Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

Chapter 120

120 Pretty ripped...but no! She would only marry the man she loved! Part I

At first, she had intended to avoid using her absorbing ability with Bai Hua. Furthermore, she also held back from using martial arts since the heroine was much frailer than her. Bai Yu planned to provoke her into using her magic until she ran out of strength.

But now that she was aggravating, the villainess would no longer care about fairness!

Why couldn’t Bai Hua let her be an eye-candy villainess? Did she really want her to act evil?!

Bai Yu made a face as she darted close with her martial arts. Her left hand grabbed the guqin, and her right hand conjured a black sword to swiftly cut the ribbons Bai Hua was so proud of.

In the blink of an eye, the white figure of the first miss of the Bai family reappeared on the other side of the stage.

Confusion washed over the audience. They could not catch her movement at all!

“She knew martial arts...” Amidst the silence, Ouyang Wenrou’s murmur was clearly heard by everyone. Bai Yu turned her head toward the man who left a patient to watch her competition. Her face was calm and indifferent as she looked at him, standing in front of the curtain that hid his older brother.

“Heh!” Bai Yu could not help but turn her gaze to the sound from behind the veil.

“So it’s not just the Yue family’s daughter. Miss Bai Yu also trains in martial arts as well...”

.....

“On top of that impressive magic...I can’t believe she knows martial arts too.”

“Miss Bai has broadened our horizons this year!”

Actually, there’s Xu Peipei too... Bai Yu internally added. And when she glanced at the said person, she was given a grimace. As a loving brother, Xu Luanle lightly patted the back of her hand.

‘Next time, I’ll hold a grand opening event like this for you. Sounds good, sis?’ Reading his lips, Bai Yu almost could not suppress a laugh.

Luckily, Bai Hua moved, and so Bai Yu’s attention was pulled back to her, and she could successfully stifle her laugh. Her peach blossom eyes were full of determination. Hasn’t she given up? “If you give up now...”

“Chance doesn’t come by so easily. I want to fight until the end, sister.”

“Mm...” Bai Yu nodded. “To respect your resolve, jiejie won’t hesitate.”

“Meimei won’t hold back too.”

Do you still have anything left to hold back? Oh, dear. An eye-candy villainess like her should not look down on others... Bai Hua not giving up easily was a good thing for her, anyway. Now she could end the performance with what she had prepared. I hope you’ll still have magic left until then, dear sister!

Bai Hua did not stop wielding her ribbons like whips, and Bai Yu was still steadfast with her guqin. She had to give Bai Hua credit where credit was due. Normally, women were trained to use magic for performances, yet Bai Hua could adapt it to fit this action scene.

As for her, Bai Yu had trained in martial arts and had been through life-and-death situations before. Using magic to fight was familiar to her, which was the total opposite to Bai Hua. This might be cheating, but she had been trying to push Bai Hua to perform in the style that was more favorable for her. Today was her day. It was the day for her performance, not for any silly competition! Bai Hua and Fan Lu were both mere extras.

“Hmph!” She made a sound of contempt when Bai Hua tried to use ribbons to pull on her arms and legs again. Bai Yu adjusted the grip on her guqin, and her fingers were on the strings. She was going to cut those ribbons into a million pieces.

Thrum!

Twang! A string snapped, flicked, then cut into Bai Yu’s finger. Blood oozed out. The wound was quite deep since she had put in a considerable amount of strength and was careless. Bai Yu pressed her lips together tightly. Her hands started trembling, out of control. She knew she was afraid of blood, and she had always been aware of it. But this was not the time for that at all!

Bai Hua paused when she saw that Bai Yu was injured. Silence took over once more. No one could clearly decide whether the competition must be halted or not. There had never been a case of injury on the stage before.

Silence continued, but not for long. The tune of the same song Bai Yu had played in the morning round suddenly sounded from the side of the stage. The audience turned their eyes toward the source of the music that made their hearts race again. Right there, a girl with a pale face in dark blue clothes was smiling at Bai Yu as her fingers continued their dance on her guqin strings.

Miss Fan Lu? That smile... Did she mean that she wanted the competition to continue?

“Since the string of jiejie’s guqin has snapped, will it be alright if jiejie asks to compete with you using something else?” There was no official judge in this round. Bai Yu thought that it would benefit her the most if she asked Bai Hua in front of the crowd like this.

If Bai Hua accepted, then she would be able to save herself. But if Bai Hua refused, then she would undeniably lose.

She had formally announced from the start that she would be competing with her guqin, but because she was too forceful, she could no longer use it for her performance...There was no choice but to forfeit.

“Jiejie doesn’t have to be so stiff. There’s still much that meimei has to learn from you.”

Their eyes met. “Good.” At least the heroine was not overly hungry for victory.

Bai Yu used the dancing skills she had learned from her former life. At the same time, Bai Hua started moving along with Fan Lu’s guqin rhythm. A large group of butterflies formed on the stage and flew around the area. Similarly, lotus petals fell from above like snow.

Two beauties were dancing amidst the dark atmosphere.

Bai Hua started using her ribbons again, and though Bai Yu could do the same, she was too prideful to use something that would make her look similar to Bai Hua. This time, she used a magic sword to protect herself from the ribbons that were still trying to take hold of her.

Despite being trained to fight with a sword, Bai Yu was moral enough not to attack Bai Hua directly. And so, their battle was truly a fight between two beauties. They danced to the melody without stopping, both alternating between attack and defense. Even with weapons in their hands, the image that appeared to the audience was no different from a performance that had already been practiced over and over again. The music from Fan Lu further roused the audience until they could not sit still.

A cheer was heard from the front row first. Then, shouts followed. Shouts and cheers resounded within the performance hall as Bai Yu and Bai Hua continued their swift movements. Many times, the sword would almost graze Bai Hua, letting her know that the other person was greatly holding back against her.

Her breath was turning into pants. She had lost quite an amount of both strength and magic. However, Bai Yu was still smiling without a drop of sweat. Bai Hua did not want to admit defeat here. As long as she could stop Bai Yu’s movement... as long as she could do that, she would be willing to stop before completely wearing herself out.

Bai Yu frowned, watching Bai Hua’s reaction. What did the heroine want to do? And what should she do next? Now that she could no longer use her guqin, her plan was already ruined.

“Ah!”

Too lost in thought, Bai Yu was finally captured by the black ribbons. Her arms were held against her body. Bai Yu tried to find a way to escape, but it seemed that Bai Hua had poured almost all her magic into them. The restraint was extremely tight.

The sound of the guqin stopped as the performance ended.

She stopped struggling, then straightened her back and lifted her chin, eyeing Bai Hua, who was walking toward her with a sweat-streaked face. “You...”

Bai Yu raised a brow. “So this is all you can do?”
