Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 10: Saintess Liu, you shake so violently, I'm so scared.

"Is your brain full of holes? The one who harmed your senior sister is the Midnight Butcher, what does it have to do with me!"

Qin Luo felt more wronged than Dou E. He was originally enjoying himself in the Prime Minister's Mansion, listening to music and playing with the little maidservants. He was inexplicably kidnapped by Liu Chengyin, and his life and death were controlled by others. Clearly, he was the biggest victim.

Xiao Yan remained silent, already sentencing Qin Luo to death in his heart. Regardless of the process, he would definitely kill Qin Luo in the end. His eyes stared straight at the direction Liu Chengyin flew away.

Seeing Xiao Yan not speaking, Qin Luo knew he wouldn't give up guarding him. He couldn't be bothered to waste his breath with an idiot and also looked towards the distance, hoping to see Liu Chengyin return safely.

Among Liu Chengyin, the Midnight Butcher, and Xiao Yan, if Qin Luo had to choose a kidnapping target, he would definitely choose Liu Chengyin. As long as he didn't do anything out of line, Liu Chengyin wouldn't harm him.

The waiting time was the most difficult to endure. After about half an incense stick's worth of time, a figure finally appeared on the horizon. The other party's speed was as fast as lightning, wearing a white dress that fluttered in the wind. Fortunately, she was wearing pants underneath, otherwise she would have been exposed.

"Sister is back!"

Both Xiao Yan and Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liu Chengyin doesn't seem right. Could it be that she didn't get the antidote?"

Qin Luo noticed that Liu Chengyin's face was pale and her body swayed unsteadily while flying. The relief he just felt instantly tensed up again.

"Sister, did you kill the Midnight Butcher?"

Xiao Yan's face showed joy as he flew forward to greet her.

Liu Chengyin shook her head, "No, he knows secret techniques, I couldn't catch up to him."

Xiao Yan's expression froze.

"Oh no! Sister, what about the poison on your body..."

"Stop talking, let's leave here first. The Midnight Butcher's injuries are not fatal, he will recover soon."

Liu Chengyin interrupted and waved her jade hand towards Qin Luo. A large amount of spiritual energy surged out, forcibly sucking Qin Luo into her palm, grabbing him by the back of his collar and flying high into the sky.

"Saintess Liu, be gentle, don't be so rough."

As soon as Qin Luo was brought up into the sky by Liu Chengyin, he began to experience acrophobia. If he didn't have to pretend to be tied up, he would definitely hold onto Liu Chengyin and not let go.

"Sister, wait for me!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly followed behind Liu Chengyin, "If you can't catch up to the Midnight Butcher, what about the poison in you? The Midnight Butcher just said that within an hour, you will lose your sanity and die."

Qin Luo interjected, reminding them, "It's been over half an hour now, there's not enough time for you to die."

Liu Chengyin clenched her teeth and barely held on, "It's fine, I can suppress the poison."

Xiao Yan worriedly asked, "Can you really suppress it, Sister?"

Sweat dripped from Liu Chengyin's forehead as she weakly gasped for breath, "I... can..."

"Can my foot! Saintess Liu, you shake so violently, I'm so scared!"

Qin Luo interrupted again. When Liu Chengyin grabbed the back of his collar, her grip would loosen and tighten, and her shaking was more intense than a bungee jumping machine. It gave Qin Luo the feeling that he could be dropped from the sky at any moment, scaring him out of his wits.

"Don't... move." Liu Chengyin struggled to make the request, word by word.

Qin Luo became even more terrified upon hearing this, almost crying without tears, "I didn't move, it's all you shaking, Saintess Liu!"

Only at this moment did Xiao Yan realize that Liu Chengyin was swaying and struggling, and he was about to take over Qin Luo to share the burden for her. Unexpectedly, Liu Chengyin suddenly felt numb all over her body, and her hand holding Qin Luo's collar weakly let go, causing him to plummet in mid-air.

"Oh my god!!"

Qin Luo was almost scared to death. He didn't care about pretending to be tied up anymore. Reflexively, he reached out and tightly wrapped his arms around Liu Chengyin's slender waist.

"Hmph."

Liu Chengyin, already affected by the poison, was somewhat disoriented. Qin Luo's chaotic embrace became the final straw that broke her. She let out a whimper, trembling, and together with Qin Luo, they fell towards the dense forest below.

"Sister!"

Xiao Yan was shocked. He never expected that Liu Chengyin would be so severely injured that she couldn't even maintain her flight. He quickly dove down to chase after them.

When he passed through the dense forest, the scene of Liu Chengyin and Qin Luo rolling on the grassland came into view.

Just before they landed, Liu Chengyin glided with Qin Luo, so they both landed without any major injuries. After Qin Luo's dizziness subsided, he realized that he was pressing Liu Chengyin beneath him. She was breathing lightly, afraid of being crushed. He quickly helped her up and leaned her against a tree.

"Get away!"

Xiao Yan saw Qin Luo and Liu Chengyin in such an intimate contact, while he had admired Liu Chengyin for over ten years without even touching her hand. Instantly, jealousy ignited within him, and he kicked Qin Luo away.

"Sister, are you okay?"

He squatted down and asked with concern.

"I'm heavily poisoned..."

Liu Chengyin, at this moment, couldn't pretend to be strong anymore. The poison was overwhelming, and her beautiful face became pale like gold paper. Her speech was intermittent.

"The Midnight Butcher will catch up soon... Take Qin Luo back to the sect as soon as possible. It will be safe once you're back at the sect..."

"No! Sister, you'll be fine. I'll take you back to Sunset Cloud Valley and have Master save you!" Xiao Yan cried with tears streaming down his face, his mind filled with every little detail of his time spent with Liu Chengyin.

Their paths in the game were completely different. Qin Luo initially had no intention of pursuing Liu Chengyin; he just wanted to rely on Master Hua Ruoxian. But unintentionally, he got involved with Liu Chengyin.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, had admired Liu Chengyin since childhood and tried every possible way to pursue her, but to no avail.

"No need to take me. I can't be saved... The Midnight Butcher is fast. It's already difficult for you to take Qin Luo back to the sect." Liu Chengyin shook her head with the last of her strength.

"I must take Sister back!"

Xiao Yan wiped away the tears on his face and firmly said, "If Sister can't return to the sect, then I won't go back either. Sister and I will live and die together!"

Liu Chengyin smiled slightly, a smile as stunning as a blooming orchid.

When the poison took effect, she knew she couldn't return to Sunset Cloud Valley alive. In order to lighten Xiao Yan's burden and increase their chances of escape, she only hoped that Xiao Yan could bring Qin Luo back to the sect. But if Xiao Yan had the ability to bring her back to Sunset Cloud Valley for burial, that would naturally be the best.

"If you want to take me, then take me..."

"Junior brother, I know you hate Qin Luo, but you really can't harm him... Promise me that you will bring him back safely..." Xiao Yan cried bitterly, "Sister, I promise you! I promise you everything!"

Qin Luo, listening to all this, felt a mix of emotions. He never expected that at the moment of Liu Chengyin's imminent death, the person she was most concerned about was him. She even gave countless instructions to Xiao Yan for his sake, which deeply moved him.

Of course, if he ignored the fact that he was kidnapped by Liu Chengyin, Qin Luo would be even more touched.

"Junior brother, you must grow up quickly and share the burden for Master. I hope you take good care of yourself..." Liu Chengyin's eyes slowly closed.
