《Life of a Villain》Chapter 24: Shi Yi
Advertisement
Andy shook his head, his attention drawn back to the man in front of him, whose body was still trembling with excitement, as his gaze fixed on the jade box in his hand.
After a while, the crown prince took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and his lips curled into a smile, his gaze fixed on the young boy in front of him.
"You do not know, but you saved the life of someone very dear to me. Even a thousand thanks will never be enough to express how grateful I am to you." The crown prince said as his hands clutched the jade box tightly.
"It's my pleasure to help you; at the very least, that fruit could save someone's life; otherwise, it would have rotted in that jade box," Andy said, slightly shaking his head.
Andy's words caused everyone on stage to stare in disbelief, with only one thought running through their heads: 'What a prodigal!'
The crown prince, on the other hand, was very impressed by the young man in front of him. Despite coming from a higher world, the young man was very humble, unlike the young masters of the noble families. He also discovered that he was exceptionally gifted, having reached the core formation realm at such a young age.
Suddenly, a thought struck his mind, but he set it aside as a token appeared on his hand as he said, "Even though I have nothing to give you right now, you will always be the guest of honor in the palace. Please keep this token, and when you're at the capital, just put some energy into it and I would come to receive you,"
Andy took the token from the crown prince's hands. His gaze was drawn to the menacing black dragon carved into the middle of a circular white token.

He nodded as the token disappeared from his hands, as he clasped his hand, and said, "It is my pleasure. I'd definitely use it if I ever came to visit the capital."
This token was all he wanted. In the book, after receiving the fruit, the crown prince offered the same token to Fang Yan. Even though the crown prince said nothing, he knew that this token granted him the special privilege of visiting the palace at any time. It was also the reason Fang Yan could seduce the princess.
Suddenly, a sense of accomplishment filled his heart. Unknowingly, his gaze was drawn to a figure in the crowd, and a young man in a white robe came into view. However, he squinted as he noticed the young man's eyes were fixed in one direction.
His attention shifted in that direction, but his heartbeat sped up as he caught sight of a figure. His gaze was drawn to a young woman in a blue robe, with a fair white oval face and black hair falling to her waist. She was incredibly beautiful.
She was sitting in a VIP box with some ladies and young masters, but her gaze was fixed on him. She smiled slightly as his gaze met hers. He was stunned and cursed internally, but he still smiled as he reverted his attention to the people in front of him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shi Yi sat in the VIP box, surrounded by her childhood friends. But her gaze was fixed on the figure on stage, who was conversing gracefully with the crown prince of the Black Dragon Continent.
In the past five days, she had heard many rumors about the mysterious young master who had come to the city to attend the gathering. But it was his accomplishment at such a young age that drew her attention. It was said that he was at the core formation realm at such a young age and that too a peak-level master.

She'd heard the young master was extremely attractive, but she didn't give a hoot about it. But when she saw the young man step out of the carriage, she felt her heartstrings being pulled for the first time in her life. A tall young man with silvery whitish hair, half of his face hidden behind a black mask, and a perfectly sharp jawline added charm to his handsomeness, she was instantly drawn to him.
She frowned as she felt someone tug on her sleeves; she turned around to see her friend referring in one direction. Her eyes squinted as her gaze shifted to the direction her friend had pointed. But when she noticed a handsome young man in a white robe staring at her, a strange expression formed on her face. Disgust filled her heart as the young man looked at her with the same gaze that Lu An used to look at her.
She returned her gaze to the young man on stage, who had just taken a token from the crown prince, but she felt butterflies in her stomach when she noticed that the young man was looking in her direction, and unknowingly a smile bloomed on her face when she felt his gaze on her. But her heart skipped a beat when she noticed him smiling back at her. She felt something she had never felt before in her life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fang Yan's gaze was fixed on the young woman sitting in the VIP box; he had never seen such a beautiful girl before in his life.
Even the tiniest movement from her made his heart skip a beat. Even though he knew that she was engaged to a boy from the powerful Lu family, he was confident that no one could match his talent, and that he would eventually become powerful enough to face the Lu family alone, which was why he felt no fear when he heard about the Lu family. And he was confident that the girl would eventually fall for him after getting to know him and his talent, as her future would be dazzling.
His heart pounded faster when he noticed she was looking in his direction, but a strange feeling arose in his heart when he noticed a disgusted expression on her face when she looked at him. He felt as if something had pierced his heart, but as his gaze was fixed on her, he noticed a smile blooming on her face while looking at someone. When he shifted his eyes to the direction of the stage, a fire ignited in his heart as he noticed that the man in the black robe was also smiling back at her.
As he glared at the man on the stage, his face twisted as he muttered,
"You chose the wrong enemy."
