Villain Cultivator Chapter 298

"What happened to my quests? Will I still get rewarded if I complete it?"

Quests affected Miaomiao's lifestyle and goals. Therefore, he was worried if the tie-severance might affect everything, including quests, system features, Wei Yuan's System, and ITS. After all, he had no idea if the nameless sponsor might have tampered or done something to the system.

[You will still need to complete it since it was enforced on me and father. The reward pools are still the same since that SOB has deposited them with me.]

[Also, I know what you're thinking. I can't cancel or edit the quest since the quest content, conditions, and rewards are encrypted with a dao signature. I can't unlock or decrypt it with my current authority strength.]

"So, I still have to get that Liu Bian, eh?"

[Yes, unfortunately.]

"Let me change the question," Miaomiao wondered if Dion might force him to do random tasks or continue hunting protagonists. "Do I still have to hunt protagonists in the future?"

[That depends on father. Do you still want to roam around and hunt every protagonist?]

"No."

[Then, you won't get similar quests. Everything depends on your desire, goals, conditions, and will. I'm different from God-generated quests that enforced tasks upon the system users. System-generated quests are like prayers. You pray that you want to do something, and you try to achieve it with your own strength. After you achieve your goal, a certain amount of luck will gather inside you, depending on the difficulty of that tasks. Then, I can convert luck power into a materialized object as quest rewards.]

That was a piece of good news, but the explanation sparked other concerns.

The Q&A went on…

Miaomiao didn't sleep the entire night. He still stared at the semi-transparent screen before him, reading Dion's messages.

"Can't you be a bit more lenient? I'm your father, you know?"

[For the sake of getting stronger and harvest more luck, we need to go through harsh quests to win the gamble. After all, quests work similarly as dao oath, but you can abuse it to gather luck from Heaven and Earth. This is the best method to awaken your 13th meridian and obtain natural resources. If you can even achieve something impossible, you will be able to generate Heavenly Fate Piece by yourself!]

Dion had revealed that she would be able to manipulate future quest contents and rewards as long as Miaomiao could free himself from the nameless sponsor's quests first. In short, Miaomiao had to either hunt Liu Bian or steal his Heavenly Fate Piece before he could become semi-independent.

He was still Lu Fengxian's apostle after all.

Still, Dion wanted the best for Miaomiao. She tried to convince him to let her generate high-difficulty quests for him in the future.

As Miaomiao and Dion debated, someone talked inside Miaomiao's head.

'Did you have fun talking with your system daughter all night? It's about time to head to the stadium. Also, do you have a grain pill on you?'

While Miaomiao and Dion were talking about their future, Lu Fengxian's voice resounded inside Miaomiao's head.

The voice transmission wasn't something new, but what alarmed Miaomiao was Lu Fengxian's words.

He knew about his system!?

CRAP!

HAD HE LEARNED ABOUT THE PROTAGONIST HUNTING QUESTS!?

Miaomiao was panicked. His face lost color, and he sweated a waterfall.

"Erm, Master Ding, did you hear what I talked with my system? Wait, do you understand the concept of the system!?"

'I can't see your system through our shared vision. But from the conversation that you've been talking to yourself all night, I can tell that you're a system user. For now, come to the stadium first, and we'll talk.'

Without saying or thinking anything, Miaomiao flew to the stadium and reunite with Jia Shan, Ma Ping, Ma Moxi, and the girls.

Xu Xiuying was also there, standing behind Ma Ping, smiling as if she was never a captive. Luo Cheng, Luo Song, and the other girls were nearby, keeping a distance away from Ding Bu and Miaomiao's party.

Ding Bu sat on the only couch in the VIP box room while everybody stood behind him.

"Good morning, Master Ding…"

Miaomiao entered the room and cupped his fist, reporting to Lu Fengxian as he had become the boss here.

"My real name is Lu Fengxian. Well, you can call me by this body's surname if you want to, but I prefer my real name."

"Understood, Master Lu."

"Anyway, have you settled things with your… luck?"

Lu Fengxian didn't mention Miaomiao's system in front of many people in the room, which Miaomiao appreciated.

"It clarified a few doubts, but I have a lot of questions in my mind."

