The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!

Just as the process continued, Su Mo suddenly paused.

"Hm?"

His gaze landed on one of the prison cells deeper inside. A hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"There is actually a Peak Golden Core cultivator here."

He carefully examined the prisoner for a moment before relaxing slightly.

Normally, using Illusion on someone stronger than himself would have been almost impossible. However, the heavy energy-restraining handcuffs wrapped around the prisoner’s wrists and ankles had almost completely sealed his cultivation, leaving him with no strength to resist.

It was undoubtedly a stroke of luck.

Su Mo looked at Wu Yuna.

"Grandaunt. Who is this guy? Your sect prison actually has someone this strong locked up."

Wu Yuna followed his gaze before calmly answering,

"This is Dowblis Snake. He is an extremely heinous cultivator responsible for numerous crimes. He was captured by Wu Taeyong during one of his outings."

After a slight pause, she continued,

"He is also the Fourth Division Leader of the Kirin Hall."

"Kirin Hall?!"

Yang Qingxi immediately reacted the moment she heard that name.

"Grandaunt..." Yang Qingxi asked without hesitation, "Can you tell us more about the Kirin Hall?"

Wu Yuna thought for a moment before slowly shaking her head. "I don’t know much. I only know that the Kirin Hall is a very mysterious organisation. Their members are active in various countries throughout the world."

Yang Qingxi nodded thoughtfully.

"I see."

Although the answer wasn’t particularly detailed, it at least confirmed that the first piece of Daily Intelligence referred to a known organisation rather than some hidden force.

Su Mo noticed Yang Qingxi’s thoughtful expression and couldn’t help but become curious himself.

Why had she reacted so strongly after hearing the name Kirin Hall?

However, seeing that she didn’t intend to explain it, he also chose not to ask. There would be plenty of time later.

Right now... Something else attracted far more of his attention. His gaze slowly returned to Dowblis Snake.

A Golden Core cultivator.

If the reincarnation succeeded... The Demonic Transformation would raise his cultivation by one realm.

Since Dowblis Snake’s current cultivation was already at the Golden Core Stage (Level Nine).

Which meant... If everything went smoothly... He would obtain a Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Servant!

Even Su Mo couldn’t help feeling his heartbeat quicken, thinking of this.

He took a slow breath to calm himself before his scarlet pupils once again began to glow.

The eight-horned skull pattern slowly condensed in front of him.

Unlike before, however, Su Mo didn’t immediately launch it toward the prisoner.

Instead, he carefully increased the power of the ability to the limit, while making sure every detail was stable.

He had only one opportunity. Failure would mean losing the strongest candidate in the entire prison.

After confirming everything was ready, Su Mo finally raised his hand.

Under his nervous yet expectant gaze... The skull pattern quietly flew toward Dowblis Snake, and the reincarnation process began.

Meanwhile, Shen Kai had quietly gathered the trusted members of his own faction. Everything was being carried out in secret, but despite his caution, his movements still caught Wu Haruto’s attention.

Inside the Sect Master’s Office, Wu Haruto listened to the reports from his subordinates before dismissing them with a wave of his hand. The room gradually fell silent as he remained standing there without saying a word.

"..."

After a long moment, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Are you really planning to rebel... Shen Kai?"

His voice carried a trace of pain.

For decades, Shen Kai had been his closest companion, someone who had stood beside him through countless battles. Even when they argued, Wu Haruto had never imagined the day would come when the two of them would stand on opposite sides.

However, that hesitation only lasted for a brief moment.

When Wu Haruto opened his eyes again, the hesitation had already disappeared, leaving behind only cold determination.

"Then... So be it."

"I shall put an end to this myself."

With those words, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Outside, dark cirrus clouds had already gathered above the White Moon Sect. The cold wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it an ominous chill.

A heavy snowstorm was about to arrive that would soon sweep the entire sect.

At almost the same time, Wu Lao also returned to his residence with an excited smile on his face.

Today, he was going to propose to Miss Ling.

Holding the bouquet in his hands, he walked into the courtyard before immediately noticing a familiar figure sitting quietly in the garden.

Ye Chen was seated beneath the pavilion, silently looking at the snow that had gradually begun covering the trees and stone paths.

"Miss Ling!"

Hearing his voice, Ye Chen slowly turned around.

"...You’re back."

Her voice carried a hint of bitterness, but Wu Lao was far too excited to notice the subtle change.

He walked toward her with a determined expression.

"There’s something I wish to tell you."

Ye Chen lowered her gaze slightly.

"I also have something to say..."

Her dull voice made Wu Lao pause.

"Please speak, Miss Ling."

Ye Chen gently shook her head.

"No. You go first."

"Alright," Wu Lao took a deep breath. As though gathering all his courage, he stepped forward before slowly kneeling on one knee in front of her.

Then he raised the bouquet of roses in both hands.

"I know this may sound abrupt." He smiled somewhat nervously.

"But I’ve deeply fallen in love with you, Miss Ling."

"It’s true that we’ve only known each other for a few days, and I understand it’s difficult for you to trust my words." He looked directly into her eyes.

"Even so, I still hope you’ll give me a chance."

"I want to spend the rest of my life proving just how much I love you."

He tightened his grip on the bouquet before asking sincerely,

"So..."

"Miss Ling..."

"Will you marry me?"

After saying everything in one breath, Wu Lao slowly closed his eyes.
