Fantasy: Sign-in From The Womb, Born As A Major Antagonist

Fallen Maple Palace!

Ji Xiu decided to open the task system that he had been longing for.

After all, he only needed 5000 Destiny Points to activate [Demonic Advent].

And completing tasks to earn Essence of Destiny was a good choice.

[Ding! Task system loaded. Would the host like to activate the system at this moment?]

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu nodded without hesitation.

[Ding! Task system activated!]

Ji Xiu felt a shock in his head and immediately saw a virtual task screen in front of him.

He noticed that this newly opened task system was divided into two task lists: bounty tasks and active tasks.

Bounty tasks were tasks issued by the system.

Active tasks were tasks that one could actively take on.

At this moment, Ji Xiu noticed that the bounty task list was empty.

This meant that the system had not actively issued any bounty tasks.

Fortunately, there was a task listed in the active task list.

[Active Task: {Spirit Clan Girl}]

[Task Description: Rescue Gu Yao, the Spirit Clan girl who is imprisoned in the Dark Arena and has become a gladiator.]

[Task Location: Northern Xia Dynasty, Dark Arena in the capital!]

[Task Reward: 6300 Essence of Destiny.]

[Task Deadline: None]

"Spirit Clan Girl!"

"Gu Yao!"

Seeing this familiar name, Ji Xiu couldn't help but smile playfully.

In the novel, Gu Yao was the future Empress of the Spirit Clan and a peerless genius in both magic and martial arts!

"She saved the crumbling Spirit Clan, turned it into the number one royal family in Tianxuan, and prevented the collapse of the Spirit Clan."

"With a single sword, she wiped out an ancient demonic dynasty."

"On the battlefield of gods and demons, she chanted forbidden spells, causing stars to fall and millions of demon soldiers to perish in an instant."

"She is the most talented woman in thousands of years, the moonlight of countless righteous geniuses on the continent, extremely stunning and dazzling!"

"Most importantly, she is the only best friend of the female protagonist, Mu Bing."

Ji Xiu stroked his chin.

Recalling the setting of Gu Yao, the Spirit Clan girl, in his mind, his excitement grew.

"Gu Yao!"

"The future Empress of the Spirit Clan!"

"Mu Bing's only best friend!"

"One of the most powerful enemies in the future!"

"If I can make her mine..."

"My future path will be much smoother!"

Ji Xiu murmured to himself, his mind filled with ambitious plans, and his smile became even brighter.

His thoughts stopped there.

Without hesitation, Ji Xiu chose to accept this task.

[Ding! System prompt, task accepted successfully!]

[Ding! System prompt, task {Spirit Clan Girl} officially started.]

Hearing the crisp sound of the system prompt in his ears, Ji Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

About Gu Yao.

Her past in the novel was a mystery.

Even her best friend, Mu Bing, didn't know much about her.

So, Mu Bing should be unaware of Gu Yao's time in the Dark Arena as a young girl.

He should make the most of his time now!

Gather as much money as possible to go to the Dark Arena!

But where would the money come from?

Just as Ji Xiu's thoughts were wandering...

Familiar footsteps could be heard outside the palace.

Ji Xiu's heart leaped with joy, thinking that his benefactor had arrived!

He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Clang!

The palace door opened.

Grandmother Mu Hua walked in with her hands behind her back and looked at Ji Xiu, who was lying on the bed, and said in a displeased tone, "Little brat!"

"Grandmother is here!"

"Do you still want to pretend to be asleep?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu smiled helplessly and then had to open his eyes and reach out his hand to Mu Hua, speaking in a childish voice, "Grandmother, carry me!"

Seeing Ji Xiu acting like this, you...

Mu Hua couldn't hold back her laughter.

Then, she picked up Ji Xiu and asked with a smile, "Little brat, is your butt still hurting?"

Hmm!

Ji Xiu nodded heavily and complained to his grandmother in a pitiful voice, "It hurts!"

