Villain: I transmigrated with Mind Control Powers

Aric knew how important it was to be patient. If he wanted true power, he had to plan carefully and take his time. Aric liked using people like pieces in a game. For Mei Xian, who was called the "daughter of destiny," Aric knew force wouldn't work. Instead, he needed to use clever tricks and find the right tools to get what he wanted.

One of these tools was Murong Wei.

Murong Wei was a junior disciple in the Holy Sect and was very close to Mei Xian, like a younger sister. The two had no formal senior-junior relationship; they trusted each other completely, and this made Murong Wei the perfect person for Aric to use. He had been watching her for a while, learning about her insecurities and her desire to prove herself. She admired Mei Xian a lot but always felt like she couldn't match up to her. Aric decided he could use these feelings to his advantage, even if Murong Wei didn't realize it.

One night, under the moonlight, Aric approached Murong Wei at the training grounds. She was practicing her basic moves, sweat shining on her forehead, when she suddenly felt someone behind her.

"Senior Brother Adolf?" Murong Wei turned, surprised to see Aric standing there. His eyes seemed to reflect the moonlight, almost glowing.

"Murong Wei," he greeted her, his voice gentle but with a hint of power, as he stepped closer.

"Is there something I can do for you?" she asked, a little nervous. Everyone respected Aric because of his strength, and she admired him too. But there was something unsettling about him being this close.

"Yes, there is." His voice was soft, almost like a whisper, and it seemed to wrap around her mind. "I need your help, and in return, I can help you get what you want." He looked straight into her eyes, his gaze unblinking, and his eyes seemed to hold a strange power.

Murong Wei blinked, looking confused. She already felt like her willpower was slipping away. "Help me get...?"

Aric smiled, but it was a cold smile. He reached into his storage ring and pulled out a small vial containing several dark pills. "Take these, Murong Wei. These are 25 Holy Dan Pills. If you consume them, you will gain strength." He offered her the vial, his eyes boring into hers.

Murong Wei hesitated, looking at the vial. She could feel the energy radiating from it. There was something dark, almost sinister, about those pills. But the desire to prove herself, to finally stand out, clouded her judgment.

Aric's voice softened, yet it held a commanding tone. "With this, you can be strong like Senior Sister Mei Xian. You want that, don't you? To be recognized, to be powerful?"

Murong Wei swallowed hard, then nodded. "Yes, Senior Brother... I want that." She took the vial with trembling hands and opened it.

"Good. Consume them, and everything will become clear," Aric instructed, his smile growing colder.

Murong Wei took a deep breath, then swallowed the pills one by one. The moment she consumed them, her body went rigid, and her eyes widened in shock. She felt a rush of power coursing through her veins, but it was accompanied by a sense of losing herself. The world around her blurred, and Aric's voice seemed to be the only thing that mattered.

"Murong Wei," he whispered.

He leaned in closer, his words now a command. "You will do as I say. You belong to me now." He could feel it as her will broke, bending completely to what he wanted.

"Yes, Senior Brother... I will obey," she whispered, her voice empty of any doubt.

Aric smiled even wider. "Good. Now, listen closely to what I need you to do."

Aric needed Murong Wei for a very specific task. He knew that Mei Xian wasn't someone he could just force to do what he wanted—she was strong and proud. But she also deeply cared about the people she trusted, and Aric planned to use that bond to his advantage.

He explained everything to Murong Wei. Her job was to make sure Mei Xian joined Aric on an upcoming mission. Murong Wei would convince Mei Xian to let her tag along as well. And while they were out on the mission, Murong Wei would have another job to do.

"There's a special herb," Aric said, giving Murong Wei a small vial. "This is an aphrodisiac, something that will make Mei Xian's energy start to burn uncontrollably, and the only way to stop it is to be with a compatible partner. Do you understand what I am asking you to do?"

Murong Wei, under his mind control, simply nodded, holding the vial tightly.

