Aren’t the Protagonist and the Villain Sworn Enemies? [Reborn]

● Overpowered villain gong x overpowered protagonist shou

Blurb:

In his previous life, the villain died by the protagonist's sword. He couldn't understand why he had lost, so with his dying breath, he dragged the protagonist down with him.

As the world fell apart, System 0A6 found the villain and took him back a hundred years, to a time before anything had begun.

It comforted him: [You lost because the protagonist is blessed with fortune and is the chosen one. As long as we work together to steal his fortune, you'll be able to defeat him.]

After thinking it over, the villain readily agreed. This time, he would crush the protagonist beneath his feet and make him suffer every humiliation.

System 0A6 gave the villain a secret manual that contained the method for stealing the protagonist's fortune. The villain nodded and became the strongest person in the cultivation world before the protagonist could.

At that time, the protagonist was still a boy who had just begun to draw qi into his body, and by chance became the villain's junior brother.

The villain looked at the obedient protagonist before him, smiling as he called him “elder brother.” He wasn't fooled by the boy's innocent appearance. He took out the System's manual and began his revenge.

The protagonist's incredible opportunities? Steal them all!

The protagonist's ancient spirit beast? Steal it!

The protagonist's underclothes? …Wrong thing!

The villain thought the manual the System had given him was a little strange. Why did it also require him to hold hands and cuddle intimately with the protagonist? But he could indeed feel the protagonist's fortune slowly draining away.

He gritted his teeth and reached the final step. The villain was certain of victory. Once the protagonist had no fortune left, he could kill him.

The protagonist tilted his head slightly and asked hesitantly, “Is this… Brother, do you want to practice a dual-cultivation secret art with me?”

The villain nodded. A few seconds later, he froze, realizing something was wrong.

…What dual cultivation?

The protagonist's eyes grew darker, filled with complicated, shadowy emotions the villain couldn't understand. He reached out and slowly slipped his hand beneath the villain's clothes. Their breaths mingled, the moment charged with unmistakable intimacy.

The villain: ??? Wait a minute, aren't they sworn enemies? Do sworn enemies do this?
