Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 114 Travelling To Solterra

After receiving the valuable information from Bixi Shuyan, Wang Jian wasted no time in dispatching the fastest messenger bird to deliver it to King Chen.

At first, Wang Jian had intended to take advantage of Bixi Shuyan's vulnerable position and force himself upon her. However, upon learning of her unique abilities, he reconsidered his plans.

If the information she provided turned out to be genuine, it could potentially bring a significant advantage to his faction.

He slowly understood that she might have been a vital heroine for Zhang Fei's rise.

Wang Jian swiftly commanded his subordinates to prepare wagons and carriages for a lengthy journey ahead.

After two hours, Lady Zhuoran returned to the Black Castle, accompanied by a stunning array of foxes.

These creatures were breathtakingly beautiful, each adorned with a coat of fur in a unique and vibrant hue. However, they all shared a distinguishing feature: their silver tails.

It was clear to Wang Jian why Lady Zhuoran's clan was renowned as the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan.

As he surveyed the group, he noticed that only three women were in human form, each possessing the same silver tails as their fox counterparts.

However, there was a notable difference between these women and Lady Zhuoran: while she boasted an impressive five tails, the others had only three.

Meanwhile, the remaining foxes belonging to Lady Zhuoran's clan possessed a mere two tails each.

Wang Jian quickly discerned that only foxes with three or more tails were capable of assuming a human form. And apparently, no male with such bloodline was present in this clan right now.

Well, it made sense as Wang Jian recalled that battle in Qianwei Town where multiple human-looking fox clan members were killed. Perhaps all the men with powerful fox bloodlines were slaughtered that day, or maybe they died while resisting the attacks of the other beast clans who took advantage of Lady Zhuoran's absence.

"These are all the members of my clan," As soon as Lady Zhuoran spoke, she immediately fell to her knees in a submissive gesture, causing the members of her Silver-Tailed Fox Clan to stir in shock.

They had never seen their clan mistress bow down to a human before.

The members of the clan exchanged uneasy glances, whispering among themselves in a flurry of foxlike chattering. Some of them even backed away nervously, unsure of what to do next.

Wang Jian could sense their unease, but he remained calm and composed.

"Rise, Lady Zhuoran," He said in a commanding voice. "I am not here to harm you or your clan. I merely seek your cooperation. You see, I am planning to bring you to a region with even richer spiritual energy."

Lady Zhuoran's voice was devoid of any emotion as she responded, "We are grateful for your offer."

Turning his attention to the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan, Wang Jian instructed, "Would you please assist my servants in preparing the wagons and carriages? I require a private audience with your Clan Mistress."

The members of the fox clan looked at Lady Zhuoran, seeking her approval. She nodded, and Wang Jian pointed them towards his courtyard, "Go in that direction. You will come across my maids."

The fox clan members quickly departed, leaving Wang Jian alone with Lady Zhuoran. She looked at him with a questioning gaze and spoke softly, "May I please see my daughter?"

Wang Jian smiled amusedly and replied, "Of course."

In no time, the mother and daughter were reunited, hugging each other tightly. Lady Zhuoran breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to see that her daughter was safe and well, and that Wang Jian had kept his promise.

Bixi Shuyan, too, felt a sense of relief at the reunion of the mother and daughter.

As Wang Jian watched the heartwarming scene, his mind wandered to Xiao Ling and Mei Yan.

They were in a similar situation as both sides were completely oblivious to the other person's deal with him.

Their brief reunion concluded, the mother and daughter turned to Wang Jian and gave him a subtle nod of approval, silently acknowledging that he had upheld his end of the bargain.

Wang Jian spoke, "Can you please go and help your clan members settle their things in the carriages and wagons. We will be departing for Solterra City soon."

The mother-daughter duo walked towards the courtyard to help Wang Jian's maids set up everything required for this long journey.

As the sun began to set, Wang Jian's imposing Black Castle welcomed a new arrival - the caravan of Meng Xiangyi.

With the City Lord informed in advance, preparations had already been made for Meng Xiangyi to accompany Wang Jian on his journey to Aria City.

Though she was hesitant to leave her homeland, the young woman knew that defying Wang Jian's orders would lead to dire consequences for her clan.

