The Villainess Won’t Let The Main Leads Break Up!

Chapter 18

Shen Wanqing felt that she was someone who had very good composure

Specifically shown in—

When she was washing up, Xie Wuyan was watching her

When she began to comb her hair, humming a song while deciding what kind of hairpin to pick today, Xie Wuyan was still watching her.

When she turned around to start to work on her face in front of the vanity mirror, drawing on makeup fit for a glamorous b*tch and was even in high spirits to glue on some flower ornaments1looks like this:ruoxi🌵 on Twitter: "花钿is a flower-shaped face decoration that ancient  women often use it between their eyebrows and on cheeks…  https://t.co/navZWo9hF9", Xie Wuyan was still looking at her and even clicked his tongue in disgust.

Shen Wanqing endured it and pretended not to hear.

However, when she was about to start changing her clothes, she discovered that she had overestimated her ability to act composed.

His gaze was piercing, her back felt heated. She squeezed onto her cute dress, stopped the hand that was about to take off her clothes, and began to doubt her life as she was scalded by his bold and outright gaze.

Shen Wanqing swallowed her anger and found a corner. When she was about to change her clothes quickly, she suddenly heard a few knocks from the door.

“Wanqing, can I come in?” Ji Feichen shouted.

Hearing this, Shen Wanqing straightened her back instantly, glanced at Xie Wuyan who was leaning on the bed and resting with his eyes closed, and her temples began to throb.

“Squeak—”

The door slid open.

“Wait, wait, wait, wait—” she yelled, and jumped towards Xie Wuyan.

Xie Wuyan raised his eyelids and looked at her.

Shen Wanqing was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, pushed him inside, picked up the quilt to cover him carelessly, then released the bed curtain down.

As soon as the bed curtain was put down, Ji Feichen opened the door and came in: “How was your rest last night?”

Upon hearing ‘last night’, Shen Wanqing tilted her gaze with a guilty conscience, scanning the bed curtain behind her: “…pretty good.”

She just hoped that Xie Wuyan would lie down peacefully and not cause any trouble for her.

However, Xie Wuyan proved with all his strength that he wouldn’t do that.

He rolled over.

The bed board made a squeaking sound, which echoed particularly loudly in the room

Shen Wanqing wanted to strangle him.

Ji Feichen turned his head and looked suspiciously in the direction of the bed: “Just now—”

“Ah, right,” Shen Wanqing quickly interrupted, “Speaking of which, is there anything in particular you wanted to talk to me about, Big Brother Ji?”

Ji Feichen’s attention was averted: “Well, we have delayed our journey here for too long. Seeing that your injury is not a huge issue anymore, we will leave tonight. Pack up your things carefully, don’t leave anything behind.”

After speaking, he continued to talk endlessly for a while before turning and leaving.

After finally sending him away, Shen Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, turned back and opened the curtain, aggressively preparing to question Xie Wuyan.

However, she saw Xie Wuyan have his head resting on his arm, lying lazily on the bed, holding a novel in his hand, his index finger sandwiched between two pages, looking at it with interest.

Shen Wanqing took a closer look at the title of the book: “Lost Love at The Endless Valley”.

She had been shopping around for a lot of novels these days, and after she finished reading one while lying in her bed, she would stuff it to the side of her bed without much thought.

This book told the tale about the love-hate relationship between a master and his rebellious female apprentice. It also involved some bashful plots of forceful imprisonment that involved heart and body tormenting scenes.

“…” Shen Wanqing suddenly lost all of her temper, it was replaced by a huge sense of shame.

With shame all over her face, she couldn’t care less about whether she could beat him or not, she threw herself forward and reached out to grab the book. Xie Wuyan seemed to deliberately want to tease her, raising his hand so that she could not reach it.

“Boom”

At this moment, the door was pushed open again.

This time, there was no chance given to them to digest the situation, unlike what Ji Feichen had done. Zeng Ziyun asked rashly and noisily: “Shen Wanqing, do you know where Master Xie went? I just went to give him something and I didn’t see him…”

F*ck.

