Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change-Chapter 129
Chapter 129: Alice Wuyue
When the auctioneer announced that the client did not require money, the frenetic bidding in the hall began to subside slightly.
However, no one was surprised. A treasure like the Final Revelation of Divine Revelation was truly beyond monetary valuation.
Curiosity filled the room. Could the client be a descendant of the Wuyue Clan, thought to have vanished for nearly 600 years?
At that moment, a gray-haired young girl appeared on the auction stage.
Her shoulder-length gray hair shimmered faintly as though bathed in moonlight. Her exquisite features resembled a porcelain doll, and her crystalline eyes sparkled brilliantly. Dressed in an elegant gown, she looked like a maiden blessed by the moon goddess herself.
Her presence immediately captured the attention of everyone in the room.
“The Wuyue bloodline…” Qin Xian murmured, his eyes narrowing.
This ethereal quality of gray hair was unique to the descendants of the Wuyue Clan. The faintly glowing strands alone were enough to confirm her identity.
“Greetings, esteemed lords of the Dragon Empire. I am Alice Wuyue, a descendant of the Wuyue Clan and rightful heir to the Wuyue Kingdom!” Alice spoke with a cool gaze and a melancholy aura that was hard to describe.
“Alice… a descendant of the Wuyue Clan!”
“Unbelievable! Even after 600 years, this bloodline survives!”
“Where have they been hiding all this time?”
The hall erupted in murmurs of disbelief. The once-illustrious Wuyue bloodline, thought to have vanished, had indeed endured.
The attendees scrutinized Alice, who was both a descendant of the Primordial Bloodline and a member of a cursed family.
The descendants of Primordial Families were blessed by Divine Revelation, and their awakened professions were almost always exceptional. S-rank was the bare minimum, while SS-rank was typical. Even SSS-rank awakenings rarely surprised anyone.
Take Qin Xian, for example. When he awakened his SSS-rank profession, the world was astonished but not shocked. After all, the Qin family, as a Primordial Family and the holder of the Leo Final Revelation, was expected to produce individuals of such caliber.
The Wuyue Clan, however, was an anomaly. Despite descending from the Wuyue Saintess, none of her descendants had ever awakened a profession above S-rank. Most were limited to A-rank or even B-rank professions—a disgrace even for ordinary noble families.
The world believed the Wuyue Clan was cursed.
After the mysterious disappearance of the Wuyue Saintess, the Wuyue Kingdom began to decline. Despite possessing the Virgo Final Revelation, the Wuyue Clan’s A- and B-rank professionals were woefully unqualified to wield its immense power.
Ultimately, the Wuyue Kingdom fell, its territories conquered, and the family scattered into obscurity.
The reason for the Wuyue Clan’s “curse” remained one of the greatest mysteries in human history.
Some believed it was because they had disrespected the Divine Revelation. Others speculated that the Wuyue Saintess had angered the Divine Revelation by refusing its invitation to ascend to the Sanctuary of Divine Revelation.
Regardless, the Wuyue Clan had become nothing more than a relic of history.
Yet now, another Wuyue descendant had appeared, bringing with her the Virgo Final Revelation. What kind of impact would this have on the world?
Even more intriguing was Alice’s intention. What did she want in exchange for such a priceless artifact?
Alice glanced at the box in front of the auctioneer, a trace of reluctance flickering in her eyes. Then, she spoke solemnly.
“As the heir of the Wuyue Clan, I hereby announce that our family relinquishes any claims to the Virgo Final Revelation.
“It will be auctioned today, but we do not seek money.
“What we want is support.
“Whoever helps us restore the Wuyue Kingdom will receive the Virgo Final Revelation!”
“Restore the Wuyue Kingdom!”
Alice’s declaration left the hall in brief silence.
The request wasn’t entirely unexpected. The Wuyue Kingdom had been established by the Wuyue Clan, and their desire to reclaim their ancestral land was natural.
However, after the kingdom’s fall, its territories were occupied by a nation called Yulean.
Restoring the Wuyue Kingdom would mean declaring war on Yulean.
While Yulean wasn’t a major power, it wasn’t weak either. The nation was defended by several level-60+ powerhouses, making its conquest a daunting task even for prominent families.
Still, a response came swiftly.
“We, the Eagle Nation, are willing to assist the Wuyue Clan in restoring their kingdom!” declared Adams, the Eagle Nation ambassador.
The Eagle Nation, a global superpower, was second only to the Dragon Empire. Though slightly weaker, it still boasted three legendary powerhouses. With their strength, conquering Yulean would be a trivial matter.
Following the Eagle Nation, ambassadors from other powerful nations also voiced their support. With approval from their respective factions, they were ready to pay any price for the Final Revelation.
“We of the Huangfu family also pledge our support to Miss Alice and will help you restore your kingdom!”

This calm voice belonged to Huangfu Xi, the eldest daughter of the Huangfu family.
The Huangfu family, like the Qin family, was one of the Empire’s elite millennia-old families. Its patriarch, Huangfu Xiong, was the Speaker of the Imperial Parliament and a top-tier figure in the Empire. His authority was second only to the regent and prime minister, making him the Empire’s third most powerful individual.
Huangfu Xiong was also one of the Empire’s five legendary powerhouses, an 85th-level Oracle High Priest.
With the Huangfu family’s power, aiding the Wuyue Clan in restoring their kingdom was undoubtedly within reach.
As one faction after another offered their support, it became clear that no price was too high for the Final Revelation.
Yulean’s fate, astonishingly, was being decided at an auction in the Imperial Capital.
