Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

As the sun began to set, Wang Jian led his wives to a grand dining table, lavishly adorned with intricate carvings and exquisite tableware, all complemented by the warm, flickering light of dozens of candles. The table was surrounded by ornate chairs, each more splendid than the last, and placed strategically to optimize both comfort and aesthetic appeal.

As Kang Huian and Han Xifeng sat down, they couldn’t help but marvel at the grandeur of the dining hall. It was unlike anything they had ever seen before, and it made them feel both awed and slightly intimidated.

A plethora of dishes was arranged with meticulous care and precision. The table was adorned with ornate silverware, and the dishes were placed in stunning porcelain bowls and plates.

The dishes on the table were a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies. The meat dishes were prepared from rare beasts found in the Mellow Magnolia Woods and Thundering Hemlock Woods. These beasts were known for their succulent meat, which was not only flavorful but also beneficial for the physique.

The vegetarian dishes were equally exquisite, with the fresh aroma of different herbs and spices mingling in the air. The vegetables were sourced from the Miracle Angel Tribe, known for their expertise in cultivating rare and nutritious herbs.

As they began to dine, Lady Xia swept in with a warm smile on her face. She greeted her daughter, Fen Shuying, and inquired about the outcome of the meeting.

Fen Shuying recounted the events of the day, explaining each tribe’s grievances and Wang Jian’s plans to address them.

Lady Xia nodded in understanding as she saw her daughter excitedly inform her of all details that occurred in the meeting room.

And naturally, Fen Shuying didn’t mention anything regarding Kang Fu and the way Wang Jian dealt with him.

All other of Wang Jian’s women silently ate their dinner while the mother-daughter duo talked.

Wang Jian relished the succulent Jade Hare meat, savouring each bite and washing it down with the expensive red wine. His eyes fixated on Lady Xia as a twisted smirk crept onto his face. There was a dark, malicious glint that appeared in his eyes as he hungrily stared at her form.

‘I have waited long enough,’ Wang Jian thought as an evil fire lit within his heart.

The delectable feast came to a close, and everyone at the table had their fill. Wang Jian rose from his seat and gestured to the others, “Allow me to lead you to your chambers. Our maids have been instructed to prepare them to your satisfaction.”

One by one, he led each woman to their room respectively. Fen Shuying and Lady Xia kept on talking in whispers on their way.

The first one to reach her chambers was Su Xian. While the final two were Fen Shuying and Lady Xia. ℴ𝓶

They soon reached Fen Shuying’s chambers and stopped. Wang Jian spoke, “It’s been prepared for you, Shuying. I even told them to burn jasmine incense. I know you love that fragrance.”

“Woah! That’s amazing. You really know me the best!” Fen Shuying exclaimed happily as she hugged him.

Wang Jian lightly stroke her hair while giving her a smile, “Alright. Go to your room and sleep. We have a long day ahead of us.”

“Mhm~! Have a good night, dear,” She spoke as she tip-toed and pecked his cheek.

Knowing that her mother was watching, Fen Shuying was really embarrassed as she rushed to her chambers and closed the doors.

Only Wang Jian and Lady Xia were left in the corridors.

“Please lead me to my chambers,” Lady Xia requested politely.

“Of course, right this way,” Wang Jian replied, gesturing towards the end of the hallway.

As they approached the final room, Wang Jian opened the door and announced, “This will be your room, Lady Xia. Why don’t you have a look inside?”

Lady Xia nodded and stepped into the room, immediately taken aback by the opulence of her surroundings.

The chamber was unlike any of the others in the hallway, adorned with exquisite embellishments and grandeur that outshone its smaller counterparts.

It was evident that this room held a special significance, reflected in its lavish decorations and bespoke architecture.

Lady Xia couldn’t help but marvel at the level of detail and effort put into creating such a magnificent space.

Unbeknownst to her, Wang Jian silently entered her chambers and closed the door behind him. The resounding clicks of the lock echoed through the room, causing Lady Xia to turn her head in surprise.

Upon seeing it was only Wang Jian, a wave of relief washed over her features.

“Is there anything else you require, Your Highness?” Lady Xia inquired, lost in admiration of the room’s exquisite designs.

Unbeknownst to her, Wang Jian had completely abandoned his restraint and was now eyeing Lady Xia’s alluring curves with an unbridled, lascivious gaze.

However, she remained oblivious to his lecherous intentions as she continued to appreciate the opulent décor surrounding her.

Wang Jian cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. “I just wanted to make sure that you’re comfortable and that everything is to your liking,” he said smoothly, masking his true intentions.

Lady Xia turned to face him and replied, “Oh, yes, everything is perfect, thank you.”

Wang Jian’s gaze lingered on her, and he took a step closer, invading her personal space. “You are too kind, my lady,” he murmured, his voice dripping with lust.

Lady Xia finally turned to fully face him, a look of confusion crossing her features. “Is there something else, Your Highness?” she asked, unaware of his true intentions.

Wang Jian’s eyes flickered with sudden wickedness, his grin spreading across his face like a stain. He reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair behind Lady Xia’s ear, his touch causing her to shiver slightly.

“There is something else I desire,” he said, his voice low and filled with dark intent. Lady Xia’s heart quickened as she watched him, sensing that something was about to happen.

Suddenly, without warning, Wang Jian’s right hand darted out and latched onto Lady Xia’s buttocks, squeezing them firmly twice.

Lady Xia let out a gasp of shock and fear as she realized the true nature of his intentions.

Wang Jian’s smile widened, relishing in the terror that he had caused to spread across her face.

“W-what are you doing, Your Highness?!”
