Blame the Villain – Chapter 183

Villainous Zombie King (2)

Here is the most literal and direct English translation of the provided Chinese text:

“Stop messing around!” Song Xuyi heard the voice of the psychic ability user who had knocked her unconscious: “That woman is so beautiful and now her head is injured, I don’t want to play her to death all at once like those women a few days ago. Everything will wait until she has recovered from her injuries—”

“If you want, the other woman can be given to you in a moment…”

Hearing these people’s words, Song Xuyi felt almost nauseous. After the initial amazement at seeing the woman faded, Song Xuyi realized that the woman’s head was covered with a white gauze, seemingly injured.

And at the same time, after clearly seeing this woman’s face, the system in Song Xuyi’s mind once again fell into a state of doubt—

According to the plot outline, this world seemed to have no villains, after all, the zombie tide was very likely related to the evolution of zombies. However… as soon as this face appeared, the system felt that things were not so simple—the system knew all too well: this woman was the villain every time!

However, this time the system’s sensing device also did not indicate that the woman was the villain…

What exactly was going on?

Song Xuyi did not know that the system’s mind was in turmoil.

After knowing the disgusting faces of these villagers, Song Xuyi began to plan an escape, but the other side had many people and also ability users. The only thing Song Xuyi could rely on was the system in her mind.

“System, do you know how many ability users are among these villagers?” Song Xuyi asked softly.

After a good while, the system answered—

“Before you woke up, I heard them boasting. Among this group of beasts, there seem to be three ability users: one water-type, one fire-type, and the other is the village chief. The village chief is that psychic-type man who attacked you earlier…”

Water-type and fire-type abilities didn’t have much destructive power when they first emerged. The only one Song Xuyi was wary of was that psychic-type ability user.

Song Xuyi recalled that kind of psychic attack. Thinking carefully, it wasn’t actually impossible to resist. It was just that Song Xuyi had just inherited the original owner’s body and had low compatibility with it. Plus, there was no precaution before, so that psychic-type ability user took advantage.

But Song Xuyi estimated that now that she was on guard, she should be able to withstand the psychic-type ability user’s attack.

With a rough plan in mind, Song Xuyi began to prepare for the escape.

She looked around. This firewood shed seemed very old, filled with tall piles of firewood. The scene was enclosed, with only one door and a skylight. It looked like there was no way out at all.

Fortunately, Song Xuyi had the system to cheat.

Although the system sometimes couldn’t think straight, at other times its mind was extremely quick, and it immediately discovered a flaw in this firewood shed.

“Xuyi, behind the third pile of firewood on your left hand side, there are several loose bricks. If you dig a bit, you can dig them out…”

Hearing this, Song Xuyi stood up and quietly walked to the position indicated by the system. After laboriously moving several piles of firewood, Song Xuyi indeed found several loose bricks.

Without any tools at hand, Song Xuyi could only use tree branches to silently pry the wall bricks. Soon, her hands were rubbed raw and bleeding. Afraid of being noticed by the group of men inside, Song Xuyi didn’t dare to stop, continuously grinding at the wall bricks. Fortunately, the system had unparalleled detection ability for details, and before long, Song Xuyi had removed several bricks, digging out a small hole big enough for one person to pass through.

Song Xuyi felt relieved and hurriedly picked up the woman, laboriously dragging her to the side of the small hole.

For some unknown reason, although the woman looked extremely thin, her body felt extremely heavy when carried.

Having finally half-carried half-dragged the woman to the hole, Song Xuyi encountered another difficulty: the small hole could only accommodate one person at a time.

After much deliberation, the system decided to eliminate potential risks and spoke dryly in Song Xuyi’s mind: “Xuyi, why don’t you find a chance to come back and save her later?”

“They won’t do anything to her for the time being. She’s unconscious now and is also a burden. The other side is a group of strong men. If you run alone, they might not chase you, but she is really too beautiful, and that village chief is determined to have her. If you escape with her, that group of men will definitely not give up easily…”

Song Xuyi knew that the system’s words made sense in some aspects, but she rejected the system’s suggestion almost without thinking: “I won’t abandon her!”

Although these beasts said they wouldn’t touch this beauty for now, Song Xuyi didn’t trust these beastly villagers. If the woman was left here, what Song Xuyi might see later could very likely be the woman’s withering—

Moreover, in Song Xuyi’s view: No matter when, beauty should never become a woman’s original sin.

In any era, women have the right to be respected and to obtain freedom and equality.

However, in real life, women often face more shackles than men, from small things like pointing fingers at their dress and appearance, to big things like workplace bullying and enduring in marriage… And in chaotic and backward places, this phenomenon might even become more excessive, evolving into domestic violence and restriction of freedom.

The men in this village had congealed into a group humiliating women, but if she, as a woman herself, didn’t help this unconscious beautiful woman, she might encounter the most humiliating and disgusting thing in her life… If that happened, Song Xuyi would never be able to forgive herself.

“I’ll think of another way!” Song Xuyi bit her lip and looked at the small hole. After thinking for a moment, she raised the woman’s hands above her head, placed her diagonally next to the small hole, then crawled out through the small hole herself first…

After crawling through, Song Xuyi immediately turned around, grabbed the unconscious woman’s arms, and carefully dragged the woman’s body outwards…

Just as Song Xuyi had dragged the woman’s head through the hole, the system’s panicked voice suddenly sounded: “Xuyi, hurry up!”

