Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came to check on you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes soon fell on the Eternal Spirit Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This Sword... )\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t tell that it was but an ordinary sword.

Do you have a bad relationship with Bai Xinyue? Like... Do you want to kill her or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan thought for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he have a bad relationship with Bai Xinyue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was talented—unlike him—which made him jealous of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the event of his mother stealing her Dao Bone to give it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if asked whether he wanted to kill her because of that, then his answer would be no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would, of course, keep his eyes on her and might even kill her—but not for those reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be because she was Heaven’s Chosen One and destined to be his enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there’s no need to show mercy to the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing mercy to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do have a bad relationship with her, but whether I want to kill her or not depends entirely on her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood what Bai Zihan meant—because if Bai Xinyue were to pick a fight with him, it was only expected that he would retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was glad that at least on Bai Zihan’s side, the animosity didn’t seem too deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t mind, can I ask why you two have a bad relationship? Looking at your names, you two are clearly related.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious. Though there’s often bad blood between relatives, she didn’t think that two of them—so young—would have such deep hatred between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, perhaps jealousy and small fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that’s because I had taken her Dao Bone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though in reality it was his mother, in the end, he was the one meant to benefit. So, it didn’t make a difference whether he said it was his mother or him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Bai Xinyue also thought the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, the Remnant Soul’s mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking someone’s Dao Bone—such a hatred might even be deeper than killing one’s best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, having a Dao Bone and not having one made a world of difference for a cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could make new friends, but the chance of obtaining a Dao Bone was one in a million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she understood why Bai Xinyue harbored such deep hatred toward Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, to think that Bai Xinyue was still that talented even after her Dao Bone was taken away—she could now see why she was the fated person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this also made the situation worse than she had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, she finally decided to ask Bai Zihan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I request something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that depends on what your request is,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a bit grateful to her and didn’t outright reject her, which he normally would have done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I ask you not to kill Bai Xinyue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a very big request, considering that Bai Xinyue was likely to come after his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Zihan still didn’t outright reject her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I ask the reason? Although she is your heir, that doesn’t mean I would spare her just because of that,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... I can’t tell you everything, but you must know this: I’m not asking you to spare her life because she is my heir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know I can’t just accept that when there’s no reason for me to do so—especially considering that she might come for my life. Moreover, you don’t have anything to bargain with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul understood that, but she still asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had told Bai Xinyue that she would become stronger than Bai Zihan, she had also considered other possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t shake the feeling that even if Bai Xinyue were to receive her Inheritance, she might still end up killed by Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that mysterious Refinement Technique—even she couldn’t see through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she had come to request Bai Zihan to show mercy to Bai Xinyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, she doesn’t have anything to bargain for. She already gave him all the treasures she had in compensation for the Inheritance that he didn’t receive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this—I’ll agree to your request if you agree to mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan said, which immediately made the Remnant Soul excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Bai Zihan was saying he would keep Bai Xinyue alive even if she might one day try to kill him—though she didn’t know what his request would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay! What is your request?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once again asked her to be his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This again! Like I said—once the Inheritance is given out, this soul of mine will vanish along with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know! You just need to agree, and I will agree with your request. Isn’t it a win for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, if Bai Zihan kept his word even though he would get nothing in return, then it was a win for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she had already warned him that her soul would vanish after completing its task, so it wasn’t like she hadn’t been clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, if you’re okay with it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just need you to keep your word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan said with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul now found herself wondering how to ensure Bai Zihan would keep his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she vanished, she would have no way of knowing whether he honored his vow or not—and this wasn’t something she could take lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She considered forming a soul contract to bind their agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Bai Zihan raised one hand, fingers forming a strange mudra, and spoke solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Bai Zihan, vow to the heavens above—if I kill Bai Xinyue without just cause, then let my path to immortality be forever severed. Let my soul shatter before I ever reach the Dao I seek.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remnant Soul’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Heavenly Oath wasn’t something to be taken lightly. It was the kind of vow that tied itself to one’s very fate and cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If broken, it wouldn’t just cripple a cultivator—it would destroy them completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the heavens would bear witness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Haha... Well, if the heavens can truly kill me, that is.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was all an act to make sure the Remnant Soul kept her promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were multiple ways to kill Bai Xinyue—even if he didn’t do it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, if heaven could kill him, it would’ve done so by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe that Heaven could do anything to him!\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","5f868ba3ee8fabff81febee1a145982feb6f0e925820e3563419a00612ad8e94","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-163","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-161",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
