Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 123 - 119: We’re All Earthlings, Let’s Be Friendly

Chapter 123: Chapter 119: We’re All Earthlings, Let’s Be Friendly

Shen Jingxian finished speaking and saw a trace of anxiety finally appear in the eyes of the man before her, whose gaze had been unfocused until now.

Shen Jingxian did not deliberately dress up when coming to the dungeon; she simply changed out of the white clothes she wore in the hall and put on a dark outfit instead, so that any dirt wouldn’t be noticeable.

Her intention was merely to avoid getting dirty, but in Bai Lun’s eyes, the woman in dark robes possessed an unparalleled beauty, exuding a cold arrogance that kept people at a distance. It was a pride that she was born with.

Her ink-black hair cascaded down like clouds, scattering around her waist, appearing casual yet ethereal and captivating, stirring souls and enticing imagination with lips as red as cherries.

Upon catching a clear glimpse of Shen Jingxian’s appearance, Bai Lun’s eyes flashed with amazement followed by a straightforward remark, "Wow, gorgeous!"

Shen Jingxian:...

Indeed, it was the most sincere comment from a modern person. Thank you and your entire family for it.

Shen Jingxian did not speak. The two Hidden Guards beside her, although unable to fully understand the remark, instinctively felt it was not a good word. Immediately, they punched threateningly against the iron bars where the man was, "How dare you! Show due respect to Princess Yi Fen and kneel before her!"

Upon hearing Princess Yi Fen’s name, Bai Lun’s expression visibly changed. Shen Jingxian immediately understood that this person had read novels featuring her; she just didn’t know if the novel he read was the same as the one she read.

If it was not the same book, what kind of role would she play in the novel he read?

Shen Jingxian still did not open her mouth. She wanted to see how this man would respond in such a situation.

Would he give in or stand firm?

"I am a scholar; scholars kneel to the heavens above and parents below, but shall not kneel to anyone else!"

Oh! There it appears! The classic line of a transmigrator—must-have golden phrase in early novels!

You don’t kneel, I don’t kneel; the Emperor tomorrow shall sleep with you!

You’re rude, you’re arrogant; tomorrow the Prince’s crematorium awaits!

These rules apply to men and women alike.

Shen Jingxian couldn’t fathom which era this brother of hers had transmigrated from; he was really... reckless.

"Audacious!"

The Hidden Guards were incensed, itching to tear this man apart. They’ve watched her highness grow up, their cherished Princess. How could she suffer such humiliation??

But the Princess intervened, "It’s alright, step back."

"Indeed, a scholar must have principles. Without these principles, swayed by tides, inevitably the country would be consumed by parasites in time."

The Hidden Guards were indignant; this man is unreasonable, is foolish, how can he have any principles! Kneeling to the heavens and parents, what about the Emperor, would he dare not to kneel? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He clearly looks down on the Princess!

Outrageous!

Yet Bai Lun, feeling somewhat buoyant after being capped with such a big label, glanced casually at Shen Jingxian, adopting modern people’s flirting tactics, leaning lightly against the iron bars, winking a flirtatious gesture towards the Princess, "Certainly the Princess knows the reason."

Shen Jingxian dodged disdainfully, "But principles must be unwavering, one must be willing to die for their beliefs. Do you, scholar, think this is right?"

Bai Lun seemed to realize only then that he hadn’t yet told the Princess his name, "What scholar, I’m called Bai Lun. The Princess may call me by name."

The Hidden Guard crushed the dagger handle in his hand. This man, so disrespectful, truly deserves death!

Yet the Princess, faced with such provocation, remained unfazed, truly worthy of royal bloodline.

"Bai Lun, do you believe people should pay the appropriate price for their own wrongdoing?"

Bai Lun hadn’t yet realized a danger was looming as he answered honestly, "Of course!"

"Good, then use your life as the price for your disrespect just now."

"What?!" Bai Lun hadn’t reacted yet when the two men who had been glaring at him viciously had eagerly opened the cell door and reached him in no time.

"Kill him slowly, it wouldn’t be fun if he dies too quickly."

Bai Lun raised his head in shock, unable to believe how such a beautiful woman could utter such perverted words!

"Hey! Everyone, let’s talk this through!!"

But the Hidden Guards would faithfully execute their master’s orders, undistracted by other matters, and wouldn’t halt their actions.

Dark One raised his hand, and the dagger fell, slicing off a piece of meat from Bai Lun. Bai Lun was utterly panicked, retreating into a corner, "Wow, are you serious!! This is playing with lives, do you know that? It’s illegal!! You’re a Princess, a Princess breaking the law, aren’t you ashamed!"

Shen Jingxian:...

She couldn’t discern whether this person was truly stupid or pretending.

Surely modern people couldn’t be this dumb, right?

This foolish transmigrator, she had only seen such in ancient transmigration novels some ten years ago.

Could it be... their timelines were different?

Shen Jingxian very much wanted to understand this, but now, she must first make Bai Lun realize his situation, otherwise, if this man doesn’t listen, he will become a ticking time bomb.

"Yunyi Law Article 587, civilians who insult Imperial Family children through words, actions, or writings, shall be punished by being bulldozed, dismembered, or subjected to other extreme penalties."

Shen Jingxian suddenly realized, "Do you dislike being dismembered and prefer being bulldozed? That’s fine too."

Finally, the prison guard had a chance to speak, hurriedly forward to offer assistance, "Your Highness, shall we prepare the equipment for bulldozing? I’ll arrange it immediately."

"Yes, go ahead."

Bai Lun was now truly panicking; he knew bulldozing, an ancient execution where one’s head and limbs were tied to five separate carts, each horse or ox pulling in a different direction, brutally tearing the body into five pieces, also known as being divided by five horse.

No way, how could this Princess be so brutal; this wasn’t how it was in the novel he read, which described the Princess as favoring those indifferent to her beauty, yet it was different with him.

His shell wasn’t ugly, could it be the Princess didn’t like his type?

Screwed, really screwed, Bai Lun you fool, let your mouth be wicked!

Yet through this, Bai Lun for the first time truly grasped how strong the consciousness of hierarchy was in this era; just joking with a Princess could get him divided by five horses, he really wanted to cry!

Is there any way to survive this, he really doesn’t want to die!!!

The spot on Bai Lun’s arm where a piece of meat had been gouged throbbed with pain, as if reminding him of his stupidity before; his only advantage now was knowing the plot of the original book, he could use this to feign foreseeing the future.

Yes! Just like that!!

"Wait!! Princess, don’t kill me!! I can foresee the future!!"

Shen Jingxian’s tense heart suddenly relaxed, finally, he came around, she was so exhausted acting.

Actually if Bai Lun had kept holding on and wouldn’t relent, she couldn’t possibly put him through extreme penalties.

We are all Earthlings, let’s be friendly~
