C7 Disloyalty!

"System, how many villain's points can I earn if I go through with this?" Yuwen Tian inquired.

"It all depends on the extent to which the host can provoke Jing Yuzhu. The more intense her reaction and the more heartlessly you act, the more villain's points you will accumulate."

Oh, really?

Yuwen Tian mulled over the situation: "I never intended to be so ruthless, but for the sake of villain's points, for my ideals, I must do things that go against my conscience."

"Yes, that's it. I'm a young man with aspirations." Yuwen Tian reassured himself, feeling a newfound clarity in his soul.

Rainbow Peak within the Heaven Sect was exclusively for the residence of female disciples, and Yuwen Tian strode confidently into the area.

The Heaven Sect had a limited number of female true disciples, and the most renowned among them was known as the Rainbow Fairy, Cai Hongqing.

Cai Hongqing was not only stunningly beautiful but also possessed the formidable power of the Xiantian ninth level. Most notably, at only 25 years old, she epitomized the grace of a celestial maiden.

Atop Rainbow Peak, Cai Hongqing and a few of her sisters were admiring the scenery from a pavilion.

"Sister Qing, the selection for the Holy Son of Heaven is in three months. Who do you think is most likely to be chosen?" Zhao Qingqing, another true disciple, asked.

"If Yang Fann weren't in the picture, I'd say Yuwen Tian would be the prime candidate. But with rumors of Yang Fann's participation, Yuwen Tian doesn't stand a chance," Cai Hongqing responded with a smile.

"You're right. Yang Fann was the most powerful among the previous true disciples. His cultivation has now reached the fearsome Fourth Sky of the Violet Palace Realm. Yuwen Tian, no matter how exceptional, simply can't compete with Yang Fann," Ning Qing concurred with Cai Hongqing's assessment.

"Actually, I see more potential in Yuwen Tian. He's only twenty years old and has the backing of the Supreme Elder," Cai Hongqing added after a pause.

"Hehe, in fact, many of the Heaven Sect's disciples are rooting for Yuwen Tian to become the Holy Son of Heaven."

Several people were chatting casually, yet their conversation was laced with admiration for Yuwen Tian.

At that moment, Yuwen Tian had made his way to Rainbow Peak.

"Sister Qing, Brother Yuwen Tian mentioned he has something to discuss with you."

"Yuwen Tian? What does he want with me?" Cai Hongqing, seated in the pavilion admiring the view, was momentarily taken aback. "I'll go check it out."

"There's no need, Cai Hongqing. I'm already here." With a confident stride, Yuwen Tian covered the distance to the pavilion in just a few moments.

"Hello, everyone." Yuwen Tian greeted Cai Hongqing and her sisters with a warm smile.

"Brother Yuwen Tian, you're my idol! I never imagined I'd get to meet you up close. You're incredibly cool!" Zhao Qingqing's eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke.

With a graceful hand gesture, Yuwen Tian responded with a smile, "You're too kind, sister."

"Yuwen Tian, what's on your mind?" asked Cai Hongqing, smiling.

"Well, of course, I have a reason. Why else would I come to see you?" Yuwen Tian replied. "However, this is a matter I need to discuss with you alone, so would the rest of you lovely ladies mind giving us some space?"

"What? Why can't you discuss it in front of us? We're all close with Cai Hongqing," Ning Qing said, clearly displeased.

"Yeah, why all the secrecy? It's as if you have something to hide. Why does it have to be a private conversation with Cai Hongqing?" Zhao Qingqing chimed in, feeling left out.

Cai Hongqing paused, puzzled by Yuwen Tian's unusual behavior, which didn't align with the colder image she had of him.

"Alright, let's find a different spot to talk," Cai Hongqing suggested with a hint of curiosity in her voice, before walking off with Yuwen Tian.

"Could there be something brewing between our Rainbow Fairy and Yuwen Tian?" Zhao Qingqing mused, her curiosity piqued.

Yuwen Tian and Cai Hongqing strolled leisurely across Rainbow Peak.

"The thing is, I mainly need to ask for your assistance with a matter," Yuwen Tian said.

Cai Hongqing's expression grew even more peculiar. Yuwen Tian was not only of a higher cultivation level than she was, but he also had the backing of a supreme elder in the Heaven Sect. Despite this, she inquired, "What do you need help with?"

"It's quite straightforward. I want you to be my girlfriend," Yuwen Tian stated earnestly.

"What?" Even the usually unflappable Cai Hongqing was taken aback by his words. Was Yuwen Tian out of his mind?

"How about it? The task is simple enough, isn't it?" Yuwen Tian pressed.

"Look for someone else. This is not something I can do," Cai Hongqing responded, feeling that despite Yuwen Tian's favorable qualities, his approach was far too abrupt.

Yuwen Tian's demeanor turned icy in an instant. "Haha, do you really think you have the right to refuse me?"

The formidable aura of Yuwen Tian's Zifu realm immediately engulfed Cai Hongqing, rendering her immobile.

"If you wish to die, feel free to refuse. I'll give you one more chance: be my girlfriend or reject me?" Yuwen Tian's chilling words were laced with a palpable threat, and the temperature around them seemed to plummet.

