Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

34 Benwang came to learn how to sew Part II

“Benwang came to learn how to sew”

Or...was he referring to that letter?!

“Wangye, you are teasing me.” Bai Yu tried to use her charm against Ouyang Feilong in hopes that he would not be too offended by the content of her letter.

“Miss Bai also teased benwang too.” Ouyang Feilong’s mood became better when he saw the wicked woman attempting to butter him up. She was probably scared that he would punish her.

Thud!

Bai Yu kneeled down. “Wangye please forgive Yu-er!”

How Bai Yu’s evilness disappeared the moment she was in front of him made Ouyang Feilong unconsciously lift a smile. A fool was still a fool no matter when. “Stand. Benwang doesn’t have much time for a fool like you.”

And who wanted any time from you?! Bai Yu sat still. Internally, she started cursing at him.

“I...I got a cramp. Can Wangye please help Yu-er stand up?”

.....

She was lying. Only an idiot would believe that she had gotten a cramp after kneeling for such a short moment. But she wanted to get back at him, so she chose to use this kind of childish trick. There were rumors that he did not like being close to women, and knowing this, she would exploit his weakness as payback.

“If you can’t stand up then just remain there. Benwang will excuse himself now.” After finishing, he turned away without sparing another glance at the beauty.

“...”

When she was an international actress, no one had ever dared to offend her, but now she was completely ignored. Bai Yu picked up a pebble and threw it at the back of the heartless person, but frustratingly, the esteemed Wangye could easily catch it midair.

“You have no fear of being punishment at all.”

“I saved your life!”

“Does that mean you can hurt benwang?”

“But I saved your life!”

“So you dare to argue with benwang?”

“After all, I’m the one who saved your life!”

Ouyang Feilong stepped closer toward the stubborn woman. Bai Yu lifted her chin, looking directly at the man who still donned the dragon mask even when not wearing armor. Right now she was not afraid of him at all, because she had been in the same situation already once.

“Ah! A-a-a-a-a-h!” Bai Yu moved her arm away from his hand that was going to pull her up like last time. Ouyang Feilong watched the foolish woman in front of him make a strange noise as she avoided him like she already knew what he was going to do.

Bai Yu grinned at her small victory. This time she successfully evaded. She would not let him yank her and bruise her wrist like last time.

“Can’t you treat women with a little more care, Your Highness?” She asked as she held out her arm for him to help gently support her up.

“Benwang don’t treat foolish women like you with care.” He rejected Bai Yu’s suggestion as he pulled her arm up the same way as before, though he himself did not notice that more than half of his strength was retrained while doing so. And so this time, there were no bruises on her small arm, still, his strength was enough to make her flow up toward his broad chest. It seemed that Bai Yu had actually gotten a cramp, so when she tried to stand up, she staggered like she was losing balance. Ouyang Feilong reached out to hold her waist without realizing himself.

When they both could stand firmly again, the intimacy made them fall into silence. The villainess suddenly thought to play a prank on the foul-mouthed general. She leaned against his chest, crowding her body to his as she looked up to sweetly ask.

“Then, if I’m no longer foolish, will Wangye be gentle with me?”

Bai Yu tilted her head and waited for his answer.

“Shameless woman.”

Bai Yu scowled at Ouyang Feilong. She stomped her foot onto his with all her strength...Can’t you stop being a foul-mouth for a second? I’m flirting with you here!

“I just want Wangye to have some humor.” She should give up on playing tricks on this brute and hurry to go back to her beloved brother!

“Heh!”

How could he not know that she was faking? Even though that question made his heart race, he still knew that it was merely a woman’s charm. He had seen it all in his palace, had seen so much that he did not want to return to his Rui Wang palace. To him, that place was only for storing beauties his brother sent to tease him and to ease their mother’s worry.

“Benwang came here to discuss with Bai He about the epidemic. Good thing benwang found you.” Wangye, who could feel nothing from Bai Yu’s stomping, answered seriously.

“Then Wangye should come this way.”

Though she had a habit of being fake and wicked, this woman still had an interesting mind. When she saw the change in his demeanor, she immediately understood that he had an important matter with her. He followed the slender figure in white to a small gazebo in the garden next to a quiet path.

“Wangye please continue.”

She politely poured tea that always had been prepared on the table to Ouyang Feilong. Her thoughts about tricks and pranks were left on the path they walked.

“Benwang is the one who forbade Bai He from telling you everything. Because benwang will tell you himself.”

“I understand, Your Highness.”

Her stubbornness and pretense evaporated the moment he began talking. It made Ouyang Feilong compliment her in his thought.

“Benwang had received a royal order to return to the capital. But in truth, there was a report from our informants, and benwang was given a secret mission to catch the people from Da Chu that was trying to spread an epidemic to villagers.”

The silver-eyed man explained the situation matter-of-factly as if he was talking about the weather. Bai Yu calmly listened to him.

“That night, benwang was lured away from the group and gravely injured. Then you came.”

“And that corpse...”

“It was a man from Da Chu that the informant reported about. He was killed by benwang and his corpse was carried away by water. The poison on his body then contaminated the river.”

“Da Yang and Da Chu had no reason for conflicts. If the truth leaked out, it could become the cause of war. That is why Wangye forbade me from finding the cause of the disease, right?”

“It is as you said.”

Truthfully, there were conflicts between the two nations behind the scene, but all of them were secrets that the Emperor did not wish for too many people to know, so he had to come back to handle the matter by himself. Bai Yu being able to understand the situation with so little information made him admire her quite a lot more.

“This must mean that Wangye already knew where the disease came from. Then why did Wangye not stop it before it could spread to another village?”

“At that time, benwang had to keep everything a secret while also helping the villagers at the same time. Originally, benwang let your brother handles finding the cause, but benwang did not expect those from Da Chu to return. They were on a chase when they came across you at the river.”

“I just wanted to help...” She hung her head in guilt that she had interfered with her brother’s mission. The image of a corpse floating in the river and the bloodshed that day...those blood...they were all real...

“Benwang haven’t blamed you at all.” Ouyang Feilong said with his usual calmness, though his tone became much softer. The guilty expression on her face made him smile. She reverted to a kitten again. When he saw her like that, Ouyang Feilong then completely forgot about every wickedness he saw from Bai Yu.

She was wicked, fake, and full of wiles, but there was also something else she had that no other women possessed. From now on he would have to pay close attention to this little devil.

His large hand rested on her head. The warmth from his palm was transmitted through her hair and sent straight into her heart. The fear she had suppressed when she witnessed the fight on the riverbank that day was erased away by his hand, the same hand that had bruised her arm.

The delicate face lifted up and came into the sight of the owner of that gentle hand. Dark eyes met with silver ones, and then Ouyang Feilong said.

“You’re safe, and that’s enough.”

Ah...Is he flirting her back now?
