nZhang Wei had amassed a whopping fifty villain points after getting down and dirty with Rong Meili, but he didn’t give a damn about points anymore.

nHe was more interested in milking that little princess for all she’s worth!

nJust a few drops of her milk could give him a thousand villain points and a whole lot of yin essence.

nFeng Xinyue had no clue about Zhang Wei’s diabolical plans for her.

nIf she did, she’d be running for the hills faster than a bat out of hell.

nZhang Wei scanned the room for any cultivators, relieved to find none.

nThe system had warned him about hidden cultivators in this world, and he didn’t want to end up on their ** list.

nSuddenly, the door to the top floor room creaked open and a dude stumbled out.

nZhang Wei furrowed his brow in annoyance, but quickly shrugged it off.

nIt was hardly surprising that someone as old as the dragon lady hadn’t gotten any action in a while. A

n======

nZhang Wei looked puzzled and asked, “What in the world is this behavior system?”

nHe couldn’t believe that a pig-faced individual like Ye Feng could have divine talent.

nWasn’t it supposed to be rare?

nThe system struggled to explain, but finally revealed that Ye Feng was one of the chosen guardians of the lower world.

nIn the past, every hundred years, a fierce battle is fought among all the guardians in an ancient arena, and the winner is awarded one of the nine heavenly treasures that exist in the universe:

nThe Celestial Sword

nThe Golden Bow

nThe Crown of Immortality

nThe Armor of Light

nThe Book of Destiny 𝒪𝑽𝓵xt.𝒸𝔬𝑀

nThe Jade Pendant

nThe Heavenly Staff

nThe Jade Flute

nThe Heavenly Mirror

nIn the arena, the past winners of the tournament must participate, and surrender their heavenly treasures.

nIf they make it to the top nine, they can keep their treasures, otherwise, they gotta hand it over like a hot potato.

nThis means that any guardian who wants to win a heavenly treasure must battle the winners of the past nine tournaments, and at least defeat one of them.

nTalk about a tough competition!

nThis whole system was created by the first supreme ruler of the heavenly planes, who was also the creator of those heavenly treasures.

nApparently, it was created for entertainment purposes, and to determine the future representatives of the lower worlds.

nThe guardians themselves are a product of the will of the lower worlds, and possess exceptional cultivation talents.

nIt’s still a mystery how the supreme ruler was able to influence the will of the world itself and make such a deal.

nBut one thing’s for sure, that supreme ruler was not only the creator of this tournament system, but also the nine heavenly treasures themselves.

nMust have been one powerful dude or lady, it’s still unclear!

nHowever, the tournaments came to a halt after the disappearance of the supreme ruler.

nThe celestials altered the formation of the ancient arena, rendering it dysfunctional.

nThey killed all the existing guardians and snatched their heavenly treasures from them.

nAfter so many years, many treasures disappeared in the vast history, forever unseen.

nBut even those who found them were not that lucky.

nThe heavenly treasures were crafted in such a manner that only a being of the lower world could link their soul to the spirit of the treasure.

nIf any celestial tried to use the heavenly treasures, they would have to pay the price for each use.

nCurrently, there is only one known heavenly treasure in possession of the Sky God, which is the heavenly staff.

nAs for the rest of the eight treasures, they were lost in history.

nAfter the disappearance of the first supreme ruler of the heavenly planes, numerous emperors came and went, but none had the willingness to restore the ancient arena.

nInitially some celestials feared the wrath of the supreme ruler, if he might return, while others simply didn’t care.

nBut even with the arena in ruins, the will of the world kept producing talented guardians.

nNow, why wouldn’t the celestials just recruit these excessively talented guardians into their sects?

nWell, the answer is simple: they can’t.

nThe guardians have a major limitation – after ascending to become a celestial, they’re not allowed to leave the lower world for an extended period of time.

nIt’s like being grounded by your mom, but on a cosmic level.

nThis is also the reason why even with the heavenly treasures in their possession, the guardians were easily butchered by the celestials in the past.

nAfter reaching a certain realm, cultivating in this lower plane becomes too darn hard. So, it’s like having a fancy sword but no arms to wield it.

nThus now these guardians, only served as entertainment purpose of the celestials above, while some celestials took capable guardians as their puppet to have a link to lower world.

nThe celestials monitor the guardians for any capable puppet.

