Seduce The Villainess (GL)

(Xyrean Province- The Mermaid's Lake)

(Forested Outskirts- Training Field)

"I think... I think that I 'like' you too."

Gong Li's felt her heart stop as Liu Yifei's words echoed through her mind.

She could tell that the tips of her ears were now fully red as she stammered and tried to figure out what had just happened.

Wait... did Liu Yifei just kiss her? Was this a dream?

"Please... please... don't let me wake up..." Gong Li muttered quietly under her breath, but she didn't know that her friend heard her soft whisper.

Liu Yifei giggled, and her laughter filled the air as she leaned forward and captured Gong Li's lips for a second time.

"Still think that you're dreaming?" Liu Yifei teased softly as her hands extended forward to wrap around her friend's body.

"You... you really like me?" Gong Li softly whispered as her body tensed up with fear of being rejected.

Liu Yifei put away her joking attitude and stared directly into Gong Li's eyes. She could see a mixture of emotions surfacing in the young girl's gaze.

There was hope and love as well as fear and anxiety.

Liu Yifei knew that her friend struggled with self esteem issues, but she did not know that it was to this extent.

Although she completely understood why she probably felt this way. Being gay was not seen as socially or culturally acceptable in their country.

Liu Yifei had only recently realised that she liked girls, but Gong Li probably struggled with this part of her for many years of her life.

If it were not for the crazy events that they had experienced together over the last few months...

Maybe the feelings that Liu Yifei had for Gong Li would have probably never gone beyond mere friendship.

She had struggled with her feelings for a few weeks and now was the time to give Gong Li the proper answer that she deserved.

"I knew that you had a crush on me from a long time ago," Liu Yifei spoke seriously as she raised up her palm and brushed it against the side of Gong Li's cheek.

"The reason why I didn't say anything or respond to your feelings was because... I was confused. I didn't know if the feelings that I had for you were romantic..."

"It wouldn't be fair to you if I started a relationship with you only to realise later than I didn't even like girls..."

Liu Yifei paused for a moment as she spoke the words that she had kept hidden in her heart.

It was probably not the best move to talk about her doubts, but she wanted to be completely honest with Gong Li.

This was her first same-sex relationship... hell this was her second romantic relationship because she had only ever dated Qin Lan's brother and they had done no more than hold hands.

Gong Li had gotten her first kiss.

"I'm still not sure why you fell in love with a girl who can't make up her mind like me, but I know one thing..." Liu Yifei whispered softly.

"I don't see you as just a friend and I want to give this a relationship a try. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Gong Li blinked rapidly as tears began to well up along the corners of her eyes. She rubbed her eyes furiously and could feel the wetness on her hands.

This was real... this was all she ever wanted...

Liu Yifei used to be the untouchable class flower who was way out of her league and yet now she had the chance to date her.

If Gong Li could go back in time and tell her younger self that the school flower had confessed to her then she wouldn't be believed.

Even now the young teenage girl could scarcely believe what was happening and all she could do was nod furiously.

"Yes... I want to be your girlfriend," Gong Li replied with no trace of hesitation in her voice.

A sweet smile flashed across Liu Yifei's face and Gong Li looked at her beautiful smile with a spellbound expression.

She leaned against Liu Yifei's shoulder and the pair spend a sweet moment of peace together.

For a few minutes it was as though the zombie apocalypse had never occurred as the pair were lost in each other's company.

(Unnamed Settlement – Father Han's Church)

Father Han reached into the pocket of his robe and took out a small metallic flask. He unscrewed the top of the flask and took a large swig of its contents.

The middle-aged priest coughed violently as the foul taste of hard liquor slid down his throat and made his mouth begin to burn.

Numbing himself with alcohol was the only way that he could relax after such a difficult week.

There was still no trace of the mysterious woman who had absorbed his power and then just fled the settlement.

And of course, these simple folk constantly asked him to hold another ceremony to give supernatural abilities to members of the congregation.

Father Han scowled fiercely and took another swig from the flask. Sister Guan's face flashed across his mind and his bad mood got even worse.

His loyal nun was now too powerful.

Father Han did not even dare to order her around casually after seeing how strong her ability was.

One thought would be all she needed to drive a solid earth spike through his chest and kill him instantly.

"Lord please give me strength," Father Han muttered quietly in despair. The priest placed his head in his palms and took in a few deep breaths.

There was no use in panicking now. He was in too deep and at least these simple folk believed that he was some sort of saviour.

All he needed to do now was to keep up the act and become the spiritual centerpiece of this new society.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

A series of footsteps echoed through the corridor and the sound got louder with every passing minute.

Father Han quickly screwed back on the cap of his flask and then placed it back in his robes.

He got up from the ground and stared out of the window with a pensive expression on his face.

The middle-aged priest heard someone come around the corner and slowly turned to speak to them.

"Greetings my child... what do you wish to... YOU!"

Standing across from him was the gorgeous woman with otherworldly beauty and features that did not seem to belong to a mortal in this world.

Standing next to her was another woman but she was far plainer, and one could compare the two women's looks to a pale moon eclipsed by a burning sun.

"Father Han..." the plain woman smiled charmingly as she pulled out a pistol from her pocket and pointed it at the priest.

"Remember the ability user that you wanted to hunt down and kill?"
