Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 86: Three Against One, How Could I Lose?

At that moment, a spatial ripple once again swept through the Pantheon. Two imposing figures appeared—it was Qin Xian and Marika.

Seeing Qin Xian return safely, Qin Li’s heart surged with joy, and she called out, “Brother!” But her face quickly shifted to hesitation, uncertain if she still qualified to call him that.

Ye Xuan, on the other hand, was filled with excitement as he noticed Marika by Qin Xian’s side. Victory was assured!

There were four people in the Pantheon: Marika, the Eternal Queen, a deity who had blessed him and was the most powerful celestial in the ancient empire; Qin Li, his sister, who, although low in level, was a Deathbringer Angel with a skill that could trigger instant death, a powerful threat to Qin Xian.

“Eternal Queen, sister, stand by my side!” Ye Xuan’s face was alight with confidence as he fixed his gaze on Qin Xian.

In his mind, he was backed by his goddess and his sister. Together with his own power as a Level 40 Dragon God, it was three against one! How could he possibly lose?

Smiling confidently at Marika, he said, “Honorable Eternal Queen, I have successfully ascended to Dragon God. Thank you for your blessing! I will avenge the bloodshed in the Pantheon on your behalf!” Ye Xuan stood tall, waiting for Marika’s praise.

He knew how much she admired and favored him, and now that he had become so powerful, surely she would be pleased!

But quickly, Ye Xuan’s smile froze, for Marika’s gaze upon him was icy, devoid of her usual warmth. It was as if she were looking at a stranger.

Ye Xuan finally sensed something was amiss. Marika had arrived with Qin Xian and, even more startling, she stood beside him with a demeanor of… respect?

“Marika, Ye Xuan asked you to go over,” Qin Xian said with a mocking smile.

In response, Marika immediately knelt beside Qin Xian, saying reverently, “Marika will only stand behind her master; everything of Marika’s belongs to the master…”

She punctuated her words by kissing Qin Xian’s shoes in a show of utter subservience and humility.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Xuan stood in shock, almost unable to believe his eyes. His heart was filled with disbelief, and he murmured, “Eternal Queen… how could you?”

Marika was the first deity Ye Xuan had encountered and his savior during a moment of dire peril. He had been captivated by her holy, noble presence and stunning beauty from the start.

To him, Marika was an untouchable goddess, embodying purity and majesty. Even to approach her felt like blasphemy.

In his heart, Ye Xuan held a flicker of admiration for her. Perhaps, he thought, if he grew strong enough, he might one day stand by her side, maybe even become her companion.

But now, the goddess he revered knelt before Qin Xian, degraded to the role of a lowly female slave. How had it come to this?

Qin Xian had slain countless deities—shouldn’t he be Marika’s enemy? What had happened while he was transforming into a Dragon God? The shock left Ye Xuan dizzy, his mind swirling with anger and pain.

Meanwhile, Qin Li looked at Qin Xian, tears welling in her eyes, and could not help but ask, “Brother… is it true what he said? Am I really a daughter of the Ye family?”

Qin Xian saw her expression and understood that Ye Xuan had already revealed her true origins. He wasn’t concerned—this was bound to come to light sooner or later. Qin Li would eventually learn the truth.

With calm composure, Qin Xian nodded. “Yes, you are indeed the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, daughter of Ye Buqiu. From a bloodline standpoint, you are indeed his sister.”

Qin Xian openly acknowledged everything, candidly confirming the blood feud between them. Qin Li’s face filled with complex emotions.

She could accept that she and Qin Xian were not related by blood, but the idea of harboring enmity against him was intolerable. If that were true, she wouldn’t even have the right to stand by his side.

Seeing the pain on Qin Li’s face, Qin Xian remained composed, observing her with a detached gaze, devoid of any visible emotion.

They had grown up together, inseparable for nearly twenty years, so he did hold some feelings for her, but only a little. These emotions would never affect his decisions.

If he wanted to keep her, Qin Xian could explain, deceive, or even employ a ploy to win her forgiveness. But he didn’t. Qin Xian was not one to please others, not even Qin Li. If she chose Ye Xuan, he would kill her without hesitation. It was as simple as that. Anyone who betrayed him would pay the price.

Hearing Qin Xian’s acknowledgment, Ye Xuan finally smiled. Perhaps Qin Li hadn’t fully believed him earlier, but now that Qin Xian had confirmed it, she would surely accept him as her brother.

Qin Xian looked at Qin Li, and she looked back at him. At this moment, Qin Li felt as if a knife was slicing through her heart. Despair filled her; it was as if she were no longer Qin Xian’s sister. It felt as though she would never be able to stand by him again.

Qin Xian noticed the despair and pain in her eyes. With a calm expression, he extended his hand to her. “But I once told you that you don’t need to know your true identity.”

“All you need to know is that you are my sister. That remains true even now. You are still my sister, but only if you are willing to sign a Soul Contract with me.”

[Soul Contract]: A legendary item, the highest level of contract, forever binding the signatory to never betray the contract holder.

Ye Xuan, hearing this, felt Qin Xian was utterly mad! Who did he think he was? Now that Qin Li knew the truth, how could she possibly side with him, let alone agree to a Soul Contract?

But the next moment, Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. He watched as Qin Li’s face broke into a smile, and without any hesitation, she walked towards Qin Xian.
