Chapter 5: Harvesting Villain Points!
"Does he swing in both directions?
Why would he want to live with a boy?" Yujin pondered, puzzled by Ashen\'s request.
However, A grin soon replaced his puzzled expression as a thought crossed his mind: "Wait! If I agree to it, Wouldn\'t that mean that I would be living with Xiran alone without the interference of these villagers? She would\'ve to rely on me as that would be a new place for her, hehe"
Scheming this, Yujin came forward as he showed a thumbs up, a smile hanging on his lips: "I agree!"
Watching Yujin agree this readily, Xiran approached him and held his hand, whispering into his ear: "What are you doing? Shouldn\'t we discuss about this with the villagers first?"
She was confused, why was Yujin ready all of a sudden? Was he this greedy? First, he broke their promise for 10 gold coins, and Now, he wants to live in a palace!
She associated his excitement to live with Ashen with his greediness.
Yujin, turning toward Xiran, seized her shoulders, coercing her: "We are doing this for the Villagers, Sister Xiran. They will definitely appreciate our actions"
Xiran nodded in understanding, However, she had doubts about his reasons.
"Alright then, Let\'s leave right now!" Ashen chipped in, clapping his hands together with an excited smile.
They left this spot, approaching the Village head, They informed him about their deal.
He was happy to agree to this as it ensured that they wouldn\'t be deceived.
Thereafter, the three of them entered the carriage, leaving for Ashen\'s private mansion.
All the royal princes were provided with their Private mansions around the capital. Therefore, Ashen naturally had one.
The journey was smooth, the terrain was easy to traverse. Ashen sat beside Xiran while Yujin sat in the seat facing them.
Yujin had tried to make Xiran sit with him, However, Ashen insisted on wanting to talk to her in private.
Ashen held her hand gently, conversing with her, informing her about the capital\'s vastness. Xiran quickly became interested in his sweet talks. She didn\'t notice Ashen\'s caresses on her hand, however, Yujin paid full attention to Ashen\'s actions, gritting his teeth in anger and jealousy.
[Ding! Host, You have successfully made the protagonist hate you as a villain in his life. He now considers you as the most hateful villain in his life. You receive 300 Villain Points.]
[Ding! Host, The protagonist curses you for touching Heroine Xiran. You obtain 200 Villain Points]
Similar to this, Ashen received multiple messages from the system throughout their ride. Ashen laughed inwardly, Peeking at Yujin\'s furious face from the corner of his eye every now and then.
In this manner, The chariot finally arrived at Ashen\'s Private mansion, and he lets go of Xiran\'s hand. She stepped off the chariot, her eyes widening at the sight of this large and beautiful mansion.
Nestled within impeccably manicured gardens, the mansion stood as a symbol of power and prestige. A grand entrance adorned with intricate carvings led to a majestic foyer, where a colossal chandelier dangled from the high ceiling, casting a warm and luminous glow over marble floors.
The architecture of the mansion blended classical elegance with imperial grandeur. The exterior, constructed from the finest materials, gleamed in the sunlight, reflecting the wealth and influence of the imperial family.
The maids dressed in long maid dresses, having a flower carving welcomed them. An Old man with a long white beard, and white hair, a bit on the fatty side, came running out of the entrance.
He stopped near Ashen bowing, He greeted: "Welcome Your Highness!"
This old man was Chen Jie, A subordinate of Ashen\'s mother, Shang Celine.
Ashen assessed this old man before nodding, He ordered domineeringly: "Prepare the rooms for these two in the mansion, They will stay with us from now on"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Chen Jie bowed, leaving the way for Ashen as he pointed towards the entrance.
Ashen left for his room, Leaving Xiran and Yujin with Chen Jie. He would arrange rooms for them.
Ashen\'s room...
Ashen stared at his status window, observing the Villain Points he gained from the ride.

In this world, there were eleven ranks of cultivation.

~ Body Transformation realm.
~ Nascent Soul realm.
~ Origin realm.
~ Core Formation realm.
~ King Realm.
~ Emperor realm.
~ Dominion realm.
~ Saint realm.
~ Immortal Realm.
~ Transcendent Realm.
In all the empires, The highest known stage was the Dominion stage, at which you could control a domain and Each of the empires only had one of them Protecting them from the shadows.
