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

    Chapter 29

    Whenever she wanted a favor from him, Xie Wuyan’s image in her heart was no longer that of a ruthless villain, but a light of righteousness.

    Therefore, Shen Wanqing stared at this righteous light with eyes full of expectation. Her eyes were watery and possessed a hint of cuteness, trying to touch his cold heart with her passionate gaze.

    Xie Wuyan held up his chin and stared at her for a while without blinking, and then looked away calmly as if he hadn’t seen her.

    Failed to touch him.

    “Big Brother Xie.” Shen Wanqing began to coax him, and even made a line of remarks akin to moral blackmailing, “Look, this demon has taken so many lives, you are so chivalrous, kind and just, surely you can’t bear to sit back and ignore all of this, right?”

    But this skill of moral blackmailing was dependent on the target.

    It was obviously not very reliable to morally blackmail a villain.

    So Xie Wuyan said, “I can bear it.”

    Shen Wanqing gave in for a second, and her whole body shrank back, surrendering in a languid manner: “…I’m joking, I’m joking.”

    “Big Brother Xie is ill. It is indeed too difficult to impose this upon him.” Ji Feichen came to the rescue. He thought about it carefully, and finally sighed, “In this case, it’s still me who—”

    “If this lady doesn’t mind, I can accompany you to put on this act.” 

    Cultivator He suddenly interrupted and sat down beside Shen Wanqing. His whole body reeked of alcohol and he collapsed on the chair as if he were boneless, yawning: “I am in this place of debauchery every day. Compared to others, I am the most suitable.”

    Shen Wanqing felt that this was a good idea. She didn’t need to be threatened with death by Xie Wuyan, and she also could prevent Feng Yaoqing from overthinking.

    In an instant, Cultivator He’s image in her eyes was no longer that of an unreliable, shabby Taoist priest. Instead, he became glorious and great.

    She turned around and was so moved that she choked: “It’s too troublesome for you.”

    “No trouble, no trouble at all.” Cultivator He laughed loudly. He glanced at the tower owner who was sitting on the main seat, and then said slowly, “But, head, have you told this group about how those people died?”

    What was the meaning of this?

    As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the head with confusion.

    The tower head frowned slightly, and seemed to find it too difficult to utter: “It’s not too important, but the state of death of those people was very…”

    After thinking for a long time, she slowly uttered a word: “Indecent.”

    It turned out that regardless if it was a customer or a prostitute, almost everyone died suddenly when they were at the peak of their passions; no one knew why.

    There hadn’t even been an indication beforehand.

    When others finally rushed over to check, it was discovered that the victims had long lost their vitality, their bodies decaying at an extremely fast speed.

    After inviting Taoist priests to come and take a look, they discovered that their souls had been sucked away, leaving only an empty shell.

    When Feng Yaoqing heard this, it seemed that the image of the scene was too much, her cheeks were slightly red, and she coughed: “This is preposterous.”

    Cultivator He looked at Shen Wanqing with a smile in his eyes: “So, this is not an easy act to pull off.”

    Shen Wanqing felt that what he said was reasonable: “In this case, let’s go prepare the script together –”

    Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a cold look fall upon her back, like a poisonous snake licking her skin, making her flesh creep.

    Shen Wanqing turned her head stiffly, and met Xie Wuyan’s harsh cold eyes.

    He carried a sense of irritability all over and frowned slightly. Although he didn’t say a word, she could still feel his impatience intuitively.

    This feeling was so strong that Shen Wanqing had no doubt that he would draw a knife and chop someone in the next second.

    Then he really drew his dagger.

    It was so fast that they could not even see his movements. In the blink of an eye, a fierce air current passed through Shen Wanqing’s side.

    She was unharmed, but Cultivator He, who was standing next to her, had a section of his hair chopped off. Even the straps on his tuinga1hair crown were neatly cut off and nailed to the sandalwood screen behind him together with the dagger.

    “Brother Xie! What are you doing!”

    Ji Feichen and the others stood up immediately, all carrying a look of surprise.

    Cultivator He was startled for a good while, a cold sweat breaking out all over.

    Xie Wuyan still kept the same posture as before, without even lifting his eyes. He played with the teacup in his hand refinedly, speaking very slowly: “With this little skill, who can you protect?”

