I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

[Sang Nian]: This is how it happened. Please hold a moment of silence (put your hands together)

【Chuyao】: Already dropped (with photos)

[Su Xueyin]: Wuwuwu, Junior Brother Shen is still so young, how come...

[Wen Buyu]: How to surrender?

[Wen Buyu]: I don’t know how to operate the psychic stone. Who can teach me?

【Hearing but not speaking】：(???︿???)

[Shen Mingchao]: ...I have not offended any of you

"Hey, Your Highness is awake?"

Sang Nian put away the spiritual stone, walked slowly to the bedside, bent down and carefully observed the young man on the bed.

Shen Mingchao reached out and pushed her:

"Why are you so close to me all of a sudden? I'm warning you. I'm as beautiful as a flower. If you dare to covet me, I—"

Sang Nian raised his fist:

"I'll punch you to death—"

"If you don't shut up."

Shen Mingchao shrank his neck and closed his mouth silently.

Sang Nian touched his chin and nodded repeatedly:

"Well, he's not foaming at the mouth anymore, his face isn't green anymore, and his eyes aren't glassy anymore."

She pretended to bow:

"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness. You have saved your life again."

Shen Mingchao weakly raised his middle finger.

He stepped softly onto the bed:

"How did you cure my poison?"

Sang Nian took out a porcelain bottle:

"Dangdangdang, the Ten-fold Detoxification Pill I bought at a high price is effective in curing the disease immediately after taking one pill."

Shen Mingchao's eyes turned red and he sniffed:

"You are worthy of being my best friend. You are willing to use such good medicine for me."

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly, and so should best friends."

Sang Nian opened his palms to him and smiled without showing his teeth:

"Ten thousand spirit stones for each, plus an additional thirty thousand spirit stones for artificial feeding and nursing care."

Shen Mingchao: “…”

Damn myself for being so moved by her just now.

After paying, he became angrier and angrier:

"If you get seriously injured in the future, I will rip you off and get your money back with interest."

Sang Nian curled his lips: "Who needs your rescue?"

Shen Mingchao threatened:

"Okay, then I'll watch you die. Anyone who tries to save you is a dog!"

Sang Nian: "You are a dog."

Shen Mingchao almost vomited blood.

"Okay, I have to go see if Xiao Zhuochen next door is awake. I don't have time to argue with you."

Sang Nian opened the door and went out.

Shen Mingchao quickly caught up with her:

"What time is it now?"

Sang Nian: "At noon on the second day after the gathering of heroes begins."

He breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I didn't delay much progress."

Sang Nian glanced at him and pulled out a hand-drawn map from his sleeve:

"After seeing Xiao Zhuochen, we will set off."

Shen Mingchao glanced at it:

"Is this the map of the entire secret realm?"

Sang Nian: "The little pufferfish gave it to me."

"I have roughly marked some places where chalcedony may be hidden. When we go to meet up with Xie Chenzhou and the others, we can stop by and take a look. We should be able to collect quite a lot."

Seeing her rare seriousness, Shen Mingchao said in a strange tone:

"You want to get a rank, too?"

Sang Nian said, "I want to take first place."

Shen Mingchao let out an "ah" and blurted out:

"How can you get first place?"

Sang Nian asked back:

“Why can’t I be number one?”

Shen Mingchao scratched his head:

"Not really, it's just that with our level of cultivation, it seems that we don't dare to think about being number one."

Sang Nian raised his eyebrows: "I dare to think so."

She put away the map:

"Everything depends on human effort. How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

"However, although……"

Shen Mingchao shook his head:

"They are all in the Jindan stage, and Xiao Zhuochen is even in the Yuanying stage. You are just a little foundation-building cultivator. If the teleportation array hadn't been broken, you wouldn't even be qualified to come in. How could you possibly defeat them?"

Sang Nian took it for granted:

"They are very strong. I can't beat them, but that doesn't affect my desire to get first place."

Shen Mingchao choked, looking like he couldn't do anything about her:

"Forget it, it's good for people to have dreams. I won't discourage you."

As they were talking, the two pushed open the door of the next room.

