Rolling Around in the Villain's Arms (GL) - Chapter 2

Bai Tang was lying on the ground, feeling very frustrated. She was supposed to be very smart.

I almost forgot to run away.

Bai Tang immediately stood up, kicked her legs, and prepared to bolt.

She had only scooted two meters before an earthen wall shot up right in front of her. As a transmigrator, seeing a wall suddenly emerge from the ground instantly made her legs weak with shock.

Captain Lü picked her up by the scruff of her neck, and the earthen wall simultaneously vanished.

Xiao Xinyue looked at the flowers and plants messed up by the wall, her expression filled with gloomy, sinister aggression: “Take her and all of you get out!”

The entire group, except for the maid beside Xiao Xinyue, was intimidated.

She’s just a little brat, yet she’s so fierce.

I’m not scared at all, not one bit, but why was all the fur on her body puffed up like a dandelion?

Captain Lü calmly said, “Apologies, we were merely following the Patriarch’s orders.”

Xiao Xinyue tightened her grip on the rabbit’s neck.

Captain Lü held Bai Tang in her cupped hands and walked toward her.

Bai Tang looked at Xiao Xinyue up close. Her skin was as fair and translucent as snow. Her exquisite, doll-like face was not cute at all, radiating hostility. Even this small, the shadow of the future villain was already visible.

Xiao Xinyue’s gaze fell on Bai Tang, filled with disdain and condescension.

It was exactly like looking at garbage.

Bai Tang unhappily bared her teeth, glaring fiercely at her.

In a moment of distraction, water actually sprayed out of her mouth, hitting the little villain’s face with a jet of water.

Bai Tang was bewildered.

I think I just did something amazing, and I can use magic! I’m so happy.

Xiao Xinyue’s small face was wet, her carefully styled hair was messed up by the water, and the gray rabbit in her arms was also damp in one spot. She looked utterly disheveled, and her eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

Xiao Qi and the guards behind her froze up.

They were actually intimidated by the aura of a child.

Lan Ji: “Miss, this spirit beast can use magic even though it was born only a few days ago. This indicates excellent aptitude.”

Bai Tang blinked her big eyes.

She’s praising me, right? She’s praising me.

Bai Tang couldn’t resist wagging her short tail.

Xiao Xinyue scoffed: “Magic?”

She snapped her fingers.

A towering inferno erupted around Captain Lü, burning high. The moisture in the air was instantly evaporated.

Xiao Qi was stunned. She had heard that the Young Lady was exceptionally talented, but she hadn’t expected her to be this powerful. This fire was probably too much for even her Intermediate Water Magic to extinguish, and she didn’t know any higher-level spells.

Bai Tang felt scorching hot. Her fur felt like it was about to catch fire.

She quickly spat out several small water bubbles. The bubbles evaporated into steam before even touching the fire. She spat water frantically, working herself into a frenzy, her little expression looking aggrieved.

Captain Lü remained calm: “If this continues, the courtyard will catch fire.”

Xiao Xinyue glanced at her.

In less than a second, the fire was extinguished.

Bai Tang was still working hard; a few water bubbles plopped onto the ground, splashing tiny amounts of water. She sighed in relief, finally extinguished it.

Lan Ji wore a mysterious smile on her lips.

This little thing is too cute.

Xiao Xinyue’s gaze settled on Bai Tang: “Just those few little water bubbles, and you thought you could put out my fire?”

Hmph, I’m super amazing, okay!

Bai Tang fiercely bared her teeth at her.

Xiao Xinyue smirked.

Before Bai Tang could react, a water tornado twice her height appeared right next to her.

She had been hot a moment ago, but now she felt a little chilly.

To use such powerful magic so casually at such a young age, this little villain was more terrifying than she had imagined. Bai Tang trembled. There was no way she could become her spirit pet.

Lan Ji: “The Young Lady is still so childish.”

Xiao Xinyue bit her lip, a flicker of anger coloring her small face.

Lan Ji fell silent.

The water tornado beside them vanished.

