This is Not How You Use a Villainess Sir

Chapter 40: The Adult, the Bad Woman is Not Used This Way

“Yes, on the surface.”

“Executioner lady, what will you do?”

Chu Yan was uneasy due to the other’s silence, and he asked tentatively.

He lay on his back, looking at the woman, only revealing the lower half of his pale face, with a complexion that was like a canvas for thought, a refined nose, and lips that were smooth and glossy like fruit jelly.

From the high-heeled boots, the black silk legs stretched out, with a healthy and smooth skin tone visible at the thigh, and a subtle arc curve of overdeveloped beauty could be seen.

“I won’t do anything. This isn’t part of the assessment. It’s a conflict between you, and I’m not obligated to inform the deceased’s family.

But my identity won’t provide you with assistance. You might have to bear the consequences of this matter on your own.”

“That’s enough!” Chu Yan gratefully got up, dusted off his robe, and sat down again, much straighter than before.

The executioner noticed something; Chu Yan, aware that he was about to face the endless vengeance of two powerful dragonkin, did not panic.

There was apprehension, but it was the kind that came with preparation, not resignation.

Thinking of his unique achievements at the Dead Sea border, the woman couldn’t help but be curious.

“Chu Yan, what do you plan to do?”

“After returning to Dragonflame City, I will apply to become the permanent lord of the Dead Sea border. I will face the Black Ice Dragonkin’s revenge head-on.”

A permanent stay at the Dead Sea?

Indeed, a wise choice. With the Taboo’s trust in him, Chu Yan had the power to counter the revenge.

And before, she had been conflicted. Chu Yan had managed the Elysium City to the point where it couldn’t function without him.

From the most dangerous fallen ones to the ordinary citizens, all trusted Chu Yan.

A new lord could not interfere with its operations anymore.

But now, Chu Yan was applying to stay in such a harsh region permanently, not only maintaining the operation of Elysium City but also facing external pressures head-on.

Not a single move was superfluous; was this also part of his premeditation?

In the past, he was thought to be a self-indulgent person, afraid to compete with his dragonkin peers, but in reality, he had no interest in competing, right?

“I can approve your permanent stay at the Dead Sea border in advance.”

The executioner’s fingertips conjured a lord’s reassignment application, casually signing her identity as the endorsement.

Chu Yan received the reassignment letter bearing the Dragonflame family crest, surprised by how smoothly it went.

“Then, Executioner Sister, may I ask if you can turn the carriage around and send me back to the Dead Sea border now?”

He didn’t even want to set foot in Dragonflame City!

The executioner was almost too slow to react to his sudden change of demeanor. Just moments ago, he was lifeless, without a spark of vitality, and now he was excited.

“Unfortunately, no, you still need to get the clan leader’s signature.”

Is this a lord’s reassignment letter or a leave request? After finding the class teacher, one still has to find the counselor.

…

Returning to Dragonflame City, Chu Yan stepped down from the executioner’s carriage.

“Madam Executioner, thank you for the ride. I’ll head back to the castle now.”

He waved goodbye politely, but what he received was the woman’s disregard.

She seemed not to have heard Chu Yan’s farewell, leaning back in her seat, her chin not even turning a fraction in his direction.

The change in attitude was so abrupt, he couldn’t immediately grasp the woman’s change of face.

Is this what they call “an acquaintance in public, a friend in private”?

A man and a woman approached; they were relatives of Chu Yan from the Longyan family.

The man, named Barney, was of a similar age but ranked as an uncle. His lineage didn’t quite get along with Chu Yan’s guardian.

The woman, Juliet, was quite attractive, hailing from a minor family within the Red Demon Dragon lineage (with the Longyan family being a major family, akin to the patriarch of this group).

In her youth, she was one of Chu Yan’s playmates, once very enthusiastic.

It was later revealed that Juliet’s warmth was nothing but flattery and fawning, a performance to get closer to the Longyan family.

After she successfully entered the Holy Nursery with Barney, tasted the Red Demon Dragon Staff, and announced her ascension (even though no child was produced), Juliet’s attitude changed.

“Chu Yan, to ride with the Executioner Lady is already a great honor. Do you also expect her to bid you farewell with affection? That would undermine her untouchable dignity!”

Juliet, holding her husband Barney’s hand, wondered where Chu Yan had disappeared to these past few months, yet feared her husband’s misunderstanding, her expression towards Chu Yan was a sight of pitiable sighs.

“Chu Yan, I remember you went to participate in the family trial, set at the Dead Sea border, right? Have you given up midway and asked the Executioner to bring you back, or could you not even pass the minimum standard?”

