[Ding! Congratulations on successfully plundering Xiao Yingxia’s Halo, considering her first heroine identity, the Villain Halo that the Host will be rewarded with will be twofold: 3600 points!]

[Ding! Congratulations Host on receiving the special reward for subduing the first heroine, Superior Grade Skill: Imperial Swordsmanship!]

...

His attribute panel showed up before him in the blink of an eye.

...

When Li Mubai plundered Xiao Qingcheng's Halo, he received double the Villain Halo, and having surpassed 10,000 Villain Halo points, he made a breakthrough to become an Intermediate Villain.

He had not used the lottery ticket that he had obtained that day.

And now, he had also plundered Xiao Yingxia's Halo and received two-fold Villain Halo points.

Tsk-

Li Mubai had now become a prominent villain with 14000 Villain Luck points!

Although the system had rated him as an intermediate villain, he could already squash the Protagonists he had encountered so far with ease!

Moreover, he also had 184,900 villain points!

‘System, upgrade my cultivation base to the Middle stages of Innate Realm!’

Li Mubai thought to himself.

[Ding! 180,000 villain points have been consumed. Successfully upgraded Host’s cultivation base to the middle stages of the Innate Realm!]

In an instant, Li Mubai could feel the true qi within his body become much denser and condensed.

Compared to the early stages of the Innate Realm, someone in the middle stages of Innate Realm would be at least tenfold powerful!

"Young Master Li, are you ok...?"

Seeing that Li Mubai had stopped moving, Xiao Yingxia, enduring the pain, asked looking at him.

"It’s nothing..."

Li Mubai had a faint smile.

As he had made a breakthrough, he was now in a good mood.

As a result, the steamy battle ensued which had gradually come to an end at dawn.

***

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Mubai dropped Xiao Yingxia in the neighborhood where her family lived.

"Yingxia!"

Han Qiansan had been waiting for her downstairs of their home all night.

The previous night Li family’s secret guards had tailed him and Yang Qi but didn’t target them.

Rather, they went their own way.

That was why Han Qiansan could now show up here at this moment.

However, after seeing Xiao Yingxia dressed in the same black evening gown from the night before, get down from Li Mubai's car, Han Qiansan's eyes turned bloodshot.

Having been awake all night, on top of being both mentally and physically exhausted, he looked tired and haggard.

[Ding! Host’s villainous behavior caused the exhausted Han Qiansan to become resentful of the Host, rewarding 1500 villain points!]

Li Mubai sneered at Han Qiansan.

Lifting his hand, he flicked his finger, and a Life and Death Amulet entered Han Qiansan's body.

The Life and Death Amulet used by the Innate Realm expert wasn’t something Han Qiansan who was at the later stages of Dark-Jin Realm could detect.

Within a few hours, the amulet that entered Han Qiansan's body would begin to act on his heart and would lead to his sudden demise!

Li Mubai had a faint smile.

After taking a last look at Han Qiansan, he drove off.

Li Mubai didn’t kill Han Qiansan the previous night not because he had any special hobbies or anything. Rather, it was something he had to do.

With Han Qiansan having his Protagonist Halo to protect him, it was close to impossible for his Li family’s secret guards to kill him!

Moreover, during the process, he might fall off a cliff or something and have a fortuitous encounter which would be quite troublesome instead.

So, Li Mubai chose to act on the Protagonist in person.

Besides, Han Qiansan was a member of the Han family in the imperial capital.

Eliminating the weeds by roots was how Li Mubai handled the matters at hand.

Only after a thorough scheming would he make a move.

Even if Han Qiansan was now in exile, Li Mubai didn’t want to leave behind any potential dangers. 

According to the description of the plot, Han Qiansan's mother and elder sister would arrive at Jinghai in two days.

As the eldest son of the Han family was imprisoned, the Han family had no choice but to look for Han Qiansan and bring him back to reassure the public.

Li Mubai thought to himself. He was also interested in this Han family...

It was because according to the description in the plot, Han Qiansan's elder sister, Han Yue, was seemingly a cold beauty with a haughty personality.

And what Li Mubai loved to do the most was to trample on such cold beauty's arrogance bit by bit...

***

"Yingxia!"

Seeing Xiao Yingxia who was walking somewhat clumsily with her pair of ‘Crystal Love’ high-heeled shoes, Han Qiansan felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

However, seeing Han Qiansan, her facial expression didn’t change whatsoever. She had her usual cold and icy expression as always despite what happened the previous night.

When she saw Han Qiansan at this moment, she ignored him and walked into her home, and went upstairs.

Han Qiansan followed behind her in silence.

"Ah, Yingxia, you mama’s girl, have come back at last!"

The thing that surprised Xiao Yingxia was that her mother who had probably forgotten that she was her kin because of the marriage between her and Han Qiansan, was waiting in the living room for her this early in the morning.

"Patriarch knew everything that happened at the cocktail party last night. He called me and was all praises for you. You know what, he told he’d give more dividends for our family this year!"

"Hehe…"

“Who would’ve thought that you’d end up making a connection with the young master of the Li family last night!"

"Ah, that little bit of dividends is trivial to mom compared to you!"

Xiao Yingxia's mother's name was Jiang Lan.

With a bright smile, she changed the subject and immediately asked staring at Xiao Yingxia: "Yingxia, you didn’t return home last night. Did you perhaps do the deed with Young Master Li already...?"
