BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1 1: The Villain
"What in the world...?"
A young man opened his eyes, only to have a confused expression plastered all over his face.
There was a girl\'s face right before his eyes. The girl appeared to be in her early twenties yet possessed peerless beauty that could charm anyone in this world.
However, currently Xu Shan didn\'t care about her beauty. His mind was already in chaos about the sudden change of surroundings.
At that moment, the girl\'s eyes were closed. Her gentle breathing sound could be heard in the silent room as her chest rose and fell rhythmically.
Xu Shan was already surprised to find the girl right before his eyes that it took him some time to realize his own weird position.
At the moment, he was right above the girl whose clothes were a little disheveled. The girl was sleeping on the bed while he was just above her, with only a few inches of gap between their bodies.
His face was so close to her that it felt as if he was just about to kiss her before he came to his senses.
He quickly lowered his gaze, checking himself. It was only when he made sure that he was still wearing his clothes that he relaxed a little. He confirmed that he still hadn\'t done anything to the girl, as they were both adequately clothed.
However, now was not the time for him to relax. He didn\'t make any sudden movements as he was worried that he would wake the girl and end up facing a disaster. First, he wanted to know just where he was! And how did he end up in this situation?
As far as he could remember, he was still in the hospital, where he was having a hard time breathing. The beeping sounds of the machines could be heard loud and clear.
At the time, he knew that he wasn\'t going to live longer. He also understood it was probably his last day. He had lived most of his life with a strange sickness that troubled even the best of doctors. Throughout the years, his body kept getting weaker and weaker until he couldn\'t even get off the bed anymore.
For the last five years, he had been living in the hospital, waiting for a miracle. He knew this day was inevitable when the doctors couldn\'t even detect what was wrong with him. In fact, he had been prepared for his death for a long time. The only thing that worried him was his father.
His mother died a long time ago. And now his father only had him, and he was also going to leave. He tried his best to stay awake even though his body was telling him to sleep so that this pain could be over. He still wanted to see his father one last time before dying.
The most famous doctors in the country were trying their best to keep him alive.
The doctors wouldn\'t have tried this hard for any ordinary person. However, he was different. His father was the wealthiest man in the world and also the owner of the best hospital where he was staying.
Unfortunately, it wasn\'t long before the entire world turned dark for him, and the pain finally subsided.
He thought this was the end of it. However, here he was... As soon as he felt some sensation in his body, he opened his eyes, only to find a completely different environment. He wasn\'t in the hospital anymore. Moreover, his body wasn\'t in pain.
What was even more bizarre was that there was a girl under him! He didn\'t notice it initially, not now that he looked carefully, he could see that the girl\'s hands and legs were tied as well.
He looked around, carefully observing his surroundings. The room was big... In fact, it was even bigger than the best room in their mansion, despite the fact that his mansion used to be the most expensive in the world. The room also looked somewhat ancient, as if it wasn\'t from the modern era.
The room was decorated really well. Many treasured paintings could be seen hanging on the wall that Xu Shen had never seen in his life. However, one glance at them, and it was evident that they were made by great masters.
The room was like a room of some Royal. Details of gold and silver could be seen all around the room as well as plenty of treasures.
"I\'m sure I had died. Then I woke up here. Don\'t tell me the things that I only read in the books really happen... I\'m in another world?"
Throughout the five years that he was in the hospital, Xu Shan couldn\'t do much due to his weak body. His stay inside the hospital was very boring. Other than the time that was spent on doctors trying to treat him through various means, he spent most of his time on his hobbies.
As for his hobbies, there weren\'t a few either. He was a painter himself. Even with his weak body, he could still use his paintings to distract himself from his own situation. He also had another hobby that was related to music.
Whenever it was raining outside, he could often be seen with a guitar in his hand, playing strings that could charm anyone.
He also had a habit of reading various fantasy novels to escape from his mundane life. Through these characters of the novels, he could at least imagine a new world and live a new life, even though imaginary.
He never expected that there was a possibility of something like that happening to him. In fact, he still found it hard to believe, wondering if he was still dreaming.
He pinched his cheeks to make sure he wasn\'t dreaming, only to feel pain. He became sure he wasn\'t dreaming.
"This really isn\'t a dream, then... Is this girl a real princess?" Xu Shan frowned. "Am I going to die on my first day in this world for trying to do something with the Princess?"
