Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 29: Forever Looking Down on You

"Scum! Say it again! Say it again!"

Qin Wude was furious, hanging Qin Luo in mid-air and continuously whipping him.

Qin Luo gritted his teeth, refusing to utter a word of surrender even as his skin was torn and he was on the brink of death.

"Father, please stop! If you continue, you'll kill my younger brother!"

Qin Qingyue rushed forward, embracing Qin Luo and using her own body to shield him, enduring several lashes that left two horrifying bloodstains on her beautiful gown.

Qin Wude finally calmed down a bit. "Fuling, lock up this scum. He won't be given any food until he starts cultivating!"

"Yes."

Qin Luo's stubbornness surprised Qin Wude. He endured three days without a drop of water, ignoring Qin Qingyue's constant persuasion to surrender to their father.

"Father, I beg you to spare my younger brother. He's really starving!"

Qin Qingyue burst into the study, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded for Qin Luo.

Qin Wude was shocked. "I only said I wouldn't give him food, but didn't you secretly feed him?"

Qin Qingyue cried, "I did, but he refused to eat. He said he would starve himself to death unless you promised to stop forcing him to cultivate in the future..."

"Absurd! How can this be allowed!"

...

The life-threatening dispute between father and son ultimately ended with Qin Wude backing down.

The day Qin Luo ate again, Qin Wude's already graying hair turned completely white overnight.

"Younger brother, Fengtian City has been chaotic lately. Stay in the mansion and don't go out to play."

"I don't cultivate, I don't go out to play. Am I supposed to play with you in the mansion?"

"Younger brother, I can accompany you..."

"Younger brother, why do you smell like alcohol? You're still young, you shouldn't drink."

"I don't want you to care. Go ahead and collude with Qin Wude. I have nothing to do with you!"

...

"Qin Luo, stop right there! You're not allowed to go anywhere today!"

After being confronted by his younger brother many times, Qin Qingyue, who was usually gentle and beautiful like a fairy, finally showed a hint of fierceness.

"I have to go. If even Qin Wude can't control me, what can you do?"

"I can hit you!"

Qin Qingyue followed through with her words, delivering a punch to Qin Luo's eye socket.

...

"Miss's talent is truly terrifying!"

"At only ten years old, she has already formed a Gold Core. When I was her age, I was still playing in the mud."

"She's truly a rare talent, unparalleled in the past and unmatched in the future!"

One day, Qin Luo returned to the mansion with panda-like eyes and overheard the guards gossiping about Qin Qingyue.

"A rare talent..."

Qin Luo murmured to himself.

He used to admire and idolize his sister, longing to become as powerful as her.

But now, they had taken different paths, drifting apart from each other.

"Miss is too extraordinary! She's at the Soul Formation Stage! A twelve-year-old at the Soul Formation Stage, an unprecedented occurrence in the history of the Heavenly Origin Continent!"

"I heard that Miss is going to venture into the martial world. She's only thirteen years old. Isn't this a bit rushed?"

"Breaking news! Miss single-handedly went to Liangshan yesterday, not only breaking the Heavenly Ganges Formation of the Water Margin Sect, but also killing one hundred and eight elders of the Water Margin Sect on the spot. The martial world is in shock!"

"Miss went to Mount Emei again and defeated the Emei Sect's Abbess Miejue. She announced the dissolution of the Emei Sect!"

"Huangyun Temple has also caught Miss's attention, and the entire Taoist temple has been reduced to ruins."

"..."

Qin Luo was in Fengtian City, constantly receiving reports of Qin Qingyue's achievements from the martial world. Each achievement shook the court and the people.

The Water Margin Sect, Mount Emei, and Huangyun Temple have all openly shown hostility towards Qin Wude, declaring that if Qin Wude dares to show the slightest disloyalty, they will send their entire sects to Fengtian City to support the rightful king. Qin Qingyue single-handedly destroyed the three sects.

Qin Qingyue left Fengtian City at the age of thirteen and spent three years in the martial world. When she returned, she was already famous throughout the Heavenly Origin Continent, known by everyone.

But on the day she returned to the city, Qin Luo did not see her among the welcoming crowd.

"Young Master Er... He... He went to the Golden Cave to drink flower wine..." The guards in the mansion, under her questioning, trembled as they revealed Qin Luo's whereabouts.

The Golden Cave was the most famous pleasure establishment in Fengtian City, and even Qin Qingyue had heard of it. At first, she couldn't believe it until she personally went to the Golden Cave and saw Qin Luo sitting among a group of friends, holding a beautiful dancer in his arms, indulging in pleasure and laughter.

"Qin Luo, how could you willingly fall to such a state!"

Qin Qingyue's anger surged, and she kicked Qin Luo out of the pleasure establishment.

Qin Luo stumbled to his feet, picked up a bottle of wine, and drank two mouthfuls. With disheveled hair, he laughed, "Who do we have here? It turns out to be Qin Wude's trusted general. Qin Qingyue, you're back."

"Since you're back, why don't you dance for us, my brothers, to liven things up!"

Seeing Qin Qingyue's murderous gaze, the surrounding friends were terrified, wishing to kneel down and beg Qin Luo to stop.

"You come back with me now, and we'll pretend nothing happened." She said coldly.

"Go back to your damn mansion!"

Qin Luo smashed the wine bottle, "Qin Qingyue, don't act all high and mighty with me. You're just a dog under Qin Wude's command. What right do you have to lecture me? Have you gained a sense of superiority by being my father's lapdog? Even if Qin Wude succeeds in seizing the throne in the future, it will be me, his son, who inherits the imperial throne. You won't even be worth a pile of shit!"

Qin Qingyue remained silent and kicked Qin Luo back into the pleasure establishment, pressing his head down to keep him submerged in the water.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Under Qin Qingyue's foot, Qin Luo struggled desperately, but not a single friend dared to speak up.

"Qin Luo, I will always look down on you."

Just before Qin Luo was about to drown, Qin Qingyue released her foot and turned to leave.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Qin Luo crawled out of the water, gasping for breath like a beaten dog, shouting at Qin Qingyue's back, "Qin Qingyue, I will also always look down on you!"

"I said, even if I remain a useless waste forever, I will never stoop to Qin Wude's level. If you have any sense of shame, you shouldn't have come back to Fengtian City!"

Before venturing into the martial world, Qin Qingyue had not hesitated to discipline Qin Luo, hoping that he would wake up and return to the right path. But since the incident at the Golden Cave, she had never laid a hand on Qin Luo again, even if he spent his days and nights indulging in pleasure. The siblings became strangers to each other.

...

...

A ray of sunlight shone through the window, falling on Qin Luo's wet face.

Qin Luo opened his eyes and wiped his face with his hand, wiping away a tear.

"Did I cry so much in my dream?"

Surprised, Qin Luo used the bedding as a towel and vigorously wiped away the tears on his face, then got up.
