Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 7: Unintentional Interference

"Shut up."

Xiao Yan scolded, "Dealing with scoundrels like you, what need is there for righteousness and morality? If you dare to be impolite to my senior sister again, I'll cut you in half with a single sword!"

Qin Luo was calmer now. When he saw Xiao Yan earlier, he was indeed frightened. After all, the other party was truly capable of killing him. But once Liu Chengyin took off her mask, Qin Luo wasn't as afraid anymore.

After all, he and Liu Chengyin had been companions in the game, going through hardships together. He knew that Liu Chengyin was extremely trustworthy. Since she made a promise to protect him, she wouldn't let Xiao Yan harm him.

"If you want Sunset Cloud Valley to be annihilated, go ahead and try to attack me." Qin Luo forced himself to be tough, his brows furrowed coldly.

Xiao Yan was taken aback by his words, then became furious. "How dare you threaten us?!"

In Xiao Yan's imagination, Qin Luo was just a spoiled and extravagant person with no cultivation. After falling into his hands, he should be begging for mercy, but he didn't expect him to act so arrogantly.

"So what if I threaten you?"

Qin Luo had nothing to lose. Since he and Xiao Yan were sworn enemies, there was no possibility of reconciliation between them. No matter how angry or provoked Xiao Yan was, he wouldn't let Qin Luo go. So he might as well show some backbone while Liu Chengyin was protecting him.

"My father has my life token. As long as you harm a single hair on me, my father will immediately sense it. If that happens, not only will your entire family be implicated, but every egg in Sunset Cloud Valley will be shattered."

"You!"

Xiao Yan was even more enraged, but he was genuinely threatened by Qin Luo. He tightly gripped his sword hilt, no longer daring to act impulsively.

Seeing this, Qin Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to come up with some even more absurd nonsense than the life token, when suddenly his collar was forcefully lifted from behind.

"If Sunset Cloud Valley is annihilated, you will die before everyone else."

Liu Chengyin said solemnly, her beautiful face cold and chilling, making Qin Luo shudder. She grabbed him and flew into the dilapidated temple.

Feeling the killing intent emanating from Liu Chengyin, Qin Luo's heart was filled with regret. He had only intended to intimidate Xiao Yan, hoping to make him hesitate. In his eyes, Liu Chengyin was the least threatening.

However, the least threatening Liu Chengyin was now directly releasing her killing intent towards him, while the most threatening Xiao Yan was intimidated by him.

How many more times would he unintentionally interfere like this?

"Saintess Liu, I didn't mean anything else."

Qin Luo didn't dare to confront Liu Chengyin head-on and tried to express goodwill as much as possible. "I mainly wanted to say that it's troublesome for you to capture me. If anything were to happen to me... mmm..."

Liu Chengyin's eyes flashed with cold light, unwilling to listen to his nonsense. With a flick of her jade hand, she took out a cloth strip from her storage ring and gagged Qin Luo's mouth, then securely bound his hands and feet.

When Xiao Yan followed them into the temple and saw Qin Luo tied up in a corner, wriggling like a caterpillar, making incomprehensible whimpering sounds, Liu Chengyin sat by the central bonfire, roasting.

"Senior sister, this scoundrel is despicable. Even at the brink of death, he still dares to threaten us!" Xiao Yan angrily glared at Qin Luo.

Liu Chengyin silently watched the bonfire.

"However, the scoundrel's words do make some sense." Xiao Yan abruptly changed his tone.

"Our abduction of Qin Luo must not be discovered by Qin Wude and Qin Qingyue, at least Qin Luo must not come to harm in our hands, otherwise..."

"Are you afraid?" Liu Chengyin interrupted.

Xiao Yan awkwardly smiled, "Senior sister, what are you talking about? I, Xiao Yan, have never known fear. Even if the sky collapses before my eyes, I won't change my expression. How could I fear a mere scoundrel?"

Liu Chengyin nodded, "Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. It's too late to be afraid now."

Xiao Yan: "..."

"Qin Wude can't catch up for now. We'll set off once the rain stops," Liu Chengyin continued, turning his head to look at the pouring rain outside the temple.

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered as he took out a blanket from his storage ring, laid it on the ground, and eagerly said, "Senior Sister, you're exhausted from infiltrating the Prime Minister's residence. Take a good rest now, I'll keep watch."

"No need," Liu Chengyin shook his head, "I just need a short rest."

"Alright."

Xiao Yan didn't insist and then took out a pill from his storage ring, saying, "This is the Spirit Recovery Pill that Master gave me. Senior Sister, take it to recover your spiritual power faster."

His repeated attempts to please irritated Liu Chengyin, who was already feeling annoyed. His tone became slightly harsher, "Junior Brother, stop talking. I want to be quiet for a while."

"Oh, okay."

Xiao Yan finally closed his mouth, feeling embarrassed.

On the other side, Qin Luo curled up in a corner and, through the conversation between Xiao Yan and Liu Chengyin, roughly understood their current relationship.

The two of them hadn't developed a romantic relationship like in the game; they were just simple senior sister and junior brother. Moreover, Liu Chengyin seemed to dislike Xiao Yan.

This discovery made Qin Luo inexplicably relieved.

If he were to witness them being affectionate in front of him while he was tied up, that would truly be a heart-wrenching experience.

"Why am I feeling relieved? Although Liu Chengyin hasn't become Xiao Yan's romantic partner, I am now the antagonist Qin Luo, in opposition to her camp. It's even less likely that she would have feelings for me like in the game," Qin Luo thought, returning to reality with mixed emotions.

At this point, the plotline had already collapsed. He had lost the advantage of foresight and had no idea which direction Daoist Wu would develop next.

Although Qin Luo had also kidnapped his predecessor in the game, it was during the middle stage of the game when his power had developed to a certain extent. Even when facing Qin Qingyue's pursuit, he could still escape. Only then did he dare to target his predecessor.

But now, the protagonist Xiao Yan clearly hadn't left the beginner's village, Sunset Cloud Valley, yet he dared to follow Liu Chengyin and kidnap him, completely disrupting the original plotline.

"Qin Wude, you've ruined me," Qin Luo couldn't help but resent his unknown father.

He didn't need to guess; Xiao Yan and Liu Chengyin must have kidnapped him because of Qin Wude. As a spoiled brat, he only had this much value to be kidnapped.

"Everyone else is disappointing, but Qin Wude, you specifically disappoint your own son. Anyone you can't deal with comes after me. You think you're superior, you're amazing," Qin Luo complained for a few moments, then followed Liu Chengyin's gaze and looked at the rain in the night.

At this point, he could only place his hope for survival on Qin Qingyue, hoping that she would be as swift as in the game and always appear to save the protagonist at critical moments.

"Qin Qingyue, please come out quickly. I used to be most afraid of seeing you, but now I've discovered your lovable side. Big sister, please come and save me—"

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded above the dark clouds.

The blue-purple lightning illuminated the night.

Qin Luo clearly saw a figure in the distance, flying swiftly against the lightning.