Fang Ashen\'s father, The Emperor was an Emperor realm cultivator.
Dominion realm cultivators rarely made a move as they were busy in close cultivation. They all desired to reach the next legendary realm.
Therefore, Ashen\'s goal was to become an Emperor realm cultivator first.
However, he was at the spirit transformation stage right now. Any cultivator who had awakened their spirit could advance to this stage, starting their cultivation journey
Ashen, After a long time of contemplation, asked: "How many points do I need to advance to the Body Transformation realm now?"
Previously, he required 500 points to Advance, However, now that his spirit has evolved into a 2-star spirit, he was curious to know the change.
[Ding! The Host requires 300 Villain Points to advance to Body Transformation Realm].
Ashen nodded, ordering: "Do it!"
The moment he said this, he started to feel his bones crack, An excruciating pain filled his entire body.
Aaarrrgggghhhh...
He fell to the ground, screaming in pain. The system placed a sound barrier around him to not let anyone hear him.
Ashen felt every bone in his body, Break before joining once again stronger than before. This process repeated innumerable times as 2 hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Ashen felt the pain leaving his body, However, he was not in the mood to celebrate.
[Ding! Congratulations Host on Advancing to the Bone Transformation realm]
Ashen was jolted awake from the pain by the System\'s voice. He stood up from the ground, asking curiously: "How many points do I require to Advance to Nascent Soul Realm?]
[Ding! The Host requires 4000 Villain Points To advance]
Ashen\'s eyes widened slightly before returning to their normal size, He had expected this much increase in the amount.
He commanded firmly: "Recommend me an attacking skill for the bone transformation realm"
[Ding! Host, With the amount of points available, The best skill would be martial fist worth 1000 Villain points.]
"Alright, Purchase it" Ashen ordered.
Adhering to his command, System transmitted the information about the skill into Ashen\'s mind.
[Ding! The Host has learned Martial fist to mastery level 1]
Ashen, ignoring the system, approached a wall, striking it without using the skill.
strike!
The fist connected but nothing extraordinary occurred as the wall remained as it was.
Next, Ashen, using the Martial fist, prepared to strike the wall.
His bones hardened, and his spirit\'s power flowed into his fist as a python\'s mouth silhouette appeared in an ethereal form around his fist.
Boom!
He attacked the wall, a loud sound echoed before cracks began to appear on the wall as some debris fell off to the ground.
One thing to note was that this mansion was made from imperial concrete, It wouldn\'t shake even under an earthquake, and even a bulldozer would fail to scratch it, and now, Ashen was able to make cracks appear on it.
Honestly, he hadn\'t expected anything to happen to the wall, but this was something extraordinary.
He turned towards the system with a baffled expression, asking: "W-what is the rank of this skill?"
[Ding! Host, this is a low heaven grade skill]
"What?" Ashen shouted in surprise. Low heaven-grade skill was worth millions of gold in the market. Even as a royal Prince, it would be difficult to find a skill of this level and it was only worth 1000 Villain points.
However, Ashen soon returned to his normal calm demeanor.
He decided to extort some more points from this protagonist who lived next door, He left his room, ordering Chen Jie to call everyone for dinner.
At the dinner table...
"Oh, Xiren you look so beautiful in this dress!" Ashen complimented, a gentle smile on his face.
A blush appeared on Xiren\'s face as she tried to hide it, While Yujin cursed his luck: "Here he goes again. How is he so smooth at flirting? This Bastard doesn\'t even leave a chance for me"
Yujin was also going to compliment her but Ashen took the lead by going ahead with his compliment.
Next, Ashen, gazing into Xiren\'s beautiful eyes, sighed asking: "Sigh, When will I get to have a beautiful wife like you?"
Xiren\'s already red cheeks turned even more red, she held her head down while hiding her Flushed expression. On the other hand, Yujin gritted his teeth while clenching his fists under the table.
Ashen received multiple messages from the system. Ignoring them, he kept his focus on gaining more points.
Then, he acted as if he was jolted awake as a realization dawned upon him. His eyes shined with excitement as he held Xiran\'s hands between his, staring deep into her eyes, he asked softly: "Why don\'t you become my wife?"
"W-What?" Yujin shouted loudly, standing up straight from his seat, his eyes widened in shock and anger.
