How To Survive as a Villain

Chapter 90: A-Yang Is Really Extraordinary.¹

When Xiao YuAn finally recovered from the shock, he was already sitting in the broken temple. A burning fire was in front of him, and his arm was already re-bandaged and treated with medicine.

There were seven or eight handsome women in nightclothes standing or sitting around, all of them were Xiao PingYang’s subordinates.

Yang LiuAn and Xiao Fengyue were cooking porridge in a pot at one corner of the temple. Meanwhile, Princess Yongning and Xiao PingYang were snuggled in another corner, wrapped in thick robes as blankets, sleeping peacefully.

Xiao YuAn turned his head and asked one of the women from the Western Shu Kingdom, who was holding a sword and was sitting with her back against the wall: “Excuse me, may I ask, why are all of you here?”

The young woman from the Western Shu Kingdom replied in an able and concise manner, which also answered everything that Xiao YuAn wanted to ask next: “Our Princess heard about the war between the two counties and was very worried about the Princess of your Country having an accident. So, she came all the way over here, and then luckily met with your bodyguard at the post station outside the Imperial City. In the end, we worked together to save her and then you.”

Xiao YuAn thanked her and then turned around, looking at the burning fire while holding his head. He was trying really hard to fully understand exactly when this fascinating plot began to go mad.

Then he realized that ever since he transmigrated to this place, the plot hasn’t been right at all.

So, Xiao YuAn held his head with both hands trying to remember how the original plot actually went by.

When he thought about it, everything that happened until now, it really didn’t feel right.

In the original book, Yan HeQing and Xiao PingYang got along with each other in a strange and peaceful way. Unlike the other women in Yan HeQing’s harem, who were provocative, attracting his attention and playing with him. Xiao PingYang’s plot was all about assisting the Imperial Government and managing the harem.

By picking up a single scenario from the original plot, everything that happened now looked even more weird.

In the original book, Xiao PingYang and Princess Yongning never met each other, but Xiao PingYang knew that there was such a white moonlight² Princess hidden in Yan HeQing’s heart. One day, Yan HeQing looked at the portrait of Princess Yongning, and Xiao PingYang simply asked him: “Is that her?”

Yan HeQing nodded his head, but didn’t say anything else.

Xiao PingYang studied the portrait for a long while and then softly whispered: “She’s really beautiful.”

One must know that before this, Xiao PingYang never said a single word about the members of Yan HeQing’s harem.

That chapter was torn in the comment section for a long time. Some people said that Xiao PingYang was just feeling jealous. Some other people said that this was the evidence that proved that Xiao PingYang didn’t like Yan HeQing in a romantic way, since otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for her to praise Yan HeQing’s beautiful white moonlight without any hesitation.

Xiao YuAn, who was now looking at the sleeping female lead and second female lead, after recalling the original plot; the only thing he wanted to do was to go back to the 21st century, find the author, and then pull his collar yelling in his face: What the hell were you trying to say?!!!

The morning temperature in the Northern Kingdom was extremely low, and Xiao PingYang, who came from the Western Shu Kingdom, couldn’t adapt to the cold at all. She pursed her lips and shrunk her body, such a move woke up the sleeping Princess Yongning. She rubbed her eyes, carefully pulled up her outer robe to cover Xiao PingYang’s body, and then gently took care of her; rubbing her arms and hugging Xiao PingYang, who seemed afraid of the cold, and then went to sleep again.

Xiao YuAn, who had a good view of everything that happened a few seconds ago, suddenly felt very relieved.

So what if it’s a thousand miles away from the original plot? It didn’t matter what the author wanted to express in the original book, as long as Princess Yongning is safe, happy and healthy, who cares about anything else?

Inexplicably, Xiao YuAn recalled the conversation he had with Yan HeQing before running away.

When Yan HeQing told him that Princess Yongning was unharmed, the internal meaning wasn’t saying “from now on your sister will be left in my hands”, but was simply trying to reassure Xiao YuAn?

Speaking of Yan HeQing…. He was a bit miserable. His first wife and second wife all ran away, no wonder there was always a hint of abandonment and frustration in his voice when they talked before, right? So it turns out it was all due to both his wives rejecting him?

While Xiao YuAn was still thinking about these things, Princess Yongning, now awake, suddenly leaned over, her face close to his. Her eyes blinked in curiosity as she asked: “What are you thinking about, Imperial Brother? You look so serious.”

Xiao YuAn’s head moved, and without much thought, he blurted out: “Yan HeQing.”

For some reason, Xiao YuAn felt that the broken temple suddenly quieted down for a full second.

Yang LiuAn and Xiao Fengyue looked at him, then they looked at each other and let out a long sigh. All of them had a face that said “Fate plays tricks on people³”. Meanwhile, Xiao PingYang coughed twice, wanting to say something, but stayed silent.

Before Xiao YuAn could even react, he saw that Princess Yongning’s eyes suddenly reddened as she held his hand tightly: “Imperial brother, don’t think about him anymore. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, the world is limitless, so you will definitely meet a better one.”

What? What the fuck? Wait, wait a minute?! Is there any kind of misunderstanding?

Xiao YuAn would like to ask the heavens, but he had no words: “No, I…”

“It’s okay Imperial brother, we won’t talk about him anymore. Shall we talk about something else?” Princess Yongning tries to raise her smile, as if trying to infect Xiao YuAn.

Xiao YuAn: “Wait, I…”

Xiao PingYang stood up and came over: “Your Majesty, it’s already dawn outside. Let’s get ready.”

Xiao YuAn: “I wasn’t blaming him…”

“Your Majesty, the porridge is ready. Please, come and eat it while it’s still hot. Everyone, hurry over as well.” Xiao Fengyue called softly from the other side of the temple.

Hence, this group of people sat around the fire, and talked and laughed about past events.

Xiao YuAn: “…”
