The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"But how could the Skyfrost Tower expel such a genius in just one semester? Oh... let me see your heroic deeds, Miss Xitana--"

"Using extreme language to humiliate a young lecturer with limited ability in public, um... six times; using excessive brutality in a public duel, causing injuries to a classmate, twelve times; and making remarks that were disrespectful to the nobility and the laws of the empire in public many times—"

Anser raised the thick report in his hand and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the Skyfrost Tower is not ignorant of the value of the goods. On the contrary, it has done its utmost, Miss Xitana."

"What do you know!"

When Anser finished speaking, Xitana immediately lost her mind. Her angry voice, like the roar of an animal, echoed in the study: "The nobles in the big cities all treat me as a little beast from the wilderness. If that's the case, if you want to humiliate me...be prepared to have your hands and feet broken!"

Her body moved, and the sharp blade pressed against her snow-white skin almost cut into the thin flesh.

"Ah, calm down, calm down, Miss Shitana." The whip blade that looked extremely complicated and difficult to control was extremely docile in Anther's hands. Even though Shitana was a little excited, Anther did not let the blade leave any scars on her.

"I understand your anger," he said gently and comfortingly.

"..." Xitana breathed softly and glanced away, "You are a little different from them."

Anser was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help laughing and said, "I think you misunderstood something, Xitana."

"I can understand you. I don't mean that I can empathize with your situation, but I mean... I know the real reason for your anger."

The devil whispered softly:

"You are resenting your own stupidity and incompetence."

"..."

"Your family spent 90% of their savings to allow you to study at the Sky Frost Tower. This is enough to show your family's expectations and determination."

"But you--" Anser threw a piece of paper at Xitana's feet, and his tone became a little indifferent.

It was a notice, a notice of dismissal.

The cold handwriting on it announced that a darling girl in the Sky Frost Tower had fallen like a meteor.

"But you failed them."

"It's not my fault!"

Anser's words revealed the most unbearable pain in Xitana's heart. She ignored the sharp blades wrapped around her body and stomped on the expulsion notice on the ground, screaming and shouting: "It's there, they can't tolerate me! Those nobles can't stand a twelve-year-old girl from a country village being stronger than them!"

"Look, look, Miss Xitana." Anser slightly loosened the whip on Xitana and sighed, "You are always like this, never willing to admit your mistakes."

"I don't--!"

"Shhh."

The tip of the whip blade was against Xitana's throat. Anser raised his index finger to his lips and whispered, "Listen to me, Xitana."

"You hate every noble equally, thinking they are all stupid, mean, narrow-minded, and intolerant trash."

"First of all, I have to admit that the empire is indeed in its twilight years. Because of this, the nobles in your eyes are indeed the majority. But please ask yourself, Miss Xitana, when you showed your unparalleled outstanding talent in the Skyfrost Tower... was there really not a single noble who showed you kindness? Did all the nobles really show ugly jealousy at that moment?"

Anser looked at Xitana who was frozen in place, smiled and walked forward slowly: "It seems that you are very clear about the situation at that time. But why... why did all the nobles become hated by you and your enemies in such a short time?"

"The answer is simple - Little Xitana hates nobles from the bottom of her heart. Not only does she not accept any kindness from the nobles, but she also looks down on them from a high position."

"Because you firmly believe in the greatness of your talent, and you place your pride and dignity at a higher level than your talent."

"That's why you were so angry in the end... my dear Sitana."

The handsome noble approached the snow-haired girl and sighed softly. He stared at the girl's body that was gradually beginning to tremble, and said in a cheerful tone:

"Your family's shock, disappointment, anger, and final forgiveness made you realize your mistakes. As you grow older, you gradually wake up. You will fantasize in the middle of the night - if you had accepted the kindness of a noble at that time, would things have been different?"

"You regret and resent that twelve-year-old child, that ignorant, arrogant, stupid child, stupid...yourself."

"Shut up!!"

