Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 21 21: Now I Feel Like A Villain!

?....

The distant sun started setting as a new day passed away in the blink of an eye, accompanied by some gentle yet cold wind that signaled that Winter was near.

A beautiful moon hung in the sky. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to see it as the moon was hidden behind dark clouds.

Yu Fei was sitting in Xu Shan's room. For some reason, she felt as if she was suffocating in the room. It was so silent that it was torturous.

She didn't try to leave the room the entire day, always remaining suspicious of her surroundings.

Initially, she was still holding out hope that the Celestial Palace was going to locate her whereabouts as soon as they found out that she had been missing.

Unfortunately, her hopes were soon crushed when early in the morning, Xu Shan returned to the room and placed the Aura Ring around her ring finger. She had no idea where he received that ring from, but she did understand its purpose.

It was a ring that could hide her aura, making it impossible for anyone to locate her through any detection method. What was even worse was that she couldn't take off the Aura Ring herself.

Only the person who placed the Aura Ring on her fingers could take it off. Either that, or she needed the help of a Sky Celestial to take off that ring. Unfortunately, both options were impossible to achieve.

The only thing that was worth any consolation was that she didn't have to see Xu Shan's face the entire day! Besides the few moments he spent inside the room in the morning when placing the ring on her finger, he hadn't been in the room at all. In fact, she hadn't seen Xu Shan since the morning.

She could still remember how solemn he looked in the morning when he returned, as if something was troubling him. Finding him so troubled was somewhat pleasing to Yu Fei since it meant he couldn't pay attention to her.

She really hoped that his troubles were because the Celestial Palace sent some people here. Unfortunately, she couldn't be sure.

What was even more surprising to her was that Xu Shan didn't make things too difficult for her. In fact, he had been treating her like a guest. In the morning, a delicious breakfast was delivered to her room. It was the same for lunch.

Despite that, Yu Fei still didn't want to tell him anything.

"He gave me two days. One day is almost over, leaving only a little more than one day..."

Ever since she heard what Xu Shan wanted from her, she had been having a headache. Her head was throbbing. It was the first instance in her life where she felt so helpless.

She couldn't help but think about her elder brother, who always used to tell her that the outside world was more dangerous than she ever imagined. Unfortunately, she never believed him. She always had faith in her strength and the reputation of the Celestial Palace!

She had no idea that the first time she came out of the Celestial Palace to explore the world, she was going to suffer so badly. She was scared, yet she tried to remain strong.

Currently, in another room of the castle, Xu Shan was sitting on a chair in a dimly lit room. His expressions were solemn as he gazed at an unconscious young man near his feet.

Zi Huang stood in the distance with his hands behind his back. He was slightly confused, but he didn't show it.

Right next to Xu Shan, the Book Spirit stood with an intrigued smile on her face.

"Is the dinner delivered to the Saintess?" Xu Shan's calm voice fell in Zi Huang's ears.

Zi Huang nodded. "Just as you wanted."

"Good. You can leave."

Zi Huang silently turned around and left the room, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

He was really curious about what the Third Prince was going to do with the young man. He still remembered the morning. He had just returned from the Emperor's Palace with the items.

For some reason, he felt as if he heard Xu Shan talking to thin air. However, he didn't think too much about that.

It was only when Xu Shan gave him a strange command that he wondered just what was happening!

"I wonder why His Highness asked me to go out and capture a young prodigy with at least a Five-star Celestial Spirit." He had so many questions, but he just did as he was told.

When he returned with the young prodigy after carefully kidnapping one, he thought that he would find out the Third Prince's purpose, but he was still in as much darkness as he was in the morning.

"It's not easy to find prodigies with five-star or higher-grade Celestial Spirits. Every single one of them has been recruited by strong sects or the four major families. This time I was lucky to find one. That too, one who had reached the second grade of Celestial General Realm."

While Zi Huang was talking to himself as he walked in the long empty hallways, Xu Shan finally moved.

He gazed at the Star Mark of the unconscious young man. The Star Mark had five smaller stars inside the Star Mark, which showed that he had a Five-Star Celestial Spirit, which was not weak by any means.

In fact, people with Five Star or higher grade Celestial Spirits were said to be prodigies that were cherished by almost every force!

"This time, I really feel like a Villain." Xu Shan softly muttered before placing his palm over the Star Mark of the young man.

"Feast!"

He had no idea if his Celestial Spirit could understand him yet, or not. However, he was sick of hearing the Celestial Spirit saying only one word all day... 'Hungry!'

He also noticed one more thing this time. The hungrier his Celestial Spirit was, the worse he felt! It was as if both of them were directly connected!

Even though the Celestial Spirit of Devouring didn't respond, Xu Shan could feel that it was awake! A strange, mysterious power surged in the depths of his soul.

Xu Shan felt as if his entire body was filled with this strange power! A dark celestial aura covered his right hand that was placed over the five-star Celestial Mark!