Once Meng Xiangyi had settled in, Wang Jian knew it was time to set out on their journey. Before departing, he dispatched his trusted griffin to deliver a message to the Emperor at the Royal Palace of the Everlasting Mystic Empire, asking for forgiveness for his delayed arrival, as he was bringing an entire entourage along with him instead of traveling alone on his griffin.

The first stop of Wang Jian's entourage was the Royal Palace of the Windhaven Kingdom. They had to pick up Chen Yiyan as well. It was a two day journey on the road.

Once they began this journey, they took four breaks each day and set up a camp in the wilderness near the road.

As they set up camp for the night, he motioned for Meng Xiangyi to join him alone in his tent. When she entered, he fixed her with a cold stare.

"Listen to me carefully," he said, his voice low and menacing. "If you reveal anything about Zhang Fei to Chen Yiyan, I will make sure your clan suffers the most excruciating pain imaginable. Do you understand?"

Meng Xiangyi was visibly shaken, and she nodded quickly.

"Good," Wang Jian said, satisfied. "You're a smart girl. I don't want to hurt your clan. But if you betray me, I won't hesitate to make an example out of them."

The next morning, Wang Jian took Xiao Ling aside as they were packing up camp.

"I have a command for you," he said, his eyes narrowed. "Do not say anything about Zhang Fei to Chen Yiyan. If Chen Yiyan finds out anything about Zhang Fei, I'll make sure that Mei Yan suffers a fate worse than death. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ling stared at him, her eyes wide with fear. "Yes," she said softly.

Wang Jian stepped closer, his breath hot against her ear. "And if you do as I say," he whispered, his hand sliding up her arm, "I'll make sure that you're rewarded."

Xiao Ling shuddered at his touch but didn't resist as he pulled her into a passionate kiss, his hands roaming over her body.

She hated every moment of it but knew that she had no choice but to endure his advances.

When the kiss finally ended, Wang Jian looked down at her with a wicked smile.

"Good," he said.

Later that day, Wang Jian sought out Lady Zhuoran in her tent. As she welcomed him in, he immediately grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his lap.

"Listen carefully," he said, his voice cold as ice. "If you tell Chen Yiyan anything about Zhang Fei, I'll make sure that your daughter, Bixi Shuyan, suffers for it. Do you understand me?"

Lady Zhuoran's eyes widened with fury, but she knew she had no choice but to endure his advances.

Wang Jian kissed her neck while fondling her, causing her to shiver in disgust.

"I understand. So, please, let me go," she whispered, but Wang Jian only tightened his grip.

"Not yet," he said, his lips brushing against her ear.

The two shared some rather intimate moments before Wang Jian finally let her go. He left her tent.

Wang Jian's steps echoed in the silence of the night as he made his way towards Bixi Shuyan's tent. His eyes glinted with a dangerous light, and his lips twisted into a wicked smile.

Bixi Shuyan was sitting outside her tent, lost in thought. When she saw Wang Jian approaching, her heart skipped a beat.

She stood up, her hands shaking, and looked at him with a mixture of fear and defiance.

Wang Jian's eyes gleamed with a wicked lust as he walked towards Bixi Shuyan, who sat alone outside her tent. He had been searching for her, knowing that she possessed information that could threaten his power. He approached her with a sly grin, his fingers itching to touch her.

"I have a message for you," he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "If you breathe a word about Zhang Fei to Chen Yiyan, I'll make sure your mother suffers the consequences. Do you understand?"

Bixi Shuyan trembled with fear, her heart beating frantically in her chest.

Wang Jian reached out and caressed Bixi Shuyan's slender form, running his fingers down her soft skin.

As he touched her, he focused his attention on her four silver tails, which swished and twitched under his fingers. Bixi Shuyan couldn't help but purr in pleasure at his touch, though she despised herself for it.

"Yes, I understand," she murmured pitifully, her eyes downcast.

Wang Jian's fingers continued to fondle her tails, eliciting a soft purr from Bixi Shuyan.

"Actually," he said, his voice dripping with amusement, "I'd love for you to make a mistake so I can have some fun with your mother. But since I have this deal with you, I won't lay my hands on her. But don't forget, this is only if you keep on obeying my orders."
