Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Suddenly, the face of the Dark Arbiter appeared in front of Zhang Wei, with eerie green flames burning wildly in its huge eye sockets, flickering and leaping like will-o'-the-wisps.

His menacing fangs pierced out from his extremely twisted mouth like two sharp blades, gleaming coldly.

However, at this moment, this chilling face displayed a completely different expression, overflowing with awe and flattery.

The Dark Arbiter's massive, mountain-like body was slightly hunched over, as if trying to minimize its presence.

The eerie green flames in his eyes seemed to be tainted by his emotions, burning with a fawning and humble intensity.

That already ferocious face looked incredibly comical because of that humble posture.

Zhang Wei stared indifferently at the terrifying yet comical face before him, his deep eyes devoid of any emotion.

He nodded slightly, the movement as light as a gentle breeze.

The next second, his figure vanished like smoke, leaving the bewildered Dark Arbiter standing there, looking like a giant doll abandoned by its master.

The light faded, and Shen Ying appeared in the Magic Garden instance. Her mission this time was to collect magic seeds.

She needs to find three kinds of magic seeds:

The first type is the "Rainbow Glass Seed". This seed is hidden in the stamens of flowers in the garden that change color. The color of the flowers changes extremely quickly, and there is a magical mist around them that can confuse the mind. If you are not careful, you will get lost in it and find it difficult to find the correct stamen.

The second type is "Starlight Seeds," which are scattered in the night sky area of ​​the garden. They only briefly appear when a shooting star streaks across the sky, and are protected by many little sprites that can release lightning.

The third type is the "ice and fire fusion seed," which grows in a special area in the garden where ice and fire meet. There, on one side is a raging fire, and on the other side is a biting frost. The collision of ice and fire creates a powerful airflow, and the seed is hidden in a crystal flower at the center of the airflow vortex.

Shen Ying took a deep breath, gripped the giant axe in her hand, and headed towards the area with the "Iridescent Glass Seeds".

The sea of ​​flowers was colorful, and the changing colors were like a whirlpool, making one feel dizzy just by looking at it.

She used a device to keep herself alert, and muttered to herself somewhat uncertainly, "This should be able to resist the effects of the magical mist on my mind."

After making preparations, Shen Ying slowly approached the flower.

The grass beneath her feet was like a soft carpet, sinking and bouncing slightly with each step, making a soft rustling sound. The colorful flowers around her swayed gracefully in the breeze like dancers in full regalia, exuding a captivating fragrance.

She stared intently at the flower's stamen, trying to capture the unique luster of the "Iridescent Glass Seed".

The magical mist around her, like agile sprites, darted and swirled through the air, wrapping around her in wisps and brushing her cheeks with a cool sensation.

Just as she was concentrating, the surrounding mist suddenly surged like a raging wave, transforming into all sorts of terrifying shapes.

The hideous demon opened its blood-red maw, spewing out pungent, sulfurous steam that stung people's eyes. Its eyes flashed with an eerie red light, and its bony claws swung about, bringing with them a biting wind that howled past their ears.

Shen Ying frowned, constantly reminding herself that all these terrifying things in front of her were fake, just illusions created by magical mist.

In the mist, a ghost, seemingly crawling out of an endless abyss, let out an extremely shrill scream.

The voice was sharp, like a series of piercing awls, stabbing straight into Shen Ying's ears.

At the same time, a sinister and icy aura rushed towards her, like countless tiny ice needles drilling into her bones, making her shiver all over.

Despite Shen Ying's complete focus and extreme caution from the very beginning, her eyes gradually began to become unfocused under the overwhelming onslaught of illusions.

Fine beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead, slowly sliding down her cheeks, which were slightly flushed from exertion, and dripping onto the grass at her feet, disappearing in an instant.

Shen Ying gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffing out slightly from the effort. She repeatedly told herself that she must not be controlled by these illusory scenes.

At this moment, the giant axe she was gripping tightly was trembling slightly from the excessive force.

Just when Shen Ying was about to give up, a figure suddenly flashed through the mist, moving as fast as lightning, creating a gust of wind that dispersed some of the surrounding mist.

In the blink of an eye, the man was beside Shen Ying, supporting her as she swayed and letting her lean against him.

Zhang Wei could feel that Shen Ying was tense all over, and his heart clenched, his brows furrowing as well.

A gentle force was carefully channeled from the palm into Shen Ying's body.

This power, like a warm stream of water, slowly spread throughout her body.

The person in his arms gradually relaxed, the tightly furrowed brows slowly smoothing out. Zhang Wei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and the worry in his eyes was replaced by tenderness.

He slowly raised his hand, his movements as gentle as a breeze across a lake, his fingertips carefully and restrainedly wiping away the cold sweat from Shen Ying's forehead.

His gaze remained fixed on Shen Ying's face the entire time.

In a daze, Shen Ying felt as if she had grasped a ray of light in the dark abyss. This light, with its familiar warmth, pulled her back from the edge of fear.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Zhang Weiqing's cold and handsome face.

Shen Ying gradually regained consciousness and realized with a start that she was nestled in the other person's warm embrace.

Her ears instantly flushed crimson, and she pulled away from his embrace with a mix of panic and embarrassment. Her voice was still a little hoarse as she asked, "You saved me?"

"Hmm, how are you feeling now?" Zhang Wei asked softly, his voice as warm and reassuring as a spring breeze.

"Yes, I feel much better. You saved me again. Thank you." Shen Ying looked up at Zhang Wei, her eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and gratitude towards him.

“You don’t need to keep thanking me. I did all of this voluntarily.” Zhang Wei looked at Shen Ying with gentle eyes.

Under his focused gaze, Shen Ying felt her cheeks burning, and she awkwardly looked away.

At this moment, she could clearly hear her own heartbeat, "thump thump thump," each beat more rapid than the last, completely devoid of its usual rhythm.

Shen Ying silently berated herself for being so weak and easily flustered.

To hide her embarrassment, she quickly looked around.

In that magical garden, shrouded in a magical mist, exotic flowers and rare herbs bloom, but beneath this beautiful scenery, dangers lurk everywhere.

She sighed softly, a hint of frustration in her voice: "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous here; I couldn't even use my props."

She recalled the helplessness she felt when she fell into the hallucination, her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the giant axe.

"I have a way." After saying that, Zhang Wei quickly took out a crystal-clear jade tablet, which glowed slightly in his hand.

He suddenly raised his hand, and the prop flew high into the air, shooting towards the garden.

Just as the prop reached mid-air, a beam of intense light exploded from its center, spreading outwards like a surging tide and quickly forming a huge transparent barrier.

As the barrier unfolded, the previously rampant mist no longer surged as before, but became docile, slowly drifting away in wisps.

In the blink of an eye, the mist within the barrier completely dissipated.
