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

Chapter 39

“…Cultivator Xie’s eyes were gloomy, his hands were trembling constantly, and his eyes were red, so angry that they seemed to pop out. His whole body exuded a frightening aura like a Shura ghost. He deepened his voice, making everyone around him shudder: ‘Don’t worry, I’ll make the one who hurt you pay with their life.’ After saying that, he stood up, ‘I must find the mastermind behind this all and skin him alive…'”

“Alright, alright.” Shen Wanqing was not in the mood to drink the white fungus soup. She put down the bowl in her hand and interrupted Jiang Shujun’s eloquent recitation.

Originally, she had just asked casually, “What happened after I passed out that night?”, but Jiang Shujun created a romance novel for her on the spot.

She even suspected that the novel she had read before called “Love in Heartless Valley” had been written by Jiang Shujun under a pen name.

Jiang Shujun said with a grin, “Although it’s a little exaggerated, it looks like Young Master Xie really does like you a lot.”

Shen Wanqing choked on a mouthful of white fungus soup, coughing so much that her tears almost came out.

Xie Wuyan liked her?

The guy who was mad at her for the whole night after she made a joke, liked her?

“Listening to your words, before the new owner, there must have been a lot of things that had happened?”

“That’s true.” Jiang Shujun said, “The Full Moon Tower was not so famous before, it was just an ordinary brothel, and the family of the Governor’s wife didn’t take much care of this place. At the time, the Full Moon Tower did not treat the girls in the brothel very well, after all, they had been sold here either by their parents or by human traffickers…”

Having said that, she paused for a moment, and her eyes looked extremely desolate for a moment.

Jiang Shujun had also been sold to the brothel by her parents, so it was inevitable that she felt some empathy.

Shen Wanqing didn’t speak, just patted her hand lightly.

Jiang Shujun shook her head with a smile on her face, and then continued: “Apart from that, most of them are orphans, etc. Usually, they either beat or scold them, or just toss them to the customers. I heard people say that there were many girls at the time who were worked to death by those customers.”

“Death?” Shen Wanqing was startled, “What kinds of girls?”

“Too many to count, this kind of thing happened too many times in a year.” Jiang Shujun sighed, “Those girls suffered a difficult fate, most of them were wrapped in straw mats and then thrown into the wilderness. Since they didn’t have anyone to rely on, no one cared if they died.”

“I understand now.” Shen Wanqing was deep in thought.

Jiang Shujun: “Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. You just follow Sister Feng’s instructions and take a good rest for these next few days.”

After speaking, she patted her skirt and prepared to leave.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a clang.

“Young Master Xu?” Jiang Shujun asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Xu Ziyin, who had been eavesdropping at the door, was caught red-handed. However, he still stretched his neck and looked in: “Ah, I’m here to visit…”

“Miss Shen is asleep.”

“But I just heard her voice!”

“That’s her talking in her dream.”

“You’re lying!”

Just like that, the two walked away while tugging at each other.

After Xu Ziyin discovered that Jiang Shujun had a talent for writing, he pestered her every day to teach him how to write love poems, but he really had no talent in this regard.

After the Governor read a few of his works, he sent someone to take away all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in Xu Ziyin’s room overnight, and very sincerely suggested that he stop trying to create and just stay at home with his inherited money.

But this did not dispel Xu Ziyin’s creative passion, so he began to sneak into Jiang Shujun’s room every day, and the two of them would close all the doors and windows so he could secretly learn poetry.

After knowing her past, he let her stay at his residence to be his teacher without hesitation.

Shen Wanqing felt that Jiang Shujun had a secret crush on Xu Ziyin. After all, he was a bit handsome, and he was very supportive. Every day, he praised her saying that her novels were good, even ignoring that he was a malicious side male lead in the story.

But Jiang Shujun not only refused to admit it, she was so angry that she never sent pastry cakes to Shen Wanqing ever again. She even cut out a lot of her scenes in the novel “Me and my Benefactors” without hesitation.

