Chapter 1: Transmigrating into the Loathed Villainous Guide
“Xie Qiang, do you have no brain!”
A low, angry voice rang in her ears. Xie Qiang opened her eyes to see a handsome, blonde man in a black military uniform looking at her with an expression of utter disgust.
Suppressing his rage, the man spoke quickly. “My mania level has already reached 89%! If I go out now to clear the Zerg and fall into a manic state, both of us will be in danger!”
“So, purify me first, and then I’ll go out and clear the Zerg!”
He placed heavy emphasis on the last sentence, clearly incensed.
Xie Qiang was a bit dazed by his hostility. She looked left and right, realizing she was in a strange room. She and the man were standing next to a massive metal door. From outside came the sounds of beast-like scratching and roaring, scaring her into an instinctive step back.
Where was she? Wasn’t she just in class at the medical school? Why would she suddenly appear here?
And this man in front of her—what did he just say about “Zerg”?
A sudden sharp pain pierced her head as a flood of memories, foreign yet somewhat familiar, surged into her mind. Once Xie Qiang finished processing them, she finally understood her current situation.
She had actually transmigrated into the interstellar Sentinel-Guide novel she had been following recently, becoming the loathed villainous supporting female character of the same name.
And the blonde man before her was the villainess’s disabled fiancé—Sen Ji!
In the book, the supporting character was the highly favored Second Princess of the Star-Sea Empire. At the age of eighteen, she awakened as an S-class Guide with a Ragdoll Cat spiritual body. To ensure she could secure her seat on the throne in the future, the Emperor betrothed her to the Empire’s only SSS-class Sentinel.
This was the man known as the “God of War,” Sen Ji.
However, Sen Ji had a congenital disability: he could not be purified by any Guide. Coincidentally, only the original host of this body was capable of purifying him.
But the original host looked down on Sen Ji completely. Not only did she refuse to purify him, but she also repeatedly humiliated his character.
She treated other Sentinels the same way, viewing them as lowly slaves and commanding them to obey her various perverted whims. At the slightest sign of displeasure, she would throw them into a water prison, torturing them for her own amusement.
The Sentinels felt an unspoken rage; even though they loathed her, they could only endure her arrogance.
The original host’s retribution came quickly.
The Zerg launched a surprise attack on the Logistics Guide Department, and Sen Ji rushed to save her despite his busy schedule. At that time, his body was on the verge of mania, so he requested that she purify him first before he went out to clear the Zerg outside the door.
But the original host had a fierce attitude and drove Sen Ji out the door, leading him to fall into mania while fighting the Zerg.
Afterward, she stood by and watched him die, stating bluntly that a defective product like Sen Ji deserved to die and wasn’t worthy of being purified by her.
The Sentinels were filled with righteous indignation. That very night, the villainess was assassinated by an A-class Sentinel named Wu Zao. Although she didn’t die, she lost half an arm, and from then on, her personality became even darker and more twisted.
Xie Qiang instinctively brushed her left forearm.
Just then, Sen Ji’s voice, thick with restraint, rang out again. “Just 5% purification is enough. Just 5%, and I can clear all the Zerg in the Logistics Department!”
That’s right, only 5%.
But the original host was so stingy she wouldn’t even bestow that tiny bit of mental power, leaving behind only an ice-cold taunt: “Even if it were 1% purification, I wouldn’t waste it on a defective product like you!”
The moment those words fell, Sen Ji’s expression changed drastically. His gaze shot toward Xie Qiang, growing even colder. Xie Qiang suddenly covered her small mouth, her beautiful almond eyes widening into circles.
Did… did she just speak the villainess’s line out loud?
“I didn’t mean that!” Xie Qiang hurriedly grabbed his arm, only to be violently shaken off.
Her body tilted backward, and her back shoulder slammed heavily against the edge of a metal cabinet.
She couldn’t help but let out a cry of pain.
Sen Ji stared at her intently, his eyes hiding an irrepressible anger. “You’ve humiliated me for so long, is it still not enough? I’m telling you, I would rather go out and die right now than be controlled by you any longer!”
With that, he moved to open the door.
