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

Feng Xue returned to her meditation, however, she was soon visited by Yan Li.

Yan Li came in front of her and knelt down: "Milady, I want to express my gratitude for saving my life! Thank You!"

"It wasn't me who helped you! It was him!" Feng Xue answered indifferently without opening her eyes.

"I know, however, I just couldn't hold this guilt inside me! When I think about it, Li Qi was more deserving to win and it was his destiny, but, he lost due to the young lord's interference! I can't help but feel guilty for his death!" Yan Li said with a quivering voice.

Feng Xue nodded in understanding as she opened her eyes and answered: "Don't worry about it! It wasn't your fault that Li Qi died! As the person who decided yours and his fate, Ashen should be responsible! It was he who decided to help you and all the fault will thus lie with him. You don't have to feel responsible!"

"but..." Yan Li tried to speak, but was stopped by Feng Xue who raised her hand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If It makes you feel any better, think of it as your destiny to have met me and Ashen when you did. That was the moment your fate changed!" Feng Xue explained.

Yan Li nodded in understanding as he took his leave. He understood that there was no benefit in feeling guilty, guilt wasn't going to bring anyone back from the dead.

Feng Xue returned to her meditation.

Soon after, Yan Pingtu came running into her room.

"Elder Sister, Elder Sister! Please tell me how to become strawng?" Yan Pingtu asked in his childish voice with his finger in his mouth.

Feng Xue sighed in helplessness as she asked: "Why do you want to know?"

"To protect Yan Xiu! She wants to become beautiful and once she becomes beautiful, she'll need to be protected from bad people and I want to protect her!" Yan Pingtu answered with determined eyes.

After knowing the reason, Feng Xue couldn't help but admire this child.

She answered: "To become strong, you'll need a high level spirit and a master who can guide you well!"

Yan Pingtu nodded as he looked at Feng Xue with puppy eyes: "Elder Sister, you are strawng! Big Brawder Ashen is also strawng! Can you take us to live with you? I want to live with Big brawder Ashen and you for my whole life! You can become my master! Please Elder Sister!"

He hugged Feng Xue with his small hands as he requested.

"You can ask your brother Ashen about this! He is the one who makes these decisions!" Feng Xue said in an awkward tone, though feeling joy in her heart.

Who dislikes being loved by cute children?

"Alright, Elder Sister, but you'll have to support me when I talk to Big Brawder Ashen!" Yan Pingtu said before rushing out of the room excitedly.

"Elder Sister, don't worry about us! You don't have to sacrifice yourself!" Yan Xiu's voice jolted Feng Xue awake.

"You bitch, did I allow you to talk?" Dao Tie raised his hand to slap Yan Xiu before Feng Xue's yell entered his ears: "Don't! I'll let you kill me but don't hurt her!"

"Oh, so you chose the second choice?" Dao Tie was honestly surprised. No matter how much she loved these children, they couldn't be worth dying over, right?

"Elder Sister, What are you doing? Don't die! How will we face Brother Ashen if you die like this?" Yan Xiu cried.

Dao Tie on the other hand gestured for Ji Jun to attack Feng Xue and kill her in one strike.

Feng Xue closed her eyes as she braced herself for death.

If I have to live by sacrificing these children, then death is much better!

Atleast, I'll be able to save them!

By sacrificing my life, I'll be able to save three lives! This is the right choice!

Wind Slashing Arms!

Ji Jun enveloped his arms in sharp wind that moved at a high speed like a razor-sharp blade.

Wind exploded below his feet, launching him towards Feng Xue from behind.

Ji Jun wanted to behead Feng Xue with this attack.

Swoosh!

Just as Ji Jun reached Feng Xue, Feng Xue moved to the side and avoided Ji Jun's attack.

"Hey, why are you dodging? You said you'll die?" Dao Tie complained.

"Wait, I didn't do that voluntarily! I'm under someone else's control and I can't die without his permission!" Feng Xue explained.

She had felt an immense amount of pain that compelled her to dodge that attack!

"What nonsense are you spouting? Looks like you never had the intention of sacrificing yourself! You must be buying time, right? Well, your bad luck! I am going to kill these children now!"

"No! I am telling the truth, don't harm them, I beg you!" Feng Xue pleaded.

How do I make them believe that I can't die voluntarily without his permission?

Will those children die due to my helplessness??

Dao Tie smiled and raised Yan Li by the neck: "Say goodbye to this child, woman! Due to your stubbornness, he is going to die today!"

Dao Tie increased the pressure and began to squeeze Yan Li's neck.

"Aaaargh!" Yan Li choked out, his voice barely audible.

"No!" Feng Xue's scream tore through the air, filled with despair and helplessness.

Suddenly—

Swish!

A sharp, air-piercing sound resounded in the area.

Splurt!

Thud!

Something passed from infront of Dao Tie as at the next moment, his hand that was holding Yan Li got sliced off!

"Aaaaarrrrrrrrgh!" Dao Tie screamed in pain as soon as he understood what had happened.

He reached for Yan Xiu to take her hostage, however, before he could do that,

Swish! Swish! Swish!...

Multiple flying swords came flying down from the sky, which made multiple holes in Dao Tie.

It was as if a magazine of bullets had been fired at Dao Tie.

In no time, only a puddle of flesh remained where Dao Tie was standing.

Ji Jun, who had been watching the scene unfold, stumbled backward, his face pale and his hands trembling. His voice broke the silence, rising in a panicked scream. "W-What just happened?! W-Who did that?!"

A calm yet chilling voice answered from behind him. "I did."

Ji Jun spun around to see who it was before he heard the voice again: "You got something to say?"

Swish!

Splurt!

Ji Jun's left hand got sliced off in the blink of an eye as he fell and rolled on the ground in agony while holding his left shoulder "Aargh!"

From the ground, he managed to peek at the man's face.

The man's appearance was otherworldly—his sharp features too perfect, too flawless to be real. Blood-red eyes glowed with a predatory intensity, and long, raven-black hair cascaded down his back like a dark waterfall. The aura around him was suffocating, radiating both elegance and terror.

"Speak! Who sent you!" The man commanded in a threatening voice.
