Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 165: Death at the Hands of a Simp  

Gu Anran’s face carried a look of determination—she had already made up her mind to sacrifice herself.

As long as Qin Xian agreed to let Wen Yu go, she was willing to give him everything—her body, her freedom, her entire existence.

This was all she had left. More importantly, this was her way of atoning for her sins. Because all of this… was her fault!

Hearing her words, Wen Xu, Li Ling, and the others all turned to look at her. However, their faces did not show the gratitude or admiration that Gu Anran had imagined.

Instead, they looked at her with the expression one would give to an idiot. At this point, Wen Xu had completely lost all hope in Gu Anran’s stupidity.

Her sheer foolishness made him feel physically sick. The face he once loved and cherished—now filled him with nothing but disgust.

Especially with his sister Wen Yu suffering right before his eyes, being enslaved and tortured—Wen Xu had already reached his mental breaking point.

And all of this, was because of Gu Anran!

Qin Xian also looked at Gu Anran with a strange expression. To be honest, he had thought that this “Child of Destiny”—this so-called heroine—would at least be a little more intelligent.

But no… she was even stupider than he had expected. Did she really think she was worth anything to him?

Enslaving Wen Yu would allow the Qin Family to gain full control of the Eastern Military. It would place their deepest mole right next to Regent Lu Ji, infiltrating the heart of the Empire itself.

And yet, Gu Anran thought she could exchange herself for Wen Yu? Yes, she was beautiful—but for a high-ranking noble like Qin Xian, women were the least valuable resource.

Did she actually believe her own worth could compare to the entire Eastern Military? More importantly… from the very start, Gu Anran had already been marked for death.

The only reason she was still alive was because Qin Xian had been using her.

But now? She had outlived her usefulness.

Before Qin Xian could even act, Wen Xu snapped. All of his pain, his rage, his grief—he directed it all toward Gu Anran.

“EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED—IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!!” Wen Xu’s bloodshot eyes burned with madness as he rushed toward Gu Anran, his face twisted in fury.

SLAP—!!!

His palm struck her face with full force, sending her staggering. And before she could even recover, Wen Xu thrust his shattered greatsword straight into her chest!

Gu Anran stared in disbelief. The man who once loved her more than anything.

The man who once held her in his hands like a precious treasure, who couldn’t bear to see her suffer even the slightest injustice…Was now the one who killed her.

In that moment, time seemed to slow down.

Gu Anran’s heart shattered.

She didn’t understand why everyone was blaming her? She had never wanted to hurt anyone!

“Wen Xu… you…” She tried to speak, but before she could finish, Wen Xu’s blade pierced through her completely.

Just a few hours ago, they were still on the verge of becoming lovers—he had loved her with all his heart. And now? He had personally ended her life.

Qin Xian watched this unfold, his eyes deep and unreadable, a mocking smirk playing on his lips.

Gu Anran… what a joke.

She may have been a “Child of Destiny”, but in reality, her role was nothing more than a typical Mary Sue—a character who might be useful in petty court intrigues and romantic drama.

But in this cruel world, she was nothing but a disposable pawn. Her foolishness and naivety had caused countless deaths.

Now, even Wen Xu—a man who once worshiped her—had finally woken up. Too bad… it was far too late.

As Gu Anran collapsed, blood gushing from her chest, her final thought was disbelief. She couldn’t comprehend that she had died at Wen Xu’s hands…

As Gu Anran’s life faded away, a system prompt echoed in Qin Xian’s mind.

> [Main Quest #3 Completed: Eliminate the Threat of Gu Anran (1/1)].

> [Reward: +200 Villain Points].

> [Current Villain Level: 5].

> [Experience Points: (130/600)].

> [Available Attribute Points: +200].

> [New Passive Ability Acquired—Charm Domination: Charisma permanently maximized, +500% attraction effect on the opposite gender.].

Seeing the new ability, Qin Xian’s expression turned a bit… odd.

Huh.

So this was one of Gu Anran’s natural abilities? That actually explained a lot.

No wonder Wen Xu and so many others had been utterly obsessed with her, despite her absolute lack of intelligence.

Honestly, for Qin Xian, this ability was rather useless. With his looks, power, and status, he already had MAX attraction towards women.

But… If this passive charm worked on gods as well, then perhaps… it might actually be useful.

Wen Xu stood frozen, his mind blank as he gazed at Gu Anran’s lifeless body.

And at that moment—Wen Yu was finally fully enslaved. The [Ancient God’s Pest] had taken full effect.

She slowly rose to her feet, her eyes locked onto Qin Xian. Her memories, emotions, and intelligence were all intact—but because of the curse’s power, her very soul had been rewritten.

Her loyalties had shifted. To Wen Yu, her brother, her comrades, her old life—They meant nothing now.

They were no more important than ants on the roadside. There was only one thing left in her heart: Absolute submission to Qin Xian.

“…Sister?” Wen Xu’s voice trembled as he stepped forward.

Wen Yu glanced at him—And in that single glance, Wen Xu completely broke down. There was no warmth in her eyes. No familial bond.

Only indifference—as if she were looking at a stranger. Seeing this, Qin Xian gave a casual wave of his hand.

Immediately, the Qin Family’s elite warriors stepped forward—And executed Wen Xu, Li Ling, and the others on the spot.

For Qin Xian, Gu Anran, Wen Xu, and the rest had only ever been pawns to control Wen Yu. Now that he had what he wanted, there was no need to keep them alive.

With a satisfied smirk, Qin Xian turned toward Wen Yu.

The Eastern Military was now fully under his control. And now…It was time to take over the rest of the Empire.
