The Villain's Redemption

"Alright. We will help you."Fang Yu's voice made Mo Li frown. His gaze turned towards Fang Yu, who walked inside the tea room. He wasn't surprised to see her not gave the old man and the young lady a gaze. She only stared at Mo Li's face, without any intention to look at the ghosts. "We will help your village," she added.

Both the old man and the woman stared at Fang Yu, surprised at her arrival. They never thought that there would be two immortals in this cave.

"Good immortal! Thank you!" The old man kowtowed towards Fang Yu, tears streamed down his face as he started sobbing.

"Grandfather…" the woman also knelled and started kowtowing. Biting her lips, the woman stared at Fang Yu, who was now standing next to Mo Li. The woman's small frame made her wonder if she was really powerful.

"Stop kneeling." Lyca waved her hand and sat next to Mo Li. "Tell us the details of this beastmen." Before she could say more words, Mo Li's voice already echoed in her head.

'Why did you agree?' he asked. 'You can ascend anytime you want. You don't need the lotus.'

Of course, she doesn't need the lotus. But Ji Tian needed it. 'I want it.' She responded. 'And I am interested to know why the beastmen suddenly turned like this.' She heard Mo Li snorted.

'That's because… these two were lying.' Mo Li's words made her frowned.

'Lie?'

'Those were not cursed souls but people who sold their souls to demons. Once they die, they turned into beasts and was supposed to go to hell. But for some reason, someone found a way to get them and make them work as their laborers and slaves.' Mo Li wanted to know if the old man would tell him the truth, so he asked him about the beastmen.

'So, they were lying?' Fang Yu's gaze turned dark.

'Yes. They wanted our help for something else.'

Fang Yu looked at the old man and the beautiful woman. "Tell us everything about this crisis."

"Well.." This time, the woman spoke. She glanced at Mo Li then darted her gaze towards Fang Yu. "The beastmen had been our enemy since they rebelled against the king. Every village has its own group of beastmen to help them out with hard labor. A few months ago, the beastmen stopped helping people and started attacking the villages that they were working for. And they only ate women."

"Is that so?" Fang Yu's gaze turned chilly as she wondered why these two lied to them.

"Yes— Yes… Good Immortal."

"What did your king say about this matter? Did he perhaps sent some soldiers?" Fang Yu continued asking until she heard all the lies from the woman. Then she asked Old Man Klum and his granddaughter, Lara, to give them a map to their village. They would be there in a few days.

When the old man and the woman knew that they won't come along with them now, their gazes obviously turned solemn.

"We can't stay in the village." Fang Yu said. "We are here for a different purpose."

"But— "

"Fret not. We are not going to ask you about the location of the flowers until we kill all the beastsmen." Fang Yu suddenly gave the old man a brilliant smile. "Of course, once you won't deliver your part of the deal." She opened her palms and revealed a small ball of black flames. "I will burn you and your village. All of you won't have any chance to reincarnate anymore."

Seeing the flames, both the old man and the woman paled as they swallowed their non-existent saliva. Black flames… are known for their devastating power in the other world. However, in this world, it is known as the flame that could kill them in mere seconds. The fact that Fang Yu has black flames made the two trembled.

If Fang Yu liked it, she could easily torture them for the information and just kill them now.

"Alright…" the old man balled his hands into tight fists. "This is the map to our small village west from here." He tried to maintain his composure and immediately breath out a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Yu extinguished the flames.

Accepting the map, Fang Yu said. "You can leave now. Expect us to visit you a few days from now."

"Thank you, good immortal!" The old man immediately left the cave with his granddaughter in tow and rode a horselike animal that was about ten feet tall. When the two were already a few kilometers away from the cave, the old man immediately asked his granddaughter. "You told me… only one immortal was there? Didn't you see the woman?"

Biting her lips, the woman lowered her gaze and shook her head. Honestly, she only saw Mo Li in her dream and not the woman. Lara felt a little aggrieved, wondering why her grandfather would be mad at her.

"Why?" the old man asked, frowning.

"I— I don't know. Perhaps… she is more powerful than him."

"That is absurd! This never happened before!"

"Well— Well— that woman is pretty mysterious so… maybe that is the reason why I didn't see her."

Hearing this, the old man snorted and looked towards their village. "Still… you should act well. Once you get that man's heart, he will protect our village no matter what, and we didn't need to give him the lotus. That man needed to stay in this world no matter what."

"Yes, grandfather." She nodded, her head only had memories of Mo Li. That man is powerful, he could definitely protect their village. The only thing that she needed to do is seduce him enough to sleep with her. And once a human sleeps with someone from this dimension, they wouldn't be able to leave anymore. They would stay in this dimension until they die.

The two were so busy scheming that they didn't notice the small space distortion that followed them. Fang Yu was calmly sitting in her space. Next to her sat Mo Li, whose face had turned so dark as he continued to listen to their conversation.

"She wanted to keep you here." She giggled and pulled him towards her. In the next instant, the two were already back in their room.

"You're jealous?" He lifted an eyebrow and smiled.
