Villain Cultivator

Chapter 575: Little Aunt of Xie Tian

'Your little aunt?'

It was confirmed that the elf boy before Miaomiao was 100% a girl. Moreover, she was a relative of Xie Tian.

Miaomiao laughed, "Alright. You, you, you, and you. You're hired!"

The immortals with high qualifications earlier were all chosen, including the elven girl.

Everyone congratulated the immortals, but they frowned at Tugu and Ta Dun. In their eyes, of the two had the qualification to earn this job.

As for the little girl, all rogue cultivators were skeptical about her qualification, but the initiates and deacons of the sect, their expression looked odd.

The immortal elf was surprised that she was chosen. She repeatedly bowed to Miaomiao, "I'm Xie Fan! Thank you for choosing me! I'll work hard!"

As soon as the elf revealed her name, the expression of deacons and initiates of the sect changed.

The Xie surname!

All signs indicated that she was a family member of Xie Qingtian!

"I see. No wonder he accepts her."

Everybody nodded. If it were them, they would have employed Xie Fan, too. After all, getting on the Xie Clan's good side was a must if one wanted to succeed in business here.

Miaomiao brought them into the stable to brief them about their jobs.

The three tamers were ȧssigned to guard the monster pit as they were the strongest among them. Tugu and Ta Dun were responsible for gathering cultivator corpses, junk, and garbage from other places to feed the centipedes.

The men left the building in enthusiasm. The tamers rushed to the centipedes to test their skills on them while Tugu and Ta Dun flew out of the city to gather corpses for the pets.

But one employee was idle.

"Umm, what should I do?" The tomboy, Xie Fan, stared at Miaomiao's face. She looked excited. 

'Master, you must never lay your hands on her.'

Miaomiao inwardly sighed. Even if Xie Tian never asked him, he would still never touch the loli.

He coughed, "You are a janitor. Go pick a bloom and clean this place."

"A janitor? I thought I had to work with the centipedes."

"The other guys have already taken the jobs. I only need you to tidy this place while I'm cultivating. Oh, don't bother me when I doze off or meditate. My cultivation method is unique. I get stronger after I get a good sleep."

"???"

Xie Fan tilted and looked at Miaomiao's face with bright innocent eyes. However, he noticed the mischievous light in her pupils and her faint smile.

This girl was suspicious. Just by looking at her, the SFX of a certain social deduction game sounded in Miaomiao's mind.

…

Isolated Training Space

Xie Tian reminded Miaomiao of the backgrounds of his little aunt.

"Xie Fan is our Xie Clan's hope and dream. In my previous timeline, she reached 35-Star Stellar Constellation Realm when she was 18. Even Adam almost took her in as his disciple. Unfortunately, Xie Fan had one flaw,"

Xie Tian pointed at Xie Fan's expression, "She's a backstabbing bitch. Don't trust her."

"I can tell," Miaomiao burst into laughter. He agreed with Xie Tian as many things about Xie Fan were fishy. 

Firstly, Xie Fan was the proud princess of the Xie Clan. In a sense, the clan should never allow her to come out of the sect's premise without permission. Yet, she showed up here alone.

Secondly, a pampered princess of a major clan, who was gifted with abnormal strength and talent, would never agree to work as a janitor in a poor stable. However, Xie Fan accepted Miaomiao's job unconditionally.

And lastly, which came from Miaomiao's experience, Xie Fan's gaze, her demeanor, and her body language indicated her self-confidence and her mischievous sides. People like this were often arrogant, outspoken, and stubborn. However, Xie Fan here was too cooperative and submissive.

Nothing about her suited the job.

Xie Tian continued to bad-mouth his little aunt, "Don't forget, master. In my timeline, Xie Fan always castrated men that she didn't like. She almost neutered me several times when I first visited Eden Garden. Even after I dealt with Xie Xuanyuan, Xie Fan sneaked into my room with a box of scissors and surgical knives!"

"…"

Miaomiao wanted to retort as he also saw the event. However, Xie Tian mistook packages of ċȯndȯms, which were stored inside a medical box, as a box of weaponry.

Because of envy, Miaomiao kept his mouth shut.

"Also, her bodyguards always follow Xie Fan around whenever she goes out to play. There should be a few clansmen around the stable. If you lay your hands on her now, they will kill you."

Miaomiao had already predicted it. He could even sense their divine sense inside the stable.

"What else?"

"She has no experience in sėx, but she pretends to have them."

"That's interesting. It would be fun to expose her."

