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

Chapter 6

The joys and sorrows in the world are not interlinked.

For example, the pair of good brothers not too far away were happily talking and laughing while drinking. On the other hand, Shen Wanqing, who was hiding behind the tree, was so heartbroken that she almost vomited out all her blood while holding onto her chest.

What’s more, Ji Feichen felt so deeply sorry for Xie Wuyan’s experience, that he even invited him to go slay demons with them.

Really, I should just kill myself.

Shen Wanqing thought about it and felt that continuing to stay here would be tantamount to murder. Rather than expecting Ji Feichen to come to his senses, it was better to go back to her room to eat some sweet osmanthus cakes and enjoy her last happy moments.

However, just as she was about to sneak away, she suddenly heard Ji Feichen say: “Master Xie, in all honesty, I have something to ask of you.”

Something to ask of Xie Wuyan?

Ask what?

Xie Wuyan rubbed the edge of the chess piece with his fingers, his lips were slightly curved: “Okay.”

Shen Wanqing: …hope was extinguished.

“Thank you for your help Master Xie.” Ji Feichen thanked him.

“You don’t have to thank me.” Xie Wuyan paused, his eyes turned slightly, and he glanced at Shen Wanqing’s hiding place as if it was unintentional, “After all, Miss Shen also saved my life.”

From just before, he was already aware of Shen Wanqing’s presence. For him, this was a very poor hiding technique. What’s more, she couldn’t even control her own scent.

Xie Wuyan thought it was funny. He really couldn’t figure out who had sent such a little girl to assassinate him. How much did they really look down on him?

Shen Wanqing felt a shock in her body, so she hid further behind the tree.

However, Xie Wuyan’s expression didn’t seem like he had noticed anything. He just calmly retracted his gaze and said in a monotone voice: “A drop of water in need shall be returned with a spring in deed1This is a proverb that means a small favour shall be repaid with great gratitude and kindness..”

This was not the tone of repaying kindness.

This was clearly the tone of a death warning.

Shen Wanqing discovered that those who were good at chess all had dirty hearts2means someone who uses dirty calculative tricks.

After a game of chess, Ji Feichen hurried to visit Feng Yaoqing.

Shen Wanqing also took advantage of the timing of the maids clearing away the tea and chess pieces to sneak away quietly.

But before she could take a step, a male voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

His voice was so close that it almost stuck to Shen Wanqing’s ears, and she could even feel his breath lightly beating upon her earlobes; that slightly numbing touch made one shudder.

“Where are you going?”

Shen Wanqing trembled all over, feeling her scalp tingle. She quickly leaned to the side and hugged her arms subconsciously, looking at Xie Wuyan nervously with an alert look.

Xie Wuyan slowly raised his hand, his fingertips lightly pressed between her eyebrows. His tone clearly sounded like he was wanting to laugh, but it made one shudder: “Eavesdropping?”

At this time, saying something like, ‘I had just happened to pass by’ was the most unconvincing explanation.

Shen Wanqing didn’t have a lot of strengths except being quick-witted – she was a fast and creative learner who was good with her words.

She blinked her eyes a few times, and said almost without stopping: “You see, I ate a lot of sweet osmanthus cakes today, so I was just taking a stroll to help strengthen the stomach and promote digestion, then suddenly I saw you and Brother Ji playing chess. I saw Master Xie’s steady and righteous chess style that really suited your heroic demeanor, I couldn’t help but be filled with utter admiration, so I stayed to look longer. I didn’t mean to overhear, I’m just very interested in chess.”

An impeccable response.

It not only praised Xie Wuyan, but also highlighted her innocence and sincerity.

Xie Wuyan was quiet for a while, and suddenly understood why someone would send such a girl who didn’t have any use to assassinate him. Now that he thought about it, it was probably because the person above her disliked her for her loose-mouth, so they used this sort of method as a death sentence.

It wasn’t that they looked down on him, they probably just thought this person talked too much.

“Admire me?” he repeated.

Shen Wanqing nodded: “Yes, yes.”

Xie Wuyan: “Interested in chess?”

Shen Wanqing continued to nod her head: “Yes, yes, yes.”

Xie Wuyan stared at her for a long time, then nodded his head back: “All right then, I will play chess with Miss Shen.”

After speaking, he raised his hand to block the maid who was about to clear away the chessboard, bent over and sat down, making a gesture for her to come over

There was no heart as poisonous as the villain’s heart.

Shen Wanqing knew just by closing her eyes that Xie Wuyan was making it clear to her that he knew she was lying, and he was ready to cruelly expose and humiliate her. It was no wonder that he was worthy of being the villain who destroyed the human realm to dust with just one hand, his methods definitely tortured one’s heart.

Not even knowing the rules of Go3a type of chess invented in China more than 2,500 years ago, Shen Wanqing stubbornly wanted to resist: “…that would be too troublesome for Master Xie, it would tug at my conscience.”

Of course Xie Wuyan knew what Shen Wanqing was thinking about. His tone sounded lazy but it also seemed like he was going to laugh, clearly teasing her, he said, “If it’s Miss Shen, I am of course willing to accompany you to play.”

Fine.

Shen Wanqing took a deep breath and smiled: “I’m fine to play chess, but Go is not a chess type that I know how to play.”

Xie Wuyan looked up at her: “Then let’s play what you know.”

Shen Wanqing: “What I know, Master Xie may not necessarily know.”

