Not Being The Villain? So Good! GL [System] - Chapter 4

Lin Baixi’s expression turned utterly miserable.

Of all people, why did she have to run into Yao Xian!!!

Hadn’t Chonglan said Yao Xian was still staying with her fiancé’s family? How had she come back so quickly??

Truthfully, it wasn’t that Lin Baixi was afraid of her.

It was just that Yao Xian was incredibly troublesome!!!

According to rumors in the jianghu, this woman was notoriously difficult to deal with!!!

For now, she had to avoid fighting her.

Lin Baixi threw down three smoke bombs. Under the cover of the spreading smoke, she leapt onto the wall surrounding the Yao Residence.

She was only one step away from getting out.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from behind her. It sounded like reinforcements had arrived.

“The thief is somewhere around here!!”

The real Ah Niu clutched his face as he pointed toward the thick cloud of smoke filling the courtyard.

“Damn, he woke up that fast?”

Lin Baixi vaulted over the wall and sprinted toward the western side of the city.

As long as she got past that area, she would reach the wild mountains and forests beyond.

Her figure rapidly disappeared into the distance.

The people of the Yao Residence were about to chase after her when the graceful figure in blue standing atop the roof, guqin cradled in her arms, ordered,

“Do not pursue a desperate enemy.”

“But Young Miss, that thief appears to have stolen something from the residence,” one of the guards reported.

The beauty slowly descended to the ground like a blue butterfly.

A white silk veil covered her face, concealing her beauty and leaving only a pair of exquisite eyes visible.

“That person is not someone you can handle.”

As she spoke, her black hair, smooth as silk and satin, fluttered in the wind. A strip of red cloth was tied at the ends.

Beneath her long, slender brows, her eyes resembled a cold moon gleaming with frosty light. Her aura was cool and elegant, like an ice lotus.

Her alluring red lips pressed together slightly.

“Go and check what has been lost. If it is nothing important, let her go.”

“But if anything valuable is missing, post it on the bounty board.”

The bounty board Yao Xian referred to was something similar to an organization for bounty hunters.

Once a bounty was posted, countless people throughout the jianghu who saw the task would surely descend upon the target.

After all, with enough money, one really could do whatever one pleased.

Still, Yao Xian found the matter strange.

If that person could evade her qin techniques, then her identity could not possibly be simple.

Why had she infiltrated the Yao Residence?

What was her purpose?

Before long, the real Ah Niu knelt on the ground, looking utterly grief-stricken.

“Young Miss, Young Master still hasn’t woken up!”

“That thief used some unknown method on him. Even in his sleep, Young Master is still terrified and restless.”

“This servant deserves death for failing to protect his master. Please punish me, Young Miss!!!”

He knocked his forehead heavily against the ground in remorse.

The rules of the Yao Residence had always been strict. Anyone who made a mistake would never be let off lightly.

Yao Xian glanced at Ah Niu.

“Ning’er was explicitly confined by Father for three months. His punishment has not yet ended. How was he still able to leave the residence?”

“It was this servant’s fault. I couldn’t bear to refuse Young Master’s pleas, so I broke the rules and took him outside. But I never imagined… things would turn out like this.”

Ah Niu lowered his head in shame.

At this point, he no longer even felt qualified to raise it.

Yao Xian turned around and said sternly,

“Go receive your punishment.”

“Yes!!!”

With that, she went straight to her younger brother’s room to check on him.

The moment she entered, she heard her brother crying out in his sleep.

“Don’t eat me, don’t eat me!”

“I don’t taste good!!!”

“I’m not tender, not tender at all! My Sister is the tender one…”

“Wuwuwu… I haven’t bathed in days.”

Yao Xian: …..

What exactly had happened to him?

Meanwhile, after Lin Baixi escaped, she sent Chonglan and Chongyu a signal telling them to hurry over and regroup.

Chonglan arrived first.

Only after the time it took to burn an incense stick did Chongyu finally appear, covered from head to toe in pig’s blood.

Lin Baixi pinched her nose while talking to him and frowned.

“Where did you just go?!”

Chongyu replied naturally, “Master, after you left the residence, I went straight to a butcher shop.”

“Then where’s the pork?!”

“I didn’t take any. What would we need that stuff for?”

Chongyu wiped the dried blood from his face.

“You’re so talented, why don’t you just become a butcher?! What are you still doing as a Protector?!”

Lin Baixi was practically dying of anger.

Leave him alone for one moment, and he would stab someone’s kidney—

Oh, no.

A pig’s kidney.

“Forget it. Don’t do it again.”

Since Lin Baixi had obtained the secret manual, she decided they should first find somewhere to stay.

The three of them settled into a small inn nearby.

She deliberately chose a room near the edge of the building.

The moment she entered, she couldn’t resist opening the Jade Maiden Heart Method.

“System, I finished the mission. Hurry up and verify it.”

Boss System: “Automatically checking mission progress.”

“Host’s mission progress: 5%.”

“Mission remains incomplete.”

“What?! What did you just say? Didn’t I steal the secret manual?!”

Lin Baixi hurriedly pulled out the Jade Maiden Heart Method.

“Look! Isn’t this a martial arts heart method?!”

“The title is written in four huge characters! Can’t you see it?!”

She waved the Jade Maiden Heart Method in the air.

Just then, the room door was pushed open.

Chongyu walked in carrying food, grinning happily.

“Master, time to eat!”

He placed the dishes on the table and immediately noticed the Palace Master holding up a book with a serious expression.

“Master, what’s that?”

Without any hesitation, Chongyu snatched the book away and flipped through several pages.

His blood immediately began boiling with excitement.

“Nice! Nice!!”

“What’s so nice? Don’t tell me you understand this Jade Maiden Heart Method?”

Confused, Lin Baixi snatched the book back and took a look.

Only then did she discover that halfway through the Jade Maiden Heart Method, all the pages had turned into illustrations of people entwined in various sexual positions.

Smack!

With her face covered in black lines, Lin Baixi slammed the book onto the table.

“Palace Master, if you don’t want this book, give it to me!”

“Shoo, shoo! Kids who look at this stuff will get styes.”

Chongyu excitedly lunged over to snatch the book, only for Lin Baixi to slap him straight out of the room.

In the end, she picked up a fire striker with a dark expression, set the entire book on fire, and threw it out the window.

Down below, a spoiled young master who had been harassing a respectable young woman immediately let out a miserable scream.

“Awooo! Fire!!!”

“Help!!”

“My… my hair!!!”

Lin Baixi, meanwhile, sat gloomily beside the table.

This time, Chonglan pushed the door open.

He was holding a freshly warmed pot of wine.

Seeing that his master was unhappy, Chonglan smiled.

“Master, that spoiled young master downstairs just had divine fire fall from the heavens onto his head. He finally received his retribution.”

“……”

“By the way, Palace Master, if you’re this worried, then you definitely didn’t manage to get what you wanted, did you?”

That was what he had really come to say.

“Chonglan… I clearly saw martial arts instructions for the Jade Maiden Heart Method in the first part. It looked perfectly legitimate.”

“So why did it turn into erotic illustrations halfway through?”

“Palace Master, you broke into the Yao Residence just to steal an erotic picture book?”

Chonglan’s words landed like a critical hit.

Lin Baixi was so furious she nearly coughed up blood.

That study in the Yao Residence must have belonged to the old master of the Yao family.

She never expected that someone already in his fifties or sixties would still be looking at this sort of thing.

Talk about vigorous in old age!!!

The fact that he could even look at this while practicing martial arts left her completely speechless.

But now that Yao Xian had returned, sneaking back in to steal something was definitely impossible.

She had to think of another way!