He had a really bad feeling about this. Not wanting to wake up the girl, he carefully moved back, eventually getting off the bed without making much noise.
"This guy... He really didn\'t have anything good in his mind when he snuck in, did he? If anyone sees me here, I\'ll be dead!"
Xu Shan quickly turned around. He wanted to leave this place as soon as he could, not intending to get caught. It was only after reaching a safe place that he could try to figure out his own situation and find out what kind of a world this was. It certainly wasn\'t earth!
He carefully opened the door in his direction before peeking outside.
Outside the room, there was a hallway that wasn\'t any less luxurious than the room itself! There were plants decorating the hallway. The plants were ones that he had never seen before. The vases were also clearly made from pure silver!
Fortunately, the hallway was empty, which allowed Xu Shan an opportunity to sneak outside. He was also slightly surprised that the room of a Royal wasn\'t being guarded. He even wondered if he was wrong about this being a room of a royal. However, now wasn\'t the time to think about it!
He stepped outside the room and silently closed the door behind him to not make any noise.
He sighed in relief after closing his door. However, his face instantly turned pale as he heard footsteps right behind him! It was as if someone had appeared behind him like a ghost which should\'ve been impossible for an ordinary human!
His legs froze. He was caught. He didn\'t know what his punishment was going to be. He couldn\'t just tell them that he had nothing to do with the girl inside and that he had just received this body!
While thinking about a good excuse that could at least save his life, he slowly turned around.
As he turned around, he noticed a dark-haired man who was in his late thirties. The man had an intimidating Armor around his body that looked as if it could face a rain of thousands of arrows and still stay unscratched!
For some reason, the man gave him an incomprehensible feeling as if he was strong enough to destroy multiple countries back on earth, all alone!
The man also carried a sword on his back. However, Xu Shan could only see the sword\'s hilt from where he stood.
Standing before the man, Xu Shan felt like he was standing before a majestic mountain! The man gave him a feeling as if he was no less than a god, possessing strength that was impossible for even the strongest of human beings on earth!
Xu Shan rubbed his neck, feeling a chill run down his spine. He could already imagine his head rolling on the ground when the man found out what \'he\' did to the girl inside.
The man\'s sharp eyes looked at Xu Shan expressionlessly.
Xu Shan clenched his fist. Even when he was sure that he was going to die, he still wanted to try one last time and give an excuse.
Xu Shan took a deep breath, opening his lips.
Thud~
Before he could even speak a word, the god-like man dropped to his knees, yelling, "Third Prince!"
\'Third Prince?\' Xu Shan closed his mouth abruptly, stunned. He didn\'t say anything, realizing that the situation was somewhat different than he expected. Maybe he wasn\'t in trouble after all!
He finally realized that maybe he wasn\'t in the body of a pervert. It was his room! He was the Prince! That meant the man before him was one of his guards as well!
\'No wonder he is respectful. However, what about the girl? Who is she, then? Why did I tie her up? Something doesn\'t feel right!\'
While Xu Shan was still lost in his thoughts, the man before him spoke, "Your Highness, I\'ve dealt with all the witnesses as per your command. Every witness that saw you take the unconscious Saintess of the Celestial Palace has been killed! Now no one knows that the Saintess was drugged and kidnapped by you!"
The dark-haired man didn\'t even raise his head as he spoke. It was as if the man who was strong enough to kill Xu Shan with a single slap was scared of him!
"Now, the Celestial Palace can\'t have any evidence that we were involved. However, I still suggest that you don\'t keep her alive for long."
"We still don\'t know if the Celestial Palace has any artifacts to locate their Saintess. By tomorrow, they might find out that their Saintess has been kidnapped. If they use a treasure and find out that she\'s in this Palace, it\'ll be quite troublesome. Once our involvement is discovered, the Celestial Palace will do anything to kill you!"
"After you\'re done playing with the Saintess, you should kill her. Tomorrow morning, I\'ll take her body outside the Empire and bury it."
Since the dark-haired man didn\'t look at Xu Shan\'s face, he didn\'t know just what kind of strange expressions the young man had.
He didn\'t realize that Xu Shan\'s face was completely blank in disbelief. Just when he thought that the man he possessed was probably not a bad guy, he found out that it was much worse! He was not a good guy at all. He was a... Villain! A villain who had just kidnapped a Saintess of Celestial Palace?!
