Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 336 Wang Jian returns to Everlasting Mystical Empire

During their stay at the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Wang Jian and his group reveled in the serene beauty that surrounded them. The lush gardens, fragrant lotus blooms, and tranquil atmosphere provided a welcome respite from the chaotic world outside.

Wang Jian, being the only man amidst a sea of graceful women, couldnʼt resist the temptation to indulge in some harmless teasing and flirtation.

He reveled in the attention and adoration he received from the sectʼs disciples, who were both pure and enchanting. His playful banter and flirtatious remarks left many blushing and giggling.

Lady Zhuoran, Han Xifeng, Luo Qiu, Yao Niu, and Victoria observed his antics with varying degrees of amusement and affection. They knew Wang Jianʼs penchant for enjoying the pleasures of life, especially in the company of beautiful women.

As the days passed, Wang Jian enjoyed the warm hospitality of the sect, and the Heavenly Lotus Sectʼs disciples doted on him. He was the embodiment of charm and charisma, and his presence added a touch of excitement to their peaceful lives.

However, the time came for them to depart. With Elder Fairy Zhi Luan accompanying them, they gathered their belongings and prepared to leave the Heavenly Lotus Sect. Their mission to secure an alliance between the sect and the Everlasting Mystical Empire awaited them.

With their captives, the four dwarves, in tow, they set out for the Everlasting Mystical Empire in the Southern Region.

As their journey continued through the Southern Region, Wang Jian found a moment to speak privately with Victoria. They sat in a secluded area, surrounded by the natural beauty of their surroundings. Wang Jian, ever candid, began the conversation.

”You know, Victoria,” he said with a hint of casualness, ”the reason you find yourself in this situation is entirely due to your actions.”

Victoria couldnʼt hide her dissatisfaction. ”What do you mean?” she retorted, her tone sharp.

Wang Jian continued, his gaze steady. ”Itʼs quite simple, really. If you hadnʼt succumbed to your own greed and chosen to attack me and my group, we wouldnʼt be here. You wouldnʼt be a part of my harem.”

Victoriaʼs initial anger began to wane as she considered his words. She knew he was right, even if admitting it was difficult. Her reckless ambition had led to her downfall.

Wang Jian pressed on, his voice taking on a more somber tone. ”You see, since I defeated you, I could have chosen to do anything I pleased with you. Instead, I made you my concubine, and I spared your empire from destruction. I allowed your disciple, Isabella, to rule it and maintain it.”

Victoriaʼs brows furrowed in frustration at his reminder. She was far from comfortable with her current situation, but she had to concede his point. ”Youʼve made your point clear, Wang Jian. Thereʼs no need to keep reminding me.”

Wang Jian leaned closer, his breath warm against her skin as he whispered, ”I want you to remember, Victoria. You are my trophy, a symbol of my victory. You are here because you underestimated me, and I wonʼt let you forget that.”

Victoriaʼs anger flared briefly, but she knew arguing would only lead to more conflict. She nodded, her voice strained, ”I understand.”

The tension between them remained, but there was a subtle shift in Victoriaʼs attitude. She couldnʼt deny that Wang Jian had spared her empire and allowed Isabella to rule in her absence. It was a level of mercy she hadnʼt expected.

As they traveled, she couldnʼt help but observe the dynamics within their group. Wang Jianʼs four other women, Han Xifeng, Lady Zhuoran, Luo Qiu, and Yao Niu seemed to accept her presence, but there was an unspoken rivalry beneath the surface. They had been with Wang Jian longer and held a closer bond with him.

One evening, as they sat around the campfire, the women engaged in casual conversation. Han Xifeng, always the outspoken one, couldnʼt resist making a sly comment. ”Victoria, youʼve become quite the addition to our group. Who would have thought?”

Victoria bristled at the implication in Han Xifengʼs words. She knew that her position within the harem was a sore point, but she wasnʼt going to let it go unchallenged. ”Iʼm not here by choice, Han Xifeng. Letʼs not pretend otherwise.”

Lady Zhuoran chimed in with a playful grin, ”Oh, but you must admit, Wang Jian has exquisite taste. Youʼre in good company.”

Luo Qiu, her demeanor calm and composed, spoke. ”You know, Victoria, I was once the Second Queen of Wang Jianʼs fatherʼs harem. Even that position didnʼt exempt me from his… affections.”

Victoria raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued despite her reservations. ”The Second Queen? But that should have given you some status, right?”

Luo Qiu chuckled wryly, ”In Wang Jianʼs world, status means little when heʼs in pursuit of pleasure.”

Yao Niu, who had remained mostly silent, decided to chime in. Her voice carried an air of authority, a reflection of her past. ”I was the Empress of Wang Jianʼs fatherʼs harem, and I learned the hard way that no title or rank can shield you from his desires.”

Victoriaʼs eyes widened at this revelation. She had assumed that her current predicament was unique, but it appeared that Wang Jianʼs appetites were well-known among his women. She couldnʼt help but feel a mix of anger and pity for these women who had endured similar treatment.

Han Xifeng, her eyes dancing with mischief, leaned in closer to Victoria. ”You see, weʼve all had our share of... encounters with Wang Jian. Iʼve been with him long enough to know his preferences.”

