The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Both Xin and the nobles forgot one thing - there is only one fundamental reason for the existence of the empire.

That is the emperor.

This deformed great country is the emperor's tool to anchor humanity, the only proof of Shangyan's being a "human being", and the most perfect toy in their lives.

This transcends the so-called social laws and legal rules, and ignores the various codes formed by the human group over thousands of years of development. All the rules tacitly accepted by humans are meaningless in front of the emperor.

If the emperor wants a beggar to become a grand duke today, then this beggar will become the most popular figure in the entire empire. No one will dare to envy him, no one will dare to frame him, and no one will even dare to try to spy on why he has such good luck.

If the emperor felt that clothes were unnecessary, all textiles would disappear the next morning, and even the grand duke would be naked like the common people.

No matter how mysterious, absurd, or incredible something is, as long as the emperor speaks, it will become a reality.

And now, although the emperor is gone, someone has taken over the power.

He does not yet have the same level of power as the emperor, but that is only the case now.

Anther's outstanding performance as a ruler made the nobles subconsciously regard him as just a ruler. A good ruler would always weigh the pros and cons and decide whether the huge turmoil caused by forced change is worth it. A good ruler should also have the correct answer.

However, in addition to being a ruler, Anther had another identity.

Species of gods.

It is true that from the current perspective, Anser has lost the possibility of achieving the sixth level, but the problem is... for Anser, even if he is not at the sixth level now, his strength is enough to crush the entire empire.

This is not a normal world or a normal society. The core of the empire is neither the nobles nor the common people, but the emperor, the power, and... the extraordinary.

All the nobles present should realize one thing - they have no right to bargain with Anser.

Anser doesn't need to take care of their emotions, but they need to take care of Anser's emotions.

Hydra looked at the banquet hall which was in complete silence, and the smile on his face became more sincere than ever before.

"I think you all should have figured it out. I also know what you are worried about now, but there is no need to worry about it. After all, Luo has already said it for me."

This unique existence in the world made a declaration that perfectly matched his identity as a villain:

"Because I'm more right than anyone else."

Chapter 114: Broken or Progress

Only the nobles knew how they felt when the banquet ended, and no matter what they thought, Anser was in a good mood.

"Mr. Devil, what on earth are you going to do?"

On the street where the cold wind was blowing, Xin followed closely behind Anser and asked in great confusion: "Whether it is to you or Miss Wild Wolf, I can't understand the meaning of what happened just now."

She still looked ignorant and eager to learn, as if all the exploitation and deception she had experienced in Donggang had never happened.

How far can the pressure on the nobles extend? What does this have to do with the plight of the North? Rather... Anser's attitude at the banquet just now will obviously make them lose their enthusiasm in the war. This is completely bad for Xitana. How can it be considered as helping him?

Anser paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Xin, and asked with a half-smile, "You really don't know?"

"I really—"

Xin met Anser's gaze, and the recognition and relief in his ocean-blue eyes made her suddenly silent.

After a few seconds, she blinked and said, "I know, Mr. Devil."

Anser then turned around and continued forward: "Tell me about it."

Xin looked at Anser's back, following him like a newborn kitten, and whispered softly: "The reason for the blizzard in the north is the weakening of the Flame of Feasting, so the best solution is to rekindle the Flame of Feasting."

"It's just that right now, not to mention Miss Viper, even Miss Devil doesn't have that kind of power. If you, Mr. Devil, don't help Miss Devil become stronger... No, if you, Mr. Devil, can help Miss Devil become that strong, you should be able to solve the cold current problem in the north by yourself."

After saying this, Xin took two steps forward, almost right next to Anser, observing Anser's profile from the side and back.

"continue."

Her devil gentleman just said this calmly.

Xin then continued, "In other words, we need to use some method to let Miss Demon use special methods to rekindle the flame, because Miss Demon is at the same level of power as Mr. Devil. She may have some special methods that you, Mr. Devil, cannot master... Even if she doesn't, we can only rely on her to accomplish this."

"...I don't know how Mr. Devil would do it, but what just happened at the banquet can be connected."

The Saint Lady lowered her eyes slightly. The noisy voices of the nobles as they were filled with sinful desires were so harsh that she had to listen even if she didn't want to.

"'If this madman is really going to do this, Ivora might as well be emperor'."

She recited the most representative words of her heart, and then stared at Anser's profile with burning eyes:

"That's what you're here for, right?"

The nobles who gathered in this war to determine the supreme authority of the empire did not actually participate in the war at all; they were just taking sides.

