The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!-Chapter 161: A Small Gain!

Su Xiaobai did not visit Liu Zhenhai to mock him.

He left the idiot to rot in his cell.

But Liu Zhenhai?

The moment he heard that Su Xiaobai had "pleaded" for him, his entire being erupted in pure rage.

"IT’S HIM! HE DID EVERYTHING!"

His roar shook the prison walls, his eyes bloodshot.

"IT’S DEFINITELY HIM!"

But the guards?

The disciples?

The elders?

They only shook their heads in disappointment.

From their perspective, Su Xiaobai was just a good-hearted martial brother pleading for his fallen senior.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhenhai was screaming like a madman.

How ungrateful.

How shameful.

And the ones who actually suspected Su Xiaobai?

Hah.

Su Xiaobai wanted them to suspect him.

If people didn’t realize who was truly pulling the strings, how would they learn to fear him?

How would they feel the deterrence once this was all over?

He was playing a risky battle.

If his plan failed?

He would lose everything.

But if he succeeded?

Then people would think twice before plotting against him ever again.

Because there would already be an example of what happened to those who dared.

Far away, beneath the moon’s quiet glow, a woman sat in silence, watching Su Xiaobai from a distance.

Zhao Mei.

She didn’t know what kind of devil’s game this man was playing.

But she knew one thing.

She would not survive it.

She had no delusions.

Her family was dead.

Her sect was gone.

She couldn’t stay in the sect.

She couldn’t run anywhere else.

So what was left?

Death.

She had already accepted it.

She expected Su Xiaobai to kill her the moment he was done using her.

But then—

She felt his eyes land on her.

His gaze roamed over her body, over her tight black outfit, the kind of clothes that strippers back in his world would wear.

The outfit was practically painted onto her skin.

And yet—

Despite her appearance, her seductive frame, her full curves…

Her mind wasn’t dirty at all.

She was a woman waiting for execution.

And yet, as Su Xiaobai watched her, his smirk deepened.

A plaything waiting for death?

Or perhaps…

Something far more entertaining?

"What... will happen to me in the future?"

Zhao Mei’s voice was uncertain, her breath shallow as she watched Su Xiaobai’s silent gaze crawl over her body.

Was he going to kill her?

No—his expression was different.

Something cruel.

Something possessive.

Was he going to defile her first?

A shiver ran down her spine. That, she might struggle against.

But Su Xiaobai ignored her completely, his lips curling into a smile.

"Do you want to know what really happened to Blazing Sun Sect?"

Zhao Mei’s breath caught.

"Huh?"

She only knew that everyone was erased overnight—that her family had vanished like dust on the wind.

But he was implying—

Did he know more?

"Zhao Feng. Do you know him?"

Zhao Mei blinked. "H-He was my great-uncle!"

Su Xiaobai nodded slowly, letting the weight of the name settle.

"Well, he offended someone called Master Qingxuan." He let out a sigh, shaking his head. "I won’t tell you the details, but he died. And Master Qingxuan was the one who eradicated Blazing Sun Sect."

Zhao Mei staggered back. "Y-You’re lying!"

"Why would I?"

Su Xiaobai’s smile never faltered, but his eyes were sharp.

"I was there when it happened. The only reason I survived was because Peak Lord Bai arrived in time to pull me out. You think you understand power? Let me tell you—Master Qingxuan is someone from the Royal Family. You can’t offend him, you can’t escape him, and if you hadn’t left with me that night, you would have been erased just like the rest."

Zhao Mei’s hands clenched into fists.

She didn’t need to ask.

She could tell—his words weren’t empty.

Even if there were lies woven between truths, the core of it was real.

Su Xiaobai watched her face carefully. Mixing truth with lies always worked.

It made people question their own doubts.

"He wanted to kill me as well," Su Xiaobai continued, his voice light, almost casual. "But Peak Lord Bai’s presence stopped him."

He let that fact sink in, watching as Zhao Mei’s mind raced through the implications.

"Now, do you want to leave?" His tone remained gentle, almost coaxing. "I can remove the slave seal right now. But if you do, you can’t stay in the sect. You’ll be hunted. You’ll have to live the rest of your life as a fugitive, running from the shadows, waiting for the blade to fall."

Then, he shrugged.

"Or..."

Zhao Mei’s lips parted slightly.

She hesitated, but her eyes were searching his.

"Would you really remove the seal?"

Su Xiaobai simply motioned for her to turn around. "Come. I’ll do it now."

Without waiting, he grabbed her by the shoulders, turning her smooth, tight back toward him.

Zhao Mei visibly shivered under his touch, her breath hitching as she felt his spiritual energy flicker along her skin.

He was really going to do it?

Was she free?

Her lips parted, about to say something—

Then her mind froze.

Wait...

Even if she was free... then what?

Wouldn’t she just end up dead like the rest?

"Wait!"

Zhao Mei suddenly pulled away, separating herself from him.

Su Xiaobai tilted his head, pretending to be confused. "What?"

She swallowed hard.

"You said ’or’… What other option is there?"

Su Xiaobai’s smile widened.

Hooked.

If he had told her himself, she would have been suspicious.

But when people think it’s their own idea…

They believe it.

"Or you follow me," Su Xiaobai said smoothly, "and when I get the opportunity to kill Master Qingxuan, I’ll let you do it."

"I won’t be in this sect forever. If you choose to stay, you have to say goodbye to your old self. We can’t take revenge the righteous way. You should already know that."

His voice lowered, tempting.

"And if I don’t deal with that bastard first, I’ll always have to watch my back."

Zhao Mei’s fingers dug into her palms.

Her lips parted slightly.

She hesitated on the surface—

But in her heart, she had already made the decision.

Su Xiaobai sealed her back into the ring world.

If she chose to leave later, he would remove the slave seal and let her go.

And once she was outside the sect?

He would silence her.

For now, there were more pressing matters.

Liu Zhenhai’s death had to be planned properly.

And after that—

Xiong Xue and Jin Ying.

Those two couldn’t be allowed to live.

They were worthless to him.

Some women could be tamed.

Some women could be trained.

But those two?

They were better off dead.

As for Lan Meiyu…

Hah.

Her true suffering hadn’t even begun yet.

She had no idea what was waiting for her once he took her away as his slave.

Once all of them disappeared at once, the conclusion would be obvious to everyone.

A desperate attempt by Liu Zhenhai to silence witnesses before his escape.

The sect would investigate, naturally.

But by the time they realized all three were gone, Liu Zhenhai himself would already be dead.

No one would be left to take the blame.

And with his execution closing the case, the matter would fade into obscurity.

The sect would move on.

No one would bother digging too deep.

Everything was set in place.

If people knew what was going on in Su Xiaobai’s mind, they would shiver.

To him, people weren’t people.

They were chess pieces.

Some to be sacrificed.

Some to be played.

But in the end, they all existed for his game.

Su Xiaobai looked up at the silver moon, his eyes narrowing.

"Forcing me, huh? Don’t regret it."

There had been a time when he had forgotten himself, when he had indulged in this new life too comfortably.

But when Bai Yujian slapped him in the face, he was reminded.

He wasn’t a favored son of fate.

He wasn’t a hero.

He was still a puppet in someone else’s grand play.

And if that was the case—

Then he might as well let them taste the consequences of their entertainment.

Of course, he knew they would retaliate.

But Su Xiaobai wanted that.

He needed to test their boundaries.

How much could he take?

How much could he push?

Where did his position truly lie in this world?

But he had no idea—

That his first test against the higher-ups would not end well for him.

That his losses would be far greater than he ever imagined.

He might win this round, might even snatch a small gain—

But the next game?

A crushing loss.