Shen Wanqing’s mind went blank, she was still in the posture of trying to grab the book and hadn’t reacted in time.

Xie Wuyan raised his eyes, buckled her back, and pulled her towards him. With a stroke of a finger, the bed curtain was lowered.

Zeng Ziyun glanced forward, but didn’t see anyone.

She walked in suspiciously, shouting at the top of her voice a couple of times, but no one responded. She turned her head to look in the direction of the bed, and thrust herself in: “Don’t tell me you are still asleep?”

After speaking, she reached out to lift the bed curtain.

Shen Wanqing felt suffocated.

If Ji Feichen had caught Xie Wuyan in her room when he had walked in, there could still be room for explanation.

Now the two of them were lying together in such a strange posture, if they were caught, there was nothing they could do to clear their names.

A corner of the bed curtain was lifted up, letting in a beam of light.

She felt her heart die, withering into ash.

Xie Wuyan lowered his head and looked at the small head drooping down in his arms, looking like a listless bunny. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then clasped his hands gently together without making much motion.

She was very thin and so small, it was easy to hold her in his embrace after she had curled up into a ball.

“Eh?”

Zeng Ziyun’s exclamation did not come as expected.

She looked at the bed suspiciously and frowned, “Is she not in her room?”

Shen Wanqing was startled, and was about to look up, but Xie Wuyan buckled the back of her head.

He raised his index finger and pressed it against her lips, a smile in his eyes: “Shhh.”

Her lips were caught off guard by an icy temperature, it caused Shen Wanqing to be stunned for a while.

She looked at his smiling eyes, and immediately came to a realisation that Xie Wuyan had probably used a Concealment Trick.

Zeng Ziyun saw that no one was here so she left the room while scratching her head.

Shen Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and knelt down next to Xie Wuyan, patting her chest while saying, “Thank you.”

Xie Wuyan picked up a strand of her hair with his index finger, still in a lazy and relaxed posture, putting it in his hand to play around with it, and then slowly replied, “Well, how will you thank me?”

“…”

Shen Wanqing: Look at how arrogant you’ve become.

Who was the one who had caused this problem? How could you take advantage of this situation to please yourself?

It was originally scheduled to leave around five to seven in the afternoon, but something had propped up suddenly which delayed the time for a while.

While Feng Yaoqing was slaying demons today, she had underestimated the Underground Demon’s cultivation base and was attacked by it when she least expected, causing her to suffer some minor injuries. Although it wasn’t severe enough to delay the trip, she still had suffered some damage to her body, so after taking some medicine, she slept in the carriage.

The night was gradually deepening, and thick fog surged.

As they reached a village, the carriage gradually slowed down.

Ji Feichen’s eyes condensed slightly, and he lifted up the curtain. Xie Wuyan had been hugging his sword and leaning on the table with his eyes closed to rest, but at this moment he opened his eyes as if he had sensed something.

The smell of blood.

Not far from the village, there was a purple bamboo forest which exuded a very strong smell of blood and resentment. Others may not sense this, but as long as there was a cultivator passing by, they would be able to clearly smell this strong scent.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums.

Shen Wanqing opened the curtain and looked out the window.

Several fires lit up in the village, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, and a group of people carried a red palanquin, stepping with the rhythm of the sound, walking slowly towards the direction of the purple bamboo forest.

It seemed to be a wedding, but the sound of the gongs and drums did not make people feel even a bit festive, on the contrary, it was quite horrifying.

Zeng Ziyun stuck out her head to probe: “Who is holding a wedding in the middle of the night?”

Ji Feichen raised his hand and made a ‘Shh’ gesture.

Looking closely, none of these villagers carried any sort of expression on their faces. Compared to joy or sadness, it was more like a kind of numbness from being accustomed to it.

Only an old couple walking next to the palanquin were crying with tears.

While talking, the group of people passed by their carriage.

Shen Wanqing squinted her eyes.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt the pace of this group slow down.

The red palanquin curtain was lifted by the wind, and a woman in a wedding dress could be vaguely seen sitting inside, and she could faintly hear her sobs.

