I am the villain in the book

As mentioned before, the story of Yan Huanwen and Su Xiu is, to some extent, very similar to the story of Li Qi and Li Wutong's birth mother.

Both are tragic love affairs between a human emperor and a demoness, and both end in misfortune.

However, there are also many differences between the two.

Besides the fact that Li Qi's old flame was a deer demon, and she is now long dead, the biggest difference lies in the process of 'love turning to hate'.

Li Qi chose to 'break up' because he ascended the throne and became emperor, fearing that if the matter were exposed, the Li family would become a laughingstock to the world.

Furthermore, Yu Pingjun only gradually discovered Li Qi's scandalous affair after the deer demon died.

But Yan Huanwen was different.

Such great humiliation was enough to destroy the dignity of any woman, even a demoness.

And from beginning to end, Yan Huanwen did not say a word for her.

The vows of eternal love ultimately could not withstand the position of a king.

The more Su Xiu loved Yan Huanwen, the more she hated this man from then on.

Even though the latter eventually arranged for someone to rescue her from the heavenly prison the day before the execution, and even launched a war to help her become the master of White Spirit Mountain.

But this hatred had already taken root in her heart and could not be erased in this lifetime.

The above is the story Su Xiu told Wei Changtian.

The story about her and Yan Huanwen.

"Splash, splash, splash, splash!"

Outside the window, the waterfall flowed down the knife-cut cliff, like a green dragon spitting saliva, splashing water droplets and scattering among the mountains.

Inside the house, there was a long silence, with only a red-eyed woman and a thoughtful man.

Su Xiu told the whole story intermittently for almost half an hour, and even paused several times because of choking.

Wei Changtian could hear the desolation and humiliation in her words, and coupled with the fact that this kind of thing was easy to verify, he did not doubt the truth of the story.

It's just that if this is the reason Su Xiu wants to help Da Ning, it always feels like something is missing...

"Demon Queen."

After a long silence, Wei Changtian poured himself a glass of wine and said softly:

"If I understand correctly, your current position as Demon Queen was actually obtained with the help of Yan Huanwen's troops."

"Whether he did it out of guilt or reached some agreement with the empress, he did help you."

"If you really hate him that much, why would you accept this charity?"

"And forgive me for speaking frankly, I only heard sadness in your words just now, but I didn't hear hatred."

"So... do you really hate him?"

Playing with the wine cup in his hand, Wei Changtian's tone was calm, but the last sentence made Su Xiu's body tremble slightly.

She slowly raised her head, sneering with red eyes:

"Young Master Wei, do you think there is any woman in the world who wouldn't hate after experiencing something like this?"

"I don't know."

Wei Changtian curled his lips, his tone playful: "After all, I'm not a woman, am I?"

"You!"

Su Xiu suddenly stood up, seemingly very angry at Wei Changtian's attitude.

"Okay! Then what exactly do I have to do for you to believe me?!"

"Demon Queen, that's for you to ask yourself."

Wei Changtian still sat firmly on the chair, looking at Su Xiu with a smile.

"It's you who wants to prove to me that you really hate Yan Huanwen, otherwise how would I dare to help you?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, with only the sound of rushing water outside the window.

Su Xiu bit her lip tightly, her chest rising and falling with her breath.

Then, at a certain moment, she suddenly untied the belt around her waist without warning, and the elegant white dress fell to the ground.

"Young Master Wei, would you like to see my body?"

Looking into Wei Changtian's eyes, Su Xiu's tone was very indifferent.

"Even if you want, it's not impossible for me to serve you here once."

"If I still had Yan Huanwen in my heart, I probably wouldn't do such a thing, would I?"

"..."

Skin like congealed fat, white and tender like frost.

Su Xiu was now only wearing a close-fitting shirt with bare shoulders, and most of her skin and perfect figure were directly exposed to Wei Changtian's eyes.

Although the places that shouldn't be exposed were not, for the women of this world, it was no different from being completely naked.

Taking off her clothes at the slightest disagreement, coupled with such a calm expression...

Just as she said, if she had not completely given up on the word 'love', she would never have done such a self-deprecating thing; if she did not hate Yan Huanwen to the extreme, she would never have offered herself to a man she had only met for the first time in order to take revenge.

So, according to the current situation, everything Su Xiu said before should be true.

However, Wei Changtian's reaction was a bit intriguing.

"Okay."

Smiling and uttering two words, his gaze fell on Su Xiu's stunning face.

"Then let's start as you said."

"S-Start?"

"That's right, didn't you say that as long as I want, you will serve me here?"

Wei Changtian slowly stood up, squinting his eyes and walking towards Su Xiu step by step: "Then come on, as long as you do it, I guarantee you can kill Yan Huanwen with your own hands."

"How about it?"

"This deal is so worthwhile, isn't it exactly what you want?"

"..."

The distance between the two was not far to begin with, so Wei Changtian had already walked close to Su Xiu while speaking.

But at this moment, the latter subconsciously took half a step back.

With this half step back, Wei Changtian had the answer in his heart.

"Demon Queen..."

Smiling, he drew his sword.

Wei Changtian looked at the stunning face in front of him, his expression gradually turning cold.

He held the Leoying against Su Xiu's pale neck, shook his head and said softly:

"You're too anxious."

"Or rather, you haven't figured out one thing."

"If a person really hates another person, there is no need to prove it to others."

"The more you want to prove it, the more fake it is."

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

"And the person I want is actually not on the road at all, but is in this White Spirit Mountain, right?"

The tip of the sword reflected the midday sun, and drops of blood slid down the blade, adding clusters of red flowers to the scattered white dress on the ground.

Su Xiu widened her eyes, staring blankly at the man in front of her who was like a demon, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't know when Wei Changtian began to suspect her, only knew that she had already fallen into the latter's trap, and then was forced into a dead end step by step.

"W-What are you going to do?"

Having only transformed for more than thirty years, and having spent most of her time on White Spirit Mountain, Su Xiu was definitely not a very scheming woman, so when the pretense of composure was exposed, all that remained was fear.

She asked a question with difficulty, wanting to maintain her aura as the Demon Queen.

However, Wei Changtian only sneered, his tone full of disdain.

"What to do?"

"First, answer my question just now truthfully."

"Second, bring the person I want to me unharmed."

"If you fail to do any of these two things, I will not only take your life."

"But also make your White Spirit Mountain be removed from the Fourteen Demon Territories from now on."
