The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!

Chapter 51 - 51: Princess Ling Er!

At the riverbank, Xiao Hei crouched low, her claws tracing the soil.

She carved a jagged cave. Inside, a small figure—Su Xiaobai—fled, arms flailing, chased by a dark wisp.

It was the Weeping Emperor's cave, where the immortal fetus, still unhatched, had pursued him.

She remembered the moment: two red orbs glowed in the mist, staring into his back as he ran like a startled chicken.

Her claws stilled. A tear fell, blurring the image.

She swiped it away and began again.

This time, the image was of Su Xiaobai and Xiao Hei sitting beside a roasted rabbit. But now, it was 'she' who had hunted it, her claws gripping the lifeless prey, blood dripping from its side.

Another tear fell. She erased the image.

Again.

Su Xiaobai beneath a tree, head tilted back in sleep. She curled against him, her head resting on his chest. Her fingers lingered before wiping this one away.

Her movements grew frantic.

Su Xiaobai laughing, carefree, his smile blinding. She sat beside him, silent and still.

A throne, jagged and rough. He sat atop it, shadowed, as though carrying the weight of countless lives. She stood behind him, a faint silhouette in the gloom. At their feet, blood spilled in rivers, a kneeling figure awaiting judgment.

Her claws dug deep, tearing through the soil. She wiped it away with a trembling hand.

Her last drawing was heavier, darker. Endless bodies paved the ground, rivers of blood stretching into infinity.

In the center stood a woman, eyes cold as a blade.

Above her, Su Xiaobai, wounded but unyielding, glared as though their conflict had spanned lifetimes.

Her claws stopped.

Tears fell freely now, soaking the earth.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The soil turned dark, her final drawing blurred beyond recognition. She pressed her claws deeper, carving jagged scars into the earth.

Finally, she stood. Her crimson eyes shimmered, unshed tears reflecting the moonlight.

She gazed into the river, her pale reflection rippling like a ghost unbound.

Rustle ~

The current murmured softly, uncaring, as it carried her tears into the dark.

The next morning, Su Xiaobai was pacing back and forth in the forest, his expression dark. Wei Jun, noticing his agitation, approached with curiosity.

"Brother Su, what's wrong?" Wei Jun asked, folding his arms.

Su Xiaobai stopped, instinctively ready to spit a few curses but swallowed them back. His tone was clipped. "It's nothing. That little demon, Xiao Hei, sneaked off somewhere."

"Huh…" Wei Jun frowned, surprised. "Didn't you have her under control?"

Su Xiaobai frowned, "So did I."

Wei Jun's expression shifted, a trace of unease flickering across his face. "How can something like that just… disappear on its own?"

Su Xiaobai shook his head, muttering curses under his breath. That little demon had slipped away like a wisp of smoke.

"Tsk, that little idiot wouldn't have gone and pissed off some bigshot and gotten herself nabbed, would she?"

Su Xiaobai smacked his forehead, groaning. Xiao Hei had the brains of a rock and the temper of a wild boar. If she'd gone and picked a fight with some fancy princess cruising down the road in their shiny carriage...

Damn, he could already picture the mess—heads rolling, his included.

"That girl's gonna be the death of me," he muttered, launching himself into the sky. His qi rippled out like an old drunk spilling wine, brushing over the forest below as he squinted for any sign of trouble.

Somewhere in the distance, Wei Jun wandered aimlessly, grumbling about being stuck with the boring