"I know. Everybody always has a lot of questions when they first get to talk with their [Luck]. Well, I'll try to answer your questions if you have one. After all, I'm your master now."

Miaomiao didn't know whether he should be glad or sad. He had broken free from Silver Phoenix Sect and Xu Xiuying, but he ended up being chained by this protagonist.

Not everything went according to the plan.

"Can you see my [Luck]?" Miaomiao probed Lu Fengxian if he had learned something about his system.

"Ah, there were many people of your kind in the ancient past. I also met a handful of people with a similar [Luck]."

Both Miaomiao and Lu Fengxian used the codename instead of mentioning it as [System], which left everybody here confused.

"What are they like?"

Lu Fengxian closed his eyes as he reminiscing the time when he was in the immortal realms. Instead of answering Miaomiao's question, he changed the subject as if he didn't want to talk about them.

"Every a million genius cultivator, there will always be one or two [Luck] users. They convert their imagination and LUCK into a unique power that nobody can learn or steal from them. Well, I don't need to explain this point since you've probably named your [Luck] already."

Everyone sensed frustration in Lu Fengxian's tone, but nobody said anything.

Miaomiao nodded. That was the information that he had already knew. Still, he was surprised that other system users existed in the immortal realms.

"Dao Gods and Fate Gods always tricked newborn [Luck] users into becoming their vessels. You were tricked by one of them, and I freed you from their grasp. That's about it," Lu Fengxian paused for a moment before he realized that he had done a similar thing to the scamming Gods. He elaborated on why he was different than them.

"Don't get me wrong. I sincerely want to help you grow as a [Luck] user. As long as you have me as your master, no god can find you in this mortal world, even if they had the power of an ancestor god."

Strong Dao Gods could scan through the mortal worlds for potential system users. However, Lu Fengxian explained that he had blessed Miaomiao with his unique power, so nobody from god realms or immortal realms would be able to detect his power.

"I-I see."

"I know what your concern is, and I can swear by my dao oath that I meant no harm. Also, I can't see your [Luck], so you don't have to worry about a thing. I respect your privacy."

Miaomiao was relieved, but the other concern was also as important, "Then, next question, I happen to have an Oni wife and an Oni son. I know that you hate everyone from the race, but can you spare them?"

Lu Fengxian raised his eyebrows for a moment. Then, he smirked, "Nice job slapping Kishin Douji to the face. I bet he's mad at you for snatching one of the female Onis. Well, my enemies are Onis who pledge allegiance to Kishin Douji. I won't touch your wife and kid."

"… Thank you, master."

Miaomiao nodded and swiped his sweaty forehead. He felt that he could trust this protagonist for now. Unlike other nosy seniors, Lu Fengxian didn't bother interrogating him about his secrets, and Miaomiao respected that.

Moreover, Lu Fengxian didn't care about Wei Yuan - That alone earned Miaomiao's trust.

After making sure that Lu Fengxian didn't know about the protagonist hunting quest and his system's content, Miaomiao finally paid attention to his surroundings. Then, he discovered Ma Moxi's aura.

"Moxi? How did you…?"

Ma Moxi grinned and activated his new ability, Unlocking Heaven and Earth's Fortune. Strange flickering gold fireflies appeared around Ma Moxi and orbited around him.

A fake domain appeared around him. The range was five meters, but Miaomiao could sense gold element Qi from it.

It was an elemental domain, an advanced element domain at that!

In Ma Moxi's dantian, five seas of essence emitted the trace of five basic elements, fire, water, wood, metal, and earth. On top of Ma Moxi's seas of essence, a golden continent had already been established, and it continued to produce an endless amount of gold element essence.

Ma Moxi had broken through to the 5th-stage!

"Master Lu taught me a few tricks. I've surpassed you, boss."

"That because you ate the divine pill, you punk!"

"Hahaha! True. I promise, boss. I'll concoct a divine pill and pay you back when I'm strong enough."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be looking forward to it," Miaomiao rolled his eyes and shrugged it off since he didn't expect much from Ma Moxi's promise even though he was also another protagonist.

