Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

As the group finished discussing their nefarious plan, they turned their attention to other matters.

Xie Zhiwei spoke up first, "Our Dao of Alchemy Society's branches have been under attack by the Eastern Mountain Bandits. They've been causing havoc and disrupting our operations. We must find a way to protect our members and assets."

Luo Ying nodded in agreement, "My father has been discussing forming an alliance with The Steel Talon Mercenaries. They have a strong presence in the region and can provide us with much-needed support."

Liu Yu added, "My guild has been hosting a series of talisman tournaments, and we've been gaining a lot of attention and new members. It's been a great way to showcase our skills and attract like-minded individuals."

Tang Xiaohui leaned back in his chair, "I've been working on hosting a grand gathering of Silk Road traders to discuss new routes and opportunities. It's a great way to network and make important connections."

Li Wei smirked, "As for me, The Lotus Assassins have been making significant gains in the northern regions. We've secured several new strongholds and expanded our influence. The other factions will soon learn to fear us."

As the group was discussing their matters, Li Wei looked at Wang Jian with a lecherous gaze and asked, "Wang Jian, my dear friend, how were the women in the forbidden region? Did they satisfy your every desire?"

Xie Zhiwei chimed in, "I heard they have exquisite beauty and rare skills. You must share some of them with us, Wang Jian. We wouldn't want to miss out on such a delightful experience."

Luo Yin, with a wicked grin on his face, added, "Yes, I'm sure they have many talents to show us. Why keep them all to yourself, my friend?"

Wang Jian, feeling disgusted by their behavior, responded coldly, "Are you really eyeing my women?"

The temperature of the room seemed to have dropped abruptly.

The room fell silent, as the other men looked at each other nervously. They knew they had crossed a line, and they were terrified of how Wang Jian might react.

Xie Zhiwei was the first to speak up, his voice trembling with fear. "Wang Jian, we didn't mean anything by it. We were just joking around."

Tang Xiaohui chimed in, trying to diffuse the tension. "Yes, we were just messing with you. You know how we like to have fun."

Liu Yu nodded in agreement, his eyes darting around the room. "We didn't mean to offend you, Wang Jian. Please forgive us."

Li Wei, who had been quiet until now, spoke up tentatively. "We were out of line, Wang Jian. Please don't be angry with us."

His friends breathed a collective sigh of relief and quickly agreed, eager to make amends for their inappropriate behavior.

"Of course, Wang Jian. We understand that we have overstepped our boundaries and we're sorry," said Tang Xiaohui, his voice filled with contrition.

Liu Yu nodded in agreement, "We will do whatever it takes to make it up to you. Just name your favor."

Li Wei chimed in, "Consider it done, Wang Jian. We owe you that much."

Luo Yin spoke up, "Of course, we owe you a great debt. Anything you need, just name it and we will do our best to assist you."

Xie Zhiwei nodded in agreement, "Yes, our friendship runs deep, and we will always support each other. Consider it done, Wang Jian."

Wang Jian looked around the room, satisfied with their responses. "Good. I'll let you know when I need your help."

As the discussion with his friends came to an end, Wang Jian felt a sense of relief as he watched them leave the hall.

'Well, that was quite the meeting,' he thought to himself.

As he made his way out of the hall, he decided to pay a visit to Su Xian's courtyard. He had heard that she was conducting sparring sessions between her disciples, and he was curious to see their progress.

As he approached the courtyard, he saw that Su Xian was indeed overseeing the sparring sessions. He watched in awe as the disciples showcased their martial prowess, their movements fluid and graceful.

Upon seeing Wang Jian, these women immediately bowed respectfully. It was only after reaching the palace did they realize the true identity of their master.

Wang Jian accepted their greetings while gesturing for them to stand up. He spoke solemnly, "It has been a whole week since you have been here. I am sure you have realized that the Qi in the surroundings is much denser compared to the Zhenguan Region. You will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Make sure to train earnestly and serve me, and you can enjoy a happy life," Wang Jian spoke confidently.

All the women were excited to hear these words. They understood that if they continued their training earnestly, they could work for Wang Jian while staying in the Royal Palace.

This was a heaven-sent opportunity, and they were planning to take complete advantage of it.

Su Xian then ordered her disciples, "Continue with your training." She then turned towards Wang Jian and approached him.

"Am I doing well?" she asked, a hint of shyness in her voice.

"You're doing wonderfully," Wang Jian replied with a loving pat on her head. "And how is your spirit training coming along?"

Su Xian beamed with pride. "I spar with Shuying, Huian, and Xifeng every day. My spirit is definitely the strongest!"

Wang Jian chuckled. "That's fantastic to hear. Keep up the good work, my love."

After spending some time talking with Wang Jian, Su Xian returned and oversaw her disciples' training.

Wang Jian stood up and proceeded to leave. He was only here to observe the training and make sure everything was going smoothly.

After a few minutes, he took his leave and walked towards Fen Shuying's chambers. However, as he reached her courtyard, he saw that she was in the middle of her Spirit training.

Realizing he couldn't disturb her, he turned around and walked towards Lady Xia's chambers.

As Wang Jian entered Lady Xia's chambers, he looked at her with a wicked smile on his face. Lady Xia knew exactly what he wanted, despite her dislike for the man.

But even as she tried to push the thought of him out of her mind, her body betrayed her, and she felt a familiar heat spread throughout her body.

Wang Jian's gaze never left Lady Xia's ample curves, and she could feel his hunger as he approached her.

The way he looked at her made her feel like nothing more than an object for his pleasure.

But even as she struggled with these feelings of disgust and arousal, her body craved his touch.

The night was filled with passion as Wang Jian took her again and again, each time with increasing force and intensity.

Lady Xia moaned and cried out as he explored every inch of her body, leaving her spent and breathless.

Despite her hatred for him, Lady Xia couldn't deny the pleasure that Wang Jian brought her.

It was a feeling she couldn't resist, and as he finally left her chambers in the early hours of the morning, she knew that she would be unable to resist him in the future.
