Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Stella was taken aback, her heart pounding with surprise and joy. “Your Highness, this is…unexpected,” she stammered.

Wang Jian’s eyes bore into hers, his sincerity evident. “I know it might seem sudden, but I’ve thought this through. By marrying you, the Butterfly Spirit Queen, I hope to bridge the gap between humans and beasts. Our union would serve as a symbol of unity and understanding. Together, we can lead by example and show our people that love knows no boundaries.”

Stella’s heart swelled with emotion at his words, but she needed to ensure this was not just a political gesture. “Your Highness, is this proposal driven solely by your ambition, or do you truly wish to be with me?”

Wang Jian’s grip on her hand tightened, and he spoke from the depths of his heart, “Stella, my feelings for you are genuine. You are not just a means to an end; you have captured my heart since the day we met. Your strength, compassion, and unwavering support have left an indelible mark on my soul. I cannot imagine a future without you by my side.”

Stella felt her eyes well up with tears of happiness, touched by his sincerity and love. “Your Highness, I too have come to cherish our time together. Your dedication to making this world a better place inspires me. I accept your proposal, not just for our people, but because I have fallen in love with you.”

Wang Jian’s smile was radiant as he stood up, embracing Stella tenderly. “Thank you, Stella. Your acceptance fills my heart with joy. Together, we will embark on this journey, breaking barriers and shaping a brighter future for all.”

Under the gentle moonlight, both Wang Jian and Stella locked eyes, their smiles filled with a mix of anticipation and affection. With a confident step forward, Wang Jian drew closer to Stella and softly pressed his lips against hers.

Stella didn’t resist; she allowed the kiss to happen, her heart pounding with a mix of emotions. It was a moment she had secretly longed for, and now that it was happening, she wanted to savor every second of it.

Unbeknownst to Stella, Wang Jian used his Blissful Touch technique at that very moment, amplifying the pleasure she felt during the kiss. The Blissful Touch’s effect intensified during their intimate exchange, enveloping Stella in overwhelming joy and bliss.

The sensations she experienced were unlike anything she had felt before, making her heart race with delight.

Wang Jian, too, was captivated by the moment, feeling a deep connection with Stella as they kissed under the moon’s gentle glow. He held her tenderly, cherishing the bond they were creating.

With his expertise in manipulating energies, Wang Jian ensured that this kiss would become an unforgettable experience for Stella.

As the kiss continued, Stella’s heart soared with delight, and a deep yearning for more of this blissful sensation ignited within her. Little did she know that this subtle touch of magic would leave a lasting impression on her, drawing her even closer to Wang Jian, both emotionally and physically.

After what felt like an eternity, they finally parted, their breaths mingling in the night air. Wang Jian’s eyes sparkled with affection, and Stella’s cheeks flushed with a newfound sense of longing and desire.

“I… I’ve never experienced anything like this,” Stella whispered, her voice filled with awe.

Wang Jian smiled tenderly, caressing her cheek with his thumb. “It’s just the beginning, Stella. Our love is destined to create wonders and defy all odds. Together, we will forge a path of unity and understanding between our peoples.”

Stella nodded, feeling an unbreakable bond forming between them. “I believe in you, Wang Jian, and in the love we share. Let us embrace the challenges ahead and create a future where humans and beasts can coexist in harmony.”

“Thank you for your trust,” Wang Jian responded with a warm smile.

As they strolled through the castle grounds, Stella opened up about her plans. “I will soon return to the forest and inform my comrades of my decision. Though they might initially resist the idea of living with humans, I am certain they will understand once they learn that I will marry you and make my home in the Empire.”

“That sounds like a wise approach,” Wang Jian replied. “Make sure to let them know about my heritage as well, as it’s best not to keep any secrets. I hope they will see past it, just as you did, and understand my true intentions.”

Stella nodded confidently. “They will, Wang Jian. They have witnessed your bravery and dedication to protect us and our habitat from the devil forces. Your actions speak louder than words, and they will see your noble heart.”

A brief silence fell between them until Stella couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. “Wang Jian, can I please see your devil form up close? I only caught a glimpse when you transformed in that spatial cube.”

Wang Jian raised an eyebrow in surprise but chuckled warmly. “Of course, Stella. Here it is.”

In an instant, Wang Jian’s hair and eyes underwent a breathtaking transformation. His once-silver hair turned a mesmerizing shade of blue, while his eyes now shimmered like fiery rubies. The aura of power that emanated from him was nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Stella gazed at the magnificent sight before her, her eyes wide with wonder. “Woah! You look incredibly powerful!”