"But the bodyguards will kill you."

"Welp, never mind."

"She's also good at stealing other people's secret techniques. She has an ability that she can copy any immortal-grade martial arts, combat experience, and secret techniques if she gets to see it once."

"Wait a minute. Shit. She's scary!"

Miaomiao changed his mind. From the last description, Xie Fan had the qualification to be a protagonist. She might even be a protagonist's love interest or a heroine.

"Just… be careful around her and restrain yourself, master."

"… I know."

…

Day 65

Several days had passed after Miaomiao had employed new employees.

Tugu and Ta Dun were smart. They started a small business together. By collecting garbage and random useless objects, they earned a few Adam Coins as a service fee. Then, they brought the garbage and collected junk to the centipede pit.

A tamer met an unfortunate end. He attempted to steal one of the centipedes, but he got eaten by the swarm. 

As for the third guy, he was safe as he was more honest than the two.

The third tamer's name was Shamoke. His brown skin and South-Eastern Asian features stood out from the usual light-skinned cultivators.

Shamoke was the guy with Nature Element. Unlike the other tamers, he didn't try to steal the centipedes or the secret. On the contrary, he enjoyed talking to the monsters.

SCREECH!

"What? I just gave you food?"

SCREECH!

"It tasted bad? Look, you shouldn't pick your food, or you will end up as a short ȧduŀt, okay?"

SCREECH!

"Well, fuċk you, too! I was born with this skin, you racist!"

The loud noise of Shamoke and the centipedes made Miaomiao laugh several times. He found them cute.

Everything worked out well for the remaining employees, except for Xie Fan.

After five days of tedious and boring duties, the princess finally snapped, "Boss, I'm bored. Can't you show me how you breed the centipedes?"

While meditating, Miaomiao shooed her, "I'm busy sleeping. Don't disturb me."

"But you have done nothing but sleep all day! I can't even sense that you get a tiny bit stronger!"

Miaomiao wanted to rebuke as he had been experimenting with Soul Qi from 4th-grade soul stones. However, one stone could only increase his lifespan by a day.

It was a waste of cultivation resources, and Miaomiao's mood was foul every time he thought about it.

Now that Xie Fan annoyed Miaomiao, his mood worsened.

"Little girl, cultivation doesn't have an immediate effect! Not everyone breakthroughs within a day or two."

"It means that you suck, boss."

"…"

"Come. Show me a few moves. I'm stronger than you, so I can give you guidance. You know, many candidates and initiates of the sect are willing to pay a thousand coins just to listen to my lecture for a few minutes. You should be honored that I'm offering you a lecture for free!"

Sometimes, Xie Fan's arrogance resurfaced, but Miaomiao pretended to not notice it.

Miaomiao patiently gave her an excuse, "I doubt I can learn anything from you. I also have less than 100 years to live, so I can't waste my time doing something useless."

"Bullshit! I heard you profited over 2 million years of lifespan a few days ago!"

"Language, Xie Fan."

"… Whoops," Xie Fan covered her mouth. She finally realized that she had revealed her true face.

But Miaomiao ignored it as usual, "It's true that I had over 2 million years of lifespan, but I already used them to get stronger. Now, I'm left with less than a hundred years."

Xie Fan narrowed her eyes. She knew that a few cultivation methods consumed the practitioner's lifespan, but all of them belonged to the evil path.

Currently, Miaomiao had the air of the orthodox path and the evil path. His natural bloodlust, dark air, and cold aura contested against his holy air, Life Essence, and warm feeling.

From Xie Fan's perspective, Miaomiao balanced his Yin Yang well. Yet, she couldn't figure out why Miaomiao couldn't ascend when he had so many 4th-grade soul stones to spend.

"Boss, tell me the truth. Are you cultivating something too difficult for you?"

"Why do you say so?"

"Talentless cultivators tend to pursue perfection and waste their time doing something unnecessary, such as trying to combine basic elements into a compound element. Sometimes, they try to complete their foundation with nothing but compound element continents."

The corner of Miaomiao's mouth twitched.

"Aha! You must be doing what I said, right?!"

Xie Fan was too smart for a little brat. Miaomiao opened his eyes and glared at her.

"So what?"

"Boss, you're stupid. You should have focused on only one compound element as a mortal. After that, you can search for a better cultivation method to reach the immortal realm. Once you can become something like… a 10-Star Stellar Constellation, you can combine basic starts into one compound element star and use them as your energy factory planet. That way, you won't waste all your lifespan for nothing."

