Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 110: Chapter 98 My Sister with No Sense of Boundaries [4K]_2

Even if you know he only attacked you due to a misunderstanding, couldn’t you have used your brain, spared his life, taken the stuff and then, when exactly can you have your own magic treasure and weapons?

Aren’t you really considering learning smithing, are you?

The one being scolded didn’t have the slightest temper.

Lately, almost every day, he’s been berated by his own master—no, it should be senior sister—or rather, reprimanded.

Whenever he did anything wrong or failed to satisfy her, she would just wave her hand, signaling him to bow his head.

Then, she’d gift him with a knock on the head.

It wasn’t actually painful and was merely to teach the junior brother a lesson, but...

The humiliation was intense, especially that feeling akin to being treated like a child, which really depressed him.

Yet he finally understood why Su Yi, when teaching him lessons, repeatedly mentioned that the path of cultivation required seizing opportunities from others, snatching their fortunes, and even deliberately playing the villain to teach him a lesson.

As Jiang Feng’s face filled with gloom, Liu Tangxi’s displeasure also gradually disappeared. Jiang Feng hadn’t yet experienced the cruelty of the Cultivation World, so he needed more tempering.

Then, with her palm on her waist, to his surprise she actually took off her own sword.

"Since you don’t have a suitable weapon, take this one. I have no other low-level magic treasure on me."

"This sword is named Tangxi."

"It is forged with my soul and essence blood, so when it senses it’s you using it, it shouldn’t reject you much and won’t backlash. Consider it a meeting gift from your senior sister."

Flabbergasted, his brain went blank.

"...No, thanks for the kind gesture, senior sister. The path of cultivation ought to involve stealth and seizing of fortunes; I won’t be soft-hearted in the future."

He was truly frightened.

His head shook like a rattling drum. Even though he knew Liu Tangxi’s personality, he didn´t expect her to just give her own Lifebound Magical Treasure to him as a meeting gift!

What kind of joke is this? Forged with her soul and essence blood, this is essentially half of the senior sister’s life, and she’s casually throwing it to a nobody like me?

Not just as a meeting gift, even if I have the slightest thought in my heart... no, even one more glance would be a crime!

He tilted his head.

"The pitiful and tragic male ego is acting up again?"

"..."

"Stubbornly clung to that pitiful pride, and only when getting beaten to the point of crying for your father and mother, you start to regret?"

"..."

"I’m giving you a chance to reconsider, otherwise, you won’t have another."

Truth like a piercing armor, silence followed by a shattered defense.

Lies wouldn’t harm, but the truth is a sharp blade.

However, what she said wasn’t wrong. He had a thick skin like a city wall but at times like these, he really couldn’t swallow his pride. He shook his head decisively, refusing. Many pedestrians around had stopped to sneak peeks at the couple seemingly indulging in sweet nothings.

His voice was somewhat dry.

"Senior sister, your aggression has surged lately, talking like this when you are out could get you beaten."

He spoke faintly.

But the latter just blinked her cleverly sparkling eyes.

"Don’t worry, I’ve learned all that from you. In the future, I’ll only attack you... It’ll only be used on you, I’ll be mindful of my boundaries."

"How about you have some boundaries with me too, just a little?"

"You have thick skin, you can take it."

His hope completely dashed with one sentence.

Seeing the senior sister walking away, the youth sighed and could only follow. When he first met Liu Xianzi, although she was not very polite, she hadn’t been this extreme. Now, look at her, having learned his own antics.

He’s made his own bed, now he has to lie in it, truly feeling the weight of this phrase.

However, at this moment, Liu Tangxi flicked her wrist, and a token was tossed backward.

Though caught off guard, Jiang Feng’s reflexes were naturally quick, and he reached out to grab it. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a semi-translucent jade token with faint red lines, no larger than half of a palm, delicate and exquisite.

Looking closely, it bore the "Liu" character and the shape of a sword.

"What’s this?"

"My token, wear it on your waist."

"Oh."

He obediently hung it at his waist.

Then Liu Tangxi continued, "If you ever get surrounded and are close to losing your life, pull this out."

