Villainous Undercover (6)
Seeing that the hunting of the prey was almost done, Fu Xiyu put all the prey into a sack and hid it in a dark place. She told Song Xuyi her plan: she intended to first send Song Xuyi back to the courtyard and then return to the forest to bring the prey back…
Song Xuyi naturally had no objections.
After all, this body was young, and although she tried hard to keep her mind clear to understand more about Fu Xiyu, Song Xuyi ultimately could not resist sleepiness—she lay on Fu Xiyu’s shoulder, listening to the whistling wind on both sides, and she didn’t even know when she fell asleep.
The next day, Song Xuyi was woken by the “ding-ling-ling” sound of the system’s alarm.
Song Xuyi yawned, her body was sore all over, and her head was throbbing painfully. She lazed in bed for a while before drowsily dressing, getting up, and washing up. While Song Xuyi was washing her face, the familiar knocking sound came again from the doorway.
Unlike Song Xuyi’s listlessness, Fu Xiyu looked as energetic as ever. Song Xuyi yawned continuously and didn’t bother to hurry, directly placing the hairband, comb, and breakfast money into Fu Xiyu’s hand—
“You wait for me a moment. If later there’s really not enough time, you can use your Qinggong to fly me over.”
Fu Xiyu’s expression was somewhat stunned, then she nodded, and her eyes seemed to carry a trace of a smile.
Song Xuyi didn’t pay her any mind.
At this time, Song Xuyi was really too sleepy; her actions were slower than usual. She slowly washed her face, applied some anti-freeze balm, looked around to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, and then slowly sat on her small stool.
As usual, Song Xuyi rested her head on Fu Xiyu’s knee and once again fell asleep while having her hair combed.
When she woke up again, Song Xuyi was already at the martial arts field. The cold wind blew, and listening to the noise of the disciples around her, Song Xuyi became fully awake and began her morning training once more.
After the morning class ended, Song Xuyi finished her meal in the dining hall and carried her homemade simple lunch box on the way back to the martial arts field. Worried that the food might get cold, she quickened her pace, and only then did Song Xuyi later realize something subtle—when did her relationship with the villain become so good?
This feeling reached its peak when she saw Fu Xiyu and Song Xu talking together.
Because when Fu Xiyu took Song Xuyi as an apprentice, she showed an indifferent attitude, even though the world hadn’t yet developed to the later plot where Fu Xiyu seriously injures Song Xu, Song Xu’s first impression of Fu Xiyu wasn’t good either.
Therefore, when Song Xu discovered Fu Xiyu following behind Song Xuyi, Song Xu became very guarded, especially when Fu Xiyu, dragging a bag of prey, said she wanted to talk alone with Song Xu. Song Xu’s face was even more filled with vigilance.
However, this time, who knows what Fu Xiyu said to Song Xu on the side, but Song Xu’s cold and guarded expression gradually dissipated, and when looking at Fu Xiyu, his face even carried a bit of a smile.
What did Fu Xiyu tell him?
Thinking of Fu Xiyu’s future villain identity, alarm bells rang loudly in Song Xuyi’s heart.
After all, Fu Xiyu handles myriad affairs daily, and after saying a few sentences to Song Xu, returned inside. Song Xuyi inquired about what Fu Xiyu said to Song Xu, but Song Xu just smiled, patting Song Xuyi’s head: “Children shouldn’t think too much; eat more to grow taller—”
?!
Song Xuyi pursed her lips.
Throughout this whole journey, most of the time, the one in charge was actually Song Xuyi. As long as Song Xuyi could persuade Song Xu, he was very obedient. Therefore, Song Xuyi always felt that Song Xu was a well-behaved child, yet she didn’t expect that after staying with Fu Xiyu for just a little while, Song Xu was assimilated into a naughty child!
In the future, she must reduce the contact between Song Xu and Fu Xiyu!
Song Xuyi clenched her teeth and secretly made a determination in her heart.
Because in this plot outline, the two people who are enemies secretly have a secret, the more Song Xuyi thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. In the following few days, she didn’t really want to pay attention to Fu Xiyu, and Fu Xiyu either didn’t notice Song Xuyi’s distancing, or noticed it and deliberately pretended to be ignorant, still remaining very close to Song Xuyi.
