The Birth Of A Villainess

"Are you ready?" Lin Xiaofei heard the Duke say to her as his hand was on the door, about to open it.

She nodded her head and thought that his question was unfounded. Lin Xiaofei didn't feel anxious when the thought of being in front of everyone else. He already told her that the people in the Qu residence will welcome her once she stepped her foot on the Qu residence and thanks to that, she could more or less prepare her heart and nerve from getting nervous.

They both stepped down from the carriage. Qu Xing Xu was the first one to set his feet on the ground and instead of walking ahead, he waited for her to come out.

Like a servant waiting on his Madame, he held his hand out for her to hold which Lin Xiaofei gladly took. She couldn't help but notice one thing when she touched his hand and felt him supporting her weight.

Even though the Duke hid it so well, Lin Xiaofei doubted that his legs weren't numb after she sat on it for a short moment. Albeit shorter than him, she wasn't a child nor did she have a small stature compared to other young ladies. So, how can it possible that his legs didn't feel anything?

She eyed him for a second before turning to sweep her eyes at the people standing in front of them. Several servants wearing different colored uniforms according to their tasks and rank were standing at the far back of the crowd in front. On the left side were tall guards in their armors and on the right side, some of the faces of the elders who opened the carriage door earlier and a few more unfamiliar and strange faces stood there, looking at her.

The elders who saw that the sly and cold young Duke who burnt some of their properties stood rooted on the ground. Their eyes bulged largely as they kept looking back and forth from the Duke who had his hand outstretched to the young lady who stepped down the carriage.

"Mo Ting, slap me right now. That man over there, is it really our evil Duke?" The old man beside Elder Mo Ting asked, wiping his eyes to make sure he's seeing things clearly.

Mo Ting took a glance at the old man beside him and slowly nodded his head. This old man didn't get to see what took place inside the carriage thus, he didn't know that the display in front of everyone right now was not as shocking as the one they've seen inside the carriage.

Still, Mo Ting couldn't blame the old man from acting like he had seen a monster as he was also wondering what was wrong with Qu Xing Xu.

After accompanying the young Duke for more than a decade, the Elders and Mo Ting knew better than anyone else that he was by no means a good man.

No, he was definitely not the kind of a man who will act like a gentleman!

Besides, touching a woman's hand… The Elders wondered what sorcery did the young lady put in her hands that Qu Xing Xu didn't cut it off even after touching his hand.

For the past few years, they have been trying to hook the young Duke to some beautiful young ladies from across the Four Kingdoms but no matter what they did, it seems that his eyes were closed and his manly instincts were blocked by an unknown force.

They could still remember that time when a lady successfully made her way to the Duke's room but ended up being chopped off her head. The Duke didn't even spare a glance at the lady who turned out to be a spy from the other kingdoms and sent her head back to where her employer was.

Speaking of beauties, everyone couldn't seem to take their eyes off the young lady beside the Duke.

A peerless beauty…

That was what everyone could think of to describe Lin Xiaofei. They've seen countless beauties and no one could deny that one would be pulled to admire the beauty. However, compared to the peerless face in front of them right now, people could imagine cities being burnt down and empires being taken just to get the heart of this peerless beauty in front of them.

Aiya… No wonder the Duke seemed to not like the beauties they sent to him. It was because he was waiting for the young lady before them to appear in his life!

Elder Gao thought as he finally got to carefully observe the young lady he saw inside the carriage.

As his eyes continued to look at her, Lin Xiaofei also turned to see the pair of eyes that seemed to stay on her body for a while now.

She met Elder Gao's wise eyes. She could deduce that he must be asking himself where did Qu Xing Xu found her and how did he manage to snatch her.

"It seems that they don't need their eyes anymore." Qu Xing Xu suddenly said as he stood beside her. He was sending a deadly glare at the way of each of the Elders who found themselves drawn by her beauty.

Lin Xiaofei raised her eyes at him and frowned. Why was this guy thinking of gouging their eyes out? Did they do something bad? She found his words confusing.

"How so?" Lin Xiaofei asked him as she slowly walked to the front with his guidance.

Qu Xing Xu smiled and looked at her side profile, "Because they keep on looking at you."

Lin Xiaofei: ...

Taking her hand back to put to her side, she stopped walking when he also stopped just to be a meter away from the others.

"Then, doesn't that mean you should gouge out your eyes too?" Since he was also looking at her, doesn't that logic apply to him?

Chuckling, Qu Xing Xu shook his head with a smile on his lips and said, "I am your fiance. I have the right to look at you all I want."
