Guide to dealing with a tsundere villain

chapter 3

Sun Ranran pursed her lips and said, "Well, in the end, he did see it after all."

She said calmly, "No." After speaking, she took out the dagger from her sleeve and said, "My husband misunderstood. It's just that this dagger was given to me by my father. My father was the one who loved me the most since I was a child. Since he... since he left, I have been carrying it with me, as if he is by my side, that's all."

She spread the dagger in her palm and handed it to Chu Yuan, saying, "Since I am married to my husband, this dagger also belongs to the prince."

Su Ranran felt that her will to survive was very strong, but she regretted why she had to cross over to the time when her original self was about to die.

Chuyuan picked up the dagger, and the long, slender fingertips gently touched Suranran's palm. He only felt that his fingertips were icy cold, not much different from the coldness of the dagger.

Chuyuan played with the dagger in his hand for a few moments, then swiftly drew out the blade. The cold light on the sharp edge flashed on his jade-like face, revealing his ambiguous smile.

That smile made Su Hanhan's heart feel a little uneasy, but at this moment, the villain suddenly grabbed her dangling hand, placed the dagger that had been taken out of its sheath into her palm, and then wrapped her hand around it tightly.

Su Ranran: ???

"This dagger is very sharp." There was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, but it didn't reach his eyes. He held her hand and lightly drew a cross on his chest with the dagger, finally resting it in the center of that cross.

"This is the exact location, but the signal is too weak, making it difficult for others to find." Chu Yuan continued to smile as he looked at Su Hanhan.

"Your Highness, please don't do this. I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you." Su Ranran said as she forcefully pulled back her hand, not wanting to play this cat-and-mouse game with him at all, especially when she could only be the one being toyed with now. It felt truly terrible.

"Don't you want to check it out? Once we pass this village, there won't be another store like this." Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and continued.

Chu Yuan chuckled, his hand flipped slightly, the blade turned around, and he swiped in the direction of Su Ranran's hand, silently leaving a red mark on her arm.

The blade was very sharp, with just a light pull, it cut deep, and blood gushed out immediately.

Intense pain shot through her arm, and Su Ranran let out a cry of pain as the knife fell to the ground.

"You are really careless." Chu Yuan smirked, holding her arm and gently l*****g away the blood on her hand with his mouth, staining his lips even redder under the wide wedding robe.

The continuously oozing blood even stained a small patch of his pale cheeks red, like a petal of a high mountain snow lotus dyed red, dangerous and alluring.

A pair of slightly curved smiling eyes carried with them a burning passion, seemingly very satisfied with this blood.

The ice-cold lips, as cold as a snake's trust, mixed with the heart-wrenching pain of the wound, made Su Ranran want to curse.

No, curse the system! Is this damn thing she's seducing human or a vampire?

"I've said it before, once we pass this village, there won't be this shop anymore. In that case, Miss Su, it's a missed opportunity on your part."

After Chu Yuan finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the door was immediately opened. A dozen or so people were escorted in by guards with knives behind them and thrown to the ground.

Su Ranran looked at the maids in front of her, all with teary eyes looking at her, sobbing and saying, "Miss... I'm sorry..."

Then another person walked in from the back door, with a dignified gait, wearing a red wedding gown, exquisite features, skin as white as snow, and surprisingly, the exact same appearance as the one she saw in the mirror.

Su Ranran suddenly realized that this was the counterfeit, and also understood that everyone in this room had come along as part of the original body's dowry.

"You fake, pretending to be our young lady!" a bold little maid spat out, itching with hatred.

Yanpin ignored her and reported to Chuyuan, "Your Highness, they did not recognize me, and everything we planned and prepared has arrived." After speaking, she pointed at the two resentful maids on the ground and said, "These two maids who came with the bride have poisoned the tea."

Pointing to the two maids behind, he said, "They are skilled, and their weapons are all hidden on their bodies."

She walked up to the few servants at the back and said, "These few have extraordinary skills, they are hired killers pretending to be servants."

Su Ranran: ... Is the original body so desperate? Actually arranging for someone to assassinate the villain on the wedding night! And using such a stupid and crude plan!

He stood up, took a few steps forward, and walked up to Miss Su Ranran: "Miss Su, it seems that after all these years, you have never really fallen for me. Reluctantly marrying me, you couldn't even wait until our wedding night."

"Do you really think that by killing me, you can marry Chu Yu, that i***t?" Chu Yuan increased the pressure on her chin, causing Su Ranran to frown in pain, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears.

She knew that Chu Yu was the male lead in the original book, the person she had always admired in her original body.

"Too bad, you are even dumber than him." Chu Yuan smirked and said, "Being dumb is truly a kind of beauty."

Su Ranran looked at the face that was close at hand, charming and enchanting, with a lack of sincerity in speech. Truly a standard villain character.

