Summary
Chen Yuan had transmigrated, finding himself in the body of a cannon-fodder patriarch from a typical brainless power cultivation novel.
Yes, he was now one of those endlessly self-destructive villainous patriarchs.
In this role, whenever a woman from his family fell in love with the protagonist, he was obligated to go to great lengths to obstruct them. Whenever the protagonist stumbled upon a rare treasure in a secret realm, his job was to attempt to snatch it—not personally, of course, but by sending family disciples to serve as mere fodder for the protagonist’s growth.
Now, the prized daughter of his family, painstakingly nurtured as a heavenly prodigy, had decided to sever all ties with the clan to elope with the protagonist.
“Patriarch,” the young woman pleaded earnestly, “we truly love each other. I beg for your blessing! If you refuse, I, Chen Xiao’er, am willing to leave the Chen family forever and sever all connections with it!”
Chen Yuan remained indifferent.
After a long silence, he spoke slowly: “In that case, leave behind the family’s spiritual eyes. Guards, carve them out!”
