Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!



The door of the carriage opened, and a person stepped out. 

"I can help you with that..." A voice fell in Xu Shan's ears, making him divert his attention towards the carriage. 

There, he saw the person who was so vehemently being protected by the guards. Surprisingly, it was a little girl, who appeared to be eleven or twelve years old. 

Behind the girl was a woman, who appeared to be her maid. However, the maid was even stronger than the Leader of the Guards. It was as if she was the last layer of protection. 

Xu Shan found it strange that even when the Leader of the Guards was taken down, the Maid hadn't revealed herself. It was as if she wasn't willing to leave the side of the little girl, even if the man was to die protecting her. 

The Maid looked at Xu Shan with a little wariness. Her eyes were alert, as if she didn't trust Xu Shan entirely. 

On the other hand, Xu Shan was more focused on the young girl, who was being protected by these people. On her left hand, he could see Mark of a Celestial Spirit. However, her Celestial Spirit Mark was somewhat different. 

It was very faded, and had only one star, which was the weakest grade. Usually, big families often abandoned weaklings like her, or at least stopped paying attention to them. However, she was not only being protected, but also being targeted by the Shadow Temple. 

"Oh? And how can you help me?" Xu Shan asked, as he casually took a step closer to the girl. 

The maid frowned, and stepped forward. Her hand went straight to the hilt of her sword. However, before she could even touch her sword, she noticed Xu Shan disappear. 

The woman felt a cold blade against her throat as a man's whispers fell in her ears, Trust me. You don't want to do that."

The next moment, Xu Shan appeared back in his original place, keeping his dagger back. "Shall we continue?"

The maid frowned, but she lowered her hand and didn't pull out her weapon.

"Good girl. So where was I? Oh right. How can you help me?" Xu Shan asked the little girl innocently. 

Strangely enough, the girl didn't reveal fear. Instead, her face was usually calm, as if she wasn't worried about death. 

"I heard that you want to go to the Central Region. As Uncle Xi said, you need identification for that. But it's hard to get identification in your case. But with my help, it should become easier. My family can help you with that," the girl explained. 

"And what do you want in exchange?" Xu Shan asked. 

The little girl shook her head lightly. "You saved my life. Consider that my gratitude. So, are you willing to come with us?"

Xu Shan maintained his calm expressions. However, he was slightly impressed. Even though the girl said she didn't want anything, he could read her like a blank sheet of paper. She was very cunning.... probably even more cunning than everyone thought her to be. 

She was calm and kind on the surface, but deep inside, she was something else entirely. Even though she said she didn't want anything in exchange, she was basically using him as a guard in exchange for the identification. 

If he wanted the Identification Token that could help him at the teleportation points, he had to travel with her, while also ensuring her safety.

"Not bad," he commented, as if talking to himself. However, in the end, he agreed. This was the fastest way indeed. He couldn't just fight all the way to Central City. 

He didn't even know how many Teleportation Points he had to cross. With an identification token, it became much easier. Moreover, he had a feeling that Identification Token wasn't just needed for Teleportation. Sooner or later, there could be other uses for it. 

"I will accompany you," he stated as he stepped closer to her. However, as he was next to her, he brought his lips close to her ears. "However, I would prefer it if you're more honest with your thoughts next time. As I told the others, I don't like to be played with."

He walked past the girl and entered the carriage, which remained unharmed throughout the entire ordeal. 

The little girl didn't react, even as she noticed her maid curious as to what Xu Shan was talking about. 

She maintained her innocent smile, as she held the maid's hand. She walked back to the carriage. 

 Xu Shan entered the carriage. The carriage appeared big from outside. However, it was even bigger from the inside, utilizing a different space inside. 

It was as if there was a big room inside the carriage, which was around five meters wide, and nine meters long. The room had a bed, a few chairs, a table, and many more items that one could need for a relaxing journey. It was like a big luxurious room on wheels. 

Xu Shan sat on the couch. The girl and the maid sat on the bed, curiously looking at Xu Shan's back. 

Xu Shan sat still, with his eyes closed, as if he was lost in some deep thought. However, none knew that he was talking to someone in his mind. 

In a new world, the only ally that he could truly talk to was Xinren. Other than her, he couldn't tell anyone his true thoughts, since he didn't trust anyone. However, he did miss people from back home, especially Ye Han. 

Amongst the people that accompanied him, he only felt that Ye Han was trustworthy to some extent. Even though he wasn't completely honest with Ye Han, he could at least tell him some of his plans and ask for help. 

The carriage traveled through the complicated yet barren roads. Fortunately, for the rest of the way, there were no attacks. It was as if the Shadow Temple didn't arrange anything in case of failure, since they didn't expect to fail. 

After a long journey, the Carriage finally reached the destination, accompanied by the Leader of the Guards who was the only guard still alive.
