Villains: Starting with the Landlady

"The future landscape is unlikely to change much, but your memories of me in the future won't be very constructive."

Ling Yun stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Hou Jinfei, I will provide you with financial and networking support. I hope you won't let me down."

"Yes, Commander Ling!"

"Commander Ling?" Ling Yun smiled knowingly. "I don't really like that title. Just call me Young Master Ling."

Hou Jinfei quickly stood up, watching Ling Yun's departing figure. His mind had just been in a daze, and he felt that Ling Yun's status in his heart had risen infinitely! While he was still wondering, his phone suddenly received a message.

That's... a special invitation from the Longke Academy!

Chapter 179 Wonderland on Earth

[Because the master saw through Hou Jinfei's reincarnated identity and used telepathy to raise his favorability to "die-hard" (shared affection), the plunder failed due to Hou Jinfei's maxed-out luck. However, because the "protagonist's" favorability towards the master was capped, his status as the chosen one of destiny returned, with the same effect as Sun Yichen.]

To ensure Hou Jinfei won't do anything bad to you, his affection level towards you will remain constant at "Unwavering Loyalty (Shared Devotion)," and will never change! You can revoke his status as the Chosen One at any time!

A "protagonist" with no special abilities and no good opportunities to interfere, Ling Yun couldn't think of any way to reduce his luck to zero except by killing him. But this person did have some use; as long as he obediently served as his dog, the failure of the plundering was fine, it didn't matter, one more wouldn't make a difference.

【Dear Master, I'm so sorry, your looting attempt failed.】

"It's alright. This person's situation is special. I'm more interested in the antimatter missiles and annihilation bombs of the future Dragon Kingdom. With these, those strange and extraordinary people in this world are completely useless."

【Uh-huh! 】

Although it was a pity that the plundering failed, he was quite indifferent to the sheer number of "protagonists" springing up like mushrooms after rain.

Moreover, you can visit the sub-world once a week, guaranteeing at least 50 or more per year. This "protagonist" is becoming as common as cabbage.

He returned to his rented room and spent the night entangled with Xia Lan. The next morning, he got into Ling Yaxuan's car and went to the riverside on the outskirts of the capital.

"Boss, we've already arranged for Li Zishi to go to Jiang Province."

"You didn't kill him, did you?"

"It's not that bad. We arranged a relatively easy job for him—a security guard at a branch of the YaYun Group. The monthly salary is 4000 yuan, with room and board included, and they pay for social insurance and housing fund. He was quite happy with it and left last night."

"Heh, that's interesting."

Ling Yun smiled slightly. This was only a temporary solution. There would always be a holiday. As long as he returned home, he would still get on that boat and find that secret realm. Only by intercepting it in advance, like he did, could he succeed.

He didn't need to worry about not finding the secret realm at all. After all, with such a high luck value here, he could just throw himself into the river and commit suicide if he couldn't find it.

He told Ling Yaxuan to go back first, and then boarded the yacht that had been prepared in advance. He didn't deliberately choose a route and just sailed in a random direction.

When Ling Yun saw that there was about half of the oil left, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and a refreshing aroma entered his nostrils. Soon, even his mind began to become somewhat hazy.

However, he was no ordinary person. Shaking his head, he realized that he had somehow arrived in a completely unfamiliar place. He was surrounded by river water and was shrouded in mist. There was only a huge island in front of him.

It's normal for islands to appear in the sea, but this is a great river! Are there still unfamiliar islands within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom?

He took out his phone and checked it. Sure enough, there was no signal. Apart from Nana, he couldn't contact Ling Yaxuan and the other two girls.

Interesting. It seems the access control for this secret realm is quite high.

He moored the yacht on the shore, tied it to a nearby tree with iron chains to prevent it from drifting away, then clapped his hands and stepped onto the island.

Just then, an arrow struck the muddy ground in front of him, its fletching still trembling slightly.

Ling Yun looked up and, with the aid of his X-ray vision, saw a woman in a tree not far away. She was tall and slender, dressed in clothes made of animal skin, with her long hair tied up, a quiver on her back, and a bow and arrows tightly in her hand.

After firing that arrow, which had been more of a warning shot, she had already drawn her bow again and was aiming intently at him.

"Good aim."

Ling Yun smiled slightly and continued walking forward, ignoring her threat.

The woman also had a cold, pretty face. Seeing that Ling Yun was so ungrateful, she aimed at his thigh and shot out again.

Just as the arrow was about to reach Ling Yun, he took out Mo Bai from his spatial ring, flipped it over, and cleaved the arrow in two.

His move stunned the woman in the tree, who quickly realized she was no match for him and hastily retreated into the distance.

Where are you running to?

Just as the woman was running away, the young man's voice beside her made her hair stand on end.

With the effect of [Lightning Speed], Ling Yun's already extremely fast speed almost doubled. He instantly caught up with the woman, grabbed her small hand, and threw her to the ground.

The woman let out a painful groan and rolled on the ground. She reached for the arrows, only to find that not only was the quiver gone, but the bow and arrows in her hand had also vanished without a trace!

Ling Yun glanced at the woman and used the search function.

Name: Murphy

【Age: 22】

[Value: 172, C]

[Rating: 94]

[Combat Strength: C]

[Affection: Admiration (Friendliness towards beautiful women UP+)]

Although her level of affection for him was "admiration," she showed no mercy when she made her move, and now, lying on the ground, her eyes were filled with conflict.

She was conflicted because, on the one hand, she was a guard on the southern side of the island and had to turn away any outsiders; on the other hand, she had developed a slight affection for this young man she had met once before, whose strength far surpassed her own.

