Chapter 254 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 22

Xu Qiuqiu: "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me."

"Host, the second male lead is actually quite pitiful; he's the son of Ruan Ye, the peak master of the Xuan Tian Sect..."

Upon hearing this surname, Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but ask, "Is Ruan Ye Ruan Zhili's father?"

003: "That's right, the second male lead's mother is a fox demon. She hid her identity and fell in love with Ruan Ye. Ruan Ye later found out, felt deceived, abandoned the fox demon, returned to his sect, married a junior sister from the same sect, and had a daughter named Ruan Zhili."

However, Ruan Zhili was born weak and sickly, and was not expected to live past the age of ten. He needed an inner elixir to keep him alive. Ruan Ye remembered the fox demon he had abandoned many years ago, and he began to have wicked thoughts.

When Ruan Ye went to find the fox demon, she discovered that the fox demon had already given birth to a son, who was the second male lead. Ruan Ye was overjoyed, as this meant she now had two inner cores. At that time, Ruan Ye was only at the Golden Core stage, so naturally he couldn't defeat the second male lead's mother, who had hundreds of years of cultivation.

Ruan Ye feigned remorse and begged the fox demon for forgiveness. The lovestruck fox demon naturally believed him. Ruan Ye then tricked the fox demon into believing he had killed the second male lead and obtained his inner core, promising to take her back to his sect and marry her. The lovestruck fox demon hesitated for several days.

Ruan Ye showered her with sweet words every day, and the fox demon finally made up her mind. She personally dug out the second male lead's inner core, leaving him abandoned in the cold fox den. The fox demon happily returned to her sect with Ruan Ye.

They were killed by Ruan Ye's men as soon as they arrived at the sect. Ruan Ye obtained two inner cores, which she gave to the male protagonist, saving his life. The male protagonist has never fallen ill since.

Hearing 003's words, Xu Qiuqiu was so angry she wanted to hit someone. "What a scoundrel! Ruan Zhili is his son, but isn't A-Feng his too?"

Remembering the scars on A-Fun's body, she continued to ask, "Then how did A-Fun get those scars?"

003 felt a pang of pity and said, "The second male lead didn't die after his inner core was extracted. He was unconscious for many days before waking up. He was devastated for a long time and planned to cultivate diligently to find Ruan Ye and get to the bottom of things. Because he didn't have his mother's protection, he had a very difficult time."

Every day he faced all sorts of bullying. The second male lead's wounds were left from countless instances of bullying. Later, when the little monster in the forest got tired of it, it mixed bone-dissolving water into its blade and slashed the second male lead, not only doubling the pain but also leaving all sorts of ugly scars.

On that very day, the second male lead developed another personality, which is why this other personality is entirely black—it represents the second male lead's dark side. This alternate personality killed everyone who had bullied the primary personality.

Because the ringleader was killed, the other demons began to fear the second male lead. From then on, whenever a demon bullied him, his alternate personality would emerge to kill. Several hundred years later, the demon race came to respect strength.

The second male lead's power made all demons bow down to him, but he wasn't interested. He infiltrated the sect in disguise to find out where Ruan Ye was. The day the host met the second male lead was when the alternate personality killed a disciple who spoke ill of the second male lead, and the primary personality happened to emerge.

After hearing 003's words, Xu Qiuqiu's tears fell. Her heart ached as if it were being clenched. Just listening to 003's calm narration was painful for her. She couldn't imagine how A-Fun had endured it all...

Seeing Xu Qiuqiu cry, 003 panicked and quickly comforted her: "Host, don't be sad. Now that the second male lead has taken his revenge, he should have no more resentment."

"It's nothing, I just feel unwell..." Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

003 was getting a little anxious, so it quickly changed the subject: "The second male lead has a secret, would you like to know, host?"

Xu Qiuqiu's attention was indeed drawn. She wiped away her tears and asked, "What secret?"

Seeing that Xu Qiuqiu had stopped crying, 003 felt a little relieved and obediently replied, "Host, the demon race in this plane has a very interesting setting. When they meet someone they like, their whole body gets hot, they want to take human form, they want to be touched by the person they like, and their emotions become even stronger when they are moved."

Upon hearing this answer, Xu Qiuqiu suddenly recalled that when they first met, A-Fen's face had an abnormal blush.

So, does that mean Ah-Feng liked her from the very beginning?

But when the alternate personality appeared, she also felt his burning body temperature.

She was a little confused. "Really? But hasn't the alternate personality always wanted to kill me?"

003 analyzed: "It's possible that the second male lead's mother didn't tell him that the second male lead has only known how to cultivate killing for hundreds of years. I guess that at the beginning, the alternate personality thought that he was being restrained, so he wanted to kill the host, but he couldn't bring himself to do it."

Because it witnessed the second male lead revealing his beast ears and controlling the host to stroke him, proving that the second male lead liked the host.

Even it didn't expect that the second male lead would want to kill the host the next second. However, after learning about the second male lead's background, it felt that it was fortunate that the host was liked by the second male lead, otherwise the second male lead would not have hesitated at all that night and would have killed the host directly.

"Where is A-Fen? I need to find him." Xu Qiuqiu stood up, but before she could take two steps, the chains on her ankles restrained her.

She was pulled back to the bed by chains.

In her haste, she forgot that she was locked out.

She didn't know what material the chain was made of. No matter what magical weapon she used to cut it, it was useless. Not only could it not be broken, but it didn't even leave a scratch.

She could only lie down in despair; it seemed she could only wait for A-Fen to come to her.

The dark, damp dungeon reeked of mildew and blood, with only a few oil lamps casting a faint light.

Ruan Ye's arms were both broken, and the pain tormented his nerves.

In front of him lay the body of Nguyen Chee Le, whom he had just watched slowly die.

His Li'er died with hatred in her eyes. He hated her so much! He should have burned Mo Chen's body back then. Now he's gone mad, all his magical artifacts are destroyed, and his hand that draws talismans is broken. He lives like a cripple.

Not far away, he heard the sound of footsteps. He looked up and saw Mo Chen, dressed in white, walking in.

He cursed hatefully, "You beast! Kill me if you dare!"

Mo Yun found that his heart seemed to be calm, and he smiled and said, "You can still speak so loudly, it seems you have recovered quite well."

Ruan Ye spat, "You monster! You beast! You killed your own brother and even tried to kill your father. You truly deserve to be killed by everyone!"

Looking at the impotent rage of Ruan Ye, Mo Yun found it amusing. "You're really joking. Ruan Zhili should have died hundreds of years ago. Isn't giving him a few hundred more years enough?"

“You’re worse than an animal! You wretched creature!” Ruan Ye continued to curse.

"So noisy," Mo Chen said coldly.

A powerful red light slashed through Ruan Ye's throat, and blood gushed out.

Ruan Ye could no longer utter a sound, because his vocal cords had also been cut.

Ruan Ye felt he was finally free and no longer had to live in pain. However, a healing spell flowed into his throat, and the wound stopped bleeding.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Mo Yan.

What exactly does he want to do?

Mo Chen put a pill into his mouth. "I told you I wouldn't let you die, how could you die? Don't worry, I'll often give you pills to prolong your life. You'll live as long as I live, okay? See how filial I am to you?"

He chuckled softly towards the end, a sound that was particularly terrifying and chilling in the dimly lit dungeon.

If he weren't afraid that killing Ruan Ye would make him disappear, he wouldn't have spared the old man's life.