Bai Tang realized why Lan Ji called her childish.

She had only spat out a few tiny water bubbles, but this villainous Young Lady felt compelled to compare herself, using much stronger magic—not just once, but twice. She was indeed still a child, bullying even a little cub like herself.

Bai Tang grinned, showing her two small fangs.

Xiao Xinyue stepped forward and pinched her ear: “Are you laughing at me?”

Her ear hurt. Little watery mist appeared in Bai Tang’s sapphire-blue eyes. She instinctively bit down on the pristine white finger in front of her.

Xiao Xinyue was unprepared.

Although the skin wasn’t broken, there was a pricking pain.

She said coldly: “Throw this ugly thing away. I don’t need a spirit pet.”

Captain Lü did not let go: “I apologize.”

She called me ugly! I’ve charmed so many older sisters on the way here. Bai Tang pouted her cheeks.

A flash of inspiration hit Bai Tang. She immediately used her small paws to pull her own face, widening her eyes and trying to make a scary face at the little villain.

Yes, I’m super ugly.

Please let me go. I’ll be free then.

Xiao Xinyue looked down at the soft, white little furball in front of her. Its short paws were earnestly poking its own face. Its face was very well-formed, prettier than any spirit beast she had seen, and its sapphire-blue eyes were staring right at her.

My heart is melting.

Xiao Xinyue squeezed the rabbit in her arms: “Are you trying to look pathetic?”

Bai Tang paused, then let out a soft, milky sound.

Yes, I’m so pitiful. Please let me go.

Xiao Xinyue looked away: “Hmph. Don’t think for a second that this means I’ll keep you.”

Bai Tang looked at her with even more anticipation.

Yes, it’s best if you don’t want me.

Everyone around Bai Tang, except Xiao Xinyue, showed mysterious smiles. So adorable!

Lan Ji: “Young Lady, this spirit pet is priceless and impossible to acquire. If the royal family knew of her existence, they would fight to have her. You should keep her. We certainly don’t lack the means to feed her.”

Bai Tang’s expression drooped.

The little villain will definitely refuse me. All my hope is on her.

She looked at Xiao Xinyue with even more hopeful eyes.

Xiao Xinyue pursed her lips and said, “Throw her in the woodshed.”

Bai Tang: “……”

There was no actual woodshed inside the mansion. The woodshed was outside the house, tucked away in a corner, built of stacked wood—it was practically a doghouse.

Bai Tang followed behind Lan Ji on her short legs and went to the woodshed.

She curled up in a corner.

I’ll escape as soon as Lan Ji leaves.

Lan Ji stood motionless, watching her curled up. Her belly was white, and the fur on her back was light blue, soft and beautiful. Lan Ji stared intently.

Bai Tang felt a little nervous.

Why is this cold-faced maid staring at me?

Lan Ji took two steps forward.

Bai Tang shrunk back in fear.

Lan Ji slowly approached.

Bai Tang covered her eyes with her paws, not daring to look. This is too scary. This maid’s combat power is also super high. Is she going to roast and eat me?

Lan Ji crouched down in front of her and held out her hand.

Bai Tang flinched, trying to hide.

A palm rested on her head, making no further moves.

Bai Tang was slightly confused.

Lan Ji smiled faintly, kneading her head and stroking her fur. It was softer than she had imagined.

Bai Tang: ??

She was molested for five minutes.

Lan Ji reluctantly got up: “I need to go cook dinner for the Young Lady.”

Seeing the person leave, Bai Tang’s stiff body gradually relaxed.

Now is a good time to escape.

She took a step, her front paws leaving the shed, but then her back paws pulled her back, and she returned to the shabby woodshed.

She suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

Even if she ran, she couldn’t escape a tragic death.

Because the villain would eventually destroy the world. If she ran now, she would still die.

In her previous life, she was sickly and spent her best years confined to a hospital room. Her only wish in this life was to live freely and happily, but as long as Xiao Xinyue existed, this wish would never come true.