"Mother hit me really hard!"

He wasn't lying about this.

If it were any other child, their butt would have been bruised from being beaten by their own mother.

"Stop it!"

"We're both powerful Life Soil realm cultivators!"

"A few hits like this don't count for anything!"

Mu Hua mercilessly exposed Ji Xiu's lie.

However, there was a sense of pride in her eyes.

Observing over the past few years, she increasingly felt that her grandson's talent was even more terrifying than she had anticipated.

Heh heh!

Ji Xiu scratched his head apologetically.

He had never hidden his cultivation level from his family.

So it was normal for his grandmother, Mu Hua, to sense his cultivation level.

"Grandmother!"

"Haven't seen you in seven days."

"Xiu'er missed you!"

Ji Xiu acted spoiled as he hugged Mu Hua, his big eyes full of mischief.

He was laying the groundwork for his upcoming plan to ask for money.

"Speak!"

"What do you want, kid?"

Mu Hua asked with a smile.

She knew Ji Xiu too well.

So, she naturally knew that Ji Xiu had a request for her.

"Gold coins!"

"A lot of gold coins!"

Ji Xiu smiled and spoke.

"Why do you need gold coins?"

Mu Hua was somewhat surprised.

Hmm...

Ji Xiu remained silent for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.

"Grandmother!"

"Xiu'er wants to go to the Dark Arena!"

So that's it!

Mu Hua nodded.

That wasn't surprising.

Many privileged children in Kyoto would go to the Dark Arena to buy potential gladiators and train them as their own death warriors.

She didn't think it was a big deal.

Her only concern was her grandson's safety.

After all, the Dark Arena in Kyoto was a chaotic place that was difficult to control.

However, after careful consideration, Mu Hua had already come up with a plan.

Then, she took out a black card and placed it in Ji Xiu's hand.

"Xiu'er!"

"There's one billion gold coins in here."

"If you're going to buy, buy the best quality gladiator!"

"Let grandmother see your judgment!"

"It's also a chance for you to practice!"

Mu Hua rubbed Ji Xiu's nose affectionately.

One billion!

Ji Xiu was shocked.

He had thought it was already good enough for his grandmother to give him a seven-figure sum of gold coins when he was three years old.

But who would have thought that his grandmother would give him one billion right off the bat?!

At this moment, Ji Xiu couldn't help but feel clichéd in his heart and sighed.

"My grandmother is really rich!"

It should be noted that there were not many clans in the Northern Xia Dynasty that could produce one billion gold coins.

But there was only the Ji Family that would give one billion to a three-year-old child for practice!

"Grandmother is mighty!"

Ji Xiu excitedly kissed Mu Hua's face, causing her to burst into laughter.

"Xiu'er!"

"Grandmother allows you to go to the Dark Arena!"

"But you can't go alone."

"Grandmother will find someone to accompany you."

Mu Hua said.

An old man dressed in black walked into the Fallen Maple Palace from the deep night.

The old man had an ordinary appearance, the kind that would go unnoticed in a crowd.

But he exuded a cold aura and an indescribable sense of oppression that was very real!

Not only that, Ji Xiu, who could sense Transcendence, seemed to smell the strong scent of blood on him!

This kind of blood scent was terrifying, as if it had been honed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

"Monarch Grade expert!"

"Definitely a Monarch Grade expert!"

"And also an assassin!"

Ji Xiu was shocked.

This old man had a high cultivation level.

Even stronger than his own parents.

And he guessed that the old man specialized in killing and used to be an assassin!

"Who is he?"

Ji Xiu curiously asked.

"Introduce him."

"He will be the steward of Fallen Maple Palace in the future!"

"Just call him Old Wei!"

Mu Hua smiled and spoke.

After that, the old man in black bowed respectfully to Ji Xiu and said,

"Old servant Wei Qin, greetings to the young prince!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu raised an eyebrow.

He thought to himself, "A Monarch Rank assassin guard, quite interesting!"
