No look of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came to thank you... for what you’ve done. You have saved the lives of my citizens which should normally have been my responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan remained silent, observing her carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Remnant Soul knew her younger self had thanked him—the same person she didn’t seem to like—he wondered what kind of expression she’d make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feilian glanced at the half-repaired buildings, the watchtowers, and everything which has been destroyed but people still trying to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a quiet breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the same place she’d essentially abandoned, and looking around, she couldn’t help but feel guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even felt she couldn’t look into the eyes of the survivors—some curious, some hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t think it was wrong for them to feel that way. After all, the one who was supposed to protect them had abandoned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least, the saving grace was that—unlike what she thought—the leader of this place didn’t seem to hate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could tell he didn’t hate her, but also didn’t fear or respect her either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he gave off a sense of quiet arrogance, like someone who was above her—even though she was the princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that was to be expected. She was just a princess who ruled over a single, average-sized city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan, on the other hand, was like a prince—heir to a clan that controlled hundreds of cities which are similar to Ironmist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place was supposed to be a death zone,\" she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet... you turned it into hope. You’ve managed to save and help hundreds of people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The haughty man beside her scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hope? For what? A pile of rubble and insects with toys that go bang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan’s gaze flicked to him—flat, unamused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce-looking guard subtly stepped forward, placing himself half a step between the two—just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feilian frowned but didn’t rebuke Minister Duan. Instead, she turned back to Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t waste your time. I came because I need your help. For the city’s sake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want the weapon that I made?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan asked bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t mind giving them the guns or letting them create more. But was that what he needed to do for the Trial?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it that simple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the only problem was the Middle City being destroyed, Bai Zihan doubted the original military force couldn’t have handled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reckoned that if they had ten people like that guard protecting the haughty guy, they could easily save the city from the demonic beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Feilian nodded honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard about its capabilities and would like to create more using the blacksmiths we have. Of course, I’ll give you proper compensation for your contribution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can you give me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan wasn’t particularly interested—he didn’t even know if he could bring anything from this illusion back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he asked anyway. He wanted to see her sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything and everything you want from the Treasury!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Feilian offered without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A top-tier offer—she was essentially saying he could take whatever he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The haughty guy yelled, angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really seemed pissed like the treasure princess wanted to give away belongs to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Minister Duan does think that everything in the Inner City belonged to him including the treasures in the treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, of course, he would get angry when what he thought of was being given away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t just give anything to this guy! Who knows if those things even work like the scouts claimed? Maybe it’s all a scam to cheat us out of our treasures!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess hesitated, then turned to Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you show us a demonstration of your weapon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her high status, she sure didn’t act like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, at the training ground—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors were using this space temporarily to train with the guns. It was also the same place where Bai Zihan had first tested black powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Feilian’s group waited in silence—though not all of them patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The haughty man kept tapping his foot, arms crossed, looking like the very air of the slums offended him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a group of survivors appeared, each holding a gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked to the training field, where wooden dummies lined the far wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual flick of their fingers, the group fired at command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—a clean, sharp crack echoed like thunder in the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farthest dummy, at least two hundred meters away, also had its armor pierced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The haughty guy flinched, startled by the loud noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feilian’s eyes widened as she stared at the shattered remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t think her scouts had lied, the story had sounded too bizarre to be completely trusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that she’d seen it for herself, she had no choice but to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan didn’t even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you like another demonstration?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked with mock politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Feilian slowly shook her head, lips parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that’s enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The haughty guy snapped out of it first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! So what? It’s just a bit stronger than a crossbow. Can it really change our situation? I doubt it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, despite the fact he’d just jumped in fear from the shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan didn’t respond. He didn’t care to prove that guns were the ultimate weapon or anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t want it, that was their loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well—actually, the question should be whether he even wanted to give them the method to make such weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>",1126,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b5bc2115230bc2f57ea53a189f90279787889ccaf1f52900672212b4369d379","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-146","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-144",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
