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

Lan Xiao slowly opened his mouth and said, "There have always been rumors that I possess a treasure with mysterious power. It is because of this treasure that I have the power to organize the Dark Abyss and resist many invasions by external enemies."

Someone was plotting to steal my treasure, which led to the unexpected incident at the bonfire party.

Shen Ying looked puzzled and asked, "Does that treasure really exist?"

Lan Xiao was silent for a moment, then said, "The treasure exists, but it doesn't have the magical power they claim." After saying that, he carefully took out an exquisite box from his pocket.

The box is made of a unique dark brown wood, with ancient and mysterious patterns carved on its surface.

The four corners of the box are inlaid with smooth animal bones, exuding a primitive and rugged aura.

Lan Xiao gently opened the box, and Shen Ying was surprised to find that inside was a sapphire brooch with a modern design.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

For some reason, even though it was the first time she had seen this brooch, it felt somewhat familiar.

Did you see something similar in a magazine before?

Lan Xiao saw the confusion and bewilderment on Shen Ying's face. He slightly curled the corners of his lips and quietly watched her until Shen Ying came back to her senses and looked away from the sapphire brooch.

Shen Ying thought about how she had stared at someone else's treasure for so long without any regard for her own interests, and secretly wondered: Did the other person think she was a money-grubber?

She coughed a few times and asked, "Since you don't have any treasures with mysterious powers, why are there such strange rumors circulating outside?"

Lan Xiao sighed softly and said, "All of this is just a deliberate arrangement by someone with ulterior motives."

In those battles against foreign enemies, perhaps it was my proper command, coupled with the concerted efforts of everyone in the tribe, that led us to victory time and time again.

However, some people covet our tribe's resources and land. For their own gain, they deliberately fabricate legends of treasures, hoping to incite chaos among tribes and seize the opportunity to plunder them.

After speaking, Lan Xiao gently closed the box containing the sapphire brooch and put it into his pocket, his movements slow and gentle.

Shen Ying nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see."

Lan Xiao looked at Shen Ying, his expression still gentle, but he said in a solemn tone, "I'm telling you all this for one purpose only, in the hope that you will be more vigilant."

Never be alone. If possible, I hope you can let me know if you need anything; that way I'll feel at ease.

Shen Ying understood that the other person was worried about her, and she was touched. So she nodded and then asked, "So what do you plan to do next?"

Lan Xiao tilted his head slightly, looked up at the night sky, and said, "Strengthening defenses is essential, but at the same time we must find the mastermind behind it all and solve the problem at its root."

Although Lan Xiao is defined as a villain in the game's introduction, Shen Ying does not hold such a one-sided view.

She believes this is merely a difference in perspective; there is no absolute distinction between good and evil in the world.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, Blue Owl, as the leader, always maintained a fair attitude when handling affairs within the tribe.

Whether it's allocating resources or mediating conflicts among clan members, he can always remain impartial and resolve issues in a fair and reasonable manner, earning the respect and approval of every clan member.

When faced with decisions regarding the tribe's development, Blue Owl always thinks deeply, weighing the pros and cons, and considering the tribe's long-term interests. He welcomes suggestions, respects the ideas of every tribesman, and works together to devise strategies for the tribe's prosperity.

Having witnessed all of this firsthand, Shen Ying became even more convinced that Lan Xiao was not the absolute villain portrayed in the game's description, but rather a leader with his own ideals and responsibilities, who devoted himself to the survival and development of the tribe.

Shen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I believe you can handle it well."

Just then, a dazzling shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of brilliant light. The two of them looked up at that moment of splendor.

Shen Ying closed her eyes slightly and silently made a beautiful wish in her heart: May Lan Xiao be safe and well, may everything go as he wishes, and may he always be surrounded by happiness and peace.

On this day, the sunlight gently shone on the tribe's land. Lan Xiao looked at Shen Ying with a hint of mystery in his eyes and said, "I'll take you somewhere." Filled with curiosity, Shen Ying gladly followed Lan Xiao.

