Chapter 18 : In My Script, The Protagonist is Scum
“Boy, I am your friend. Is this how you talk to a friend? How disheartening.” Despite Ye Xuan telling it to leave, the Heart Demon was neither angry nor annoyed but continued with its beguiling voice: “Don’t you want the woman you love to fall into your arms? Don’t you want to slaughter that despicable Senior Brother Yu Shou? Don’t you want all those who looked down on you to admire you? I can help you with that.”
“Hmph, I don’t know what you are, but I will not be manipulated by you—!!!” Ye Xuan said coldly: “I know, you’re not a good person, following your advice would only lead me to commit many wrongdoings—!”
“Heh, boy, you’re too naive.” The Heart Demon chuckled: “In this world, there’s no clear division between good and bad people, it’s just the law of the jungle. You are weak, so they bully you, but I can make you stronger than them.”
“Then go find those who live by the law of the jungle. I refuse to be driven by you—!” Ye Xuan’s resolute nature was surprisingly strong, not succumbing to the Heart Demon’s temptation. The next moment, he broke free from the despairing state created by the Heart Demon.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and before him was still Qingyan Peak. The buildings of Qingyan Peak, the cleansing spirit rising from them, forming a huge Taihua formation in the sky, rotating above. Beside Ye Xuan were several spirit gathering formations, emitting spirit light, forming streams of qi.
This was a world of spiritual Qi. Ye Xuan saw the existence of spiritual Qu for the first time in his life, and everything before him left him astonished. “This… is this spiritual Qu?” He raised his hand, touching a stream of spiritual Qi, which revolved around his palm.
“Hehehe… boy, this is a gift from me, do you like it?” The voice of the Heart Demon echoed in Ye Xuan’s mind: “Your master looks down on you and can’t help you, but I can. You just need to listen to me, and you can have everything without doing anything.”
“Take it away—!!!” Ye Xuan’s expression changed, and he coldly responded: “I don’t need your gifts—!!!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I have plenty of time to wait for you to change your mind.” With that, the Heart Demon disappeared.
“Uh…” Yu Ling’er was somewhat surprised by the content of the scene. She had thought that when Ye Xuan was in his most desperate moment, and the Heart Demon appeared, he would surely fall for its temptation and descend into the demonic path. But he had such strong willpower that he resisted the Heart Demon’s temptation?
One must know, a Heart Demon is still a demon. Although it is not skilled in combat, its strength is greater than that of ordinary immortals. The Heart Demon’s power of temptation is also above that of immortals. Under such circumstances, Ye Xuan completely resisted the Heart Demon’s temptation? It was unexpected.
Yu Ling’er questioned herself, thinking that if she were in Ye Xuan’s situation, she definitely would have been beguiled by the Heart Demon. But since Ye Xuan wasn’t influenced by it, were those atrocious acts he committed later his own doing? No, that couldn’t be.
Probably later on, he still couldn’t resist the temptation of the Heart Demon and fell into demonhood. After all, the Heart Demon hadn’t given up on him. It had to be so. At this moment, Yu Ling’er instinctively wanted to believe that Ye Xuan wouldn’t commit those evil acts.
In her mind, the Heart Demon must have completely dominated Ye Xuan shortly after because it was from that time Ye Xuan started doing those outrageous things, something she had witnessed with her own eyes.
“Did you hear? The eldest disciple of Qingguang Peak is coming to propose to our junior sister.” “Really?”
“Will Master agree?”
“Probably not, after all, Master and that uncle from Qingguang Peak don’t get along well.”
“Dad, I want to marry him.”
“What, you—you aren’t ashamed—!!!”
“I don’t care, I want to marry him.”
The scene rapidly progressed to the day Yu Shou from Qingguang Peak came to Qingyan Peak to propose to Yu Ling’er. If it had been before, Yu Ling’er might have been happy watching this scene. But now, she just felt nauseated. She used to want to marry such a scoundrel, a degenerate. To the current Yu Ling’er, she just wanted to skip this part of the story.
Everyone on Qingyan Peak was smiling. Although the master was reluctant to marry off his daughter, she was willing and determined, so he had to agree.
Only Ye Xuan, watching the man who was behaving gently and elegantly in front of everyone, had a look of hatred in his eyes. Everyone had been deceived by him… Noticing Ye Xuan looking at him, Yu Shou turned his head, giving Ye Xuan a triumphant look. No one else noticed this look.
However, Yu Ling’er saw it clearly outside the scene. At that moment, she felt a chill. The man she once wanted to marry, what kind of degenerate was he? Everyone was deceived by him, only Ye Xuan knew the truth. But no one would believe what he said…
At that time, she didn’t either. Thinking about this, Yu Ling’er felt a wave of injustice for Ye Xuan. The feeling of being clear-minded in a murky world was too unpleasant.
“Are you starting to feel sorry for me?” Seeing Yu Ling’er’s reaction, Ye Xuan curled his lips. It seemed that his preparatory whitewashing was working very well; before it even officially began, she was already considering things from his perspective. But, his smearing of the male lead had to continue…
Although in the real world, Yu Shou was definitely a bright and upright gentleman, in his script, why should the male lead be so virtuous? He should only be portrayed as an utterly despicable scoundrel.
As Ye Xuan continued his scripting, the scene naturally continued.
While most people on Qingyan Peak were happy about Yu Ling’er’s marriage, Yu Shou, seeing Ye Xuan looking at him angrily, felt extremely pleased. He confidently faced everyone’s gaze, walked up to Ye Xuan, and whispered: “Junior Brother Yu Xuan, I’m sorry about that day… You were wronged. Don’t worry, once I get tired of her, I’ll find an opportunity to let you have your turn too.” He said this casually, not explicitly stating what he meant, but Ye Xuan knew. At that moment, Ye Xuan was furious—!!!
Yu Ling’er, watching the scene, was also furious. She understood what Yu Shou meant. Such words were inhuman… Qin Yushou—!!! What kind of beast are you—!!! No, you are even worse than a beast—!!!
