Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

Chapter 46



46 What could her magic do? Part III

“What should we do, miss?” It was Xiao Chang who could stay calm.

Bai Yu pulled out three hairpins from her hair. She had to thank Xiao Xi for going all out when she helped dress her up to go to the palace in the morning. She also thanked herself for not changing her clothes before going to the anonymous man’s shop.

“Hide this. Use it for self-defense.” At least they were sharp enough for them to use as makeshift weapons.

“Is there anyone outside?” Xiao Chang and Xiao Xi slowly peeked out from the gap in the curtain. They shook their heads as answers.

Strange. Male servants that were guarding her were eliminated, and then she was brought here. But was it just that? What kind of plan was this?

“Where is the forest nearest to the capital?”

“Opposite to the mansion.”

So she was in that forest. And if it was not far from the capital, then that must mean there were no dangerous animals. She should take this opportunity while nobody was outside and risked finding her way back on her own.

“We have to return to the mansion before dark. Be careful.” Bai Yu ignored the look of protest from Xiao Xi. She reached out to open the curtain and surveyed the surrounding, confirming again that there was no one, before slowly getting out of the carriage with Xiao Xi and Xiao Chang following closely behind her.

.....

Bai Yu was not the kind of transmigrated heroine who could easily survive when she was left in the woods. She was the eye candy villainess! There was no way she could walk around, come across a bear, then kill it and eat its meat.

“Which way should we go?”

“We have to leave this area. If there is truly anyone behind this, then that will make them unable to find us. But we should not go too far, or else we’ll get lost,” she explained in a low voice as she sped up her pace.

Antagonists all died because they wasted their time talking. She would not let herself end up like that.

The three carefully walked away from where the carriage stopped at. Bai Yu was certain that there must be someone watching them. At the very least, that person should be the missing driver. She guessed that the intention was to make them get lost in the woods.

And so Bai Yu went along with their plan, taking her maids and walking around aimlessly. While walking, Bai Yu contemplated what was happening. If this was their true intention, then it was merely a warning.

But who would dare warn this Miss Bai Yu?

“Can you climb trees?” While in the woods, being high up on the tree was safest. If this plan did not work, then hiding was another good option.

“N...no.”

Bai Yu sighed.

“Then sit around here and wait.”

“Why don’t we continue walking? In case we find a way out.” Xiao Xi finally regained her wits when she saw her lady’s calmness.

“When we’re in the woods that we don’t know like this, the more we walk, the more we’ll be lost.” It was still daytime, so they could not see the north star. Bai Yu also did not have GPS, so they could not risk it.

“Then what should we do next?”

“Cry.”

“Huh?”

“Let’s fake crying.”

Then Bai Yu sat down on the ground that was covered in leaves mixed with snow. Her slender frame trembled like she was crying hard. Her lips moved to repeatedly shout ‘Help me’ while sobbing without shedding a single tear.

Xiao Chang was puzzled for a moment before kneeling down, acting like she was comforting her miss with an equally frightened expression.

It was Xiao Xi who actually cried out loud. Since birth, she had always been beside her beloved first miss, living comfortably in the mansion. It was the polar opposite to this forest that she had never seen before. She did not know how her miss could suppress her fear, but she could not, so she bawled immediately when her miss allowed so.

While the three women were wailing like they were shocked into a panic. Those who were observing then slowly retreated to report to their client.

The mission was to leave a young lady in the middle of the forest. It was a simple task, yet their pay was excessively handsome. After reporting a success, maybe they could take that little miss as their own Furen.

The two thieves hungrily imagined the pure white skin without any covering.

What could her magic do right now?

The answer was nothing. Then why would she have magic for?

“Does anyone know a flare?” Bai Yu muttered while imagining her red magic being shot into the sky like an emergency flare that she saw in movies from her past life.

“What did miss say?”

“Nothing. You two hurry up before they come back.”

“Yes, miss.”

Bai Yu led her maids back to the track, following the trail of carriage wheels left behind on the ground and snow. She thought of this method after she had collected herself. Though she actually wanted to ride horseback, she did not know how to do it, and she also did not know how to drive a carriage. In the end, she had to walk along the tracks to find her way out of the woods.