    Cultivator He still felt a little scared after what had happened, and he had sobered up almost immediately. He hesitated and didn’t know what to say. After a long time he choked out a sentence: “You’re, you’re right…”

    Maybe if it had been another person, Cultivator He would have already slammed the table and had a fight with him.

    But he didn’t know why, just from looking at Xie Wuyan, he knew that Xie Wuyan was not somebody he could offend.

    Hearing this, Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing looked at each other and smiled silently at the same time, seeming to understand something.

    However, Shen Wanqing didn’t know why Xie Wuyan was acting weird again. She started to wonder, if Cultivator He were to be scared away, wouldn’t she be forced to join arms with Ji Feichen again?

    So she decided to fight for it: “After all, we’re just trying to catch the demon, and didn’t you disagree~, Cultivator He was just volunteering…”

    “When did I say that I disagree?” Xie Wuyan interrupted.

    Advertisements

    “What?”

    Shen Wanqing was stunned for a moment. She thought about it carefully. Xie Wuyan really hadn’t said the two words, ‘I disagree’, but he had very simply rendered her speechless and intimidated her using his gaze.

    …But didn’t that mean rejection?

    Shen Wanqing felt a bit wronged, but she didn’t dare to talk back.

    However, after thinking about it, although she didn’t know why Xie Wuyan was acting difficult, at least now it seemed like he had agreed to partner-up with her.

    It was a good thing to have a partner who carried a higher degree of safety when around them.

    Thinking about it this way, Shen Wanqing instantly decided to disregard Xie Wuyan’s erratic temper, and was even a little touched. Unexpectedly, this highness was really willing to stoop down and destroy his reputation to act with her.

    So she was very moved and asked for his opinion: “I understand, then do you want to play the brothel customer or the gigolo?”

    Xie Wuyan smiled: “What do you say?”

    The demon capturing plan was to go ahead tomorrow.

    The head of the Full Moon Tower was very generous and gave Shen Wanqing several dresses worn by the oiran2a name given to a prostitute who is very popular and highly regarded, mostly for her beauty.

    She had to say that these dresses were very in line with her modern-day aesthetics. The light silk was backless, which perfectly showed off the curves of her figure.

    Shen Wanqing felt that the benefits of acting in this play was pretty good, and the key was that the script was also simple.

    According to plan, she would follow a group of prostitutes to the main hall to perform a show tomorrow night. The specific arrangement was that the girls would dance in front, and she would just sit on the side to fill up the space and clap for them.

    Afterwards, Xie Wuyan would pay a large amount of money to have her for the night, and then the two of them would sit in the room and play Aeroplane chess for the whole night.

    Shen Wanqing was very familiar with this plot by now.

    “Miss Shen, are you in your room?”

    Outside the door, Jiang Shujun’s voice echoed in.

    “Come in.”

    Jiang Shujun walked in with a bowl of lotus seed soup, speaking softly and bashfully: “Miss Shen, seeing you work so hard today, I asked the cook to borrow their kitchen to make some lotus seed soup. Drink it while it’s hot.”

    As mentioned in the original book, Jiang Shujun had the best cooking skills among all the side female characters.

    The lotus seed soup was hot, and the fragrance wafted all over the room.

    Shen Wanqing took a sip.

    The most delicious thing on this earth!

     “Ah, by the way, I also prepared some to give to Big Brother Ji, so I won’t bother–”

    “Wait, you can’t!”

    Just as Jiang Shujun was about to leave, Shen Wanqing quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, choking on a mouthful of soup, and started to cough one after the other.

    Upon seeing this, Jiang Shujun returned and patted her on the back: “Miss Shen, do you have something to tell me?”

    Shen Wanqing took a breath. She tried to come at it with emotion and reason in order to stifle the admiration that the side character had for the male lead in the bud: “Brother Ji is probably with Sister Feng right now. They usually don’t get much time to be with each other, let them stay together for a while.”

