Villain Cultivator

Chapter 342: Zhu Qiao Dating-Sim System

As soon as Zhu Qiao revealed her face, Miaomiao seized her neck and injected a hundred strands of dragon fire Qi into her body.

"You know, I have a hundred reasons to kill you here for what you did," Miaomiao didn't hide his killing intent. After attaching many dragon fire element Qi into her body at once, he was ready to incinerate her on the spot.

Yet, Zhu Qiao simply revealed a smug smile as she brought out a talisman and tore it.

Instantly, she teleported a meter away and reappeared on a stair below. All fire strands had also been expelled from her body.

Miaomiao furrowed his brows for a moment. Then, he sneered as he unsheathed Killer Queen and pointed the katana at one of Zhu Qiao's comrades.

"Explain yourself, or I'll kill your friends here."

Zhu Qiao stopped smiling. She snorted and crushed a marble ball in her hand, after which a giant metal hand manifested from the ground and seized Gan Ning, threatening to crush him.

"If you kill my friends, I'll kill your buddy."

Miaomiao scoffed, "Hohoh? You think I won't do anything to your friends after what you did to my comrades back then?"

Stripper Swordsmanship!

With only ten swings, Miaomiao stripped the three women naked. All their hidden protective armor, robes, and treasures had been destroyed.

"KYAAA!!"

The three succubi sat down and hid their naked bodies.

"You…" Zhu Qiao's face was solemn. She hated Miaomiao now.

"This is my last warning, let him go, or their fates will be worse than death. You should have realized that I can brainwash people, yes? I don't mind turning them into sex-deprived whores that will open their legs to every man they see."

"Don't press too far! Don't you worry about your buddy over here!?"

Zhu Qiao squinted her eyes as she added more yin essence to the metal hand.

The hand tightened as it attempted to crush Gan Ning. However, the guy simply stared at the three naked succubi and drooled.

Gan Ning was unharmed. The metal hand might look dangerous at glance, but its raw power couldn't injure the crude guy's mysterious physique.

Miaomiao sneered as he had expected Gan Ning to have certain degrees of abilities, and the latter didn't disappoint him. After all, Gan Ning Xingba was a counterpart of an elite general, so he carried great fate and luck similar to the main characters or protagonists.

A legendary general couldn't possibly die that easily!

Zhu Qiao sensed the odd feedback from the metal hand. She glanced at Gan Ning. Then, she looked at her naked colleagues.

Gritting her teeth, she took a deep breath and raised both hands, gesturing submission. The metal hand also released Gan Ning.

"I give up. Don't kill them."

Miaomiao scoffed and walked toward the three naked girls. He injected dragon fire strands into their bodies, keeping them under his control.

"Your friends are now my prisoners. If you try anything funny against me or my comrade again, they will pay the price."

"You're a dick, Mao Miaomiao. How could you treat delicate women like this!?"

"I believe in gender equality. If you punch me, I'll return the punch in your face. Since you have the balls to threaten me and my colleagues back then, I don't mind returning the favor and do the same to your friends and families."

"But I didn't even imprison your friend or your family!"

"No excuses! This is the consequence of your arrogance. If you want to blame someone, blame it on yourself for provoking me."

"You fucking 3rd-rated villain."

Zhu Qiao changed her mind. She would never designate Miaomiao as her primary capture target.

But then, she had a second thought. As Zhu Qiao wanted to get back on Miaomiao in the future, she planned to conquer his heart so that she could enslave him in the future. Then, she would continue to torture him until death.

Clouded and drunk by her own grudge, Zhu Qiao pressed her system screen.

Ding

[You have designated Mao Miaomiao as your primary capture target.]

[Are you sure?]

'Yes.'

[Affirmative. The system shall provide assistance for conquering this protagonist.]

Hearing how her system had treated Miaomiao as a protagonist, Zhu Qiao scoffed. From her point of view, this man inclined toward the villain's side as he had no likable trait at all.

