Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

"Hiss—"

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What am I doing?"

The half-awake teenager groggily propped up his body.

His mind was a blank, his memory had fragments missing, his eyes were blurry, and a slight pain throbbed deep in his brain, making him grimace and frown while holding his head.

Chaotic memories pieced together in his mind; the pain didn't come from his body but from his spirit. Previously, he didn't understand why Yu Ying almost lost her life for half a month just by looking at him. Now he knew.

"Such a large rift, is this... the tear made by Xuan Xiaozi?"

After a moment, the chaotic memories finally gathered and took shape in his mind.

The sluggish reaction was a hallmark of the Divine Soul being damaged. After all, when faced with an old monster like Xuan Xiaozi, no matter how talented one was, there was no way to fight back.

"What happened afterwards."

"What happened inside my body? I only remember being tricked by Xuan Xiaozi, with a bunch of chaotic things flowing into my body, along with that scoundrel's soul."

"Wait, was I possessed?"

He lay there for a while with his eyes open until he felt his mind clear slightly, quickly inspecting internally.

His body was sore and slightly swollen. At a glance, he found that every meridian was bulging, as if completely filled, a feeling somewhat similar to when he first took the Scarlet Pill.

No different than undergoing a bodily quenching on the spot.

"What's going on? His soul isn't here? Where did it go? I haven't been possessed, or else I couldn't possibly control my body... What trick did he use?"

He clenched his fist.

His memory lingered on yesterday when Xuan Xiaozi merged into his body, attaching to his flesh and Divine Soul. He didn't recall much of what happened next, only that he cursed vehemently, going as far as to sever his meridians to avoid becoming a puppet.

But unfortunately, it was all foiled by Xuan Xiaozi.

Creak—

The sudden sound at the door drew the teenager's gaze.

"Senior Brother is awake, Senior Sister, Senior Sister! Senior Brother is awake!"

Lin Jiangxian's reaction was a bit strange.

In the past, she would have shyly rushed over for a hug, but now, although her expression was animated and excited, it also carried more caution.

She took a step back to block the doorway, one hand hidden behind her back. Based on his understanding of his little junior sister, the girl likely held a sword seal in her hand.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Feng was still a bit puzzled looking at his junior sister, but Lin Jiangxian simply said nervously, "Senior Brother, you, you can't move, stay put until Senior Sister arrives."

"..."

Expression frozen.

But with Miss Lin's call, a few women from the Mountain Gate came in one after another, all staring directly at him.

Looking him up and down with that eerie gaze made him somewhat uneasy, the pressure intense, like a philanderer caught in the act, sweating profusely but cautiously asking.

"Um, what's the matter?"

"Shut up."

A slap on the wheelchair.

Upon a closer look, even Lu Luo, who couldn't walk yet, came wheeling over to join the commotion, glaring angrily. Even the usually gentle Su Yi watched him with a highly vigilant gaze.

Clap!

Hand gripping the Purple Gold Whip.

Lu Luo, typically mischievous, seemed like a different person now, her eyes slightly slanted. Just a glance, and the innate nobility made Mr. Jiang somewhat surprised.

"Will you come out yourself, or should I, the great one, invite you out?"

Gulp~

His mind went blank.

Until now, his mind was still a bit muddled. Though a rift in the Divine Soul wouldn't affect his abilities, he needed a few days to recuperate. But he quickly realized why the girls were so ready for confrontation.

"No, listen to my explanation! I'm not Xuan Xiaozi, nor Xiao Xuan. It was that jerk trying to possess me but failed..."

"Oh, confessing without torture."

Just a cool chuckle.

A few women stepped forward, directly surrounding the bed, especially when they saw Jiang Feng intending to get out of bed, which made them pull out their Magic Treasures.

"You vile Evil Cultivator, desist from your madness. Leave my Senior Brother's body at once, or you will be annihilated, body and soul!"

"Don't move, hands up!"

"You wretched thing! Come out of my husband's body now..."

Among them, only Liang Yu looked calm, but her actions showed her vigilance. She hadn't heard of Xuan Xiaozi's name, but the naming style and seniority made it clear he was an elder expert.

Moreover, Liang Yu's Country was also plagued by Evil Cultivators attempting possessions, with many young disciples falling victim each year.

Together, they shouted with cold fierceness, and with that last cry, Jiang Feng, who was halfway off the bed, suddenly stopped.

"What the heck, who's your husband, trying to get benefits out of me, huh?"

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

The girls all looked at Lu Luo sitting in the wheelchair, but she merely gave a cold laugh, "Well, well, showing flaws again. Clearly, we consummated our marriage two years ago, and the child could be running errands by now. Xuan Xiaozi, since you've been exposed, why not show yourself!"

Everyone looked at Jiang Feng.

"Weren't you entertaining guests at the foot of Zixiao Mountain two years ago, clamoring to inspect how good our sect's disciples were? Did I lose my mind?"

"Hmm? Then tell me, how did we meet three years ago?"
