Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist
Chapter 169 Ye Chen’s Lies
With a sense of urgency, the Butterfly Spirit Queen began recounting the harrowing events that had unfolded. She spared no detail, describing how Wang Jian had callously set her cherished forest ablaze, only to later attempt to deceive her.
As the tale unfolded, a flicker of anger ignited within Ye Chen. His usually calm demeanor transformed into a steely resolve, fueled by a deep-rooted sense of justice.
He saw an opportunity to further reinforce the negative impression of Wang Jian in the eyes of the Butterfly Spirit Queen.
With an air of conviction, Ye Chen spoke, his voice resonating with a mix of anger and concern. "Stella, the truth about Wang Jian's malevolence runs even deeper than you can imagine. Allow me to share with you some harrowing accounts that will solidify your understanding of his true nature."
Ye Chen paused, allowing the weight of his words to sink in before continuing. "Did you know that Wang Jian once betrayed his most loyal comrades, forsaking them in pursuit of his own selfish ambitions? He traded their unwavering loyalty for a mere handful of mines, casting them aside like pawns on a chessboard."
His voice lowered, brimming with a sense of sorrow and indignation. "But his crimes do not end there. Wang Jian has a dark history of eliminating anyone who dares to oppose him. He doesn't just stop at his enemies but ruthlessly extinguishes the lives of innocent bystanders as well, sparing no one who stands in his way."
Ye Chen's eyes gleamed with intensity as he revealed another shocking revelation. "And that's not all, Stella. Wang Jian has been known to conduct horrific experiments on innocent beasts, exploiting their vulnerability for his own twisted gain. He has no regard for life, whether human or beast."
As Ye Chen spoke of Wang Jian's atrocities, a mixture of shock, anger, and betrayal washed over the Butterfly Spirit Queen and her closest comrades. Their eyes blazed with fury, realizing the true nature of the prince they once thought they could trust.
Stella, the resplendent Butterfly Spirit Queen, was the first to break the silence, her voice quivering with a mix of disbelief and fury. "I cannot fathom such malevolence, such disregard for life and loyalty. How could Wang Jian stoop so low?"
Her fellow comrades, a majestic gathering of beasts, exchanged solemn glances, their eyes reflecting the turmoil within their hearts. Anger surged through their veins, and a collective determination to seek justice burned brightly in their eyes.
One of the beasts, a majestic lion with a regal mane, stepped forward, his voice resonating with authority and resolve. "Stella, it is clear that we have been deceived by Wang Jian's false facade. We must not let his treachery go unpunished. This wicked prince must face the consequences of his actions."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe other beasts nodded in agreement, their growls reverberating through the clearing, a symphony of anger against Wang Jian.
Stella's ethereal wings fluttered with a newfound determination. "Ye Chen, I thank you for informing us of this truth. Wang Jian will not go unchallenged. We shall join forces, and together, we will deliver him justice! "
Ye Chen met Stella's gaze, his eyes shining with unwavering resolve. "Stella, I am honored to stand by your side in this pursuit of justice. Wang Jian's actions have not only harmed you but have also caused great suffering to others. We must ensure that he pays for his crimes."
A surge of determination coursed through the veins of the Butterfly Spirit Queen and her comrades, their hearts aflame with a shared purpose. Yet, Stella couldn't shake the reality that confronting Wang Jian's faction head-on would be a daunting and nearly impossible task. Even with the recent aid of Wang Chen's faction, they had failed to inflict any significant damage on Wang Jian's forces.
Stella's ethereal voice rang out, carrying a tinge of cautious realism. "My dear comrades, we must face the truth. Wang Jian's faction possesses immense power and engaging them directly would be a perilous endeavor. We have witnessed their strength firsthand."
Her words echoed through the silent clearing, drawing the attention of the beasts who had rallied behind her. Their eyes betrayed a mixture of determination and concern, their minds grappling with the weight of the situation.
One of the more seasoned beasts, a wise old owl with piercing eyes, hooted softly. "Stella speaks wisdom. Our previous encounter revealed the formidable might of Wang Jian's faction. We must strategize if we are to have any hope of challenging them."
Another beast, a swift and agile fox, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, a head-on collision would only result in further casualties and strengthen Wang Jian's hold on power. We need a different approach, one that exploits their weaknesses and outmaneuvers them."
Ye Chen, observing the exchange with a glimmer of optimism in his eyes, couldn't help but interject with a sense of strategic determination. His voice carried an air of confidence as he addressed the group, "While the task may seem daunting, we must remember that every battle can be won with the right strategy."
Stella, the Butterfly Spirit Queen, fluttered her wings in response, conveying a mix of determination and gratitude towards Ye Chen's encouraging words. "Your optimism brings hope to our hearts, Ye Chen. We shall exercise patience and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike."
