1: Is it really possible to do anything?

[The previous book was sanctioned, and despite fighting with all my might, I could not overcome it. The author has reformed. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it myself.]

In the Heavenly Profound Realm, inside the Holy Son's Palace of the Primordial Holy Land.

"Holy Son Lu, please show mercy and let my brother go!"

Lu Yi sat on the main throne of the hall, looking at the slender, cold, and beautiful young girl below.

What's going on? Let her brother go? Who is her brother?

Ever since he came to this world, he had always adhered to the principles of being elegant and easy-going. When had he ever targeted anyone?

That's right, Lu Yi was a lucky Transmigration traveler.

After arriving in this world, he relied on his own hard work and struggle to become the Saint of the Primordial Holy Land... This... was, of course, impossible.

The truth was that as soon as he arrived in this world, he happened to encounter the Taichu Old Ancestor who was out traveling.

As soon as the Taichu Old Ancestor saw him, he identified him as a peerless genius and directly took him in as a Personal Disciple.

For some reason, his body from Earth actually managed to Cultivate at an incredibly fast speed in this world.

Then, for some inexplicable reason, he became the Saint of the Primordial Holy Land.

To be honest, Lu Yi hated this title. For anyone who couldn't distinguish between the different 'de' particles, this title was basically an insult to him.

Moreover, in his memory, he didn't have any good impressions of a place like the Primordial Holy Land.

Novel plots change like flowing water, but the Primordial Holy Land is as solid as iron.

Besides, his surname wasn't one of those like Xiao, Lin, Ye, or Chu that came with their own Luck.

Plus, he had never received any 'ding-dong' System notification sounds.

You could say he was fully stacked with debuffs.

With this setting, he would be a total villain in any traditional Xuanhuan power fantasy.

So, since becoming the Saint, he had always lived in seclusion, trying his best to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But who knew that today, this young girl would suddenly come to request an audience, and his maid couldn't drive her away no matter what.

Lu Yi had no choice but to let her in to see what was going on.

Who knew that before he could even speak, she would be the first to plead for him to let her brother go.

Lu Yi sized her up carefully; her features were delicate and soft, her skin fair and tender, and her figure slender and youthful. Although she wasn't old, she was indeed already 'not small'.

Although she was very beautiful, Lu Yi really didn't know her, let alone her brother.

So Lu Yi waved his hand, and a woman in black tight-fitting clothes with a hot figure appeared silently beside him.

She then bowed respectfully to him. The bow wasn't deep, but the proud curves in front of her dipped quite a bit.

Lu Yi looked at her, then pointed at the girl in the hall and asked directly:

"Ling'er, what's the situation here?"

The girl named Ling'er stood up and replied:

"Reporting to Master, she is Grand Elder Shen He's Personal Disciple, Lin Qingxuan. Her brother is the Outer Sect Disciple of the Holy Land, Lin Tian."

"A few days ago, Lin Tian spoke rudely to you in front of your followers. He was then captured by everyone and thrown into the Fierce Beast Garden to fend for himself."

Below, Lin Qingxuan couldn't help but feel anxious when she heard that her brother had been sent to the Fierce Beast Garden.

With her brother's current cultivation, every extra moment he spent in the Fierce Beast Garden put his life in great danger.

So she hurriedly pleaded with Lu Yi again:

"Holy Son Lu, my brother was just acting out of haste when he spoke rudely. Please be magnanimous and let him go!"

Just as Lu Yi was about to respond, a crisp System notification sounded in his mind:

[Ding! The destined female protagonist has made a request to you. Please make your choice:]

[Option 1: Lin Tian spoke rudely and must be severely punished; otherwise, where would the dignity of the Sect's laws be? Reward: Star Immortal Art (Heaven Rank · Growth Type)]

[Option 2: Stay here today, and I will spare your brother's life; Reward: Physique evolution (Star Body → Star Immortal Body)]

[Option 3: You may go, I will let your brother off this time, but I hope there won't be a next time; Reward: Star Shifting (Divine Ability)]

Hearing this notification and seeing the options appearing before him, Lu Yi felt a surge of wild joy in his heart.

