This is Not How You Use a Villainess Sir

Chapter 34: Sir, That’s Not How You Use a Bad Woman

“……?”

Such simple words, yet Shanoa found them incredibly taxing to understand at the moment, her mind a blank slate.

“So, I will indeed have to leave for a while when I go back to report, but we’ll see each other again afterward.”

The Dead Sea’s borderlands are now indeed a good place to live, he became its lord, free to idle as he pleases.

Considering his trial this time, having been unofficially ruled over, there might still be some old fogeys in the Longyan family who are displeased with him.

Why doesn’t Chu Yan just settle down by the Dead Sea border?

Here, he could slack off and fish without a care in the world, with no one to hold him accountable!

And he could wait for his guardian to return.

All gain and no loss!

Xia Nuoya asked incredulously, “Are you… serious?”

Chu Yan put away his playful smile and nodded heavily, “Really.”

Xia Nuoya’s emotions became complicated; she was both excited and embarrassed.

It made her last night’s drunken antics seem so foolish!

She was petrified on the spot, and if a breeze were to blow through, the petrified Xia Nuoya might just crack open.

Thinking back to the sadness, contemplation, reluctance, and desperation she showed last night, Xia Nuoya really wanted to faint and forget all those memories!

So shameful!

“Why didn’t you make it clear last night?!”

She asked indignantly, her beautiful eyes annoyed.

From noble mtl dot come

“I wanted to, but you silenced me, saying you didn’t want to hear… How about you pretend I didn’t just say that, and ‘surprise’ yourself when I return after reporting back?”

“Deluding myself?!”

Faced with Xia Nuoya’s resignation, Chu Yan didn’t know what to say to comfort her.

But seeing her frantically covering her face, she seemed quite adorable.

Just as Chu Yan was thinking of changing the subject to lighten the mood, he noticed something unexpected—

On Xia Nuoya’s voluptuous legs, there was an antique metal leg ring, engraved with exquisite patterns and occasionally shimmering with mysterious magical glows.

How this leg ring triggered, Chu Yan was all confused.

While Shanaoya tried to take it off, the leg ring wouldn’t leave her big white legs for long, and would soon “transmit” back.

She spent half the day fiddling with it, confirming that it didn’t bring her any bad effects, and could only temporarily give up.

……

The waiting time for the exam is undoubtedly happy.

This entire day, Chu Yan went out to the outer city district to stroll around, signing off on the construction plan, and then returned to the lord’s quarters to idle.

Unbeknownst, it was already night, and the time for sunset had passed.

But when he thought about the past, Chu Yan didn’t feel like sleeping on the bed tonight.

Especially since he had initially thought, “When the time comes to share the bed, I’ll just make a run for it.”

He was really feeling guilty.

So, Chu Yan moved the pillow that the officer’s lady had slept on to the bedroom, made a makeshift bed, and deliberately slept on the floor.

“You’re quite self-aware, and this might be the lord’s sincere intention at its finest moment.”

Shanaoya spoke in a subtle tone of disdain.

“This is just a small part of my human nature, anyway!”

Chu Yan pulled up the quilt, feeling comfortable and relaxed as he enjoyed the rest.

Not long after, the quilt was lifted up, and a warm, soft, and plump warmth squeezed into the bed.

Shanaoya **tugged her hair, pretending to say, “There’s a scent on the bed, even after washing the sheets, I’m not used to it.”

Understood, understood.

Chu Yan nodded, saying generously:

“It’s okay, just sleep with me, I’m not stingy, I won’t keep track, but if I hug you, I’ll have to keep track~”

“……”

Shanaoya felt like she was being hinted at, and was sulking, unable to speak.

The 33rd chapter: Bound Nuns

Chu Yan suddenly remembered something he hadn’t handled, until he went downstairs today and saw those Asian-bound nuns again, only then did he remember.

What’s the matter with these people?

Can it be that these nuns, in their normal “state of enlightenment,” are just binding themselves and locking themselves in a room?

“Shanaoya, what’s going on with these people?”

Shanaoya, who was walking downstairs with him, only reacted after being mentioned.

Chu Yan woke up and was only concerned with his nighttime training, forgetting that these nuns also needed him to take care of them.

It’s only now that time is not too late.

If we wait for the executioner lady to arrive, it would be a serious problem if she discovers that the church’s clergy have been treated this way!

“Cough cough… These nuns were bound by Omeika and her group. While you were unconscious, we wanted the nuns to check on you. Healing magic is almost a compulsory skill for all clergy, much more reliable than us, the tabooed. “

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan felt he knew what had happened and said:

“They refused to cooperate, so you tied them up to coerce them?”

Xia Nuoya’s expression was complex as she shook her head and said solemnly:

“Not entirely. Initially, we planned to coerce them into checking on you, but when Omeika burst into the room, she found the nuns ‘stealing’ something…”

Stealing?

Chu Yan didn’t understand and, puzzled, asked:

“What do you mean? They locked themselves in a room; what could they steal? The castle doesn’t have anything valuable, does it?”

The former lord’s castle might have had many valuables, but the current lord resigned, and his descendants, fearing the harsh ecology here, fled.

All the valuables from this place were taken away. Even if there was any “surplus grain,” it was sold to traveling merchants by the nobles of the Dead Sea.

Chu Yan got that journal, thanks to that elf merchant.

“Chu Yan, you’ve overlooked something—the divine array known as the Miracle, which suppresses the taboo power, preventing it from going out of control.”

Xia Nuoya began to describe the situation at that time in detail.

The moment Omeika broke into the room, she found the nuns kneeling on the bed, hands clasped, engaged in some prayer ritual.

During this ritual, a familiar power was slowly flowing into the bodies of these nuns.

Every tabooed person imprisoned in the Dead Sea, although they had never seen the true face of that array, it was like an invisible rule branded here, but they were very familiar with the power of the array.

It was impossible to mistake it!

These nuns were absorbing, stealing the power of the array!

The regular change of personnel was simply because the previous group of nuns had absorbed their fill, and new ones came to continue the absorption.

Like dockworkers, they repeated the process of loading, unloading, and changing shifts.

And this process had been going on for many years!

A dike thousands of miles long may collapse due to an ant hole; this divine array, known as the Miracle, was also weakened by the church’s absorption.

Realizing this, the tabooed ones quickly tied them up, interrupting their absorption ritual.

As for healing Chu Yan, it was a threat to their own lives—if they didn’t want to heal, they would be killed.

Chu Yan held his forehead, a point emerging in his mind, and he suddenly said:

“At the barbecue gathering before, Omeika mentioned that the power of the array was weakening, making your recovery time longer than before.

Is it because of the nuns’ long-term ‘stealing’ that the array has weakened?!”

Seeing that he had grasped the most crucial point of the matter, Xia Nuoya nodded and said:

“Yes, this is probably the directive of the church’s higher-ups. We can’t decide; it’s up to you.”

Though it’s said, Xia Nuoya is well aware that it’s a difficult situation for Chu Yan as well.

To kill these nuns outright would mean making an enemy of the Church.