"Your Highness, our young lady is innocent. It was all the Empress Dowager's coercion! The young lady did not want this. It was our own decision, and we planned everything. The young lady did not intend to harm you! Please spare the young lady!" A maid kneeling on the ground spoke up to defend her.

"Yes, it was all the plan of the Empress Dowager. She did not intend to harm you!" another maid cried out.

Chu Yuan smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, turned to the two little maids and said, "Do you think I will let go of your young lady?"

The two maidservants exchanged a glance, one of them bit her lip and said, "Please spare our young lady, she is your queen, and will never have any other thoughts towards you in the future!"

Chuyuan smiled and shook his head, really being too unrealistic.

He hates naive people.

With a sudden swish, he drew a knife from the sheath of the guard beside him and swung it towards the servant who was still begging for mercy.

"No!" Su Ranran shouted loudly, wanting to rush over but was grabbed by the guard behind her. She watched helplessly as a head fell to the ground, warm blood splattering onto her face, the smell of blood instantly filling her nostrils.

A lively life was gone, and the maidservant next to her was so scared that her legs were trembling, and she even forgot to cry out.

This knife pulled Su Ranran back from the chaos. She turned her head to look at these people - the two maids who were loyal to the original body, the obedient but still daring old woman who continued to act for the original body, and a few miscellaneous workers who would risk their lives for money. She couldn't even remember if they were mentioned in the book.

But now, they are all living people.

Although she doesn't have any feelings for them, and they are only loyal to their original selves, she doesn't want these vibrant lives to be slaughtered by the villain.

God knows how difficult it was for them to save a life in the ICU.

Life is very precious.

Of course, a villain capable of committing g******e and massacring a city would definitely not feel this way.

Seeing the passionate Chu Yuan, whose originally clear eyes now burned with intensity, he smiled and said, "Who's next?"

Everyone was trembling with fear and dared not speak again.

"So useless, still acting tough! Stupid!" he said, swinging his knife to strike down again.

Su Ranran immediately shouted, "I am the one who wants to kill you, they are just following orders. If you want to kill, come at me!"

Chu Yuan's knife stopped in midair, then slowly lowered down, step by step walking to Su Ranran's front. A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and then he placed the knife against her neck.

The cold blade pressed against her neck, and Su Ranran forced herself to calm down.

She raised her clear eyes and looked directly at Chu Yuan, saying, "You are right. I wanted to marry Chu Yu, but Empress De forced me to marry you. I had no choice, so I planned to kill you. It was all my doing."

There's no way around it. The original body has caused a huge mess, she has to acknowledge it even if she doesn't want to.

"But you are wrong, I no longer like Chu Yu, or I can say I don't like anyone now. I want to marry him just because he has a better future. At present, he is the only candidate for the throne. Compared to you, he can certainly provide me and the Su family with better protection."

"So I chose him, but now I realize that the prince is not in a desperate situation. He has made such thorough arrangements, it seems like everything is under control. Why should I go to great lengths when success is within reach?"

Her voice is clear and melodious, like a pearl falling on a jade plate. Her crisp voice is pleasing to the ear, and her small face, though somewhat pale, cannot hide her beauty. Her almond-shaped eyes are like autumn water, and her eyebrows are like distant misty mountains. Just gazing quietly at her like this is enough to captivate one's soul.

But Chu Yuan did not buy it, only jokingly said, "Too bad, you don't have a chance to switch sides anymore."

Su Ranran shook her head and said, "What if I say I can cure the prince's heart disease? Under the heavens, am I the only one who can cure the prince's heart disease? Would the prince be willing to give me this opportunity?"

In such a terrible situation, the only way she could think of to save her life was to prove that she was useful.

Only by being useful can one survive; this is an eternal truth that has never changed.

Chu Yuan's brow twitched, the smile in his eyes faded, and his gaze stared intensely at her.

Only one person has ever told him to wait for her to come back and save him, only she can save him in this world. She was the only light in his dark world.

But she stood him up. He lost all the brightness in the world and fell completely into darkness.

But even so, this woman who has despised him since childhood, and is foolish and shallow, is not qualified to speak like this.

After a moment of daze, he suddenly moved his lips and a mocking smile spread out, "Delaying for the sake of survival is meaningless."

Su Ranran said firmly, "The only way to cure the prince's heart disease is to get a heart transplant, to replace his unhealthy heart with a healthy one."

Chu Yuan's mocking smile became even more pronounced, revealing a sense of mockery.

"This may sound like a fairy tale, but precisely because no one else can do it, I say under the heavens, only I can save the prince." She looked at the kneeling crowd and said, "I can randomly pick one of them, take out their heart and then reattach it, ensuring their safety. Will the prince trust me then?"

Chu Yuan looked at her serious expression and felt a hint of curiosity amidst the banter. He casually pointed at the two maids on the ground and said with a smile, "If those two loyal maids of yours exchange hearts, then I will believe you can do it."