Hitana's dark red eyes were trembling wildly, and the pupils in the center of her eye sockets seemed to be shattered and reorganized, which was extremely strange. She roared out of control and tried to pounce on Anser, but was tightly restrained by the whip blade, and strangely, only a few shallow blood marks were left on her body.

"Are you so angry now? But this is just the beginning, Ms. Sitana."

Anser stood only an arm's length away from Xitana, smiling calmly:

"Let's get back to the topic we started with - what do you think makes you a big shot? Your power? The Crystal Ladder? An ordinary second stage?"

The blond boy sighed and shook his head: "Ms. Xitana... Do you know how many Crystal-level transcendents there are in the Northland, no, do you know how many Crystal-level transcendents there are in the Red Frost Territory? Do you know what level the captain of the guard of Earl Jianshi's manor is? Why do you think that those nobles rushed to do things so beautifully in just one night and one morning, just for a mere Crystal-level transcendent?"

"Ah... I know what you're thinking. You think they saw your unparalleled talent - just like those mentors in the Skyfrost Tower who tried to save you at all costs."

"But here, Sitana, I can tell you clearly."

Anser Hydra, a young noble with the blood of the ultimate monster Hydra flowing in his veins, accepted his judgment expressionlessly.

"You are worthless."

"No one cares about your talent, no one cares about your strength. Xitana, you need to know one thing. In the eyes of the nobles of the Red Frost Territory, your existence has only one value."

"—that is the joy of winning me."

"fart!"

Xitana screamed, "Then why don't they just please you? Why don't they send those things to your door! Ha! Ordinary people like my parents, are they valuable to a big shot like you?"

"So, Xitana." Anser took a step forward and touched her head tenderly and compassionately, "You have grown, but you are still blind."

"Why? Because you have my tolerance and my indulgence."

He moved his fingers, and the whip blade flexibly locked Xitana's hand that was trying to grab his forearm. He continued with a smile: "Look, it's like this."

"I have forgiven your offenses, your rudeness, your arrogance... countless times."

"I turned a blind eye to your vulgar words, and I laughed at your outrageous behavior. Do you know what this means in the eyes of the nobles, Miss Sitana?"

Anser's movements were so gentle, as if he was caressing a lover.

"It means that you are extremely important to me. You deserve such tolerance from the cruel, vicious, and terrifying Hydra in their eyes. Therefore, if you can be happy, it means that my mood will also improve."

"So, Xitana... everything you get has nothing to do with you."

"—Only because of the kindness I showed you."

"Hyder...La!"

The whip blade that bound Shitana actually made a sound of metal squeezing. Her white skin and the black whip blade set off each other, forming a charming and strange picture.

And the protagonist of this picture is undergoing an even more bizarre change.

She stared at Anther's dark red pupils... They were twisting and shrinking, gradually deviating from the shape of human pupils. The irises seemed to be stained with blood as he roared, and the eyes seemed to be deformed into... the pupils of wild beasts!

"Hydra!!!"

Anser frowned and leaned back slightly: "It seems that Miss Xitana, you are still not willing to accept the reality... Well, then I can only tell you something that you can't accept even more."

"Connected to the previous analysis... Actually, after being expelled from the Skyfrost Tower, Xitana, you have vaguely learned to curb your arrogance. You know that you can't be too presumptuous in front of nobles and people who are more powerful than you. Even if it will be exposed after a long time, at least you can still disguise it well at the beginning."

"Otherwise, you would have dropped out of the Sky Frost Tower and already had the power of the Crystal Ladder. You would have killed the tax collector who came to exploit your village long ago, and you would not have allowed yourself and your sister to be captured by Earl Red Frost so easily, right?"

"Then the question is, if that's the case... why were you so rude when I first met you?"

The true malice churning in Ansher's heart turned into the most deadly fangs here.

"Xitana, I have carefully read the information about you and came to an interesting conclusion."

"You have many talents...but what interests me most is your nearly omnipotent intuition."

"Like sensing hostility and murderous intent at that banquet, or helping you find prey, or even having the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm like a wild animal with strong survival skills, right?"

