Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 15: 15: Am I infatuated with Saintess Liu? Is there a problem?

Liu Chengyin was not intimidated by Qin Luo's angry scolding. He thought that Qin Luo had seen through his motives, so he became furious.

After deciding to come clean, Liu Chengyin had already made up her mind to die. If Qin Luo wanted to take advantage of her in her vulnerable state and insult her, she would not hesitate to end her own life.

"It was I who caused you to be in danger, yet you repay me with resentment. You did everything you could to save me. Are you not coveting... coveting my beauty? What is it?" She coldly questioned.

Qin Luo: "..."

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented weariness.

It was the same at the Prime Minister's residence. The more goodwill he showed towards the little maid, the more afraid she became, thinking that he had ulterior motives.

Now, it was the same with Liu Chengyin... What's the matter? Did I make a mistake by repaying resentment with kindness? Should I have killed you to make it normal?

But I'm really not the villain!

"Saintess Liu, don't be so self-righteous." Qin Luo reluctantly explained.

"Although you have a stunning appearance, with waves surging and long legs, I may not necessarily covet... Alright, I won't lie, I admit that I do have some desire for your beauty."

Upon hearing Qin Luo's admission, Liu Chengyin's jade-like fingers gripped her clothes, her heart filled with complex emotions.

"But." Qin Luo changed his tone, "Does coveting your beauty mean that I must defile you? Can't I be a good person, or even a lapdog?"

"??"

Although Liu Chengyin didn't understand the meaning of "lapdog," it didn't prevent her from associating it with Qin Luo taking advantage of her while she was unconscious, and sucking and licking her shoulder when he was lying on top of her. Her pretty face couldn't help but blush as she retorted, "You can't possibly be a good person. I've heard about your deeds of forcibly taking women in Fengtian City!"

Qin Luo: "..."

This statement left him at a loss for words.

Those were the actions of the villainous Qin Luo, what does it have to do with the righteous Qin Luo?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Rumors are dangerous. Saintess Liu, don't you understand?"

Liu Chengyin was confused.

"Others are slandering me. You haven't personally witnessed me forcibly taking women, so how can you conclude that I am that kind of person? No matter what, you have to see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears before you can believe it."

Liu Chengyin hesitated, feeling that Qin Luo's words made some sense. All her impressions of Qin Luo were based on hearsay, and she had never personally understood what kind of person Qin Luo really was...

No, she did have some personal understanding.

"Don't try to argue. You really are not a good person," Liu Chengyin shook her head suddenly, "If you were a righteous person, you wouldn't have taken advantage of me when I was vulnerable."

"I was saving you, Saintess Liu!"

Qin Luo became anxious, "If I didn't kiss you just now, do you think you would still be able to talk to me now? You would have died from the poison long ago!"

Liu Chengyin hesitated to speak. She had to admit that what Qin Luo said was true. She had indeed been brought back to life by him, like a lapdog.

"Saintess Liu, if you don't trust me that much, I'll make a promise to you now." Qin Luo vigorously defended his innocence, dispelling her concerns.

"If we are eventually rescued and return to Fengtian City, I won't trouble you in the slightest. After you have recovered from your injuries, you can leave whenever you want. If I break my promise, let me be cursed and die a miserable death!"

This poisonous oath made Liu Chengyin's small mouth slightly agape in astonishment.

No one would curse themselves for no reason. Qin Luo's oath was definitely the greatest display of sincerity. Liu Chengyin couldn't help but doubt her own judgment. Could it be that she had misunderstood and wrongly accused him?

Were all those rumors about Qin Luo being completely evil just baseless rumors?

"Why... are you so good to me?" Liu Chengyin exclaimed in disbelief.

"Why am I so good to you? What a question!" Qin Luo pondered his deceptive words, subconsciously gripping Liu Chengyin's plump and soft thigh.

Can I say that you are my virtual wife, who loves me unconditionally in the game?

"Didn't you just answer that yourself? I desire your beauty, and because I admire you, I am good to you. Any problem with that?" Liu Chengyin's breath hitched, her heart feeling as if it had been struck by an electric current, her beautiful face blushing from her ears to her neck.

"You... don't talk nonsense! This is our first meeting," she said anxiously.

Qin Luo nonchalantly replied, "So what? I fell in love with Saintess Liu at first sight. Any problem with that?"

"...There is a problem!" Liu Chengyin hurriedly said, "You are Qin Wude's son, and we are enemies. It's impossible!"

"But I do admire Saintess Liu, what should I do?" Qin Luo continued nonchalantly.

Liu Chengyin, known as the Saintess of Sunset Cloud Valley, was indeed pure and flawless. There were many junior disciples in the sect who admired her, but they knew they were not worthy of her. Their reverence for her outweighed their admiration. No one had ever dared to express their love for her as boldly as Qin Luo did. This sudden confession left her in a state of confusion, her face turning red, unable to utter a word.

Qin Luo was unaware of Liu Chengyin's distress. His words were just a casual response. His current priority was to return to Fengtian City alive. He had no intention of discussing love with Liu Chengyin.

"I can't go on anymore. I'm exhausted. Let's rest for a while."

After enduring for so long, Qin Luo's body had finally reached its limit. His legs were swollen and numb, and he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Seeing him drenched in sweat, with visibly swollen legs, Liu Chengyin understood how difficult it must have been for him to carry her all the way on his back. She felt guilty for misunderstanding his intentions.

"Are you... very tired?"

"Nonsense," Qin Luo rolled his eyes, too lazy to look back at her.

"The sweat got into my eyes, and you don't even know how to help me wipe it. I saved your life for nothing," he said.

Liu Chengyin felt even more guilty and stammered, "I didn't ask you to save me. It was you, it was all you..."

He likes me...

"Yes, yes, it was me being stupid, me being a lapdog," Qin Luo took over the conversation, self-mockingly.

Liu Chengyin remained silent, overwhelmed by guilt, feeling uncomfortable as if a wildfire was burning inside her.

Qin Luo didn't mean to tease her. Seizing the opportunity during their rest, he brought up the main topic, "I almost forgot to ask, Saintess Liu, who is that Midnight Butcher? I saw that you and Xiao Yan both know him."

Liu Chengyin hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "The Midnight Butcher is a cultivator from the Soul Sect."

"Soul Sect? Why haven't I heard of this sect?" Qin Luo was skeptical. During his first playthrough, he almost completed Heavenly Origin Continent and was familiar with various forces, but he had no impression of the Soul Sect.

Liu Chengyin explained, "The Soul Sect is a very ancient hidden sect. The elders and disciples of the sect have isolated themselves from the world in pursuit of immortality and enlightenment. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."

Qin Luo furrowed his brows tightly.

No, as someone who almost completed the game's original story, suddenly introducing a hidden sect that I haven't heard of, and you say it's normal?

Normal, my ass!