Bai Yu chose to send out her red butterfly instead of a beam of light or a flare. She hoped that the person who came across her butterfly would have high enough magic to read its message and know that she was the owner, and could come to help her in time. Bai Yu was afraid that the people who left her there would return, so she had to hurry and find help. That was the most she could do with her magic.

Shortly after leaving the carriage, Bai Yu’s fear came true.

“Where’re you going, miss?”

“None of your business.” Xiao Xi walked in front of Bai Yu, trying to hide her miss from the ogling eyes of those two men. One of them was wearing a male servant uniform from Bai mansion, meaning that he disguised himself as the driver.

“Move. Unless you want to be Bai family’s enemy.” Xiao Chang joined in with a threat.

“Now that Miss Bai’s already here. Why don’t you have some fun with us?” The man continued to make rude remarks. Bai Yu gripped the hairpin she hid in her wide sleeve, hiding the fact that she had a weapon. The men advanced toward the three women without fear.

“Benxiaojie does not like the view of the forest.”

“Then what about the view from beneath us?”

“Ahhh!” Xiao Xi was easily shoved away by the strength of a man. Her small figure stumbled and fell, while Xiao Chang was captured by the carriage driver. The hands that pushed Xiao Xi reached out toward Bai Yu’s multi-layered clothes next, but the villainess could brush them away in time.

She raised her hand, showing red magic fluttering like flames through the hairpin she used as the medium of her magic.

“Are you sure you want to go against a magic user like benxiaojie?”

Seeing her power, they immediately released Xiao Chang. Bai Yu rushed to help Xiao Xi who was still collapsed on the ground. She used her own body to shield the two, red magic burning in her hand. The two thieves hesitantly looked at each other as Bai Yu stared back at them with a threat in her hand, even though the truth was that she did not know what to do at all!

“What’s Miss Bai gonna do with that magic? Entertain us with guqin?”

“But I want that body to entertain me more.”

Bai Yu remained calm on the outside. Damn their mother! She really could only use magic to play guqin like they said.

While still thinking of a way to escape, her two maids suddenly charged at the men. Xiao Xi and Xiao Chang tried to use hairpins to stab them.

“Miss! Run!”

Are you crazy? Was this a test to determine her heroine-ness?!

“Ahhh!!” Xiao Xi who was enduring the pain from falling before was pushed down again. This time, her head hit a stone. Bright, red blood started to ooze from the wound.

“Haha. I guarantee that you’ll like my touch, little miss.” He took the moment that Bai Yu was still shocked by Xiao Xi’s blood and grabbed her arm. She raised the other free hand up and then stabbed the carriage driver in the shoulder.

Her arm was freed, but her outer coat was torn by the grip of the man that had held Xiao Chang. Right now, her two maids were beaten and unconscious.

The bare cleavage appeared to the leering eyes. Bai Yu who had modeled in swimsuits numerous times was not stunned by being in a vulnerable state at all. She raised her hairpin again, not realizing that her magic had faded out the moment she saw blood before.

The two thieves took that opportunity to dart at their target with the intention to capture the slender body as their own. Lust was bright in those two pairs of eyes.

Thud! An arrow flew straight into the man’s eye.

Thud! His other eye met the same fate even before he could scream out.

Thud! Another arrow stuck into his forehead. The man in front of her was swiftly eliminated.

Bai Yu lost all the strength in her body and crumpled down. Her breath was rapid, shocked by the image in front of her. She could not even scream out, or go to check on Xiao Xi, or wake Xiao Chang up.

“Miss Bai, are you alright?”

A gentle voice came with the warmth from the white fur cloak that wrapped around her shoulder. The one who shot those arrows kneeled down in front of Bai Yu without considering his own status. Strong hands wrapped the cloak more tightly, covering up her bare body and keeping it warm.

A drop of tear fell from the phoenix’s eyes. Bai Yu hugged the man in front of her as if she had lost her mind. As if she had forgotten that he was not the same person she had known. But this face, this voice, in the time like this. She needed him so much.
