Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

179 Benwang has never suddenly fallen over, but benwang can make you suddenly fall over Part I

The farewell between Ouyang Feilong and Ouyang Hongxian was all within Bai Yu’s sight.

This was the second time Yue Nan revealed the image of a previous life through the mist. This time, it was Ouyang Hongxian, in the same golden armor as the heavenly general. However, what surprised Bai Yu was Ouyang Feilong in a golden robe embroidered with a four-talon dragon, the symbol of the crown prince.

If Ouyang Hongxian was the god of war and the elder prince of heaven, then what Bai Yu saw would mean that Ouyang Feilong was the younger prince who was Taizi?

Now Bai Yu understood why her insignificant fate needed her soul’s crossing between worlds to be fixed. It was because everything was related to heaven!

She hoped she was not some princess or goddess up there…

“Heh heh.” A low laugh from Yue Nan, in the form of a man, made Bai Yu whip her head back in fright. Her biaoge smilingly nodded when he knew she had a rambling thought. And somehow, her thought was correct!

‘Do you wish to know more?’ Yue Nan’s voice sounded in Bai Yu’s head. This time, it was the goddess of fate’s voice, not the Yue young master.

Bai Yu shook her head. This was already enough. Her fate in this mortal world alone was already a headache. She did not want to further burden herself with the past that had happened in heaven. Even if she was a pig or a duck in heaven, she did not care!

This villainess felt faint…

.....

Bai He appeared no longer than one shichen after the four of them met. He came to warn Ouyang Feilong that it was time to return. Before they parted, Bai He and Yue Nan did not have a chance to say farewell. Though the pain of parting was there, their duties had to come first. Despite being close childhood friends, her brother had yet to learn of Yue Nan’s true identity. Thus, he thought that there was no need to waste time when there was a chance of another meeting as long as they both were alive…

Bai Yu hoped so, too. She hoped to meet Yue Nan and Ouyang Hongxian again, even though their status had irrevocably changed.

Before leaving, Yue Nan thanked her again for her perseverance, which had changed her fate. The silver-haired man studied her with his blue eyes. Then, he gently smiled before leaving his parting words. ‘Every connection is made by fate. Every fate is born from actions.’

Yue Nan and Ouyang Hongxian left with the darkness of the night, leaving only her and Ouyang Feilong’s fate to continue from here on.

Bai Yu and Ouyang Feilong traced their steps through the secret passage. Bai He had followed them at first, before leaving at a crossroad within the passage. When they arrived at the palace, sleepiness was washed cleanly away. Bai Yu’s curiosity had trumped tiredness. Ouyang Feilong’s sadness was slightly lessened by the tight frown on his consort’s face.

“Is something bothering you?” The question came with a soft laugh.

“It’s just that I never expected it…” Who would have expected that the relationship between two men who had met for not so long would be the continuation of their fate from a past life?

“Brother said it’s the story of his prior life.” Ouyang Feilong had an opportunity to speak with Ouyang Hongxian and Yue Nan before bringing Bai Yu to meet them.

The relationship between the two men was indeed surprising. Ouyang Feilong had never seen a sign indicating that his brother was a cut sleeve. Even after hearing the story that brought his brother’s fate to intertwine with that silver-haired man, he still could not fully comprehend it. But he had to. Yue Nan was the one who could see through the past and present.

No, the reason was rather that Yue Nan was an incarnation of the goddess of fate.

In truth, what Ouyang Feilong knew was only that Yue Nan and Ouyang Hongxian were originally heaven’s denizens, bound together by a sin committed against someone within heaven. However, his penance was long overdue, too long for heaven to wait. The army wanted its general. Thus, Yue Nan, who was the goddess of fate, had to interfere by pulling Bai Yu into their entanglement.

What Ouyang Feilong did not know was that the victim of Ouyang Hongxian’s crime was actually him, who was the crown prince of heaven. It was an unbelievable story, which he could do nothing but believe since Bai Yu’s story of transmigration was also unbelievable, but true.

Bai Yu studied Ouyang Feilong’s expression. She could not stop herself from asking: “Does Your Highness believe it?”

Ouyang Feilong arched an eyebrow. “You don’t?”

“It is quite hard to believe…”

“But benwang does…” Ouyang Feilong spread his arms out on two sides, allowing Bai Yu to help take his outer robe off before preparing to sleep. “…There’s no mistake. He is the son of heaven.”

He was talented, dignified, and gentler than anyone.

“That’s enough to convince Your Highness to believe in fate?” She asked while adjusting her husband’s clothes, unaware of the glimmer in Ouyang Feilong’s gaze when he looked at her.

“Rather, benwang believes it because you’re here. Right in front of benwang.”

Bai Yu paused. She lifted her eyes to look at him.

Their gaze met. Ouyang Feilong revealed a gentle smile. “It is fate that brings you to meet benwang.”

Bai Yu’s eyes widened. “Wangye knew…”

He knew she had transmigrated here?

Ouyang Feilong took her hands into his, sharing his warmth with her. “Since birth, there’s always been this yearning, this waiting for something. No matter what lies ahead, benwang’s willing to cut it down to reach that something. And when benwang spoke with the goddess of fate, benwang finally knew.”

Other than the history of the two gods, Yue Nan must have revealed his true identity, along with the story of how she came here.

“At first, benwang thought that the yearning was for a mother’s love. But now benwang knew… What benwang had been waiting for was your love. Yours and yours alone.”

Bai Yu could not utter a word. Her heart feared that the man in front of her would know the secret that she had transmigrated here. At the same time, the warmth from his hands made her stare at him, dumbfounded… Was this truly the same foul-mouthed man who enjoyed arguing with her?

“Xiao Yu.”

“Y…Yes, Your Highness.”

“Benwang cannot bear to see you die again.”

He knew…

“Up until now, it’s been your fate…”

He really knew.

“But from now on, can it be our fate instead?”

She did not answer, only standing still and staring at Ouyang Feilong. Her heart beat so fast that it felt like it would burst out of her chest.

Seeing her silence, Ouyang Feilong did not rush for an answer. He merely held her hands, never moving to leave or let go.

No matter where she came from.

No matter what she went through.

As long as she was with him, he had no fear of whatever fate awaited him.

“I am not…”

Not the Bai Yu he had been waiting for.

She was Bai Yu of the hundreds of years in the future, whose soul was transmigrated into this body…

“Xiao Yu.” Ouyang Feilong’s tone seemed to become sterner when she shook her head, not even finishing her own sentence. “Are you sure you want to say that?”

Then what should she say?!

She was not Bai Yu, who he had known ever since she was a young girl… Apart from Bai Hua and Yue Nan, she never intended to tell anyone of her true origin. But it was easily told to Ouyang Feilong!
