《Life of a Villain》Chapter 19: Life of a Villain
Advertisement
When people in the city saw a luxurious carriage approaching, they stepped aside to make way.
Inside the carriage, a devilishly handsome man was lost in his thoughts, gazing out the window. But he was jolted back to reality when he heard a voice in his head.
“What happened there?”
“It’s don’t know, but when I looked at that man, I suddenly felt the urge to kill him. I even lost control of the power? Is it possible that he was Fang Yan?” Andy mumbled as he stared out the window.
Demon Lord was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s possible since he’s on the same path as an emperor, and there can only be one. But the one thing you must remember is that you cannot lose control again. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if someone finds out you have that blood running through you, they’ll go to any length to kill you.”
Andy sighed and took a deep breath. Suddenly, a fist-sized broken sphere appeared in his hand. As he clutched it tightly as soon as it appeared. He can’t help but remember the day he was given the storage space and the Demon Lord asked him to take out the sphere.
He was totally shocked when he learned about the sphere. The Demon Lord called it the sphere of time, and he found it in an ancient ruin.
And he was shocked because he had read in the book that Fang Yan had got the same broken sphere in the realm, which was also one reason why he grew so strong in such a short period.
It was also for this reason that the Demon Lord was baffled when he read his memory. Demon Lord searched his entire life but could not track down the second half of the sphere. He did not know that the other part was in the lower world.

Even without the other half, the sphere can slow down time by five times. What would happen if he found the second half of the sphere?
His heart raced as his gaze was fixed on the broken sphere. This was also why he was rushing to get to Floating Valley City. He really could not let Fang Yan find the sphere.
“Even if you find the other half, don’t get too relaxed. It was his destiny to get the other part, but you’re interfering with it. Destiny would find a way to help him grow stronger.” The Demon Lord’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
“I understand,” Andy mumbled, his gaze still fixed on the broken sphere.
After a while, he sighed, and the sphere vanished from his hand as he peered out of the window.
“So, what are your plans? Do you plan to remain in the sect after you visit that realm? I don’t believe you’d need their low-quality resources,” Demon Lord’s voice echoed in his mind.
He mumbled as he peered out the window. “You should have seen how I lived my life on Earth, and you should have also seen this boy’s memory. Do you think I’d want to live a boring, lonely life? Why not make it exciting? If heaven has made me a villain, I will live as a villain should. I’m going to steal everything that should have belonged to Fang Yan. Even those girls.”
The Demon Lord, who was floating around in a dull, colorful sea, was stunned for a moment before bursting out laughing. “It’s interesting; I’d like how a villain’s life should be. Even I could see some excitement before leaving this world.”
But the Demon Lord’s tone became solemn. “But don’t die like a stupid villain. I don’t want to see my heir become arrogant because he believes he is the strongest. Do whatever you want, but don’t neglect your cultivation. Always remember the oath you took.”

Andy shook his head as he heard the Demon Lord’s words and said, “Do you really think I’d slack off on cultivation after knowing me for so long? Whatever the case may be, to live the life of a villain, I must be powerful, and in order to be powerful, I must cultivate.”
“That’s great that you understand. Now that you’ve mentioned the girls, I’ve noticed some potential seedlings. It’d be fascinating if they become your companion.” The Demon Lord’s voice echoed in his mind once more.
Andy nodded when he heard those words. He had read in the book that almost all of those girls went on to become very powerful figures later in the novel and helped Fang Yan a lot on his journey. It would be interesting to see how they interact in real life.
“How about your family in that city?” Demon Lord asked
“Lu An died after jumping off the cliff of the Mountain of Abyss. They even received compensation from the Phoenix Pavillion. There is no more Lu An in this world. There is only Di An,“ Andy mumbled as he looked out the window.
“What the hell was that? Di An? Did you really put in any effort to come up with that name?” Demon Lord’s surprised voice echoed in his mind once more.
“Can’t you see what a noble name it is?” Andy retorted as he took out the sphere once more.
The Demon Lord gaped upon hearing those words, he was surprised at his shamelessness. He finally sighed and murmured, “Let him be.”
While Andy closed his eyes, time seemed to slow down around him as he continued his cultivation.
One month has passed since Andy left Flower City. On this particular day, the luxurious carriage of the Phoenix Pavilion entered the Floating Valley City. When the crowd saw this, they made the way to the carriage. However, many of them were not surprised, as the sect’s gathering is just around the corner, and many high-profile families have arrived in the city.
A tall young man in a luxurious black robe, with waist-length whitish silvery hair and a mask covering half of his face, stepped out of the carriage as it came to a halt in front of the Phoenix Pavilion. While his blue eyes, which could be seen through the mask, looked around for something.
His gaze was finally drawn to the woman approaching him with a smile on her face.
As the woman approached the man who had just stepped out of the carriage, her heartbeat sped up as she saw the man in front of her. Even though the man was wearing the mask, she knew he would be extremely handsome since her gaze was fixed on the remaining half of his face. For some unknown reason, she sensed a mysteriousness from the man in front of her, which drew her in.
“May I know the name of the Young Master?” she asked politely as she stood in front of him.
As she stared at the man in front of her, a soft voice reached her ears.

A Ten Pound Bag
A serial saga with short chapters published each and every morning to read over your coffee or tea. This is a "versus life" story with no great evil to face just life in a hard place during a hard time. Our hero and his companions get catapulted back in time and must find a way to not only survive but prosper. This story is definitely "R" rated maybe even NC-17 but don't expect explosions, blood and orgasms at every page turn. Bad words and uncomfortable topics are addressed in this story, this is not for every reader. This is a technical story and develops slowly at first, full technical details, maps and research are available over on Patreon. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I am. -Emmeran