After checking Ma Moxi, Miaomiao also noticed the increase in strength of all seniors, including Ju Shoufen. Although it was subtle, Miaomiao could still sense another advanced element within Ju Shoufen's dantian.

Ku'er, in her humanoid form, was combing her three fluffy tails in glee. It seemed that this elemental fox girl was on the right path to becoming a nine-tailed fox in the future.

Xu Xiuying, on the other hand, seemed weaker than usual. Miaomiao couldn't feel her Qi or sense the dangerous pheromone from her body anymore.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Xiuying clicked her tongue and spat at Miaomiao's feet, thinking that he had mocked her with his look.

"I'm looking at my former mother. How has it been? How many poor humans have you killed since we last met?"

"Tsk!" Xu Xiuying clicked her tongue and looked away.

Miaomiao laughed. He stopped teasing his ex-mother and turned to Lu Fengxian again, "Master, what are you going to do with her?"

Lu Fengxian glanced at Xu Xiuying and her disciples. Then, he sighed, "If possible, I want to talk with Xu Lanying and Xu Huang. I don't know if Xu Huang is still in this mortal world, but she is the only clue I have at the moment. She is the only one who can contact Xu Chu."

Another famous historical character had been mentioned. In Miaomiao's world, Xu Huang was one of Cao Cao's Five Elite Generals. But in this world, it appeared that Xu Huang was also a part of the Xu Clan, and it was a SHE!

Miaomiao restrained his curiosity and his dick-brain. He hesitated if he should reveal to Lu Fengxian that Xu Chu got stuck in his dantian world.

Lu Fengxian revealed his idea to everyone, "I'm planning to establish a human-demon coalition against Oni and Yuan Hua. For that, we need the succubi alive to prove that we really want a truce. Also, we can't afford to lose more manpower since the Yuan Clan and Kishin Douji's influence is greater than you might have thought."

Ju Shoufen was interested, "How strong is Kishin Douji and Yuan Hua?"

Lu Fengxian's face darkened. He thought of the day when he was overwhelmed by the army of Kishin Douji and his generals.

Fending off against Kishin Douji's cannon fodders was easy, but dealing with this Oni God afterward was impossible.

Lu Fengxian needed an army to clear the path for him, so he could have a rematch against Kishin Douji once more. At the same time, he also needed strong allies, who could keep Kishin Douji's ally, aka Yuan Hua and her clan, at bay.

Demon Army fit the bill since her clan's strength and the demon alliance were on par. If only Lu Fengxian had the Wood Orc, OG-Buddha's Ogres, and the succubi's help, they might be able to topple the Yuan Clan and their allies.

Listening to Lu Fengxian plans, everyone didn't look impressed as the political struggle between immortals and gods was beyond their strength and understanding. Only Ju Shoufen and Miaomiao paid attention to Yuan Hua and Kishin Douji's threat.

"What will you ask Xu Chu when you meet her?" Miaomiao's curiosity got the best of him. His tongue slipped.

Lu Fengxian sighed, "I just want to apologize for my past deeds."

"What did you do to her? I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but I'm curious."

"Ah… You see," Lu Fengxian chuckled. "I told a devil about her weakness in exchange for a myth-grade life-saving talisman when I was running away from Kishin Douji's armies, Generals, and three Apostles. She voice-transmitted me and yelled into my head the day after, telling me that the devil was chasing after her because of me. I lost contact with her afterward, and I got killed a few weeks later."

Miaomiao had a pokerface. He stopped thinking, fearing that Lu Fengxian might discover his thought about Xu Chu.

Suddenly, Lu Fengxian widened his eyes and stared at Miaomiao in shock. Then, he sighed.

"Oh, well. Forget it. I won't ask how you got her, but tell her that I'm sorry."

Lu Fengxian read Miaomiao's mind. He knew!

"I'm sorry," Miaomiao lowered his head as he also realized his mistake.

Lu Fengxian shook his head again and bitterly laughed. He didn't seem mad, nor did he want to pursue Miaomiao's secret, "Don't apologize. It's not your fault if you accidentally have her inside you. It's probably that devil's fault."

Miaomiao squinted his eyes. He wondered if this DEVIL was his nameless sponsor, "May I ask who this devil is?"
