I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

Half an hour later.

Cheng Ran examined the bronze sword in his hand and sat down on the ground in the dark room.

He just figured out the mechanism of this villain value:

After plundering the protagonist's belongings, for every point of luck the protagonist loses, the villain gains one point of villain value.

In the system shop, villain points can be used to exchange for items.

It contains extremely powerful items such as Heavenly-level cultivation techniques and Heavenly-level spiritual artifacts.

That's incredibly generous.

It's just a pity that he doesn't have enough villain points to exchange for the items inside.

We must continue our efforts.

We should promote the spirit of Cao Cao.

Do more bad things.

Of course, besides studying the system's mechanisms, he also chatted with his newly acquired divine sword for a while.

During this exchange, he also gained some understanding of the divine sword.

This sword is nameless not because it was originally nameless, but because it has forgotten its own name.

According to it, it was originally the weapon used by the Sword Emperor in ancient times, and was made from the scales of an ancient dragon.

After the Sword Emperor ascended to the Upper Realm, it had been waiting for a new master.

However, it seems that thousands of years ago, it encountered some changes that resulted in it being incomplete. Although the original body was preserved, the sword soul was divided into multiple parts.

To put it nicely, it has great development potential; to put it bluntly, it's an extremely damaged version.

Of course, Cheng Ran firmly believed in the principle that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and he still quite liked the sword in his hand.

Well, it's not because this broken sword speaks so nicely.

Incidentally, he gave the sword a new name:

"You shall be called Sword Master of Fate."

"As expected of its owner, even the name they chose is so cultured!"

Upon hearing that Cheng Ran was willing to bestow a name upon it, the sword spirit trembled with excitement, and the crimson jade gleamed.

"Alright, alright, I don't like hearing your compliments."

Cheng Ran waved his hand: "Later, I have an important task for you to do, so don't neglect it."

Important things...

The master's business is its business, and the God of Fate has no choice but to take it upon himself.

"I will obey your commands, my great master!"

Cheng Ran nodded, then whispered a few instructions to Si Ming before hiding it in a secluded corner of the dark room.

Then, he took out a scroll from his storage ring.

After writing a few strokes on it, Cheng Ran placed it in the center of the altar.

......

......

Another incense stick's time passed.

Cheng Ran finally witnessed the return of the protagonist boy.

Ye Chen returned to the door of the dark room, his handsome face flushed red, staring intently at Cheng Ran.

Look how happy he is...

Her face turned red!

Cheng Ran was secretly pleased, then feigned confusion and asked with a frown:

"Junior Brother Ye, why did you come alone? Where is Master? Can't you even handle this simple matter?"

"You are shameless!"

Ye Chen was furious upon hearing Cheng Ran's words.

Especially when he saw the door to the dark room open and Cheng Ran sitting comfortably on the ground.

He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his arms bulged.

How dare you mention Master?

This is utterly shameless!

If he hadn't been unable to defeat Cheng Ran, he would have already started a fight.

"Damn..." Ye Chen let out a long breath, trying his best to calm himself down, and said very seriously:

"Master isn't in the palace at all; she went to see Palace Master Lu on business!"

"You just want to obtain this secret chamber's inheritance, and you deliberately sent me away!"

"You scoundrel, your behavior is immoral!"

Morality?

These words almost made Cheng Ran laugh.

The Tao is the Tao of entering the Tao, and the virtue is the virtue of getting food, right...?

He certainly has morals.

However, unlike the sneer in his heart, Cheng Ran's face showed three parts confusion and seven parts annoyance:

"Junior brother actually said I lied to you. Do I look like that kind of person?"

Ye Chen was almost laughing in exasperation. "Don't you look like one?!"

But as a disciple of the righteous path, he wouldn't be as shameless as Cheng Ran, and said with piercing eyes:

"Okay, you claim you have no intention of monopolizing the inheritance, I can believe you."

"But there's one condition: you have to provide evidence!"

"Evidence? There really is."

After speaking, Cheng Ran, without changing his expression, pointed to the scroll in the center of the altar:

"The treasure passed down in this dark room is right in the center of that altar. If I wanted to keep it all for myself, I would have put it in my storage ring long ago."

Ye Chen then looked toward the altar.

He then discovered that there was indeed a scroll there.

"this......"

Ye Chen was speechless for a moment, then suddenly realized that Cheng Ran wasn't lying.

At the same time, an absurd idea arose in his mind:

Could it be that Master has something urgent to attend to?

