Chapter 50 - The Scene Continues

Chapter 50: The Scene Continues

”It’s really strange, that Ye guy, clearly not a good person, but why did he help us?”

At this moment, in Mo Qingxue’s home, her sister-in-law, looking at the departing Ye Xuan, said to Mo Qingxue, “Qingxue, be careful. He must be after you. These playboys are the best at winning a woman’s heart–!”

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I understand.” Mo Qingxue would not be fooled into thinking Ye Xuan was a good person just because she received a little help from him.

Even if Ye Xuan truly helped her, she would find a way to repay him, but she would never let him have his way.

After taking the medicine, her mother’s condition had improved a lot, so Mo Qingxue didn’t have to worry anymore. Therefore, she went to bed early.

However… That night.

“Is this Mo Qingxue’s house?” Two figures arrived outside Mo Qingxue’s courtyard, whispering sneakily.

“There’s no mistake, hehe, our young master is really something. Why pretend during the day? Just kidnap her directly.”

“Right, and we even had to travel at night.”

“Let’s go–!!!”

The two figures jumped into the Mo family courtyard, carrying a sack, caught the still sleeping Mo Qingxue, then flipped over the wall, and hurried towards the town with incredible speed.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Ye’s mansion. After the butler opened the door, they carried the sack to Ye Xuan’s room:

“Young Master Ye, we have brought the person for you.”

“Enjoy your time, hehe, we won’t disturb you–!!!”

Then, the two men immediately closed Ye Xuan’s door and left, leaving only a sack in Ye Xuan’s room.

In Ye Xuan’s room, the candlelight flickered, and it was visible that Ye Xuan was sitting quietly there. His gaze shifted towards the sack, revealing a hint of lewdness in his eyes.

———

“Umm…” This scene left Yu Ling’er dumbfounded.

What’s happening?!! Young Master Ye was doing good deeds during the day, helping people through difficulties, giving money to the Mo family.

How come at night, he became a different person, directly kidnapping the girl to his room? What is he going to do?!!

“That night, my heart was filled with unprecedented fear.” Watching Yu Ling’er’s reaction, Elder Qingxue said, “To be honest, at that time, I really wanted to die, but unfortunately, I didn’t even have the ability to die.” Her expression was indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about what had happened.

However, Yu Ling’er was very distressed. She felt that Ye Xuan shouldn’t be such a person, he couldn’t possibly do such a thing…

Even if it was Ye Xuan’s past life, as long as they were the same person, Ye Xuan wouldn’t do such excessive things.

———

However, no matter what Yu Ling’er thought, in the scene, Ye Xuan had already approached the sack. He reached out, untied the sack, revealing the bound girl inside.

Her mouth was tied, she could only make muffled sounds, and looked at Ye Xuan with fearful eyes. In fact, she had been awake, knowing that she was kidnapped by villains. But she didn’t expect that the person who kidnapped her would be Ye Xuan.

He had pretended to be a gentleman in front of her during the day. But seeing that it was Ye Xuan, Mo Qingxue also breathed a sigh of relief…

In any case, at least Ye Xuan wouldn’t sell her to some strange place. Ye Xuan is now the wealthiest landlord in Wuyuan Town. He kidnapped her, probably only for one thing. Thinking of this, Mo Qingxue couldn’t help but shed tears of fear and sadness…

———

“…” In the scene, the bound girl’s helpless expression caught Yu Ling’er’s eye, making her anxious and wishing she could rush forward to save her. However, she knew that all of this had already happened in the past, and she could do nothing but watch.

“Brother Ye… what… what is this about… did you really do this? Why?” She turned to Ye Xuan and asked, “I believe in you… you must have had your reasons, just tell me and I’ll believe you.”

“Uh…” Hearing Yu Ling’er’s words, Ye Xuan wanted to tell her that the plot required him to do this.

However, if he said so, Elder Qingxue might take his life. So, he could only pretend to be innocent and said: “Do you think I can answer your question right now?”

At this moment, he had to be a bit despicable. If he wasn’t, according to the later plot, Elder Qingxue really would kill him a thousand times over.

“…” Yu Ling’er, feeling helpless, continued to watch the scene. She absolutely believed in the Ye Xuan beside her, but as for that Ye Xuan of the past, she had reasons to believe that he might just be Ye Xuan’s past life, not the same person.

Perhaps there was some misunderstanding. She refused to believe that someone as affectionate as Ye Xuan would do such a thing–!!!

On the other hand, Elder Qingxue was somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect that after seeing such a thing, Yu Ling’er would still firmly stand by Ye Xuan’s side. She herself had once believed in Ye Xuan, but unfortunately, he never gave her even a bit of reason to trust him–!!!

