Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Meanwhile, Kang Huian could care less about revenge. She did want revenge, but her top priority was her father’s treatment.

“There is no antidote that can treat this poison?” She asked her clanmates.

“…We tried everything, including those rare herbs that the clan head had saved. But they didn’t work. We might need to find an alchemist from the town, but that will require many days. I am afraid that it will be too late by then,” An old man explained.

“No! It won’t be too late! I will get the antidote!” Kang Huian announced.

“…How?” The members near her asked. They wondered what method the heiress possessed to acquire the antidote to this poison.

“…Just believe me, and don’t worry about the method. Order all the teams exploring the jungle to return and defend this base. I don’t want this situation to occur again,” Kang Huian ordered before moving from her spot.

She hastened towards the grand estate of Wang Jian. Kang Huian knew that only he could treat this poison ailing her kin.

As she hurried back, Kang Huian’s heart weighed heavy with guilt and regret. The memory of Wang Jian’s twisted smile lingered in her mind, causing her to question her own morality.

‘Brother Lin,’ she thought with remorse, ‘I have failed you. Despite all that you’ve done for me, I am about to betray you once more. How can I face you after this? You risked your life to protect me from the Miracle Angel Tribe and ventured into the perilous Thundering Hemlock Woods to cure my poison. Yet, here I am, about to turn my back on you. I fear that there will be no redemption for me.’

In the meantime, Wang Jian sent a note with detailed instructions to Fen Gen.

“It’s time for you to betray the Miracle Angel Tribe. Inform Han Lei of a plan to ambush the Crimson Mammoth Warriors while, in turn, leading them into a trap with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors waiting for them.”

“Make sure Han Xifeng survives and escapes successfully while making it seem like a coincidence or a miracle. Once you accomplish this objective, the deal will be concluded.”

Fen Gen was startled upon receiving this message, but he soon understood the meaning. This indicated that after following these instructions, his daughter could monopolize Lin Feng.

While Wang Jian was expertly manipulating the situation to steal even more of Lin Feng’s women, a significant twist occurred in the Thundering Hemlock Woods.

Lin Feng came across another beauty. Her name was Jin Meixiang.

She had actually come to this forest along with her entourage, but they had the misfortune of encountering a Beast Lord.

Her entourage did their best to hold back the Beast Lord and prevent it from killing Jin Meixiang. During this time, she fled from the battlefield and came across Lin Feng.

Once Lin Feng understood the situation, he utilized his quick wit to conceal Jin Meixiang in a cave that completely sealed off Spiritual Energy.

This prevented the beast lord from sensing them, and he was forced to go somewhere else.

Only after the beast lord went away did they take a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng’s eyes twinkled with excitement as he gazed at the beauty he had saved. .

Jin Meixiang was a breathtaking beauty with long, jet-black hair that cascaded down her back in luscious waves. Her delicate features, which included almond-shaped eyes, high cheekbones, and full lips, were accentuated by her flawless, porcelain skin. Her figure was slender and graceful, with curves in all the right places, and she moved with a natural elegance that drew the eye.

When asked what she was doing here, Jin Meixiang didn’t keep anything from her saviour and informed him, “I was searching for the Lightning King’s Abode here.”

Lin Feng was instantly intrigued upon hearing that this ruin seemed to be of the Lightning Attribute. There was a chance this ruin would possess enough lightning attribute energy to unlock the second seal of this Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword.

Lin Feng contemplated for a moment before gathering the courage to ask, “Would you permit me to accompany you to the ancient ruins?”

He anticipated that this charming woman would not refuse his request, for she was alone and would require his aid to navigate through the treacherous Thundering Hemlock Woods to reach the site.

He understood that without his guidance, her chances of reaching the ruins were slim to none. However, Lin Feng couldn’t impose himself on her because he wanted to act as a gentleman. It would certainly be wonderful if he could earn the favor of this beauty.

Jin Meixiang thought for a minute before agreeing to his request. She was also aware that it would be very challenging for her to survive in these woods alone.

Moreover, the Lightning King’s Adobe was bound to be littered with traps, and she might require his assistance there.

Thus, she agreed to his request readily. They made their way towards the ancient ruin on the very same day.

The Lightning King’s Abode was a well-kept secret, hidden from the general public and even the experts of the previous generation. The entrance to the underground part of the ruin was hidden behind a waterfall, which only appeared during the rainy season. The waterfall would be at its strongest during this time, concealing the entrance from those who weren’t looking for it.

Moreover, the waterfall that concealed the entrance to the Thunder King’s Abode was constructed using an array, which made it virtually impossible for anyone to enter without knowing the correct method to break it.

The array was constructed using special energy nodes that were activated by the flow of water. The water from the waterfall was diverted through a complex network of underground channels and was used to activate these energy nodes, creating a barrier that concealed the entrance to the underground portion of the ruin.

To break this array, one would need to disrupt the flow of water through the channels that activate the energy nodes. This could be done by finding and activating certain switches that were hidden within the surrounding rocks.