Shen Wanqing reasonably suspected that Jiang Shujun was being bashful.

But she was still very grateful to Jiang Shujun for cutting out her scenes.

Very few people remembered the real name of the Governor’s original wife, most of them called her Xiu Niang.

It was said that Xiu Niang was very beautiful and her embroidery work was exquisite, so everyone would call her Xiu Niang, Xiu Niang.1Xiu means Embroidery, Niang can mean Lady in this context

Xiu Niang and her hunter father were the only two in the family. Later, she married the Governor who was still a poor scholar at the time. She didn’t take a single penny from the dowry. She even hurt one of her eyes from embroidering to save up money to give to the Governor so that he could go and sit the Imperial Exam.

Later, on a snowy night, despite his old bones, Xiu Niang’s father went up the mountain to hunt in order to get some food to nourish Xiu Niang’s body after she had just given birth. However, he slipped and slid down the mountain slope, dying on the spot.

Xiu Niang didn’t see her father come back, and there was no one at home to help, so she could only go up the mountain herself with a lantern to search for him. After a whole night of searching, she only ended up finding his ice cold corpse that had been completely buried by the snow.

She sat next to the corpse and cried for a long time, then stood up and carried her father’s body step by step in order to bury him back home. But she was weak and she carried him on her back for a long time, walking and resting continuously.

Then, halfway down the mountain, she found a Taoist priest who was on his last breath.

If she left him there, he could die at any moment.

Xiu Niang thought about it for a long time, but in the end, she couldn’t watch a living person die in front of her, so she kowtowed in front of her father’s body and brought the Taoist priest home first.

When she went back, her father’s body was long gone. Maybe it had been carried away by a wolf, or blown down the mountain by the snowstorm.

No one had ever seen this Taoist priest, and apparently once he was healed, he left.

The people in the village were gossipy, all scolding Xiu Niang for being foolish, not taking care of her father’s remains and saving a stranger instead. What’s worse, she didn’t get anything out of it at all. 

Xiu Niang only smiled.

Later on, one morning, Xiu Niang entrusted her son to the care of a neighborhood aunt, and went to the market to sell her embroidery. However, she never came back.

No one knew where she went, some said that she ran away with a man to live a better life, and some said that she may have fallen into the lake after slipping.

Later, the Governor brought his people down to the village and searched high and low everywhere to find her. But in the end, he couldn’t find Xiu Niang, so he could only take his son back to the capital.

These were all the information that Ji Feichen and his party had come to find out after they rushed to the village where the Governor’s original wife had stayed.

Feng Yaoqing pondered about the story and frowned: “You say, the Taoist priest that Xiu Niang rescued, do you think it’s Cultivator He? But if it is him, why would he recommend us to the Governor?”

“Maybe because there is someone in our group who he is interested in. Once the Dream Eating Demon had been eliminated, we would not stay any longer, so he needed to cause a situation to make an excuse for us to stay.”

Ji Feichen: “Perhaps, he is doing this for Wanqing.”

Shen Wanqing, who was far away in the Governor’s residence, was sitting on the bed eating a peach pastry and sneezed.

…why do I keep smelling the need for me to be a tool for somebody.

It was windy that night.

The thatched hut was originally in tatters, but when the wind blew past like this, the hay on the roof was neatly lifted up.

The room was filled with a strong aura of death, and there was a faint glow of fire.

The candles were neatly arranged in the shape of a matrix, and a jade pendant was placed in the center of the matrix.

Cultivator He was sitting there, reeking of alcohol all over, resting his head on the back of the chair and sleeping soundly.

The wind jumped in through the cracks of the window, blowing the candles.

Cultivator He opened his eyes: “I haven’t used the Blood Crane for a long time, but I knew that you would be here tonight, so I made special preparations. If I die, the Blood Crane will fly out, and everyone in the world, including the Heavenly Dao Palace and the cultivators you are with, will all know that you are here.”

Xie Wuyan put his hands on his knees and sat on the windowsill, throwing a pebble up and down in his hand: “Really?” His tone sounded indifferent, instead, he let out a self-deprecating laugh, “Then what?”

The cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Palace had their own set of cultivation techniques. 

Others couldn’t tell, but Xie Wuyan could clearly distinguish the difference between the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Palace and the disciples of other sects when they casted spells.

“That sentence last night, I could tell that Young Master Xie was warning me.” Cultivator He laughed and sat up straight, “But coincidentally, although I have never seen you before, I knew what the Sealing Curse looked like. Yes. The shape of the Heart Locking Curse and the Sealing Curse do look the same, but the patterns are completely different.”

Xie Wuyan raised his eyes.

“You were too impatient to save that young lady last night, so I recognized the Sealing Curse on your body just from a glance.”

Cultivator He walked in front of him and rubbed his messy hair: “Young Master Xie didn’t actually need to come here, I heard that the Dao companion have already gone to the Zhang Village. Not much longer, they will be able to guess the situation. “

“But they have no evidence, so they will probably use Miss Shen to lure me out.” Cultivator He squinted and smiled, “Master Xie, am I right?”

Xie Wuyan still seemed to lack interest.

He politely let Cultivator He finish expressing his thoughts and feelings, then nodded perfunctorily, raised his hand, and choked the back of his neck neatly.

Indeed.

According to normal logic, Ji Feichen and the others were likely to do so.

But Xie Wuyan didn’t like to use Shen Wanqing as bait.

Even if he knew deep down that she wouldn’t die.

He didn’t like to spend a lot of time on things that could be solved by strangling directly to death.

Cultivator He was lifted off the ground, his face flushed red.

Of course he knew that with his own strength, taking down Xie Wuyan was completely hopeless, but he still gritted his teeth and said word by word: “I, I know, how to find the Solitary Light Sword.”

Solitary Light Sword.

The one that had once sealed Xie Wuyan.

The author has something to say: “Me and My Benefactors”

Until that day, I didn’t know the reason why Miss Shen and Master Xie could not talk about their relationship despite being deeply in love.

It turns out that Miss Shen’s elder brother, Master Ji, used to be archenemies with the Xie family. The relationship between the two families was tense, they were like oil and water. This was because their ancestors had been entangled with each other for three generations already, and every one of their fights were a life-and-death struggle.

But who would have thought that one day, Miss Shen would meet Master Xie, a chivalrous and courageous man, and the two would fall in love, secretly beginning their relationship.

However, once Master Ji knew about this, he ruthlessly locked Miss Shen inside her room:

 “How can you be with him! Have you forgotten the hatred of our ancestors for three generations?”

“If you insist on falling in love with him, you will shame all of our ancestors of the Ji family.”

In the end, love could not withhold reality.

Miss Shen and Master Xie had to break up. But, who would have thought that they would reunite again in the cultivation realm so many years later?

The two clearly loved each other, but because of her elder brother, they couldn’t talk about their love openly, they could only pretend to be ordinary friends. But again and again, the distant but polite smiles cut into their hearts like a knife.

It wasn’t until that day when Miss Shen was seriously injured, that Master Xie couldn’t contain his surging feelings anymore. His eyes were gloomy, his hands were trembling constantly, and his eyes were red, so angry that they seemed to pop out. His whole body exuded a frightening aura like a Shura ghost. 

Master Ji wanted to get close, but he pushed him away. Master Xie grabbed his collar and said, “If she dies, I will bury you all with her.”

To be continued]

The first page of this book had a written recommendation from Xu Ziyin personally: “This book is sincere in emotion and delicate in writing, which makes people continue to reminisce after reading it, feeling deeply distressed by the love-hate entanglement between the two. As a character myself, who had a former crush on the female lead, I was still moved by the love between them. By the way, I advise Master Ji, arranged marriage is an old-fashioned way of thinking! I firmly despise it!”

After reading this chapter, Ji Feichen wanted to strangle Jiang Shujun to death, but remembered that he was a bright and upright male lead who could not OOC, so he hugged his own waist and stopped himself.
