Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

Feng Xue had a dumbfounded expression on her face when she heard him call poison a treasure and the fact that he had a smile on his face while giving it to her as if he was doing some good deed.

Asking her to sacrifice herself for the majority? She was seriously furious right now!

And instead of keeping her thoughts to herself, She yelled:

"You... What kind of cultivator you are? You want to sacrifice me just to save yourself and these goods of yours? Aren't you a core-formation cultivator just like him? Why are you admitting defeat without even trying? Shouldn't you fight for the weak as a strong cultivator?"

"Also, why should I sacrifice myself for your carriage goods and workers? If I am going to die then isn't it better to get you all to accompany me?"

In others' eyes, she appeared as a nascent soul realm cultivator right now due to the Schine inside her body, preventing her from using qi.

"You think you have a choice?" The old man revealed a sinister smile to her: "You are just a weak nascent soul cultivator. I can simply knock you down unconscious and hand you over to them, however, I am giving you a way out of this. To let you sacrifice yourself willingly and escape from the horrifying pain you will suffer"

"Also, I can't fight Ki Jotu. I'm just a merchant who cultivates and doesn't fight. I've no skills whatsoever, while Jotu has honed himself in countless battles. I stand no chance against him in combat. Try to understand Young Lady, I'm doing this because I have no choice! Please sacrifice yourself willingly and don't force me any further!"

Feng Xue gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at Ashen for help.

"What? What do you want from me now? Didn't you say you weren't going to talk with me?" Ashen asked with amusement.

"H-Help me!" Feng Xue hesitantly spoke softly.

Ashen nodded with a smile: "Alright, I'll help you with talking here"

Saying that, Ashen stepped forward as he proposed: "Old sir, why don't we ask for everyone's opinion here? Does everyone think that we should sacrifice her here for the sake of the majority? It would also give her a better idea of how many agree with her that she is in the right here. What do you think?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, that's a brilliant idea!"

Hehe, in this way, I won't seem like a bad guy who sacrificed a lone weak woman, instead, it would be everyone's decision!

The old man thought before announcing to everyone present:

"Everyone, please come to the carriage where I am!"

His voice reverberated in the area as everyone moved to the carriage where Ashen and the others were.

Most people made a circle around the carriage when there wasn't enough space for everyone.

After making sure that everyone was present, he continued:

"Everyone, I'm sure you know about the demand that they've asked of us to fulfill. Now, I ask for your help in deciding the action we should take. If you vote that their demand should be accepted and this young lady should be sacrificed for the majority then raise your hand, otherwise keep it down!"

"Now, on the count of three, show your vote!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Raise!-Raise!Raise!-Raise!Raise!-Raise!....

Innumerable hands rose in the air as Feng Xue's eyes were wide open in shock to see this. She went to the edge of the carriage to look down and see the vote of the people surrounding the carriage.

She continuously changed her location, going to see every person's vote. She wanted to find atleast one hand that was down.

However, After minutes of searching, she understood that everyone here wanted her to sacrifice herself for them.

She returned to the side of Ashen with a dejected expression as she bit her lower lip in frustration.

Ashen leaned to whisper in her ear: "Don't worry, You have atleast my vote for no sacrifice. See, I didn't raise it, my hand!"

Meanwhile, the old man laughed: "Hahaha, See young lady, It isn't me who is forcing you, instead, everyone wants that! It is for the better if you'd sacrifice yourself here. Everyone here will remember you in their hearts. You'll die an honorable death by protecting all of us!"

At this moment, Jotu's heavy voice came crashing down: "Hey old fart, How long will you make me wait? Hurry up, otherwise, I'll simply take everything!"

"Yes yes, It'll be over in a minute, sir!" The old man hurriedly bowed and replied with a smile.

"Hypocrites!" Feng Xue muttered with an angry gaze toward the old man and everyone present.

The old man, while narrowing his eyes in a threatening manner, said angrily: "What did you say? Don't you know how you should talk to someone stronger than you? Now go and get out of this carriage. Sir Jotu won't wait any longer for you!"

Feng Xue didn't even pay attention to him and instead bowed in front of Ashen as sincerely as possible: "Your Highness, Please... Please allow me to use my real strength!"

Feng Xue knew that Ashen wouldn't sacrifice her to these bandits, therefore her only safe bet out of this situation was Ashen himself.

And Ashen didn't disappoint her in the slightest.

He nodded in agreement: "Alright Feng Xue, I'll allow you to use your real strength. It seems we cannot avoid a confrontation anymore. I wanted to travel without any incidents that would attract attention to us, but this is fine. I'll take care of their leader for you and you can take care of the others!"

A joyous and relieved smile appeared on Feng Xue's countenance: "Understood Your Highness!"

Snap!

Ashen snapped his fingers, relieving Feng Xue of the Schine's bond which stopped her from using her qi.

Meanwhile, the old man was dumbfounded and impatient after hearing their conversation.

"What kind of act are you playing here? Why are you calling him your Highness? Just looking like a prince doesn't actually make you one! You've been testing my patience from the start, Looks like I'll have to use force after all..." The old man kept on rambling before,

"SHUT IT!" Feng Xue's powerful voice reverberated in everyone's ears as the powerful aura of King Realm gushed out of her, violently throwing away the old man.
