The Villainess Won’t Let the Main Leads Break Up!

Chapter 57: So sweet, super sweet, sweet. [Happy].

The pupils of the Bull-faced Python flickered with a blood-red light, precisely locking onto Xie Wuyan’s direction. Its massive body, with even the slightest movement, could cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split.

Its breath was scorching hot. While locking onto Xie Wuyan, its pupils narrowed into a red line, as if it were enraged.

“Does it recognize you?”

“Yeah,” Xie Wuyan replied, “We’ve had dealings before.”

Shen Wanqing asked from the bottom of her heart: “Really? Why do I feel like it’s behaving as if you killed its entire family and stole its eggs to fry and eat?”

Xie Wuyan fell silent for a moment, then glanced at Xuanniao by his side.

Xuanniao nervously moved back.

The Bull-faced Python.

This creature could be considered Xie Wuyan’s old nemesis.

Of course, for the Xie Wuyan of his prime, even dealing with a terrifying demon like the Bull-faced Python, which made countless cultivators tremble in fear, wouldn’t require much effort.

When Xie Wuyan had just escaped from the Heavenly Dao Palace, numerous demons and monsters coveted his body. Perhaps irritated by the constant stream of foolish demons seeking death, Xie Wuyan took a trip to the Demon Realm and effortlessly killed a large number of formidable demons.

In the process, he incidentally rescued Xuanniao with torn wings, caught in a trap set by the demons.

Xuanniao, born with the attribute of a sycophant, immediately noticed that this man was extraordinary. So it quickly latched onto his thigh, seeking favor and acting cute without retaliation, not responding to insults. Every night, it would sob and complain to Xie Wuyan about its own hardships.

Finally, Xie Wuyan, overwhelmed with annoyance, asked: “What do you want me to do for you?”

And then Xuanniao started complaining.

It said that it had been living peacefully in its own nest when suddenly a group of dark demons attacked it. Despite its desperate resistance, it was left dazed by a tail strike from a bull-faced python. Not only did it get beaten up, but its carefully built beautiful nest was also completely destroyed. And when it left, it mercilessly killed numerous nestlings with its beak.

Many of the Xuanniao’s kin perished, and among the casualties, it was the only survivor.

In short, it wanted Xie Wuyan to seek revenge for it.

Xie Wuyan found it troublesome.

Eventually, he couldn’t bear Xuanniao’s incessant sobbing and terrible singing by his side.

Xuanniao said, “Those were dark demons that have been cultivating for thousands of years. They are extremely dangerous, Your Highness. We need to be cautious in our actions!”

Xie Wuyan responded, “Oh.”

Then he flew into the bull-faced python’s nest.

There was a flurry of black, purple, and red lights flashing inside, and leisurely he flew out, casting a disdainful gaze at Xuanniao beside him.

Xuanniao: I was insulted.

However, the Bull-faced Python is a cunning old fox and escaped quickly.

But that didn’t stop Xuanniao from firmly holding onto the idea of relying on someone powerful since then.

However, it is also quite petty by nature, so after Xie Wuyan finished dealing with the Bull-faced Python, Xuanniao flew into someone else’s nest and made a mess of it.

Then, accidentally, it broke one of their eggs.

At this point, Shen Wanqing couldn’t help but interrupt: “Just one egg?”

Xuanniao: “Well… I broke a whole nest.”

Shen Wanqing: “…” You never cease to amaze me.

Anyway, from that point on, the Bull-faced Python and Xie Wuyan became mortal enemies.

For the next few hundred years, numerous dark demons were summoned repeatedly, launching attacks on Xie Wuyan’s territory time and time again.

And every time, they were beaten badly, then skillfully used their escape abilities to flee.

After hundreds of years of fighting, Xuanniao started to suspect whether the Bull-faced Python had dug an escape tunnel, otherwise, how could it be so proficient in escaping?

Although it is said so, the way the dark demon obtains power is extremely brutal, and the main source is to enhance oneself by devouring the power of others.

The level of greed in demons like the Bull-faced Python is even greater.

Although it cannot shake Xie Wuyan during his prime, its power is indeed growing rapidly. It constantly devours surrounding demons, and with each confrontation, it becomes stronger than before.

Moreover, it is easy to see that as one of the leaders among the demons, the Bull-faced Python is not easily killed. It has escaped several times from Xie Wuyan’s hands, and it definitely doesn’t rely on luck every time.

And now, it is obviously more powerful than any previous encounter.

However, Xie Wuyan has sealed off most of his power, and with the presence of the Heavenly Dao Palace, he probably has to restrain himself from using force.

This battle will definitely be extremely difficult.

The people of the Heavenly Dao Palace quickly sensed that something was wrong. They quickly gathered together and instinctively erected barriers to protect themselves. Then they anxiously said, “Elder, the Bull-faced Python is here. We can’t subdue such a demon on our own. Moreover, the Bull-faced Python never acts alone. It might bring even more formidable demons. We must leave as soon as possible…”

“Yes, we must take these people with us. If they die here, the matter of the blood burning technique…”

“No.” The elder glanced around, shook his head, and raised his hand to interrupt. “This is a good opportunity.”

