Stealing a Kiss from the Heroine

On the ever-so-tranquil night, the night sky was like a blanket of stars, while the moon became a bright beacon in the darkness.

The vast, lonely field was illuminated by its light, the grass a deep emerald green. The air was still and silent, the only sound the occasional chirp of a few crickets.

Two figures were silhouetted against the night sky, illuminated by the dazzling moonlight, one figure standing over another figure who lay on the ground.

"Any last words Yang Kai?"

Xu Jia Qi stood above Yang Kai with her sword hovering over Yang Kai's head, waiting to strike as Xu Jia Qi stared directly into Yang Kai's beautiful star-filled eyes.

Yang Kai, who lay on the ground staring right back at Xu Jia Qi's ever-so-enchanting eyes, had a wound on his chest that sprayed blood like a quiet river dying the beautiful emerald grass around him a deep red.

A perfect thrust into his heart meant his death was imminent.

Judging from the wound and the blood loss, Yang Kai wouldn't survive with less than an incense stick.

"Haa... finally... it's finally over..." Yang Kai mumbled as a wave of relief washed over him with a dash of bitterness.

Yang Kai had a secret he had held for a long time... he was a transmigrator.

Against his will, he was transmigrated into a cultivation world.

Fortunately and unfortunately, he wasn't the main protagonist. Instead, he was made to be a villain.

Yang Kai was neither a hero nor a villain. He was an antihero, which is why it sucked to be made into a villain that was forced to follow the plot and become a tool to garner hatred from everyone.

Destined to be a tool, he hated fate with a passion for using him as a puppet. Unfortunately, he knew his fate and couldn't change it, so he was forced to accept it.

Either by fate or luck, Yang Kai got a system.

According to the system, as long as he played the villain role based on the plot and eventually died under the heroine's sword, he would be reincarnated as a protagonist in another world.

Either way, fate fucked him over in both situations. In both worlds, he would still be bound by the shackles of fate, which made him loathe fate.

Following the plot, he was destined to die today, giving him a sense of relief.

⌜To become a protagonist, one must overcome hardship and hard work⌟

'At least I can end my nightmare...' Yang Kai thought as a smile appeared on his face though he was also smiling for another kind of reason.

Xu Jia Qi's furrowed her brows as she was slightly taken aback. "Yang Kai... how are you... Why are you smiling when facing death?"

'Is he going crazy?' Xu Jia Qi thought seriously.

Hearing her, Yang Kai came back to his senses as he stared above at the stunning Xu Jia Qi.

She was wearing a breathtaking white dress with light blue trimmings, and her facial expression was cold and detached, creating an ethereal scene of a glorious goddess under the moonlight, along with her fluffy snow-white hair that fell down to her waist.

Xu Jia Qi is the other reason why he was smiling and feeling a tad bit bitter.

She was a direct disciple of the Enforcement Pavillion, along with being the number one genius of the Moon Pheonix Empire.

She started her cultivation journey at the age of eight and built and solidified her foundation at the age of ten, then entered the Earth Spirit realm at the age of 21!

Her beauty was mesmerizing as her temperament was elegant, and she was currently listed as the top beauty for countless years, along with having countless fans from all over the empire.

The perfect heroine...

Yang Kai and Xu Jia Qi were both mortal enemies who had fought openly and secretly.

By playing the villain and following the plot, all he could do was be assaulted by Xu Jia Qi from all directions.

Recalling the humiliation he suffered from her for countless years, Yang Kai should have hated her, loathed her like he did fate... but all he felt currently was bitterness.

His mortal enemy... was also his biggest crush.

Another secret he never told anyone, along with being a transmigrator.

"I'm going to die soon anyway... might as well leave her a special memory and finally get it off my chest..."

Yang Kai sighed heavily as he was having trouble breathing, he knew what he was going to do was wrong in many ways, but he had nothing to lose...

"Cough... cough... come closer..." Yang Kai said softly, just enough for her to hear him.

Xu Jia Qi hesitated slightly but moved towards him after an eternal battle in her mind.

If someone was on their deathbed, they usually had something important to say.

Even demons deserve to have their final words heard, and with Yang Kai on his last breath, she felt that there was no harm in hearing his final plea.

"Closer... I don't have enough strength to speak loudly..."

Xu Jia Qi gave a slight pout that made Yang Kai's heart flutter before she returned to her cold expression, "Alright, consider it a good deed."

Xu Jia Qi leaned in closer as she slightly tilted her head to the side as she ran her right hand through her hair fluffy white hair showing her delicate, dainty ear.

"I'm listening."

Yang Kai gave a gentle but mischievous smile as he suddenly grabbed Xu Jia Qi's wrist.

'I knew it; after all, he is from the Demon Sect, even cheating before his death!' Xu Jia Qi thought as her expression changed.

She was about to flick her wrist to throw off Yang Kai's hand.

But Yang Kai's blood surged as the blood from his wound was completely burned, creating a strange force within the air, making Xu Jia Qi unable to break away.

