Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System-Chapter 141: Mei Xuan’s First Kiss!

’Do you know what this is?’

Zhiran asked seemingly to no one while playing with the shimmering drop of blood in his hand.

He could feel an overwhelming aura within it, so intense that he was afraid even he wouldn’t be able to contain it.

No wonder Wu Zhen turned out like that. He was rather surprised that he could hold on for so long.

’Hmm...seems like an Ancient blood of some monster. From its aura, it should be in around the Peak Gold Core realm while it was alive.’

Xueyin spoke while scanning the blood with her divine sense.

’Ancient Monsters, huh...this secret realm might be older than we thought.’

Zhiran thought before storing the blood in a bottle and stuffing it inside his ring. He wasn’t as stupid as Wu Zhen to absorb it directly.

’Yeah...it isn’t that surprising considering the amount of blood fog around.’ Master Xueyin agreed.

Ancient Monsters were those monsters that were of a previous era.

An era when this world was quite barbaric, and orthodox cultivation was not yet established.

At that time, the spiritual energy in this world was at its peak, and the monsters born in it were, of course, stronger.

That heavy aura in just a drop of blood essence was because of that. A normal Gold Core monster could never have such an aura today.

’Don’t absorb it yet. I can teach you a pill recipe later. You can refine that blood and practice physical cultivation. I noticed that you haven’t yet.’

Master Xueyin spoke lightly, already forgetting the episode outside before. Or rather, she might just be too lazy to really act like she was offended.

She wasn’t a little girl after all.

’Oh? Physical cultivation? Is it so important?’

Zhiran suddenly remembered the event a month before with Elder Yan Yue. She summoned him to ask whether he knew Mo Tianyu, as that guy managed to get Crimson Spirit Bamboo.

Now that he thought about it, it might be Xueyin who helped him get that.

’Of course! It’s your body, isn’t it important to train it?’

Xueyin rolled her eyes and explained,

’Although a cultivator’s physique improves alongside their increasing realm, the effect is not that great. While it might not affect much in the lower realms, at higher realms, they will definitely stumble.’

She paused and said,

’Don’t forget, from Gold Core and onward, with each major realm breakthrough, you will also have to go through the heavenly tribulation. A strong body is extremely important to cross such a calamity.’

She explained lightly. In fact, it was better for Zhiran to build his physique before making his foundation, as that was the most crucial part of a cultivator.

But he was already in a higher realm. Still, it wasn’t a bad idea to start now.

’Okay then. Once we return, please help me refine that pill later, Elder Xueyin.’

Zhiran smiled slightly and requested. He now felt that leaving her alive didn’t seem that bad.

’Refine? Why will I refine the pill for you? I will just give you the recipe. Go and refine it yourself.’

Xueyin couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his antics. Was he trying to work her like a coolie?

Saying ’Elder’ like this after teasing her just before. This guy was really shameless.

’Elder, of course, you have to refine it. I haven’t even touched a cauldron in my life. By the time I learn to refine any pill, won’t it already be too late?’

Zhiran rolled his eyes.

’Oh? Then what can I do? I am just a soul body. Do you think I can really refine a pill? I already gave you a pill recipe. What more do you want?’

Elder Xueyin felt speechless.

’If you can’t learn, just find someone who can refine it for you. Don’t pester me anymore.’

After saying that, she immediately broke the mind connection between them, not wanting to listen to his persuasion.

’Tch... you are a soul body of a Mahayana Cultivator, and you can’t even do such a small thing.’

Zhiran complained, but since she already hid, he could do nothing.

’Come to think of it, maybe I can ask Elder Chu Yuxuan. She is the master of Su Ruyue after all. With my wife’s request, she might help me with this.’

Zhiran was thinking randomly when he saw Mei Xuan coming near.

"Zhiran, are you alright?"

She asked, to which Zhiran just nodded lightly.

"Okay, I already killed that thing. Let’s go to a different place now."

He said, came close to Mei Xuan before lightly slapping her butt playfully,

"I was busy exploring the Blood Forest, and you had to ruin my time like this. How are you going to compensate me?"

