The Undercover Villain Transmigrates, The Female Protagonists Are Worried

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Tianjiao bid farewell to the Xiao family mother and son with satisfaction, carrying a hefty sum of one hundred thousand villain points.

"Ah, can't go back home..."

After some thought, Qin Tianjiao decided not to return home, as he would inevitably face a beating tonight if he did.

Gu Luoyi and the Empress at Jade Lake Sacred Land were like enemies, but now, because of Qin Tianjiao, their conflict had escalated into intense rivalry...

"I should go find godmother instead, and return home early tomorrow to wash away the taste..."

With a leap, Qin Tianjiao covered hundreds of meters in an instant. It was already curfew, and the entire Cloud State City was guarded. However, seeing Qin Tianjiao was like not seeing him at all...

Anyone who saw him would shout in surprise, and the grass on the graves would be knee-high...

He made his way to the palace and finally encountered the guards who dared to question Qin Tianjiao from a distance. Qin Tianjiao shouted, "I'm going to find my godmother to sleep!"

The leader of the guards did not look askance, but nodded slightly in acknowledgment...

In the entire Great Xia, no one dared to speak such disrespectful words except him, so his true identity was directly verified!

Qin Tianjiao arrived at the Empress's sleeping quarters with a smile. Before reaching the door, he met Murong Wan'er coming out from inside.

Murong Wan'er silently mouthed, "The Empress is angry, be careful..."

"Angry again? It's not her time of the month today, right? What's got her so worked up?" Qin Tianjiao was puzzled.

Nevertheless, since he was already there, torn between making the Empress happy and facing a scolding at home, he decisively opened the door and stepped inside.

The Empress was leaning on a couch reading a book, dressed in a black long dress embroidered with golden dragon patterns, wearing black silk stockings designed by Lu Ming with golden dragon patterns, exuding a domineering aura.

However, she hadn't turned a page in the book for quite some time, whether it was because the book was too captivating or the pages were too heavy...

Qin Tianjiao didn't bother with the usual greeting of "Good son, come let godmother hug you."

"Godmother, reading?" Qin Tianjiao poured a cup of tea and gulped it down. The roast chicken he bought today was too salty!

"Hmph! Where were you?" The Empress flipped through the book, her voice flat.

"I went to a friend's house." Qin Tianjiao put down the cup naturally.

"How come I didn't know you had a widow friend?" The Empress glanced at Qin Tianjiao and said in a leisurely tone.

"Oh no... I forgot to shake off the tail..." Qin Tianjiao would never say something foolish like "You were following me..."

"Ah, they are a pitiful pair. I was actually going to tell you about this today. The world is getting worse, and people's hearts are not as kind as before! Godmother, under your wise leadership, there are still people daring to seize others' property! Bullying their own sister-in-law and nephew. As your good son, the founding marquis of Great Xia, I cannot turn a blind eye!" Qin Tianjiao, with a sorrowful expression despite his young age, amused the Empress.

"Hehe..."

The Empress chuckled, lightening the tense atmosphere in the room. Qin Tianjiao was as skilled at coaxing as his cultivation talent. He sat next to the Empress and started massaging her shoulders.

"With your status, it would be easy to help them reclaim their property. But that might not be a good thing for them. It's better to help them a little and let them handle the rest. Whether they can reclaim their property depends on their abilities." Qin Tianjiao explained.

"Well... you pass this time. In the future, don't associate with dubious people. You're still young. People's hearts are unpredictable, you know?" The Empress warned.

"Godmother, as an Innate Dao Fetus, I can sense whether someone has ill intentions towards me. I can feel it." Qin Tianjiao bluffed, shifting the blame to being an Innate Dao Fetus, something they couldn't verify.

"I haven't settled scores with you yet, and you're backtalking?" The Empress warned.

"I won't backtalk anymore, is that not enough? Godmother, I'm tired."

The Empress put down her book, tidied up, and extinguished the light.

The next morning, Qin Tianjiao sneaked back home like a thief.

"I need to hurry and shower, or I'll have to explain myself to Mother again..."

But as he pushed open his room door, he saw his mother sitting on his bed, holding a stick and looking at him coldly.

Qin Tianjiao's head was stuck in the door crack, unable to enter or retreat.

"What's wrong? Scared to come in? Where were you sneaking around last night? Qin Tianjiao! You're only eight years old! What will become of you when you grow up?"

When Gu Luoyi called him by his full name, it meant his mother was truly angry, and the consequences were severe!

*Creak...*

Qin Tianjiao pushed the door open, closed it behind him, as what was about to happen must not be seen by others!

Qin Tianjiao resolutely walked towards the bed, brave and fearless!

He lay on the bed, raised his buttocks, and said, "Mother, go ahead... I can't even frown if I want to be a hero!"

But after waiting for a while, the stick didn't come down. Instead, Gu Luoyi's crying could be heard.

This made Qin Tianjiao panic, and he quickly turned around, saying, "Mother, don't cry. I know I was wrong. I'll be honest at home from now on and focus on cultivation, not wandering around."

Gu Luoyi's tears flowed like a river, and no matter how Qin Tianjiao tried to console her, it was in vain.

After a long while, Gu Luoyi said, "Your master sent a letter. She'll come to take you up the mountain in a few days. You won't see me for the next few years. You, you always... always make me worry..."

"Up the mountain? Didn't we agree to wait until I'm twelve? Why so early?" Qin Tianjiao asked.

"I asked your master to take you up the mountain early. You haven't been studying well, always running around, learning who knows what from that woman! Waiting until you're twelve will be too late!" Gu Luoyi scolded.

"But... I can't bear to leave you, Mother. I don't want to go. I'm still a child who hasn't been weaned!" Qin Tianjiao pleaded.

"Go~ I've spoiled you too much, letting you be so unruly. Don't think I don't know what you've been up to every day! How old are you? Peeping at someone bathing, I can overlook that as mischief, but what about that widow? How old are you?" Gu Luoyi accused.

"Mother, you've misunderstood me! I've already talked to godmother about this. If you don't believe me, go ask her! I can go up the mountain to learn, but you can't accuse me falsely! I, Qin Tianjiao, am upright and innocent!" Qin Tianjiao lay on his bed, turned away from Gu Luoyi, looking angry.

This made Gu Luoyi doubt herself. Could she have wrongly accused him? But her intuition told her she was right!

The mother and son remained silent, as if the first one to speak would admit defeat.

Just as Qin Tianjiao was about to speak, Gu Luoyi sighed softly.

"I owe you from a past life! Fine, I misunderstood you, alright? You're quite the little rascal."

Qin Tianjiao turned around and said, "I was also wrong. I should have told Mother to prevent her from worrying."

"Well, that's my good boy. In the future, you mustn't hide anything from me. I will trust you unconditionally and support you. Now, go to sleep." Gu Luoyi took off her shoes, lay down next to Qin Tianjiao, and gently patted his back.

"Mother, can I not go? I don't want to leave you..."

Gu Luoyi's hand paused for a moment, then continued to pat gently. After a while, she said, "You will eventually have to leave. Learn quickly and come back, then you can stay by my side forever. Otherwise, people will say you're incompetent."

"I'll stay by your side forever. If anyone says I'm incompetent, I'll beat them up! I'll beat them until they say I'm competent!"

"Hehe, good son. Study well. When you can defeat your master, I'll be with you every day, soothing you to sleep."

"Mother, you're cunning... But I will definitely defeat my master..."

Under his mother's gentle touch and the familiar scent, Qin Tianjiao slowly fell asleep, muttering about defeating his master in his dreams...