'He's burning his blood? After being gravely injured, he's still forcing himself to burn his own blood.' Xu Jia Qi's expression changed as a bewildered expression appeared on her face.

"Stop! we both know you are no match for me in your peak state! now you dying; even burning your blood does no harm to me!" Xu Jia Qi yelled.

Xu Jia Qi's Qi flared as she coated her sword with her Qi as it floated in the air aiming at his head, preparing to finish Yang Kai off.

The intensity of the moment was palpable as if the entire world was holding its breath.

Yang Kai slowly reached out and pulled Xu Jia Qi into his arms, and their bodies pressed together in a tight embrace.

He leaned in and kissed her delicate lips, the sensation sending a wave of warmth through their bodies, their hearts beating in unison... The kiss was gentle yet passionate as if they were the only two people in the world.

The air around them seemed to freeze as if the world itself had stopped in time.

The grass stopped swaying, the crickets stopped chirping, and the stars and moon seemed to dance in joy.

The night was filled with magical energy as if the universe were celebrating.

The kiss seemed to last an eternity.

Xu Jia Qi lay in his arms, her expression astonished, as if she was paralyzed.

It was a delicate, gentle, passionate, sensual kiss that melted Xu Jia Qi's, frozen heart.

Her brain stopped working as she lost herself in the kiss for a split second before she jumped backward, separating herself from Yang Kai.

"What are you doing?" Xu Jia Qi said in a daze, her mind slightly hazy.

'What just happened!?' Xu Jia Qi thought in her mind.

She was actually kissed by Yang Kai.

"Cough... cough..." Yang Kai suddenly let out a cough.

The effects of burning his blood started to subside, as Xu Jia Qi's face flushed red like a bright tomato as she stared at Yang Kai, who had blood flowing out the corner of his mouth but was still able to have a sensual smile on his face that made the world brighter.

Yang Kai was familiar with the plot and knew Xu Jia Qi extremely well.

This extraordinary goddess was obsessed with cleanliness and hated men, and had never had contact with the opposite sex since childhood.

For Yang Kai, this kiss had two meanings a lasting memory that will appear in her mind making her never forget him, and for him to finally confess his feelings.

Although just not in the way he wanted, even he was a bit disappointed in himself.

Of course, he knew she would feel disgusted as she absolutely hated men, but he ignored that part.

"So long... Xu'er," Yang Kai mumbled as he closed his eyes in satisfaction.

"..."

Xu Jia Qi stood there, her eyes wide and her mouth slightly agape as if she was in a trance. Her cheeks were flushed a deep pink, and her hand trembled as the sword that had been hovering in the air suddenly dropped to the floor with a loud clang.

"Thud~"

The low sound of the sword hitting the ground seemed to break the spell, and Xu Jia Qi's eyes slowly refocused.

"You..you.. you per... you pervert! I'll kill you!"

She was so embarrassed that she picked up her sword but stopped as she was about to raise her hand.

Xu Jia Qi saw Yang Kai's eyes close gently, his breath stopped, and his face was pale.

'He's still smiling...'

Looking at the man who smiled until his death, Xu Jia Qi's eyes flashed with confusion.

Obviously, he died under her sword, yet Yang Kai had no trace of hatred, anger, or regret against her.

Instead, his face held a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

"Why...? He was close to death already, and he burned his blood just to... kiss me...?" Xu Jia Qi mumbled in astonishment.

Xu Jia Qi stood in the middle of the field, her eyes wide with wonder.

She felt as if she was standing in a dream, the night sky's beauty and the field's peacefulness overwhelming her.

She felt a weird sensation in her heart, a warmth that she had never felt before. She looked around, taking in the beauty of the night as the stars twinkled in the sky while the moonlight reflected off the grass.

She felt a sense of peace and tranquility as if the world was at peace.

Xu Jia Qi slowly touched her face as she felt hot, but instead of filling with disgust, an incomprehensible feeling rose from within her heart.

"No... no... no, I must... I must ask him clearly. Otherwise, my heart will never feel at ease!" She declared before she took a golden leaf out of thin air, causing the Qi in the air to become dense and vibrant with vitality.

She placed the golden leaf between Yang Kai's brows; the leaf started to crumble as the crumbles started to spin in a circle, and a golden hue started glowing brighter and brighter until all that was left was a bright golden ball.

The ball hovered in the air for a second before it entered Yang Kai's body between his brows.

Within a couple of seconds, to Xu Jia Qi's astonishment, Yang Kai's pale cheeks started to regain their ravishing pinkish hue.

Regaining the little amount of calmness she had, Xu Jia Qi flew a light blue ribbon from her sleeve robe, and as it started wrapping Yang Kai's body firmly, after securing Yang Kai, she threw her sword in the air and stepped on it gently.

"Want to die? I will not make it easy... wait until I've asked you everything I want to know clearly, then I'll kill you again with my own hands!"

Xu Jia Qi flew into the air with a mummified Yang Kai following behind her.
