After the Villain Gave Up, the Female Lead Started Chasing Him

Chapter 4: Successfully Slacking Off, Fang Chen Obtains the Heaven and Earth Seal Technique!:

Just now, Lin Luowei had nearly been injured—that was absurd.

As a cultivator at the 9th stage Heavenly Origin Realm and a prodigy of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land, if she were wounded by a group of Divine Sea Realm beasts, it would’ve been beyond ridiculous.

Xiao Yunting said nothing.

Looking at it now, his earlier intervention was clearly unnecessary.

“Master, my plan failed today… but maybe I can still rely on her to get into the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land. Do you think that’s possible?”

Since his plan had failed, Xiao Yunting could only hope to enter the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land through Lin Luowei.

“That’s hard to say. Although you helped her, the effect wasn’t significant.”

“Perhaps, since you meant well, she might be willing to recommend you to the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land.”

Elder Ming wasn’t entirely sure either.

Another loud boom rang out. Countless fierce beasts fell, and those nearby fled in terror.

“Lin… Miss,”

Xiao Yunting wanted to call her Miss Lin, but then remembered they hadn’t officially been introduced yet.

However, Lin Luowei’s eyes sparkled—this Xiao Yunting clearly knew who she was.

“What is it?”

Lin Luowei asked coldly.

“Ah, I still don’t know your name,”

Xiao Yunting said with an awkward smile.

He had originally believed his plan was flawless and destined to succeed.

He didn’t expect Lin Luowei to be so powerful that even the beasts fled before her.

“Lin Luowei.”

She looked at Xiao Yunting, curious about what exactly he was trying to do.

“You’re the Lin Luowei of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land? The one hailed as the number one prodigy of the Eastern Divine Region?”

Xiao Yunting spoke with feigned astonishment.

He intentionally elevated her status, calling her the top prodigy of the Eastern Divine Region, hoping to leave a good impression.

It was a bit sycophantic, sure—but who could resist such praise?

“The number one prodigy? That’s not me.”

Lin Luowei sneered inwardly.

This Xiao Yunting was such a faker—he probably didn’t even believe his own words.

He obviously recognized her but pretended like he didn’t.

“Aren’t you the Lin Luowei of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land then?”

Xiao Yunting asked, feigning confusion.

“I am Lin Luowei of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land, but I’m not the number one prodigy of the Eastern Divine Region. Please don’t say such things again. You’ll only make a fool of yourself.”

Her expression was complex.

When she thought of Fang Chen—the Holy Son of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land—even though she hadn’t liked him before, in terms of talent, no one in the entire Eastern Divine Region could compare to him.

Perhaps even in the whole Tianxuan World, only a handful could match him.

“But in my eyes, I believe you will definitely become the number one prodigy of the Eastern Divine Region. No one else can compare,”

Xiao Yunting said with a smile.

As long as he kept flattering her, he believed he still had a chance.

“Don’t say things like that again,”

Lin Luowei said with a frown.

Xiao Yunting’s expression stiffened—this Lin Luowei was really hard to please.

Realizing she didn’t enjoy this kind of talk, Xiao Yunting didn’t push the issue further. He quickly changed the subject:

“Fairy Lin, I’ve admired the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land for a long time and always wanted to train there.”

“Unfortunately, I’ve never been chosen by any of its elders, so I’ve never had the chance to enter. I wonder if you could recommend me?”

“You may not know this, but when I was young, my entire family was wiped out. The enemy was too powerful, and I couldn’t avenge them.

If I could train in the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land and grow stronger through hard work, I’m certain I could one day take my revenge.”

Of course, the so-called blood feud was fake.

Xiao Yunting was just playing the pity card, trying to win Lin Luowei’s sympathy so she’d help him get into the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land.

But when Lin Luowei thought about how her entire clan might have been slaughtered by Xiao Yunting’s own father—

and now this Xiao Yunting was using a fake tragedy to get close to her and earn her sympathy—she felt utterly disgusted.

A surge of killing intent rose in her heart. She wanted nothing more than to kill Xiao Yunting right now.

But then she remembered how important Xiao Yunting was to Fang Chen, and she still wanted to confirm Fang Chen’s inner thoughts through him.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Luowei said,

“Alright. I’ll help you get in.”

Hearing her agree, Xiao Yunting was overjoyed. He quickly said,

“Thank you, Fairy Lin, for your help!”

On the surface, he looked full of gratitude. But deep down, he thought:

Such an arrogant woman… I’ll make you kneel before me sooner or later.

And just like that, Lin Luowei brought Xiao Yunting to the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land.

This news naturally reached Fang Chen’s ears.

As the Holy Son of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land, Fang Chen’s status was second only to the Holy Lord himself.

Everyone beneath him would go out of their way to gather information for him.

Any news related to Lin Luowei was always delivered to Fang Chen immediately.

“Your Highness, I noticed that Xiao Yunting seems rather close to Fairy Lin. Should we do something about it?” A man asked as he looked at Fang Chen.

The man’s name was Qiu Long, commander of the Holy Spirit Peak’s guards. His cultivation was naturally high, and he had followed Fang Chen for many years with unwavering loyalty.

Fang Chen entrusted Qiu Long with many tasks.

Qiu Long knew Fang Chen had always liked Lin Luowei. He had already considered her as the future Dao companion of their Holy Son.

So he frequently paid close attention to Lin Luowei’s movements.

“No need.”

“From now on, don’t report anything about Lin Luowei to me. It’s a waste of time.”

Fang Chen said bluntly.

Now that he had chosen to slack off, he had no interest in getting involved with the male or female lead.

That would only interfere with his slacking-off plan.

Qiu Long was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

In the past, Fang Chen would be extremely concerned about anything related to Lin Luowei.

Now he was not only indifferent but even sounded annoyed.

Had the Holy Son stopped liking Lin Luowei?

“Understood!”

Qiu Long didn’t ask any more questions. Since that was Fang Chen’s command, he would follow it.

No matter what the reason was, it wasn’t his place to question.

To fully commit to his slacker lifestyle, Fang Chen added,

“And as for that Xiao Yunting, don’t engage with him either. Just ignore him.”

In most novels, the villain—someone like Fang Chen—would often suppress the protagonist early on.

But it was precisely that suppression that would help the protagonist grow rapidly and shine later.

Now that Fang Chen had chosen to slack off, he had no intention of interfering with Xiao Yunting.

In fact, he was curious to see whether Xiao Yunting could still rise quickly without his interference.

At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in Fang Chen’s mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has successfully slacked off and received the Saint-grade secret technique: Heaven and Earth Seal!]

Because Fang Chen had stayed out of the male and female leads’ business, the system determined he had successfully slacked off—and thus rewarded him.

“A Saint-grade secret technique? Heaven and Earth Seal?”

“Not bad at all!”

A glint of excitement flashed through Fang Chen’s eyes.

Even as the Holy Son of a sacred land, and despite already possessing several Saint-grade and even Emperor-grade secret techniques,

one could never have too many high-level techniques.

A Saint-grade secret art was incredibly powerful.

It could unleash tremendous force, and having one more technique meant stronger combat power and one more trump card.

Naturally, Fang Chen wouldn’t complain about getting more.
