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

The children nearby laughed and played, running around the crowd, occasionally bumping into the adults' arms, which made the adults scold them, but they were also full of affection.

A little boy tugged at his mother's clothes and said sweetly, "Mommy, I want to dance too!" His mother smiled, picked him up, and they joined the dancing crowd.

Just then, a couple held hands. The boy suddenly stopped dancing, looked at the girl affectionately, and loudly declared, "Ahua, I will treat you well for the rest of my life and make you happy forever!" The girl blushed, but nodded vigorously, and the people around them applauded and cheered.

Shen Ying and Lan Xiao, who were dancing, saw this scene. They looked at each other, smiled at each other, and continued to immerse themselves in the dance.

Lan Xiao noticed that Shen Ying's dancing had slowed down and her breathing was uneven, as if she was tired.

He gently took Shen Ying's hand and whispered, "Let's go and rest."

Lan Xiao led Shen Ying to the side, found a place for her to sit down, and poured her a glass of warm water: "Drink some water first." Shen Ying took the water and smiled at Lan Xiao.

The old woman next to them saw the two of them, handed Shen Ying a piece of roasted meat, and said with a smile, "Little sister, eat something, so you'll have the energy to keep dancing!"

Shen Ying took the roasted meat and said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandma!"

Shen Ying and Lan Xiao sat to the side, quietly watching everyone sing and dance in the competition.

Singing filled the air amidst the crowd, dancers swayed gracefully, and everyone's face was beaming with joy.

Children frolic and play among the crowd, their laughter ringing out like bells.

The adults, on the other hand, showed off their talents to the fullest, and cheers and applause filled the air.

Shen Ying's gaze was drawn to a dancer in brightly colored clothing, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "She dances so well!" Lan Xiao smiled and nodded.

Not far away, several young people were having a singing competition. Their voices were either passionate or melodious, full of youthful energy.

Shen Ying and Lan Xiao enjoyed the view while exchanging a few words from time to time, basking in the lively atmosphere.

Suddenly, an unexpected incident occurred! The bonfire, which had been burning brightly, suddenly tilted to one side for some unknown reason, scattering sparks everywhere, causing a commotion among the crowd.

The children screamed in terror, their piercing cries cutting through the night.

The adults panicked and scattered like headless flies.

In the chaos, some people tripped and fell to the ground, while others, unable to avoid each other, collided with one another, leaving the scene in a mess.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Lan Xiao shouted, his powerful and authoritative voice instantly drowning out the noisy crowd.

His brow was furrowed, and his voice was calm and collected. "Get the children to a safe place first! Women, help take care of them! Men, come with me to put out the fire!"

Lan Xiao acted swiftly, his tall figure weaving through the crowd, directing everyone in an orderly manner.

Shen Ying quickly helped the person who had fallen up and gently comforted them, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." She also helped to disperse the crowd.

She saw a little girl crying loudly in fright, so she quickly ran over, hugged her, gently patted her back, and said tenderly, "Don't be afraid, baby, your big sister is here."

At the same time, she loudly comforted the frightened children: "Children, follow your big sister."

Under Lan Xiao's calm command and Shen Ying's active assistance, the chaotic situation was gradually brought under control.

The men, armed with buckets, brooms, and other tools, struggled to extinguish the flames.

After successfully bringing the situation under control, Lan Xiao had a vague feeling that something was off about the incident.

His gaze swept quickly across the chaotic scene, and he noticed that the direction and force of the bonfire being tilted were not quite right, unlike what one would expect from a natural fire.

Once the crowd had settled down, Lan Xiao began to carefully observe the traces around him.

He found some suspicious footprints and some strange powder.

Lan Xiao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Shen Ying noticed Lan Xiao's silence and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"

Lan Xiao quickly composed himself, gently took Shen Ying's hand, and said, "It's alright, let's go back."

In the days that followed, Shen Ying keenly noticed that the defenses around her had been significantly strengthened.

However, she didn't think too much about it and continued to do what she was supposed to do as usual.

Lan Xiao was returning home later and later. Although Shen Ying had some doubts, she chose to remain silent.

A few days later, the tribe held a public trial. The crowd was packed tightly around the trial site, and everyone's expressions were serious and angry.

Shen Ying stood curiously in the crowd, unaware of what had happened, her gaze fixed on Lan Xiao.

Although she got along well with the tribe, it was only for a short time, so she was not as excited and elated as the others because of the betrayal.

She looked at Lan Xiao, who stood tall and looked different from usual. He was upright, with a cold face, his arms crossed, and his eyes exuded an unassailable majesty.

The traitor who was brought in was tightly bound, his head hanging low, his whole body trembling with fear, his face full of cowardice and regret.

The people around whispered among themselves, angrily discussing, "Who would have thought such a traitor would come from our tribe!" "He absolutely cannot be let off lightly!"

Shen Ying was just an ordinary office worker, and she seemed extremely uncomfortable in such a scene.

This tense and contradictory scene was completely unfamiliar and difficult for her to get used to.

In this tense and solemn atmosphere, Lan Xiao stood there with a cold and serious expression, staring at the traitor with icy eyes.

Yan Feng, the tribe's hunting captain, stepped forward, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted, "Speak! Why did you betray the tribe? Who ordered you to do this? What conspiracy is behind this?"

The traitor trembled and stammered, "It was...it was a moment of madness; I was bribed with money. They made me stage that accident at the campfire party. As for the rest...I really don't know anything else!"

The tribe's guard captain, Pan Yue, pressed further, "What did the person who bribed you look like? Is there any other detail you can reveal?"

The traitor, his face contorted with grief, shook his head frantically: "I really didn't see clearly. They were masked. I only knew I took the money and did the job. I... I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!"

Lan Xiao remained expressionless, seemingly lost in thought, while the surrounding crowd angrily shouted that he should not be let off easily.

Finally, the silent Blue Owl spoke up: "Since you have confessed, then tell me how you orchestrated this accident. Don't leave out any details!" The traitor trembled and began to describe the situation in detail.

Shen Ying listened quietly to the side. She wasn't too shocked that someone would harm the tribe for money. After all, she had some understanding of the complexities of human nature in various social news and events in modern society.

After the traitor finished confessing, Lan Xiao looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Our tribe will never tolerate such a traitor!" A chorus of agreement rang out from the crowd.

Blue Owl then announced the punishment for the traitor, who was taken away.

After the trial ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. Shen Ying continued living her original life, helping to take care of the children and doing simple chores.

One day, while Shen Ying was washing clothes by the stream, she overheard some passing tribe members discussing something that seemed to be a new problem, possibly related to the previous betrayal.

But Shen Ying didn't take it too seriously and continued doing her own thing.

However, as the atmosphere in the tribe grew increasingly tense and the fortifications were continuously strengthened, Shen Ying clearly sensed the unusual atmosphere.

But she still chooses to avoid these disturbances as much as possible and focus only on her daily life.

She thought to herself that once this game was over, she would leave and return to her own world.

Night fell over the tribe, and countless stars twinkled in the vast night sky.

Lan Xiao and Shen Ying sat side by side on a quiet meadow outside the tribe, a gentle breeze bringing a touch of coolness.

The chirping of insects rose and fell in the grass, as if whispering the secrets of the night.

Lan Xiao turned slightly to face Shen Ying. In the moonlight, his expression was somewhat aloof, but his eyes were warm, a contradiction that was both harmonious and subtle.
