Fairy, I really am a villain!

After glancing at the sky, Fang Xiwen didn't go to take a shower immediately, but walked around the house for a few times.

Fang Qingxiao was in the practice room; Xiaodie was washing clothes in the yard; Fang Tianyu was said to have entered the palace; and Li Muyu followed him home.

"Uncle Liang, has anything happened at home during the time I was away?"

He finally found Liang Jing again and confirmed it several times, but the latter also shook his head and said no.

~~

The open-air compartment adjacent to Fang Xiwen's room. The floor was hollowed out to make a bathing pool, which was covered with white jade and was emitting steaming white mist.

This is also something left behind by the Third Young Master.

He was usually frugal, and he thought this thing was time-consuming and laborious, so he seldom used it.

But since the old housekeeper has changed the water today, and I've been busy all day, it's just right to take a bath.

"It's really an enjoyment..." Leaning against the pool wall, Fang Xiwen let out a relaxed sigh in the water.

It felt like the fatigue had solidified into something and then completely dissolved in the water.

Recalling the whole process of the thin man's interrogation of him, from disdain to hatred until he finally shouted "Feng Liu Jian"... he gradually fell into a subtle realization.

In the Battle of Guihua Mountain, some people used the lives of loyal soldiers to fill the emperor's sword, calling it "humanity"; when the Dingjun demon tribe attacked, some people did not draw their swords against the emperor, but instead thought of slaughtering the people in revenge; in order to please a beauty, some people did not hesitate to kill an entire family to cover up their origins.

He was angry at what these people did, not because he was a "good person", but simply -

I can't stand it.

Perhaps this is the way of the world. The way of heaven is to take away the surplus and make up for the deficiency, and the way of man is to take away the deficiency and serve the surplus. It is always the case that a very small number of people own a very large number of things. This is the law of nature.

"But I just feel unhappy. The reason why I want to smash my fists on them, to see those high and mighty beings regret what they did, is also to let my breath go... Ha, is this the will of martial arts?"

Almost at the same time, Fang Xiwen felt a lot of things. The wind blew over the wall, creating ripples on the water. The eaves that had been aged for a long time were peeling off, and a lot of very fine dust was falling down.

Outside the Fang residence, dim lights were lit in every house. On the street, there were watchmen carrying gongs and drums, pedestrians hurrying with packages, and scholars packing up their calligraphy and painting stalls...

The interaction between heaven and man.

After practicing for so long, it was the first time that he felt the resonance between the inner world and the outer world was so strong that every movement was clearly perceptible.

"No wonder I always feel like I've adjusted well, but I'm always just a little short... Who's there?!"

As his senses became sharper, he was able to discover "things" that were previously difficult to perceive.

The moment he spoke, he was hugged from behind.

A pair of arms wrapped around his neck, and the delicate body pressed against him wordlessly, whispering softly, "It's me."

“Second sister, what are you doing—” “Shh! If you don’t want to be discovered, be quiet.”

~~

His mouth was covered.

The water waves were swaying, and even if he didn't look back, he could "feel" that Li Muyu was naked, and his skin was so smooth that even water droplets could hardly stay on it.

"Did you take the wrong way?" Fang Xiwen asked tentatively in a low voice.

"I did it on purpose. If you don't want people outside to hear, just listen to me."

"...Then let me go first."

"it is good."

The moment he broke free, he fled to the other corner of the bath, but Li Muyou kept approaching him. The water waves made a path in front of her, splashing.

"Second sister, why did you do this? Have I ignored you recently?"

"Because you said it yourself," Li Muyu stared at him straight, "Xiwen said that he would accept everything about me, whether it was good or bad. You said it yourself during the day."

"Did you misunderstand?"

"Isn't this part included in the 'bad' part?" She smiled faintly and hugged him again despite the objection, "Or do you want to regret it?"

"..."

"Xiwen, I understood it a long time ago. As for me, I don't actually hate being used as a knife, because it doesn't require me to consider too many complicated things.

The same is true of the Mie Tian Sect’s teachings, ‘Destroy the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires’…”

“But, that’s not right—” “I know. But if it’s you who’s holding the knife, I’ll feel relieved.”

Her voice softened, as if revealing the words that had been hidden under her cloak: "I was abandoned once before. No one came to find me, and no one cared about me. I was like a bug that could be found everywhere in the shadows... But it doesn't matter now."

Once, Li Muyou thought about killing all the people in the Fang family to let them know the pain they had gone through;

Once upon a time, Li Muyou hated the Sword Sect's senior sister who seemed to be glowing and popular everywhere;

Once upon a time, Li Muyou hated himself for living like a puppet and killing people like a sword——

"Xiwen, can you be my scabbard?"