It made sense since it came from the genius princess of the Xie Clan. However, Miaomiao couldn't use the same trick as he aimed for something higher.

"I'll think about it."

"You should! No, you must! At this rate, you'll run out of lifespan before I can learn your secrets!"

Xie Fan accidentally revealed her ulterior motive. Again, Miaomiao ignored it. He resumed meditating.

…

Isolated Training Space

Miaomiao had recently discovered something new about his dual-cultivation skill after he got Meowmeow's Dao.

Dual-cultivating with vampires or succubi always resulted in the losses of lifespan as they always stole it from him. However, if he dual-cultivated with dryads, dwarves, or humans, he could steal their lifespan!

Miaomiao consulted this matter with Kang Yan, Ma Xingjuan, and others. They also encouraged Miaomiao to take their lifespan since they didn't want Miaomiao to die too soon.

But Xu Chu was more creative. She wanted Miaomiao to dual-cultivate with the system's creations, aka the dryads and the dwarves.

Meowmeow was also helpful. He could see the remaining lifespan of the dryads and the dwarves, and he concurred with Xu Chu.

Weak dryad workers could live over 1,000 years, and they could live longer if they continued to work here. The dwarves also had the same life expectancy as the dryad workers, and they could live longer by absorbing Soul Qi from the mines or quarries.

As for the dryad warriors, their lifespans were 50,000 years on average, but it could be increased if they could drink sacred water or Life Essence water from the dantian space.

Miaomiao began his plan. As he waited for the centipedes to grow up first so that he could sell them for 10 years of lifespan each. While Miaomiao was waiting for them to become ȧduŀts, he had an orgy with the local dryads to borrow their lifespan.

Every sėxuȧŀ ɨntėrċȯursė netted him a day of lifespan. His dantian size also increased by a little.

Miaomiao returned to his original method of getting stronger: the Sex Method. It was tedious and arduous, but he got to enjoy the usual laidback life once again.

…

Day 90

A month had passed since Miaomiao had employed helpers.

Today, Miaomiao stopped cultivating and gathered his employees.

Ta Dun, Tugu, Shamoke, and Xie Fan were present. They smiled in glee as they expected their pay.

Miaomiao fulfilled the promise. Everybody got their 100 4th-grade soul stones.

Ta Dun and Shamoke laughed as they swaggered toward a local bar together, planning to have a party. Tugu rushed back to his residence to cultivate, using all the soul stones.

As for Xie Fan, she scoffed at the soul stones, but she pretended to be happy. Also, Xie Fan still acted like a man as usual.

Miaomiao had the urge to strip her nȧkėd to teach her a lesson, but he was afraid of hidden bodyguards. He restrained himself and visited the centipede pit to clear his perverted thoughts.

The centipedes grew well. Unlike the last batch, every centipede reached ȧduŀthood.

"I guess they are sellable now."

Miaomiao hummed. Had he sold them last month, he would have gotten only one million years of lifespan. But now, he could potentially earn 10 million years!

10 million years of lifespan should be enough to complete the Chrono Element Continent! Then, he could release Xie Tian to continue his storyline.

Without hesitation, he circulated his Qi to his vocal cord and made an announcement.

"Tomorrow, I will open my shop and sell another batch of immortal centipedes!"

…

Eden Garden Planet, Xie Clan Manor

Xie Xuanyuan had been observing Miaomiao by using a spy-camera artifact, which had been attached to Xie Fan's clothes. All feedback was broadcast to the orb in Xie Xuanyuan's hands. 

Xie Xuanyuan had sent Xie Fan to test Miaomiao. And the result was within his expectation.

Miaomiao was a man of secrets. He seemed to be cultivating a supreme technique that Xie Fan couldn't comprehend.

Since his daughter, who could copy any immortal-grade technique by looking at it once, couldn't even figure out what Miaomiao had been cultivating, Miaomiao's techniques might be something superior to the immortal-grade.

Xie Xuanyuan was excited to the point that he ignored Xie Qingtian's inside his dantian space. He couldn't wait to invite Miaomiao to his manor to rob his secrets.

"Send someone to fetch Xie Fan back here. She has done enough."

Xie Lian, who had been standing next to Xie Xuanyuan, laughed at his sister and father, "I doubt she will return after she gets to play outside."

"Drag her here if you must! I don't want someone to suddenly show up as my son-in-law!"

"Alright. Should I go there myself? I also want to buy one of those centipedes."

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Go."

Xie Lian nodded.. He vanished from the spot.
