I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree-Chapter 23 - Sandstorm Subsides and Family Crisis (5/9)

It wasn’t until half a day later, when it was already dark, that Laina slowly woke up.

She felt like she had a very long dream. She had her wish fulfilled, traveling with big brother Edward, and then she had her wish fulfilled, seeing the temple of Limusa from the book.

She even explored the underground maze beneath Limusa’s temple and discovered Limusa’s tomb.

Unfortunately, in the end, the outcome of the story didn’t seem good...

When she opened her eyes again, what came into view was a starry sky, and that familiar head of black hair.

“Ugh... Was I just dreaming?”

Laina said this, looking at Orson beside her.

“You’re awake?” Orson also turned his head to look at Laina. frёewebnoѵēl.com

“Ugh, big brother Edward, I feel like I had a very long dream...”

“You weren’t dreaming,” Orson said this, stroking Laina’s little head, “Thanks to you, Laina, we defeated the bad guys in the end.”

“Eh? But, but I remember I wasn’t...”

“Yes, Laina, you were knocked unconscious. I was so worried,” Orson said this, concealing the fact that Laina had died and been resurrected, and also hiding his pact with Limusa.

“Is that so? That scared me. I thought I had died,”

“Don’t talk nonsense. You little fox have a strong life,” Orson said this, squeezing Laina’s fox ear.

“Ugh! Don’t squeeze my ear!” Laina said this, swatting away Orson’s hand. “Not even big brother can do that. Our demi-humans’ ears and tails are very important things...”

They could only be touched by family and closest loved ones.

Thinking this, Laina couldn’t help but blush.

“Alright, alright,” Orson nodded. “However, Laina, do you feel like your body has changed a little after waking up?”

After all, the Heart of All Beasts was something divine. Although resurrection was already a very powerful function, Orson also wanted to see if Laina’s body had changed, and if she had become stronger from absorbing the Heart of All Beasts.

“Change?” Laina heard this and tilted her head.

Feeling a slight swelling sensation in her chest, her face turned red.

“Big brother, you’re a pervert!” Saying this, she punched Orson.

Then, Orson was sent flying several meters away.

This action immediately panicked Laina.

“Big brother! Are you alright!” Saying this, she immediately rushed towards Orson.

“I... I’m alright,” Orson said this, barely standing up.

It was just a few broken ribs. It was nothing much.

However, as Orson had expected, Laina’s physical fitness had reached an extremely strong level.

Pure physical strength, without any technique, was already enough to send Orson, who was at the peak of Tier 7, flying like this. If she trained, Laina’s physical strength would likely hold a place among the top on the continent in the future.

Perhaps this was also because the effect of the Heart of All Beasts had been partially used to heal Laina’s body. Otherwise, Laina would only be stronger.

Thinking this, if the Heart of All Beasts had fallen into the hands of that beastman Shaman, he would likely have indeed become a top expert on the continent.

At that time, the relationship between humans and beastmen would likely be reversed.

“Um, big brother, I didn’t mean to. I... I don’t know why...”

“It’s alright. Isn’t this a good thing?” Orson smiled. “At least, you won’t have to worry about being bullied by bad guys in the future, Laina.”

“Perhaps big brother will even need you to protect him in the future.”

Saying this, Orson stood up.

“Laina, look. The sandstorm outside has disappeared,” Saying this, Orson pointed to the area outside the temple.

Before, when Orson and Laina came in, the sandstorm here had never stopped.

“Hey, it seems so,” Laina heard this and looked at Orson. “Big brother, what happened? Didn’t they say the sandstorm outside surrounds the temple all year round?”

“That’s all thanks to you, Laina,” Orson said this, summoning his magic carpet.

Without the obstruction of the sandstorm, the magic carpet could function normally.

“Thanks to me?”

“Mm,” Orson said, sitting on the magic carpet, at the same time patted the carpet, gesturing for Laina to sit up.

Second time’s the charm, Laina sat on the magic carpet, wrapping her arms around Orson’s waist.

Although there hadn’t been any problems when she stepped on the magic carpet before, Laina was still afraid of falling.

Fear of heights seemed to be the nature of animals besides birds. Anyone who had never flown and had never been to a high place would feel scared when suddenly hundreds of meters above the ground.

Of course, for people like Orson who had flown for a long time, this feeling would gradually dissipate.

“By the way, speaking of which, Laina, I lied to you,” Orson suddenly said to Laina behind him while flying in the sky.

“Huh? What did big brother lie about?”

“My real name is not Edward. My name is Orson. I’m not a regular traveler either. I have a lot of power among humans.”

Saying this, Orson smiled.

“Eh?! Big brother, you are actually lying!” Laina extended her fist and punched Orson on the shoulder. Orson was hit so hard that he even stopped operating the magic carpet.

“Whoa ah ah ah ah ah ah!” Feeling the sense of weightlessness from falling, Laina couldn’t help but scream.

The two plummeted straight towards the ground. It wasn’t until they were about a dozen meters from the ground that Orson barely managed to regain control of the magic carpet and pull up.

“Phew, I managed to regain control in time,” Orson said this, patting his chest.

“Um... I, I’m sorry, big brother. I didn’t mean to.”

“I know you didn’t mean it,” Orson sighed. It seemed he would have to specifically train Laina in the future to help her learn to control her strength. Otherwise, accidentally hurting people would be problematic.

Then, Orson said, “Anyway, Laina, I can either send you back to your tribe now, or I can take you to see the human territories. How do you choose?”

“Ugh, can I... go back and see everyone in the tribe first, and then go and look around the human territories with big brother?”

“Yes,” Orson nodded.

“By the way, Laina, regarding the fact that I lied to you, I’ve already thought about how to compensate you.”

“Hmm? Big brother has already thought about it?”

“Mm. I’m going to make sure that demi-humans never have to go hungry again. Is that the best compensation?”

“Ugh, but, isn’t that very difficult?”

“Laina, don’t underestimate me. Didn’t I say? I have power and influence among humans. Settling down your families well is quite easy.”

“Then... then big brother is not allowed to go back on your word just because it’s too difficult.”

“Don’t worry. I, Orson, never boast.”

The two flew in the sky, chatting and laughing, then returned to the tribe.