Especially since Song Xuyi has this kind of personality that responds to kindness rather than harshness: if Fu Xiyu ignored Song Xuyi, it would be fine, but Fu Xiyu, when dealing with Song Xuyi, no longer had the posture of a naughty child. She was extremely considerate and gentle towards Song Xuyi, being a very competent senior sister…
Song Xuyi could be cold once or twice, but after being cold more often, she herself felt she was somewhat excessive, and unknowingly she once again softened her attitude towards Fu Xiyu.

Very soon, a few more days passed.
In these few days, after a rain, the weather became increasingly cold. Even though Song Xuyi wore several layers of thin clothing to resist the cold, she still felt chilled to the bone standing in the wind.
Song Xuyi then remembered that she forgot to remind Song Xu to bring her thick clothes.
However, they had agreed that Song Xu would come up once a month, and Song Xu had just gone down the mountain…
Song Xuyi also did not want to make a special request to practice martial arts indoors, so she could only endure the shivering cold wind, constantly shivering in the wind.
Song Xuyi also did not expect that after breakfast, the gatekeeper would come to find her, telling her that a family member had come to see her.
—Song Xu, carrying a bulging bundle, stood beside the mountain gate, smiling brightly at Song Xuyi.
“See if it suits you or not?”
Song Xuyi hadn’t had time to ask when Song Xu already handed her the bundle.
At the top of the bundle was a shiny, smooth fox fur, feeling soft and silky, with many winter clothes underneath.
“You really are something! Even when cold, you don’t know to tell your brother, it was your Senior Sister Fu who was attentive and noticed, then came to remind me.”
“She really is a good person, and she even told me that among her prey, there was a fox specially hunted to exchange for fox fur for you.” Song Xu looked at Song Xuyi reproachfully for a moment, then said while taking out a money pouch: “This is the money from the remaining prey, your Senior Sister asked me to give all the money to you, saying that now you are responsible for the food and living expenses of the two of you.”
“I used to worry that your Senior Sister was cold and hard to get along with. Now seeing you two get along harmoniously, I am relieved.”
So is this the matter that Fu Xiyu and Song Xu were hiding from her?
Song Xuyi held the bundle, and for a moment her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She still knows in her heart that Fu Xiyu is the villain, and that in the future the two of them are very likely to become enemies. However, perhaps because Fu Xiyu disguises herself too well, Song Xuyi has observed Fu Xiyu for a long time during this period and has not found any evidence of Fu Xiyu’s connection with the Demon Sect.
Song Xuyi even discovered that Fu Xiyu was taking care of her in her own way.
Song Xuyi knows that her will is not firm, and after getting along with Fu Xiyu for less than a month, she relaxed her vigilance towards her. But at this moment, Song Xuyi’s mind couldn’t help but raise a question: When Fu Xiyu finally becomes the big villain, could there be hidden reasons?
Song Xu naturally did not think as much as Song Xuyi.
After seeing Song Xuyi accept the bundle, Song Xu nagged again for a while: he reminded Song Xuyi that if she lacks anything in the future, she must tell him, and he expressed that he would find Fu Xiyu to understand Song Xuyi’s situation, asking her not to attempt to conceal any reports…
Afterwards, Song Xu reluctantly went down the mountain.
After hearing Song Xu’s words, Song Xuyi increasingly felt something subtle in her heart: for a moment, Song Xuyi felt that Song Xu was like a parent in modern society who communicates with teachers to understand their child’s situation at school, but there seemed to be something a bit different. As to exactly what was different, Song Xuyi couldn’t think of it at the moment.
Her heart was extremely tangled.
Song Xuyi put the bundle back in the room and, after hesitating, finally wore the fox fur and returned to the martial arts field.
With the fox fur on, her body felt warm as if wrapped in a small stove, and she really didn’t feel cold anymore.
Fu Xiyu had gone to busy herself with other things, so at this time, only Qian He and the other disciples were practicing martial arts in the field.
Song Xuyi’s body originally looked cute, and after wearing the fox fur, she resembled a little white round dumpling. Song Xuyi herself had a soft and gentle temper, making people unable to resist wanting to pinch her.
