Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

He shouldn't have come here.

In the darkness, Xie Linyuan, dressed in black, stood quietly deep in the corridor, his gaze gloomy as he looked at the bustling front yard.

Red silk ribbons hung all over the room, and even the air seemed to be filled with a festive atmosphere.

In the distance, he could even see Senior Chu's figure. She was giving instructions to a little demon, who had a pair of horns on its head and was carrying a tray when it hurried away.

Xie Linyuan curled his slightly cool fingertips and followed without making a sound.

The little demon was completely unaware that he was following her. She skipped and hopped happily all the way until she stopped outside a door with a brightly colored "double happiness" character pasted on it.

She stood at the door and said to the people inside, "Sister Xiaotao! I've come to deliver something!"

With a creak, the door opened, and Xiao Tao took the things, smiling as she touched the little monster's horn: "Today is Miss's special day, here's some wedding candy for you."

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of wedding candies and stuffed them into the little monster's hand.

The little demon cheered and skipped away, clutching the wedding candy.

A short while later, Xiao Tao also came out of the room and left with a happy expression, as if she had something to do.

Xie Linyuan felt like a ghost, someone who should have disappeared from the world long ago, instead of appearing here.

But if he were to leave now... his feet would feel rooted to the spot.

He wanted to scream, to rush forward and grab her hand, to do everything he had ever thought of but never dared to do.

But the earth pulled him back, preventing him from taking another step forward.

This was a pain completely different from the pain of his family's massacre. He found himself becoming a person again, perhaps... he had actually died long ago.

He stood there for a long time, the desire to see her driving him to give in to his base desires.

Just one glance is enough.

All the red in the courtyard faded in his sight. He slowly walked to the door, raised his hand to push it open, but withdrew his hand at the last moment.

He gritted his teeth and turned to leave before he could regret it.

There was a soft sound of a door opening.

A faint breeze carrying a hint of fragrance reached me first.

Xie Linyuan's breath hitched, and he couldn't help but look up.

Yu Zhen was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, her eyes shining like stars.

She always exudes a vibrant energy, like sunlight and dew, like the essence of all life.

He seemed like a creature living in the shadows, someone who shouldn't be here.

He involuntarily took a half step back.

He clenched his fists, forcing back his questions, and only said, "...I just came to take a look."

Yu Zhen felt a slight heat in her eyes.

They clearly couldn't bear to part with it, so why were they able to go to this extent?

Wasn't he the main villain in the original book? Shouldn't he be furious and disgusted upon suddenly hearing that she was getting married, and rush over with a sword to question her about why?

That was her original plan: to force him into marriage the moment he arrived.

But seeing Xie Linyuan's pale face, his seemingly carefree demeanor despite his obvious reluctance, it felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

Since things have already come to this, what is she waiting for?

"One glance is enough, you're too easily satisfied."

With red eyes, Yu Zhen grabbed his wrist.

Xie Linyuan looked up in confusion and asked, "Zhenzhen?"

"Come in here." Yu Zhen said, and with a forceful pull of her wrist, she dragged Xie Linyuan, who was still in a weak state, into the room.

His mind went blank; the rapid changes in the situation had left him unable to think.

Or rather, he forgets to think whenever things involve Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen pulled the man in and unceremoniously grabbed his belt.

But after just one glance, her eyes started to sting.

Xie Linyuan is too thin.

Compared to before, he is now as thin as a sheet of paper.

“Zhenzhen…” Xie Linyuan’s confusion turned into panic, “This…this isn’t right…”

"What's wrong with it?" Yu Zhen rubbed her eyes hard, looking up at him with blatant anger. "What do you think I want to do? Get things done right now?"

"What...what matter?" Xie Linyuan was even more confused.

From the moment he met Yu Zhen, every action of hers was beyond his expectations.

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you anymore. We're running out of time. It's all your fault for being so slow!"

Ignoring his resistance, Yu Zhen pulled off his belt and swiftly ripped off his outer garment.

His undergarment was white, which made him look even weaker.

Yu Zhen lifted the brocade handkerchief placed on the tray, and Xie Linyuan belatedly realized that the tray was the one the little monster had brought over.

The handkerchief was lifted, revealing its red lining.

She quickly shook out the clothes and put them on him, muttering to herself—

"Give me your hand, Xie Linyuan!"

"Hurry up! Mother just sent a message saying the auspicious time is almost over, Xie Linyuan, what are you standing there for?"
