This is Not How You Use a Villainess Sir

Chapter 7: Sir, That’s Not How You Use a Bad Woman

“Dare to rob me of my money?”

Recognizing the newcomer as Janet, the noble guards didn’t dare to utter a word, only casting a fierce glance before fleeing in panic.

“Big sister Janet!”

Led by Dura, a group of children greeted the woman cheerfully.

Janet put away her hostility, crouched down, and patted the children’s heads, returning the silver coins to them.

But the children shook their heads, refused the coins and placed them back in Janet’s hands.

“This is for you, big sister. You’ve helped us so much…” Holding the silver coins was indeed too dangerous for the children, so Janet accepted them but exchanged them for a small bag of copper coins to give back to them.

“Use this to buy food, just carry one or two copper coins at a time. Where did these silver coins come from?”

“We earned them by working!”

Dura said proudly and happily, feeling independent and excited to be able to help Janet.

But Janet’s expression darkened. The odd jobs at the Dead Sea border couldn’t earn that much money, and even if they did, it wouldn’t be the children’s turn to do them.

The only thing she could think of was some copper-smelting addict who had described the exchange as work, deceiving these children.

Janet asked sternly, “Did you all work together?”

The children replied in unison, “Yes!”

Among these children were both boys and girls, even the boys… Could it be that a priest from the church had come to the Dead Sea border?

“Who gave you the work, what did he ask you to do? Tell your big sister everything!”

Outgoing and eloquent Dura, the spokesperson for the children, said:

“It was the new lord, sir. He asked us to find the whereabouts of the slime monsters. Once we found them, we were to report back to him, and he instructed us not to get close.”

“Hmm?”

Janet was taken aback.

She had thought it was some strange job, but it turned out to be scouting for monster locations.

In her mind, she pictured the face of that unlucky lord.

What was he up to?

Janet was well aware of the slime monsters’ activity locations, as she often moved through dangerous areas.

She informed Dura of several locations, instructing them to report back to Chu Yan, while she herself would secretly confirm what this man was plotting.

…

“So quickly you’ve confirmed so many slime monster locations, impressive!”

Chu Yan gave a thumbs up in praise, settled the final payment for the task, and even gave them a few extra silver coins.

Dura happily passed the silver coins around to her friends, and as they touched the coins, their eyes were filled with hope for the future.

“Lord Brother, what do you need the location of these demons for? Is it for training?”

“To clean up the trash, otherwise my life’s circumstances will go downhill.”

Managing the city’s appearance, in fact, having mages spray water magic in the affluent districts is indeed the most efficient measure.

But as a result, the hygiene in the slums suffers.

Moreover, he also needs to show his stance, to give a small response to the nobles here.

Time waits for no one, and Chu Yan first finds the nearest slime monster.

The little kids are curious about what he’s going to do, keeping their distance and following behind, worried that their presence will cause trouble for Chu Yan.

‘Mimicry: Dragon Flame Binding Net’

Chu Yan throws out a fireball the size of a head, which explodes on the black mire body of the slime monster, releasing not the energy of flames, but a giant net of fire.

The fire net traps the slime monster, and the highly aggressive demon tries to break free, only to become tighter and tighter. These flaming ropes sizzle as they burn, sinking into the slime monster’s body, touching its inner demonic crystal core.

After a struggle, the slime monster is bound in a shameful manner, forced to reduce its aggressiveness and protect its core with all its might.

“Thank goodness this flame is blessed by an ancient dragon, otherwise it would be really hard to control this mutated slime.”

Chu Yan conducts a self-assessment, feeling increasingly that Xianoya’s strength is extraordinary, and forbidden power is indeed fierce!

He can’t kill the slime monster in one hit; controlling and killing are two different levels of concepts.

And the children watching from behind already have stars of admiration and reverence in their eyes.

(*☉⊙*)

“Last time I saw Lord Brother, he needed protection, I didn’t expect him to be so strong! Seni, when will your magic reach this level!”

“That’s mimicry magic, which can freely transform magical elements into different shapes, it’s difficult!”

“So why doesn’t Lord Brother just eliminate this slime monster?”

Compared to these children, Jeanette, hiding in the shadows, sees more clearly.

