Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 450: Wang Yu Yan (25)

For a whole millennium, the system accompanied Jiang Li, so it was impossible for it to not pick up a trick or two from him. 

So what if it was true that he was indeed scared of Jiang Li at their first meeting? The child spirit was not willing to reply. So he maintained his silence and played dead. 

The annoyed Jiang Li had no way to force it to talk, so he could only drop the matter and sleep for real. When he woke up, it was already almost a day later. The exhaustion must have contributed greatly to this. He was in a luxurious room that seemed to be owned or rented by somebody with a fat wallet. 

Jiang Li could not help but click his tongue at this carelessness. 

'Is this Wang Yu Yan's house?' 

'Host, it's the General's.' 

What was the difference? Jiang Li clicked his tongue again. 

'What time is it now? And date too?'

'It is already the afternoon of the following day, 3:33 pm.'

He quickly followed up, 'What are your findings when you investigated Dong Lan and his freak race?'

He had hoped the other would instinctively answer, led by the rhythm. Unfortunately, the system died yet again. 

A minute later, Jiang Li climbed down the bed and stood barefooted before the life-size mirror. His eyes were half-closed at first and his arms moved to do some light stretches. Yet not long after, his eyes opened wide to check what the mirror showed him. 

' What the hell' There he saw that he was wearing a black robe that he absolutely didn't own. His appearance was naturally unkempt as his hair looked like a bird's nest, it looked annoying to him. 

But what really made him raise a brow and creased his forehead was his face. 

The one looking back at him was not a tan-skinned guy in his late forties. The mask was clearly taken off by someone. 

Yet even though he was supposed to look like his soul-client now due to the disappearance of his mask, instead of a strict scholar-like middle-aged man, the face reflected in the mirror was a young man in his mid or late twenties. It was the younger version of what he customized through the face-changing mask. Why was that so?

'System?' Faint annoyance crept up on his face. 

He did not know whether the damn thing was taking revenge for being asked something sensitive last time. But when Jiang Li crossed his arms and glared in front, the reflection also followed. When he frowned, it also frowned. It was troublesome since it gave him no choice but to accept that he had been had and most likely, somebody already saw this face. 

"It's nice to see you awake now." 

Sure enough, a soft voice rang from the doorway, and without turning his head, Jiang Li knew it was Wang Yu Yan. Seeing that there was no hint of shock in her face, it was apparent that she was one of those who might have seen his true appearance.

Her figure could be seen through the mirror. And for once, she was not wearing a military uniform. She wore a casual dress shirt and a long skirt. Her long brownish hair that reached past the shoulder blades was down. Her vibe now could make one feel like she was just lazy to tie it. There was also no trace of makeup on her face, not even lip-gloss. 

With her looking like that, even if the system did not say this was her home, Jiang Li would have easily guessed all the same. The usually alert villainess looked so at ease and carefree in the place because she was one of its owners. 

"Good day." He greeted her perfunctorily. 

"Yes." She said with a nod.

Jiang Li inspected what he was wearing and then looked at her. "Can you exit for a while? I don't think we should talk while I look like this."

"I don't mind though." 

"" 

'I don't know if she means it or if she's just joking. Oh, wait, this lady knows humor?'

Had he been not bothered by his face, he might have laughed and thought too much about the girl's words. But now, he shook his head and created a meter thick ceiling-high ice wall right before her. Then he marched into the bathroom. 

On the other side, Wang Yu Yan turned round-eyed with surprise and her body instinctively moved back a step. After staring at the smooth icy surface for almost a full minute, her initial befuddlement disappeared, replaced by the amusement that flashed across her beautiful face. 

'Shy?' 

'No, probably bothered by the taking off of his mask?' She wondered, the last part inferred from seeing him stand before the mirror. 

Since Wang Yu Yan had no way to see through the new walls, she just stood there, leaning her back on the opposite wall, passing the time with browsing news and articles on the internet. 

Inside the shower room, Jiang Li finished freshening up, but to his bemusement, there was actually no other set of clothes in the room apart from the bathrobe. 

