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

The white-haired man looked at Shen Ying with gentle and profound eyes, his deep blue eyes seeming to hold an endless starry sky.

Shen Ying was utterly shocked upon hearing this: "What? He's actually the villain? The evil spirit that was described as incredibly terrifying in the introduction?" She shook her head in disbelief, "This... this difference is too great. I wouldn't doubt it if you said he was an immortal."

Her gaze lingered on the man, and she thought to herself, "Look at him, so aloof and handsome, like a god who stepped out of a painting. Every part of him seems to be etched into my heart. There is not a trace of the ferocity and terror that a demon should have."

Shen Ying felt that the game description seemed unreliable.

Shen Ying took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and asked the other person with boldness but also caution: "Why...why are you sealed here? I heard before that you were an evil spirit!"

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the other person with unwavering caution, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her throat.

She felt a little scared, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, genuinely worried that her question would offend the other party.

If he suddenly changes his appearance and really transforms into a terrifying creature with blue faces and fangs, and then eats me, that would be absolutely terrible.

Zhang Wei remained calm, his gaze fixed on the distance, his tone as still as water: "My being sealed here was nothing but a misunderstanding. When Peach Blossom Town was in trouble, I used forbidden techniques to protect this land and its inhabitants."

However, the opponent's power was too overwhelming, and the magic went out of control during the confrontation, affecting some innocent people.

Seeing only signs of impending disaster, the townspeople concluded I was an evil spirit and summoned a powerful Taoist priest to seal me away.

He turned his head slightly to look at Shen Ying, his eyes still cold. "As far as I am concerned, all the rights and wrongs are in the past. I have never had the intention to hurt others, but I am helpless to bear this name."

“But I also heard that you’ve been absorbing the souls of people who have broken into this place…” Shen Ying’s voice was weak, with a hint of hesitation and fear. Her eyes were fixed on Zhang Wei, as if trying to discern the truth from his expression.

Zhang Wei frowned slightly, and a vivid expression appeared on his usually cold and aloof face.

He parted his thin lips slightly, his words full of sarcasm: "...Where did these rumors come from? They are utterly absurd."

For me, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is enough; why would I bother with those souls?

His tone revealed a deep disdain for this baseless rumor, and his face was full of contempt and ridicule for such false information.

Shen Ying: ……

Inside the cabin, Zhang Wei led Shen Ying to the bedroom that had been arranged for her.

As soon as she opened the door, a warm feeling enveloped Shen Ying.

The bedroom is decorated in a simple yet cozy style. The wooden bed looks extremely soft and comfortable, and it is covered with a quilt embroidered with elegant patterns.

Shen Ying's gaze continued to wander around the room. She noticed several pots of blooming flowers placed by the window, their delicate petals still glistening with dewdrops.

There was a small bookshelf in the corner, with several ancient books neatly arranged on it. Although they were a bit old, there was not a speck of dust on them.

Zhang Wei turned slightly to the side, his gaze gently falling on Shen Ying's face, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "You should rest for a while. You must be tired after traveling for so long. I'll go prepare dinner."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying subconsciously took a step forward, her face showing sincerity, and said, "Let me help you."

However, Zhang Wei gently raised his hand, making a gesture to stop him, and said, "No need, I'll be fine soon." His tone remained gentle.

After saying that, he gave Shen Ying a faint smile and turned to leave.

Shen Ying stared at Zhang Wei's departing figure, slightly stunned, and then slowly closed the door.

As the door creaked shut, the room fell silent instantly.

Shen Ying walked slowly to the bedside, sat down heavily, and then let out a long sigh.

Her gaze was somewhat unfocused as she stared blankly ahead.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

Shen Ying walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, Zhang Wei, with a gentle smile on his face, said softly, "Come and eat."

Shen Ying nodded slightly.

On the table was a simple yet exquisite meal of three dishes and a soup. The steaming food emitted an enticing aroma, instantly whetting Shen Ying's appetite.

During the meal, the two spoke very little, yet a quiet and warm atmosphere permeated the air.

After the meal, Shen Ying reached out to clear the dishes and wash them, but Zhang Xiu's long, fair hand grasped her wrist through her clothes.

Shen Ying looked at him in confusion. He still had that gentle smile on his face and said, "Go and rest. I'll take care of these things."

Shen Ying opened her mouth, wanting to insist a little longer, but saw that he had already quickly and skillfully cleared away the dishes and chopsticks on the table in one smooth motion.

As Shen Ying watched his retreating figure, she sighed inwardly: What a good man!

She came to the courtyard alone.

The moonlight poured down like water, draping the entire courtyard in a dreamy silver veil.

The pear blossoms in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, their white petals falling like snowflakes. A faint fragrance filled the air, and the sweet aroma made Shen Ying feel a sweet taste on her tongue.

Her gaze inadvertently fell on the swing in front of her, and she walked over there without thinking.

Shen Ying gently sat on the swing, and with a slight push of her feet on the ground, the swing began to sway slowly.

She closed her eyes slightly, letting the gentle night breeze caress her cheeks and tousle her hair.

At this moment, all her worries were left behind, and Shen Ying fully enjoyed this rare peace and tranquility, as if time had stood still for her.

Shen Ying lay on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep, her soft snores echoing gently in the quiet room.

A tall, blurry shadow, as if slowly emerging from a dark abyss, quietly appeared in the corner of the room.

Around the shadow, wisps of black energy twisted and condensed like living things, slowly reaching towards Shen Ying, who was lying on the bed.

These black wisps, like slender tentacles, first gently rolled up the blanket covering her body, slowly caressing her as if sensing something.

Immediately afterwards, several more wisps of black energy wrapped around her pillow, tightly enveloping it.

A wisp of black energy meandered down the side of the bed, wrapping around her ankle and gently, slowly rubbing back and forth. Shen Ying, however, was completely unaware, still immersed in her dream.

The tall figure cautiously approached Shen Ying.

He leaned down slightly, almost completely enveloping Shen Ying.

His eyes revealed an unfulfilled longing.

His gaze roamed freely over Shen Ying's face, from her arched eyebrows to her tightly closed eyes and her slightly pouting lips, leaving no detail unexamined.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes grew even deeper, as if he wanted to possess her completely with his gaze.

He stared at it intently for a long time before the figure finally made a move again.

He moved infinitely closer to Shen Ying, his cool breath gently brushing against her ear, then slowly moving to the tip of her nose, and finally lingering on her lips, as if with longing and yearning, lingering and reluctant to leave.
