Systemless Villain

Chapter 188 Unseen Threats

Long Tian was caught off guard as Liu Qian initiated a bold move, his hands exploring her curves, each touch stoking the flames of desire.

In the timeless dance of passion, he started to undress her, their lips locked in a fervent embrace.

Abruptly, she broke the kiss. "Let's move this to my room," she whispered seductively, a heavy sigh escaping her lips.

Unable to resist any longer, Long Tian lifted Liu Qian, kissing her passionately as they ascended to the second floor.

---------

Now in the room, Long Tian tossed Liu Qian onto the bed, their bodies pressed together.

Their kisses continued as they undressed each other. Liu Qian's beautiful face and alluring body overwhelmed Long Tian.

In the intimate cocoon of their locked haven, sighs of passion echoed with each passing moment.

-------------

The sky displayed a clear atmosphere with the sun casting its warm rays.

The clock struck 9:00 am, marking the beginning of daily activities. From students heading to school to workers starting their day, life was in motion.

And at this moment, on the rooftop of a building, a brutal act unfolded...

Stab!

A sword pierced the neck of a young man in his 20s.

Shock widened the young man's eyes, but it was short-lived as the sword swiftly cleaved through his neck, his head falling to the ground.

Blood painted the white marble floor crimson in this gruesome scene.

In the midst of this horror, a young man of similar age rose. His appearance was decent, a handsome face with slightly long black hair. A muscular physique and a medium-sized sword on his shoulder added to his fierce impression.

Despite the blood, a satisfied grin adorned the young man's face.

The towering six-armed figure behind him slowly faded away.

[You have killed the son of fortune!]

[Congratulations, you gain +100 luck points]

[Congratulations, you obtain the heavenly weapon: Ethereal Spear]

[Congratulations, you acquire 'Heart of Steel']

[Congratulations, you receive 10 profound level spiritual stones]

[Congratulations, your cultivation base increases by one level]

The grin on the young man's face widened as holograms revealed his rewards.

"What a reward. It seems I don't need to cultivate; hunting these guys down is enough," he said, chuckling.

[Do you want to extract all these rewards?]

"Hahaha, of course!" he exclaimed.

[Extraction begins]

With the hologram, power surged through his body.

Before long, his body emitted a powerful aura, indicating a successful breakthrough.

[Ethereal Spear has been stored in the system's storage]

A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he felt the newfound strength.

Placing his hand on his chest, he sensed a significant change.

"Heart of Steel, the special power of the one I just killed."

"Status window," he commanded.

In an instant, a hologram displayed in front of him.

[Name: Zhao Tianming]

[Age: 21 years old]

[Race: Half-demon]

[Ultimate task: Kill Long Tian]

Zhao Tianming's gaze shifted to the name in the ultimate-task, Long Tian.

"The young master of the Long family... Looks like I'll be facing you in the survival competition," he smirked.

His aura exuded a cruel and sinister presence.

Turning his attention to the corpse before him, he raised his hand, and flames engulfed it. The body erupted in a fiery blaze.

Without lingering, Zhao Tianming departed from the scene.

-------------

More than two hours had elapsed. Presently, within the Liu family residence, Liu Qian leaned against Long Tian's body on the bed, covered only by a blanket.

Long Tian gently caressed Liu Qian's hair, but then he took her hand and examined the back of her wrist, where a crescent moon mark adorned her skin.

"So, you have the Khan's mark too?" he inquired.

"Yeah, but there's nothing special about it. Millions of people have that mark," Liu Qian responded.

"That means you'll return to the Grand Yuan Dynasty, right?" Long Tian asked.

Liu Qian fell silent, nestling herself into Long Tian's body.

"I don't know how long I'll be in the Grand Yuan Dynasty, and I can't escape since I have the Khan's mark," she uttered.

Long Tian remained completely silent. He, too, had no knowledge of the Tsagaan Sar tradition; he only knew that it occurred once every thousand years.

Suddenly, Liu Qian sat up. "Don't ever forget me, promise?" she said.

"Isn't that supposed to be my line? You'll return to the Grand Yuan Dynasty, and so will the person who proposed to you," Long Tian remarked.

"I never liked him, Long Tian. I won't marry him," Liu Qian responded.

"You promise?" Long Tian asked.

"I promise," Liu Qian stated.

A smile formed on Long Tian's face. Now, Liu Qian wasn't as upset as usual. Of course, he hoped she could reconcile with Li Yue'er.

---

The sun intensified its heat as time marched on. Long Tian and Liu Qian, now clad in attire, stood in the room where Liu Hai lay unconscious on the bed.

"Now I feel bad for Mr. Liu," Long Tian admitted.

"Don't dwell on it, Long Tian. It was a pure accident. It might also be the influence of your Heavenly Flame, which might not be suitable for alchemy," Liu Qian reassured.

"You could be right," Long Tian nodded.

After a brief conversation, the two of them exited the room.

Long Tian had also obtained the information he sought, though he remained curious about the distinctive nature of his Heavenly Flame.

In this moment, they both stood before the villa, with Long Tian heading towards his car.

"See you tomorrow, Qian'er," Long Tian said.

"Yes, drive safely," Liu Qian responded.

Long Tian smiled, nodded, then stepped into his car. The engine roared to life, and he promptly drove away from the Liu family residence.

-----------

The melodious hum of the engine resonated with a steady melody. Seated behind the wheel, Long Tian couldn't help but ponder his purple flame.

As one of the Heavenly Flames, he couldn't help but be impressed by Lin Fan's abilities.

"I hope he's got something worthwhile so I can make it mine!" he remarked with a grin.