Lady Zhuoran, her playful grin widening, added, ”Oh, yes. Weʼve shared some truly intimate moments with him. There are stories I could tell, but Iʼll save you the details.”

The air around the campfire grew charged with their shared experiences and the unspoken promise of more to come. Victoria, caught between fascination and dread, listened to their tales. She realized that Wang Jianʼs desires were unquenchable, and no beautiful could escape his attention.

Han Xifeng placed a hand on Victoriaʼs shoulder, her tone turning more serious. ”You should understand, Victoria. Thereʼs no escaping his grasp. Resistance is futile.”

Lady Zhuoran nodded in agreement. ”Weʼve learned to accept our fates. Itʼs not all bad, you know. There are pleasures to be found in our situation.”

As much as Victoria wanted to deny their words, the truth was undeniable. She had seen glimpses of Wang Jianʼs depravity and now heard about the experiences of her fellow concubines. Their advice, though tinged with teasing, held a kernel of wisdom.

The night grew darker around them, the campfireʼs flames casting eerie shadows.

Victoria couldnʼt help but feel the weight of her situation pressing down on her.

Her once-proud empire, now under Isabellaʼs care, seemed a world away from this intimate circle of women who had all come to accept their place in Wang Jianʼs harem.

In the midst of laughter and camaraderie, Victoria felt a growing sense of inevitability. Her journey had taken a sharp turn, and there was no way back.

Well, before long, the group finally entered the Southern Region.

Once Wang Jianʼs group was back in the Southern Region, Wang Jian released his full force and utilized Spatial Abilities to teleport himself back to his Empire as quickly as possible.

As Wang Jianʼs group ventured further south, the landscape began to change. The air grew warmer and more humid, and the scent of lush vegetation filled their senses. Well, before long, they finally entered the Southern Region, the heart of Wang Jianʼs dominion.

With the familiarity of homecoming, Wang Jian released his full power and harnessed his spatial abilities, a testament to his formidable skills. In an instant, they were whisked away, transported through the intricate web of spatial dimensions that crisscrossed the vast empire.

The journey ended abruptly as they arrived in the heart of the Everlasting Mystical Empire. The palace stood proudly, its grandeur a testament to Wang Jianʼs rule. He stepped out of the spatial rift, followed by his five concubines and the captive dwarves. It was a homecoming filled with a strange blend of authority and indulgence.

Awaiting Wang Jianʼs return was his beautiful empress, Su Xian. Her raven-black hair cascaded in waves down her back, complementing her striking brown eyes. As she saw her emperor, a radiant smile graced her face, and she rushed to his side.

”Wang Jian!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with both longing and delight.

Wang Jianʼs eyes softened as he enveloped her in his embrace. ”Su Xian,” he murmured, his tone affectionate. They shared a deep kiss, a moment of genuine connection amidst the whirlwind of their world.

Once they parted, Wang Jian turned to his other queens, each a unique and captivating presence in their own right. Second Queen Fen Shuying, with her fiery red hair and cerulean eyes, exuded an air of confidence. Third Queen Chen Yiyan, with her jet-black hair and warm brown eyes, possessed a quiet elegance that drew others to her. Fourth Queen Hong Meilin, with her golden-blonde locks and striking blue eyes, radiated vivacity. Fifth Queen Stella, her hair a shimmering silver and eyes a deep sapphire blue, carried an air of mystery. Sixth Queen Jin Meixiang, with her ebony hair and captivating golden eyes, was the embodiment of allure.

They approached Wang Jian, offering their greetings and affectionate embraces. Each queen brought her own unique charm and grace to the empire, and they had become an integral part of Wang Jianʼs life.

As they entered the palace, the atmosphere shifted from one of casual reunion to that of regal authority. Wang Jianʼs queens had responsibilities within the empire, and they carried them out with poise and grace.

Empress Su Xian spoke first, her voice carrying a tone of both love and duty. ”My Emperor, while you were away, we faced challenges, but we remained steadfast in maintaining the empireʼs prosperity.”

Wang Jian nodded, appreciating the resilience of his queens. ”Youʼve done well in my absence, Su Xian.”

Fen Shuying, always confident and assertive, added, ”And we have been diligent in strengthening our alliances with neighboring regions.”

Wang Jianʼs gaze held a hint of pride. ”Your efforts are commendable, my queens.”

Chen Yiyan, with her quiet grace, spoke next. ”The people have been content, and our empire has prospered under your rule.”

Hong Meilin chimed in with her vibrant energy. ”Weʼve also made strides in cultural exchanges and artistic endeavors. The empireʼs cultural richness has grown.”

Stella, her aura of mystery still intact, added, ”And the beast races have properly integrated into the society. ”

Jin Meixiang, the embodiment of allure, leaned in closer to Wang Jian, her voice a sultry whisper. ”But, my Emperor, now that youʼve returned, we anticipate your guidance and your desires.”

Wang Jianʼs eyes glittered with desire as he looked at each of his queens. ”I have returned, my queens, and I shall fulfill my responsibilities as the Emperor.”
