Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist



During the same period, the Church of Divine Light carried out a series of well-coordinated raids on three Crimson Cult hideouts.

The Church forces displayed impressive combat skills and managed to defeat four King Realm experts of the Crimson Cult.

Out of those four, two were captured alive.

Additionally, the Church successfully apprehended nearly thirty more members of the Crimson Cult, who had lower cultivation levels. Hong Meilin had played a critical role in capturing them as easily swept the floor with them.

However, just when the Church officials were about to interrogate the prisoners, they noticed something was off.

All of the captives were writhing in pain, their bodies covered in sweat, and their eyes bulging out.

The cause of their agony soon became apparent: each of them had ingested a mysterious poison that had started to take effect.

Despite the best efforts of the Church's healers, none of the captives survived.

It was as if the Crimson Cult had taken measures to ensure that their members would rather die than reveal any sensitive information to the Church.

The Church officials were taken aback by this development, and the news quickly spread throughout the city, causing widespread fear and outrage among the populace.

The mysterious poison had become a topic of discussion everywhere, and people were speculating about its origin and effects.

Ironically, the very fear of this deadly poison spurred the development of its antidote.

However, time was not on their side, as the poison had a narrow window for treatment. The antidote would only be effective if it was consumed within a certain period after being poisoned.

Thus, the antidote had to be carried by all members of the church at all times as they were at risk of getting attacked by the Crimson Cult members who possessed this mysterious poison.

The Crimson Cult had refrained from using the mysterious poison in their battles against the Church of Divine Light, as they were aware that it could lead to the development of an antidote.

However, the rapid development of the antidote still caught them off guard.

The success of developing the antidote could be attributed to the expertise of a talented alchemist, Wu Zong, who was a member of the church.

Wu Zong was a middle-aged man with remarkable skill in alchemy.

He quickly identified the ingredients of the poison and ran several tests on rare beasts to ensure its effectiveness.

Once the tests on the animals were successful, the next step was to test on willing humans.

Although no humans died during the testing, unfortunately, the same could not be said for the beasts.

The poison and various antidotes had been administered to many beasts of different species in the process.

The discussions regarding the poison and antidote that had been the talk of the town for some time were soon overshadowed by a new topic that caught everyone's attention.

The deacons of the Church of Divine Light were gathered together to discuss recent events, and one of them voiced their thoughts, "We have discovered seven secret vaults and managed to secure them. I can't help but wonder what kind of treasures are hidden inside."

Another deacon chimed in, "I've heard rumors that the vaults contain fiendish pills that the Crimson Cult members use to gain immense power. And there were also offerings found, which they sacrificed to their Supreme Evil God."

A third deacon added, "I caught a glimpse of some weapons in one of the vaults. They must be evil weapons of some sort."

At this point, the leader of the deacons spoke up, "Yes, all of these items are in our possession now. My mentor is currently gathering them up and planning to set up a purification ritual. We will cleanse the evil qi within these items so that the church can use them as valuable resources."

The other deacons nodded in agreement, and the conversation continued as they discussed the best methods to purify the items and the potential benefits the church could gain from them.

Unbeknownst to the Church of Divine Light, two out of the three hideouts they had raided were primary resource bases for the Crimson Cult.

These hideouts contained a vast array of resources, weapons, and supplies that the Crimson Cult relied on for their operations and growth.

The loss of these valuable resources and weapons was a significant setback for the Crimson Cult, and they were forced to scramble to find new sources to replenish their depleted reserves.

As news of the successful raids spread throughout the land, the Church of Divine Light was hailed as heroes, and their reputation grew even stronger.

…

Since the banquet, three days had passed by without any major incidents.

The Crimson Guards continued to monitor Wang Jian's faction, but their efforts proved futile, as Wang Jian had given his organizations a well-deserved break.

During this time, he decided to give his women an opportunity to cultivate their abilities by granting them each a drop of Stellar Azure Dew for their closed-door cultivation.

The selected women were Su Xian, Fen Shuying, Chen Yiyan, Kang Huian, Han Xifeng, Xiao Ling, and Lady Zhuoran.

With the exception of Lady Zhuoran, all the other women experienced a significant rise in their cultivation due to the essence within the Stellar Azure Dew.

The essence within these dew drops possessed enough energy to boost their cultivation directly to the peak of the Lord Realm. It was just a matter of absorbing this essence properly.

Considering the great potential of these women, it would take them a month to absorb these drops properly.

Even Lady Zhuoran's cultivation rose by two stages, an achievement in itself, but it couldn't help her evolve her bloodline as her daughter could.

While Wang Jian was contemplating his next move, he heard a knock on his chamber door.

Utilizing his Spiritual Sensitivity, he identified the person behind the door to be Lady Xia, which surprised him.

"Come in," Wang Jian said, curious as to why Lady Xia had sought him out.

The door creaked open, and Lady Xia's eyes quickly scanned the dimly lit room before settling on Wang Jian, who was seated behind a desk.

She hesitated for a moment before stepping inside, her cheeks flushed with color. She removed her jacket and draped it over a chair before turning to face him.

Her clothing clung tightly to her curves, accentuating her figure in all the right places.

