"My plan was really good. Look at the Villain Halo and the Villain Points. I am rich," Aric smiled to himself, feeling a surge of pride.

But as he considered his stats, a question nagged at him. "System, I just don\'t get it. Many people have higher strength than me, even when they are in smaller realms. How\'s that possible?"

[Ding! Host. Initially, you did not possess any bloodline or Physique, which is why your strength may have been slightly weaker compared to others. But now, with your growth and the acquisition of powerful bloodlines and physiques, your strength will increase rapidly, surpassing those around you.]

Satisfied with the answer, Aric turned his attention to two items that had been on his mind: the Void Dragon Egg and the Demonic Requiem, a sword he had obtained from an auction. The egg, a mysterious artifact, had been a gift from Mia the previous night. The sword, however, had seen better days and needed restoration.

He asked the system, "Can you repair this sword?"

[Ding! Yes, Host. I can restore it to its previous state, but it will cost you 250,000 Villain Points.]

"That much? You\'re a cheater."

[Ding! Yes, Host. It\'s non-negotiable.]

Aric sighed. "Alright. Take it. Make me poor."

[Ding! Deducting 250,000 Villain Points. Please place the sword in your inventory for five minutes.]

Aric followed the system\'s instructions, placing the sword into his inventory. When the five minutes were up, he retrieved it and was immediately struck by its transformation. The sword looked as though it had just been crafted, its blade shining brightly, polished to perfection. The terrifying aura that emanated from the sword was palpable, enough to make the weak-hearted tremble in fear.

"This is it. Apart from my Heavenly Jade Sword, this is another treasure sword that I now possess," Aric murmured, admiring the weapon before setting it aside.

His next focus was the Void Dragon Egg, an enigmatic artifact that held immense potential. Aric held the egg in his hands, examining its smooth, obsidian surface. It was cold to the touch, yet he could sense a faint pulse of life within it. The problem was, he had no idea how to hatch it.

Destroying the egg was out of the question, so Aric turned to the one source of knowledge he could rely on—his system.

"Dear system, do you know how to hatch this egg?" Aric inquired.

[Ding! Yes, Host, I do. However, the information won\'t come for free. It will cost 350,000 Villain Points to unlock the technique required to hatch it.]

"You bullshit system. Always trying to loot the innocent."

[Ding! Host. Worry not, the method this system will provide will not only hatch the egg but will also enhance the growth of the hatchling, making it ten times stronger than any ordinary method.]

"Really?" Aric asked, his interest piqued.

[Ding! Yes, Host.]

"Okay then, take it."

[Ding! Deducting 350,000 Villain Points.]

With the deduction complete, the system began to impart the knowledge Aric needed:

The first step involved preparing a bath infused with the Seraphic Lotus and Phoenix Fire. These rare materials would purify the egg, awakening the latent energies within and beginning the hatching process. Aric would need to immerse the egg in the bath for twelve hours, allowing the energies to fully seep into the egg\'s shell.

He needs to then drop signficant amount of his blood essence on the egg—enough to cover the egg completely. The blood would not only bond the dragon to him but also transfer a portion of Aric\'s strength and cultivation into the egg, accelerating its development.

To fully awaken the dragon within the egg, Aric needed to use the Void Soul Assimilation Technique to leave an imprint of his soul within the egg. This imprint would serve as a guide, helping the dragon absorb knowledge and cultivate from the moment it hatched.

Finally , the egg required a constant source of heat to hatch properly. Aric would need to place the egg within a controlled environment, surrounded by Phoenix Fire, for seven days. The flames would keep the egg warm and ensure the dragon\'s growth was both rapid and stable.

[Ding! Host this method is carefully selected keeping in focus the resources you have. After you follow the procedure, you will get a strong ally]

He soon sent a message the he has gone into seclusion and will come out after 8-10 days.

"Alright. Let\'s see what happens. Although i don\'t like to hurt myself for others", Aric said.

Aric carefully followed each step, starting with the purification bath. He used the Seraphic Lotus, crushing it to release its potent energy, and combined it with Phoenix Fire. The mixture created a glowing, golden liquid that radiated immense heat. Aric placed the egg into the bath, watching as the energies began to swirl around it, sinking into the shell.

The egg had absorbed all the potent energy of the Seraphic Lotus.

After twelve hours, he removed the egg from the bath and began the Blood Bonding Ritual. With a sharp blade, he cut his palm, letting his blood flow freely over the egg. The egg absorbed the blood greedily, its surface pulsating with a crimson glow as it bonded with Aric.

Next was the Soul Imprint. Aric sat cross-legged, holding the egg in his lap as he used the Void Soul Assimilation Technique to project a part of his soul into the egg. He felt a connection forming, a link between him and the dragon within.

Finally, Aric started filling the egg with Phoenix Fire. The flames licked at the egg, surrounding it in warmth as it continued to grow.

For seven days, Aric nurtured the egg, feeding it more of his energy and blood.

On the seventh day, the chamber was filled with an expectant silence. The egg had grown noticeably warmer, its surface now crisscrossed with delicate cracks. Aric watched intently, his breath held in anticipation.

Then, it happened.

A faint tapping sound echoed through the chamber as the creature within the egg began to push against its shell. The cracks spread, widening with each determined effort from inside. Aric leaned closer, his eyes fixed on the egg as tiny shards of the shell began to fall away.

With a final, decisive push, the egg shattered, revealing the tiny, glistening form of the baby Void Dragon.

It was small, no larger than a house cat, but its presence was immediately awe-inspiring. The dragon\'s scales were a deep, glossy black, shimmering with a subtle iridescence that reflected the flames surrounding it. Tiny horns adorned its head, and a pair of delicate, leathery wings were folded against its back.

