Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 29: Lin Feng’s Doubts About Life



"Indeed, he has been cured."

"However, I merely diagnosed President Du Bailei's condition and proposed a treatment plan."

"In truth, it was Young Master Jiang Chen who healed President Du Bailei."

"Without him providing the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss, I would have been utterly powerless in treating this ailment."

Qiu Liaoxi nodded assertively, attributing all the credit to Jiang Chen without claiming any for herself.

"No, no, I cannot accept all the praise."

Jiang Chen promptly responded with humility, "Without Alchemist Qiu's expertise, I wouldn't have known that such a thing could cure illnesses..."

As they observed Qiu Liaoxi and Jiang Chen graciously deflecting the credit to one another,

Lin Feng's heart was suddenly overwhelmed by a profound emotion, caught in his throat and inexpressible.

'Jiang Chen!!'

'It's him again!'

'He actually possesses the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss, how is that possible!'

'First, the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill, and now the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss. Both are exceedingly rare treasures. How did he manage to acquire these items!'

'That accursed Jiang Chen! Without him, not only could I have healed President Du, but I could also have utilized the Swallowing Body Snatching Soul Grass to nurture the Burning World Red Lotus!'

'But now... everything is lost!!'

Lin Feng's fury swelled within his heart, akin to a tempestuous sea that nearly shattered his emotional restraint, almost causing him to erupt with emotions on the spot!

Yet, he was aware that if he succumbed to his anger, his image in the eyes of his master and Ning Xian would deteriorate even further.

In the end,

Lin Feng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and resolutely swallowed his rage.

However,

After several setbacks, all of which were caused by Jiang Chen's "unintentional" actions, he couldn't even find a reason to blame Jiang Chen.

Lin Feng truly began to question the meaning of his life...

[Ding! You have successfully damaged the protagonist Lin Feng's mental state, reducing his Heavenly Fate Value by 100 points!]

[Ding! You have gained 200 points of Villain Value!!]

Two notifications abruptly resounded in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Huh?"

"I've affected his mental state. It seems the impact on him was quite significant this time. Hehe!"

Jiang Chen chuckled to himself.

Shortly after,

While he continued to laugh and deflect credit to Qiu Liaoxi, he also employed the Villain's Eye on Lin Feng.

[Name: Lin Feng

Realm: Middle-stage Soul Refining

Status: Protagonist

Heavenly Fate Value: 3280/3280]

"Only a little over three thousand remaining!"

"I've already diminished Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate Value by nearly half, and I'm drawing closer and closer to being able to eliminate him!"

"Additionally, the reduction in Heavenly Fate Value should weaken his protagonist status, right? I might be able to test that theory..."

Jiang Chen pondered to himself, and then inspected his Villain Value.

After exchanging for the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss, he retained a Villain Value balance of 2100 points!

With this amount, he could procure cultivation methods and secret arts for the Heavenly Origin realm. Even ordinary Heavenly Origin realm treasures would pose no issue!

At that moment,

"Jiang Chen, don't be so modest."

"You undoubtedly deserve more recognition for being able to cure President Du's illness!"

Ning Xian's clear voice interrupted Qiu Liaoxi and Jiang Chen.

"Yes, yes, that's correct!"

Qiu Liaoxi promptly concurred.

"Well, alright then..."

Jiang Chen grinned sheepishly and nodded.

Off to the side, Lin Feng's dissatisfaction only intensified.

Just then,

"The Trade Fair is about to commence."

Du Bailei smiled and suggested, "Why don't you all join me? What do you think?"

"Excellent!"

Jiang Chen laughed heartily and extended his right hand, "Please!"

"Please!"

Du Bailei reciprocated the gesture.

Shortly after,

Jiang Chen and Du Bailei engaged in friendly conversation as they proceeded towards the location where the Trade Fair was taking place.

Before long,

They arrived at the site of the Trade Fair and fortuitously encountered Jiang Xingtai along with a group of White Mountain Chamber of Commerce executives.

