Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness

Chapter 241: Chapter 241- Ryuk's Challenge

"Grandma?!" Jenny's eyes widened in astonishment as she caught sight of the figure that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, possessing womanly curves, deep and captivating eyes, and cascading hair that gave her an otherworldly aura in that particular location.

"You are still alive?" Lady Yu, with a perplexed expression, narrowed her gaze as she stood enveloped in an intense aura that almost obscured her presence in the darkness of the night. However, a subtle hint of moonlight highlighted her beauty, which seemed to be accentuated by the frown and confusion she felt for the man's well-being.

"It shouldn't be that surprising, considering the fact that you had already arranged such a warm gift for my welcome, Lady Yu." The voice coming from the jade pendant sounded amused, with a hint of sarcasm in its tone. The sound reverberated in the dark room where only two figures were present.

One woman had trembling pupils and a nearly paralyzed body, looking with a barely controlled expression towards another woman who stood elegantly.

Only half of that woman's face was visible in the moonlight, yet even that seemed to glow as her lips curled with a chilling voice. She directed it towards the individual on the other side of a jade pendant and said, "Insect, you may have survived this time, but remember, your fate is meant to be crushed under my feet."

"Huh? Weren't you the same woman who ran away after just seeing this insect's eye color?" The unexpected words from the woman, despite her high position in upper town, caught Ryuk off guard but soon his voice reverberated with increased intensity as he channeled a significant amount of Qi for the message.

The jade pendant started to crack from the strain of the energy being used.

"....where are you?" In an instant, woman's strength covered the entirety of the Jade Dominion as her energy extended throughout the continent, breaking through all obstacles. She detected the energy signatures of all individuals present on it, alerting several powerful hidden cultivators and Empress bodyguards.

Everyone became aware of this surveillance.

However, she was not able to detect the small insect she had just referred to.

Though it may appear that there were no changes in the surroundings but the mere wave from her body had already caused everyone to turn their attention to the Celestial Phoenix Order, attempting to understand the reason that even made the matriarch herself take action.

"Why are you wasting time? It's clear that you have the ability to find the man with the jade pendant in Lower Town without any difficulty. I am here, alive and reaching out to you, which means I have discovered the Aetherium Bomb hidden within him. However, you appear to be dragging your feet.

Allow me to make a guess." As each voice reverberated through the room, exposing the layers of the woman's secretive scheme, her hand involuntarily clenched and a frosty glint flickered in her eyes. Soon after, another icy yet taunting voice chimed in as if saw through her very being, "You are just a soul projection without a physical body."

"You will die a death that will remain a haunting memory even in your afterlife. Remember this." Lady Yu's powerful energy surged out of her body, creating a sudden Tsunami of internal energy that prompted everyone inside the celestial Phoenix's main palace to rush towards the room as they recognized the return of their matriarch from seclusion.

Yes, it has been 2 years since the matriarch of the Celestial Phoenix Order entered seclusion to break through to another level.

Suddenly, her energy signatures have caused everyone to become aware of her arrival once again.

Unbeknownst to them, it was actually her soul projection that had arrived after sensing turmoil within her granddaughter's body.

This projection had come to find out that the man she was waiting for had arrived, only to be slaughtered here.

"How about we make a bet?" the voice from the other side boomed, indicating that the woman was likely restricted from leaving the upper town or from directly attacking him, even after he revealed his location.

'....' Lady Yu's eyes bore into the crumbling Jade pendant, which dissolved into green dust under the illuminating moonlight. Her expression was laid bare as the man spoke with a menacing tone, echoing through the night.

"Today's words will mark the beginning of your fall—into tears, cries, and screams, amidst the stench of blood. You will see nothing else, Yu Shao-Yan but me and me alone...."

"...." The woman's gaze remained fixed on the speck of dust particles from the pendant flowing in the air as they disappeared. Her teeth were gritted because of the words that threatened to destroy and deplete her to a level where she would be insignificant to someone like him.

"G-grandma?"

The sudden sound of a voice made the women's eyes shift to the young woman lying on the floor with wide eyes. After gaining clarity in the moment, Jenny realized the voice belonged to none other than that man.

Even though her body was currently paralyzed due to sudden shock from realizing he was still alive, a sensation around her neck made her grit her teeth and ask, "Was that Ryuk Von Selvius?"

Even after recognizing the voice, Jenny wanted to know if it was true that the man was someone other than Ryuk.

"Do not tell this to anyone, especially that catkin or others," the projection said before it started to disappear, its energy fading away in a certain direction until it completely dissipated.

"....So, it was really him." Jenny blinked in disbelief as she saw her grandmother leaving with cold eyes, then folded her legs and tried to comprehend the situation she was in.

'He remembers,' the first thing that came to her mind was that Ryuk had remembered everything, given the fact that he knew how Carlien had tortured her.

"What should I do?" She sat there alone, feeling some relief as her body became more active. She pondered her next course of action, with a lingering fear that he would come after her.

"I need to speak with mother!" she exclaimed, attempting to lift herself up but stumbling. She knew she needed to inform her mother and the world about the arrival of the man who seemed to be a threat to her family.

Jenny was certain that he would come after her family once again, especially after he had threatened and made a bet with her grandmother. It seemed inevitable that they would clash once more.

'I need to kill him,' Jenny thought to herself as she finally regained control of her body. She stood up, placed her hands on her knees, and made her way towards the door with a determination to launch the first attack.

Unlike the previous time he had killed her family, she wasn't strong enough to go against him. But this time, she had everything - the power and support of her family, while he was nothing more than a prince from a small continent.

Jenny stood and glanced towards the window of the room before leaving with a tense expression, showing her frustration and anger. She was determined not to have the same fate as before, while her hand rubbed her neck, remembering some old memories.

"This time, I will kill you Ryuk."