“Please stay.”

Ji Feichen frowned, jumped off the carriage, and stopped the palanquin: “Please pardon me for intruding, may I ask what kind of wedding is being held during the middle of the night?”

The two villagers standing in front looked at each other and shook their heads: “Outsiders, don’t be nosy.”

Shen Wanqing leaned against the window, grabbing her sunflower seeds and cracking them while watching on.

Hey, this tone definitely meant that they had triggered some sort of hidden mission.

However, before giving Ji Feichen a chance to respond, the crying old couple immediately knelt beside him, grabbing his trouser legs and shouted: “This young hero, please save my little girl.”

“Please quickly get up and talk.” Ji Feichen bent over to help them up.

The old man stood up while trembling and was assisted over to sit down on the side. After catching his breath, he said: “You all may not know, we are not holding a wedding, we are giving a sacrifice to the demon.”

Shen Wanqing listened for a while.

To sum up, this village suffered a severe drought three years ago. However, something that claimed to be a Mountain God suddenly arrived and brought about heavy rain, alleviating the drought. Then the head of the village built a mountain temple in the purple bamboo forest, people would run over there everyday to burn incense and pray for their longevity and wealth.

Then one day the Mountain God really spoke, saying that it could fulfil their wishes as long as they sent over a beautiful young girl as sacrifice every month, then they could have whatever they wanted in the future. They could also choose not to send anything, but if something were to happen to the village in the future, it wouldn’t tend to it, as it had not received anything in compensation.

Everyone was sensible, as soon as they heard this, they knew that this thing was definitely not a proper Mountain God but most likely a demonic monster who was acting under pretense.

However, the village chief thought, wow, this was such a good opportunity, and then pondered about it – it wasn’t like he was a young lady so he wouldn’t be sent as a sacrifice, thus, he ordered the villagers to select one person every month to send to the mountain temple for sacrifice.

But the villagers did not actually get any benefits. Most of the money was earned by the village chief, the middleman.

When Ji Feichen heard this, he could not let this situation continue on and immediately reassured them: “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you eliminate this demon.”

“I’m afraid you don’t know, cultivator,” the old man sighed, “this monster appears and disappears without a trace. It’s not like we haven’t secretly invited Taoist priests to come and eliminate it, but they were always killed before they could find its trace.”

“I see…” Ji Feichen frowned and thought for a while.

If this is the case, if they wanted to successfully attract the demon, they could only use a sacrifice as bait.

But ordinary people could not protect themselves as bait.

Feng Yaoqing had just gotten injured, and still had not woken up from her coma.

Zeng Ziyun…

With her rashness, even if the demon didn’t want to kill her, she would have run into the knife herself.

As such, there was only one left—

Shen Wanqing, who was eating her sunflower seeds, felt Ji Feichen’s gaze fall upon her.

She rubbed the skin of the sunflower seeds, brushed her hands, and sat up straight as if she had expected this all along.

In fact, Ji Feichen was not to blame to bother her, mainly because he really didn’t have a choice.

At least she could still save her own life or in the worst case scenario exchange a life for a life. Zeng Ziyun could only exchange the phrase “Big Brother Ji ” to “Big Brother Xie”, and Xie Wuyan might even get so annoyed by her yells that he would stab her to death first.

“I think it’s possible, I’m good at this, I’ve been the bait many times before.” Shen Wanqing had no objections, but there was a sentence she had to say, “But what I think is, if there are similar situations in the future, and you really can’t conquer such a demon, you can consider prioritising killing the village chief first.”

Why were the people in your village so inflexible?

Although the demon deserves death, it had not forced them to buy or sell.

If you couldn’t kill the magic lamp, you could kill Aladdin.

The author has something to say: I will eat Xie Wuyan raw.

I will open my mouth, peel off Xie Wuyan’s clothes, and then take a bite.

Xie Wuyan will yell loudly: “Ah!”

Me: “Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”

Xie Wuyan has died.

Xie Wuyan has resigned as the male lead overnight, and he will have his last scene in the next chapter (just kidding).
