Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System

"Whoa... is this how an array looks in reality?"

Zhiran gasped in shock, looking at the intricate formation before him, his eyes shining brightly.

Currently, he was seeing countless strands of spiritual light crisscrossing through the air like a living web, intertwining and separating in a rhythm that felt almost like breathing.

Symbols he could barely comprehend flickered within the lattice, each one rotating slowly as if guarding some profound secret.

The air itself hummed with restrained power, making the fine hairs on his arms stand on end as waves of pressure pulsed outward in silent ripples.

He felt that if he dared to touch those lines, he would get annihilated by the sheer power hidden within.

'But what are those?'

However, Zhiran quickly noticed multiple nodes scattered throughout the massive formation. They were like tiny stars embedded within the flowing lines, brighter and denser than the rest.

Each node pulsed at a different rhythm, some steady and calm, others flickering violently as if suppressing something terrifying inside.

The spiritual lines all converged toward these nodes before spreading outward again, forming cycles within cycles.

He was currently using the Brain of the Immortal to look at the array. Although he could only use a fraction of its power, he could see the whole ancient array in front of him in its full glory.

Layers that were invisible to the naked eye unfolded one by one in his vision.

Hidden inscriptions surfaced beneath the surface layer. Secondary circuits overlapped with the main structure.

Even the faintest flow of spiritual qi through each line became clear as flowing streams of light.

Not to mention, he could even modify them with his divine sense.

'What if I did this?'

Zhiran was really curious about the magnificent power he held, and curiously used his divine sense to gently touch one of the smaller outer nodes, which didn't feel like a dangerous one.

He did not dare to interfere with the central core, but the peripheral ones seemed… manageable.

Thinking this, he nudged it slightly with its divine sense, just to satiate his curiosity.

He didn't dare play around more than this.

"Tring!"

However, the moment he nudged it lightly, the node suddenly trembled. It was a very faint vibration, just as he intended.

Yet, he saw that a few of the connecting lines shifted their trajectory by a hair's breadth the moment vibration took place.

In an instant, he then saw the flow of qi alter direction, no more than a drop changing course in a river, yet the entire structure reacted.

It was like a domino effect.

What felt like just a small nudge began to get bigger and bigger until several nearby symbols began to spin faster.

Even a low hum echoed through the formation.

Zhiran's eyes widened at seeing such a change.

But before he could even attempt to correct what he had done, he saw what was once a stable cycle suddenly reversed, literally.

He didn't even manage to blink his eye once, and everything had happened already.

"Swish!"

Then, Zhiran suddenly felt the world around him move. Space folded like a piece of paper being flipped over.

The humming roar of the array filled his ears, and the dazzling lattice of light expanded until it swallowed his entire vision.

In no time at all, he found himself in one of the corners of the array, inside.

'Crap! I got teleported.'

Zhiran was almost scared to death as he never thought just messing with a simple node could get him teleported inside so easily.

'What kind of crap array is this?'

Zhiran thought in anger, afraid that he might have already been noticed by Elder Yan Yue. He didn't know how he was going to explain to her how he entered.

She might even kill him instantly, thinking he was some kind of spy.

"~~Mmm~~"

"Hmm?"

However, just as he was afraid and wanted to use the same node to leave the place quickly, he heard a faint murmur.

No, it wasn't a murmur per se, as he was quite familiar with this noise. It was the same one Lianhua used to make when they were in bed.

A raspy breathy moan demanding ultimate pleasure. He would always fall for that noise, pouncing on her without a care.

'But..why am I hearing it inside the array? And why is that lake covered in mist?'

Zhiran thought, looking at the Ember Lake only to see it fully covered in a crimson mist of unknown origin.

The entire lake, which usually shimmered like molten fire under the sun, was now hidden beneath thick rolling fog.

The mist churned slowly, as if something beneath it was stirring the waters. Faint waves of scorching pink spiritual qi pulsed outward, distorting the surrounding air.

Even using his divine sense, he could see nothing inside.