“What do you mean?”

“Feng Yaoqing wants us to produce evidence of the blood burning technique. Now, the Bull-faced Python will force out that evidence.”

“But… if there are any mistakes, both Feng yaoqing and Ji Feichen will probably lose their lives. the Heavenly Dao Palace cannot justify itself to Xuantian Pavilion and the Ji family!” One of the subordinates seemed worried. “Moreover, there are still many villagers and towns near the mountain, and it is obviously out of control now一”

“The dark demons are causing chaos, and the Heavenly Dao Palace is doing its utmost to rescue, but unfortunately, our manpower is insufficient, so we are helpless.” The elder glanced at the younger generation behind him, his voice calm. “Do you understand? If you understand, then leave this place.”

“We just need to wait and see for the results we want.”

“Your Highness, the people from the Heavenly Dao Palace are gone.”

“They must be trying to force Miss Shen to use the blood-burning technique.”

“I know.”

Xie Wuyan’s gaze turned slightly cold, and he raised his hand to block Shen Wanqing behind him. His arm instantly covered in flames: “Step back.”

His voice was deep, inexplicably giving people a strong sense of security.

He clenched his fist, and a barrier of flames immediately appeared in front of him, forcefully pushing the Bull-faced Python back a little.

With its movement, the mountain shook and cracked, and the towering mountain seemed to be struggling to withstand the power of the dark demons, gradually collapsing.

There were some disturbances in the surroundings.

Shen Wanqing frowned and scanned the surroundings.

Countless pitch-black dots gathered at an extremely fast speed, continuously converging towards this direction along the ridge. Each one of them was a demon she had never seen before, but it was evident that they were more aggressive than the monsters and ghosts she had encountered before.

They were underworld demons.

They came in response to the summons of the Bull-faced Python.

Before she could react, the Bull-faced Python launched an attack at an astonishing speed, its body swinging heavily as its tail broke through the ground.

It was then that Shen Wanqing realized that this demon was even larger than she had imagined, and the waves it created could cause the mountain to collapse at any moment.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xie Wuyan reached out and grabbed her back, pulling her towards himself and holding her tightly in his arms.

The Bull-faced Python let out a roar, a deep sound that seemed as if it could pierce through one’s skull, shattering the very soul.

Xie Wuyan’s grip tightened as spiritual energy gathered incessantly throughout his body.

Shen Wanqing noticed Xie Wuyan’s actions and reached out to touch his shoulder, trying to push him away. “No, you can’t一”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xie Wuyan pinched her acupoint, and her consciousness instantly faded away.

His pupils turned red in an instant, and an invisible barrier formed in front of him, isolating all the soul tremors caused by the Bull-faced Python.

“Why aren’t you using your power?”

“Xie Wuyan, it has been a hundred years since we last met. Have you become so weak?”

“Or is it that you, whose powers have been sealed for the most part, have now become nothing more than a coward who knows only how to avoid confrontation?”

The voice of the Bull-faced Python could only be heard by Xie Wuyan.

It laughed mockingly.

“You still underestimate me. If you continue like this, you won’t be able to protect anyone.”

At that moment, two flying swords flew past them, brushing against their sides. The collision of blue and yellow sword auras struck the Bull-faced Python’s forehead directly.

“Bang!”

The body of this demon was exceptionally tough, but despite not harming its essence, this attack forcefully pushed it back, leaving a shattered wound on its forehead.

“Leave with Wanqing.”

Ji Feichen woke up at some point, his lips devoid of color. He placed a hand on his still bleeding wound and stood beside Xie Wuyan, saying, “Go.”

Xie Wuyan looked at him.

At this moment, Xie Wuyan was filled with a strong sense of hostility. His eyes were blood-red, and the curse marks on his body were vividly visible.

Ji Feichen could naturally sense something was amiss.

However, he didn’t ask anything.

He knew that some things didn’t necessarily need a definite outcome, at least for now. He could tell that Xie Wuyan wouldn’t harm Shen Wanqing.

In fact, he would even hope for Shen Wanqing’s survival more than those hypocritical people.

“Don’t worry, we are well aware of what the Heavenly Dao Palace wants to do,” Feng Yaoqing stood by Ji Feichen’s side, “They won’t ruin their relationship with Xuantian Pavilion. If Wanqing isn’t here, they will reluctantly give up their plan and take action to save people.”

After saying that, she turned her head and spoke firmly, “Take Wanqing and leave.”

Xie Wuyan didn’t hesitate at all. He withdrew his hand that was holding Shen Wanqing’s waist and swiftly left.

At the moment Xie Wuyan turned around, the Bull-Faced Python let out a furious roar. Immediately after, countless dark demons rushed towards them with fierce killing intent.