A sense of pride washed over Wang Jian as he explained, “In this form, my physical prowess and healing abilities are greatly enhanced. It grants me extraordinary strength and agility. However, I must be cautious because I am more vulnerable to attacks of the Holy Attribute in this state.”

Stella nodded in understanding, her fascination with his transformation still evident in her eyes. “It’s truly fascinating to witness, Wang Jian. With the power you possess, I am sure that you can seize the throne.”

Wang Jian smiled, appreciating her belief in him. “It won’t be as simple as that, but I will try my best,” he replied humbly.

As the moonlight bathed them in its soft glow, Wang Jian returned to his normal state. His once-blue hair transformed back to its silver hue, and his eyes regained their sapphire color.

Curious, Stella asked about the mysterious attacker who had fought against him. “Who was that guy who targeted you?”

Wang Jian shrugged in response, a hint of puzzlement in his expression. “I do not know why he was after me, but he mentioned something about it being a mission. Honestly, I’ve never met that guy before in my entire life.”

Stella nodded thoughtfully, “I see. Well, at least you managed to defeat him.”

“Yeah, I had initially intended to capture him, but his abilities were quite peculiar, and I didn’t want to take any unnecessary risks, so I made the difficult decision to end him,” Wang Jian explained.

Their conversation flowed naturally as they walked together, each sharing their thoughts and experiences.

After bidding farewell to Stella, who gracefully spread her wings and soared back to the Sacred Dominion to inform her comrades of her decision to marry Wang Jian, he decided to explore the new ability that the system had unlocked after his triumphant battle against Ye Feng, the Third Protagonist.

The newly acquired ability was known as the Soul Board. Through this fascinating power, Wang Jian could access the status windows of other individuals and manipulate their stats based on the points they held.

However, utilizing the Soul Board was not a simple task. Each individual’s points were earned through rigorous training, age, and moments of enlightenment.

Moreover, these points were randomly assigned over time, making it a complex endeavor to manage.

At the moment, Stella possessed seven points. Wang Jian had the option to use these points to enhance her cultivation base, with each point capable of elevating her to a higher realm.

Alternatively, the points could be used to deepen her insights into different elements and also their strength, agility, vitality, dexterity, and perception.

One point would grant her a low-level insight in a particular element, two points for a mid-level insight, five points to attain a high-level insight, and ten points to reach the peak-level insights. .

Stella already had high-level insights in the Wind Element, meaning she would require ten points to reach the peak-level insights in the Laws of Wind Element.

Additionally, Stella’s current cultivation was at the seventh stage of the King Realm. If Wang Jian desired, he could use two points to help her advance to the ninth stage of the King Realm.

However, he decided to bide his time and make use of these points strategically at the most opportune moment.

His plan was to deepen Stella’s affection for him, ensuring her unwavering loyalty and never allowing her to turn against him.

With the newfound power of the Soul Board, Wang Jian decided to elevate the abilities of the women in his harem and strengthen his loyal subordinates. As he activated the Soul Board ability, the aura of his harem members intensified.

One by one, the women’s cultivation soared to the peak of the King Realm. They now stood on the cusp of breaking through to the Emperor Realm, requiring only ten points to shatter the barrier that held them back.

Some of the women had three points remaining, while others had two or none at all. Wang Jian knew that obtaining these points was connected to gaining experience and possibly through combat and other achievements.

Turning his attention to his loyal subordinates, Wang Jian orchestrated an elaborate ceremony, with Hong Meilin and Han Xifeng acting as the priestesses to lead the event. The grand spectacle was named the “Ritual for the Chaotic God,” and Wang Jian proclaimed that anyone earnestly meditating within its boundaries would be rewarded immensely.

Unbeknownst to the participants, the ceremony was merely a ruse. In secret, Wang Jian utilized the Soul Board, accessing the attributes of each individual present, and commenced an unseen transformation.

Through the deceptive ritual, some of his men experienced a tremendous boost in their cultivation, their skills reaching new heights. Others could feel their agility, dexterity, strength, and perception undergoing profound changes, improving in ways they could not have imagined.

The Ritual for the Chaotic God became a turning point for Wang Jian’s harem and his trusted comrades. Their potential was unlocked, and with newfound strength, they were now ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in their pursuit of greatness under the guidance of their cunning and charismatic leader.