System! The System is finally here!

Do you know how I've lived all these years?

Every day, besides eating three meals, there was only Cultivate. Life was truly too comfortable yet boring!

However, he quickly reacted. The System notified him that the destined female protagonist had made a request, which meant that Lin Qingxuan was the destined female protagonist.

Doesn't that mean her brother, Lin Tian, is most likely one of the Sons of Destiny?

Surnamed Lin, two-character name, has a sister—it's almost certain.

And in the end, am I still a villain?

Lu Yi couldn't help but rest his forehead in his hand. As expected, it was just as he had predicted.

But it wasn't a big deal. Now that he had the System, what was there to fear from a mere Sons of Destiny?!

Then he seriously considered how to choose. He wanted all three rewards; what should he do?

While he was hesitating over which option to pick, he suddenly had a brainwave!

This wasn't a Galgame; it didn't say he could only choose one option!

So he decided to make a bold attempt first.

He then feigned anger, slapped the armrest of his seat, and rebuked sternly:

"These people are truly too much. How could they throw him directly into the Fierce Beast Garden?!"

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lin Qingxuan thought he was criticizing his followers for their disregard for human life. She couldn't help but look happy, thinking that the Saint was indeed magnanimous.

But before she could even get happy, Lu Yi's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Aren't they afraid he might injure the precious Vicious Beasts while resisting? Don't they know to cripple his cultivation and break all five of his limbs before throwing him in?!"

Then Lu Yi looked at Lin Qingxuan with a smile and said:

"Lin Tian spoke rudely and must be severely punished; otherwise, where would the dignity of the Sect's laws be? Don't you agree, Miss Lin..."

Without the System, he was timid, but with the System, he had to strike hard!

Anyway, according to his setting, even if he didn't look for trouble, trouble would find him. It was better to take the initiative.

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lin Qingxuan became even more panicked. She had come to find Lu Yi to save her brother, but who knew she would end up making things worse.

Seeing Lin Qingxuan lose her composure due to panic, Lu Yi decided to add more fuel to the fire. He turned his head and said to Ling'er:

"Ling'er, send someone right now to cripple Lin Tian's cultivation and break his five limbs! We absolutely cannot let him do anything to harm the Vicious Beasts!"

"Wait!!"

Seeing the maid named Ling'er about to leave, Lin Qingxuan hurriedly shouted to stop her and continued to plead:

"Saint, please spare my brother's life! I... I... I will do anything you ask!"

Lin Qingxuan bit her lip and finally said the words she was most reluctant to say.

"Oh~ Really anything?"

Hearing Lu Yi's playful voice, Lin Qingxuan's heart was in turmoil, but she still bit her lower lip and nodded.

"Then... stay here today, and I will spare your brother's life. How about it?"

"This... this..."

Lin Qingxuan naturally knew what this meant. Although she had prepared for the worst before coming, she still felt a mix of emotions at this moment.

"Miss Lin, you wouldn't want your brother to become fodder for the Vicious Beasts, would you..."

In the end, Lin Qingxuan gritted her teeth and agreed:

"Fine! I... I promise you!"

Seeing her struggling yet helpless look, Lu Yi felt strangely refreshed.

"Good. Then without further ado, come back to my bedchamber with me now."

After saying this, Lu Yi stood up and walked toward the bedchamber.

"N-now? But isn't it still... daytime..."

Lin Qingxuan was a bit nervous. "Daytime? What's wrong with daytime? For you, shouldn't it be the sooner you can save your brother, the better?"

"If you want to wait until night, I don't mind, but I don't know if your brother can hold out."

"Maybe by then, he will have already become a product of the five grains' Reincarnation. Don't blame me for not warning you..."

Then Lu Yi walked toward the bedchamber without looking back.

After hearing his words, Lin Qingxuan blushed, lowered her head, and hurriedly followed his footsteps.
