I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 890: The guy who is not as good as a beast, I will take you along with me

She murmured and started grappling with time. Were her parents, younger brother, and fellow clan members still present after such an extended slumber?

However, the subtle smile playing on the corner of Gu Changge’s mouth hinted at a different truth, leading her to realize that she had likely been deceived.

Despite the potent nature of immortal wine, it seemed implausible for it to induce a ten-thousand-year sleep with just a sip. Gu Changge, that deceitful rogue, had successfully fooled her once again.

“Damn you, you liar! How long have I truly been asleep?”

Wang Ziji reacted with a fierce glare, tossing the soft immortal silk pillow aside.

“It appears you did fall asleep. I expected you to react more quickly.”

Gu Changge remarked casually, drinking hot tea and nimbly sidestepping the soft pillow thrown in his direction.

Wang Ziji, feeling the urge to grab the quilt. She rolled her eyes and exclaimed, “I trusted you! Who would have thought you’d deceive me like this?”

Gu Changge, wearing a faint smile, approached her, stating, “It’s not that long, just seven or eight days.”

“If it’s only seven or eight days, then that’s fine.”

However, as Gu Changge continued to approach, Wang Ziji grew wary and issued a warning, “Gu Changge, what are you up to? I’m warning you, stay away from me.” She shrank back and hugged her knees, nearly cornered on the bed. A somewhat pitiful expression adorned her small, flower-like face.

Gu Changge, undeterred by her feigned vulnerability. He maintained his light-hearted demeanor.

“If I had intentions, I wouldn’t need to wait until now. These seven or eight days would have been more than sufficient.”

Upon hearing Gu Changge’s response, Wang Ziji abandoned pretense, glared at him, and stretched her waist. Observing his unmoved demeanor, she couldn’t help muttering, “The guy who is not as good as a beast…”

“It seems you’re still a bit disappointed,” Gu Changge remarked with a smile.

Wang Ziji, feeling a bit irritated, ignored his teasing and decided to leave. She had no desire to remain in this place or reencounter Gu Changge. While memories of that day were somewhat hazy. She retained recollections of the subsequent events. She vividly remembered putting her arms around Gu Changge’s neck, only to have him block her advances with his hands, appearing somewhat disgusted.

The thought darkened Wang Ziji’s expression, fueling a desire to shoot Gu Changge a fierce look. Despite proclaiming her straightforward nature, her actions suggested otherwise. Even though she knew Gu Changge was a troublemaking devil, she had gone to great lengths to cover for him. As the holy maiden of the Human Ancestor Hall, she deviated from her role in eradicating harm to the ordinary people, aligning herself with Gu Changge and aiding evildoers.

“Where are you going?” Gu Changge said with calm composure. He sipped his hot tea and glanced at her.

“I want to go home,” Wang Ziji replied angrily. “I don’t want to see you now. You’re really annoying…”

“Do you want to return to the Wang family in the Immortal Domain or the Wang family in the Upper Realm?” Gu Changge was still smiling, inquired without a hint of irritation.

“Of course, I want to go back…” Wang Ziji responded with her annoyance apparent.

Upon hearing Gu Changge’s question, Wang Ziji was momentarily stunned, swallowing the rest of her words. The idea of returning to the Upper Realm hadn’t crossed her mind after being brought to the Immortal Domain. The Immortal Domain, while better suited for cultivation, felt less comfortable and natural compared to the Upper Realm.

Furthermore, her parents and relatives from this life resided in the Upper Realm, making the Wang family in the Immortal Domain seem disconnected.

If given the choice, Wang Ziji naturally preferred returning to the Wang family in the Upper Realm. The bloodlines were similar, but the two branches now had little to do with each other.

I’ve been away from home for hundreds of years, and suddenly disappeared without even saying goodbye to my parents.

Wang Ziji’s expression shifted to sadness as she reflected on the situation. She felt a profound regret for not being able to bid farewell to her parents.

“How is the Upper Realm now?”

Wang Ziji suddenly remembered that she hadn’t inquired about the Upper Realm’s current state since reuniting with Gu Changge in the Immortal Domain. Over these hundreds of years, significant changes were likely to have occurred. The Immortal King of the Wang Family, who had guided her to the Immortal Domain, had hinted at earth-shattering changes in the Upper Realm’s near future. Amidst her disputes with Gu Changge, she had forgotten to ask about these developments.

Gu Changge, who was wearing a smile, didn’t provide a direct answer. Instead, he put down his teacup and led her outside the courtyard, where another person awaited.

Dressed in pristine white, possessing a tall and graceful figure exuding an air of holiness and ecstasy, stood Heavenly Maiden Tianlu.

Heavenly Maiden Tianlu.

Wang Ziji recognized her immediately. In the Eight Desolation and Ten Regions, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu had been the guardian of Heavenly Lu City.

Despite her resistance, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu eventually submitted to Gu Changge, declaring herself his concubine. Now, having ascended to a fairy, her beauty surpassed even her previous allure, resembling a Buddha lotus.

Gu Changge, with a wave of his sleeve, informed the two women that he would take them back to the Upper Realm. He mentioned the imminent chaos in the Immortal Domain. Without further explanation, he tore through the universe, transporting them.

Gu Changge had waited for Wang Ziji to awaken, aware of her desire to return to the Upper Realm. Coincidentally, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu also intended to replace them, prompting him to bring both women along.

While the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm had not fully merged, returning to the Upper Realm required passing through the passage behind Heavenly Passage Ancient City. Despite possessing the strength to tear down the barrier between the two worlds effortlessly, Gu Changge refrained from doing so. The ongoing process of the immortal domains’ bordering allowed time for old beings concealed in various realms to be drawn out.

Despite the expectation that Gu Qingyi would have arrived in the Immortal Domain after parting ways, there had been no sign of her presence. Gu Changge, in his exploration of countless universes, failed to detect her aura or traces. The will of heaven and earth in the Immortal Domain operated according to established laws, lacking a valid will. This absence and uncertainty about Gu Qingyi’s whereabouts troubled Gu Changge briefly.

However, he only dwelled on this mystery for a short time. According to his plan, if Gu Qingyi remained in the Immortal Domain, they could enact a scene from countless epochs ago.

They collaborated once more to reopen the mortal world of mountains and seas, gather the power of all worlds, counterattack the original world, and initiate a battle against the heavens. Gu Changge anticipated that this battle would sweep the vast mortal world, affecting many surrounding realms and making escape impossible. The turmoil in the original world would lead to a significant sacrifice, paving the way for a grand reckoning. The intricate chess game he had meticulously planned would conclude at that moment.
