Systemless Villain

Qin Chen and Han Yuan chatted about many things, until they were unaware of the late night. The bright moon had disappeared, hidden by the clouds.

"Hahaha, the more I know you, Qin Chen, the more you remind me of your father," Han Yuan said, laughing.

"I also didn't expect that you're a distant relative of my grandfather, old Han. No wonder you care so much about my family," Qin Chen said.

"I owe a life debt to your family, but when they were in danger, I wasn't there to protect them... Fate seems to have other plans. The Qin family left you, Qin Chen, and I have a duty to keep you safe," Han Yuan said seriously.

"I appreciate your kindness, old Han," Qin Chen said sincerely.

"Don't think about it. It is, at least, what I owe to the last descendant of the Qin family," Han Yuan said, smiling.

Qin Chen smiled. While chatting with Han Yuan, he learned many things, including things about Han Yuan himself.

But the main topic he discussed was the Meng family and the Long family. Han Yuan had also been investigating the tragedy of his family's massacre, and it was not easy to uncover the mastermind.

What was certain, he already knew who they were. The Meng family and the Long family, he would surely take revenge.

But it definitely wasn't a quick process, as he was currently too weak, he needed to train hard and become stronger.

"Oh right, you said earlier that you will explore the Tianzhou forest, right? I will accompany you, this forest is a bit weird, especially at night," Han Yuan said.

"Alright," Qin Chen nodded.

After that, the two of them entered the forest.

Meanwhile, back at the villa...

Long Tian had just finished dinner. Li Yue'er had cooked quite a lot, and he was also hungry, so he thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

"I don't know what's happening, but hopefully it doesn't happen too soon," Long Tian said, wiping the leftovers with a tissue.

He suddenly thought about Li Yue'er. She was a Heroine and certainly not just an ordinary girl. Li Yue'er had a special physique that was quite strong. But of course, it also had side effects.

Without thinking long, Long Tian went upstairs to see Li Yue'er.

*********

Upon arriving, he walked to one of the bedrooms on the second floor. As he held the doorknob, he noticed that the door was locked from the inside.

Long Tian knocked on the door and called out, "Li Yue'er, are you inside?"

But there was no response from Li Yue'er.

Long Tian frowned, he could clearly sense the aura of someone's presence inside this room.

He hated destroying his property, but there was no other way... He immediately broke the door down.

Bang!

The door instantly shattered, revealing a luxurious bedroom with Li Yue'er lying on the bed.

Long Tian immediately sensed the presence of Reiki in the room. He had suspected this, so he immediately approached Li Yue'er.

At this moment, she was unconscious, but her body was releasing so much Reiki, the amount was like the Reiki in the mountains.

Long Tian knew what this was: one of the side effects of her special physique, the nine realms body.

In the original plot, this physique was extremely powerful because Li Yue'er didn't need to cultivate to become strong. Her body seemed to be a link between nine worlds where she had the ability to draw and store Reiki from these worlds into her body.

Long Tian frowned. It would require a certain item to counter the side effects of Li Yue'er's special physique, and he didn't have it. In the original plot, even Qin Chen had a hard time acquiring it.

He stroked his chin, thinking about something.

And few seconds later, he suddenly had an idea. He immediately took out Qin Chen's jade from his spatial ring.

"I hope this works," he muttered.

With that, he brought the jade close to Li Yue'er, and something happened, the abundant reiki seemed to be absorbed by the jade.

Long Tian also felt his hand getting heavier, but he grinned. His idea seemed to work, the jade could absorb reiki.

Of course, his intention was not only to deal with the side effects of Li Yue'er's special physique, but also to bring the woman inside the jade to the surface.

Meanwhile, Qin Chen and Han Yuan were deep in the Tianzhou forest. They stood in front of a huge and wide cliff.

"Dead end? Does the map really lead here?" Han Yuan asked, frowning.

"I'm sure it's correct. The treasure should be here," Qin Chen replied, furrowed his brows.

"Let me see," Han Yuan said, taking the map.

He examined the map. And sure enough, it ended at this cliff. This image of a cliff looks a bit odd with something like a dot in the middle.

He continued to examine it and suddenly found something.

"Qin Chen, come here. It seems I've found something," Han Yuan said.

But there was no response from Qin Chen. Han Yuan looked ahead and saw that Qin Chen was touching the surface of the cliff. He quickly approached him.

"Hey, I found something that might lead to the treasure," he said.

But Qin Chen still didn't respond. He seemed to be focused on touching the surface of the cliff.

"Old Han, don't you think there's something strange about this crack?" Qin Chen asked, pointing at a crack on the cliff surface.

Han Yuan took a step forward and touched the crack, running his fingers over it.

"This is strange, this crack should not occur naturally. It's like someone hit it," Han Yuan said earnestly.

"And I think this crack is not an old crack. As if, cracked this day," he added.

Qin Chen's expression soured, "Impossible, has someone beaten us to it?" He guessed.

"We have to find out," Han Yuan said, looking ahead.

"Follow me," he added, walking along the crack on the cliff.

Qin Chen nodded and followed Han Yuan.

**********

After tracing the crack on the cliff, Qin Chen and Han Yuan stopped in front of a hole that looked like the entrance to a cave in the middle of the cliff.

"This should be where the treasure is, let's go inside," Qin Chen said and immediately ran inside.

Han Yuan followed from behind. However, he felt a bit strange entering this hole because of the pungent smell of corpses.

Meanwhile, Qin Chen was looking around, searching for the treasure.

His gaze suddenly fell on a patch of damp ground. He approached it and touched the soil.

He frowned, the soil felt like a lake that had been drained of its water.

"Did you find something?" Han Yuan asked.

Rising to his feet, Qin Chen reported gloomily, "I found nothing."

Han Yuan sighed, "I've also looked around and didn't find anything valuable. Qin Chen, it seems we're too late. Someone has gotten to it before us," he said earnestly.

Qin Chen clenched his fists, of course, he was very angry about this. He didn't expect someone else to have taken the treasure first.

He had spent 5000 Yuan which was enough for his living expenses for a month. But in the end, the treasure was taken earlier by someone else.

But at this moment, his gaze suddenly fell on something not far from him. It looked like a snack wrapper.

He approached it and saw what it was. It was gum wrapper.

There was nothing wrong with it, but Qin Chen's expression was incredulous, "Impossible..."