She knows that Chu Yan’s strength is just “passable,” lacking the ability to stand alone at the border of the Dead Sea, gritting her teeth and barely able to protect himself.

Here, the slime monster is just at the bottom of the demon ecological chain.

The blessing of the dragon bloodline gives him too much help, allowing him to easily control the slime monster.

However, Jeanette had just felt that she needed to lend a hand, a lord who came to the Dead Sea border for a trial, his ability was much better than she had imagined.

As she ponders what Chu Yan is preparing to do next, she sees him leading the slime monster, taking a stroll through the slums.

Whatever trash he encounters on the road, he picks it up and throws it into the slime monster’s viscous body, letting the slime slowly corrode it.

While strolling through the slums, Chu Yan also ties up another lump of slime monster, leading one in each hand.

The kids follow happily along, picking up trash and throwing it directly onto the slime monster.

“I never thought that slime monsters could be used like this!”

“Lord Brother, after we finish strolling here, are we going to kill these two lumps of demons?”

Chu Yan was still contemplating the slum’s environment in his heart. Although the houses were simple and dilapidated, they were clean, with hardly any trash visible, at least cleaner than the affluent districts.

—Of course, it might also be because their resources for survival didn’t allow for any surplus or waste.

The child’s question brought Chu Yan’s attention back to the present, and he replied:

“No, we still have to go up to the city district to clean up the trash.”

……

At the city district gate, the guards were yawning, celebrating another day of slacking off.

But the gradual approach of two large blobs of monsters jolted them awake from their drowsiness.

“Halt, who are you? You’re not allowed to bring monsters near here!”

Chu Yan took out his lordship transfer document, with the Dragonflame family’s lacquered seal clearly visible.

“I’m on official lordship business, mind your own, and get out of the way!”

“This is a noble area where the aristocracy lives, even if you are a lord, colluding with monsters and bringing them here to defile this place is not allowed!”

Three guards drew their weapons.

Clearly, due to the nobility’s disdainful attitude towards the new lord, these “watchdogs” felt they could trample over the lord’s head and be arrogant.

Chu Yan scratched his head, his innocent expression was utterly harmless, and he said:

“I’ve heard this place is a land of extreme evil, where the law is nothing but waste paper, as every inch of air in Elysium City flows with the sweet taste of freedom.

I think I need to adapt to the local customs.”

“You’re wise to understand, being new here, you still need to learn some rules, this isn’t the outside!”

The guards thought the lord had wisely backed down, but unexpectedly, Chu Yan grabbed one guard by the collar and threw him over his shoulder into the body of a slime monster.

That guard immediately became nourishment for the slime monster, his previous arrogance frozen in the monster’s body as a look of fearful pleading.

Chu Yan found dealing with monsters a bit sweat-inducing, but fighting a few guards was time for heavy punches!

After a few exchanges, the guards who tried to educate Chu Yan with local rules all became nourishment for the slime monsters.

Chu Yan easily entered the affluent city district with the monsters.

However, as the two blobs of slime crossed the threshold, their bodies “shrank.”

From the size of adult elephants, they became the size of horses.

“Indeed, as Shanoa said, something here is guarding, not only suppressing the control loss of the tabooed, but even the monsters’ strength greatly diminishes when they approach.”

Chu Yan didn’t explore further and casually strolled with the slime monsters here.

Their low intelligence offered no “resistance” to trash, especially the garbage from the affluent district, often leftover fruits and food from the aristocracy, which the slime monsters saw as one of the sources of magical replenishment, albeit weak, but still correct.

The two monsters were like “vacuum cleaners,” leaving no trash behind wherever they passed.

Even the charred traces left by burning trash were absorbed, and while the city wasn’t completely transformed, the cleanliness compared to before was like night and day.

However, inevitably, some rocks on the ground were also corroded, not affecting the overall integrity.

After several trips, Chu Yan “fed” five blobs of slime creatures, then released these monstrous scavengers into Baron Pigo’s manor estate.

With the flaming ropes untied, the monsters, driven by a strong will survive, wreaked havoc throughout Pigo’s grounds.

Although the Pigo household had strong servants, gathering them took time.

And dealing with five blobs of slime creatures, equivalent to a horde of monsters, was no easy task.

“What are you doing?!!”
