I wanted to chat with Young Master Xu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Mo Xinyi and asked, \"It's pretty cold tonight. Aren’t you cold wearing just a skirt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A little,\" Mo Xinyi bit her lip and nodded, hugging her thin frame tighter into her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Xu Zimo chuckled and replied, \"Good thing I dressed warmly, I don't feel cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xinyi turned her head and looked seriously at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn't a guy offer his coat to a girl at times like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you seriously a steel-hearted straight man!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said, I feel a little cold,\" Mo Xinyi repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're cold, why not stay in your room? What are you doing out here? Serves you right,\" Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... You...\" Mo Xinyi pointed at Xu Zimo, fuming, but couldn’t find the words to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually understand what you're trying to do,\" Xu Zimo shook his head slightly. \"But do you really think there’s any possibility between us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xinyi lowered her head, her eyes growing red. In the end, she said in a hurt voice, \"It’s not like I want to debase myself like this. But in a family like ours, we don’t get to choose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If your family truly wants to make the Mo Imperial Clan great again, I can point you in the right direction,\" Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Mo Xinyi quickly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have a boy in your family named Mo Chen. He could be the key to your clan’s rise,\" Xu Zimo said. \"As long as you don't stand against me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mo Xinyi softly replied, \"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo shook his head slightly and waved her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her walk away, he let out a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the seven days Xu Zimo stayed at the Mo Imperial Clan, nothing major happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some members tried to curry favor with him, but he didn’t really respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no deep resentment toward the Mo Imperial Clan, but no fondness either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just another passing scene in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the eighth day, Mo Canghai sent someone to fetch Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two arrived at a vast open space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center, a five-pointed star formation glowed with a dark yellow light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light shot skyward, and each rotation of the array caused the space around it to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The booming sound was constant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Zimo, dear nephew,\" Mo Canghai explained, \"this teleportation array can't directly send you to the Middle Continent. Because the distance is too great, we have a transfer station in the middle of the Endless Sky Sea. Once you’re there, another teleportation array will take you straight to the Middle Continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So complicated?\" Xu Zimo asked. \"Isn’t there a way to do it in one shot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. The spatial jump would be too vast and unstable, the formation simply wouldn't work,\" Mo Canghai replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then,\" Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll activate the array from the outside. You stand in the center,\" Mo Canghai instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the space starts to fluctuate, try not to resist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand,\" Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into the array, and the five-pointed star lit up brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light swallowed everything, thunderous sounds rang out from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples spread through the space, which suddenly collapsed, and Xu Zimo’s figure vanished within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a space voyage, surrounded by chaotic spatial turbulence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s body floated weightlessly, drifting along a pre-set path through the Infinite Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost track of how long it lasted, what started as a novelty became monotonous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how long he had slept, occasionally catching glimpses of strange objects drifting through the void, but they all passed by quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the space around him began to shift with increasing intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, Xu Zimo felt as though his whole body was being swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weightless sensation vanished, and light returned to his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes, he found himself still standing inside a five-pointed star formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were guards posted around the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" asked a disciple dressed in green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo took out the token Mo Canghai had given him and said, \"Get the array to the Middle Continent ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, the array will take at least seven days to prepare,\" the disciple quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pain... Just do it as fast as you can,\" Xu Zimo responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple immediately reported to the transfer station's overseer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was Mo Feihai, the Mo Imperial Clan’s seventh elder and the person in charge of this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He briefly met with Xu Zimo, got a few basic details, and left in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo didn’t give it much thought. The array would take seven days to prepare, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, while still sleeping, he was awoken by a loud rumbling and the ground shaking violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped out of his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This transfer station was built on a small island in the Endless Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, the island was covered in smoke, and faint beastly roars echoed from the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\" Xu Zimo grabbed a hurried disciple and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry,\" the disciple shook his head. \"It’s probably just the pirates or Sky Whale Race attacking again. Happens a few times every month. They’ll leave in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the disciple run off to assist, Xu Zimo pondered for a moment and decided to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Endless Sky Sea sparkled blue and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island was now surrounded by a dense fleet of ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates were easy to spot, wearing crude green vests, with some even bare-chested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cultivation was mostly at the Desolate Meridian Realm or above. Their ships were enhanced with formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These formations allowed them to concentrate their energy attacks and fire them like cannons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the pirates, many Sky Whale Race’s beasts were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These beasts were huge, with tough hides that made normal attacks useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could also manipulate the seawater of the Endless Sky Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates attacked from the rear using energy cannons, while the Sky Whale Race beasts led the charge at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assault was fierce, but thankfully, the island’s defenses were even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mo Imperial Clan had superior high-level combat power, five Empyrean Meridian Realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo observed the entire day from a distance as the battle raged on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time both sides were exhausted, they finally retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, Xu Zimo sought out Mo Feihai to ask about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, nearly all five Empyrean Meridian cultivators of the Mo Imperial Clan were gathered in the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","91daec5edc2abba10125da5ebdd905f6ee003c2ae7988bcbd8668f80fb5101c5","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-261","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-259",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
