Chapter 6: Protagonist on the run!
“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. Ashen had just proposed to his love, how could he not be shocked?
He had agreed to live here only to get some alone time with Li Xiran, However, now it seemed like he had to attend her wedding with tears in his eyes.
While Yujin expressed his shock, Xiran, baffled by this sudden proposal, fell into deep thought as she pondered about what to answer.
Did she like Ashen?
Indeed, she liked how he was gentle with her, treated her well and complimented her.
But, did she love him?
No, atleast not yet.
However, before she had the chance to answer, Ashen burst into laughter: “Pfft… hahahhahaaa”
Wiping his tears, He said giggling: “I was just joking”
Thereafter, gradually Ashen’s laughter turned dim as a saddened expression revealed on Ashen’s countenance, He spoke in a low voice: “Why would You marry me when you have Yujin here?”
“Yujin is just my friend, we don’t have any other sort of relationship” Xiran clarified, standing up from her seat.
She had seen Yujin as just a friend and nothing more. However, this revelation hit Yujin in the face.
He had seen Xiran as his lover and thought that she felt the same way. He just considered her to be a little shy, however, he was confident that she would accept his love openly after some time.
“Oh sorry, I thought that you two were lovers” Ashen threw his final attack, peeking at Yujin’s expression from the corner of his eyes.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
…
Ashen received Numerous notifications from the System, however, ignoring them, he kept looking at Yujin.
This Protagonist, The one who is supposed to be overpowered and a chick magnet, had tears in his eyes as they flowed out of his eyes nonstop.
His state of mind had been shattered by Xiran’s statement as he tried to justify himself in his own twisted way:
“She has betrayed me. As I am poor and haven’t started cultivating, she has chosen to betray my love and chosen this Prince as her next target.
She must be thinking that he is richer and more powerful than me, He can provide her with a comfortable life.
You Bitch, Just wait, I will have my revenge on you and make this Prince, who you think is better than me, lick my feet as he would beg me for mercy.
I will make you regret making this choice!” Yujin roared in his mind, resolving to enact his revenge upon these two.
From his point of view, Xiran’s hesitation in rejecting Ashen’s marriage proposal as if she was considering to accept, had become a seed of doubt in his mind.
And now, She, stating him just a friend confirmed his doubt.
Now, he made up his mind to destroy both of their lives, who were laughing at him from his point of view.
From his perspective, he was in the right here, he was supposed to have her for him but now this Prince appears and takes her away.
Isn’t it his right to take revenge on this Prince?
Yujin made up his mind, muttering in a low voice: “I am not hungry so I will take my leave now”
He turned around as he left with tears in his eyes.
Xiran attempted to stop him, but she was stopped by Ashen as he grabbed her hand.
“Let me go! Yujin never eats this less. Something must have happened” She shouted as she tried to get out of Ashen’s grip, However, her efforts were futile.
Ashen was a Bone Transformation realm cultivator whereas she was no different than a mortal who hadn’t awakened her spirit. There was no way she could resist him.
Ashen shook his head with a solemn expression, he advised in a low voice: “Let him go, Give him some time, He needs it”
“But…” Xiran tried to retort but couldn’t find a reason to. Ashen’s words made sense to her.
Normally, Yujin would get better with time, therefore, she decided to adhere to Ashen’s advice and give Yujin some time.
She finished the dinner with a solemn expression, puzzled about the reason as to why Yujin behaved this way. Later, she left for her room leaving Ashen alone.
Ashen, leaving the dining hall, entered his room. He ordered the System to show him the notifications that he received at the dining table.
[Ding! Host, You have successfully affected Protagonist Han Yujin’s mentality. You are awarded with 500 Villain Points.]

[Ding! Host, You have succeeded in making Han Yujin hate Heroine Li Xiran. You obtain 8000 Villain Points]
[Ding! Host, Li Xiran is no longer considered a heroine. System is removing her Heroine status.]
Ashen’s eyes widened for some time before returning to their normal size, he asked: “What do you mean by removing heroine status? What difference did it make”
[Ding! Host, Li Xiran is now hated by the Protagonist, Therefore, her heroine status has been revoked. The difference it makes is that, Now, Even if you force yourself upon her, The world won’t trigger a backlash against you]
“What? The world can trigger a backlash against me? Why didn’t you inform me about it? What if I had forced myself upon Li Xiran without knowing this?”
[Ding! Host, Remember that I am The Villainous System and I act as a Villain!]
Ashen, remaining silent at this answer, he turned to the system, ordering: “Show me the status window”

Ashen observed the status Window before pondering upon something. He asked:
“Hey System! why is this Protagonist so weak and a simp? Aren’t Protagonists supposed to be super lucky with women? He couldn’t even make one woman fall for him”
Ashen, puzzled by Yujin’s behavior, asked the System about it. Although, he had played some schemes, However, wasn’t this too easy?
Xiran had never fallen in love with him so how was he supposed to try different tricks, She just accepted his advances.
[Ding! Host, Did you forget? The protagonist is supposed to be someone who is betrayed at first but then returns stronger to take his revenge and the world helps him in his quest by providing him with various opportunities]
Ashen nodded before speaking: “Yes that’s what I am sayi-” And that’s when his eyes opened wide as a realization dawned upon him.
[Ding! Host, What you are thinking is correct. Han Yujin’s journey has just begun and he will become stronger to defeat you]
Ashen rushed out of his room, calling Chen Jie to come in front of him.
Chen Jie, coming at the fastest pace he could manage, asked: “What is your Order Your Highness?”
Ashen, tension reflecting on his face, asked in a rushed voice: “Where is Han Yujin? Where is he?”
Ashen wanted to stop Han Yujin from ever getting the chance to become stronger. He wanted to turn him into his captive.
A confused expression appeared on Chen Jie’s face before he answered with a bow: “Your Highness, Didn’t you send him out?
He appeared at the mansion’s gate half an hour ago and informed the guards that you have ordered him to visit his village and call the villagers for the awakening ceremony”
Ashen’s eyes widened in realization as he muttered: “I am too late!”
