Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess - Chapter 453

Since they left, the entire region fell in the hands of the fae race.

Several hours later, Wang Yu Yan looked on from a high northern mountain, watching her former home became the fae’s. The vehicle shielded her from the cold and the violent gust of wind.

She felt bitter, but she was not resentful. This was already a much better outcome than several million humans dying for a lost cause.

She knew Jiang Li traded the territory for the time her race much-needed.

The man resting at the backseat spoke.

“This is part of the agreement.”

Wang Yu Yan pursed her lips then bowed her head, “I see.”

He elaborated, “They let your race escapes to the outer space, I let them have the vacated cities. I can’t destroy the blockade to flood them.”

‘So he is not really human,’ she confirmed mentally, noting in her mind how he addressed himself as someone not of her race.

“In a few days, this planet will most likely become completely inhabitable. In other words, you’d definitely die.”

When he spoke again, his tone carried annoyance. “Do you know how troublesome it will be for me by then?”

“I didn’t know.” Wang Yu Yan passed a disposable cup to him that contained boiled ration.

She shook her head, eyes back to the city below. “Sir, I apologize for what I and my superior did earlier. About not leaving in a space vessel, it’s simply because I’ve already resolved myself to die fighting…. Now that I’m still alive, I think this is fine too. My days are extended. I managed to gain some time for myself where I won’t have to think about my rank and obligations.”

“I said if you die later, it will be troublesome for me,” he repeated with the same tone. “You’re intelligent so if you really feel apologetic, you should have gone with your President and uncle to space.”

His expression made her amused. Before she knew it was already giggling.

However, she did not ask the reason why he was very concerned about her safety. She already did it before and no response came back to her.

…

Days passed and like Jiang Li predicted, or more like, read from the plot, the Earth collided with a huge planet that only showed itself a few seconds before impact. This was Paradise, a planet that made the fae race abandoned the prosperous world they had been inhabiting for millions of years. This was the planet that made them fly millions of light-years without regard to the large resources consumed, just to return to Earth.

Before the crash, Jiang Li did not even need to collapse the ice walls for mega-tsunamis to occur. The gravitational pull of the oncoming planet caused the tides to rise.

Destruction followed as volcanoes erupted. Magma flowed on the surface. The places untouched by the flood yet but close to the point of collision instantly vaporized. All sorts of calamities happened one after another.

No more descriptions were needed. The world was simply ending.

Yet in that very situation, the fae race members were laughing, looking so happy and proud.

“Is this still the always elegant and arrogant faes?” Wang Yu Yan commented after batting her eyelashes once. The disbelief she felt from the sight rendered her sighing.

Jiang Li was with her. He who initially stayed to destroy the ice walls at this very moment got confronted by the fact that gravitational pull could do the job better and faster. He felt embarrassed, thinking he did not learn science well. Thankfully, he was not one to reveal his plans to the woman. When the end of the world came, they were already aboard a space shuttle stolen from a fae city. This was the true reason Wang Yu Yan was not as bothered when the last starship of humanity left earth. The fae race also had space shuttles.

“They have always been lunatics.” Jiang Li suddenly snorted. “If not, they won’t choose to return to a barren land.”

The girl found his description apt and nodded. “I found it ironic since they always labeled themselves superior in both powers and intellect.”

A couple of moments later, she murmured softly, “How could they laugh when so many faes and dinosaurs are dying just so they could go to the center of the collision?”

Hearing her, he chuckled and said, “This is probably just one of the many differences between faes and humans. They are happy because the collision fulfilled the prophecies and opened a secret gate to the mystical land dreamed by their ancestors. They have a few minutes to cross that gate. These lunatics… All they did for the past four or five centuries are only for this very moment.”

“Four or five?”

“Yes. You should not forget the time they take to travel. They have crossed numerous wormholes and galaxies. In my estimation, this had taken them two or more centuries. Maybe even a millennium.”

Wang Yu Yan exclaimed. “I see. So this race is not only harsh to their enemies and inferiors, but also to themselves.”

While the two were having a casual conversation in their space shuttle, human spacesh.i.p.s had yet to travel past Mars. Everyone who was still feeling sullen and unwilling to leave their home planet became gob smocked as they witnessed the collision.

No one would be able to describe the pain they felt as they watched Earth get destroyed. The relief they felt for surviving was not as strong as their anger and their desire for all the fae race members to die in that incident.

Shi Nianzhu, advised by his strategists, ordered the various battlesh.i.p.s to attack using nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, they were a bit late in doing so. The Paradise lived up to its reputation and managed to remain undamaged both from the collision and the firing of missiles and high energy beams.

The shuttle made by the fae were superior in specs so Jiang Li and Wang Yu Yan could see farther than the ones in the human starsh.i.p.s.

Although there were a lot of casualties, the fae race still successfully crossed over.

A corner of Jiang Li’s lips curled up, having recalled that the male lead would revert to his original appearance in a few hours. The condition would be to pass some real virus to his fellow faes.

Dong Lan and his stepmother only wanted to delay him from going back to his place of origin. Yet they actually had no idea how system points worked, that even tens of it could extend a mortal’s life in a normal modern world. That if he was willing to spend them, thousands could instantly help a mid-tiered magician become a god. In his first mission world, the system gave him some items that helped him there which long revealed to him that it could magic items out of nowhere.

‘Sadly, I would not be able to witness those faes turn into humans.’

Jiang Li stuck to his words and did not stay long in that ‘world’.

Opposite him was Dong Lan who was still tied to his position as Pontiff. Thinking he had already done his job regarding Jiang Li, and that his race that just arrived in a new world still needed his leadership, this person decided to remain.

However, he had no idea that he did not really manage to complete his mission.

Jiang Li would still have enough points once he went back to the void, and this was despite not being able to fulfill his soul-client’s wish. He also was not tied to any responsibility. His last task was merely to ensure Wang Yu Yan’s safety which he did by delivering her to the nearest human-owned starship.

About the woman whom he always wanted to be with every time he transmigrates… Actually, Jiang Li already saw her before. It was on the day of the execution. In fact, ‘she’ was his other reason for not going after the fleeing Pontiff and Supreme General who had come to rescue the female lead.

“A pity.” The first time he met ‘her’ in this world, Jiang Li clicked his tongue so hard and resentfully sighed.

‘Her’ identity this time was really surprising.

‘She’ who was brought to the spectator’s area by her mother was very young, merely a 5 or 6 years old girl. Probably, the mother badly wanted to see some fae elites executed. Since she had some circ.u.mstances where she could not leave her child at home, she simply brought her with her. To not let her see some blood, the mother put her to sleep. Her sleeping appearance was the one he saw and recognized.

“If she is only at least five years older, I would have waited for her.” Having taken a glimpse of her for the last time in the spaceship, he mused to himself.

Discontentment showed in his face, but shortly, it vanished. He laughed.

“It’s quite sad, but it’s not like this will be our last meeting.” His voice trailed off, the transfer already began.

Everyone else apart from soldiers, technicians, and ship crew were put to sleep in cabins. The little girl was no exception.

However, at that moment, her eyes slowly fluttered open. On her small, pretty face crossed confusion when she felt a presence on her right side. The confusing part was when she turned her head a bit and only found a few specks of light were there, drifting down gently and slowly.

Yet she was sure that somebody stood there a while ago as she had heard his soft voice clearly, saying something confusing to her. “Please forgive me for going first.”