Given the seniority, Barney’s attitude was quite normal.

Chu Yan held his forehead, truly feeling unlucky and disheartened.

“If it weren’t for you two spoiling the mood here, perhaps the Executioner Lady might have given me a hug. Want to know the results of my trial? Why not check the leaderboard yourself?”

In Longyan City, there’s a genealogical stele, recording the adulthood of the Red Demon Dragon lineage, the trials they participated in, and the evaluations they received.

It’s merely a stele marking the coming of age for the dragon descendants, but the youth like to compare trivial things, even vying for the most ‘valuable’ in their watered-down adulthood trials.

Seeing that Chu Yan was unfazed by the sarcasm, like punching cotton, Barney couldn’t help but get angry.

“Juliet, let’s call a few more people and go check the genealogical stele together. It’s rare to see records of failed trials!”

Even a salted fish has its spines, Chu Yan thought of retorting or giving Juliet a powerful punch.

Striking a Longyan dragon descendant could cause trouble, but hitting a daughter-in-law who married in was no issue.

From noble mtl dot nete

But remembering his own numerous past misdeeds, the provocations of these two became dangerous, and carelessness could easily lead to exposure.

Don’t let me find out you have plans to travel to the Dead Sea border, or I’ll take care of you.

Chu Yan returned to his room, frustrated, pondering if he could have a projected conversation with his guardian during his free time.

Chapter 40: Meeting the Guardian through Projection

“Ah? Is this real or fake?”

“Did he really achieve the same evaluation as us at the Dead Sea border?”

Barney and Juliet were incredible.

They remembered Chu Yan’s departure was very sudden, heading alone to the Dead Sea border. Could he have actually completed the trial?

They wouldn’t suspect the Executioner Lady of falsifying records. To her, the process was secondary; the outcome was what mattered most.

If the Dead Sea border was a mess, she would give a zero without hesitation, as there had been precedents before.

The young scion of the dragon lineage felt there was no need for such formalities; after all, they relied on their family’s influence. Why not have the executioner just assign a score? And so, the dragon descendant received a beating, a proud owner of zero points.

This score wouldn’t affect his standing among his kin, but it would be a prominent stain on the pillar of shame.

The people around heard Barnie’s discussion and joined in, asking what had happened.

“Did Chu Yan complete the family trial? I had no idea, it feels like it’s been months since we last met.”

“We thought he’d been asleep for months… Was this a trial from the Dead Sea Frontier? How did he manage that!”

Those who could speak up here all had their own backgrounds, and now their hearts were unbalanced.

Despite everyone receiving an “excellent” evaluation, your test was exceptionally difficult, while ours were ordinary, doesn’t that make us look bad?

“Could it be he secretly called for a maid?” someone speculated.

In the Dragonflame family, many maids possess formidable combat skills, fit to serve as guards. There was no issue for Chu Yan to command a maid, his status warranted it.

“But the Dead Sea Frontier isn’t a place where you can just call a couple of maids to handle things, right? You’d need a whole guard squad just to take down a demon.”

They were puzzled, with mysteries all around, but this was a result approved by the executioner, and any doubts could only be muttered in private.

At that moment, a yawning woman approached, her figure voluptuous and attractive, yet exuding a lazy aura.

She overheard the crowd and paused.

“Oh no, Velin asked me to keep an eye on him, and I only found out after his family trial was over… How did he end up at the Dead Sea Frontier?”

…

The executioner returned to his office and slumped into his chair.

Seeing this, Niaobu asked curiously:

“My lord, what’s wrong? You rested all the way in the carriage, why do you seem even more tired after getting off?”

Sosia wanted to share her current mood with her subordinate.

It was that feeling of helplessness and resignation when “children are too quiet, they’re probably up to no good.” Chu Yan may look obedient, but the things he does are truly ruthless!

And she only found out after it was all done, and the key point was, she couldn’t tell anyone else.

In fact, Sosia had a feeling that the boy was definitely hiding something.

Perhaps with just a little probing, Chu Yan would reactively spill everything, but she decided against it…

It would disturb her inner peace too much, such troublesome matters should be left for his guardians to worry about.

“It’s nothing, just a lot of thoughts after returning from the Dead Sea Frontier. You may leave now, I need some quiet time to meditate.”

“Understood.”

Niaobu left for the time being, standing by in the administrative hall outside.

Sosia then took out a magic stone, attempting to contact the woman from the Black Ice Dragon lineage.

During this “dialing and waiting for a response” process, the executioner held her ample bosom, anticipating the reaction of the Black Ice Dragon lineage woman in her mind.