But despite its formidable appearance, the dragon\'s eyes—large and expressive—were filled with innocence and curiosity. They were a striking shade of crimson, glowing softly as they met Aric\'s gaze.

For a moment, the Void Dragon simply observed Aric, as if assessing the one who had brought it into this world. The air between them was charged with potential, a connection waiting to be forged.

Aric extended his hand, his movements slow and deliberate.

Aric\'s heart softened as he watched the tiny creature struggle to walk, its movements adorably clumsy. He knelt down, holding out his hand. The dragon paused, sniffing at his fingers before nuzzling against his palm with a contented purr.

The dragon, despite its incredible potential, recognized Aric as its parent, the one who had nurtured and protected it.

"Welcome to the world, little one," Aric murmured, his voice filled with warmth. The dragon responded by pressing closer to him, seeking the comfort of his touch. It was as if the dragon had already recognized him as its father.

With a gentle smile, Aric scooped the baby dragon into his arms. It let out a soft, pleased trill, snuggling into his chest and wrapping its tiny tail around his wrist. The warmth of its body was soothing, and Aric could feel the dragon\'s heart beating in time with his own.

He couldn\'t help but chuckle as the dragon let out a small yawn, revealing tiny, sharp teeth. "You\'re just a little ball of trouble, aren\'t you?" he teased, though his tone was full of affection.

The Void Dragon let out a soft coo, its wings fluttering slightly as it adjusted to its new surroundings. The space around it shimmered as if reality itself was bending to its will, a subtle reminder of the incredible power this tiny creature held. And yet, in Aric\'s arms, it was nothing more than a baby seeking comfort and safety.

The dragon responded with a sleepy blink, its eyes drooping as it grew more comfortable in his arms. It let out a soft, contented sigh, and within moments, the little creature was fast asleep, trusting Aric completely to protect and care for it.

Aric, cradling the newly hatched Void Dragon in his arms, made his way to Ru Shenshen\'s villa within the sect. The little dragon, now his constant companion, nestled comfortably against his chest. Aric kept the baby dragon hidden under his robe.

As he approached Ru Shenshen\'s villa, the servants he passed gave no sign of noticing him, their gazes blank and obedient. Aric had already mind-controlled everyone within Ru Shenshen\'s residence, ensuring his presence would never raise any suspicions. The path to her chamber was clear, and with a simple gesture, the large doors opened silently before him.

Ru Shenshen, was sitting by the window, her gaze distant as she awaited the return of her husband. The moment Aric stepped into the room, her eyes lit up with joy, and she immediately rose to greet him.

"Aric!" Ru Shenshen\'s voice was filled with warmth as she hurried to his side. She met his gaze, her expression softening, and without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around him in a loving embrace.

Aric held her close, the Void Dragon between them stirring slightly but remaining calm. He could feel the genuine affection in her hug.

Ru Shenshen pulled back slightly, her eyes meeting his before she leaned in, pressing her lips to his in a tender kiss. The contact was soft, a gentle affirmation of the bond they shared, and Aric responded in kind, his hand resting on the small of her back.

"Welcome back, honey," Ru Shenshen whispered against his lips, her voice filled with genuine affection.

Aric smiled down at her, his gaze lingering on her face. "It\'s good to be back," he replied, his tone as smooth as ever.

Ru Shenshen\'s attention then shifted to the small creature in Aric\'s arms. Her eyes widened in surprise and curiosity as she took in the sight of the Void Dragon, its tiny head peeking out from the folds of his robe.

"What is this, Aric?" she asked, her hand reaching out to gently stroke the dragon\'s soft scales. The dragon let out a soft trill, clearly enjoying the attention.

"This," Aric began, his voice filled with pride, "is a Void Dragon."

Ru Shenshen\'s eyes widened further in awe as she gazed at the little dragon. "A Void Dragon… I\'ve only heard of them in legends. It\'s beautiful," she murmured, her fingers continuing to caress the dragon\'s head.

The dragon responded with a gentle purr, leaning into her touch, but its eyes remained focused on Aric, clearly recognizing him as its parent.

Ru Shenshen looked up at Aric, her expression filled with admiration. "You continue to amaze me, Aric. Every time I see you, you\'ve achieved something new, something incredible."

Aric chuckled softly, his gaze warm. "It\'s all thanks to you, my dear. Your support means everything to me."

Ru Shenshen\'s heart swelled at his words, and she leaned in for another kiss, this time filled with deeper emotion. Aric returned it, all the while keeping the Void Dragon securely nestled in his arms.

After a moment, she pulled back, her gaze shifting between Aric and the dragon. "You must be tired after everything. Come, sit with me for a while," she suggested, leading him to a comfortable couch near the window.

As Aric settled onto the couch with Ru Shenshen, the Void Dragon comfortably nestled in his lap, he gently stroked the dragon\'s soft scales. Its purring was a soothing sound, but his mind was already racing with thoughts of what needed to be done next.

"Ru Shenshen," Aric began, his tone serious, "I need you to take care of this little one while I\'m busy. The Void Dragon is far too valuable and powerful to let anyone know about it. Its existence must remain a secret, even within the sect. No one can find out about it, or it could lead to unimaginable chaos."

Ru Shenshen nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I\'ll make sure the dragon receives the best resources for its growth. I\'ll keep it safe and hidden. You have nothing to worry about, Aric."

Aric smiled appreciatively, trusting her to handle the situation. "Thank you. I knew I could count on you. The resources it needs will be hard to come by, but I trust that with your position, you\'ll manage to acquire everything necessary."

Ru Shenshen\'s eyes sparkled with determination. "I will make sure of it. This little dragon will have everything it needs to reach its full potential."

With that settled, Aric shifted the conversation.
