Zijin felt that, in this world, she would probably end up alone and miserable once more.
[Zain: I didn't get isekai'ed, but why am I still alone and miserable? :’( ]
On the long path of cultivating the Dao, solitude was Wang Zijin's only option. When she looked back, she would already be standing at the world's highest peak, but there would be no one to accompany her anymore.
This had always been her thoughts.
So, while Wang Zijin appeared easygoing and casual in many ways, she also exhibited a deep-rooted attitude of indifference.
This situation has been ongoing for a long time.
However, she noticed a difference when she met Gu Changge, a distinction that made him different from other native people of this world.
She found a long-lost familiar feeling in conversations, opinions, and many other aspects.
Most importantly, Wang Zijin felt that although he was extraordinarily handsome…
It certainly wasn't to the point of love at first sight.
After all, which Young Supreme would have poor looks in a fantasy world?
Over the years, how many handsome young men did she meet, and how many admirers pursued her while cultivating in the Human Ancestral Hall?
Her mood always remained stagnant.
But… she didn't know why she liked Gu Changge's face in particular. As she saw him talk, laugh, and oppress the entire Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan, she felt as if a love arrow had struck her.
Immediately, she knew it was her heart that was being moved by Gu Changge.
As a dignified transmigrator, her identity and cultivation were unparalleled in this world, yet there were still moments like this, causing Wang Zijin to reflect on herself.
Certainly, she was uninterested in those proper and old-fashioned men.
However, she saw a novelty in Gu Changge that she had never seen before.
That's why she became curious and attracted to Gu Changge, and now she felt she couldn't see through him more and more… as if a layer of fog obscured her vision.
Wang Zijin felt that if things continued as they were, one day, even a transmigrator like her might really fall for him.
Before that, she wanted to uncover the layers of fog on Gu Changge's body, wanting to see his true Cultivation Base.
“I can't see his cultivation base… it might be because my Cultivation Base is inferior.” Wang Zijin was whispering.
In her conversation with Gu Changge, his perfunctory demeanour could be seen. He obviously didn't care much about her, but she still maintained a polite smile on her face.
Under that gentle and elegant appearance hid a cold and ruthless face.
After all, many of her previous suitors admired her immensely, both openly and secretly… unlike Gu Changge.
He obviously had no feelings for her, yet he still pretended to be as gentle and warm as jade.
Whether in her previous life or the current one, this was definitely her favourite type of villain persona…
“Based on the current situation, there's no way his heart will be moved by me.” Wang Zijin sighed, shook her head, and then withdrew from her cultivation state.
Now being quite familiar with Gu Changge, she understood it was merely a superficial familiarity in public.
Only ghosts would know what Gu Changge was thinking.
“It seems that my crossing over to this world isn't going to be smooth sailing for long… but this is what makes it interesting…”
Wang Zijin's eyes were shining brightly.
There was a lot of motivation driving her on for the first time.
She finally met someone in this world who could make her heart flutter, so she naturally had to find a way to chase them down.
‘So what if Gu Changge has a marriage contract?'
‘As a transmigrator, will I not be able to fight an ordinary fiancee of his?'
[Kshn: Did this b***h just call Mingkong an ordinary fiancee?! Where's my gun?]
‘Huh?!'
Suddenly, Wang Zijin slightly frowned as she felt an unpleasant aura.
It was accompanied by a palpitating killing intent and icy cold air.
She got up from the bed.
“Who is it?” Wang Zijin's face turned cold, her eyes glanced across the four directions, and she asked coldly.
Her first thought was; that this visitor was definitely not a friend!
After all, the undisguised killing intent was overwhelming, like a turbulent ocean suffocating her.
Whether it was a False God, a True God, a Heavenly God, or a God King, all of them would tremble at this moment.
“The aura of a Sacred Realm…”
Wang Zijin frowned tightly. Even if she only stepped on the threshold of the Quasi-Sacred, she could be called a cultivator of the Sacred Realm.
But obviously, this aura wasn't of an ordinary Sacred Realm cultivator.
‘A Saint? a Supreme Saint? Or… a Great Saint?'1An existence in Sacred Realm, Supreme Sacred Realm and Great Sacred Realm, respectively.