Whoever wins, Hydra or Flame, they will stand on their side.

However, not everyone will make a choice after the winner is decided. This is the safest, but also the weakest and least profitable approach.

After all, on the surface, Anser and Ivora are evenly matched. At the same time, Anser also has a weakness of a very high bottom line. Facing Ivora who has no bottom line, he is always restricted everywhere.

His dictatorial remarks at the banquet undoubtedly intensified the tendency of these "pillars of the empire" to turn to Ivora. Although Xin didn't know how Anser would use this to influence Ivora to rekindle the Eternal Flame, this was the only clue that could connect him to Ivora and it could not be meaningless.

"And... what Mr. Devil said, screening."

Xin's tone became lighter, as if he was implying, "I remember everything Mr. Devil said."

"This will allow Mr. Devil to further select the nobles who stand on your side. The nobles who choose to stand on Mr. Devil's side even though they are so unwilling are the nobles that Mr. Devil needs, right?"

"People are always complicated." Anser smiled. He looked at Xin, and the undisguised admiration reappeared in his eyes. "They will not make only one choice... Very good, Miss Xin, you are really getting better and better."

"I just saw it." Xin shook his head. "I thought about it further when I saw some people who chose to stand on Mr. Devil's side even though they were unwilling to accept it."

"That doesn't matter. After all, seeing is your ability."

The young Hydra looked at the Saint and said teasingly, "I thought you would accept my approval calmly, Miss Xin."

"…Why do you think I would do this, Mr. Devil?"

"Because isn't that what you did just now?"

Anser stopped and leaned forward towards Xin, stretched out two index fingers and pulled up the corners of Xin's mouth. The delicate and tender touch made Master Hydra somewhat reluctant to let go.

"I just showed recognition and praise, and you stopped pretending, as if your face said 'please continue to praise me'."

"You're so cute..." The boy smiled and kneaded Xin's cheek, "Your expression is so pleasing to the eyes, Saint--"

Anser's words paused slightly because he felt the sudden heavy and hot breathing coming from the edge of his fingers.

At the same time, Xin also held his hand tightly, with more force than ever before.

But in just a moment, both the heavy breathing and the force applied to Anser's hand disappeared, as if they had never happened.

"No, Mr. Devil."

Xin just calmly removed Anser's hand from his face: "I am very happy that Mr. Devil recognizes me, but it must not be that exaggerated."

"Um...really?"

Anser looked at Xin for a long while, then finally smiled and shook his head: "Then I'll take it as it is."

Crossing the empty streets, he and Xin came to a church.

"Come to think of it, you haven't explained how I helped Xi'er through this matter."

Anser knocked on the church door, waiting for an answer while also waiting for Xin's response.

"Isn't this simple? Since Miss Wild Wolf knows how to use the nobles, she must also know how to use the power of the church. The church has built many shelters in the North. It is only a matter of time before Miss Wild Wolf encounters them. And according to her personality... she will never sit idly by and do nothing about these people trapped in the blizzard."

Xin returned to his usual calm and indifferent appearance, his voice still soft and pleasant: "To help them, we need manpower, and manpower can only be contributed by these nobles. And once Mr. Devil has sorted out which nobles need to be eliminated, Miss Wild Wolf will be able to choose the nobles who can really help her and will not cause trouble."

At this point, her eyes fell on Anser's profile again: "Sure enough, just like Miss Doll... Mr. Devil also cares very, very much about Miss Wild Wolf."

"I care about you now too." Anser turned to look at Xin and said with a bright smile, "Your growth has far exceeded my expectations, Miss Xin."

"lie."

Xin said without hesitation: "If it was beyond Mr. Devil's expectations, why would Mr. Devil point out that I was not telling the truth just now?"

"Because I've been shocked before that."

Anser was already shocked when Xin was able to recover in such a short time and continue to "study" with him.

In his prediction, Xin would only show one kind of behavior - resistance, resistance to Ansher.

Being entangled in jealousy, she will definitely not be able to look directly at Ansher for a short period of time, let alone look directly at herself. She should disappear for a while. Even if she appears, she will show a variety of heavy and morbid emotions. These emotions will come surgeing, and Ansher is ready to deal with them.

But the thing is, no.

Xin appeared so naturally, without showing any abnormal emotions, which was the most abnormal thing.

Because in Donggang, Xin was already very abnormal.

And Xin's performance was not a disguise. No matter how fast the Saint Lady's progress was, she could not deceive Ansher with pure acting skills. The young Hydra could see that she had really broken free from the twisted vortex.