Xie Qiang clutched the corner of her shoulder, tears pricking the corners of her eyes from the pain. But seeing Sen Ji looking like he really was going to his death, she endured the pain and grabbed his hand. “Don’t… don’t go out…”
“What else do you want to do!” Sen Ji shook her off impatiently. He turned back to look at Xie Qiang, but froze slightly when he saw the teardrops hanging from her eyes. “You…”
She was actually crying?
“I’ll purify you.” Xie Qiang reached out her hand. Her almond eyes, moistened by tears, were as clear as a purified glacier. She whispered, “So, don’t shake me off again. It really hurts.”
Sen Ji took a step back instead.
“What kind of trick are you trying to play now?” He looked at Xie Qiang with a gaze full of suspicion, clearly unable to believe her kindness.
Xie Qiang took a deep breath, her pink lips softly exhaling as she told herself not to get angry. “Sen Ji, I don’t want to repeat myself a second time.”
Sen Ji walked over half-doubtingly. He stared at Xie Qiang’s hand for a long time until, finally, Xie Qiang couldn’t hold back and grasped his palm.
Sen Ji instinctively wanted to shake her off again, but just as the thought arose, he felt an extremely gentle mental power. With an incredibly overbearing force, it surged along the back of his hand and into his entire body.
The tingling sensation it caused along the way made his body start to tremble uncontrollably. Within just a few breaths, that cold and handsome face was stained with an irresistible, seductive flush…
Damn it, he knew she was up to no good!
Sen Ji felt a bit ashamed and angry. Clearly, simple surface purification could be achieved through skin contact alone, yet she insisted on this deep mental purification, forcing him into such an embarrassing state—
Sen Ji desperately resisted the heat in his body, but for two hundred years, his spiritual sea had never been visited by a Guide. He simply couldn’t withstand such a rich purification. With a pop, his tiger ears and tiger tail burst out from his body. The golden tiger tail couldn’t suppress its excitement, thumping against the ground and making a rhythmic sound.
Sen Ji was so ashamed he almost wanted to die.
He could almost predict how Xie Qiang would mock and humiliate him.
Xie Qiang, however, looked with surprise at the tiger ears that had suddenly grown on Sen Ji’s head.
In the original book, Sentinels fought the Zerg year-round; both their minds and bodies required healing and purification. By stroking their beastalized parts or their spiritual bodies, a Guide could bring about emotional healing and physical purification.
Since Sen Ji had revealed his tiger ears, did that mean… he wanted her to touch them?
So, Xie Qiang reached out her other hand and gave them a stroke.
They felt soft and fluffy. The tiger ears trembled slightly under her touch; at first, there was some resistance, but they soon softened and drooped, proactively rubbing against her palm.
Just as Xie Qiang was getting into the rhythm of stroking them, the now-sober Sen Ji suddenly slapped her hand away. The expression on his face was even more shocked than hers. “You—!”
Sen Ji gazed at Xie Qiang in disbelief. He parted his lips as if wanting to say something, but in the end, his lips pressed into a hard, cold line. He said nothing, turned around, and rushed out the door.
He looked quite a bit like he was fleeing in panic.
Xie Qiang stood in place, dumbstruck.
Didn’t he want purification? Why did he run away again?
Her small nose wrinkled slightly. Xie Qiang thought to herself that a man’s heart is truly a needle at the bottom of the sea. Still, worried about Sen Ji’s condition, she walked to the door and secretly opened a crack to look outside.
Sen Ji had already retracted his beastalized form. He neatly sliced the Zerg outside the door in half. His slender figure moved through the Zerg, harvesting their lives with ease, yet not a single drop of their insect blood stained his uniform.
As expected of an SSS-class Sentinel. Watching him, Xie Qiang felt her fear of those ugly and ferocious Zerg diminish by a few degrees.
Once the Zerg were mostly cleared, the Guides from other rooms stepped out. They looked at the Zerg corpses on the ground with lingering fear, grateful that Sen Ji had arrived in time.
One of the Guides walked up to Sen Ji, her soft gaze filled with concern. “Commander Sen, can your body still hold up?”
Xie Qiang recognized who she was.
