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

Shen Ying tried hard to suppress the unease she felt about the unknown, and mustered her courage to ask, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The guardian spirit nodded.

Shen Ying swallowed hard and then said, "Then you might as well tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely help."

At this moment, the guardian spirit's deep, hoarse voice softened, and it slowly said, "I want you to stay with me."

Shen Ying was stunned for a moment, but she quickly became overjoyed. Oh, this is exactly what she wanted!

One of her original tasks was to stay by his side until the end of the game, and now all that's left is to help the protagonist obtain the treasure protected by the villain.

Shen Ying agreed without hesitation, already planning how to take advantage of the villain's inattention to secretly give the treasure in the stone coffin to Zhou Yifeng and the others while she was with him.

Shen Ying, trying to make conversation, asked, "Is the person inside this stone coffin the tomb's occupant?"

The guardian spirit nodded.

As Shen Ying was still pondering how to ask next, the guardian spirit opposite her smiled slightly and actually asked, "Would you like to see inside?"

Shen Ying's eyes lit up instantly. If an ordinary person were faced with such an invitation, they would normally refuse, but Shen Ying's goal was the treasure in the stone coffin.

So she nodded hastily, thinking to herself: This villain is too easy to talk to.

Could it be because of his inexplicable affection for me? Why is that? Is this the legendary cheat code that allowed me to gain the favor of the game's villain?

At this moment, an unseen force slowly opened the coffin lid, revealing the true appearance inside.

Because she was mentally prepared, Shen Ying wasn't too surprised to see that there was a skeleton inside. Its clothes were indeed exactly the same as the guardian spirit's. The plot also explained that the villain was the manifestation of the tomb owner's obsession.

In the skeleton's hand was a very exquisite brocade box, which, miraculously, showed no signs of aging.

The guardian spirit reached out and took out a brocade box, asking gently, "Do you want this?"

Shen Ying was taken aback. Was she being that obvious? She quickly and discreetly rubbed her face, trying to conceal her blatant intentions.

However, the guardian spirit actually handed it over, and said with a smile, "Take it!"

Shen Ying was so shocked by how smoothly things went that her mouth gaped open for a long time before she finally came to her senses. Wasn't the villain supposed to cherish this treasure so much that it had become an obsession? How could he have given it to her so easily?

Shocked as she was, and puzzled as she was, Shen Ying quickly accepted the treasure, and even thanked the other party politely: "Thank you!"

She then eagerly opened it. Upon opening it, she was immediately stunned; inside was a bracelet and a sapphire brooch.

That antique jade bracelet was crystal clear and incredibly smooth, as if it contained a thousand years of spiritual energy.

The bracelet is engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, as if telling Shen Ying an ancient story.

The inside of the bracelet also faintly emitted a soft glow.

Then look at that sapphire brooch. It has a very unique design. The sapphire is so pure and deep that it seems to be able to draw people's soul in. It is surrounded by dazzling diamonds, the light of which is so bright that it is hard to open your eyes.

Its design style is modern, with smooth and simple lines, and the craftsmanship is superb.

Shen Ying felt strange and had a peculiar feeling. The bracelet was fine, quite in line with the atmosphere of this ancient tomb, but the sapphire brooch, such a modern item, was being guarded by an ancient soul from an unknown era.

This is too unbelievable! Perhaps it's just a coincidence? After all, the world is full of wonders.

Museums also contain many ancient artifacts with designs similar to modern ones.

However, Shen Ying was still curious about the origin of this "sapphire brooch," so she asked, "What is this sapphire ornament?"

The guardian spirit looked at the sapphire brooch, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He said to Shen Ying, "A very important treasure."

Shen Ying wanted to say that this wasn't what she was asking, but she felt it was someone else's privacy, and it seemed rather impolite to pry too much, so she stopped asking.

"Um, sir, I would like to ask, now that you have given me the treasure, can I do with it as I please and give it to whomever I want?"

The guardian spirit nodded, then shook its head.

Shen Ying didn't understand why the guardian spirit was nodding and shaking its head. Just as she was about to ask for clarification, the other's voice rang in her ear.

"You can do whatever you want with the bracelet, but you must keep this one for yourself." His slender, slightly translucent fingers landed on the sapphire brooch, gently touching it.

Shen Ying pondered to herself, after all, the bracelet was a treasure guarded by the villain. Giving it to Zhou Yifeng and the others should also be considered as helping the protagonist obtain a treasure guarded by the villain.

She was actually a little unsure, but at that moment she had no other choice.

She was genuinely worried that if the villain got angry and took both treasures back, she would have gained nothing and suffered a great loss.

"Could you please open the stone door so I can say a few words to my companions? I'd also like to give them the bracelets, since it's our mission." Shen Ying earnestly requested the guardian spirit's permission.

"can."

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy stone door slowly moved, emitting a dull creaking sound.

As the crack in the door widened, the first thing that came into view was a group of people holding weapons and looking on alert.

When Zhou Yifeng and the others saw that Shen Ying was completely unharmed, their faces instantly lit up with surprise.

Zhou Yifeng couldn't wait to reach out and pull Shen Ying over, but Shen Ying refused his pull.

Everyone looked warily at the guardian spirit behind Shen Ying, then at Shen Ying herself, their faces full of doubt.

Shen Ying didn't say much, but handed the bracelet to them directly, and then said firmly, "You guys go back first. I have to stay here. There are still some things I need to take care of." After saying that, she stopped talking.

The crowd was unwilling to listen and was about to press for answers when the guardian spirit waved its hand, unleashing a powerful surge that violently pushed them backward.

Caught off guard, everyone staggered back several steps. Before they could regain their footing, the stone door in front of them slammed shut again with a loud crash, completely isolating Shen Ying and her guardian spirit from them.

Zhou Yifeng rushed forward and pounded on the stone door, shouting, "Shen Ying! Shen Ying!" Lin Shuang was also anxious, her hand unconsciously tightening its grip on the bow and arrow.

Xu Jiayi was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. She cried out, "What can we do? We can't leave Shen Ying inside alone!" Su Yuze's eyes were dark as he pondered a solution.

Chen Xue stood to the side, trembling, muttering repeatedly, "I hope Shen Ying doesn't get into trouble."

The stone door shut out the outside noise, and inside it was so quiet that only Shen Ying's own breathing could be heard.

Shen Ying's gaze swept across the entire tomb chamber again, and she began to consider her upcoming situation. The tomb chamber was completely visible, with no sign whatsoever of a place where she could survive.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I have to stay by the villain's side until the end of the game, but there's not even a drop of water or a piece of dry food here. How am I going to survive until the end of the game? Should I try to trick the villain out of the tomb? But is it even possible for him to leave the tomb?"

Shen Ying, who asked whatever came to mind, got straight to the point: "My lord, although you want me to accompany you, it is very difficult for humans to survive in this environment. I'm sure you, who were once human, know this. May I ask if you can leave the ancient tomb with me?"

The guardian spirit shook its head, indicating that it could not leave.

Shen Ying was somewhat troubled upon hearing this, but her trouble was fleeting. Soon, she only saw a dark shadow flash before her eyes, and the guardian spirit opposite her suddenly approached her.

When the intangible arm wrapped around her waist, Shen Ying felt a faint, cool sensation, as if she were enveloped by a gentle yet slightly chilly breeze, a strange feeling that was both illusory and elusive.

Immediately afterwards, she was instantly transported to another location.
