Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

*

At this time, in Miaomiao's tribe.

Hui was exercising with Miaomiao when they were disturbed by increasingly loud shouts of "They're coming back!"

“Hui…” Miao Miao was shocked to find that Xiao was still alive.

Xiao is back!

Hui felt uneasy and, without bothering to comfort the frightened Miaomiao, hurriedly went out of the house and indeed saw Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

The hideous scar he had torn open had scabbed over, leaving only a large, terrifying dark red mark. His once robust physique had thinned, but his aura was even more imposing than before.

"Hui, it's been a long time."

Xiao was surrounded by the orcs, receiving greetings from all of them. Upon seeing him, they immediately gave him a friendly smile.

Of course, these were the emotions perceived by the unrelated beastmen; only Hui knew how much sinister intent and hatred was hidden in Xiao's smile.

“Yes, Xiao, I didn’t expect you to come back alive,” Hui said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed, transforming into one of deep sorrow and indignation.

All the orcs present were completely bewildered by his change, and Xiao's previously mocking expression froze.

Before, he didn't understand Hui, but after the last incident, he completely understood what kind of person Hui was.

Xiao had a bad feeling.

Hui didn't give him a chance to react. Instead, he told everyone with a somber expression, "Everyone, I originally thought Xiao was dead, and I didn't tell you the truth. But today, he's back alive, so I think I have to tell you the truth."

"Actually, the reason we encountered the mammoth was because of Xiao. He ignored our objections and acted on his own. He encountered the mammoth but did not inform the other orcs, causing the orcs who were a step behind him to not realize the danger and were all eaten."

Hui choked up after speaking.

Only then did the beastmen realize that his eyes were already red and filled with an overwhelming sorrow.

"How could this happen?!" cried one of the orcs who had lost a loved one.

One acquaintance immediately questioned Xiao: "Xiao, is what Hui said true?"

"This..." Xiao didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He wanted to say no, but upon reflection, he realized that it was indeed his impulsiveness that led to all the orcs encountering the mammoth.

Xiao realized he was wrong.

He had finally managed to escape and recuperate, all so that one day he could return and expose Hui's true colors.

But he forgot that he was never as smart as Hui, and he had absolutely no chance of winning against Hui.

Just like now, Hui's short sentence has put it on the hot seat.

"Xiao, I'm sorry," Hui said again.

The orcs were startled again, not understanding what Hui was up to.

One of the orcs asked, "Hui, why are you apologizing?"

"Because I caused Xiao's injuries." Hui lowered his head, his expression seemingly sorrowful, but a dark glint flashed in his eyes that was not easily noticed by ordinary people.

Xiao, that idiot, thought that after experiencing such a painful ordeal, he would have learned to be smarter, but he was still fooled by Xiao's few words.

If he is the first to admit his mistake, he will actually gain the most favorable opportunity.

“Hui, why did you…” It was Xiao’s parents who spoke.

"I'm sorry everyone. I know that unity is the most important thing among orcs, but Xiao killed so many orcs. They were all my brothers. I rushed there and saw that everyone had been eaten by the mammoths, and he was the only one still alive. I was so angry that I wanted to avenge my brothers, so..."

"So that's it."

All the orcs expressed their understanding, "Hui, you did the right thing. It's not an exaggeration to bite a scoundrel like Xiao to death."

"Hui, you're spouting nonsense!"

Xiao realized he had underestimated Hui's abilities. How long had he been back? All the arguments he had prepared were useless. In just one encounter, all the orcs had sided with Hui.

"Everyone, everyone, let me explain." Xiao said in despair.

"That's not how it is. Yes, I admit I was reckless and hurt everyone, but Hui isn't innocent either. The reason he survived is because when he saw the mammoth, he abandoned the other orcs and ran away with me."

These words caused another uproar among the orcs.

Xiao's parents were the first to stand up and question, "Hui, is what my son said true? Didn't you say that you didn't go at the time, but were protecting Queen Miao Miao?"

"Yes, Hui, you have to give us an explanation."

Hui stared at Xiao, his face grim.

Since you've escaped, keep a low profile and never show your face here again. Wouldn't it be better to save your life?

Why do we have to come back to die?

He said calmly, "Miao Miao can testify that I was with her the whole time."

Queen Miao Miao...

All the orcs instinctively looked around in the crowd, and finally found the small, thin figure on the outermost edge.

"Your Majesty, please say something! Who is telling the truth?"

Hui urged, "Miaomiao, speak boldly. I believe you won't wrong me."

"Hui..."

Miaomiao was very conflicted.

In the past few days, Hui has revealed too many sides of herself that she had never seen before: violent, eccentric, hypocritical...

All of this was exactly the same as the father she remembered, and it was just as disgusting.

She should have run away.

But Miao Miao was well aware that the world was full of dangers. She was just an ordinary girl who had become a so-called incarnation of a god by chance using modern knowledge, but in reality, she was nothing.

Only by following Hui could she continue to live a peaceful life.

“Yes, I testify that Hui is telling the truth.” Miao Miao said firmly. “Xiao, I’m sorry, although you are my capable subordinate, I am the queen and I cannot protect you.”

"Miaomiao!" Xiao's eyes showed despair.

He couldn't believe that the queen he had always followed and devoted everything to had abandoned him like this. If that was the case, then he wouldn't be so heartless.

“That doesn’t count. Everyone knows you’re the Queen’s consort, and the Queen will be on your side.” Xiao glared at Hui with hatred.

"ridiculous."

Hui, however, did not take it to heart. “Her Majesty the Queen is the most impartial. I am her consort, that’s true, but you are her most capable subordinate. She is a queen, but she is also the incarnation of a god, the savior of our world. How could she possibly favor me?”

Some orcs understood the meaning behind his words and began to echo him:

"That's right. The Queen was guided here by the gods. It is because of her that we are able to live such a good life today. The Queen would never lie."

Seeing that everyone was on his side, Hui curled his lips and gave Xiao a provocative smile.

See? Does the truth really matter?

As long as Miao Miao stands by his side, no matter what the truth is, no one will care.

What they care about more is having enough to eat and wear, and enjoying everything they have today, which is hard-won.

Just the fact that he is the king's consort gives him a natural advantage.

It's such a simple principle, but unfortunately Xiao doesn't understand it.

Seeing that things had escalated to a point where it was almost over, Hui said, "Since everyone thinks that Xiao was wrong, then according to the rules of our kingdom, Xiao should exchange his life for Xiao's. I urge Your Majesty to order Xiao's execution."