Xie Wuyan chuckled: “I’m afraid Miss Shen you underestimate me.”

“All right.” Shen Wanqing sat down, simply decided to act recklessly since the situation was hopeless, “Let’s play Aeroplane chess4Aeroplane Chess is a cross-and-circle chess board game in China that is similar to Ludo..”

Xie Wuyan: “…?”

Relying on the fact that Aeroplane chess was unheard of here, Shen Wanqing successfully escaped from Xie Wuyan.

In order to appear reasonable before escaping, she even educated him righteously: “Master Xie, you still need to go out and understand more about the walks of all life. How could you not know Aeroplane chess, a chess game that can cultivate one’s taste and moral character?”

Xie Wuyan supported his chin with his hand and watched Shen Wanqing flee in a hurry. It wasn’t until the figure disappeared in front of him, did he lower his eyelashes and stretch out his hand to flick the black chess piece in front of him in a bored manner.

And Shen Wanqing, who had just made a getaway, after a lot of deliberation, decided to go and linger around the protagonists out of fear of the unpredictable Xie Wuyan coming to snap her neck in half.

After all, Xie Wuyan still had to continue to pretend to be a good young man in front of the two, no matter what he wouldn’t kill her in front of them.

Thinking about this, Shen Wanqing decided to temporarily abandon the task of matchmaking the male and female lead, in order to protect her small life, she was willing to be the thirdwheel.

However, at this moment, there was a strange noise from the bushes behind her, mixed with a wisp of cold air.

Shen Wanqing seemed to be unaware of this, and kept walking along the path towards Feng Yaoqing’s room.

The path was covered by the shade of the trees, and the rustle of the leaves when the wind blew was especially clear.

The demon that had been in hiding for a long time finally couldn’t hold back, it broke out of the wind, bringing along a strong current and impact, and struck straight towards Shen Wanqing’s back.

“Bang!”

Just when that gust of demonic power was about to touch Shen Wanqing’s back, a huge barrier appeared out of nowhere, and it was smashed abruptly.

The power that was smashed apart created a strong spiritual energy that shook the leaves around them.

Shen Wanqing’s white dress fluttered, and her hair was blown up by the strong wind, revealing a section of her snowy white neck, her tall posture faintly visible.

She stopped, turned her head and looked behind her, she didn’t seem to be surprised at all. The bracelet on her wrist was still faintly glowing red, flashing a few times before dissipating and returning to its original appearance.

As an influential family that produced generations and generations of demon eliminators, the Ji family had many magical weapons to protect themselves.

The magic weapon Shen Wanqing originally possessed had been shattered by the Painted Skin Ghost. Ji Feichen took this bracelet from his own wrist and gave it to her. It was more than enough to deal with small demons.

She stepped forward, squatted down to where the monster had fallen, and looked at it leisurely while supporting her chin.

It was a bird that had attacked her

Its feathers were a bit grey, it looked very small and had a very round head, like a pigeon.

From just before, Shen Wanqing had felt something strange behind her.

She was very familiar with this kind of atmosphere, it was the exact cold aura exuded by Xie Wuyan when he was seriously wounded and had just awoken, ready to kill her.

However, this aura was much weaker compared to Xie Wuyan, probably not even one-thousandth of a percent close.

Simply put, she didn’t even need to look to know it was a weakling.

So Shen Wanqing didn’t even want to expend effort to run and escape.

But how could such an ordinary demon be able to rashly enter the Xuantian Sect?

She estimated that before even entering the doors, its soul would’ve been immediately knocked to shreds by the highly guarded security.

Shen Wanqing recalled the plot of the original story for a while, and then suddenly remembered that when Xie Wuyan joined the Demon Slayer squad, he had a close pet next to him, it was a Xuanniao5the Xuanniao is a mythical divine bird that is said to resemble a swallow in its original form, it is thought to look like this: .

It is said that apparently before Xie Wuyan was sealed, this Xuanniao was his right hand man.

However, due to Xie Wuyan being in hibernation due to being sealed, the spiritual power of Xuanniao mostly dissipated. Only until the seal was lifted did the bird smell the scent of Xie Wuyan and follow him over here.

So at this stage, this Xuanniao was purely a little weakling who could speak. And because most of its spiritual power had dissipated, its aura was very weak. In addition, the Xuanniao clan were not demons, but a kind of ancient divine bird, so it was not discovered by the Xuantian Sect.

Shen Wanqing stretched out her hand and lifted the bird’s leg, showing an expression of disgust.

It looked a lot like a pigeon.

Then the pigeon began to babble: “You used a magical weapon! Despicable! Who are you and why do you carry the scent of my master? Tell me quickly! Where is my master now? I’m telling you now, wait until I regain my true form, I will definitely take your life. How could someone from the weak human race provoke the Xuanniao clan! I tell you… uhhhhh!”

Shen Wanqing felt that it was a bit noisy, so she simply tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped this stupid pigeon’s mouth shut, tied its legs and wings as well, placed it into her hands, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

What a joke.

How could she not take advantage of this situation to deal with Xie Wuyan’s pet?

She couldn’t beat Xie Wuyan but surely she could beat this pigeon?

The bird struggled desperately, “Goo goo ga ga!!”

Shen Wanqing: “Oh, is that the case, let me tell you in advance, I’m going to stew you.”

I’ll give the pigeon soup to Feng Yaoqing, surely it can advance our friendship quickly, she thought.

Xuanniao: “??!”