Chu Yao and the little pufferfish were both inside.

"How is he?" Sang Nian asked.

"Still dizzy."

Chu Yao said:

"He was seriously injured and was almost sent out by the spirit of the secret realm."

Shen Mingchao is eager to try:

"How about we just give him a ride? Anyway, with his injuries, he can't continue to look for chalcedony."

Sang Nian thought of Xiao Jing's words.

If he were to be eliminated now, Xiao Zhuochen would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire cultivation world.

By then, the Xiao family, who would regard him as an honor...

What will be done?

"Forget it," Sang Nian said, "Let him stay here peacefully for a few days. He will have many more hard days after he gets out."

Shen Mingchao said angrily:

"He's lucky to have met a few of us. If it were someone else, they would have dealt with him, their number one rival, long ago."

"Cough-cough-"

The young man on the bed suddenly coughed twice, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his tightly closed eyes showed signs of opening.

"He seems to be waking up." said the little pufferfish.

Several people hurried over.

"Cough-cough-"

The young man coughed twice again, frowned, and slowly opened his eyes a crack.

At the head of the bed, there were four faces, three big and one small, all looking down at him.

"Are you awake?" they said in unison.

Xiao Zhuochen: “.”

He slowed down and spoke tentatively:

"Miss Sang?"

Sang Nian nodded with satisfaction:

"You still recognized me, it seems your brain is not injured."

Xiao Zhuochen was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Yes... you saved me?"

Sang Nian waved his hands hurriedly, speaking as fast as pouring beans out of a bamboo tube:

"It wasn't me. Don't repay the wrong person. I just gave you medicine. Someone else carried you back."

Xiao Zhuochen shifted his gaze to Chu Yao's face.

Chu Yao: "Don't look, it's not me."

He looked at Shen Mingchao again.

Shen Mingchao: "Haha, it's not me either."

He finally looked at the little pufferfish.

The little pufferfish said proudly:

"Yes, it was my father who carried you back."

Xiao Zhuochen struggled to get out of bed and salute:

"I will repay you for saving my life."

"Okay, you better lie down."

Sang Nian pushed him back with one hand:

"You're almost paralyzed, so stop messing around."

Xiao Zhuochen paused and asked:

"Am I seriously injured?"

Sang Nian: "Anyway, I can't use my spiritual power for the next half month. It will take at least a year and a half to fully recover."

Xiao Zhuochen seemed to have anticipated this. He turned his eyes slightly, hiding the loneliness in his eyes perfectly.

He said politely:

"Anyway, thank you Miss Sang for applying medicine and bandaging me."

Sang Nian reached out to him.

Xiao Zhuochen was bewildered:

"This is?"

Sang Nian grinned and said politely:

"Please settle the medical expenses. The total is 188,000 yuan."

Xiao Zhuochen: “…”

Shen Mingchao finally regained his mental balance and said confidently:

"One hundred and eighty thousand is already very cheap, and our elixirs are not blown by the wind."

"Not to mention the time and energy I spent taking care of you. These are things that money can't buy."

After Xiao Zhuochen heard this, a hint of guilt flashed across his pale face, and he whispered:

"I am really sorry for disturbing you all."

Sang Nian said:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He himself was poisoned and fell into a coma. He is not much better than you."

Xiao Zhuochen shook his head slightly:

"I did influence a few fellow Taoists."

He forced himself to sit up, untied the storage bag at his waist, and took out a box from it:

"These are the chalcedony I collected. Since I can no longer walk, there is no point in keeping them."

Shen Mingchao was shocked:

"You mean to give it to us?"

Xiao Zhuochen nodded gently:

"I didn't bring any spirit stones with me this time. I will pay you back the money I owe you after I leave here."

Now even Shen Mingchao felt a little embarrassed and stammered to stop talking.

Sang Nian glanced at him and said to Xiao Zhuochen:

"If you give us the chalcedony, you won't have any rank at all."

Xiao Zhuochen could not hide his fatigue:

"Except for the first place, the other rankings are no different to me."

Just like his life, apart from success, the only option left is failure.

There is never a middle ground.