Cai Hongqing hadn't anticipated Yuwen Tian's coercive tactics. He was genuinely threatening her.

Yet, Cai Hongqing was acutely aware that Yuwen Tian was indeed willing to kill her.

"Fine, I agree," Cai Hongqing retorted, glaring at Yuwen Tian with anger seething through her clenched teeth.

"Hehe, that's more like it. Only the wise know when to yield," Yuwen Tian said with a smirk, waving his hand to dissipate the oppressive aura surrounding Cai Hongqing, who immediately felt a significant relief.

"Hmph! Yuwen Tian, I can't fathom why someone like you, who could easily find a girlfriend with a mere gesture, would choose me," Cai Hongqing challenged him, visibly upset.

Yuwen Tian shrugged nonchalantly. "Why not? You're quite the celebrity within the Heaven Sect, known as the Rainbow Fairy. Who else would I pursue if not you?"

Left speechless by Yuwen Tian's irrational and domineering behavior, Cai Hongqing had no response.

In time, Yuwen Tian and Cai Hongqing grew more acquainted, often strolling together and enjoying the scenery.

Half a month had passed, and during that time, Yuwen Tian hadn't engaged in any cultivation. Instead, he focused on strengthening his bonds with Cai Hongqing and Jing Yuzhu.

Atop Sky Peak, Yuwen Tian sensed it was the right moment and summoned Hu. "Hu, please inform Jing Yuzhu to come to Sky Peak at this time tomorrow evening. I'd like to invite her out."

Hu acknowledged the command and departed.

Yuwen Tian then made his way to Rainbow Peak.

"Wen Tian." Over the past fortnight, Cai Hongqing had come to see Yuwen Tian's domineering nature as not entirely negative, and she had grown quite fond of him. She greeted him with warmth upon his arrival.

Yuwen Tian approached and embraced Cai Hongqing, whispering into her ear with a warm breath, "Rainbow, join me at Heavenly Peak tomorrow night. I have a grand surprise for you."

The warmth of Yuwen Tian's breath left Cai Hongqing's head spinning, and she nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll be there."

The following evening, Cai Hongqing made her way to Sky Peak, where Yuwen Tian awaited her arrival. The moon cast a brilliant glow across the land, and the night sky was a tapestry of twinkling stars, illuminating Heaven's Peak beautifully.

"Rainbow, you look stunning today," Yuwen Tian complimented with a smile.

Cai Hongqing joined Yuwen Tian, allowing the night breeze to play with her long, dark hair as she gazed up at the star-filled heavens.

"Wen Tian, why does everything feel so surreal?" Cai Hongqing asked perceptively.

Yuwen Tian, holding Cai Hongqing close, reassured her, "Don't worry about it. I'll reveal a tremendous surprise to you shortly."

"What kind of surprise? And why the wait? Must it be so mysterious?" Cai Hongqing playfully chided.

Inside, Yuwen Tian remained unfazed. If it weren't for the need to earn villain's points, he wouldn't bother with such trivialities.

"Jing Yuzhu should be arriving soon," Yuwen Tian thought to himself. His formidable spiritual power from the Violet Palace Realm silently extended over thousands of meters, ready to act as soon as Jing Yuzhu appeared.

"Ah, she's arrived."

Upon sensing her presence, Yuwen Tian immediately pulled Cai Hongqing into his arms and kissed her without a word.

"Could this be the surprise Wen Tian mentioned?" Cai Hongqing felt lightheaded, her cheeks flushing a delicate pink.

Yuwen Tian murmured into Cai Hongqing's ear, "Don't worry, this isn't the surprise. It's merely a prelude to what's coming. The real surprise will definitely amaze you."

Hearing this, Cai Hongqing's heart swelled with anticipation for the surprise Yuwen Tian had hinted at.

Jing Yuzhu arrived at Sky Peak in high spirits, eagerly anticipating her date with Yuwen Tian.

"Hehe, she's here." Detecting her approach, Yuwen Tian's lips curled into a mischievous grin as he deepened his kiss with Cai Hongqing.

The instant Jing Yuzhu laid eyes on Yuwen Tian, she froze, standing motionless as she rubbed her eyes vigorously, staring in disbelief at the intense kiss unfolding before her.

Boom!

A thunderous noise erupted in Jing Yuzhu's mind, her head buzzing as she struggled to keep her balance, murmuring to herself, "Impossible, this can't be happening..."

"Yuwen Tian, you..." Overcome with emotion, Jing Yuzhu cried out, tears swirling in her eyes. A searing pain tore through her heart, so intense it felt inescapable.

Cai Hongqing, now aware of Jing Yuzhu's presence, exchanged a glance with Yuwen Tian, equally at a loss.

Yuwen Tian walked over to Jing Yuzhu, her eyes brimming with tears, and said icily, "Jing Yuzhu, meet Cai Hongqing, my girlfriend. As for you, we're done. So, don't show your face around me again, or I'll make you regret it every time I do."

Yuwen Tian's chilling tone sent a shiver of fear through the air.