Lan Xiao led the way, with Shen Ying following closely behind, and the two of them stepped into the ruins where they first met.

When Shen Ying saw that Lan Xiao had brought her here, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring me here?"

Lan Xiao tilted his head slightly, looked at Shen Ying, and said mysteriously, "You'll find out soon enough."

Upon entering the ruins, a sense of antiquity immediately enveloped us. In the dim light, the walls were covered with traces of time's erosion, as if telling stories of the past.

Shen Ying saw the broken stone carvings scattered messily in the corner. They may have once been majestic guardians, but now they were incomplete.

A sudden worry welled up in Shen Ying's heart, and she said, "What if we encounter another terrifying monster like last time?" Lan Xiao patted Shen Ying's shoulder reassuringly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

They continued onward, the stone path beneath their feet was somewhat uneven, and Shen Ying walked carefully.

Suddenly, Lan Xiao stopped in his tracks. Shen Ying followed his gaze and saw a huge mural come into view.

Although most of the colors on the mural have faded, it is still possible to vaguely discern that it depicts a fierce battle, with valiant warriors fighting bravely against an unknown enemy.

As she walked further in, Shen Ying heard a faint dripping sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw an ancient pool with a few fallen leaves floating on the surface.

Beside the pool stood a mysterious statue, its face obscured by shadows, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Shen Ying couldn't help but move closer to Lan Xiao, as if that would give her a greater sense of security.

At this moment, Lan Xiao gently placed one hand on her shoulder, seemingly offering her silent comfort.

As she passed through a dark passage, the sight before her made Shen Ying's eyes widen in astonishment, and she exclaimed in surprise.

As night fell, the soft moonlight gently cascaded down, like a thin veil shrouding the earth.

Before them lay a dreamlike space, where countless fireflies, twinkling with light, danced in the air, like countless glittering stars fallen to earth.

The ground was covered with soft, silky moss, like a huge and magnificent green velvet carpet.

Colorful and exotic flowers bloom on the moss, each one exuding a captivating fragrance that is mesmerizing.

The flowers are adorned with glistening water droplets, which refract dazzling light under the faint moonlight, resembling sparkling gems.

In the center of this space, there is a small fountain with crystal-clear water that keeps gushing upwards, the water droplets turning into beautiful rainbows in the air.

Several ancient trees surround the fountain, their branches laden with pearl-like fruits that exude an enticing sweet fragrance. Clusters of transparent crystals emerge from the ground, refracting the surrounding light like dreamlike gemstones.

Tiny points of light flickered in the grass from time to time; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be tiny sprites playing.

Lan Xiao smiled at Shen Ying and said, "This is what I wanted you to see."

Shen Ying was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery before her, and was so captivated by it that she felt as if she were in a beautiful fairy tale world.

Shen Ying ran forward happily, wanting to admire the strange flowers up close, but she accidentally tripped over a protruding tree root and fell forward.

Lan Xiao reacted quickly, rushing forward to hug her.

Looking at Shen Ying, who was still shaken, in his arms, Lan Xiao suddenly felt a mischievous urge and lifted her high into the air.

Shen Ying was startled at first, then giggled. Lan Xiao gazed at her radiant smile, his eyes becoming somewhat infatuated, and he couldn't resist kissing her.

Shen Ying froze, her mind went blank for a moment, and then she was led by the other person to passively respond to his kiss. She was kissed so hard that she felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if she were on a cloud, and she even forgot to breathe.

Lan Xiao seemed to sense Shen Ying's tension and loosened his grip slightly, allowing her to catch her breath.

Just then, a playful butterfly landed on Shen Ying's hair. Shen Ying gently shook her head to try to shoo it away, and this unintentional little action made her even more charming and cute.

Lan Xiao couldn't help but kiss Shen Ying again. This time the kiss was passionate and deep, and her hands unconsciously climbed up Lan Xiao's neck.

They were immersed in an atmosphere of love, as if the whole world consisted only of each other.
