I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

At that time, *Phoenix City Lord's Mansion*

When Phoenix City Lord Mu Aotian heard that the demon beast had been eliminated by Yuan Chu and others, he couldn't help but burst into tears. This was truly good news that made the people of the whole city celebrate.

He then ordered a grand banquet to thank the immortal who had saved the people of the city.

So when Yuanchu returned to the city, he saw this scene. The people lined the streets to greet him, shouting, "Thank you for saving my life, thank you for saving my life."

The streets were crowded with people, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Yuanchu had only seen this kind of scene on TV, and he sighed in his heart, saying to the system: "This is such a big scene."

Yuanchu remembered that when she came to this city before, there was no one on the streets, like a deserted city.

Now it seems that they had found a place to hide before, but now that the evil beast has been eliminated, there are now a lot of people coming and going.

"Ordinary people are the most kindhearted. You have eradicated the monsters and saved them from danger. Naturally, they are grateful to you, the host."

From a distance, someone could be heard shouting: "The Immortal Envoy and the other cultivators are back. The Immortal Envoy and the other cultivators are back."

City Lord Mu Aotian personally greeted them at the other end of the street. When he saw Yuanchu and the others approaching, he bowed and said:

"Thank you, Envoy Yuanxian, for eliminating the evil beasts for the people of the city and bringing peace to the people of the city. I, Mu, would like to thank Envoy Yuanxian on behalf of the people of the city." As he said this, he was about to kneel down in front of her.

When Yuan Chu saw this, he was shocked and immediately raised his hand to support Mu Aotian, and asked the lord of the city to kneel before him.

She doesn’t want to shorten her life, she just wants to live a few more years.

It was just a waste of time and energy to deal with a wild and ferocious beast, so it was not necessary, and she was not seriously injured.

Although she is not a saint and does not have the lofty ambition to save all living beings, she is very happy and proud in her heart to be able to save the people and to see so many people smile again because of her.

Yuanchu helped Mu Aotian up and said, "Lord Mu, there is no need to do this. I just did what I could for the people. I don't deserve such a great gift."

Mu Aotian sighed, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Yuan Immortal Envoy has come all the way to Phoenix City to help me eradicate the monsters and bring peace to the people of my city. He deserves my respect."

As he said this, he bowed to her, and Yuanchu immediately helped him up.

Mu Aotian stood up, looked at the monks again, and said with a cupped hand: "Thank you all for coming from afar to help."

“Lord Mu, you are too kind. It is our honor to be entrusted by Lord Mu to eradicate evil.” Several people responded with a salute.

"Mu has already prepared a banquet in my house, please come and join us." Mu Aotian said to everyone with a smile.

When Yuan Chu heard this, he was startled, because he had a little disciple at home who was left behind by him to participate in the competition alone.

She had originally planned to deal with this matter and return to the sect as soon as possible.

She thought for a moment, and said: "Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Mu, but I have important matters to attend to, so I need to return to the mountain as soon as possible."

"Why don't you rest in the City Lord's Mansion for one night and go again tomorrow morning? It's getting darker now, and the night is getting darker and the dew is heavy. There is no place to rest within a radius of dozens of miles, so it may be difficult to travel quickly."

Yuanchu glanced at the sky in the distance and saw the sun gradually setting in the west.

The sunset glow is like a colorful ribbon, lying across the sky, burning like fire, illuminating half the sky red.

Seeing the setting sun, Yuan Chu thought that what he said made sense.

But she changed her mind and realized that she had traveled through the night on her way here, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to travel through the night some more on her way back.

Seeing that she was struggling, the system said, "Your little disciple is fine at the moment. The host should take a night's rest and set off early tomorrow."

"The host has been traveling day and night continuously. Even though he is a cultivator, I'm afraid his body can't handle it."

"Besides, host, you are already familiar with the route when you came here, so you won't waste too much time on the way back."

"Alright alright."

Yuanchu was convinced by the system, and finally replied helplessly: "Then I'm sorry to bother you."

After the banquet, Yuan Chu quickly returned to the courtyard arranged by Mu Aotian for her to rest early.

The cold moonlight enveloped Yuanchu like a layer of gauze, adding a hazy beauty to her.

She walked through the long courtyard corridor, entered the house, raised her hand to close the door, performed a body cleansing gesture on herself, and then lay down.

She had been traveling continuously these past few days and had indeed not had much rest. As soon as she closed her eyes, it was already dawn.

The next day, Yuanchu woke up early, and it was already noon when he opened his eyes.

Because Mu Aotian already knew yesterday that she would leave today, she said goodbye to the servants in the City Lord's Mansion and set off for Kunlun Mountain.

On the way back to Kunlun Mountain, Yuanchu rubbed his brows, yawned, and asked the system: "Xiaoliu, how is my little disciple now?"

"We have successfully ranked among the top 30 in the Immortal Gate Competition and will be heading to the Lingze Secret Realm the day after tomorrow." The system said with some pride.

"Little Gu Xi is amazing! She can be among the top 30 among so many participants! She is comparable to a dark horse!"

Then there was a scream, "The day after tomorrow? So soon?"

He asked hurriedly, "Based on the current speed, when will we be able to reach the sect?"

System: "Based on the current speed and remaining distance..."

It paused, and then said seriously: "If the host does not go in the wrong direction, does not touch any random monsters, and travels day and night, it will take at least two days."

Hearing the system's teasing, Yuanchu smiled awkwardly and begged for mercy: "I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too!" Ling Lingliu answered with certainty.

Seeing that the system was not joking with him, Yuanchu panicked.

"What? More than two days? Doesn't that mean I won't be able to catch up with little Gu Xi to enter the Lingze Secret Realm?"

"Yes, host."

Yuanchu wailed: "Ah!"

Then Yuanchu thought of something and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Check the route quickly to see if there is a shortcut or something."

"No!" This answer was very heartless.

Yuan Chu seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking, and she felt that her young heart had been seriously hurt.

She suddenly regretted sleeping one more night in the City Lord's Mansion, but there was no regret medicine in the world for her.

Seeing Yuanchu's face full of despair, the system kindly reminded him: "But the host can look for the system mall to see if there is anything that can help you increase your speed."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" A glimmer of hope ignited in Yuanchu's heart again.

If the system hadn't told her, she would have almost forgotten the existence of the system mall.

Being bullied by Yuanchu, Ling Lingliu felt inexplicably wronged: "Host, you didn't ask."

Yuanchu was speechless. He glanced at it and expressed his admiration for this crappy system.