"President!"

"President, you're alright!"

"That's wonderful, the aftereffects of the president's Qi Deviation have been cured!"

"From now on, the president will no longer suffer from the affliction of illness!"

"..."

The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce executives were tremendously excited and concerned upon seeing Du Bailei, greeting him with zeal.

Having learned from the Vice President that Du Bailei's 'aftereffects' had been cured, they had all been eagerly anticipating the chance to see him as soon as possible.

So, when they finally encountered him, how could they not be overjoyed?

"Hahaha!"

"I have indeed made a full recovery."

"All of this is thanks to our young friend Jiang Chen and Alchemist Qiu Liaoxi!"

Du Bailei laughed heartily, drawing attention to Jiang Chen and Qiu Liaoxi for everyone present.

"I see!"

"Many thanks to young friend Jiang Chen and Alchemist Qiu Liaoxi!"

"Your immense kindness will forever be remembered by us!"

"The president's benevolence towards me is as profound as a mountain, and his benefactors are my benefactors!"

"..."

The high-level cultivators of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce expressed their gratitude to Jiang Chen and Qiu Liaoxi with respectful bows.

Observing this, Lin Feng's irritation intensified.

Suddenly,

"Nephew Jiang Chen!!"

"Why are you with President Du Bailei? And you even cured his aftereffects!?"

Jiang Xingtai exclaimed in astonishment, as if he was unaware of Jiang Chen's journey to treat President Du Bailei's illness.

Such top-notch acting skills!

"Second Uncle!"

"You're here as well!"

Upon spotting Jiang Xingtai, Jiang Chen immediately displayed a warm smile.

Then, Jiang Chen briefly recounted the situation to Jiang Xingtai, who expressed amazement and lavished praise upon him repeatedly.

The other cultivators naturally chimed in and extolled him one after another as well!

They lauded Jiang Chen as a divine physician possessing extraordinary medical skills, a young hero, and a heaven-sent prodigy... they praised him with every accolade they could conceive of.

All of a sudden,

Jiang Chen unexpectedly found himself at the center of attention, drawing the gazes of everyone nearby.

Off to the side, Lin Feng couldn't help feeling somewhat bitter as he observed the gratitude the people from the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce expressed towards Jiang Chen and the shower of praise he received from everyone.

At this time,

"Everyone!"

"Young friend Jiang Chen, along with Alchemist Qiu Dan and Miss Ning Xian, have cured my longstanding ailment."

Suddenly, Du Bailei spoke up, "To express my gratitude, I've decided to cover the cost of any three treasures that anyone desires at the trade fair, regardless of their value!"

Upon hearing these words,

The crowd couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment!

This was indeed a generous offer!

"No, no, no!"

"I appreciate the gesture, but I cannot accept this!"

Jiang Chen persistently declined the offer.

However, as Du Bailei was resolute in his decision, Jiang Chen ultimately had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Immediately afterward,

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere grew even more lively.

However, Lin Feng stood there feeling like an outsider. He couldn't help but sense that the liveliness around him didn't pertain to him.

"Master,"

"I've gained some insights in my cultivation and plan to seize this opportunity to practice and improve myself. I'll take my leave now."

Lin Feng interjected and addressed Qiu Liaoxi.

"Alright."

Qiu Liaoxi knew that Lin Feng was feeling disheartened, so she didn't pressure him to stay.

"Okay."

Lin Feng then turned to Ning Xian and said, "Ning Xian, why don't you come back with me?"

He felt a twinge of melancholy in his heart.

He yearned to find someone to confide in.

As Ning Xian and Lin Feng were fellow disciples, she wasn't inclined to refuse. She was prepared to agree.

However, how could Jiang Chen let Lin Feng have his way?

"Lin Feng!"

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Chen leaned toward Lin Feng and winked at him, "Each of us, including me, Ning Xian, and your master, can select at least one treasure to be paid for by President Du. So why would you ask Ning Xian to leave?"
