I Truly Am The Villian

Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Baili Xiao

“What do you two want with me?” Xu Zimei asked with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

“We’re here to convey a message from Senior Sister Baili,” Xue Qianxue said gently, “Senior Sister Baili has always wanted to visit you and is wondering when you might be available?”

“If it were just the two of you, I might consider it, but her, not interested,” Xu Zimei said with a chuckle as he shook his head.

“Can’t you speak more nicely?” Xue Qianxue said helplessly, “We’re just here to pass on a message. Senior Sister Baili has always admired you.”

“Admire me? I’ll believe that when pigs fly,” Xu Zimei thought to himself, amused.

But still, he squinted slightly and gave the sisters a look, saying, “Then tell her to come find me at Goose Southern Peak tomorrow afternoon.”

Feeling the unreserved gaze from Xu Zimei, Xue Mengmeng wrinkled her nose and glared at him, saying fiercely, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman before?”

“Beautiful women I have in spades, but it seems I have yet to try a pair of sisters,” Xu Zimei said with a laugh.

“Big sister, let’s go. We won’t speak with this kind of scoundrel,” Xue Mengmeng said, her face flushing red as she tugged on Xue Qianxue’s sleeve.

“Then remember what you’ve promised, tomorrow afternoon,” Xue Qianxue took a deep look at Xu Zimei and prepared to leave with her sister.

“I watch the Heaven Phenomenon; tonight the stars are brilliant, the moon is like a disc. Why don’t you two stay, we can enjoy the moonlight, drink some wine, talk about life, and get to know each other better? Wouldn’t that be wonderful!”

As Xu Zimei’s laughter echoed behind them, the footsteps of the Xue sisters quickened as they left.

Watching the two leave, the smile on Xu Zimei’s face slowly returned to calmness, and he clicked his tongue, “Baili Xiao, I do wonder what game you’re playing.”

Xu Zimei had always been pondering whether his pursuit of Baili Xiao in his previous life was truly because he liked her.

In fact, it was not; he just wanted to sleep with her.

Any talk of love at first sight is just about physical attraction, real love is something that builds over time.

…

Since the afternoon, Xu Zimei had been staying at the Thunder-attracting Pool, because his Tyrant Shadow Heavenly Thunder attribute refinement was about to be completed.

To be precise, the first stage of Heavenly Thunder attribute refinement was completed, and to refine the second stage, all other five attributes had to be finished as well.

In the fifth zone of the Thunder-attracting Pool, immense lightning formed a web of electricity; silver dragons roared, and purple thunder raged.

The first time anyone entered the Thunder-attracting Pool, they would be stunned by the sight, but for someone like Xu Zimei who had been there often, it was no big deal.

The Tyrant Shadow Blade trembled, a blade light burst forth, and in addition to the mark of the Shadow Dragon on the blade, there appeared another mark of thunder near the hilt.

……

When Xu Zimei stepped out of the Thunder-attracting Pool, he realized he had been inside for a day and a night, and it was just afternoon outside—the time he had agreed to meet with Baili Xiao.

“This must also be considered as the first real formal meeting between the two of us in this life,” Xu Zimei said to himself with a chuckle, walking towards Goose Southern Peak.

The sunset is endlessly magnificent, but it signals the approach of dusk.

In front of the courtyard at Goose Southern Peak, the woman stood with her back to the path up the mountain, on the edge of mid-slope, her gaze fixed on the distant sunset.

The halo of the setting sun hung at the edge of the sky, and today’s afterglow seemed to be much more splendid than usual. Blue sky, white clouds, and the lingering green mountains.

The woman’s long hair cascaded down her back, underneath which she wore a thin, white shirt and a light blue Washing Silk Veil draped over it.

As the veil fluttered in the wind together with her hair, a faint, enchanting fragrance emanated from her. Her skin was as pale as snow, and her eyes brimmed with tenderness and intelligence.

Most eye-catching of all were her long white straight legs. When the light blue Washing Silk Veil fluttered slightly, those exposed legs probably caused the hormones of many to explode.

Unfortunately, there were hardly any people passing by the courtyard in front of Goose Southern Peak.

As Xu Zimei made her way to Goose Southern Peak, the first thing she saw was Baili Xiao.

The latter also sensed her arrival and slowly turned around.

With eyes like gentle waters and lips red and teeth white, from the perspective of an onlooker, Baili Xiao indeed possessed extraordinary beauty.

She was like a fairy fallen from grace, as if even a glance at her was a kind of blasphemy.

“What does Senior Sister Baili want with me?” Xu Zimei asked with a light laugh as she approached.

“Xu Senior Brother might have heard that before, your sister lived in a small mountain village.

Since I’m still new to the Sect Gate and unfamiliar with many things, I wanted to pay a visit to Senior Brother and hope for his care in the future,” Baili Xiao said with a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, slowly continuing, “In fact, your sister should have visited earlier, but Senior Brother was not at the Sect Gate, so I specially sent someone to inquire, and I hope Senior Brother doesn’t mind.”

Xu Zimei’s gaze sharpened, deeply observing Baili Xiao. Many people, after an overnight success, would want to conceal their humble and mundane past.

But Baili Xiao mentioned it quite calmly.

“No problem,” Xu Zimei said as she walked into the courtyard, “Did you come to see me just for this?”

“Previously, my aunt and the Deputy Sect Master arranged a marriage between us. Although I don’t like this kind of arranged marriage, I do not really oppose it,” Baili Xiao followed into the yard, looking at Xu Zimei with a stubborn expression, and asked, “Can I know why you rejected it?”

Xu Zimei looked at Baili Xiao, who was also staring back at him resolutely—there was a sense of dissatisfaction and defiance that is typical of a young girl’s temperament.

“Quite the acting skills,” Xu Zimei chuckled. If not for the experiences of his past life, he might have treated the girl as an ordinary young woman.

“What is Senior Brother laughing at?” Baili Xiao pressed her lips together, speaking with a hint of grievance, “Is Xiao’er really that unbearable?”

Watching the girl’s self-imposed act, Xu Zimei suddenly found it somewhat amusing, as if to say, “All the world is drunk and I alone am sober.”

He shook his head and said with a laugh, “I just don’t want to take someone else’s love, that’s all.”

Baili Xiao was stunned, then quickly responded, “Your sister doesn’t have anyone she loves.”

“Is that so,” Xu Zimei said with a smile lingering on his lips, then called over the guard Zhang Chongtian.

He said slowly, “Help me kill someone.”

Zhang Chongtian was taken aback but still responded respectfully, “Please give your orders, Young Master.”

“Go to Qingyang Village, and kill a young man named Chu Yang.”

Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Baili Xiao’s face immediately changed, and she quickly responded, “Senior Brother Xu, Chu Yang and I are just friends, nothing more. Why kill an innocent man?”

“Why so nervous?” Xu Zimei smiled, raising his right hand intending to touch Baili Xiao’s chin.

But Baili Xiao turned her head away, speaking with displeasure, “Senior Brother Xu, please conduct yourself with dignity.”