Seeing Song Xuyi’s appearance, Qian He’s eyes lit up, and his hands involuntarily reached to pinch Song Xuyi’s cheeks—

Next were the passing elder and the other senior brothers…
Song Xuyi couldn’t stand being pinched any longer, and with her small short legs, she quickly ran away, deciding to find Fu Xiyu to complain: with Fu Xiyu there, this group would restrain themselves a bit!
Fu Xiyu once said that her workplace was in the hall where Song Xuyi first saw Lu Dun; Fu Xiyu’s time was very tight, and every day she had to help Lu Dun handle many affairs.
Song Xuyi also did not expect that when she arrived, Lu Dun happened to be there and was speaking with Fu Xiyu…
Throughout this month, Song Xuyi had only seen this cheap master a few times, and she didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Lu Dun’s complexion seemed more haggard day by day, and his jade-like face increasingly dim…
Even though Fu Xiyu still had that expressionless appearance in front of her, Song Xuyi felt that Fu Xiyu seemed extremely unhappy.
What happened?
Song Xuyi’s heart tightened, and she really wanted to eavesdrop on the content of their conversation, but the two had already noticed her arrival and kept silent, not speaking again.
Song Xuyi froze for a moment, stopped in her tracks, and stepped back a few steps to a place where she couldn’t see them. Then she pretended to squat on the ground, with her back turned, holding a branch and drawing on the ground…
Sure enough, those two didn’t think to guard against Song Xuyi again, and the conversation resumed. The system, as Song Xuyi instructed, began the voice broadcast—
“Lu Dun was speaking with the villain: ‘Proceed according to plan in three days, you first make preparations.’
‘Also, you must have that day, otherwise the toxins in your body will increase more and more. I don’t want a white-haired person to send off a black-haired person. If it’s really not possible, just choose one from your several junior brothers…'”
What toxins? Why does Lu Dun want Fu Xiyu to choose someone?
“The villain answered him: ‘With my appearance, I do not hope for someone to be devoted to me. Although I am ugly, like you, I also want to choose someone I like—'”
“Lu Dun seemed angry and coldly laughed there: ‘I wonder how long you can endure!'”
“Lu Dun left, and the villain walked over towards you…”
The system did not continue further because Fu Xiyu had already stopped in front of Song Xuyi.
“Is something wrong?” Above her head came Fu Xiyu’s familiar voice, sounding somewhat hoarse.
Song Xuyi’s mind was actually in chaos.
She did not understand the meaning of the words she just heard, but subconsciously felt that these words were related to her task and were extremely important.
And between Lu Dun and Fu Xiyu, there were obviously some secrets unknown to others…
Why did Fu Xiyu finally want to kill Lu Dun with a sword in public? Clearly, there are more secretive methods to let someone die quietly… unless, she was doing it for someone to see…
Song Xuyi couldn’t help but look up at Fu Xiyu: Fu Xiyu’s lips were tightly pressed, her eyes pitch black and unfathomable, her appearance seemed no different from usual, yet Song Xuyi felt she was like a suppressed irritable fierce beast at this moment, swallowing all gloom and anger within.
When did Fu Xiyu start to become the villain?
Was it innate, or because every time she did evil, no one stopped her, and every time she was sad, there was no place to vent, leading her to finally abandon herself and walk the path of extreme exile?
…
Perhaps she indeed cannot stop Fu Xiyu from becoming the villain within the plot summary.
But Song Xuyi wants to try, to comfort Fu Xiyu, who looks extremely sad at this moment.

“Actually, it’s nothing,” Song Xuyi softly spoke, squeezing out a smile and looking towards Fu Xiyu.
She saw her own reflection in Fu Xiyu’s pitch-black eyes; her fake smile looked incredibly foolish—
Song Xuyi’s face involuntarily turned red.
“I really like the fox fur you gave me and want to give you something in return—”
Song Xuyi mustered her courage, lifted her head, and with trembling eyelashes, closed her eyes—
“I can let you pinch my cheeks, for as long as you want!”
The author has something to say:
Xuyi: Letting you pinch my face is my biggest concession, don’t fail to appreciate it!
Several years later—
Song Xu: I regret it, really, I only knew to guard against stinky boys, but never thought I single-handedly pushed my sister into the arms of a stinky woman (╥_╥)
