Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

Chapter 18: What an idiot Part II 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

“Force your way in.”

“Yes, miss.” The four replied. After a moment of forceful pushes, the door finally opened, revealing a room that was smaller and in a much worse state than Bai Yu’s room.

“Greetings to first miss.” The female lead’s personal maid hurried to curtsy to her.

“Where’s my sister?” She asked, acting like she did not notice anything.

“Uh...”

“What is it...”

“I’m here!” Bai Hua walked out from behind the divider with a face full of sweat.

.....

Seemed that I gave you all quite a fright.

“Oh, so meimei’s here.” Bai Yu scanned Bai Hua from top to bottom.

The heroine was in the same white dress as before. There was nothing out of ordinary, no sign of panting or gasping even though she just ran back. Her clothes and hair were tidy. The only thing amiss was her shoes that were noticeably covered in dirt.

Hmph! I’ll turn a blind eye to that, then.

“What’s the matter, first sister?” Her harsh tone was opposite to her words.

“I’m just dissatisfied with your manner in front of Wei Wang, so as a good sister, I come to lecture you.”

She approached her sister. Bai Yu was slightly taller than Bai Hua, so she used her fingers, still wrapped in bandages, to lifted Bai Hua’s chin up and forced their eyes to meet. Her phoenix eyes stared at the calm woman, unlike her usual cowardly personality.

“You’re just a child born from a lowly concubine. Don’t you dare act inappropriately in public, otherwise they might think there’s no one to teach you manners.” Bai Yu said coldly. The phoenix eyes met the peach blossom eyes that glared back without a trace of fear.

Whoa! She had already died once yet her acting was still intact.

“Why aren’t you apologizing to the first miss?” Xiao Xi added when she saw that the woman was standing still and had no sign of showing respect.

“Or you only know manners when you’re in front of men?”

“You!” Bai Hua darted at Bai Yu but was stopped by Xiao Zi and Xiao Tao.

“You what!?” Bai Yu snapped. Her mouth formed a wicked sneer. “...I said this much and you still can’t accept the truth. I guess teaching animals might be easier!”

“You’ve crossed the line!” Bai Hua shook off her two maids and continued to rush to her. Bai Yu glanced at her four maids, then immediately two of them went to hold Bai Hua down to kneel in front of Bai Yu. Another two knowingly took hold of Bai Hua’s two maids.

What a quality team to support the villainess.

“If you had shown me manners, this would not have to happen.”

The pretty face that she hated lifted up. The peach blossom eyes that stared straight at her were saying that she would not accept defeat even when being held down. It was this same look that made the male characters fall in love with her.

But right now...no matter how many male characters there are. No one can come and help you!

Though this was to indirectly help Bai Hua, the villainess still could not pass the opportunity to get back at the impudent heroine. No matter how many beatings she ordered here, Ouyang Wenrou could not help her, because fate had already changed! But of course, she would not beat Bai Hua...since you had to be merciful to animals while in the temple.

“I’ll give you two options...” Bai Yu straightened her back as she looked down on the person in front of her like she was only an insignificant pebble. “...Keep your head down, or go against me!”

No matter what world this woman came from, if she was in Bai Hua’s body who was lower than Bai Yu, then she had to be respectful toward her. No matter how smart and capable Bai Hua really was, she had no rights to rebel against the first miss!

When someone treated her right, she also treated them right.

When someone hurt her, she hurt them back.

When someone was a faker, then she would expose their true face!

“Release her.” Bai Yu did not wait for an answer. She would let Bai Hua continue to think about it herself. She did not want an ‘answer’ from anybody’s mouth because she had been lied to enough. She only believed their actions!

But apart from that...let her have some fun for herself then.

“Bring me her clothes.”

The four maids promptly acted according to her order. Shortly, dresses in a light color with lotus embroidery patterns were present to her. Though the quality of the fabric and the handiwork were not as beautiful as Bai Yu’s, it was better than what the maids were wearing.

Bai Yu divided the good fabric clothes into four equally.

“Jiejie’s new maids don’t have clothes to wear. So jiejie hope that meimei will take pity on the servants.”

Bai Yu huffed before turning away.

In the end...that face that Bai Hua had still made Bai Yu unable to be nice to her at all. Hmph!

