I Picked Up a Villain.

Mo Lei is a body cultivator from a down-and-out sect. Reduced to doing hard labor at the docks, he even gets stiffed on his wages.

On his way to collect what he's owed, he steps on a villain lying sprawled on the ground.

Xiao Wuyuan is the villain in a cultivation novel where the protagonist is a certain popular-site hero. He's just finished the scene where he gets stabbed through the heart with a sword.

But villains aren't allowed to die so quickly and cleanly.

So he can only lie by the roadside, horribly disfigured, both legs crippled, meridians severed, and wait to die...

Instead, some silly fool steps on him and carries him back to his sect. From then on, he keeps him close, moved by his indomitable spirit and the way he keeps getting taken advantage of.

The spirit beasts he works so hard to hunt are traded for spiritual herbs and medicine, only for them to be withheld and skimmed off.

He escorts a young master home, only to be falsely accused of abusing him and taken into custody.

No, he gets so mad he comes back to life!

Xiao Wuyuan simply can't stand it. He can't keep watching this.

Then he repairs his legs and appearance, rebuilds his meridians and restores his cultivation, creates mechanical puppets, and accumulates wealth...

When Mo Lei wants to temper his body and improve his cultivation, he goes looking for heavenly treasures.

When Mo Lei wants to find his fellow disciples and revive their sect, he robs the rich and powerful, snatches the protagonist's opportunities, and hoards resources.

When Mo Lei wants to see every mountain and sea, he builds a mobile paradise...