Datable protagonists in dating-sim games were supposed to be handsome, desirable, and dreamy. On the other hand, Miaomiao was downright a scum.

Zhu Qiao bit her lower lips and paid her yin essence to the system, asking for assistance to come up with something that could help her.

Then, three dialogue choices showed up.

Ding

[You may choose one of the following choices to get through this situation.]

[I admit defeat. I did it because I was forced to. I'm sorry.] (Favor +1, Low Chance of Reconciling with Mao Miaomiao)

[Take me as a hostage instead. Leave my friends alone!] (Favor +3, Charisma +3, Fame +3, High Chance of Becoming Mao Miaomiao's prisoner)

[You can do whatever you want to me, but please release my friends. I surrender.] (Favor +5, Charisma + 3, Fame +3, Conquer Rate +1%, Become Mao Miaomiao's prisoner, High chance of losing your virginity to Mao Miaomiao.)

All three choices were bad since Zhu Qiao was forced to surrender. However, she could choose how she could approach things.

The first choice was the safest route as she got to keep her face and her pride. Secondly, the relationship between her and Miaomiao stayed equal.

As for the second choice, she might become Miaomiao's prisoner in exchange for her colleague's safety. She would gain many status points in return at the cost of her freedom.

Meanwhile, the last choice was the riskiest since she didn't know what this villain would do to her. She could obtain more status points and conquer progress, but Miaomiao might ravish her.

As Zhu Qiao prioritized maintaining her virginity above all else, she picked the second choice, after which her mouth moved automatically.

"Release the girls and take me as a hostage instead! They have nothing to do with our dispute."

Ding

[Your Charisma and Fame have been increased by 3.]

[Mao Miaomiao's Favor Point has increased by 3. The current Favor Point is -97.]

The corner of Zhu Qiao's mouth twitched. She had just learned that Miaomiao's Favor Point was at the lowest, aka minus 100. By gaining three points, she still had 97 more points to make up for their previous conflict.

Miaomiao snickered and shook his head, "Nah. I have a better idea. How about you become my hostage too, so I won't harm your friends. Of course, I can't guarantee what I will do to you."

Ding

[Mao Miaomiao's Favor Point is too low. He has refused to release your friends.]

[More dialogue choices are available.]

[Okay, everything was my fault. Forgive us, please.] (Small chance to reconcile with Mao Miaomiao.)

[Don't be overbearing. I know that you're in trouble because Yuan Shaoqing has declared war against you. If you want the Zhu Clan as your allies, don't cross the line.] (Charisma +3, Favor -1, High chance of freeing your friends, High chance of exposing Mao Miaomiao's undercover status and become his enemy, High chance of canceling Mao Miaomiao's status as your conquer target.)

[You know what? Fine, make me your bitch. I'll fuck you until you're satisfied. Just… Leave my friends alone.] (Fame +10, Reset Mao Miaomiao's Favor Point to 50, Conquer Progress +30%, Lose your virginity to Mao Miaomiao, Become Mao Miaomiao's sex slave.)

Zhu Qiao's face was cramped as she read the choices. Again, the first choice was the safest, and the last choice was the riskiest. But this time, the second choice allowed her to cancel the previous decision and reset everything to where it was before. However, she and Miaomiao might become enemies afterward.

Once more, Zhu Qiao picked the safest choice.

"Okay, sir. Everything was my fault. Please forgive us and let us go."

Miaomiao scoffed and rolled his eyes. He tossed spare clothes to the girls and walked away from Zhu Qiao's group.

"Get lost. I'm not in the mood to talk about our past grudge. I'm a busy man. Hey, Gan Xingba! How long are you going to ogle these bitches? Didn't you have enough pussies last night? Come on, let's head up and get this over with!"

Gan Ning's eyes became teary as he wanted to keep staring at the three beautiful succubi. He sulked and followed Miaomiao obediently.

The duo ascended the stairs, leaving Zhu Qiao's party alone.

