The two floated up on their swords for a long time, along the way they passed a blur of trees, shrubbery, even a few rivers.
The sky was still clear and sunny as they felt the slight wind against them.
Finally after a long while they reached their destination, in the foggy distance they began to see the peak of a tall hidden summit.
It was isolated, away from all human contact, the closest population of people resided in a small city called fay that was still many miles away.
Due to its far off location and being covered in heavy fog and trees it was very hard to pinpoint. Huizhen suspicious eyes began to fade as he felt certain that the woman before him had not lied, it seemed like this was truly her hideout...
As they finally neared the top of the summit, two small wooden structures lay in site, along with a small training area, and the distant sound of trickling water leading to a far off waterfall. Yes, this was where S resided.
The Villain knew this, so she slowly floated down towards the ground.
Hopping off her sword she looked back up towards Huizhen who was still carrying the youth. "Stay here."
Before the man had a chance to decline, the Villain flashed away into the largest of the two small wooden huts. She desired to grab one thing in particular.
After pulling out the silky material she was satisfied.
What she had desired to grab was simply a spare robe, after all the teens clothes were filthy and tattered.
Carrying it in her hand she quickly walked back outside before flashing to the opposite empty shed a few hundred meters away from the one she had just come out of.
This hut was much smaller, it was covered in the shadows of the surrounding trees, it was small but slightly bigger than the wooden shack at the Qiangda sect.
"Now you may bring the body down this way." S coldly spoke up towards the man who had been silently observing her every move.
Huizhen could sense no bloodlust or evil intentions from the woman, so as he listened to S's command, he slowly lowered to the ground with the unconscious youth still in his arms.
Walking towards the small wooden lodging Huizhen walked in, it was rather old and dusty with nothing much besides a small bed and pile of wood for fire.
Seeing this Huizhen grew reluctant as his gaze once again grew suspicious. "What are your true intentions for this youth?"
S did not seem dismayed, as she plainly spoke. "I assure you that I have no intention to kill him... for the time being."
Hearing this Huizhen began to frown before S continued.
"How about this, there is a waterfall on this mountain that contains many special grade herbs, first I suggest you gather some medicinal one's for any internal injuries the young man may posses. Then in a bit I will meet you there and we can further discuss the deal I proposed." (AN: She already knows the life elixir has healed Jun, she is simply telling Huizhen to go collect herbs to distract him)
Huizhen examined his former Sensei, although he was unsure about leaving her alone with the youth, he was still unable to sense any bloodlust in the air. It was strange, he was truly at a loss for the current situation.
"For now simply set him down here." S pointed towards the old bed.
Huizhen was still reluctant but he set the boy down.
"If... if you do anything cruel, I assure you I will kill you." His voice was deep and chilling, he truly meant every word.
S's eyes slightly softened as she also looked down at the unconscious youth unconcerned. "That's fine."
Huizhen was caught speechless, he never imagined hearing such words coming out of her mouth, it seemed the woman had somehow drastically changed ever since she met the boy. Once again he still couldn't understand it so he stiffly spoke. "I will get the herbs for now, but I really will kill you if you do anything to him."
With that last remark Huizhen swiftly darted off.
Once again everything was quiet as the Villain looked down towards the teen, he was terribly weak, his breathing shallow.
Although she had already given him the "life elixir." The technique she had used before to put him in this sleeping state had greatly affected his health.
After all she had forcefully widened his meridians that contained zero Qi.
Forcefully widening meridians was a painful process for the bearer regardless of who did it or how the technique was applied. It was the process of destroying and rebuilding, one that would take countless hours as simply doing it once would only amount to a miniscule amount of progress.
Knowing this the Villain had already decided she would use it as a form of punishment in order to invoke hate from the teen.
If she had approached it in another way, it would have been just as painful but perhaps the adolescent would be smiling at her, happy to accept the pain if it meant being given something he thought he was never able to possess.
However this wasn't the Villain's intentions. She realized her grave mistake in each world, her mistake was openly helping Jun.
He always experienced deep pain in each world so of course he would instantly latch onto the first person who helped him, nothing more. As long as she no longer acted kind he would despise and betray her.
Simple.
Their connection was nothing special, the Villain was well aware of this. She had simply picked him up on a whim due to his eyes and he had simply cared for her due to her actions.
"It's nothing more than that, I'll simply help you one last time. It's not like I've truly grown to care for you in these past three worlds..." As the Villain thought she shifted her gaze away down, avoiding the sleeping face.
Yes, she had realized her mistake, so she would fix it.
She would act the part of the villain.
As the teen lay unconscious on the bed she checked over his body. His meridians had been slightly widened due to the former technique she had used on him, now he would be able to accept a bit of her Qi.
The Villain's eyes unconsciously softened.
Carefully she pulled away his dirty robes to simply reveal his upper body. Then with extreme gentleness she placed her hands on the young man's abdomen.
In order to transfer Qi in the most efficient and safe way, she would transfer Qi into his core.
With skin to skin contact she slowly let out a handful of her inner Qi, it poured out through the tips of her fingers and transferred into the fragile dirty body. Her Qi flowed in tiny bursts of warm energy, flowing into the young mans core creating circulation and inner healing
Yes, the young man had no Qi and she had excess, so she would give him some.
She would teach him how to use it and make him believe it was his.
And slowly she would teach him to hate her.
That way when the day came, he would be an immortal in this world while she was killed off by the ML and FL.
Jun would be able to live happily forever within this world while easily forgetting about her.
This was her grand scheme.
In order to accomplish it she decided not to split apart the FL and ML, instead she would let them fall in love and track her down. Hopefully this would also make the world go back to normal, targeting her instead of Jun.
At that time she would solidify Jun's role as pawn, making him an innocent bystander while pushing all the hate upon herself before getting killed.
Yes, as long as everything went according to plan she could then swallow her death orb.
...........
After transferring a large amount of Qi, the Villain finally removed her hands.
Now the young man's complexion looked much more relaxed, because his meridians were stretched without any Qi flow, his body had grown terribly weakened. With Qi finally flowing in his veins properly, he would slowly begin to heal up and grow stronger.
The Villain was just about to get up and leave before she felt a wave of sleepiness overcome her, suddenly her eyelids drooped and her body weakly fell.
"I can't fall asleep right... now..." It was then that she fully closed her eyes, her body sitting on the floor and her head rested on the bed.

Desert: "Although you are pretty strong, everyone has some form of weakness. So what are your weaknesses?"
The Villain *coldly: "That I have none."
Desert: "...."
