Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess-Chapter 122
122 Now I’m sure Part I
“Little fool.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” She responded out of habit.
“Can’t you be obedient?”
Bai Yu closed her mouth shut. Her face immediately heated up. Even though that annoyance in the tone was rare for the commander general, she still felt shy instead of angry when scolded by her kidnapper.
Afraid that she would fall, Bai Yu put her arms around Ouyang Feilong’s neck. She could sense without seeing that he was running on the roof. A few currents of strong magic were following them. Not too close, but still not far enough to not irritate Ouyang Feilong.
“You’re...” The annoyance in his voice was even more noticeable now.
“Beautiful, right?” Bai Yu teased.
“Heh!” He did not deny it. Her beauty was indeed the reason he had to rush in and help her get away almost as soon as the hairpin fell out.
You are such a careless lady. He heaved out a sigh when they finally lost the men who had been following. He tightened his grip around the body in his arm as a small payback for someone who was still hugging his neck, oblivious of the commotion she had caused.
.....
“Owowowow,” She exaggerated her shout when she was almost suffocated by him.
Ouyang Feilong escaped into a small room through an open window. He slowly let go to put Bai Yu down on a bed, but the little fool still clung to him while giggling under his coat.
He frowned. Now, he finally started to understand why Bai He kept worrying about his sister while he was stationed at the border. It was because she was like this. Ouyang Feilong peeled her sticky arms off him, then sat down together on the bed.
“Boohoo, Wangye, I’m scared.” 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
He had made her blush with just a few words, and as the villainess who had over thirty years of experience in life, she did not want to admit that he could have such an effect on her. And so, she used the tactic ‘tease and run’ to get back at him.
Then she adjusted the hold of her arms around his neck, snuggling closer. She leaned her head on his chest, despite being covered by a cloak, and rubbed her cheek against the feel of his muscles, all while his hands were still on her waist to keep their balance. She would never dare do this in a normal circumstance, but the piece of fabric that was covering her face gave her a rush of courage.
Ouyang Feilong remained silent and motionless, even when her tone was sweet as honey. Though her vision was robbed, Bai Yu knew that his face was also expressionless. She made a face, frustrated, but had yet to give up. She nestled closer and was pushed away by Ouyang Feilong.
“Wangye...” Her voice was even softer when he showed a reaction. However, before she could predict his next action, a pain in her upper arm caught her attention... He bit her!
“Are you still playing?” A low voice whispered next to her ear before another bite landed on her arm.
Bai Yu flew back so violently that she almost fell out of the bed. Luckily, the other person pulled her back in time.
The cloak was immediately thrown away. Her silver eyes glared at Ouyang Feilong.
“You bit me!”
The culprit smiled. Calling him ‘you’ meant that she forgot herself again. “You teased benwang first.”
“But I didn’t bite you!”
“Then benwang will let you bite back. Is that alright?”
Bai Yu was stunned. She narrowed her eyes. A scowl then changed into an amorous gaze.
“Can I bite Wangye on the lips?”
“Shameless.”
“I thought Wangye was already used to it,” she said as she teasingly stroked his strong arm that was supporting her.
“Oh.” Ouyang Feilong let go.
Bai Yu fell over, tumbling from the bed to the floor.
“Shiiiit!”
“Hahahaha.” This was the first time Ouyang Feilong could laugh out loud. He could not remember when the last time he did so was. What he could remember, though, was the state of the so-called number one beauty falling over from the bed while making a strange noise.
“Truly ugly.” Despite his words, he still helped the ugly woman sit on the bed again. However, it seemed she did not want his help.
Bai Yu brushed his hand away, huffing. But her strength could not beat his, and so she was eventually carried and put on the bed once again with a pout. She pushed her silver strands away from her face to take a better look at the heartless person in front of her. At the sight of him stifling his laugh, she pointed. “You...”
“Benwang did not push you.”
“But you let go of me!” He had predicted what she was going to say, so now she could change her accusation in time.
“It’s you who backed away. And Benwang’s the one who helped you in the first place.”
“But you still let go of me!” There was no existence of gratitude here. She would make him guilty one way or another.
“Benwang’s scared of being bitten by you.” Her jaw hung open.
“What is it? Still want to bite benwang?” He then closed her jaw that was hung open with his hand.
A blush spread over her cheeks again. When did this foul-mouthed man start talking to her like this? And when did she become so bashful?!
“How did you...” No, “How did Wangye come here? Shouldn’t Wangye be at the border?”
Ouyang Feilong arched a brow. She might be shamelessly changing the subject, but he was also willing to go along, lest those red cheeks burst. “Obviously, the commander general would be at the border. But benwang remains in the capital.”
‘The commander general would be at the border’... fake news? Possible. In the time of war, it was natural for the army to release half-truths or outright fake information to misdirect the enemy. She did not look into it much, only listening to Xiao Xi’s report, so she believed that he went with the army like the rest of Da Yang did. Bai Yu nodded to show that she understood his meaning. Strangely, her heart felt full.
“Then, when will Wangye go to the border?”
“Tonight.” Her little heart deflated at his one word.
Ouyang Feilong narrowed his eyes while gazing at the woman who was suddenly quiet. Her ruffled silver hair reminded him of what had just happened. His brows furrowed as his tone turned serious before he could realize himself. “Bai Yu, you should be more careful.”
“Yes?” Still foolish as always.
The Black Dragon sighed. “An unmarried woman...”
“Should not let down her hair in front of men outside of her family,” Bai Yu continued softly. It was hard to guess the emotion behind her tone, especially when her head was lowered, hiding her face from him. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
Ah, he should not be staring at her while her hair was down as well.
“I know. I truly owed Wangye a great debt for Wangye’s help this time.” She did not step out of bed to curtsy, though she still put her hand over the other in her lap, then slowly and elegantly bowed her head.
His brows were pulled together tighter. It had been a while since this little fool last acted deceitfully toward him. Yet, she was now treating him formally, as if mere moments ago she had not been bickering with him without a care for his status.
“What’s the matter?” His voice was soft.
Bai Yu shook her head.
“Talk.” His tone was firmer. Even he himself did not understand how this woman could have such an influence over him.
Bai Yu took in a breath. Then, she spoke while still refusing to look him in the eyes. “Wangye is Rui Wang, the commander general who reigns over Da Yang’s army. Even so, Bai Yu is careless, letting down my hair in front of Wangye. I beg for mercy, please...”
She should be begging for him to marry her into his palace in order to protect her honor. Bai Yu moved to kneel, her head lowering more and more until her forehead touched the mattress.
“Please...pay no heed to this lowly woman.”