Although it was a question, she no longer needed to answer it. After all, the person was in her arms.

"Okay, but you have to let me go first."

Fang Xiwen looked quite calm, but in fact he was already complaining bitterly. He was not a saint.

If he hadn't been thinking about the agreement with Jiang Xingchu, he would have been arrested long ago...

"What?" Li Muyou's voice became lighter as if he noticed something. He wrapped his arms around his waist and continued, "You've had thoughts about 'Second Sister' for a long time, right?"

"...I don't."

"After all, I look a lot like Fang Qingxiao, so sometimes you might mistake me for her, right?"

"How can it be!"

“It’s like, I’m beautiful, too.”

"hiss..."

It was not until now that Fang Xiwen realized so strongly——

It turns out that Li Muyu usually looks taciturn, but in fact, she is also a girl and understands things in that area.

"Now, let me hold your hand first..."

"—"

There was clearly no wind, but the water in the bathtub was surging violently, as if some giant deep-sea creature was wandering around, and it took a long time for the water to return to calm.

~~

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines into the Fang Mansion.

Glancing at the large carved mahogany table in the room, Fang Xiwen shook his head and went to the yard to set up a small table.

He was about to have breakfast with his two sisters.

"There seemed to be some movement in your yard yesterday."

Fang Qingxiao, who was wearing a training suit, came over, glanced at him, and casually stuck the wooden sword into the tree stump in the yard. "What did you do?"

"I took a shower and used the separate bathtub."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"If you need it, go tell Xiaodie." "I'm asking why you didn't call me when you were taking a shower?"

"?"

After the plates were set, Li Muyu, dressed in a black robe, came over, and the three of them sat down together and began to eat.

"Why aren't you wearing your hood anymore?" Fang Qingxiao was quite surprised to see her showing her head. "Have you decided to meet your father and the others?"

"talk later."

As if he was not used to the light, Li Muyu subconsciously blocked it with his hand.

Although her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of the bright and generous senior sister, due to her pale skin, she looks like a frail and bedridden beauty: the color of her eye circles is slightly dark, and she always shows a sense of fatigue; when she looks at people and talks, her eyelashes tremble slightly, as if she is very serious and trying hard; her hands are always placed obediently on her knees, without any unnecessary small movements.

"This is actually the Lightless Evil Sword that was at the top of the human list..." Fang Xiwen rarely saw her like this, and besides being surprised, he was also quite happy for her.

"Did something happen between you and Xiwen?"

"Secret." As he said that, Li Muyu raised his index finger to his lips and smiled at him faintly.

Fang Xiwen just lowered his head and ate.

On the other side, Fang Qingxiao didn't pursue the matter too much. She ate for a while and stretched her chopsticks towards his bowl: "Speaking of which, I've been feeling restless lately."

Fang Xiwen said: "You are too idle, aren't you? It's quite boring to just practice swordplay at home every day."

"Yeah. It should have been like this before, but I don't know why, recently, I've been thinking about dual cultivation with you, and sometimes I wonder why it's not evening yet." Fang Qingxiao snatched a piece of meat from his bowl and said.

"...Are you addicted?"

"Not really. It's just that I'm a little too idle. I really miss the days when I was wanted by the demons."

"Stop talking nonsense... Hey, come and grab my second piece!" Fang Xiwen was so angry that he laughed when he saw her saying something boring while snatching food from other people's bowls.

The two fought back and forth with chopsticks instead of swords, making crackling sounds. Fang Qingxiao soon succeeded again and even deliberately lifted up the thin piece of meat, "Wow, trophy."

"Isn't it disgusting? It's all covered with saliva." Li Muyu rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"I feel the same way. The food doesn't taste good anymore." Fang Xiwen looked at it and shook his head.

"Dare to dislike me? I'll let you drink as much as you want tonight."

After a while, Xiaodie came over to take away the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them took the opportunity to exchange their experiences in cultivation.

The main thing was that Fang Qingxiao seemed to be pondering his martial arts, so he naturally told her everything, including the route of practicing martial arts, without reservation.

Li Muyu on the side seemed to be thinking about something, but no one knew what he was planning.

"It's still so boring. Xiwen, go call Xiao Qingni over." As soon as the experience exchange came to an end, Fang Qingxiao gave another instruction.

Fang Xiwen said, "Let her come to the capital? It's okay during the New Year, but forget about it now. You two should be careful, I'm going against the Yang family."

"What about the witch?"

"He is the young master of Xinggong, and he has a lot of things to do every day. The demonic world has been in turmoil recently, and many people are ready to make a move. Xingchu has a lot to do."

"Wang Ningzhu?"

"...Don't you have any other friends?"
