Life of a Villain

A man in a black robe with silvery whitish hair and a blue-haired woman in a green robe stood at a distance in a room in a large courtyard, staring at a beautiful girl lying on a plush bed. Her pale face had a slight reddish tinge to it and was stained with tears, while her eyelashes fluttered incessantly, as if she was having a nightmare.

As he rubbed his lips with his fingers as his lost eyes stared at the girl on the bed, his body quivered slightly when a woman's voice reached his ears.

"Who is this girl? And what kind of pill was that? Suddenly, I felt as if I had made some kind of connection with her."

Andy frowned for a moment before turning his head to face her.

"What did you say?"

Susan fell silent for a moment as her blue eyes locked on Andy, before opening her mouth to say slowly, "Who is this girl? And what kind of pill was that? Suddenly, I felt as if I had made some kind of connection with her."

"Oh! That's the maid I've arranged for you. The pill was simply the owner's pill. She will be truly devoted to you as long as you are alive. Since you cannot cultivate, she will serve as your bodyguard." Andy's voice reached her ears, as he looked at her with a slight smile on his face.

"Cultivate?" Susan muttered as her heart skipped a beat and a frown formed on her face as she stared down Shi Yi.

But her brows relaxed and her expression softened as she spotted those quivering eyelashes.

"What were you thinking when you did that to her? She appears to be a girl from a well-off family. And you made her my slave. Who does not even know who I am?"

As her words ended, she turned her head to face Andy, who was staring at Sleeping Shi Yi.

"Some things are better left unsaid. But always remember that everything we do has a cause and an effect." And as soon as he finished speaking, Andy turned around and left the room, while Susan's eyes were attracted to his departing figure.

"Cause and effect?" she mumbled as her gaze drew to the sleeping figure.

------------------------------

As soon as Andy exited the room, Demon Lord's voice echoed in his head,

"You gave the pill to that girl, but what about you? That Shi Yi will not be loyal to you and could harm you in some or the other way."

"You don't have to be concerned about that. I'm curious to see how far she can go. But there was a reason for making her Susan's slave; at the very least, she wouldn't do anything that would harm Susan, who couldn't cultivate for the time being, and once she reclaims her power. I will deal with Shi Yi." Andy mumbled as he walked to his room.

But his steps came to a halt when he heard a loud knock on the gate. A frown formed on his face as his gaze was drawn to the door.

"Who is it?" he murmured as he approached the gate. But as soon as he opened the gate, his heartbeat quickened. He noticed a woman dressed in a red cheongsam, her black hair neatly tied, and bloodshot eyes staring at him. Various emotions rose in his heart, but he kept a stoic expression on his face as he stared at the woman in front of him.

The woman, on the other hand, was taken aback when she noticed the tall, masked young man in a black robe standing in front of her. She had the feeling she had known this young man for a long time. However, the image of her injured son flashed through her mind. Rage welled up once more in her heart but a soft voice interrupted her thoughts.

"You?"

Her lost eyes regained some clarity as she focused on the young man in front of her, whose blue eyes were staring at her.

"You were the one, right?" Slowly, the words came out of her mouth, her palms clenched into fists, her lips pulled back, and her hateful gaze fell on the man.

Andy's brows arched as he heard those words, but a chuckle escaped his lips. "What if I was the only one? And who exactly are you?"

When the woman saw the man's chuckle, her rage flared up and an overwhelming pressure seeped out of her. However, she was dumbfounded when she saw the man grinning and a tint of red appear in his blue eyes, which were peering at her.

"Do you think spreading some pitiful pressure would scare me? A man did the same thing a while ago, and now you... Oh! I see, now I understand," as he peered at the woman, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"Are you related to that useless, one-eyed idiot and have come here to seek compensation, as you did with... Ah! I can't remember his name." Andy rubbed his brow as if he was thinking deeply. But then his gaze was drawn to the woman in front of him.

"It's Lu An, right?"

He smirked as he noticed the woman trembling violently and her eyes bloodshot; he slightly bent and looked directly at the woman "You're getting angry, aren't you? You want to squish me, don't you?" But as soon as he said those words, his smile faded and his reddish blue eyes locked on the woman in front of him.

"Don't joke with me. I told that man before, and I'm telling you now, don't make a mistake you'll regret later. Be thankful that I only extracted one eyeball and did not go all out to exterminate your entire family. And don't think I don't know who you are," He came to a halt and looked at the woman in front of him.

"A member of the Phoenix continent's runaway Yan Family. Don't think I don't know that you people were hunted like a pig and fled like a dog to settle here by disguising yourselves. Heh, don't ask me how I know so much about you people. But keep that in mind if anything were to happen to me or anyone close to me. Your entire family will vanish from the face of the earth."

He paused again, and a rainbow fruit appeared on his hand, which he threw at the stunned woman in front of her, whose mouth was slightly open and her lost-looking eyes were staring at the man before her, and the pressure from her slowly dissipated.

"Take this as compensation for that idiot and leave; don't even think about sending anyone else to have their eyeballs plucked out to get compensation from me." As soon as he said those words, he turned around and walked inside, slamming the door in her face.

The woman stayed rooted to the spot, unable to comprehend what had happened as her gaze fixed on the closed gate. Clarity appeared in her eyes after a while, as a tear slid down her cheek as she slowly looked down to see a rainbow-colored fruit in her hand.