    Jiang Shujun was taken aback, and then she came to a realization. She lowered her head and her voice was a little disappointed: “I see, so the two of them are…”

    “Dao companions!” Shen Wanqing began to fan the flames, and even conjured up a touching story along the way. “They are the type of Dao companions who have been betrothed as children with a very strong relationship and are about to get married next month. However, the two are currently running around all over the place to protect the mortal realm and uphold justice through eliminating demons; they have been through many near life-and-death situations together.”

    “I understand.”

    Jiang Shujun nodded with an expression that looked like she was touched by their beautiful love: “Don’t worry, I won’t go and bother them.”

    Shen Wanqing finally felt at ease, and scooped up a spoonful of lotus seed soup again.

    It looked like this female side character was very easy to fool.

    “What about Big Brother Xie?” Jiang Shujun hesitated for a while before suddenly asking, “Does Big Brother Xie also have a Dao companion?”

    “Pff.”

    Shen Wanqing choked for the second time.

    She took a breath to relieve herself, glanced at Jiang Shujun, and was silent for a long time before asking, “I have a question, it seems that Miss Jiang is very interested in both of them?”

    “Ah, this is because they are courageous and kind, and—”

    Jiang Shujun lowered her head, her cheeks reddening: “Moreover, they are charming and handsome.”

    Shen Wanqing understood now.

    She had a complex for good looks.

    Just like modern young women, she had a complex for good looks wherein her heart would beat and she would be willing to have babies when she laid eyes upon a cool guy.

    Shen Wanqing expressed understanding.

    But she pondered for a while. Although she couldn’t really control someone admiring Xie Wuyan, the situation with Zeng Ziyun had left too deep of a trauma for her.

    What’s more, Xie Wuyan was not an easy person to provoke. If she gave Jiang Shujun hope, it could end up causing trouble for herself.

    Shen Wanqing felt that she still had to crush this spark of love.

    She had to find an excuse.

    After searching for a long time, she finally thought of a more suitable reason.

    Shen Wanqing was about to say it out loud, but as if she had suddenly remembered something, she stood up and walked to the door secretively. She opened the door and looked both left and right.

    Very good, there was no one here.

    Xie Wuyan was not around.

    “Miss Shen, this is…” Jiang Shujun looked at her with a puzzled expression.

    After confirming that Xie Wuyan was not here, Shen Wanqing walked back, held Jiang Shujun’s hand, and said sincerely: “I don’t want to lie to you, Big Brother Xie and I are actually…inextricably linked.”

     “What link?”

    “He has a crush on me.” Shen Wanqing said.

    The implication was clear.

    You probably did not stand a chance anymore.

    Jiang Shujun: “Then are you Dao companions?”

    “No.” Shen Wanqing sighed, “There are many reasons, you don’t understand, we are involved in the cultivation world, there are many things that are out of our hands.”

    Jiang Shujun was taken aback for a moment, and then showed an expression of understanding: “I understand, you must love each other, but unfortunately your families are against it so that’s why you both are in love but cannot disclose it?”

    “…” Shen Wanqing paused and decided to give up explaining, “You can comprehend it like that.”

    “I see.” Jiang Shujun held Shen Wanqing’s hand, moved by their love story, “I will support you.”

    “…thanks.”

    That’s it, Shen Wanqing looked at Jiang Shujun leaving and breathed a sigh of relief.

    This side female character was actually quite easy to communicate with.

    After resolving the matter with this important side character, Shen Wanqing was instantly happy.

    She hummed happily, walked to the window happily, and opened the window happily—

    Then, she happened to stare eye to eye with Xuanniao, who had smelled the scent of the lotus seed soup and had flown over to come eat some of it.

    Shen Wanqing: “…”

    After being silent for a while, Xuanniao flew in the direction of Xie Wuyan’s room, flapping its wings while huffing and puffing: “Your Royal Highness! This woman has disrespected you!”

      Shen Wanqing you should learn your lesson by now that you can’t pull one over on Xie Wuyan! Just let others think you are crushing on him and he will protect you regardless! But anyways he should be flattered that she’s trying to keep other women away from him 💁 Thanks for the chapter!!

        Hey! Sorry about that. So if you’re on iPhone, you can go Settings->Clear history and website data. If you’re on a laptop and using chrome for example, search up ‘clear cache google chrome’ and it’ll lead you to do that. That should fix the problem. If not, you can try another device or another browser. Hope that helps!