Ding

[Mao Miaomiao has chosen to ignore you. He hasn't forgiven you yet.]

[Mao Miaomiao's Favor Point has increased by 2. The current Favor Point is -95.]

[Your friends are still infected with Mao Miaomiao's unknown Qi. He can still kill them.]

The crisis had been averted, but Zhu Qiao failed to rescue her followers. They were still under the threat of Mao Miaomiao's unknown skill.

"Young lady, we're sorry."

The girls put on their clothes, but they looked sad. They blamed themselves for being their master's weaknesses.

"Let's keep going," Zhu Qiao patted them and kept on moving forward. She too had another task to complete for her clan.

…

Miaomiao was in a bad mood as he stared at his system notification messages from the semi-transparent screen in front of him.

[Zhu Qiao has wished to reconcile. Will you forgive her?]

[You have chosen not to forgive her.]

[Warning, Zhu Qiao's unknown power has influenced your mind.]

[You are immune to hypnosis arrays and spells. Zhu Qiao's hypnosis spell has failed.]

Something wasn't right about Zhu Qiao during their conversation. While they had been talking, these messages showed up.

Of course, Miaomiao was not a forgiving person. He declined the request even though he was confused about what Zhu Qiao did.

'What the hell was that, Dion!?'

Miaomiao walked away from Zhu Qiao so that he could retreat and consult with Dion. After all, he was still wary of Zhu Qiao's overpowered items and her abilities.

Ding

[It's the effect of Zhu Qiao's automatic system. She tried to persuade you through the system's assistance feature.]

'Was it dangerous?'

[No. You still have the freedom of choice to either accept or decline her offers though her system might try to hypnotize you. Since you're immune to hypnosis and aphrodisiac, her system is harmless.]

'Ah, that's good.'

This was the first time that Miaomiao's system and someone else's system had communicated or influenced each other. It took him by surprise, but he was relieved that it couldn't do anything to him.

Still, it served as a warning that many protagonists might have similar abilities or systems. Miaomiao learned a lesson from this little squabble.

[OG-Buddha hopes that you can reconcile with Zhu Qiao.]

'Give me a quest, and I might reconcile with her.'

[OG-Buddha reprimands you for being too greedy.]

'No luck point, no work!'

Miaomiao grinned as he leaped over the five to six stair steps at once. He didn't even pay attention to the hidden landmine.

Gan Ning, who had been following close behind Miaomiao, detected them first. He stopped moving forward while he observed his boss from the 2,000th stair step.

Miaomiao's feet landed on the 2,007th step, where an explosion trap had been prepared for him.

BOOM

The landmine created a mushroom orange flame, engulfing Miaomiao whole.

A second later, the flame dispersed, revealing the victim.

Miaomiao raised his eyebrows and patted his burnt clothes. He also brought out a mirror to check his hair condition.

"Boss?" Gan Ning was concerned.

"Meh, it's nothing. I'm immune to fire element power. Let's keep going."

Miaomiao proceeded forward and stepped on every landmine on purpose.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Every step he took, a flame explosion followed. Yet, Miaomiao was unharmed.

No one paid attention to the trembling katana, who had been devouring the fire element Qi from the landmines. KQ giggled and laughed like a hyena, but no one could hear her.

Gan Ning hopped on the places that Miaomiao had walked, tracing the footsteps and avoiding the remaining flame traps. Although his weight got heavier, Gan Ning circulated his yang essence into his legs and spine, persisting and enduring the pain.

Miaomiao reached the goal line 10 minutes later. As for Gan Ning, he traced the footsteps and dragged his feet to the top before nightfall.

Zhu Qiao's colleagues and others couldn't continue. They forfeited and walked down the stairs.

However, Zhu Qiao was smarter. She copied Gan Ning's action and reached the goal as well.

The test ended. Four people had passed the white tiger's test and earned the qualification to become Jiangdong White Tiger Sect's inner disciples.
