How To Survive as a Villain

The few Imperials Guards that were accompanying him, dragged him back and advised him: “Xiao Jun Wang! You don’t know how to ride a horse, and you don’t want to ride a carriage. We can’t go back to the Western Shu Kingdom walking, can we?!”

Another Imperial Guard with good intentions also advised: “Xiao Jun Wang, once you return to the Western Shu kingdom, you’ll still be the Emperor. Above all of the people, you can have all of the wind and rain as you like¹. So why do you want to stay in this dangerous place? Here, you’re always being oppressed by others. How come you haven’t killed yourself yet?”

Xiao YuAn said: “I don’t want to be the Emperor of the Western Shu Kingdom wahh wahh! I want to sleep together with Yan HeQing! If I can’t sleep with Yan HeQing, then what’s the meaning of life? I don’t have any regrets in this life after transmigrating to this book, but I want to sleep with Yan HeQing!”

The Imperial Guards: “…….”

‘How dare he call His Majesty by his name?! How dare he call His Majesty by his name and make fun of him?! How dare he make fun of him?!!! How dare he?!!!’

In the end, the few Imperial Guards escorting Xiao YuAn made great efforts and finally stuffed him into the carriage. Xiao YuAn vainly tried to lift the curtain and escape several times, but he was forcibly suppressed every time.

Because of this, Xiao YuAn began to talk off the ears of the Imperial Guards, trying to poison them mentally: “I’ve consulted someone to read my fortune, and they told me that your Emperor’s fate is incomplete without me. It’s true, and let me tell you, don’t pay attention to your Emperor’s usually cold and heartless appearance; because in fact, he has taken over the miserable script of the Second Male Lead! Ha! I didn’t expect that! Speaking of which, my Yan-ge is actually really good! He once tried really hard to keep his desire from hurting me. This is true love, my friends! Hey, why couldn’t I notice his feelings for me earlier?”

The Imperial Guards were on the brink of having a mental breakdown.

However, after the carriage gradually moved further away from the Imperial City, Xiao YuAn began to get quieter and quieter. As he lifted the curtain to look at the back of the carriage without any hesitation, he was eagerly waiting for something, until he finally lost it. His mood was so high, that he could almost lose his mind. But after a short journey, where he anxiously stared back, waiting for someone who never came, Xiao YuAn tasted the joy and sorrows ² of life in his heart.

Seeing how the Imperial City of the Southern Yan Kingdom was getting farther and farther away, becoming so small that even if Xiao YuAn leaned out of the carriage he couldn’t see it anymore, a sudden burst of fear clutched Xiao YuAn’s heart.

‘Did Tian Xiang not send the cloth with the “I Love You” to Yan HeQing?’

‘Are we going to be separated once again? Then, when are we going to meet again? A few months? A year? Several years? What if I never get a chance to see Yan HeQing again in this life?’

These thoughts slowly took root in Xiao YuAn’s mind, as if they were tiny silver needles stabbing Xiao YuAn all over his body, causing him pain.

All of a sudden, Xiao YuAn lifted the carriage curtain, looking panicked as he murmured: “No, I have to go back. I must go back. I want to see Yan HeQing.”

“Xiao Jun Wang!” The Imperial Guards didn’t react in time when they saw Xiao YuAn unexpectedly jumping out of the carriage, without any second thoughts.

Although the speed of the carriage wasn’t particularly fast, it was still quite easy to get hurt when jumping off a moving carriage. When Xiao YuAn fell on the ground, he rolled twice, and disregarding the pain, he was about to run towards the Southern Yan Kingdom.

The Imperial Guards on the carriage hastily pulled the reins, forced the horse to stop, and went after Xiao YuAn: “Xiao Jun Wang!!”

However, out of nowhere, several men dressed with black clothes appeared from the bushes around the road, and surrounded them all, completely blocking Xiao YuAn’s way.

Xiao YuAn was stupefied as he took a few steps back and looked back at the Imperial Guards. Unexpectedly, those Imperial Guards were also at a loss, as they shouted at the men in black while drawing out their swords: “Who are you?! What are your intentions?!”

But those black-clothed men didn’t say a word. As one of them stared closely at Xiao YuAn, he made a gesture. In an instant, and without any communication or warning, the several black-clothed men fiercely drew out the swords from their waists. With a merciless killing intent, they directed their swords at Xiao YuAn with slashing motions.

I swear, XYA is so effortlessly funny those poor guards, I pray for their sanity!

But also….. Who are those men????? Is XYA going to be okay Σ(ﾟДﾟ；)
