**Protagonist:** Bai Feng

**Summary:** Bai Feng has crossed over to another world, and he has a sister with innate celestial bones. He thought that as long as he clung to his sister’s leg, he could live a carefree life in this perilous world of cultivation. But when he woke up, he discovered that his mother was preparing to take his sister’s celestial bones and give them to him.

At that moment, he realized he was holding a villain’s script!

Just then, a system appeared, offering him generous rewards if he targeted the Children of Fortune and seized their fortune points. However, if he stole too many points, it would raise the Children of Fortune’s suspicions, even hostility.

Looking at the three Children of Fortune in the city, Bai Feng decided—he was done with it!

Let someone else be the villain; with three Children of Fortune in just one city, he couldn’t even imagine how many there were worldwide.

So, when the sect was recruiting, he avoided the gathering place of these Children of Fortune and steered clear of industries where they frequently appeared. Instead, he spent his days drawing, listening to music, and doing what he wanted.

Years later, the Tianji Tower had the fortune to interview the Children of Fortune around Bai Feng, asking for their opinions on him:

**Child of Fortune A:** “No one understands Bai Feng better than I do. He’s not the selfish person people say he is, obsessed with celestial bones. On the contrary, he has no interest in them and has been secretly protecting his sister.”

**Child of Fortune B:** “Many call me a Child of Fortune, a person of destiny, but in my eyes, Bai Feng is the true person of destiny. He is warm-hearted and upright, treading the path of cultivation with an ordinary body.”

At that moment, Bai Feng, watching the interview, slowly raised an eyebrow in confusion.

They were slandering him!

And you, Children of Fortune, stay away from me!

“No, don’t!”

“Why? Aren’t we family?”

In an old, nearly deserted house, the cries of a little girl echoed. Through the broken window, one could see a ten-year-old girl tightly bound to a bed, while a middle-aged man stood beside her, wiping a blade.

“Move faster; our time is limited,” a woman in luxurious clothing said softly, not even glancing at the girl on the bed.

“Hahaha, you don’t need to be too nervous; after all, she’s just an outsider,” the old man chuckled, “If it weren’t for the celestial bones, who would risk their life to raise her?”

Hearing their conversation, the little girl felt a chill in her heart.

She had thought she had found a family that would accept her, but they were no different from others; they only coveted her celestial bones.

“Is Feng’er not here yet?” the woman asked the man guarding the door.

“He’ll be here soon; Fifth Uncle has already gone to find him.”

Meanwhile, a young boy followed a middle-aged man, glancing at the desolate surroundings, feeling a sudden unease.

“Fifth Uncle, where are we going?”

“Hahaha, don’t be nervous,” Fifth Uncle said with a smile. “We’re preparing a surprise for you. With this, your path in cultivation will be smooth sailing.”

The boy fell silent, his head lowered. He had already guessed what the surprise was.

‘So, I really ended up with a villain’s script, huh?’

His name was Bai Feng, a time traveler. One night, after finishing work, he was hit by a truck while crossing the street, and then he was reborn in this world where cultivation was possible.

Unfortunately, his talent was mediocre. However, when he was young, his father brought home a girl with celestial bones, naming her Bai Yu Mo.

Now, it seemed that his sister Bai Yu Mo had already been captured by Fifth Uncle and the others.

He just didn’t know how many people were involved in this matter—was it his father’s idea, or were some people acting behind his father’s back?

In recent days, he had sensed something was off at home, like his mother’s suddenly improved attitude towards Bai Yu Mo.

Based on the countless web novels he had read, he suspected something was amiss, so he wrote a letter and left it in his father’s study.

If someone was deceiving his father, that would be one thing, but if it was his father’s idea, then he would truly be bound to the villain’s chariot.

【Ding—Detected the host's actions, the Villain System has been bound!】

“…”

What do you mean by my actions? I had no idea before this!

Bai Feng couldn’t help but complain.

But complaints aside, he opened the system to take a look.

The system interface was very simple; apart from a mere 10 points of fortune value, there was nothing else.

However, above the fortune value, there was a ‘?’ symbol. Focusing on it, a page of explanations appeared.

In short, he just needed to target the Children of Fortune, undermine their confidence, mess with their mindset, and he could earn fortune points and receive generous rewards.

But he couldn’t wash himself clean and become a Child of Fortune just because he gained more fortune points. On the contrary, the higher his fortune points, the more likely he would be targeted by the Children of Fortune.

To better target the Children of Fortune, he also gained a skill to discover them, currently limited to the size of one city.

So, he casually activated it. Although he was certain his sister was a Child of Fortune, he still wanted to see the system’s confirmation.

Sure enough, among the three light spots, one was just a few dozen meters ahead.

Wait, three light spots?

Bai Feng suddenly froze, instinctively looking towards the other two light spots. If he remembered correctly, one direction was the neighboring Lin family.

The Lin family indeed had a talented cultivator, but it could also be some mediocre disciple.

As for the other one, he had no clue.

But this was ridiculous—how could there be three Children of Fortune in one city? Did they come here for a team-building exercise?

Looking at the Villain System and then at the three light spots, the small flicker of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished. Ultimately, he decided—screw being a villain! I’m just going to slack off!

Thinking it over, he was the young master of the Bai family. Although his talent was average, his family background was solid!

He wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink for a lifetime. What was the point of targeting the Children of Fortune?

If every city had two or three Children of Fortune, then once his fortune points increased, wouldn’t he be hunted down the moment he stepped outside?

With that thought, he no longer hesitated and said to Fifth Uncle, “Is it Bai Yu Mo?”

“You’re indeed sharp,” Fifth Uncle nodded with a smile. “That’s right; the surprise is her celestial bones. I know you have a good relationship with her, but she’s just an outsider. You, on the other hand, are the child of destiny, destined to lead the Bai family to glory!”

“I don’t need celestial bones,” Bai Feng shook his head. “I can cultivate just fine without them.”

“You stubborn kid,” Fifth Uncle said, reaching out to him and leading him toward the dilapidated house. “What will you rely on to cultivate? Your mediocre talent? Don’t blame me for speaking harshly; without celestial bones, with your talent, you’ll only be trampled by others. You’ll understand in the future.”

Bai Feng didn’t dodge; he knew he couldn’t escape with his current cultivation level.

He looked up and stared at Fifth Uncle, softly saying, “Shouldn’t you ask for my opinion on this?”

Fifth Uncle smiled, “Such important matters are naturally decided by us elders. Don’t feel wronged; everything we do is for the Bai family. You’ll understand our good intentions in the future.”

With that, the two had already stepped outside.

Bai Feng felt a surge of anxiety in his heart. He pretended to agree and nodded, “Alright, I understand. Can you give me a little time? After all, she’s my sister.”

“Hahaha, of course, but don’t take too long; our time is limited.” Fifth Uncle laughed and let go of him.

‘Limited time? Does that mean they’re acting behind everyone’s back?’

Bai Feng instantly caught on to something, so he deliberately started chatting with Fifth Uncle to buy time: “After you take the bones, will she still be alive?”

“I don’t know, but no matter what, she won’t survive,” Fifth Uncle shook his head, his kind face saying something cruel. “Don’t worry; we’ll handle it cleanly.”

“Is that so…”

Bai Feng lowered his head and spoke softly.

“Alright, let’s go inside.”

“Wait a minute, I don’t want to see my sister hate me…”

Bai Feng didn’t finish his sentence, turning to look in the direction of the Bai family.