The best way was to kill the villain, eliminating future troubles.

Bai Tang lay on the ground, deep in thought.

There was another option: to reform the villain—to make sure she didn’t constantly harbor the idea of world destruction.

The moment this thought popped up, Bai Tang dismissed it.

Based on her years of reading novels, reformation must start young. She herself was still a cub and couldn’t even speak. Moreover, “nursing” her could easily cause the villain to go astray.

I think the little villain is already straying.

She’s only a few years old, but she doesn’t look like a good person.

The only viable option was to kill her. No matter how powerful her magic was, there had to be a way to kill her.

Bai Tang organized her thoughts, having expended too many brain cells! She felt very tired.

She changed her position on the ground, her small tail wagged twice, and she closed her eyes. Soon, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, Bai Tang stretched her limbs.

Her sapphire-blue eyes still held the blankness of waking up. When she saw Lan Ji standing outside, she instantly snapped wide awake.

Lan Ji crouched in front of her and set down a basin.

Inside the basin was dark, bloody meat in a broth.

The stench nearly made Bai Tang throw up.

Lan Ji pushed the basin closer: “Eat.”

Bai Tang didn’t know whether to look or look away, but she really felt sick. She quickly scrambled away and dashed out.

Lan Ji watched her enter the mansion, puzzled.

This was the meat of a High-Level Magical Beast she had just hunted in the forest, something that was priceless even if sold.

Lan Ji dabbed a finger in the blood and put it in her mouth. The sweet, metallic taste spread across her tongue.

Is it not high-level enough?

Bai Tang sneaked into the mansion, finding the interior space larger than she had imagined. Not only was the outside beautiful, but the interior decor was also exquisite, with very elegant furniture colors. The overall aesthetic was harmonious.

Bai Tang looked left and right, and suddenly caught a rich aroma of meat. It was different from the meat Lan Ji had brought over; it smelled like human food.

Bai Tang sniffed the air, following the scent to the dining room.

It was dinner time.

Xiao Xinyue sat at the dining chair, her slender body perfectly straight. She was elegantly using cutlery, enjoying her dinner.

Dinner was steak, pan-seared to medium-rare, sprinkled with lemon juice, which intensified the rich aroma of the meat.

Bai Tang crouched beside the chair, her mouth watering uncontrollably.

Since transmigrating, she hadn’t had one normal meal, just raw meat, which was completely disgusting to her.

Xiao Xinyue was focused on eating and didn’t notice the spirit beast that had appeared by her feet.

She cut a piece of beef. The clinking of the cutlery was crisp. As the steak was sliced, the tender, soft meat was exposed, looking temptingly colorful.

Xiao Xinyue picked up the fork, but before she could bring it to her mouth, the piece of beef vanished.

Her phoenix eyes narrowed, and she instantly spotted the spirit beast below the chair that had stolen the food.

Xiao Xinyue bent down and picked her up. Touching the small body, she paused. It was much softer than her rabbit doll and had a warm, comfortable body temperature.

She was just about to scold her.

The little cub struggled free from her grasp, and in the blink of an eye, the rest of her dinner was devoured completely.

Xiao Xinyue was at her limit.

Bai Tang sensed the danger. She blinked her clever big eyes, let out a soft sound, and exposed her soft belly on the dining table.

Xiao Xinyue sneered: “Flirting? It won’t work on me. Tell me, should I peel off your skin, or feed you to a magical beast?”

The clear, soft child’s voice sounded terrifying in her ears. Bai Tang shivered all over.

Bai Tang stood up and rubbed her little head against Xiao Xinyue’s small hand.

The soft little head rubbing against her palm felt very comfortable.

Xiao Xinyue’s face remained impassive: “I said it won’t work. Don’t think about trying to please me.”

Bai Tang bit her lip, then licked the back of Xiao Xinyue’s delicate white hand with her pink tongue, making soft sounds, her sapphire-like eyes looking at her pitifully.

Xiao Xinyue was once again at her limit.

This time, her heart couldn’t help but melt.