—————-

“I’ll blow out the candle now, miss.”

“Mm.”

Candlelight disappeared as soon as she replied and was replaced by the dim glow from the moon. Bai Yu sat beside her window as she looked up at the bright full moon. Her two hands gripping her warm blanket while her thoughts wandered. Just what led her life to this point?

Starting from Li Wenrou, who she tried to forget but could not...With a glimpse at Ouyang Wenrou in this life, Bai Yu knew for sure that her heart was still full of him.

Just because she had committed suicide did not mean that she did not love him anymore. It only meant that she had no ways left to hold him close. Even with death...she still could not make him come back to her.

She loved him so much, yet he also hurt her so cruelly.

To make the matters worse, the heart of this body also had its own feelings for Ouyang Mingxian. Love. Disappointment. Hope. Hurt. These were no different from what she felt toward Li Wenrou.

Sometimes Bai Yu wanted to be alone in her room so that she could heal her own heart, yet she could not because she was now Miss Bai Yu who was moving toward a pitiful end. As she was trying to come to terms with her feelings, Bai Hua was moving forward according to the story. She could not stay still and let Bai Hua make her face that same end! Eventually, as the days went on, Bai Yu could only try to contain both love and hatred within her as she continued to fight her fate.

As long as the mountains were still green, there was no fear of lacking firewood.* Right now she came to life again, and this was the greatest reward she could hope for.

“Just start again as Bai Yu is enough.”

Bai Yu whispered to herself as she extended her hand forward. A red light from her magic appeared at her bandaged fingertips before coming together to form a shape of a red butterfly that slowly flew away from her hands.

This was the method of a magical messenger, though today she did not have any message to send, only calling the butterfly out to play in the night breeze.

The translucent wings carried themselves upward. Bai Yu followed its movement with her eyes, enjoying the sight of a red butterfly on the backdrop of the moon. Her unconscious smile revealed two tiny dimples on her cheeks.

After a while of wasting her power on playing, Bai Yu waved her hand, intending to retract her magic. Suddenly, a silver light caught her eyes, and as she squinted at it, she realized that it was a silver butterfly that was teasing with her own red butterfly.

This butterfly was created by magic. And it was silver-level magic, even!

Her eyes widened. She looked around trying to find the owner of that magic but could not find anyone. When she looked up again, she saw that the silver butterfly was fluttering away.

Follow...I have to follow...

Her red butterfly also followed the mysterious butterfly. Bai Yu hurriedly wore her shoes before jumping out the window. She rushed her two legs as she ran after the silver butterfly. Her small, handwarmer was left on the bed. Her large blanket lay abandoned on the chair she had sat on.

Bai Yu did not know why she had to follow that butterfly. She only knew that something within her told her that she had to do it.

After a while of running, the silver butterfly finally slowed down and flew downward. Her small hands tried to catch it in an attempt to find its owner through the aura left in the magic, but before her hands could come close to it, the butterfly suddenly disappeared. At the same time, her ankle was grabbed by something, causing her to lose her balance.

“Shiiiiiiiiitttttt!”

“Ouch!”

She unconsciously exclaimed in her mother tongue again. Her slender form fell over, messing up her hair. Bai Yu sat up and inspected herself. She found that she was not hurt at all and the fall was not even painful. it seemed that the ground beneath was more hurt...since she heard a groan...

Wait! A groan?

“You!” Her eyes widened again as she realized that she was sitting on a ‘person’! This was not a talking ground, but a human being who let her sit on without pushing away.

Not because he did not feel her weight or did not feel hurt, but because he was so heavily injured that he could not move! 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

“...Red...magic...” A low voice of a man pulled Bai Yu out of her thoughts. She moved herself away from his legs.

“It...it was my magic.”

She said to him softly while trying to recall an event where a villainess met a mysterious man in this circumstance. But no matter how hard she tried to think and rethink, she still had to insist to herself that there was no scene like this in the series. Was she facing an out-of-control situation again!

“Use your magic...s-stop...my bleeding.” The gruff voice attempted to communicate to her weakly. Bai Yu looked at the trail of blood on the ground and up to the wound of the injured man.

Her fear of blood made her hands shake.

“I-I don’t know how.”

“What an...idiot.”

I transmigrated here to be an eye candy villainess, not a competent heroine!