nSo now guardians are nothing more than merely puppets of celestials.

nZhang Wei listened in horror as the system explained the history of the guardians and their current state as mere puppets for the celestials above.

nHe couldn’t bear the thought of being controlled by others and losing his freedom.

nZhang Wei calmly stated, his voice excessively politely, contrasting his words. ‘If I’m going to be a guardian, I’d rather take a swan dive off the nearest cliff than be someone’s puppet. And I’ll make sure to take you with me, dear system!’

nThe system remained silent, sensing the fear and anxiety in Zhang Wei’s voice.

nFor the first time, Zhang Wei felt anxious about his future as a guardian.

nThe System finally chimed in, giving Zhang Wei some much-needed reassurance.

nOh, the host doesn’t need to worry! You’re not involved with guardians or their pesky restrictions. You can ignore them or dispose of them as you wish!

nZhang Wei let out a sigh of relief, though he still didn’t fully trust the system.

nBut what other choice did he have?

nThen he remembered the million-dollar question: what about Feng Xinyue? ‘Will her existence be exposed to the celestials if any of their guardians catch sight of us together? They might as well descend from the heavens to personally butcher me.’

nZhang Wei was contemplating throwing Feng Xinyue out of his house and hiding her in a cave somewhere.

nHe might appear carefree, but in his heart he was well aware of the consequences of eying the celestial princess.

nBut the system had an answer: The spell around Feng Xinyue will protect her from those sharp celestials’ eyes. And as for you, the system will make sure your existence is kept secret. You can go around killing guardians without any problem, the system will hide you! Guardians aren’t immortal, they often die, so it shouldn’t arouse much suspicion.

nThe system lady spoke with a proud tone, as if to say, “I got you!”

nBut then she added a caveat: But be careful, host. The spell won’t work on Sky God. If he’s monitoring any guardian, Feng Xinyue’s existence will be exposed!

nZhang Wei’s expression changed as he thought of something, ‘I wonder if I can take on Sky God?’

nHe couldn’t resist confirming his strategy with the system.

nThat won’t work. the system replied flatly.

nAs Zhang Wei listened to the system’s explanation, he wasn’t exactly surprised.

nHis strategy was pretty straightforward: hide and play until he reaches the peak of divine immortal level, which is the highest realm possible in this lower world.

nThen, he’d purposely reveal his existence to Sky God and tempt him to come down to this world.

nThe will of this world would limit Sky God’s powers, just like in the case of Feng Xinyue.

nZhang Wei could then take advantage of this opportunity and slay the Sky God.

nUnfortunately, it appeared that the Sky God was too powerful to be limited by the will of a small world.

nInviting him down was like inviting death, and he might as well destroy the entire lower plane.

nZhang Wei was still contemplating whether he should keep Feng Xinyue close to him or not.

nIt was highly unlikely that Sky God would personally monitor some long-abandoned guardians by himself.

nThe task might be delegated to his underlings, or it might just be some random celestials messing around.

nIn the end, Zhang Wei decided to take the risk.

nHowever, he would still try his best to not appear in front of any guardian along with Feng Xinyue.

nStill, there was something that bothered him. ‘Does Sky God not care about his daughter?’ he wondered.

nHe didn’t want to look like a scumbag, but if he had a daughter as beautiful as Feng Xinyue, he might as well keep her to himself.

nThe system replied, Host is underestimating the Sky God. He is a man obsessed with cultivation, not caring about any material thing! The only reason he might even have children would be to carry forward his legacy. This type of behavior isn’t uncommon among those with immortal life.

nZhang Wei nodded, pretending to understand everything.

n‘Well, at least I don’t have to worry about escaping from that little nizi’s obsessed father,’ he thought to himself.

nSince the father didn’t seem to give a damn about his daughter, Zhang Wei decided to teach her a new word.

n‘Why not have her address me as Daddy?’ he chuckled to himself.

nThe Sky God himself would cough up blood and die if he heard such bold words coming from Zhang Wei.

nBut hey, he couldn’t resist the chance to mess with the little girl’s head, while she is still helpless.

nIs the novel going the route where Zhang Wei will hunt other protagonists? Not exactly… As you can see, I am trying to do something different.

nOn another note, Zhang Wei has no relations with being a guardian, he have book of destiny due to other reasons.

nThe Dragon Lady is still virgin ° o °
