[Full] The Villain Found Out This is a Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
Sikar’s horse, though not a thief’s mount, ran well along the darkening mountain path.
Since I was completely clueless about horseback riding, I sat in front of Sikar, holding the reins—but in truth, it wasn’t the reins holding me up; it was Sikar’s arms wrapped around me from behind.
After riding for a while, Sikar finally reined in the horse.
“From here on, we should walk. The merchants might panic and flee otherwise.”
We dismounted and began walking down the forest path in search of the merchants. This was my first time here… no, actually, my first time ever walking a mountain trail at midnight.
The dim path, lit only by moonlight without a single artificial light, felt eerily desolate.
It was easy to understand why merchants would take that potion just to cross this mountain pass.
It was so pitch-black that keeping my eyes closed might have been better than keeping them open—anything could suddenly leap out at any moment.
So terrified was I that I unknowingly clung to Sikar’s arm like a leech.
“You’re being overly affectionate just because we’re alone.”
No, it’s not that—I’m just scared… Never mind. Whatever I say, he’ll just interpret it however he pleases anyway.
That’s what I thought—until he surprised me. After a short while, Sikar placed a hand on my shoulder and said,
“Right, you’re afraid of the dark. Should I carry you on my back instead? Or maybe just close your eyes? Actually, carrying you is probably better.”
“If you carry me, I’ll be scared of what’s behind me.”
“How about if I hold you from behind while we walk?”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
