Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist



Swiftly traversing the treacherous terrain, the Shadowfang Panther closed the distance between himself and the Butterfly Spirit Queen's group with remarkable haste.

The synchronicity of their movements ensured that their paths converged in an astoundingly short span of time.

As the group came to a halt, the Butterfly Spirit Queen turned her attention to the enigmatic feline, her voice a mixture of concern and anticipation.

"My friend, what are you doing here? Where are our comrades who were with you?"

Breathing heavily from his arduous journey, the Shadowfang Panther locked eyes with the Butterfly Spirit Queen, his voice laced with urgency as he began to speak, "My Queen, I bring dire news. That human Ye Chen has been colluding with the demons. The demons have cunningly manipulated the situation, placing us in the clutches of a deadly killing array. I barely escaped that array with my life to inform you of this news."

The Butterfly Spirit Queen's countenance, typically radiant and serene, now bore the faintest trace of anger as she assimilated the gravity of the Panther's revelation.

If there had been any lingering doubts when Wang Jian first relayed his suspicions regarding Ye Chen's involvement with the demons, they were swiftly dispelled. She trusted the Shadowfang Panther implicitly, for he was one of her close comrades.

Maintaining her regal composure, she addressed the Panther with a voice that blended grace and determination, "In the face of this troubling revelation, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for hastening to my side and sharing this crucial information."

Her words, delivered with unwavering sincerity, acknowledged the Panther's commitment and validated the trust she placed in him.

Though her delicate features betrayed a hint of righteous indignation, she tempered it with a measured tone, displaying her ability to channel emotions with poise.

The Panther's gleaming eyes met hers, gratitude shimmering within their depths. A flicker of relief danced across his face as he acknowledged her appreciation, understanding the gravity of their situation.

The Butterfly Spirit Queen's voice carried a resolute timbre as she continued, "We cannot allow this betrayal to disrupt our mission of protecting our comrades and home."

"How should we save our comrades?" One of her beast comrades asked.

As the question hung in the air, the tension palpable among the assembled beast comrades, Lady Zhuoran, known for her wisdom and insight, stepped forward, her voice carrying a measured tone that brimmed with hope, "Fear not, my dear comrades. There may yet be a path to rescue your fellow brethren. We need only await the arrival of the Seventh Prince's faction, for when they join forces with us, we can quickly head to fight against this contingent of demons. With their help, we shall gain the strength we need to turn the tide."

A flicker of hesitation danced within Stella's eyes, betraying her concern and selflessness. She spoke with genuine sincerity, her voice laced with gratitude, "But... His Highness Wang Jian has already done so much for me. I cannot burden him further by asking him to risk the lives of his comrades for my cause. I cannot allow innocent lives to be endangered on my account."

Lady Zhuoran, suppressing the self-loathing that threatened to consume her, adorned her countenance with a smile that would fool even her daughter.

With the grace of a seasoned diplomat, she reassured Stella, "My dear Stella, you underestimate the noble heart of Wang Jian. He is a man of unwavering honor, ever ready to extend his hand to those in need. He has never treated me as anything less than a valued friend, despite my identity as a beast. Just as he has been a steadfast companion to me, he considers you a dear friend as well. I have no doubt that he will be delighted to offer his aid in saving your comrades."

Stella, the Butterfly Spirit Queen, overwhelmed by gratitude, found her voice filled with warmth and appreciation, "Sister Zhuoran, I cannot express the depth of my gratitude for your words. You have reminded me of the true character and nobility of Wang Jian. I have allowed myself to be deceived by that traitor Ye Chen, and in doing so, I underestimated the virtuous heart of Wang Jian. I feel a deep sense of remorse for doubting him unjustly."

The realization of her misjudgment washed over Stella like a cool breeze, soothing her troubled soul.

The weight of guilt lifted, replaced by a renewed admiration for Wang Jian's integrity and unwavering friendship.

In that moment, she resolved to cast aside any remnants of doubt and place her faith wholeheartedly in the noble prince and his devoted comrades.

Together, Stella and Lady Zhuoran stood united, their spirits ignited by the prospect of a powerful alliance, as they awaited the imminent arrival of the Seventh Prince's faction.

Unbeknownst to the compassionate Butterfly Spirit Queen, every word that flowed from Lady Zhuoran's lips, extolling the virtues of Wang Jian, concealed a web of deception.

Little did Stella realize that beneath the façade of her benevolence, Lady Zhuoran harbored a sinister perception of Wang Jian, viewing him as a cunning figure, perhaps even more dangerous than the demons they faced.

Within the depths of Lady Zhuoran's calculating mind, she saw Wang Jian as a man who possessed a twisted nature, a wolf in princely attire.

In the critical juncture of the unfolding battle, Wang Jian's faction surged forward with resolute determination, closing the distance between them and Stella's group in swift strides.