A haze arose in Wang Zijin's heart.
She never expected that someone would dare to make a move on her on the Ancient Immortal Gu Family's territory.
Were they not afraid of being noticed?
“I just left the Ancestral Hall; why would anyone want to kill me?” Wang Zijin frowned and glanced around.
She had no idea who she had offended. Could it be that an enemy of the Ancient Immortal Wang Family had put their sights on her?
The entire palace was enveloped with tremendous pressure, causing several objects to tremble, and even the formation patterns carved into the ground started to glow.
Buzz!
A tall figure shrouded in a dense black radiance entered the palace at once, like a demon god returning from hell, draped in an intimidating Qi, the Demonic Aura.
The eyes were cold and indifferent, with ruthless intent, staring at her like a dead person.
“Who are you? How dare you act presumptuously on the grounds of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family?”
Wang Zijin asked coldly as her heart sank.
‘A Great Sacred Realm Existence!'
Currently, she wasn't an opponent of a powerhouse of this level.
Nowadays, the Ancient Immortal Gu Family had many strong individuals, not to mention how terrifying the heritage of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family was and how many supreme existences they had hidden.
Even in the palace beside her right now, many strong members of the Ancient Immortal Wang Family had come together to attend the birthday banquet.
Wang Zijin was perplexed and shocked.
How on earth could this person have the courage to show up to kill her?
Unless he was crazily stupid, something was wrong.
“At the command of my master, I have come to take your life.”
The tall, pitch-black figure spoke with a cold, ruthless voice as if blowing from the nine demons, carrying a murderous intent that swept across everything in heaven and earth.
The Great Sacred Realm's pressure was terrible, and he could easily shatter even the stars outside the realm.
“Master?”
Wang Zijin caught the word clearly.
She couldn't help but be alert in her heart.
‘A Great Sacred Realm existence calling someone master? What kind of identity do they have?'
‘To sneak in here quietly, he had most likely come with the Ancient Immortal Gu Family's many guests and was hidden among them.'
‘Taking advantage of the night's darkness to make a move.'
Thinking of this, Wang Zijin's expression turned cold. Although her cultivation was only in the Quasi-Sacred Realm and couldn't be an opponent of the Great Sacred Realm—
She did not have the feeling of being in a life-or-death situation; after all, once the commotion here escalated, it was bound to alert many powerful individuals to gather.
All she had to do was stall until all the strong individuals perceived the fluctuations in this place and came to her aid.
“Not good…”
But the next moment, her expression abruptly changed, looking shocked and surprised.
“How is this possible…”
Buzz!
An extremely mysterious and complex rune bloomed from the void, followed by a layer of bizarre fluctuations that engulfed the entire hall instantly.
A dense mist rose from all directions, obscuring and blurring even the sky.
At this point, a fierce battle was inevitable unless she used great strength to defeat the Great Sacred Realm existence or broke through the space with a Divine Artifact. No matter how tremendous the commotion was, it would be impossible for others to notice.
“It seems they were planning to kill me for a long time, even going as far as to prepare something like this.”
Wang Ziji's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and her brow furrowed tightly.
She soon understood everything, as a powerful secret treasure appeared in her jade hand.
A fierce battle was going to take place today.
No matter how powerful her talent was, she could never defeat a Great Saint while being in the Quasi-Sacred Realm!
It was a nightmare; if the other party truly wanted to kill her, it would be like crushing an ant to death.
The figure shrouded in dense black radiance revealed a cold yet indifferent smile.
“All of this has already been anticipated by my Master, so resistance is futile. Just wait for your death today. Dare to obstruct Master, and everyone in this world will perish, first you, then Gu Changge…”
Saying that, he struck towards the front, his big palm peeking forward, the void shattered, instantly overshadowing the crack in that place, to kill Wang Zijin.
This strike contained the supreme power of laws, yet the earlier concealment runes suppressed the disturbance to prevent others from being alerted.
Otherwise, the pressure of a Great Sacred Realm alone could easily shatter anything, let alone an actual strike!
“Who is your master?”