Aric's eyes darkened as he thought about what was going to happen. "You will give this to Mei Xian when the time is right. And when she needs help, I will be there."

Murong Wei nodded again, her expression blank, only obedience remaining.

The day came when Aric asked Mei Xian to join him for the mission. He approached her in the training grounds while she practiced her sword techniques. The afternoon sun made everything glow, giving the courtyard a warm, golden light. Mei Xian paused her practice, looking at him with a curious smile.

"Adolf," she greeted him warmly, putting her sword away. "What brings you here?"

"I'm leading a mission soon," Aric began, trying to keep his tone light and casual. "An expedition outside the sect's borders. I was hoping you could join me."

Mei Xian looked interested but also a little hesitant. "An expedition? For what?"

Aric shrugged. "We're going to search for rare herbs and resources. It could be good for both of us. And besides," he added with a small smile, "I could use someone I trust by my side."

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll come. But if you don't mind, I want to bring Murong Wei. She's eager to learn more about these missions."

Aric's smile widened. Everything was going as planned. "Of course. The more, the merrier."

The expedition started a few days later. The three of them—Aric, Mei Xian, and Murong Wei—set off for a secluded area near the borders of the Holy Sect. The scenery was beautiful: tall mountains covered in snow, dense forests, and the distant sounds of spiritual beasts echoing through the air. It was peaceful, but beneath that peace was Aric's dark plan, slowly coming together.

One evening, after a long day of gathering herbs, they set up camp in a small clearing. Aric gathered wood while Mei Xian started a campfire. Murong Wei brewed tea, just as Aric had told her to.

Murong Wei carefully added the contents of the vial to Mei Xian's cup, her hands steady and her face calm. Under Aric's mind control, she had no guilt or hesitation—only loyalty.

"Here, Senior Sister," Murong Wei said, handing the cup to Mei Xian with a smile.

Mei Xian took it gratefully. "Thanks, Wei. You've been so helpful today."

Murong Wei bowed her head slightly. "It's my honor, Senior Sister."

Aric watched from the corner of his eye as Mei Xian took a drink. He felt a dark thrill as he waited, knowing what was about to happen. It didn't take long for her expression to change—her eyes widened, and she looked surprised.

"Adolf..." she whispered, her voice strained. "Something's wrong."

Aric rushed over to her, his face filled with fake concern. "Mei Xian, what's happening?"

She clutched her chest, her breathing becoming heavy and fast. Her skin turned red, and she was shaking. "I... I feel strange. My energy... it's burning inside me."

Aric glanced at Murong Wei, who nodded and stepped back, leaving Mei Xian in his care.

Aric helped Mei Xian into a nearby tent, his hands steady as he guided her inside. Her skin was burning, and her breath came in quick gasps. He laid her down on a blanket, her eyes looking up at him with a mix of fear and trust. She reached out, grabbing his wrist, her fingers trembling.

"Adolf, please... help me," she begged, her eyes filled with fear and desperation. Her entire body was consumed by the fire from within, and she could barely form her words.

He looked at her, his heart racing with a mix of triumph and desire. "There is a way to help you, but it's... unconventional," he said softly, pretending to hesitate. He wanted her to think she had a choice.

"I—I'll do anything," she managed to say, her body shaking. "Please, just make it stop."

He nodded and leaned closer, whispering in her ear. "Trust me, Senior Sister Mei Xian. I'll take care of you." His words were smooth, and his expression was one of caring concern, though deep inside, he felt a twisted sense of triumph.

And with that, he began what he had planned all along. He whispered comforting words to her, making her feel safe even as he took advantage of her vulnerable state. His hands moved gently, calming her, and he made sure his presence felt like a lifeline to her in her moment of weakness.

That night, Mei Xian became his. The aphrodisiac burned inside her, and Aric was the one to put out the fire, binding her to him in body and spirit. The power dynamic shifted, and he knew that now, Mei Xian would look at him differently, with both gratitude and dependency.
