The Transmigrated Villain, and the Reborn Heroines - Chapter 75:

Chapter 75:

Looking at Liu Shixuan’s beautiful face slightly flushed with her starry eyes half-closed, Zhang Mu who was ready for the inevitable slap was utterly stunned.

‘Hit me already!’

‘The pure and innocent campus belle!’

‘Didn’t you always look down on me?’

‘You’re the female lead! Aren’t you disgusted that I’m about to kiss you?’

Could it be because he just threatened her, saying that if she dared to resist, he’d go after Ye Feng and the others? But that was just to provoke her anger!

Liu Shixuan must be really kind-hearted to give in so easily, right? She wouldn’t just surrender because of that, would she?

‘Hurry up and hit me! If you don’t, how am I supposed to follow the plot?’ Zhang Mu screamed internally, anxious but maintaining his cold, arrogant, and evil expression. After all, with so many people present, he couldn’t break character as the spoiled villain.

He couldn’t stop what he was doing until Liu Shixuan slapped him or explicitly rejected him. Even though he was dying to stop himself from getting closer to her face, he had to keep pretending he was about to kiss her.

Her soft pink lips were just inches away, and Zhang Mu could feel the warmth of her breath. This scene was the fantasy of countless men, yet Zhang Mu was unwilling. He feared that if he truly kissed her, it could cause the plot to reset or even collapse the entire novel’s world, reducing everything to dust.

Looking at Liu Shixuan’s tightly closed eyes, her face flushed, Zhang Mu’s mind was racing. ‘What on earth are you up to, female lead?’

‘You’re supposed to be the pure, stubborn campus belle. The script is you should slap me for harassing you. Why are you acting all shy and bashful?’

‘Are you playing the lead in some cheesy romance novel where a domineering CEO sweeps you off your feet?’

‘Where’s the protagonist, Ye Feng? Isn’t he supposed to save you? If you don’t step in soon, I’m really going to kiss her!’

As the distance between the two kept closing.

Zhang Mu’s heart was pounding as he approached her tender lips.

Finally, resistance came.

“Don’t… there are so many people here…” Liu Shixuan weakly whispered.

Zhang Mu immediately froze, letting out a sigh of relief in his heart.

‘Thank goodness, Liu Shixuan, you finally spoke up. I thought you were a goner!’

But wait… why did her refusal sound more like a timid protest rather than a firm rejection? Her tone, implying she was embarrassed by the people around, seemed dangerous.

Was she truly resisting, or just too shy to do so publicly?

Nevertheless, despite the scare, at least the plot was moving forward again.

Zhang Mu figured it was just that Liu Shixuan, being too pure and inexperienced, was caught off guard by his sudden aggression. Or perhaps she was frightened by his threats, fearing he would hurt the people around her if she resisted.

In the original novel, this was where the protagonist Ye Feng steps in. Now that Liu Shixuan had “firmly” rejected him, everything should proceed as planned. According to the system, small deviations were normal, and the world would correct itself.

So, Zhang Mu continued his role as the evil villain, leaning in even closer to Liu Shixuan’s face, flashing a sinister grin as he delivered a classic villainous line, “You think saying ‘no’ will stop me?”

“If you dare resist, everyone here will die!”

As Zhang Mu moved closer again, to his shock, Liu Shixuan closed her eyes even tighter, her delicate body trembling slightly. She seemed to have resigned herself to her fate!

Zhang Mu was dumbfounded. He had expected her to slap him by now, giving Ye Feng a grand entrance to show off and humiliate him. But instead, Liu Shixuan appeared submissive, as if she had already accepted what was coming.

‘What is going on?’ Zhang Mu wondered in confusion. Liu Shixuan wasn’t supposed to be this fragile. Sure, she wasn’t as strong-willed as the other female leads, but surely she wasn’t this weak?

Could it be that she was so terrified by his threats that she was paralyzed with fear, unable to resist? Given how kind-hearted and soft Liu Shixuan was, Zhang Mu thought this might be the case.

But now that she wasn’t fighting back, Zhang Mu had no choice but to continue. He leaned in once again, this time really about to make contact. He could already feel the soft warmth of her lips.

Fortunately, right at that moment, someone didn’t let Zhang Mu down.

A tall, angry man with veins bulging on his forehead stormed forward. It was none other than Ye Feng, the brave, righteous protagonist!

“Let go of her!” Ye Feng shouted furiously at Zhang Mu.

“Finally! He’s here! My evil villain act is all about making the hero look better!” Zhang Mu rejoiced inside.

Ye Feng stood tall, filled with righteous fury. Though Zhang Mu had hoped not to cause too much of a stir in the Dragon Nation, he couldn’t allow his woman to be kissed by someone like Zhang Mu! No man could endure such humiliation, especially not the Dragon King, Ye Feng!

Just as Zhang Mu was about to kiss Liu Shixuan, he paused, now facing Ye Feng’s wrath.

This was the moment Zhang Mu had been waiting for.

Pretending to be annoyed and hurried, he turned to face Ye Feng, but he didn’t fight back. After all, his role was that of a good-for-nothing, spoiled villain. If he fought too hard, he might accidentally hurt the protagonist and derail the entire plot.

However, just as Ye Feng, filled with anger, was about to land a blow on Zhang Mu, an unexpected twist occurred.

“Stop!”

A sharp voice rang out.

Liu Shixuan, who had been pinned against the wall by Zhang Mu, suddenly spread her arms and stood in front of him, shouting for Ye Feng to stop.
