Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 68 Confronting Han Xifeng

?The next day, Wang Jian awoke much earlier than Fen Shuying. He ordered a maid to bring a dress from her chambers.

The maid obeyed his orders and brought this dress. She was dismissed after this task.

Wang Jian shook Fen Shuying and jolted her awake. Once she woke up, she was startled to see the room and the condition of the bed sheets.

Very quickly, the memory of the previous night returned to her.

She immediately stared at Wang Jian staring at her with a perverted gleam in his eyes. She couldn't help but throw a pillow and shout, "…You rascal. You couldn't wait, could you?"

Wang Jian easily deflected that pillow while responding, "Nope. It's all because you are too beautiful."

Fen Shuying suddenly paused as she was about to hurl the second pillow at Wang Jian. She shyly asked, "Really? Do you really think that?"

"Nopes!" Wang Jian responded as he quickly left the room.

Fen Shuying was instantly angered as she threw the pillow at him, but it struck the door.

After Wang Jian was gone, Fen Shuying stood up and immediately stumbled as she fell on the floor. The last night was really too intense for her, and she couldn't even walk straight.

Fen Shuying had to utilize her Qi to suppress this pain and then wear the dress that the maid had brought.

After wearing that dress, she headed out while enduring that pain. She couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Damnit. That bastard is so heartless. It was my first time, but he still did it so roughly!"

At this time, Wang Jian was seated in the grand dining hall, savouring the lavish breakfast spread before him, while Lady Xia sat across from him. A maid was dutifully serving him, refilling his cup with hot tea.

Soon, Fen Shuying entered the room and sat beside him as another maid brought her a plate of food. Wang Jian's eyes lingered on her as she ate, her rosy lips delicately nibbling on the food.

"So, how was your night?" Lady Xia inquired, her voice filled with curiosity. "Did you have fun playing those games?"

A knowing smile appeared on Wang Jian's face as he gazed at Fen Shuying, "It sure was fun. We were so engrossed that we didn't realize when the time passed."

Wang Jian's smile widened as he cast a suggestive look towards Fen Shuying, "It was a night I'll never forget," he said. "We were so engrossed that we lost track of time."

Fen Shuying blushed furiously as she averted her gaze, feeling embarrassed by his suggestive tone. Lady Xia remained unaware of the underlying meaning of his words as she gazed at them with a smile.

"I am delighted to hear that," Lady Xia spoke.

As they finished their breakfast, Wang Jian stood up and said, "It was a wonderful stay, but I should get going now. I have some work to attend to."

Lady Xia smiled graciously, "You're always welcome here. Please visit us again soon."

After Wang Jian's encounter with Lin Feng, he had spent his nights in the company of Kang Huian and Fen Shuying respectively.

On the other hand, Lin Feng's luck wasn't as favourable. He had barely managed to reach the lair of the Miracle Angel Tribe using the Lightning Flash technique.

The tribe's members had treated him with a mixture of herbs and their healing techniques to aid in his recovery.

As he regained enough strength to talk, Lin Feng revealed to Han Xifeng the details of his injuries sustained during the battle with Wang Jian.

Han Xifeng was taken aback by the news of Lin Feng's encounter with Wang Jian, as she had never anticipated such an encounter.

She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled deep within her since hearing about Lin Feng's encounter with Wang Jian. She couldn't help but worry that Wang Jian would come looking for her soon.

The thought of facing Wang Jian filled her with fear and made her nights restless and sleepless. She would toss and turn in her bed, her mind racing with thoughts of what she would do if he showed up at her doorstep.

There is a common saying that suggests dwelling on negative thoughts increases the probability of them manifesting into reality.

This saying turned true in this situation as Han Xifeng received a message on her shadow, indicating that Wang Jian had sought her out.

A sense of foreboding gripped her heart upon realizing that he had indeed come.

Nonetheless, her anxiety was slightly alleviated by the fact that Wang Jian wished to meet her in secrecy.

"I shall take a stroll around the area," Han Xifeng declared, using this as an excuse to excuse herself from her comrades.

It didn't take her long to reach the designated rendezvous, where Wang Jian was waiting for her. As she arrived, a sinister grin spread across his face, causing Han Xifeng's stomach to churn with unease.

An air of nervousness surrounded Han Xifeng as she cautiously inquired, "May I know why you summoned me today?"

Wang Jian's sinister smile remained plastered on his face as he ignored her question, his eyes fixed on her.

"You never expected to see me so soon, did you? Not after our last encounter," he remarked slyly.

"I have no idea what you mea-…"

Wang Jian rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Save your act. After I met Lin Feng that night, I understood your scheme. Before that meeting, I am pretty sure you used a special herb or another artefact to lure that Lord Realm beast near the meeting."

Han Xifeng's face paled as she realized that Wang Jian had figured out her plan.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she protested weakly.

Wang Jian ignored her protests and continued with his explanation.

"While we were talking, your subordinates stuck multiple herbs within the outpost that generated a fragrance only beasts could smell. And using this method, you sent it a signal. As the leader of a region moved, the beasts from its surrounding gathered and thus that beast rush was formed."

Han Xifeng's mind was racing as she tried to come up with a response, but Wang Jian wasn't finished yet.

"I can only guess your motives. It was most likely to bury me to prevent your secret from being revealed. After all, Lin Feng would probably commit suicide once he finds out that it was his dear wife that helped me sleep with another one of his women," he finished speaking with that sinister grin on his face.