The women on the island are all trained from a young age to never have too many unnecessary emotions.

"Murphy, right? Can we talk?"

Upon hearing him reveal his name, Murphy alertly scrambled to his feet and swiftly drew a dagger from his waist.

"Fine, you won't listen to soft tactics, you'll try hard ones, right?"

Ling Yun withdrew the ink white and prepared to teach this woman a lesson with his bare hands.

Looking at Murphy, who had been conquered by him but whose mouth remained tightly shut, Ling Yun was speechless.

"Hey, I didn't mean any harm. I was just asking what's on the island. You won't even tell me that?"

"You are not a chosen one, you cannot speak."

"Depend on!"

Ling Yun pretended to unleash another torrent of abuse on her, and Murphy's face showed a rare fear. Just as she was about to try to resist, another woman slowly walked over.

"Elder!" Murphy immediately struggled to his feet and bowed to the newcomer.

"You should get up first." The woman, who was called the elder, was probably in her thirties. She didn't have the oval face of some internet celebrities, but rather a dignified face. She still had her charm and looked elegant and dignified, with the air of someone in a superior position.

"Yes."

Murphy quickly got up from the ground, while Ling Yun leaned against a tree trunk with his arms crossed, brazenly checking the female elder's strength data.

Chapter 180 Immortal Spirit Realm [Bonus Chapter for Donations]

That's right, her figure is top-tier among the women Ling Yun knows.

[Name: Bellamy]

【Age: 38】

[Value: 173, E]

[Rating: 97]

[Combat Strength: B+]

[Affection: Admiration (Friendliness towards beautiful women UP+)]

The elder before them was far more powerful than Murphy, and compared to Murphy's tall and slender figure, this female elder was much more voluptuous.

Murphy wore animal skins, while Elder Bellamy wore cloth and silk, which, combined with her golden curls, made her figure even more graceful.

“Young man, you trespassed onto our island and… you even did this to our guards. Aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”

Her voice was also very beautiful, like a clear spring tinkling in the mountains, flowing over Ling Yun's chest without leaving a trace.

"Elder, I just wandered onto the island by mistake. I wanted to go ashore to see if there was anything to eat, but I was shot with two arrows. Shouldn't you be the ones to give an explanation?"

"Lingyun, this is our island!"

Although Murphy was defeated by Ling Yun, he would not betray him, but he still had a deep affection for the island where he had lived for so long.

"This is within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom. Are you accusing us of occupying it without permission?"

Murphy was speechless, while Bellamy gave a charming smile: "It seems this Mr. Ling came prepared. Murphy, are you still able to move around freely? Take Mr. Ling back to our village."

"Yes!"

Murphy blushed, then looked at Ling Yun. After hesitating for a while, she took his arm and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the village."

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow and saw that Bellamy in front of him had already turned and left, so he followed Murphy forward.

However, Bellamy, with his back to Ling Yun, presented a completely different picture. Ling Yun nodded in approval, making Bellamy, who was in front of him, feel somewhat uneasy.

Bellamy couldn't help but want to look back, feeling as if Ling Yun had seen everything, which was extremely strange.

When they reached the center of the island, Lingyun saw a village.

The houses here are all built of wood, and they are all very different in style, seemingly chosen entirely according to personal preference.

"Someone's here?"

A girl spotted Ling Yun approaching, and with her melodious shouts, the surrounding women swarmed over.

"Are they all women?"

Ling Yun glanced around and had the illusion of Tang Sanzang entering the Women's Kingdom, the only difference being that there were no monkeys with him.

"Yes, this place is called the Fairy Realm, and it's inhabited entirely by women; there are no male creatures here."

Bellamy turned around and nodded slightly to him: "My name is Bellamy. I am the elder of the entire village and am responsible for guarding the secrets of this secret realm."

"A secret?" Ling Yun smiled calmly and mouthed, "An ancient secret technique?"

Bellamy accurately caught his lip movements, his pupils contracted slightly, and he glanced at Ling Yun's entire body again.

“It seems Mr. Ling knows a lot… Murphy, go and tell the head of security to increase security by at least five times! During this period, no outsiders are allowed to enter!”

"Yes!"

Murphy released Ling Yun's arm and walked somewhat awkwardly toward a tall wooden house.

"Ling Yun, is it? Come with me."

Bellamy walked toward a rather old-fashioned wooden house, and Ling Yun followed her under the watchful eyes of the women.

"mom!"

Once inside, a young woman in her early twenties rushed over and was about to hug Bellamy when she saw the unfamiliar man and immediately stopped, but her eyes showed no less curiosity and shyness.

[Name: Lyle]

【Age: 20】

[Value: 172, E]

[Rating: 96]

[Combat Strength: B-]

[Affection: Admiration (Friendliness towards beautiful women UP+)]

Looking at the face and figure that resembled Bellamy's, Ling Yun's doubts deepened.

A secret realm entirely populated by women—how are these young girls born? Does the island's secret realm open up every so often, and then…men are allowed to come?

Seemingly noticing Ling Yun's confusion, Bellamy led Ling Yun to sit at the table, her almond lips slightly parted.

“This is my daughter, Lyle. Mr. Lingyun, there’s something special about this place. The Immortal Spirit Realm has existed for thousands of years. Only women of marriageable age can eat the fruit of the mother tree that sustains the realm, thus giving birth to new life and continuing the lineage.”

"So, this is also your biological daughter, but without a father?"

"Not to mention men, even strange women are not allowed to enter the island."
