Chapter 14 The Witchcraft Boy 13

"Sigh..." Xu Qiuqiu sighed, but dared not go out to ask Qi Chen, after all, Qi Chen's appearance just now was really scary.

She recalled the appearance of the scumbag male lead, fearing he had been bewitched. He had just collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely, his face turning pale, veins bulging on his forehead, and his expression contorted, no longer possessing any of his handsome features.

Thinking about the male lead's appearance, Xu Qiuqiu suddenly realized a problem, "003, will the male lead die? If he dies, won't I be free from worries!"

“Host, the male lead won’t die so easily.” 003’s words shattered Xu Qiuqiu’s illusions.

Okay, every main character has a resurrection armor, she understands.

Just like how Xu Xiaoqiu was burned to death but was still saved, all for the sake of a happy ending in the plot.

Xu Qiuqiu sat in the carriage all morning. Fortunately, she had a system, and she didn't find it boring chatting with the system all morning.

She really wanted to go out and talk to Qi Chen, but the thought of his frightening expression made her hesitate.

The carriage stopped, and Xu Qiuqiu lifted the curtain to take a look. It stopped in front of an inn, a roadside post station, probably the only one of its kind for miles around.

Qi Chen got off the carriage, his face expressionless as he reached out his hand to help Xu Qiuqiu down.

Xu Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand in his palm for support as she got off the carriage.

When Qi Chen was willing to place her hand in his, his expression softened considerably, and the gloomy atmosphere he had just exuded lessened.

The innkeeper's waiter helped them park the carriage, and the owner happily welcomed them inside.

After picking Xu Qiuqiu up, Qi Chen never let go of her hand, leading her into the inn.

The owner was a middle-aged, overweight man who seemed easy to talk to. Looking at the two holding hands, he chuckled and said, "Are you two a couple? Would you like to share a room?"

"We are not..." Xu Qiuqiu was interrupted just as she was about to deny it.

"Two rooms," Qi Chen interrupted her. "Remember to cook some food." He then placed the loose silver on the table.

The boss was initially a little suspicious, but upon seeing the money, he didn't say anything more, took the loose change, and happily greeted them, instructing the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Xu Qiuqiu felt a little uncomfortable, as it was the first time someone had held her hand for so long, and she was led into the room like that.

He only let go of her hand when they got to the room.

Looking at Qi Chen, who seemed to have calmed down a bit, she became bolder. "Chen, Qi Gunan was just talking nonsense, right? I believe Chen isn't that kind of person."

The boy's gaze softened, and his tone became much gentler, "Qiuqiu, do you believe me?"

He almost lost control and killed Qi Gunan. He didn't care what others said about him, but he didn't want her to think that way either. He was afraid she would distance herself from him, so he forcibly took her away. He didn't dare to meet her gaze, which is why he remained silent.

"Of course I believe you. Although I haven't known Achen for long, I know that Achen isn't that kind of person." Xu Qiuqiu looked at Qi Chen's softened demeanor, and thought it was so good that his intimidating aura and gaze were gone.

"Qiuqiu, thank you." Qi Chen's heart softened; having her trust in him was enough.

Huh? Aren't you going to tell her why? Xu Qiuqiu looked at him, puzzled.

Qi Chen didn't intend to explain the reason. He didn't quite remember what happened, only that blood stained his vision that day, and he was standing among a pile of corpses.

Before his mother died, she gave him a keepsake and told him to go find his uncle. Then his mother died.

He found the Valley of the Holy Healer covered in blood. The Valley Master, who was also his uncle, disliked him as soon as he saw his appearance and attire. Moreover, at that time, he had no idea how to please people.

Everyone in the entire Valley of the Holy Healer felt that he was gloomy and kept a deadly Gu poison. He had never shed a tear when his parents died, and everyone thought he was cold-blooded and heartless.

He was indeed naturally indifferent, but when his parents died, he was sad, but he didn't cry. He never cried. Everyone thought he was strange; he lacked some other emotions.

He originally thought he would live a solitary life, but he met someone in his life who could evoke strong emotions in him. He couldn't help but pursue her and wanted to be good to her, even if she was lying to him.

It was as if he had found the meaning of life; he always felt particularly content when he was by her side.

Xu Qiuqiu waited for a long time but Qi Chen didn't say anything. He just stared at her blankly.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of him. "Achen, what are you thinking about?"

Qi Chen snapped out of his reverie and looked at the bright and beautiful girl in front of him. He felt much more at ease. As long as she was by his side, that was enough. "Qiuqiu, are you hungry? I'll go check if the food is ready."

After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs.

Xu Qiuqiu looked at Qi Chen's back; he was tall and handsome, even his back view was so beautiful.

"003, why is the second male lead more handsome than the male lead?" She was a little confused, so she asked 003 in her mind.

"Host, isn't this normal? You see, many female supporting characters in novels are prettier than the female lead, so it's perfectly normal for the second male lead to be prettier than the male lead. Besides, the second male lead and the male lead aren't the same type."

The second male lead is a handsome, exotic young man full of youthful charm, while the male lead is a dashing and elegant young master. I think the male lead's face is indeed quite suitable for the role; he looks very upright at first glance. 003 said confidently. Although it hadn't had any access to other novels since its creation, it still understood what it needed to understand—after all, it was intelligent!

"So that's how it is." Many years ago, she had read a similar novel. The female lead was of average appearance, the supporting female lead was rich and beautiful, and the male lead loved the female lead more than the supporting female lead. At the time, she didn't understand it, so she didn't read it.

On the muddy land, Qi Gunan was driven almost mad by the Gu worms inside his body. The constant, excruciating pain made it impossible for him to move.

He didn't faint from the pain; his mind was damn clear. He didn't know how long it took before the excruciating pain subsided a little.

He didn't know when he did it, and given his current physical condition, it was probably too late for him to catch up.

Xu Xiaoqiu suddenly seemed like a different person. What happened that made her willing to cut ties with him?

And how did they get together? It was only two days since he last visited Xu Xiaoqiu, yet everything had changed and was no longer part of his plan.

Qi Gu Nan's eyes turned cold. He forced himself to mount the black horse. It was his carelessness. He was superior to Qi Chen in martial arts and looked down on him, which was why he was so easily attacked. He had no choice but to return to the Holy Medicine Valley to remove the curse before going to find Xu Xiao Qiu.

As for Qi Chen, that monster cousin, he has never acknowledged him. After this incident, he is even more disgusted with him and will oppose him. When he returns to the Holy Medicine Valley, he will definitely make him pay!
