This is Not How You Use a Villainess Sir

Chapter 3: The Lord Wants to Write the Character “Righteous” on the Female Knight

At dawn by the Dead Sea border, it seemed like the end of the world.

Dark clouds oppressed the sky, extending the gloom to the unseen distance, and the black mud-like waves churned from the distant sea to the near reefs.

Situated in the city of bliss, one can’t see the coast, but the eternal sound of the waves is close at hand, almost etched onto the eardrums.

Chu Yan woke up at this indistinguishable time between day and night, tidied up his appearance, and left the lord’s castle.

His movements getting out of bed were quiet, with hardly any noise, but Xia Nuoya’s sleep was light, and she squinted open her eyes in the night.

It wasn’t until Chu Yan left that she sat up, puzzled about what this guy was up to.

“Could it be… he’s really determined to be a good lord of this place?”

The thought made Xia Nuoya’s eyes twitch involuntarily.

Such naivety could only describe him!

Xia Nuoya was also new here, but she had some understanding of the place.

Although it belonged to the Longyan family, it had become independent due to the chaos, and with monsters emerging from the sea, the disappearance of a lord wouldn’t cause the slightest ripple.

Just blame the monsters.

To stand firm here, one would at least need a well-organized adventure group, but clearly, Chu Yan lacked such manpower.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have invited her, a knight who had touched the forbidden, to be his companion.

Xia Nuoya hesitated whether to persuade him or not.

But,

Having never met him, if Chu Yan really got into trouble, she could enjoy her peace, not having to share her freshly cleaned bedroom with anyone.

After a moment’s hesitation, Xia Nuoya sighed, giving herself a reason, saying:

“Just follow him secretly and see, if he owes me a favor, or if I catch his weakness, I’ll have him repay me with a room.”

Having prepared her gear, the stunningly beautiful knight stepped into the dim twilight.

……

“At this time, one can truly encounter the real side of Elysium City, and it’s just too filthy.”

Chu Yan held his breath, walking around the city streets for a few rounds, the sanitary conditions were indescribable.

Life’s refuse piled up in the center of the bustling square, forming a small mountain.

Flies and rats were visible at a glance, and occasionally, there were flying cockroaches.

Judging by the charred traces left on the ground, it seemed that the garbage was regularly incinerated.

“I thought coming to this fantasy world, there wouldn’t be cockroaches…”

Does this count as an encounter with an “old friend” in a foreign land?

Chu Yan had only taken a preliminary walk around the district and already judged that if he couldn’t handle the municipal appearance work, the executioner would declare his trial a failure with just one glance.

It could already be described as ruins, hardly looking like it had been managed by anyone.

As Chu Yan planned to continue exploring other areas, shortly after leaving the square, he discovered several dirty children appearing.

They were sneaking around in the garbage heap, rummaging through something.