The mist devoured his perception the moment it touched it, dissolving his senses as if they never existed.

It was as though the lake had become a forbidden zone within the array.

The only thing he could hear was that faint raspy voice, which he was now sure belonged to Yan Yue.

Even from afar, he could feel her desperation.

***

"~~Mmm~~"

Ninefold Yin Lock Dew was really something else. Despite having an iron will, Yan Yue couldn't control her moans anymore.

Her body was already so sensitive that even the touch of water made her tingle with mortal pleasure she had never felt before.

Her entire physique was imbued with a pinkish hue that could make anyone who looked at her feel ashamed. Not to mention her breasts, which were being molded forcefully in her jade hands wantonly.

"~~Mmm~~"

It was such a sight that could make any man erect.

Oh, how her cursed flesh betrayed her now, every droplet that slid down the valley between her heaving breasts felt like a lover's cruel tongue, every ripple of water against her thighs like greedy fingers prying her open.

Yan Yue hated it, hated how her hips rolled involuntarily toward nothing, chasing a phantom touch, how her core clenched and wept for violation she both craved and despised.

'W-why isn't it working... what should I do?'

Although the scene was getting more and more passionate with her sway of body, Yan Yue on the other hand was at her wits' end.

She already begun to realize that she couldn't stop her lust anymore. She might even lose her rationale at any time.

As Old Man Xuanji said, this forbidden poison had been within her for too long. It didn't take long for it to penetrate her body and soul.

Now, unless a Nascent Soul overhaul personally helped her day and night, the only thing she could do was to truly satiate her lust.

Find a man and give her virginity and yin essence to him. Forget herself in carnal desire until all these accumulated mortal desires within her were completely satisfied.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do that.

For one, she hated men due to her situation and didn't have anyone to rely on.

Secondly, if what Old Man Xuanji said was true and she would lose her body and soul to the one to whom she gave her virginity, she would never dare do that.

'Do I really have to… kill myself?'

For a moment, Yan Yue breathed heavily, looking blankly at the mist in front of her. Her hand, which had been playing with her ample bosom to relieve herself, slowly dropped down, leaving them bare.

This time, her nipples were erect and harder than Zhiran had ever seen before. Her breasts looked so soft, as if they might start dripping milk at any moment.

Yet the body that possessed such charm was now considering such a drastic move.

It was such a beautiful tragedy.

'No… I can't let down my sister.'

In the end, Yan Yue couldn't bring herself to do it. In her opinion, that would be a cowardly act.

She had endured so much for so many years, just to throw away her life? Wasn't that also submitting to that old man she hated so much?

'Then let's practice the Heart-Severing Demonic Art, you damn bastard. Once I get out of this situation, you'll be the one I kill with my own hands.'

Yan Yue gritted her teeth and finally decided to ignore the warnings of the previous sect leader, playing right into Xuanji's palm.

But what could she do?

She would still have a sliver of hope if she severed her heart, but if she died… then what?

Just as Yan Yue resolved to push through her ridiculous plan and sever her emotions entirely in exchange for power, a faint voice brought her back to her senses.

"Elder… w-what happened to you?"

Surprisingly, it belonged to a male voice, one she shouldn't be hearing inside the confines of this array.

"W-what?"

For a moment, Yan Yue was confused and looked ahead, only to see Mo Zhiran standing there, looking at her curiously.

His tall figure, handsome eyes filled with endless charm, gazed at her with such deep worry that it instantly tugged at her vulnerable heartstrings, shattering the composure she had fought so hard to maintain.

'No!'

"~~Mmm~~"

In the end, Yan Yue couldn't hold back and let out a shameful moan right in front of her disciple. Her beautiful eyebrows fluttered in endless temptation, her huge bosoms rising and falling dramatically.

If she had already been struggling to control herself while alone before, now, seeing a man brimming with strong yang energy, her resolution slipped away in an instant.

Now, she looked like a slut actively tempting a man to step into the water, embrace her, and play with her body.