What now, then? Parade his nakedness outside or still wear a revealing bathrobe and then be cut down for being a pervert? 

A corner of his lips convulsed, and he was almost forced to exchange a point with a complete casual outfit. Though of course, in the last second, he backed out, musing that buying an outfit with points was like exchanging several gold bars for a piece of bubble gum. 

"Miss Wang, may I trouble you to bring me any set of clothes?" he said after lowering the height of the newly built wall so that sounds could pass through. 

Wang Yu Yan wanted to say she would not be affected since she had long gotten used to seeing the upper bodies of the soldiers in the army. However, her voice could not come out for some time when the unsmiling eyes of the man greeted her. Who knew if he did it deliberately, but a part of his naked shoulders were showing as he moved the towel to dry his hair. 

The face was really not that much inferior to average-looking fae, which meant he was that handsome. Wang Yu Yan thought maybe this was a natural perk of being a god. 

But the muscles she saw below the neck were a bit unsightly. She didn't know the body itself was borrowed and he had yet to bring it to shape due to lack of time, but for her, he was annoyingly skinny. 

"Hold on." She tapped on her phone for some time and then a humanoid robot came over with a change of clothes in its hands. 

Several minutes later, they could finally face each other with Jiang Li appearing decent. The mask could not be found anywhere in the room so he no longer bothered with disguising his face. 

Another half an hour passed.

Who knew which bold genius built them, but apparently in just a day that he lost consciousness, benches already lined the top of the ice walls. Since each of them were made out of sand and soil, he was sure there was only one perpetrator and probably an expert at that. Anyway, the sight surprised him a bit. 

According to Wang Yu Yan, the whole border spanning thousands of miles had these sophisticatedly designed benches. She confirmed his suspicion when she said the ones who made them was a general called Zhang You, one possessing control over the earth element. 

"The view here is pretty boring," he commented after looking at the waves for more than five minutes. 

"Boring as it may look like, many people come over to look at the waves that drowned the enemy territory," said Wang Yu Yan. She preferred to stand than to take a seat. She didn't forget to add, "Of course, they also appreciate the legendary walls that held these fierce waves in place."

With one corner of her lips raised, she asked curiously, "Will you despise us for gloating over the enemy's misfortune?" 

Jiang Li gave her a tired look. What kind of question was that? 

"Girl, it's not very smart of you to ask the one who made this all possible in the first place."

"I was merely considering that perhaps, this is not the reaction from humanity that you expected," she defended herself. 

"Well, I never really considered how you guys would react apart from being happy to be alive." When Jiang Li roamed his eyes around, everyone else in the place looked happy and content even though they were shivering from the cold. Laughter could be heard from time to time. 

He nonchalantly added, "I just want to remind you. It's not advisable to celebrate too long. Give those faes a week or two and they would definitely knock on your doors with all sorts of weapons in hand."

She shrugged at him. He stood up and climbed into the backseat of the multipurpose vehicle, and the girl followed.

Wang Yu Yan actually did not need this reminder, since she and the others had already predicted it. 

The fae's territories were all submerged in waters which was not good for their race. Like humans, fae needed oxygen to survive and if they stayed underwater, while the tools they had could generate it for the city, it would consume precious fuel and other resources. There were other inconveniences that would torment them in the long run. Of course, they would want to move out of there. 

Yet if they wanted to leave, the human territory was the only place they could go. Considering the feud between the two races, the fae race would definitely try to take the cities for themselves and enslave humanity. 

Wang Yu Yan thought for a moment before slightly raising a hand like a student, "Sir, may I know when this flood would recede?"

"In two weeks or so," he estimated. 

"Sir, my memories are intact so I know those faes are aiming to enter a mythical place in that same span of time." As the hovercar descended, Wang Yu Yan blinked her eyes and asked, "Should we get ready for an attack or should we just begin the migration?"

Jiang Li gave no opinion. The help he gave was already enough. He would not participate in the next stage. Coz well, it was not like he had the powers or authority to do so. 

'Now should I wait a week for at least half of my powers to recover? Or pester this woman to accompany me to the south pole?'