"Is it an amulet? Can I shake you out of it when I can’t win a fight?"

His eyes lit up, beaming with delight.

But the latter half of the statement threw him back into Hell.

"There’s no use for it, holding this thing might allow you to die with more dignity and not tarnish the reputation of Swordmaster Peak."

"..."

"Oh, it can also track your scent; if you ever get surrounded and killed, at least I, your senior sister, can come to collect your corpse."

He pursed his lips.

He knew that Liu Tangxi never lied; if she said the thing was useless, then it truly was.

"Senior sister, can’t you... wish me some good luck?"

But what Jiang Feng got in return was a calm yet sad answer.

"With your temperament, you will definitely court disaster as you grow and make many enemies. This thing suits you well, don’t take it off."

"Otherwise, your body may not be found."

"Are you planning to be buried in Qingshui County or brought back to the sect? If it were me, I’d prefer to be buried under Swordmaster Peak should I encounter any misfortune."

He sighed.

Looking at the senior sister who spoke the most terrible words with the calmest of tones next to him, he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

He could see that his senior sister wasn’t joking with him; in fact, she wasn’t joking in any of her words. Yet, she could speak about death so casually, and even as young as she is, she already had thoughts about where she wanted to be buried.

Now he knew why his senior sister had not married at such an age.

Probably because of her exceedingly high standards, and also due to her overly serious character.

But as the brother and sister were leisurely strolling through the streets, a commotion came from afar.

"Stop, kid, stop!"

"Don’t run! If you’ve got guts, stop running!"

"Someone up ahead block him, this kid has stolen our sect’s item, don’t let him get away..."

A short man with a greasy face was darting through the crowd, nimbly vaulting over other people’s tables and stalls, stumbling but not slowing down in the least.

A look of panic on his face, at first glance, he appeared to be an ordinary person devoid of any Spiritual Energy.

"Help me, they, they stole my mother’s memento, I had no choice but to steal it back."

"Big brother, big brother! Save me, save me!"

"Who can save me, who can save somebody like me!"

"This honorable hero..."

While running, he sought help from passers-by, seemingly due to a dispute with the Cultivators over a family heirloom, with low cultivation, followed by people who were all just in the early stages of Qi Refinement.

It was clear, the fleeing man knew there were many Cultivators on this street and deliberately came here for aid, but the surrounding pedestrians gave indifferent glances, showing no spirit of chivalry.

Jiang Feng, however, was amused and halted his steps, with arms crossed and a posture of watching a play, but soon, the man saw Jiang Feng’s extraordinary aura and rushed over.

"Hero, hero!"

Without saying another word, he knelt before Jiang Feng, desperately grasping the young man’s body and shaking it wildly, almost ready to kowtow right there and then.

The sudden turn of events left Liu Tangxi standing still and silent, with her tranquil gaze apparently devoid of any emotion. As for Jiang Feng’s response to this unexpected event...

"Get lost! Don’t splash your blood on me! Crawl!"

He lifted his leg and kicked, sending the other person rolling a few times on the ground, as the surrounding passers-by looked at the cold-blooded youth with strange gazes.

Not helping was one thing, but to tell someone to scram?

And the man, who was kicked away, finally came back to his senses, cursing.

"F*ck you, such a big figure, but more cowardly than a dog! What kind of woman would fancy someone like you!"

Incredulously looking at Jiang Feng and the beautiful woman standing beside him, not wanting to play the hero and impress in front of a woman, but instead doing something that would diminish his value?

But since people were chasing him, he had to get up, still rolling and crawling, and continued to flee through the crowd, bumping into other pedestrians now and then.

Senior sister seemed a little surprised by Jiang Feng’s action.

"Aren’t you going to make a move?"

"Respect the fate of others, let go of the savior complex."

Jiang Feng seemed to have anticipated her remark.

"Senior sister, let me emphasize again, I just don’t like to kill – I’m not stupid."

"What he just took from your bosom was..."

The young man smiled, revealing eight teeth.

"Senior sister sure is forgetful with important matters. Didn’t you account for one ten days ago? It’s an added burden to my already impoverished household..."