This was a departure from her usual conservative attire, and Wang Jian couldn't help but appreciate the sight before him. However, he was curious as to why she had sought him out.

"Thank you for inviting me in, Your Highness," she spoke softly, bowing her head slightly.

Wang Jian's eyes lingered on her cleavage, which was now on full display, and he couldn't resist the urge to tease her.

"What a sly woman you are," he whispered, his voice laced with amusement.

As Wang Jian playfully smacked Lady Xia's buttocks, her moan reverberated throughout the room, punctuating the air with a breathy exclamation of pleasure.

Her eyes fluttered shut, and she let out a gasp, overcome with the sensation.

"Ahh...damn...Ah...So good...I missed this feeling," she whispered, her breaths coming out in short, ragged gasps.

Wang Jian was a little taken aback by her reaction before a devious smile crept onto his face.

He chuckled and motioned for her to sit down, his demeanor quickly turning serious.

"What brings you here, Lady Xia?" he inquired, studying her intently.

Lady Xia stared at him with a shocked expression, her body still tingling from the touch of his hand.

She struggled to compose herself before finally speaking, "I-I just wanted to know how you were doing. A-Also, I wanted to k-know if everything is going well between you and Shuying."

Fen Shuying was Lady Xia's daughter and also Wang Jian's wife. So it made sense that Lady Xia had come to talk to Wang Jian about it.

As she spoke, however, her gestures were hard to ignore. Lady Xia was purposely crossing her arms beneath her massive globes, pushing them up and out for Wang Jian's perusal.

Her lips were bitten in a seductive manner, and her eyes sparkled with an irresistible desire that was impossible to ignore.

As Lady Xia continued to speak, Wang Jian listened intently, all the while studying her every movement and gesture. He could tell that she was nervous, yet determined to keep up her seductive facade. He decided to play along, enjoying the game of psychological manipulation.

"Well, Lady Xia, I'm doing just fine, thank you for asking," he replied smoothly, his eyes never leaving hers. "As for Shuying and I, everything is going quite well indeed."

Lady Xia's eyes flickered slightly at the mention of her daughter's name, but she quickly regained her composure and leaned forward slightly, giving Wang Jian an even better view of her ample cleavage.

"I'm glad to hear that," she purred, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper. "And what about us, Wang Jian? How are we doing?"

Wang Jian couldn't help but chuckle at her blatant attempt at seduction. He leaned back in his chair, his expression amused.

"Well, Lady Xia, I must say that you're looking quite lovely today," he said smoothly, his eyes dancing with amusement. "But I must ask, what brings you here, really?"

Lady Xia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She knew that Wang Jian was onto her, but she couldn't bring herself to admit it.

"I already told you," she replied, her voice slightly shaky. "I just wanted to check on you and Shuying."

Wang Jian raised an eyebrow, his smile growing wider.

"Is that so?" he asked, his tone teasing. "Because it seems to me that you came here for a different reason entirely."

Lady Xia's eyes widened in shock, and she took a deep breath, trying to compose herself.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about," she stammered, but her movements had become more erratic. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she struggled to keep her composure.

Wang Jian, on the other hand, feigned a perplexed look as he responded, "Is that so? I guess I must have been mistaken then."

Since he had already answered her questions, he felt that it was time for her to leave. "Since you have no other reason to be here, I suggest you leave now. I need to go back to sleep," he said firmly.

Lady Xia was flabbergasted to hear those words. With a rattled look in her eyes, she stood up and walked up to the door, trying to hide her disappointment and frustration.

However, before she took even a single step outside, she spoke up with her back facing Wang Jian, "You are right, Your Highness. I did come here for another reason. I thought you would know, but it appears I was mistaken."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lady Xia felt a strong smack on her buttocks, causing her to involuntarily moan in ecstasy. She turned around to see Wang Jian standing right behind her, his eyes dark with desire as he licked his lips dangerously. "Now, was that so hard to admit?" he asked, his voice low and seductive.

Lady Xia felt herself getting wet as she saw that depraved smile on Wang Jian's lips.

Lady Xia had been consumed by desire for weeks, ever since the last time she and Wang Jian had shared a night of intense passion.

It had been more than a month ago, before he left for the Windhaven Kingdom. Since then, she had discovered that Wang Jian had found another mistress, Lady Zhuoran, and had seemingly replaced her with this woman.

At first, she was relieved, as their relationship had never been consensual; she had been a sex slave to him.

However, as time passed, Lady Xia couldn't help but dream about those unforgettable nights of pleasure.

Finally, she had reached her breaking point. It was too much for her to bear. She had to have him again.

So, she devised a plan to seduce him. Lady Xia didn't want to directly express her desires to Wang Jian.

Lady Xia's plan was a gamble, but she was willing to take the risk.

She wanted nothing more than to feel his strong, muscular body on top of hers, thrusting into her with raw, forceful energy.

She wanted him to dominate her, to take her without mercy.

Regrettably, Lady Xia's plan to seduce Wang Jian by wearing a revealing dress didn't succeed, and she had to confess her desires to him. But it wasn't a complete failure. As Wang Jian soon planned to have rough forceful sex with her.
