The Villain's Redemption

He frowned, wondering how come just the thought of her was enough to calm him down. "I am leaving."

"Hmmm. Mo Li?" The Sect Master called out. "Please take care of her." He added and watched as Mo Li vanished inside his cave.

Mo Li went back to watch Fang Yu sleep on their bed, his face was extremely complicated. Clearly, he had never meet Fang Yu before. However, her scent, her kisses… seemed too familiar. Mo Li frowned as he held his hand in front of her face. He wanted to touch her face.

His hands paused halfway when Fang Yu opened her eyes, meeting his gaze. "Hey." She smiled, a small dimple appearing on her cheeks. "Why are you staring at me like that?" Fang Yu held his hand and pulled it towards her lips. She opened her mouth and slowly bit his pinky.

Mo Li responded with a smile. "Yeah… I can't sleep."

"Where have you been?"

"I tried to check the artifacts that I was making then I came back when I couldn't concentrate." He sat next to her, his hand stroking her long black hair.

"You are worried about something?"

He smiled in response. "Would you like to come with me?"

"Hm?"

"To my world."

Fang Yu blinked. Then she blinked again. Realizing that he wasn't joking, Fang Yu's eyes turned serious. "You're not planning to stay here?"

"We needed to win this war."

But how could the demons win a war against humanity? Against the male lead? Fang Yu turned silent. This time, the plot changed not because of her but because of the reincarnator. The person who reincarnated changed everything by informing the devil race about the reincarnation of the demon prince. Now a war is looming when the male lead is not yet prepared.

It seems that no matter where she goes, the plot would always change because of her involvement or someone else's. Or maybe the plot was always bound to change. She sighed at the thought. "I will think about it."

"You will?" his face brightened. He had expected her to refuse without even thinking about it. It seems that he was wrong about Fang Yu.

"Yes, I will think about it." Fang Yu smiled. Her purpose is to keep Dong Hu safe from the reincarnator and that is what she will do. Dong Hu is going to be the villain while Ji Tian is going to be the male lead. That is something destined. As long as both survive this war, then destiny would do the rest. "If… If I decide to come with you. Can you… can you at least find a safe place for the Eight Palms Sect? I — I just don't want them to get involved in this war between devils and demons.

"Of course." Mo Li uttered. "I already gave the sect master something that would keep them safe."

Surprised at his words, Fang Yu asked, "He knew?"

"Before I left." Mo Li said. "He noticed that I am already stronger than him. He analyzed everything and come up with a conclusion that I am not human."

Fang Yu only smiled but said nothing. That could be the reason why the sect master agreed to send her to the ruins. Because he knew that Mo Li would protect her. "What did he say?" Demons are known for their love of killing. They are bloodthirsty and love to show their dominance by enslaving other races. They are hated as much as the devils.

He chuckled in response. "Scared." He remembered how the Sect Master paled when he finally realized who Mo Li was. "But he also knew that I saved him and I can kill him anytime."

Fang Yu pressed her lips. "Did he think you married me because of my space abilities?"

"Yes. He thought I would leave after you open a portal from this world to my world."

"Well… are you?" she asked.

"I am taking with me." Mo Li answered without any hesitation. He felt that Fang Yu is someone that would just vanish anytime and he was afraid that his instincts were true. He couldn't let that happen.

Thus, he already decided to bring her anywhere he goes and keep her by his side all the time.

She stared at his handsome face. "Did you marry me for my space affinity?"

"No." He shook his head.

"So, you are telling me that it was only because of the scent?" she asked.

"Do you think I'm lying? Are you telling me that you didn't sense any familiarity with me?"

It was as if a huge lump appeared in her throat. Does he know? She immediately wondered if he knew about the robot. Was that even possible? "I did feel something like that." It was a slight pull every time he is near her. A tugging sensation. Her heart would start racing, her blood rushing.

"See?" He lifted an eyebrow and leaned to kiss her head. "I will go and create some magical artifacts. You should sleep and prepare yourself for the Ghost dimension. Opening a portal for two people would be very taxing to your body. So you have to save as much energy as you can."

Fang Yu nodded. Seeing this, Mo Li leaned closer and covered her mouth with his before he stood up and left the room.

'Hey, Robot." Fang Yu suddenly asked. 'Do you know who Mo Li is?'

[Negative]

'Liar'

[Bee doesn't lie.]

'Liar' This system is not like a robotic system. But it was like an extension of her, like an arm. She knew that this robot is a part of her. Perhaps maybe a fragment of her soul. Just like her, the robot must have felt familiarity.

'Robot, will I forget him in the next world?'

[Yes.]

'Even if we were married in this world?' she asked.

[Yes.]

'Oh.' A sighed escaped her lips. Isn't it sad? To forget something and start all over again in the next world? Now that Fang Yu thought about it, she felt that this was some sort of punishment for her. Did Lily do something really bad in the previous world? She wondered.