Stella and her comrades anxiously awaited their arrival, positioned at a safe distance from the battlefield where their fellow beasts valiantly fought for their lives against the relentless onslaught of demons.

The perilous situation intensified, with the beasts' lives hanging by a thread, their strength waning with every passing moment. The imminent threat of annihilation loomed, casting a shadow over their desperate struggle.

Meanwhile, a second group of demons, battle-worn and relentless, approached the seal with malicious intent.

Having clashed fiercely with Wang Hao and Wang Ying's faction on the battlefield, they were now closing in on Stella's location.

Their presence added another layer of danger and complexity to an already dire situation.

Lastly, Wang Hao and Wang Ying's factions, weary from the relentless battles fought, were currently regaining their strength in preparation for the impending clash.

The stage was set, the players poised for a climactic confrontation.

And in a decisive turn of events, Wang Jian found himself veering away from the unfolding battlefield. It wasn't out of fear or trepidation that he diverted his course, but rather, an alluring intrigue that beckoned him onward.

His keen senses detected an unusual congregation of humans and demons, gathered not in the throes of combat, but rather engaged in a mysterious discourse.

A mischievous grin tugged at the corners of Wang Jian's lips as he comprehended the significance of this unexpected encounter. It became abundantly clear that these humans were in cahoots with the demons, and their meeting warranted his immediate attention.

Embracing the full potential of his Moonshadow Step, Wang Jian surged forward with unyielding determination, propelled by a blend of anticipation and resolve.

His swift movement carried him towards the rendezvous point, where he aimed to disrupt the clandestine meeting and unravel the secrets lurking in the shadows.

Having arrived at the designated spot, Wang Jian skillfully concealed himself, his senses heightened as he sought to discern the identities of the enigmatic humans before him.

Peering through the veil of secrecy, he observed a peculiar arrangement—an assembly formed in a semicircular configuration, with representatives from both the human and demon factions standing at the forefront, engaged in intense discussion.

From his vantage point, Wang Jian strained to catch every word exchanged among these clandestine participants. To his astonishment, he unraveled the truth behind their identities—they were none other than members of the infamous Crimson Cult.

As Wang Jian surreptitiously observed the clandestine meeting, his senses heightened with every word spoken. The atmosphere crackled with an air of dark conspiracy, as the sinister intentions of the Crimson Cult unfolded before his eyes.

The focal point of the discussion was an unholy alliance between the Crimson Cult and the demonic forces, a formidable union designed to unleash chaos upon the factions led by the Royal Princes. With their nefarious plan laid bare, the cult members eagerly detailed their role as collaborators in the impending battle, pledging their support to the demons.

In exchange for their allegiance, the demons promised the Crimson Cult a bountiful harvest of resources.

The sinister pact expanded beyond mere assistance in battle, as the demons offered their aid in establishing a clandestine branch of the Crimson Cult deep within the heart of the Jade Sea Empire.

Wang Jian could not help but feel a twisted sense of amusement at the audacity of this unholy alliance.

He recognized the potential for chaos and turmoil that such an alliance could unleash upon the realm, and his mind raced with strategies to exploit the situation to his advantage.

With the demons hastening their advance towards the seal, the Crimson Cult members were left alone. Seizing this opportune moment, Wang Jian emerged from the shadows, his presence surprising the cultists.

A sly grin curved his lips as he approached them, his eyes glinting with calculated mischief. The cultists, initially startled, quickly regained their composure, their expressions shifting from surprise to a mix of caution and curiosity.

"Well, well, well," Wang Jian drawled, his voice dripping with a subtle blend of amusement and intrigue. "It seems I've stumbled upon an interesting gathering. The Crimson Cult aligning itself with the demons... quite an audacious move, wouldn't you say?"

"Ah, so it's Your Highness Wang Jian," the cultist acknowledged, their voice laced with a mixture of deference and caution. "We have received orders from our superiors that our cult must not engage in battle against you or your faction."

Wang Jian's smirk deepened, his amusement evident as he replied, "A wise decision indeed. Rest assured, I have no intentions of crossing blades with you today. In fact, I find your recent alliance with the demons rather... intriguing."

The cultists exchanged curious glances, their fanaticism momentarily overshadowed by a burgeoning curiosity. Sensing their willingness to listen, Wang Jian leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone.

"You see, I have my own plans for this battlefield, plans that require careful maneuvering and strategic alliances," he explained cryptically. "And it appears that our interests might align more closely than you might think."

Intrigued, the Crimson Cult members leaned in, their expressions a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty. Eager to seize this opportunity, Wang Jian revealed his true objective.

"I require your assistance in dealing with my Third Brother, Wang Chen, and his faction," he declared, his voice taking on a steely resolve.