———

“Tsk tsk, why are you crying?” Looking at the girl he had released from the sack, Ye Xuan wore a look of evil: “Seeing me, shouldn’t you be happy? At least, this is not some bandit’s den, and I’m not a man-eating monster.”

“–!!!” Hearing this, Mo Qingxue’s eyes were still filled with fear. Because, in her eyes at that moment, Ye Xuan was more terrifying than any harmful monster.

Looking at the frightened girl in front of him, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel helpless internally. Being a villain really wasn’t his style. However, the script has already been set, and if I don’t play along, I’m going to die at your hands.

For you, I am a villain with ill intentions. But for me, you are also a person who wants my life, so I will not show you mercy. Thinking this, Ye Xuan was determined to continue playing the villain.

Whatever the major villain in the heroine’s script had done, he could not avoid it but only find ways to clear his name. Thinking this, he reached out to Mo Qingxue, lifted her chin, and looked at her closely.

At this moment, Mo Qingxue was tearful and filled with fear. How she wished someone would come to save her at this time.

———

“If this really was the sin of my past life…” At this moment, Ye Xuan knew it was his time to show.

He said to Elder Qingxue, “I am willing to die to apologize to Elder Qingxue–!”

As the main villain, always ready to be killed by the heroine, Ye Xuan was well prepared for this. Of course, he didn’t really want to die…

But if Elder Qingxue still didn’t want to let him go afterward, he would still have to die. So, now he naturally had to appear more dignified. And truthfully, these things indeed were done by him just now when he traveled to the past.

If Elder Qingxue wanted to kill him now, he would indeed deserve it. But he believed he would not die because as Elder Qingxue said she later fell in love with him. This was not the reason she wanted to kill him.

“You don’t have to be so eager to die.” Elder Qingxue said, “I’ve said before, I once liked you, so now this matter seems unforgivable. But for me, it’s already a thing of the past. When a woman falls in love with someone, anything he has done can be forgiven. I want to kill you, but not because of this–!!!”

Her expression seemed very indifferent, but at this moment, she also had a flush on her face. She understood what would happen next in the scene.

Even though she was now high and mighty, almost like a fairy, able to kill Ye Xuan with a flick of her finger…

In the past, she was just an ordinary girl in front of Ye Xuan, unable to resist. Everything was predestined. She let Ye Xuan see everything just so that he wouldn’t die without understanding, depriving her of any pleasure in revenge.

Yu Ling’er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, she was really worried that Elder Qingxue would not be able to resist killing Ye Xuan at this moment.

However, she didn’t understand why Ye Xuan had changed so much. He was fine during the day…

It couldn’t be, as Elder Qingxue said, that this was his true nature, could it? Thinking this, Yu Ling’er’s gaze returned to the scene, and her face turned red.

———

Watching the girl in front of him with a face full of fear, tears streaming down, and continuously shaking her head, Ye Xuan’s heart naturally couldn’t bear it.

But destiny was already written; at this moment, he was destined to become the evil villain in the eyes of this girl. If he didn’t act now, it would create a paradox in fate, leading to Elder Qingxue having no interaction with her, which would render the future all void.

At that time, not only would Elder Qingxue want to kill him, but he himself would also cease to exist. So, he had to play the villain, whether he liked it or not.

Looking at Mo Qingxue, he smiled and said: “Are you that afraid of me?”

Mo Qingxue could only shake her head.

“Even if you are afraid of me, now that you are in my hands, I won’t let you go.” Ye Xuan smiled: “So, don’t be afraid, I will treat you well…”

“If you don’t obey, don’t blame me for being rude. You should know how powerful I am, even the officials dare not oppose me. If you don’t obediently listen to me, all the terrible things you can imagine will happen to you, understand?”

“…” Hearing this, Mo Qingxue’s face turned to one of utter despair. She understood, her brother was robbed by Ye Xuan’s men, and she had to swallow her anger and not report it to the officials.

Ye Xuan’s power was indeed formidable, as he said, probably even the officials couldn’t handle him. However, her attitude remained firm; she had made up her mind to rather die than yield.

“It seems you understand.” Seeing Mo Qingxue’s reaction, Ye Xuan nodded satisfactorily: “Since that’s the case, I’ll let you go. But don’t scream, otherwise… if I do something to hurt you in a moment of urgency, it would be bad, right?”

Hearing this, Mo Qingxue turned her gaze away, her eyes filled with disdain. She would rather die than yield to this villain!!! Compared to death, she preferred to preserve her purity. Ye Xuan’s threats, though frightening, would not make her submit.

“Hehe, it seems you think my words can’t threaten you.” Seeing Mo Qingxue’s reaction, Ye Xuan continued: “You have to understand, if something really happens to you, your brother, your family will come to fight me. What good end can they have then?”

