Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 223 233: False Love

The Martial Alliance Leader nodded, not fully grasping the implications of Yan Xu's words. He believed that Yan Xu was simply expressing his determination to fight and protect the town. Little did he know that Yan Xu's true intentions were far more sinister.

As the preparations for battle continued, Yan Xu made his move. Under the guise of training, he approached the girl with the physique suitable for Dual Cultivation. However, since he didn't want to have a fallout with the Martial Alliance, he didn't force her.

Moreover, he was confident in his ability to charm any girl. He believed that it was easy for him to win her over. The book was even more effective when the woman was willing after all.

He slowly tried to close the distance between the two while training her, even subtly touching her hands and waist in the name of correcting her posture while teaching her some decent moves.

He was also slightly surprised to find out that the woman was completely ignorant to battles. She didn't have any fighting skills, which made him wonder how she even reached this level of cultivation. Then again, she was the daughter of the greatest alchemist of this world, so he thought it was just because of the pills.

While everyone was preparing for the battle that was going to decide their fate, Yan Xu was spending time with the Martial Alliance Leader's daughter.

Seeing the two, many people understood that he was interested in the girl. They even found it to be a good couple, hoping to attend their wedding in case they were to survive the coming battle.

"Looks like your little brat has caught the attention of that guy. I should've brought my daughter as well. You've caught a good son-in-law."

Inside the High Level Meeting of Martial Alliance, many people congratulated the Martial Alliance Leader while expressing their jealousy.

However, the old man didn't respond to the bemused words of the others. "For that, we'll first have to survive the battle. Or we might all die on the battlefield instead of attending any wedding. This will be the end of this world."

Although he showed his tough exterior, he was slightly happy inside as well. His daughter had been taken at a young age. Since then, she'd been kept as a hostage by the upper realm. She hadn't seen much happiness in her life until she was freed by Xu Shan.

The old man felt that it was good if his daughter could open her heart and even if for a short period of time, could experience love.

Thinking about the Girl's past, he couldn't help but think about Xu Shan, wondering where that being was.

Xu Shan could solve their troubles with a flick of their finger, but he had refused to do so, instead opting for a promise of returning after a certain time. As long as they could survive until then, he was going to help them. Unfortunately, the old man knew that he didn't have time to wait.

If he was to wait, by the time Xu Shan returned, this world was going to be nothing but ruins. He didn't realize that the person was right in his town, watching everything akin to a god from above.

Outside the barracks, Yan Xu used his charm and charisma to win the girl over, seducing her with his words. While she was with him, she could often be seen laughing. In that moment, the seriousness and the pain of her past couldn't be found in her eyes.

Minutes turned into hours, and Yan Xu and the girl grew closer. He showered her with affection and attention, making her believe that he truly cared for her.

While the girl was sitting tired after practice, Yan Xu sat next to her, placing his hand over hers while pretending to not even realize it. The girl felt blood flush her cheeks as she looked into his eyes, feeling a connection she had never experienced before.

"You know, it's so crazy," Yan Xu said after some time.

"What is crazy?" the woman asked, slightly curious as she wondered what Yan Xu was talking about.

" It's only been slightly over a day since we met, but I feel like I've known you all my life. The moment I spent with you, every single second felt so precious. I don't know what the outcome of the battle will be."

The man took a brief pause before continuing, "I don't even know if I'll return alive, so I thought I should tell you right now. I've fallen for you and I know that's crazy."

Even Lin Mei who had been accompanying him couldn't help but roll her eyes. "As if she'll be stupid enough to believe you this soon. You should've taken longer and built a bond first."

Unfortunately, the girl next to Yan Xu couldn't hear her.

Contrary to Lin Mei's expectations, the girl's eyes didn't reveal disgust at the confession. Instead, she was like a girl who had never expected this. Her heart was beating fast at this moment.

She had never experienced love, except the love of her father. No one had ever made her feel important and needed like this.

Yan Xu watched as a mix of emotions played across the girl's face - surprise, confusion, and a glimmer of hope. As their eyes met, she could sense a connection, a spark that seemed to transcend language and cultural differences.

Yan Xu knew that this was the moment. He moved forward, ready to kiss her and take the next step. The woman also closed her eyes, expecting it.

Unfortunately, the kiss she was expecting didn't come. Instead, she heard the sound of hasty footsteps.

She opened her eyes, finding Yan Xu's back facing her. He was looking in a particular direction, oncoming ships visible in the distant horizon.

The Martial Alliance leaders could be seen running to various posts to inform everyone that the enemy was here.

Yan Xu's lips twitched at the timing.