“Those beasts were drinking and then started clamoring to see the beautiful woman they picked up today. The village chief has already stood up and is about to enter the firewood shed to find you…”

Song Xuyi’s hand holding the woman’s trembled, then she gritted her teeth and began to drag the woman out of the hole regardless of consequences.

Originally, Song Xuyi’s fingers had already bled from grinding against the wall bricks. Now, as she exerted force, the wounds opened, fresh blood flowed out and dripped onto the woman’s face, slowly flowing into the tightly pressed lips of the sleeping woman…

The woman’s eyelashes seemed to quiver slightly, but Song Xuyi didn’t notice. She pulled the woman’s hand outward with all her might, and finally, just before the firewood shed door sounded, Song Xuyi pulled the woman out of the small hole!

Song Xuyi hurriedly carried the woman on her back and ran out quickly—

Almost as soon as Song Xuyi had carried the woman on her back, a loud shout came from inside the house, followed by all the lights outside turning on. The silhouette of Song Xuyi carrying the woman on her back fell into the eyes of all who chased out of the house.

The men chased after them—

Along the way, the sounds of crowing roosters and barking dogs were incessant. The mountain path was uneven, Song Xuyi ran with stumbling steps, sweat soaking her clothes. Song Xuyi had no time to care, breathing urgently, mobilizing all her strength to run forward quickly…

Perhaps Song Xuyi alone could have escaped, but she was carrying a sleeping woman on her shoulders. Even though Song Xuyi was using almost all her strength, the distance between the men and Song Xuyi was still gradually getting closer and closer…

The men behind seemed to have discovered something, suddenly bursting into loud laughter!

Song Xuyi’s heart inexplicably became somewhat flustered, she gritted her teeth and continued forward. At this moment, the system’s collapsed voice sounded again in Song Xuyi’s mind: “Xuyi! Stop running! There’s a cliff ahead!”

Song Xuyi never thought her luck would be so bad—she had actually run to the edge of a cliff in her panic.

Less than ten meters ahead was a towering cliff.

It was now approaching dawn, the morning light was dim, illuminating the swirling, seemingly extremely rapid water flow below the cliff.

This cliff was about twenty to thirty meters high from the water surface. If one fell into the water, there was a high chance of never being found…

Watching the villagers approaching closer with vicious smiles, Song Xuyi, strongly enduring the nausea caused by the village chief’s ability attack, put down the woman on her back.

Song Xuyi made a decision in her heart: she would rather die than be caught by these men. After the system said there was a twenty percent chance of survival after jumping off the cliff, Song Xuyi became determined to jump.

But at this moment, this peerlessly beautiful woman was unconscious, and Song Xuyi couldn’t make the decision of life or death for her. After all, the beauty had already been favored by heaven with such good looks, perhaps heaven would favor her a bit more, and the beauty would have her own encounters later, able to live well…

“Sorry, I dirtied your face.” Song Xuyi looked at the blood stains on the beauty’s face from her own blood drops, gently and carefully wiped the beauty’s cheeks clean with the corner of her clothes, and sighed softly: “I might die, or I might not. As long as I’m alive, I will definitely come to rescue you from this den of wolves again—”

Song Xuyi didn’t expect that when she moved her sleeve away, she would meet a pair of eyes quietly looking at her.

Song Xuyi knew the woman was beautiful, but after opening her eyes, the woman became even more lovely, like a bright pearl suddenly emitting a halo, so beautiful that it was momentarily impossible to look at directly.

Meeting the woman’s gaze, after the initial amazement, Song Xuyi immediately curved her lips: it was better that the woman woke up at this time, she could decide her own life.

At this time, those men began to gather around.

Seeing the woman open her eyes, the village chief leading them was extremely pleased, not hiding his desire for beauty at all, shouting towards the woman: “Beauty, come here, the cliff edge is dangerous! As long as you’re willing to serve me well, rest assured, I will have only you as my wife for this lifetime…”

The men behind burst into thunderous laughter!

The woman blinked, crawled out of Song Xuyi’s arms, and actually stood up, slowly walking towards the direction of that group of villagers—

Perhaps due to just waking up, the woman’s walk was extremely strange, like a stiff machine, slowly walking to the front of those villagers…

“Xuyi! Look at her! You worked so hard to save her, risking yourself, and this ungrateful wretch—” The system, exasperated, cursed out loud in Song Xuyi’s mind.

“It’s not her fault, wanting to live isn’t her mistake.”

Song Xuyi pressed her lips together, glanced at the woman’s back, feeling somewhat disappointed, but upon careful thought, it seemed to be within expectations.

Song Xuyi slowly retreated a step towards the cliff, just about to jump down—

And at this moment, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew around, Song Xuyi was blown off balance and sat on the ground, while a series of agonizing screams erupted from the group of men…

That woman, whom Song Xuyi thought was a dodder wanting to cling to men, looked at the blood and filth all over the ground, yet her expression remained unchanged. She lightly parted her vermilion lips, softly saying “Noisy!” then, facing Song Xuyi’s astonished gaze, walked back to Song Xuyi’s side, hugged Song Xuyi’s waist, buried her face in Song Xuyi’s neck, and nuzzled gently and affectionately—

“Mother!”

Song Xuyi: “…?!”

The author has something to say:

Today is Xuyi’s day to suddenly become a mom…
