Chapter 2: Long Tian's divergence
Looking at the jade, Li Guowu felt confused. "Is there something special about this jade?" He asked curiously.
"Very special," Long Tian nodded, still grinning.
Then he grabbed his bag. "Let's go," he said, and immediately left the abandoned place.
Li Guowu and the others followed Long Tian from behind, although their minds were filled with unanswered questions.
*********
Meanwhile, deep within a forest, inside a secluded cave...
"That bastard, Long Tian! He took my jade!" An angry voice echoed within the cave.
Bang!
A punch shattered a sizable rock. Qin Chen was truly enraged at Long Tian.
Not only had he kidnapped Yue'er, but he had also taken the jade from his family.
"Long Tian, I will take my revenge!" He vowed.
Fortunately, he still had a divine family artifact—a teleportation disk—that had transported him to a remote location.
Although it sounded great, it only functioned when he was in imminent danger, like earlier.
Without giving it much thought, Qin Chen started to leave the cave, limping slightly from the beatings he received from Long Tian.
In his mind, the name Long Tian was added to the list of people he needed to teach a lesson.
***********
Meanwhile, Long Tian, Li Guowu, and the others were standing near a Rolls-Royce.
Long Tian opened the car door to reveal a schoolgirl sitting inside, her mouth taped and hands tied.
"Mmhh! Mmh!" The girl struggled as soon as she saw Long Tian.
But Long Tian just smiled, "Good afternoon, Yue'er," he warmly greeted.
"Mmmh!" Li Yue'er struggled even more upon hearing his words.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill Qin Chen," he said with a mischievous smile.
"Mmmh!" Li Yue'er's struggling intensified, and she even started kicking the car floor.
"Okay, no need for any further pleasantries. Sit tight and enjoy the ride," Long Tian said with a grin, then closed the car door.
Then he looked at Li Guowu and the others, "You guys can head home first. And I won't be at the cafe tonight as usual. So, enjoy your time," he said casually.
Everyone nodded, but it was Li Guowu who stepped forward and patted Long Tian's shoulder. "You too, enjoy your time with Li Yue'er, haha," he chuckled.
"Don't worry about that," Long Tian grinned.
With that, he got into the car and drove away from the place.
*********
A few minutes passed, and Long Tian was on the highway, heading to his villa.
Throughout the drive, he ignored Li Yue'er's grumbling because his mind was occupied with something else.
The world he now resided in was a novel world with a modern cultivation setting, where cultivators truly existed. nove-lb.1n
Mystical things like releasing fire from the body, splitting the sea, and living for thousands of years weren't just myths. Even wild beasts and monsters were real.
The cultivation system was also real, with 5 realms and 9 levels: Body Tempering, Qi Foundation, Nascent Soul, Golden Core, and Transcendent.
But he clearly wasn't pleased with all these; he had transmigrated into the body of a notorious second-generation villain.
Long Tian, originating from the ancient Long family, was both a genius and wealthy.
With all that, people thought he would undoubtedly live in peace, but only he knew how tragic it was to be Long Tian in this novel.
Throughout the story, he was always losing to Qin Chen, the protagonist. Whether it was in love affairs or cultivation, he was always on the losing side.
But one thing concerned him...
Why hadn't a system appeared?!
He was quite worried. When he transmigrated, a system should have appeared as well.
It was like a golden finger that he should have obtained when something like transmigration occurred.
But if it didn't appear, he could only rely on his abilities to face Qin Chen.
His identity as a genius and the young master of the Long family could also be considered a golden finger.
'No matter whether the system exists or not, I can't just sit back and let the plot flow.' he thought.
He couldn't keep contemplating the existence of a system. The most reasonable action was to believe in his abilities.
'Anyway, I kidnapped Li Yue'er, which means Qin Chen has already considered me his enemy. There's no way back to peace, so I must kill you, Qin Chen,' Long Tian thought.
Somehow, ever since he transmigrated, he had naturally wanted to make Qin Chen his enemy.
Everything had happened, and he certainly couldn't take back his actions by apologizing and reconciling with him.
Besides, he had obtained Li Yue'er and the jade. Surely, he knew the jade wasn't an ordinary item, and that it was a significant reason why Qin Chen could become stronger.
As for Li Yue'er, the previous Long Tian had been overcome by lust and dared to kidnap Li Yue'er, a student council president. Of course, he couldn't resist her beauty and attractive body.
Fortunately, he hadn't transmigrated too late. If he had let the jade function, he would have certainly lost.
Meanwhile, Li Yue'er kept struggling, grumbling, and moving, making as much noise as possible to get Long Tian to release her. But it seemed all her efforts were in vain because Long Tian turned on a loud song.
All she could do was surrender and hope for a miracle.
After half an hour, Long Tian and Li Yue'er arrived in front of the gate of a large villa near the mountains.
The gate was opened by a muscular man dressed in black.
"Welcome home, Young Master," the muscular man greeted Long Tian and bowed respectfully.
Long Tian merely nodded, then parked the car in front of the villa.
He turned off the music and immediately got out of the car.
He snapped his fingers, and one of the muscular men came to him.
"Take her inside," he said casually.
"Yes, Young Master," the muscular man obediently nodded.
With that, he opened the car door and led Li Yue'er into the villa.