Mo Qingxue was stunned… It was only then that she truly realized the terror of Ye Xuan. Yes, even if she chose death over submission, what about her brother? Her family? They would definitely come to fight Ye Xuan, and then…

What could be done? Seeing Mo Qingxue stunned, Ye Xuan then untied her bindings and also removed the cloth tied around her mouth.

Mo Qingxue, as expected, didn’t scream but just sat there fearfully, not daring to look at Ye Xuan.

———

“…” Watching the helpless girl in the scene, Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness.

No matter how much she believed Ye Xuan wouldn’t do such a thing, and there must be some misunderstanding, for Mo Qingxue at that time, it must have been the most desperate moment of her life.

Sadly, it happened hundreds of years ago, and even if she wanted to help her, she couldn’t. She could only watch along with Ye Xuan.

“Do you see now? I’ve already said, just because someone is nice to you, or says nice things, doesn’t necessarily mean they are a good person.” Elder Qingxue said to Yu Ling’er: “In the end, it’s about what they do.”

“If you don’t believe Young Master Ye is a good person… then why did you still like Young Master Ye?” Yu Ling’er asked, somewhat puzzled.

In her view, falling in love with a bad person seemed foolish. Moreover, this bad person had done such excessive things to her.

Hearing Yu Ling’er’s naive words, Elder Qingxue laughed: “Sometimes, after things happen, you know the other person is bad, but you still like them because you naively think that they truly like you, that you are special in their eyes.”

“Uh…” Yu Ling’er expressed her incomprehension. In her view, whether a person is good or bad is visible to the naked eye. How could there still be a situation where you know the other person is bad, but you think they truly like you? Where does a bad person get sincerity?

“…” Seeing Yu Ling’er’s naive and ignorant appearance, Elder Qingxue coldly smiled and said: “You don’t understand now, but you will once you watch further.”

———

In the scene, within Ye Xuan’s room, Mo Qingxue was cowering in fear in a corner.

Ye Xuan looked at her for a long time before finally speaking: “Do you really think I tied you up and brought you here just to watch you cower in fear? Come here–!”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Mo Qingxue showed a look of unwillingness but, suppressing her fear, she stood up and walked step by step towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan observed Mo Qingxue from head to toe. Despite her shabby clothes, her beauty was evident, and she was sure to grow into an incredibly beautiful woman.

Ye Xuan, pleased with himself, said, “Hehe, your current expression really satisfies me. I like this look of unwillingness and helplessness in following my commands.”

Actually, Ye Xuan didn’t enjoy being the bad guy. But thinking about how Elder Qingxue was already preparing to kill him, he felt it was better to be the villain than to die having done nothing wrong.

These thoughts gave him the confidence to embrace his role as the villain. In Elder Qingxue’s view, he had wronged her. But for him, she was the one trying to kill him first, so it was a fair deal. Isn’t it?!!

Mo Qingxue, unaware of Ye Xuan’s thoughts, was filled with helplessness and hatred.

“Ah–!!!” Just as Mo Qingxue was gritting her teeth, unsure of what to say, Ye Xuan suddenly approached her and swept her up in his arms. She couldn’t help but cry out in surprise…

The candlelight flickered, and the night deepened.

———

Watching everything unfold in the scene, Yu Ling’er blushed, covering her eyes with her hands but couldn’t help peeking through her fingers, curious about the scene in the mirror.

Elder Qingxue’s face also turned red…

What is this?!! Isn’t the Former Dust Mirror a celestial treasure? Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t this part of the scene be skipped?

Some parts that should be detailed aren’t, but this, which shouldn’t be detailed, is very explicit–!!! Since when does any celestial magic or treasure depict such scenes…? Is this mirror even legitimate?!!

Thankfully, there were only three of them here. If others saw it, she might have had to silence them.

She suddenly realized, oh right, there are two other people here. Thus, she scolded Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er: “You must not watch this part–!!!”

“How can I know what bad things I’ve done if I don’t watch carefully?” Ye Xuan said seriously, “Don’t worry, I absolutely don’t have any dirty thoughts, I’m watching with a righteous mindset.”

“Brother Ye, you must not watch–!!!” Yu Ling’er jumped in front of Ye Xuan, stretching her hands to cover his eyes…

However, Ye Xuan looked at her seriously and said, “Sister, don’t you trust me?”

“Uh…” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Yu Ling’er was taken aback: “I… I believe you then, Brother Ye, you definitely don’t have any dirty thoughts.” Saying this, she withdrew her hands.

“Pfft–!!!” Elder Qingxue almost spat blood. God, no dirty thoughts? His eyes are practically glued to it. Yu Ling’er is too naive to believe such nonsense. Has she really lived a second life?