He suddenly asked, while rubbing her butt without shame. He found that Mei Xuan was really gifted in that part.

’Maybe, all her nutrients went there instead of being evenly distributed.’

Zhiran thought while looking at her chest.

"Eekk...!"

Mei Xuan froze for a heartbeat after his slap, then slowly, almost unconsciously, relaxed instead of pulling away.

Surprisingly, her usual sharp retort never came. Instead, she lowered her gaze, lashes trembling slightly as she shifted closer, close enough that Zhiran could feel her warmth through the thin layer of clothing.

She didn’t pull away her butt at all. Just shyly let him do his thing.

After today’s incident, she already felt that there was no escaping this shameless guy. So, it was better to let him take advantage.

Maybe he would save her like this again, too.

"You’re... impossible," she suddenly murmured, but there was no heat in her voice, only a soft resignation that made Zhiran a little dumbfounded.

He felt that she returned to that shy self she had shown when she was with Tianyu before.

Only, he could feel that this time, she wasn’t acting.

’This girl...’

Zhiran raised his eyebrow slightly, understanding her thought, and smiled slightly.

"Oh?" Zhiran leaned down with playfull smirk and whispered in her ear that was already red to the tip in a husky voice,

"You don’t sound very angry."

Hearing him, Mei Xuan hesitated slightly, fingers curling lightly at her side as if thinking about her decision.

Then, after a moment, she suddenly dragged Zhiran with her hand before leaning her back against the nearest tree, the rough bark pressing into her shoulders.

Her posture was as if she had unconsciously chosen retreat over resistance.

Her cheeks were already flushed, eyes avoiding his, yet she made no effort to stop him.

But it was clear that she was seducing him. Seducing him took the juicy bait on her own terms.

She was always like this. Once she made her decision, she wouldn’t back down.

So what she show such a side to him? She was honestly a little afraid that Zhiran mightn’t take her bait instead.

"Oh?"

Seeing her like this, Zhiran’s gaze darkened with interest.

This was new.

Mei Xuan, who usually would have already drawn her blade or scolded him into silence, now stood there quietly, breathing a little faster than usual.

When his hand brushed her waist again, she stiffened for an instant, then slowly exhaled, allowing it.

She seemed ready for everything, even without him trying.

"You’re unusually obedient today, are you planning something or..." he said softly, more amused than teasing.

"Don’t misunderstand,"

Mei Xuan, of course, understood what he meant. So, to show her stance, she directly grabbed his hand, placing it against her butt, before grabbing his neck in a hug, her eyes meeting his with a sultry look.

"Zhiran... you know you already own me. So... why are you hesitating?"

She asked, making his blood boil. Really, this girl had a way with her words and seduction.

Zhiran tilted his head, studying her expression. Her lips were parted, breath warm, eyes shining with a mixture of embarrassment and something dangerously close to anticipation.

"You can stop me," he said casually.

She didn’t answer.

Instead, she looked up at him, just for a moment, and that was answer enough.

Zhiran chuckled softly and leaned in, his forehead brushing hers.

Mei Xuan’s breath hitched, her fingers tightening, but she still didn’t pull away.

When his lips finally met hers, it was slow and unhurried, more testing than claiming.

Her eyes widened slightly at first, then slowly closed.

For a brief moment, the Blood Forest seemed to fade away, the oppressive crimson and lingering danger replaced by the quiet rustling of leaves and the steady rhythm of two breaths mingling too closely.

Zhiran deepened the kiss just a little, enough to draw a soft sound from her before he pulled back, resting his forehead against hers.

Mei Xuan’s face was completely red now.

"You’re terrible," she whispered, though she made no move to leave.

She could feel that Zhiran wasn’t as forward with her as Linahua. Maybe he was waiting, or maybe this place wasn’t a good one; Mei Xuan didn’t like it.

She also wanted him to go mad for her like Tinayu’s mother.

To be honest, she was craving it after that night.
