Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess-Chapter 147 - 147 Do you mean me or Wangye? Part II
147 Do you mean me or Wangye? Part II
“Go!” As soon as he had Bai Yu, he ordered the men who were fighting Yue Huiling before using martial arts to jump out of the bedroom window. Bai Yu struggled with all her might but could not unbind herself from the whip that tied both her hands and feet.
“Miss, it is useless to struggle. You cannot escape.” The man mocked her futile attempt as he jumped from one tree branch to another.
“Yeah?” Bai Yu clicked her tongue, annoyed. Her manner as the noble lady was thrown aside the moment she realized that Yue Huiling could not get through the opponents to reach her. The soldiers she had secretly sent a signal to also did not seem to be able to come in time. Still, she was not the kind of person who gave up easily. Do not think that you can touch me with your red-level magic!
She closed her eyes and focused on the jade she always carried with her. The magic in her body right now was not enough to be used in fighting, but she had absorbed enough magic from this man to unlock the seal on the jade! Waves of magic surged into her body all at once. Bai Yu gritted her teeth, enduring the sudden change of the magic current.
“Stop trying, miss.”
“Shut up!” she yelled, her silver eyes wide open
“What...”
Her magic was absorbing his. The higher magic than the man’s red magic made him release her. Though Bai Yu was glad to be free, she also wanted to curse his ancestors since he suddenly let go of her without considering that he was not running on the ground...but on the tree!
Damn his mother!
.....
Being thrown midair like this...she was falling from a tree! She was released from his grasp, but she was not unbound from the whips around her feet!
Bai Yu closed her eyes tightly, preparing herself for the impact...
Grab!
“Ow!”
The pain in her forehead made her cry out loud while still having her eyes closed. But wait...she was falling from the tree, so why did her forehead hurt?
Bai Yu opened her eyes and blinked at the sight of what had attacked her forehead. It was a thumb and a middle finger that were used to flick her forehead with a familiar, gentle smile.
“Did you become this naughty because I haven’t scolded you for too long?”
“Big brother!”
This man in front of her was Bai He!
Her brother!
“Wait for me here.” Fingers that had flicked her forehead moved to pinch her cheek lightly. His arms that had helped protect her from falling down to the floor loosened and slowly moved away.
“Seal your magic. I’ll be back in a moment,” Bai He said in a tender tone, though his gaze fixed on the opponents was exceedingly sharp.
Bai Yu pulled herself back to the present. She was both overjoyed and worried about the person in front of her. Her brother had just woken up, so she was unsure that he would be able to handle all of them. Still, she moved away from the battle to avoid worrying him.
Bai Yu did not seal her magic. Her black hair started to change into silver. She conjured up a magic bow in one hand and three arrows in another. That was the most she could do in her current state. Silver arrows were aimed at the group of men relentlessly attacking her brother. Bai He could defend himself with the sword in his hand. One by one, the enemies were killed by the Yue family technique without Bai He having to use his magic once.
Thud! The magic arrow was fired at one man who had collapsed but stood up and tried to attack Bai He from behind. Bai He instantly turned around as soon as he sensed his sister’s magic.
He scolded her through eye contact before turning back to fight the opponents. This time, his magic was unleashed, as if he was in a hurry to end the fight.
Bai Yu smiled in return to his gaze. However, she still did not put away her magic. Instead, she fired her arrows to kill two more men while Bai He was attacking the man with red magic who had abducted her. It seemed that the man was quite skilled and was aiming to flee. Bai Yu collapsed to the ground, leaning against the tree. The bow in her hand dissipated on its own.
Because her normal magic had yet to return, pulling the sealed magic out to use was no different from taking it from the last reserve. Now she had none left, and her hair reflected so. It slowly turned back to its original color. Fatigue washed over her, and with it came drowsiness. But she could not sleep, not when her brother was still engaged in a fight with the opponent who seemed to be on par with him.
Bai He was strong. That, she knew, but she could not help feeling worried. Various footsteps approaching made her force her eyelids to open. The dagger she had on her was dropped somewhere while she was being tied up. The only thing she could do was to hide from the owner of those footsteps.
“Sister!” Bai Hua’s clear voice was heard as a touch fell upon her wrist to check her pulse. After examining her older sister, Bai Hua finally let out a sigh of relief. Bai Yu, too, closed her eyes.
The newcomers were soldiers who Bai Hua had called, though it seemed the last intruder had escaped by the skin of his teeth. The sound of Bai He’s voice was vaguely heard, and Bai Yu was now reassured that he was safe.
A warm touch on her cheek made her open her eyes once more. Her brother’s face, full of worry, was confirmation that he had truly woken up.
“Big brother...” A soft but hoarse voice was heard. Bai He’s anxiousness worsened. Bai Yu never thought that she would be in such a poor state that made the other person be this worried. She was only sleepy. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
Bai Yu smiled, then started acting spoiled without caring about the many pairs of eyes that were watching them. “Big brother...up.”
“...”
“I’m sleepy. I can’t walk back.”
—————–
Bai Yu fell asleep for two whole days because of the fever she had after fainting. Bai Hua said that it was because she had used up all her magic, then forced herself to come to the border, then went to the village without having a full rest, and so her body had weakened even though she was trained in martial arts.
“Actually, I’m very strong. It’s just that I suddenly want to be weak when I see brother’s face,” she said sweetly. Bai He, who was feeding her medicine next to her bed, shook his head. No matter how much he loved to spoil her, he still used a stern tone.
“I rushed here because I wanted to hug you tight, but then you used me for labor, making me carry you all the way back.”
“Once I’ve recovered, I’ll hug brother myself.” Bai Yu opened her mouth and took the last spoonful of medicine before beaming, showing her dimples despite the bitterness on her tongue.
“When you’ve recovered, I’ll send you back to be with mother. Mother is worried about you.”
“No.” She shook her head. Bai He arched his brow. “There’s something I still need to do, and I think brother can help.”
“But it’s dangerous...”
“With brother, there’s no danger to me.” 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
Bai He was troubled. He knew how his sister had changed and become much stronger, but he still could not bring her across the border. “But I have to...”
“If brother needs to sneak into Da Chu, then I can help.”
“You know about this too?” He stared at her face, confused.
This was the secret mission only he and Ouyang Feilong knew. Before he lost consciousness, he had accidentally learned about something related to Ouyang Mingxian’s ambush. It was important information, and Ouyang Feilong knew that. As soon as he woke up and was told about his sister’s whereabouts, he rushed here to see her before continuing his mission. But it seemed she had known something, to the point of mentioning Da Chu.
“I know what brother is doing. And I know brother can accomplish it.” Bai Yu squeezed his hand. She cast her eyes down to look at his larger hand, then continued without meeting her brother’s gaze. “But I’m worried, so I want to help and make sure that everybody’s safe.”
“When you say worried...”