Curiosity danced in the eyes of the gathered beasts as they turned their attention towards Ye Chen. Their gazes were filled with anticipation as they awaited his proposed solution.
Ye Chen spoke calmly, undeterred by the attention placed upon him. "I belong to the faction of the Second Princess, and I believe that if we can find her within this forest and inform her of Wang Jian's vile actions, she will undoubtedly lend her aid in seeking justice."
A spark of excitement ignited within Stella as she eagerly responded, "That's a wonderful plan, Ye Chen! Let us set forth on this path. If memory serves me right, the Second Princess entered the forest from the southern point. It is there that we shall direct our steps."
The agreement reverberated among the assembled beasts, their eyes gleaming with renewed purpose and determination.
The group, led by Stella and accompanied by Ye Chen, set off through the dense foliage of the forest.
Each step carried them closer to their destination, their hearts pulsating with a shared determination to bring Wang Jian's transgressions to light and seek the assistance of the Second Princess in their noble quest for justice.
…
As Wang Jian's faction pressed forward, their determined strides guiding them deeper into the heart of the forest, they encountered several groups of demons along their path.
However, none of these groups possessed the distinctive feature they sought—a demon with opalescent skin.
As a result, these encounters proved relatively straightforward, with Wang Jian's faction easily overpowering and defeating their adversaries.
Indifferent to the gravity of Wang Jian's actions, the members of his faction displayed a concerning lack of concern regarding his attempted deception of the Butterfly Spirit Queen.
In their eyes, such manipulative tactics were deemed acceptable, a necessary means to gain favor with the revered queen of the forest.
They saw Wang Jian's failed plan as an unfortunate turn of events caused by the unexpected arrival of the Third Prince, but it did not diminish their regard for Wang Jian.
Instead, they remained steadfast in their support, unwavering in their loyalty towards their prince as they pressed forward, their sights still set on the heart of the forest.
The atmosphere was charged with excitement as Bixi Shuyan spoke with conviction, "Master, my senses detect a profound and valuable treasure nearby. Its radiant energy emanates from the north-west, beckoning us to explore its mysteries."
Wang Jian's eyes widened in surprise, his mind entangled in a web of possibilities. Should he deviate from their original course and venture towards this alluring treasure? The decision weighed heavily on his shoulders, as he pondered the potential rewards it could bring.

With a determined expression, he turned to his loyal faction, his voice brimming with anticipation, "My esteemed comrades, we shall temporarily divert our objective to uncovering this magnificent treasure. I have received a clear reading of its location, and I implore you all to follow me on this thrilling journey of discovery."
The members of his faction exchanged excited glances, thrilled by the prospect of unearthing a powerful artifact that could potentially enhance their capabilities and bolster their quest.
With renewed vigor, they rallied behind Wang Jian, prepared to navigate the uncharted territory in pursuit of this extraordinary treasure.
After a considerable journey, the faction led by Wang Jian stumbled upon a colossal clash that engulfed the surrounding landscape.
The scene before them was nothing short of chaotic, as the forces of the Church of Divine Light clashed fiercely against the demonic hordes. Evidently, they had intruded upon a fiercely guarded territory, unleashing a torrent of explosive battles.
Among the fray, a captivating sight caught Wang Jian's attention.
A demon with mesmerizing opalescent skin stood valiantly, engaging in a fierce duel against two valiant bishops of the Church of Divine Light.
The clash of powerful energies resonated in the air, creating a tempestuous symphony of light and darkness.
Yet, Wang Jian's gaze shifted, his eyes widening in alarm. Amidst the tumultuous chaos, he spotted the indomitable Hong Meilin, her figure encircled by a swarm of merciless demons.
Blood stained her once pristine garments, evidence of the injuries she had sustained. Her resolute spirit and unwavering determination shone through, despite the grim predicament she found herself in.
Addressing his faction members, Wang Jian's voice cut through the clamor with an air of urgency. "Everyone, except for the Xie Family, let us charge forth and lend our assistance to the church members in this battle against the demons. The members of the Xie Family will form a perimeter, ensuring no demon escapes."
Turning his attention to the Liu Family, Wang Jian continued in a casual yet commanding tone. "Liu Family, could you kindly provide the Xie Family with a supply of potent assault talismans?"
With a nod of affirmation, the Liu Family readily agreed, their willingness to contribute evident.
Once the Xie Family had received the cache of talismans, Wang Jian emphasized their significance with a note of caution. "These talismans are to be used solely in dire circumstances. We still require them for the impending battle against the demons in the heart of the forest."
Acknowledging their leader's instructions, the members of his faction echoed in unison, their voices infused with unwavering obedience. "Yes, sir!"
