Stuck in a Chinese novel

Wei Jun kept thinking when he came to the dungeon. The nature of the quest. It never said to stop the awakening of the banished princess or kill her, fight her, defeat her, or anything related to her.

All he had to do was escape with something called the 'Wand of the Damned'. He had no idea how to get it or where to get it from but what he was sure of was that he could get from the tomb.

But the requirements bugged him. Everything was so confusing. The keys, the fruits, the golden keys he found at the catacombs, and finally, the sacrifices.

Wei Jun finally understood what was required. What he needed to do. Hence, "Go ahead. Wake her up."

"What?" The crown prince was taken aback by what Wei Jun said. If he was there to stop the witch from waking up, why would he let him waker her up?

But, did he care? Did he have to care? Perhaps Wei Jun simply wanted to see how it would be done and was confident he could stop the witch princess.

"Haha." The crown prince chuckled as he picked up the fruits and the keys at his feet and said, "As you wish."

If Wei Jun thought he could stop the witch princess, then that presumptuousness was going to cost him his life and the lives of others.

The crown prince walked towards the sarcophagus and placed the keys and the fruits in the three slots on it. However, he noticed three gems on top of the object where the head of the person inside was supposed to be. Only two of them were sparkling red but one of them was transparent.

He couldn't tell what it was because there was no mention of such a thing. To him, the sacrifices were only supposed to mark out the correct path and since they could sense her presence anyway, sacrifices weren't needed.

He ignored that since the requirements to open the sarcophagus were met and...

Boom!!!

"Kugh!"

Wei Jun grunted and used his full strength to plant his feet firmly in the ground to protect himself, however, no matter what he could, the power that was emitting from the open sarcophagus wasn't something he could contend against.

His eyes wide, he couldn't comprehend the evil desire in that power. And that desire attracted him. The desire to destroy and the desire to bring chaos.

'Chaos.' Wei Jun couldn't help but mutter inwardly as the lid of the sarcophagus began to rise until it was well above ten feet in the air. Wei Jun looked around and saw the grandmasters he had brought with him on their knees.

Their hands were covering their ears and they were muttering something Wei Jun couldn't tell. However, Wei Jun was sure of one thing.

They were losing their minds. Very, very slowly.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Wei Jun returned to look at the laughing crown prince who seemed so ecstatic as if all his heartfelt desires were about to be granted.

Wei Jun could only shake his head.

"OH PRINCESS! WELCOME! WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THE LIVING! I, YOUR LOYAL DESCENDANT, HAVE COME TO BRING YOU BACK TO THE WORLD SO YOU CAN ONCE AGAIN LET THE NAME OF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY BE KNOWN TO THE WORLD!"

Wei Jun couldn't help but shake his head at the long maniacal speech once again. 'Run away dude.' Wei Jun couldn't help but say since the third gem wasn't alighted yet.

As expected, what appeared out of the sarcophagus was a withered skeleton with corroded flesh, covered in rags and bandages all over. Wei Jun couldn't help but take a step back as the hollowed eyes looked around, passing over him briefly.

As for the crown prince...

"Huh?" He suddenly stopped laughing and looked at the thing that had come out of the sarcophagus in confusion. He looked at her before he tried to remember the details once again before he looked at her once again.

The beautiful woman who was supposed to be the imperial princess was nowhere to be seen. All he could see was a skeleton covered in rags.

"What the hell is this?!" He asked in anger.

Wei Jun, on the other hand, decided to answer the poor man's question.

"Why do you think there were three sacrifices?" Wei Jun asked.

"What?" The crown prince turned to ask Wei Jun, exposing his back to the skeleton mummy.

"Why do you think there were supposed to be three sacrifices?" Wei Jun asked again. However, before the crown prince could reply after mulling it over, he suddenly felt movement from behind but before he could react...

"Kugh!"

He lowered his head to look at the hand that had appeared through his chest, holding his still beating heart that slowly slowed down beating before it finally stopped by the time the crown prince slowly turned to look at the being that had killed him and all he saw was nothing but hollowed darkness before his life left his being.

As soon as it did though...

Wei Jun hurriedly covered himself in Death Qi, as much as he could, as the purple and dark ethereal power floating in the air spread throughout the surroundings.

"AAAHHH!!!"

The three grandmasters began to yell and scream as they couldn't bear the pressure anymore, or to be more accurate, their minds couldn't, and they succumbed to the realm of insanity immediately.

Even Wei Jun could feel his emotions in a flux as his desire to kill and conquer, to see everything destroyed and burn in chaos enhanced by a great degree.

But, the Death Qi was protecting him a lot, to the point that he could bear those. However, others couldn't. He was sure no human would be able to resist this much evil. He had never see evil amalgamated to that point.

There was resentment in that power. There was nothing that depicted the helplessness of the being that was slowly constructing from a withered skeleton to a beauty whose mere looks could captivate even gods themselves.

There was nothing like that, not even anger. There was a simple desire to be... insane.

Her insanity was what made her unique. Evil.

[And she's in perfect control of it]

[I wonder where a woman of such potential came from?]

Wei Jun had no comments to those questions as he was too busy trying to hold on to his mind and not give in to the immense insanity around him.

Suddenly, however, it all ended.

"Haa... Haa..." With loud gasps, Wei Jun took deep breaths as his knees were barely able to support his weight. He managed to remain standing on his two feet, but no matter what, his body was on the verge of falling apart.

"You can control it." Wei Jun heard a sweet and sugary voice right near his ears as the whispers of the voice that hypnotized his senses flowed into his ears.

He raised his head only to find a woman he could only describe as beautiful, the word itself, in front of him.

She had pitch black hair flowing down her body until they ended just below her knees. She wore a top of gold and white blend that only covered her chest while revealing her shoulders and navel. Her lower garment consisted of a long slitted skirt that exposed her thighs and long legs but covered everything from behind.

Her skin color a milky blend that perfectly matched with her choice of dress colors and her features warm, her red lips adorned with a smile, her nose delicately carved, and..

[Damn]

[Those are some eyes]

Eyes that had different colors to them. Especially her irises. One of her eye was just pitch black like that of a normal human but the other one was purple with a look as if stars were embedded in that eye.

The most peculiar thing about her was that she was more of a westerner.

Wei Jun couldn't take his eyes away. But looking at her, if one thought Wei Jun was captivated by her beauty, then they couldn't be more wrong.

No.

Wei Jun felt only one thing as he looked at her beautiful visage that rivaled his own mother from his first world.

Fear.

"You're going to make me blush if you keep looking at me like that."

Each word sent shivers down his spine. It wasn't just because she was strong. Nor was it because Wei Jun was afraid.

Familiar.

Each and every word sounded familiar because the voice of the person speaking was familiar as well.

He couldn't tell. No matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't think of the person who that voice belonged to.

But what made his heart freeze was the very fact that this person was someone around him. Someone he never noticed, or perhaps failed to notice.

Whatever it was, one fact was clear.

That person was living right under his nose and he had no idea.

"Don't worry about it." The woman's hypnotizing voice once again flowed in his ears, snapping him out of his daze as he looked at her, her eyes that pulled him in.

Once his attention was on her, she said...

"Give me something to eat, will you?"