Sounds of biting, the clash of sword qi against flesh, and the thunderous collision of powerful spiritual energy filled the air.

Finally, Feng Yaoqing’s heart-wrenching screams reached their ears.

【Supporting Female Character System: Ji Feichen’s life is fading! Ji Feichen’s life is fading! Host, please make sure to prevent this tragedy from happening. I repeat, please make sure to prevent this tragedy from happening!】

Shen Wanqing was awakened by a strong electric current in her head.

She opened her eyes, bloodshot from intense pain. Her chest trembled, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Turning her head, she saw Ji Feichen’s chest stabbed by the dark demon’s claws. Due to his body’s incomplete recovery, he weakly knelt on the ground, using his sword to support himself with great difficulty.

Feng Yaoqing may not have been wrong.

There was a high probability that the Heavenly Dao Palace’s plan would fail due to Shen Wanqing’s departure, forcing them to intervene and save people.

But this was only a probability.

Even the system couldn’t accurately predict the final outcome.

The system operated around the main characters, the male and female leads. They would not allow such a probable event to occur.

But Shen Wanqing knew.

If she went back, Xie Wuyan would likely expose his identity in an attempt to save her.

She didn’t want Xie Wuyan to die.

【Supporting Female Character System: System alert, system alert, red alert. The host must make a choice. If the host fails to make the correct choice within the specified time and complete the task assigned by the system, the system will take mandatory measures.】

“Put me down.”

Xie Wuyan remained silent.

【Supporting Female Character System: Five, four, three…】

“Xie Wuyan!”

【Supporting Female Character System: Two, one!】

Just as the countdown was about to end, Shen Wanqing felt a sharp and intense pain in her shoulder, as if a scorching knife had carved something onto her body.

The pain reached her bones and spread throughout her organs.

She lowered her gaze.

A black mark appeared on her shoulder, like a spell, causing excruciating agony.

Xie Wuyan noticed Shen Wanqing’s abnormality and quickly put her down, extending his hand to grasp her shoulder.

Shen Wanqing endured the pain that almost permeated her body. She pushed away Xie Wuyan’s hand and quickly gathered her spiritual power, creating a barrier to separate the two of them.

“I have to go back.”

Xie Wuyan looked at her with deep eyes and spoke in a low voice: “Shen Wanqing.”

“You must leave this place, Xie Wuyan.” Shen Wanqing looked into his eyes, intending to speak to him in a relaxed tone as she had done many times before, but her nose tingled and tears rolled down.

She lifted the corner of her lips and suddenly smiled, “You, even though I don’t know why, please stop risking your life to save me.”

Xie Wuyan just looked at her.

In his pitch-black pupils, her figure was reflected with utmost clarity.

Shen Wanqing trembled as she felt the forced seal imposed by the system spreading from her shoulder, permeating every inch of her body.

Her face turned pale, but she managed to control her trembling voice, “Xie Wuyan, I beg you. You promised me that you wouldn’t die.”

“Shen Wanqing.”

Xie Wuyan said: “Is there something controlling you?”

Shen Wanqing remained silent.

She stood up, turned around, took a deep breath, and looked in the direction of the Bull-faced Python, taking a step forward.

“Boom!”

That golden barrier was forcefully crushed.

Xie Wuyan reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her back.

Shen Wanqing didn’t have a chance to speak before Xie Wuyan held her chin.

He leaned in and kissed her lips.

Unlike every previous time.

It was a kiss without any tenderness.

It was a gentle and comfortable spiritual energy that continuously flowed into Shen Wanqing’s body, resisting and restraining the black curse mark.

“I have set up a palace in a place known only to Xuanniao.”

“There, you will have my protection, a completely safe place.”

“I won’t ask about what you don’t want to say, but from now on, you can go anywhere you want.”

“Do not live for others anymore.”

“Oh, and don’t let my flowers die.”

Xie Wuyan released his hand.

His pitch-black hair was lifted by the wind, his face was ashen, and a blood-red curse mark appeared on his forehead, from which bloodstains spread out.

Then, in an instant, it was covered in flames.

Countless cracks snaked from the ground where he stood, and then, like sparks, numerous flames rose from the underground.

The light of the breaking dawn merged with his figure.

“There is one more thing.”

Xie Wuyan turned around, looking at Shen Wanqing, his gaze unusually gentle.

He said, “I like you.”

The author has something to say:

My favorite scene!

Why was it delayed for half an hour? Because I originally wanted to put the “sweet” part in the next chapter, but when I thought about how happy the readers would be when they read it, I couldn’t resist and wrote it into this chapter.

So sweet, so sweet, so sweet.

Rest assured, it’s a happy ending (HE).

Finally, the daughter is about to become Niu Gu lu一 Wanqing一The Great Demon King!

TL/Note:

Why do I suddenly feel like something is flowing down on my face like a river, even though the chapter title and author said it should be ‘sweet’? (ಥ﹏ಥ)