Anser looked at Xitana, who was struggling madly and trying to throw him to the ground and rip open his throat on the spot, and his tone was still leisurely and calm: "You can vaguely feel a person's character and even his essence, so when you face those nobles who are too dangerous and want to chop off their hands and feet at any time, you will try your best to restrain your frenzy."

"But on the contrary... when facing harmless people, the barbarity and arrogance in your heart will grow uncontrollably. Am I right, Sitana?"

——Of course, this is not the case.

The arrogance that runs in Hitana's blood makes her unwilling to bow to anyone. She would temporarily submit to a tough noble just because she wants to consider her family.

That is why the future Blue Sky Wolf Emperor will appear so invincible - because by then she will have already lost everything worth cherishing and transformed into a higher level of consciousness.

But Ansor doesn't need that future, nor will he allow Xitana to have that kind of awareness.

So, in this long battle of words, Anther was ready to give Hitana the final fatal blow.

"So, your rudeness to me is not because you can't restrain your arrogance for a moment."

"It's because your instinct tells you...I won't pursue your offense."

“Haaaa…Haaaa…Hydra, Hydra…”

The frantically struggling Xitana had already fallen to her knees. The sound coming out of her throat was so violent that it didn't sound human. However, Anser continued to pronounce the verdict mercilessly without any pause:

"You're using me."

"You have provoked and offended me time and again. After gradually confirming that your intuition was correct, you have become even more unscrupulous." "Hydra... I want to... kill..."

"Then, you even took advantage of my tolerance to gain benefits. Although that was not your subjective intention, you still followed your intuition without hesitation, right?" "Kill you... Kill you!"

"Not only that, you even complacently attributed all the credit to yourself afterwards. Well... from a certain perspective, this was indeed caused by you, wasn't it?"

Hydra sighed compassionately, and with the most regretful and helpless tone, he swung down the most cruel and ruthless hammer, completely crushing the dignity that the wolf cub regarded as his life:

"Xitana, you are so despicable, so cunning, so..."

"Bully the weak and fear the strong."

"Hydra!!!"

The almost insane roar even shattered the glass in the study. Fury, hatred, tyranny... the endless anger brought Hitana a power that did not belong to her now.

collapse--!

The whip blade that was binding her tightly was actually broken apart by brute force. Her bloodshot eyes left thunder-like marks in the air. The girl, with bloodstains all over her snow-white skin, howled wildly and pressed Anser to the ground in an instant - Anser himself did not react at all.

However, he wasn't worried at all.

Even if Sitana crushed his neck in a split second.

Because he had already put a chain on the ferocious wolf cub, and there was no need for him to pull the chain, which would automatically strangle Hitana's neck.

At this moment, Hitana should have completely lost her mind due to her self-hatred and nameless anger.

But before that... she had heard the melodious bells of the future with her own ears.

Father, mother, sister, village...

What would happen to them if Hydra died?

When this thought flashed through Sitana's mind, her hands had already stopped.

——Even though she had already grabbed Ansher's neck with both hands.

"I……"

Riding on Ansher, the naked, blood-stained girl began to tremble.

"What am I...doing?"

She looked at her loose, trembling hands, confused, scared, and asked herself empty questions:

"Why would I... do this?"

"No... that's not the case... I didn't mean to take advantage of..."

She would never get so angry about something she hadn't done. At most she would just beat the other person severely.

But just now, the killing intent that engulfed everything... Could it be that my intuition, my heart...

Was she really acquiescing and taking advantage of Hydra's...tolerance?

"Impossible, I can't possibly... I absolutely won't... wuu ...

"Wuwuwuwu... How could I be..."

"...Could it be... someone like this?"

The girl riding on Anser lost all her strength and cried in confusion and helplessness.

"It's really ugly, Miss Sitana."

A sigh of pity sounded in the ears of the howling wolf cub.

"Whether it's the crazy behavior caused by anger or the helpless crying now."

Anser stood up, held her waist with one hand, pulled out a silk scarf from his collar and wiped her cheek, saying gently: "They all look ugly."
