Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

Even though Bai He had already warned him...

He kneeled down to pick up the small pouch left behind by Bai Yu. Large hands slowly untied its knot to reveal the gift. There were a needle and a spool of black thread inside.

“Heh!”

If he had not kissed her, he would have been indirectly told to learn how to sew by her. In his heart he was frustrated. Feeling both guilt and joy. The corner of his mouth slightly lifted.

It seemed these hands that only knew how to swing a sword would have to start picking up sewing.

“Commander general, sir.”

He lifted his eyes to look at the source of the voice.

“There’s a big trouble.”

.....

Bai He hurried toward him. His dark eyes glanced at the objects in Ouyang Feilong’s hand before turning away in an attempt to suppress feelings with a sense of duty. The lieutenant-general immediately reported the news that would be the true spark for the fight for the Ouyang dynasty’s throne.

“What happened?”

“Taizi had received royal decree to subdue snow bandits that had been raiding villages. The mission failed, and Taizi returned with a critical injury.”

Ouyang Feilong’s appearance was still calm, despite being informed that his eldest nephew was injured and the bandits were at large.

“The Emperor had ordered Qin Wang to continue the mission in place of Taizi, correct?”

“That is correct, sir.”

How could he not know what his older brother was thinking? The more he loved the former Empress, the stronger his unwavering care for the son born from her. In order to protect Ouyang Mingxian, the title of Taizi was given to Ouyang Yongxian, the same way that the current title of Empress was handled.

It was now time to return that title to its rightful owner, and also the time that Ouyang Hongxian had to return the East Palace to its true master. This mission was an opportunity for Ouyang Mingxian to prove himself whether he could display his ability to the Emperor who had cherished him for many years.

“Bring black dragon unit to protect Qin Wang from the shadow. And investigate the source of those snow bandits. Benwang doesn’t think that the raids were just because of hunger during harsh winter.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Take care of everything, and escort Qin Wang back safely.”

“Yes, sir.”

Ouyang Feilong knew where Ouyang Hongxian placed all his love in. He knew what the Emperor wanted to give to him, his younger brother who he had raised like a son. But Ouyang Feilong did not want it... And to repay the goodwill that he could not accept, Ouyang Feilong wished to protect the person his brother loved the most, to the best of his ability. His own nephew.

Ouyang Mingxian.

“Disheveled hair.” The tip of the fan stroked her hair.

“Red, ruddy face.” The tip of the fan stroked along the side of her face and jaw.

“Swollen lips.” The tip of the finger touched her mouth.

“Ho ho ho” The fan unfolded, covering his high-pitched laughter.

Bai Yu forcefully bit Xu Luanle’s finger, venting her frustration.

“Oops.” Xu Luanle immediately pulled his finger away from her mouth. Bai Yu let go of the confusion and uncertainty that had taken over her thoughts while she was running all the way back. She put her hands on her hips and stared at her friend accusingly.

“You fooled me!”

“What did I do, sis?” The culprit laughed. He was still nonchalantly fanning himself, while the other hand tucked a strand of hair behind his ear in an overly feminine manner.

“Back there you made a strange noise and called my name. You knew that there was someone behind me, right?!”

“Huh, you didn’t know?” The sharp eyes emphasized by eyeliner faked a surprise. Actually, it was a hard task for him to notice the magic current of that black dragon.

“You...!!!” Bai Yu bit her lips. She pointed at her irritating friends, feeling herself at the limit of her emotion. In contrast, Xu Luanle continued to calmly fan himself, acting as if he did not know what he had done to anger Bai Yu. He strutted toward her, approaching until his face was next to her ear before whispering.

“Was Wangye’s kiss as sweet as my fake kiss?”

“Shit!”

“Ohohoho”

“Die, you lying snake!”

That day, Master Xu was sent off Meihua residence by furniture. Though he had appliances of varying sizes thrown at him, Xu Luanle was in a good mood all day because of his new makeup look. His friend was set to become Rui Wang Fei, and his sister now had no rival for her position as Qin Wang Fei. There was no one cleverer and more beautiful than this Xu Luanle.

——————-

Bai Yu ordered her maids to clean up the parlor room that was a ruin by her temper, including collecting appliances that were not broken from being thrown outside. This was her first time making a scene in this body, and it essentially made Xiao Xi stop worrying that her miss had changed. The puppy was curious about what happened. Normally, miss would give vent to her about everything that was on her mind, but this time, Xiao Chang stopped her from asking. She said that she felt their miss’s tantrum was different from what she had heard of before.

The two maids let other servants clean up the building while they went to serve Bai Yu as normal. The letter from Ouyang Feilong was handed to Bai Yu who was sitting on her bed and absentmindedly pressing her bruised lips together.

Though the owner of that letter reminded Bai Yu of what happened a while ago, she had to open it up because she knew that the content would have to be the guidance from the Emperor. The handwriting that was largely similar to Ouyang Feilong’s appeared to her. It described the origin of the power, the technique to control the magic current within the body to maintain stability, the technique to control how to absorb magic, and then it finally ended with a message that next time, he would teach her how to utilize this power.

That meant she would have to meet Ouyang Feilong again for another letter.

Bai Yu could only hope that he would assign another person to be his messenger. Right now, she felt both angry and indignant. After what had happened today, that black dragon probably would not want to see her face ever again. He must think that she was a shameless woman who let two men kiss her!

Even though the truth was that he was the first and the only one who had kissed her.

She came from the world that kissing was seen as normal. It was a usual occurrence, even, in her line of work. She might be shameless to admit that she never minded it at all. And even after being in this body, her personality and habit would not be changed so easily.

Bai Yu was not angry with Ouyang Feilong at all, she was only surprised at the thought that if the person who kissed her was not Ouyang Feilong but Xu Luanle or any other man...She would not allow it.

Bai Yu was not sure why she had that thought. It might be because she felt guilty that her closeness with Xu Luanle caused a misunderstanding between her and him again. Although she wanted to be a good and proper woman in his eyes, she ended up disappointing him again and again.

Worry made Bai Yu sleepless that entire night. It was the first feeling of unease caused by herself and not the fate that threw her into this world. It was as if Ouyang Feilong was her only exception. Interactions between Bai Yu and Ouyang Feilong never happened in the series that she knew. Or was he the person the fate goddess told her that she never had the chance to meet?

If that was true...then she would try to start over. Should she?