Hearing those words, especially Gu Changge's name being mentioned, Wang Zijin couldn't help but snort coldly, “Do you know my true identity?! Once the forces behind me find out, you will die without a burial place!”
Then, she sacrificed an exquisite string of multicoloured bone beads.
Each one was as big as a goose egg, emitting crystalline jewel light, like a shard of a star from beyond the realm, flowing with intense energy fluctuations.
A divine light bloomed.
They constructed a diagram of the constellations in the sky.
The ripples spread like a river of falling stars with a majestic aura and immediately enveloped the entire void below, a terrifying anomaly.
It was a Sacred-grade Artifact, and while it might not withstand a Great Sacred Realm existence's strike, it should be able to delay it for a while.
Wang Zijin felt a little anxious in her heart as she realized this.
The other party obviously planned beforehand for this assassination, as even an incomparably rare Heaven Deceiving Talisman was used to conceal the commotion happening in this place.
In this way, it seemed that this was a deliberate act and that the other party's target, in addition to her, was Gu Changge.
“You are not worthy of knowing the Master's name.”
“In this life, you are destined to perish at the hands of Master! His name? A dead person shouldn't be concerned about that.”
The dark and tall figure sneered, its big palm easily tearing apart the star diagram, causing the shrouded sky to collapse.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bone beads bloomed and exploded, and a hazy red wisp disintegrated into the empty void.
With a single strike, he easily destroyed Wang Zijin's secret treasure.
‘Are they… related to the Forbidden Demonic Arts' Inheritor?'
Wang Zijin suddenly figured it out at this point. A chill ran down her spine as she thought about that person and his actions.
At the same time, her expression turned even colder. To lurk so blatantly inside the Ancient Immortal Gu Family's residence to assassinate her…
Such courage was too great!
Moreover, the other party was likely aware of her identity!
‘There must be some organization behind the Demonic Arts' inheritor instead of just a single person.'
“I'd like to see how long you can last!”
The tall black figure sneered again, his massive palms rumbled by, and the mist surged, revealing an amusing game of cat-and-mouse.
They seemed to be in no rush to kill Wang Zijin immediately and instead aimed to make her despair by torturing her slowly.
Since, for the strongest existence under the Quasi-Supreme Realm, killing a Quasi-Sacred Realm cultivator would be as simple as killing an ant!
“This is my chance…”
Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry to kill her, Wang Zijin's eyes flashed with a sharp intent as her figure hurriedly retreated backwards.
Many Divine Artifacts were used just now to resist the enemy's assault.
‘Since ancient times, villains have always died from talking too much.'
‘I didn't expect this to be so true.'
She couldn't help but sigh with relief, knowing that as long as she delayed enough and waited for someone to notice the disturbance, she would be saved.
She truly didn't want to use her biggest trump card until the very last second. Furthermore, she wasn't sure whether the treasures given by the Wang Family's old ancestors back then could even stop this Great Sacred Realm existence.
After all, which Young Supreme had ever had to deal with a Great Sacred Realm powerhouse trying to assassinate them as soon as they stepped out of the seclusion?
Others would have been crushed into a cloud of blood mist in an instant.
Puff!
But soon, Wang Zijin discovered that she was thinking too much. Despite her many Divine Artifacts, she couldn't withstand the pressure of a Great Sacred Realm existence and was struck with a hard blow, coughing up blood as she flew out backwards.
There were several broken bones, resulting in excruciating pain.
“Is this the strength of a Great Sacred Realm existence?”
[Kshn: Reminded me of: “Is this the power of a God?” from Naruto.]
Wang Zijin's face was a little pale.
Her long white dress was stained red with blood; it was the first time in her life that she was in such a bad state.
“Is today really going to be my last day in this new world?”
Such a thought suddenly came to her mind, but she was reluctant.
‘It was hard to meet someone who touched my heart; do I have to die here?'
Wang Zijin reached into her sleeve and pulled out a piece of gold paper.
“Heh, the master has already calculated everything; no one can save you today.”
The black figure said indifferently, a dreadful aura, even the stars shattered and plummeted towards Wang Zijin.
After sending the demonic puppet to assassinate Wang Zijin, Gu Changge left the hall, took one step, and appeared high in the sky.
The night breeze ble