No, there's definitely something wrong!

Ye Chen shook his head to dismiss the thought. Even if his master had given the order, Cheng Ran must have lied.

He had a fairly good understanding of Cheng Ran's character and conduct.

This scoundrel, in order to advance smoothly on his path to immortality, even dared to break the rules and use the method of sexual intercourse to kill and silence witnesses!

If there truly is a lineage, he absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing.

"There's something wrong with this reel!"

After pondering for a long time, Ye Chen finally came to a conclusion.

But Cheng Ran shook his head:

"Junior Brother Ye, I know your concerns. You think I won't give up the opportunity to inherit the legacy, right?"

"What else?"

Ye Chen coldly retorted.

Cheng Ran, however, spoke very earnestly, his tone extremely sincere:

"Yes, I admit I do covet this inheritance. When you left, I also took the opportunity to glance at this scroll."

"However, I ultimately did not intend to accept this legacy."

"Because I simply cannot practice the techniques recorded in this inheritance!"

"If you don't believe me, go see for yourself."

"Hmph, nonsense!"

After Cheng Ran's explanation, Ye Chen was still unconvinced, but also somewhat curious.

He wanted to see what kind of inheritance was impossible for others to master!

So what if you want to look? Are you scared?

Walking to the side of the altar, Ye Chen took down the scroll and opened it, but his pupils suddenly contracted after only a short while.

There were several lines of cursive script written on it:

"To practice this skill, one must castrate oneself; if one does not castrate oneself, one should not approach fragrant plants."

"this......"

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen understood why Cheng Ran refused to accept it.

Although Cheng Ran was shameless, he was extremely lecherous, and his gaze toward his master and senior sister often carried a sense of blasphemy.

Getting him to castrate himself is harder than getting him to tell the truth!

I was actually wrong...

"Grass!"

Ye Chen pursed his lips but didn't apologize.

He sighed inwardly and decided to return the technique to the altar.

There was nothing he could do; he couldn't cultivate this technique either.

Although he longed to become stronger, he had several beautiful women around him. If he were to actually kill them, how could he face them?

Although it was just unrequited love.

But my feelings are very genuine!

However, at this very moment...

A majestic voice rang out.

"Young friends, are you sure you don't want to accept my inheritance?"

As the powerful aura swept over him, Ye Chen's eyes trembled, and his face was almost distorted.

His once handsome face now looked somewhat ferocious and lewd.

But the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Just because!

Such a deep and majestic voice could only have come from the owner of the legacy!

Moreover, judging from the intensity of that pressure just now, it definitely belonged to a powerful being!

In fact, his cultivation level might even surpass that of the old man in the ring!

Hahaha, this is truly a place of opportunity! There are such important figures here. I, Ye Chen, am going to be invincible!

puff-

Ye Chen had made up his mind, and immediately knelt on one knee.

A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm; kneeling before a powerful figure is not shameful!

After kneeling down, Ye Chen glanced at Cheng Ran, only to see that Cheng Ran remained motionless, watching quietly.

Refusing to kneel for the sake of ridiculous dignity? What a fool!

Watch how I repay you for your past humiliations once I receive the inheritance!

Ye Chen secretly scoffed in his heart.

Immediately, he bowed respectfully and said:

"Senior, it's not that I'm unwilling to accept this legacy, it's just that I can't let down the women I love!"

But the voice that came from nowhere was slightly mocking:

"You ant, you're too impetuous."

Why do people say I'm impetuous...?

Also, why didn't he scold Cheng Ran for disrespecting him?

Ye Chen looked puzzled, pondered for a moment without figuring it out, and continued to ask:

"Please give me some guidance, senior!"

"You only read the first half of the sentence, but not the second half of this inheritance."

These words were like a wake-up call. Ye Chen suddenly realized what was going on, reopened the scroll, and turned his attention to the second half of the sentence.

"Stay away from the fragrant bushes... Senior, what does that mean?"

Knowing that he was young and lacked knowledge, he humbly sought guidance.

"The meaning is very simple."

The authoritative voice on the other end paused, and only continued after Cheng Ran nodded in acknowledgment:

"If one is either yin or yang, one can cultivate this technique."

"Since it is impossible to castrate oneself to cultivate a body of yin, then we can only find another way to cultivate a body of yang."

"The second half of the sentence means that as long as you don't have one-on-one contact with adult women for 100 days, you can also master this skill!"
