The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

140. The Villain Development Plan

“What a mess this all is.”

Lin Nuo was hopping from rooftop to rooftop in the town, and after much difficulty, he made it back, only to become more infuriated the more he thought about it. He had gone to great lengths to establish a network of relationships, spending money through various connections, finally gaining access to the social circles of the elite, only for a fight to break out, right when he was about to make a trade.

All he wanted was to quietly transport some goods; why was it so difficult?

In short, this trip to the black market was a failure, but there was an unexpected discovery: he encountered Ling Meng, a demoness with extraordinary talent.

To be honest, she was part of his plan, but not yet. His current plan was to establish a laboratory, which required materials. Unfortunately, both times he ventured out, complications arose, and he failed to acquire the desired goods, instead attracting a whole lot of trouble.

This time was better than the last; at least his laboratory was still intact, not blown up like before.

Since he ran into Ling Meng at the black market, it must have been fate, destined for them to meet earlier than planned.

In Lin Nuo’s memory, Ling Meng was supposed to be the villainous counterpart to Su Kexin. She had the same constitution as Su Kexin, capable of a blood-fueled burst, counter-killing her opponents, and then experiencing a terrifying surge in strength.

However, Ling Meng’s luck was worse than Su Kexin’s. She hadn’t fully developed like Su Kexin and was killed midway by a roaming swordsman. Even with her burst ability, it was useless; the power gap was too vast, and she was crushed, unable to turn the tables.

But that was a story for later. In fact, Lin Nuo had little interaction with Ling Meng. By the time he fell into demonhood and became an apprentice, Ling Meng had already been killed. There was no storyline of Ling Meng facing off against Su Kexin, nor was there a time when he, at the peak of his demonic power, encountered her.

Now, he had a bold idea.

It was to change Ling Meng’s development path. The Sword Saint wouldn’t bother to kill minor villains; the reason he killed her was that she was too ostentatious. She had slain countless righteous disciples and destroyed many towns, plunging countless innocents into a sea of fire.

Moreover, her constitution allowed for blood-fueled bursts, and because she had counter-killed righteous warriors many times, those who came to subdue her were of increasingly higher levels, until only the Sword Saint could take her on.

In his memory, when he first became a demon apprentice, the Sword Saint was quite formidable. Even Su Kexin couldn’t become the leader of the righteous path. Su Kexin’s strength in the later stages was simply due to leveling up step by step, encountering opponents just one or two ranks above her, counter-killing them, and advancing smoothly.

But Ling Meng was different. She hadn’t fully developed and directly challenged the righteous path’s boss. Her burst was useless, and she went straight to the underworld to be reborn.

Therefore, Lin Nuo’s plan was to have Ling Meng follow Su Kexin’s leveling path, to take it slow, keep a low profile, develop stealthily, and not to provoke the invincible boss too soon. Moreover, Ling Meng’s natural progression was too slow; she needed his intervention. Having him as a mentor would undoubtedly be a qualitative leap for her cultivation, easily surpassing Su Kexin, and eventually becoming the weapon to restrain her.

Getting in touch with Ling Meng early on and becoming her mentor has a significant advantage: it allows for control over her before she rises to fame. Otherwise, once she bursts onto the scene and her abilities surpass Lin Nuo by a wide margin, she’ll be uncontrollable. But if he gains control over her now, he can easily command her in the future.

This plan, what’s it called? The Villainous Boss Development Plan!

“Excellent, I’m truly a genius!”

Lin Nuo jotted down his grand scheme in his notebook, laughing heartily as he wrote.

But then, Lin Nuo faced a dilemma.

How the hell do I approach her? Join the Demon Cult as an undercover agent and then tell her, “You’re too weak, I’ll be your mentor”?

He’d surely be kicked out.

But whatever, let’s first set the grand plan and worry about the rest later. Time for a meat floss bun and a cup of tea to calm down.

“Ah~”

Reclining in the master’s chair, sipping hot tea, nibbling on a meat floss bun—utterly comfortable.

He had gone out today and encountered a minor hiccup, but it wasn’t a big deal. It required timely adjustment and timely enjoyment to relax.

He was just a passerby, and they didn’t know his true identity. They would never come to this little cabin, so he felt safe and could rest easy.

It couldn’t be like last time when someone came looking for him because he took someone else’s suitcase. This time he hadn’t done anything, just a bystander. How could he possibly be caught in the crossfire?

“Bilabala bing bang boom, jili crackle @#¥”

A cacophony came from outside, even with strong spiritual energy fluctuating.

“What the heck? It’s not like saying something will make it happen, right? That sound…”

Hearing this, Lin Nuo’s heart skipped a beat.

Damn, it was the sound of his mechanism.

Lin Nuo sensed something was wrong, quickly finished his meat floss bun, gulped down his tea, and hurriedly grabbed his sword to run outside.

Sure enough, there were many people outside, entering the mechanism area, triggering a series of traps. A large group was caught, unable to move, some even… it was a gruesome scene.

“What’s going on?”

Lin Nuo was still bewildered when he saw a group chasing a severely injured girl. She was facing away from him, and he couldn’t see her face clearly.

Usually, in such situations, it’s about the hero saving the damsel in distress.

But Lin Nuo didn’t see it that way; he wanted to kill them all.

“There are mechanisms and formations here, let’s break the formation quickly!”

After being devastated, these people realized there was a formation and hurriedly worked together to break it. Lin Nuo wasn’t about to give them the chance, throwing a bomb their way.

Boom!

A group screamed in agony, their underwear blown to shreds.

“It’s him, that guy! Take him down!”

The group was from the Heilong Hall, recognizing Lin Nuo with the black scar on his face. They remembered encountering him before at the pavilion and blamed the failure of their pavilion plan on him, quickly focusing their firepower on him.

“Even dogs know not to bite people in their own homes.”

Lin Nuo’s index and middle fingers came together as he muttered an incantation.

“Let me show you the power of the Wind Kill Formation.”

In an instant, a fierce whirlwind rose, encircling the approaching people, slashing wildly at the members of the He Clan like blades.

“Ah!!!”

With a series of agonizing screams, the crowd fell, becoming lost souls within the Wind Kill Formation.

With the pre-placed spirit stones enhancing its power, the spiritual formation surged, and in combination with the mechanism, a large group became lost souls.

However, the downside was that the mechanisms and formations he had painstakingly set up were all gone, and he had to work overtime to reset them.

Only the young girl remained, kneeling on one knee, her wounds bleeding onto the grass, seemingly exhausted.

Lin Nuo picked up his sword and approached her.

“Well, since you’ve come in, you can die too.”

Lin Nuo raised his sword, about to strike her, but then she lifted her head, and Lin Nuo saw her face.

“Why is it you, you jinx?”

Lin Nuo withdrew his sword.
