Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

Qin Huaiyu frowned. There was no opening in the pool; it was stagnant water with no flow.

That sound from just now?

...There are living things!

"There's a problem, stop it now!" he warned.

"Don't worry, it's alright, I'm perfectly fine!"

The person and the soul simply thought he was being overly cautious, and gave him a casual reply before throwing themselves back into the spiritual water.

Just as they were drinking heartily...

Suddenly, ripples spread across the water from a distance.

"Splash, splash..."

The sound of flowing water followed immediately.

Both the human and the soul heard the noise and instantly stopped moving, looking ahead.

Qin Huaiyu's gaze froze, and he saw a person standing up in the water beside the Purple Origin Tree.

Is it a child?

He was somewhat hesitant to confirm, as this thing was simply too unusual.

They're like children, but also like wild animals.

It is about a few feet tall and about the size of a child. It is humanoid and upright, but its body is covered with black and gold down.

It has two round, hairy ears on its head, golden hair on its forehead shaped like the Chinese character "王" (king), a pair of big, bright eyes that are also golden, and long fangs in its small mouth.

Besides, this thing also has a pure black tail, and its appearance is simply like a human tiger cub.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on my territory!" The little guy splashed its tail on the water, put its paws on its hips, and looked very aggressive.

Damn, it can even talk!

Qin Huaiyu was dumbfounded, unable to identify what kind of species it was.

Ci Ning's eyes were glazed over, and the water she drank suddenly tasted unappetizing, even making her feel nauseous.

After all, I wasn't mistaken; the little guy was soaking in there. Who knows if he has any unusual hobbies?

For example, urinating or defecating anywhere!

Youlong's old face froze. "This is... a tiger... a tiger cub?"

"What tiger cub!"

The little guy bared his teeth and said angrily:

"I am the Black Gold Mystic Tiger, how could that brainless, furry beast compare to me!"

"Black Gold Tiger!"

Ci Ning was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

"What, you know him?" Qin Huaiyu asked quickly when he saw the change in his expression.

Ci Ning's beautiful eyes widened, and she said:

"The Black Gold Tiger is an ancient mythical beast, fearsome and powerful. It is among the top-tier beasts in the mythical beast catalog. According to ancient records, its race is rare, its bloodline is exceptionally strong, and it possesses racial inheritance. It can transform and gain intelligence in its infancy, and its adult form is comparable to an unparalleled power, capable of shaking the universe!"

Uh, a strange beast? You must be mistaken!

Qin Huaiyu looked left and right; this was the first time he had ever come into contact with this ancient, legendary species.

It's so fierce and intimidating, is that all?

With his chubby, goofy face, like the neighbor's silly son, this guy is way too much...

The little guy seemed quite pleased with what it heard, and it proudly raised its head, looking like a big shot.

"Ha, you're quite knowledgeable, knowing how powerful I am."

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance. Become my underlings, and I'll forgive you for stealing my water. Otherwise, hehe!"

As it spoke, it gave a sinister smile.

...You've actually put that on? That's childish thinking, not a shred of depth.

Qin Huaiyu was speechless, but soon a thought struck him, and he said:

"What else can we do?"

"It's simple, I'll just eat you all!" the little guy said, not forgetting to show off his fangs.

Qin Huaiyu chuckled, then feigned fear and said:

"No...no...I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."

"But you need real skills to recruit us as underlings, otherwise how can we respect you?"

The little guy frowned, "It seems so. Tell me your real skills. There's nothing in this world that I can't do."

Damn, that brat deserves a beating!

Qin Huaiyu's lips twitched, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to punch someone.

"In that case, how about we have a contest of poetry and prose?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Zhongci Ning and You Long couldn't help but roll their eyes, as if to say, "You're really shameless."

The little guy was also stunned, lowered his proud head, and looked away with his big eyes, saying:

"Um... I've been soaking in water too much lately, so my brain isn't working too well. Let's skip the poetry and songs."

"..." Ci Ning, what a perfect match! The older one is shameless, and the younger one is even more shameless. But what does Qin Huaiyu want to do?

Why does it feel like they're setting a trap again?

"..." Youlong, this fur is really well-deserved.

Qin Huaiyu spread his hands. "If you don't agree, then you decide. What's the point of comparing?"

After hearing this, the little guy's big eyes darted around, and he said:

"If you lose in a duel, you'll become my underlings."

Ha, I've been tricked!

Qin Huaiyu pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"A duel is fine, but let's make it clear beforehand: what happens if you lose, to ensure fairness?"

"Defeat? I am the Black Tiger, how could I possibly lose!"

"That's right. Your clan's fierce reputation is undeniable, and we absolutely cannot lose. But for the sake of fairness, there must be some conditions. Otherwise, it would damage your prestige if word got out," Qin Huaiyu tempted.

The little guy thought about it and realized it made sense, so he said:

"Fine, my reputation is important. The conditions remain the same: if I lose, I'll become your underling!"

"not enough!"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head, a thought flashing through his mind, and continued:

"With your status, why are you still being so stingy? Adding more conditions would make you seem more generous."

The little guy hesitated. Although he was a child, he wasn't stupid, and he felt that something was wrong.

"What? Does the mighty Xuanhu think he'll lose?" Qin Huaiyu provoked.

One sentence dispelled the little guy's last bit of hesitation.

"Tell me, add what?"

Indeed, when dealing with children, reverse psychology is the most effective method.

Qin Huaiyu was secretly pleased, but on the surface he remained expressionless and said:

"The purple fruit on that tree."

Upon hearing this, Ci Ning finally understood Qin Huaiyu's intention.

They not only wanted to obtain the Purple Essence Fruit by eating and taking things, but also to subdue the Black Tiger.

This is completely underestimating the tiger and treating it like a fool.

But the little guy was so teased that he kept trying to crawl inside.

The Black Gold Tiger's reputation spanning generations is about to be completely destroyed!

Youlong silently mourned for three minutes; this strange beast was doomed.

Upon closer reflection...

I would have fallen for it too; this guy has completely figured out my psychology.

"Very well, I agree!"

The little guy agreed without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Qin Huaiyu immediately waved to the person and soul in the pool.

Ci Ning and You Long quickly left the pool, clearing the area.

"bring it on!"

Qin Huaiyu beckoned.

"Hmph, arrogant!"

The little guy was enraged by Qin Huaiyu's nonchalant attitude. How dare he provoke him first? He was practically asking for trouble.

"Today I will beat you to the ground and make you kneel and call me 'Big Brother'!"

Having said that, its aura surged, and in an instant, golden light rose up.

A huge tiger phantom appeared behind the little guy.

Its body is covered with black and gold fur, its limbs are as thick as pillars, and it has a pair of bony wings on its back, which are white in color.

Its enormous head lowered slightly forward, revealing fangs in its mouth, and its fist-sized eyes flickered with golden flames.

This appearance is simply like a savage beast from ancient times.

A domineering and fierce aura swept over us.

Qin Huaiyu's eyes burned with fervor. "So this is what the Black Gold Mystic Tiger looks like? It's truly magnificent!"

The onlooker, a man and a soul, were also quite shocked by this, and they stared intently at the illusory figure.

"This Black Gold Tiger truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient beast; even in its juvenile form, its bloodline power is incomparably formidable!"

"That's certainly intimidating, but do you think this little black tiger will cry later?"

"Um?"

Ci Ning paused for a moment and said:

"Senior, are you so confident he can win?"

Youlong smiled and said:

"I'm not sure, but I've never seen him lose!"

Upon hearing this, Ci Ning's face stiffened.

"……really!"

……