This incident was naturally enough to shock Ansher.

Anther could even accept that Xin pretended to be cold and jealous of Xitana, and pretended to show his distorted feelings towards him, using this extremely reasonable disguise to cover up and then plot in secret - this progress was already incredible enough, and Anther could accept it, but the situation where Xin was unshakable was not within the scope of consideration.

Such suffering has gone from being known to being unknown.

What kind of mentality did she have to be able to free herself from the abyss of jealousy that Anser had deliberately created for her so quickly? Even Anser couldn't figure it out for a while.

In other words, Anser actually had an idea, but that idea was absolutely impossible.

That is when Xin chose to accept her jealousy, her sin.

She did not escape from the abyss, but chose to sink directly into it, so she could act as if she was not hurt at all, because she accepted such pain, because such jealousy was sweet and happy to her.

But is this possible? It's not that Anser is not careful enough, but this kind of thing... is really too ridiculous.

No matter how confident he was in his ability to manipulate people's hearts, Ansel would not have thought that the cognitive barriers that the church had painstakingly built for Xin would be broken so thoroughly in such a short time.

This level of change can no longer be called degeneration, it should be called perversion!

If Xin, as a saint, can accept that she is sinful, there is only one possibility - she is completely corrupt.

But this kind of thing is obviously impossible to happen, so Xin's current state of mind has become an unknown area that is difficult for Anser to control.

...Of course, the possibility that the Saint Lady is really broken is not zero. After all, there is fate, and Anser always makes adequate plans.

But no matter how many plans we make, one thing is very clear, that is, Xin's growth rate is so terrible that it is difficult to describe in words.

Whether she was completely corrupt or used other ideas to escape from the abyss of sin, the current Xin was a completely different person from the pure saint who could not even lie.

"I will try to think of you as highly as possible. Don't let me down, Miss Saint."

However, on the surface, it was impossible for Ansel to show such vigilance. He had to always keep a firm grasp of the posture of the superior. The "test" of Xin just now was also to consolidate this posture without making any noise.

Xin is different from Mingfuro and Xitana. She is the only fully grown hero, and the power she possesses is extremely dangerous and even deadly. If Mingfuro and Xitana fail to train Anser, Anser will not be in much danger. However, if Xin fails to train, and Xin becomes a monster that even he cannot control... everything will develop in the worst and even terrifying direction.

The progress of the mind is very exaggerated. The more you can understand, the more you can see, and the more you can learn, until you reach the upper limit.

Let alone confronting Anser, even if Xin only had the ability to barely deal with Anser, once she lost control, she would only mutate at an even more terrifying speed. And whether it was a broken or mutated mind, coupled with the spiritual essence that could directly distort the soul...the Saint of the Church of the Holy Alliance would definitely become the most terrifying disaster in the world.

Of course, this is just the worst scenario. At least until now, Xin still has God as the most core pillar in her heart. No matter how bad she becomes, she can't be so bad that she doesn't even want God.

But this is indeed a trouble. Anser does not like the uncontrollable unknown. He wants to find out as soon as possible what exactly allows Xin to completely get rid of the influence of jealousy.

But even so, Ansel was not anxious. Instead, he felt a long-lost, hot pleasure.

The echoes of the abyss made Hydra's mind feel only pleasure and excitement when faced with such troubles.

When extremely low-probability events occur more and more frequently, it means that the disturbance that fate can make is approaching its limit. Under reasonable premises, the effective threads it can pull are becoming fewer and fewer.

Xin was looking at Anser.

Of course, she also saw the absolutely real and burning emotions in Ansel's eyes that made it difficult for her to control herself.

In fact, she had just lied. It was impossible for her to be too excited about Mr. Devil's recognition and praise.

Such a long time, so many things... How much did she pay and how much did she grow to be shocked by Mr. Devil and receive such affirmation?

Compared to the unconditional preference that Xitana and Ming Furo received, Miss Saint felt that her life was really not easy.

But it doesn't matter, it's all worth it.

When Anser looked at her and gave her encouragement, and said "You're so cute" as if it was a joke, Xin felt that it was all worth it.

It would be best if they were genuine words of approval, but it would be fine even if they were just words of deception meant to lead to your own downfall.

Because at this moment Ansher didn't belong to anyone, and he didn't say these words for anyone.

This is Mr. Devil who only looks at her and belongs to her.

The evil devil and the fallen saint's eyes met, and then quickly looked away, neither of them knowing what the other was thinking.
