Chapter 29 The Witchcraft Boy 28

He was both angry and resentful, but he still couldn't believe that Xu Xiaoqiu had fallen for someone else so quickly. He showed a hurt look in his eyes, "Xiaoqiu, have you really forgotten our past? You said you would always be with me. Xiaoqiu, I know you're just using this man to make me angry, but it doesn't matter. As long as you come back, I'll always be waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuqiu watched as Qi Chen's face slowly darkened again. She felt a headache coming on. She glanced speechlessly at Qi Gunan, thinking, "Brother, could you please say less? It's exhausting for her to coax people, you know."

When Qi Chen noticed Xu Qiuqiu glancing at Qi Gunan, his expression turned cold. He tried hard to suppress the crazy thoughts in his heart and not let his emotions show. Heaven knows how jealous he was of that man having so many memories with Qiuqiu. His jealousy made his heart feel like it had been stabbed several times, cold and painful.

But he didn't show any of this. He lowered his head and gently squeezed Xu Qiuqiu's hand back, and said in a low voice, "Qiuqiu, wait for me. I'm going to say a few words to my cousin. I'll be right back."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and walked towards Qi Gu Nan.

To poison or use a curse, one must get close; if one is too far away, the poison may not succeed. He planned to go over and kill him personally.

Everything else can be tolerated, but he dared to covet his Qiuqiu, so he must die!

If she didn't know Qi Chen well, she might have been fooled by his gentle tone. Xu Qiuqiu quickly grabbed Qi Chen's arm and said to Qi Gu Nan, "Qi Gu Nan, stop being so presumptuous. I was just young and ignorant when I was fooled by you. And don't think that you can cover up the fact that you locked me up in the maze and imprisoned me."

"And what you're talking about about gaining popularity is completely untrue. I didn't know what liking someone meant before, but after meeting Achen, I realized that I had never liked you before."

[Beep, the female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%, currently at 70%]

After the electronic voice sounded, Xu Qiuqiu felt a little confused. How did her happiness points increase again?

Hearing these words, Qi Chen felt his previously lifeless heart suddenly come alive. He asked cautiously yet expectantly, "Qiuqiu, is what you said true?"

“Of course, Ah Chen, don’t listen to the nonsense of an unimportant person,” Xu Qiuqiu said seriously to Qi Chen immediately.

Seeing his lips curl into a smile again, Xu Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. She admired herself; lately, she could just throw in sweet nothings without hesitation.

Qi Chen was thrilled. It turned out that Qiu Qiu had never liked anyone else; she only liked him. He began to feel sweet again.

Yun Yulu watched the interaction between the two with great interest, and even wanted to eat some melon seeds. She turned her head and found that her master and junior sisters had indescribable expressions. She suddenly wanted to laugh. She had eaten dog food all morning, and she guessed that her expression was the same as theirs at that time.

Qi Gunan was so angry his eyes were almost bloodshot. He looked at the two people in front of him, who were so affectionate and didn't seem to care about him at all. "Xiao Qiu, I don't believe what you're saying. You must be lying to me!"

Qi Chen had already forgotten what he was about to do, but when Qi Gu Nan spoke, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been about to kill him. Before he could make a move, Qiu Qiu pulled him down, and he looked at her in confusion.

Xu Qiuqiu tiptoed and kissed Qi Chen on the lips, then said to Qi Gu Nan, "Now you should believe me, right?"

Seeing Qi Gu Nan's face contort with anger, she felt incredibly satisfied.

Qi Chen's face flushed red. "Qiuqiu, there are so many people here, this isn't appropriate. If you want to kiss, we can go back inside and kiss."

Although he said that, he was actually overjoyed. This was the first time Qiuqiu had ever kissed him on her own initiative. He was so happy that he was dizzy and forgot to think.

[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%. Her current happiness level is 80%.]

Seeing Qi Chen's increasingly clingy gaze, Xu Qiuqiu thought to herself, "His coy rejection is practically written all over his face, yet he's still pretending to be innocent." But she had to admit she was quite susceptible to it. "Okay, whatever A-Chen says."

As expected, he was even happier after she finished speaking. Xu Qiuqiu also fell into deep thought. What was going on with her happiness value today? Why was it increasing so rapidly? Could it be because she cheated on the male lead, and the original female lead felt good about punishing the scumbag, so she increased her happiness value?

Qi Gunan watched the two continuing their flirtatious banter, so angry he could hardly breathe. He had been insulted by this group of wicked women since he arrived, and he had never been treated like this before. He was already being kind enough to lower himself and ask her for her hand in marriage, yet she still had to humiliate him like this.

This despicable couple made it seem like he really cared about her. Seeing that the Hehuan Sect had a large number of members, he realized he couldn't win against them alone. Enraged, he kicked over the betrothal gifts he had just brought and turned to leave.

Seeing Qi Gu Nan's actions, Lan Rui's eyes darkened slightly. She raised her hand, pulled a hairpin from her hair, and used her inner strength to strike Qi Gu Nan's leg.

Because of the speed, Qi Gunan was hit before he could react and dodge, falling to the ground and unable to get up for a long time. Qi Gunan clutched his leg, and an excruciating pain shot through him. He felt as if his leg bones were broken, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream.

Lan Rui looked at Qi Gu Nan, who was lying on the ground in pain and his face was turning blue, and said coldly, "Do you think the Hehuan Sect is a place you can come and go as you please? I just gave you a chance to kowtow to Xiao Qiu and apologize. If you kowtowed until Xiao Qiu was satisfied, I might have let you off."

"You don't cherish it, fine, but you think you can leave so easily?"

Humiliated and suffering excruciating pain in his leg, Qi Gunan was on the verge of collapse, and his words began to flow incoherently, "Why should I apologize? It was clearly her own choice, so why are you pretending to be so high and mighty now?"

"You women of the Hehuan Sect change men as soon as you see them. It's disgusting, shameless, a bunch of sluts!"

Listening to Qi Gunan's words, Xu Qiuqiu thought to herself that this male lead was really fearless. He was practically stepping on landmines and courting death. She had never seen such an arrogant male lead before.

Everyone present, except for Xu Qiuqiu who remained relatively calm, was furious.

Lan Rui's eyes turned cold. "Drag this fool into the water dungeon."

“Then take good care of him for me.” Lan Rui emphasized the word “take good care of him.”

Immediately afterwards, a burly-looking servant came over and dragged Qi Gu Nan away like a dead pig.

Qi Gunan was already in excruciating pain from his broken leg, and being dragged like this made the pain even worse, causing him to groan in agony.

The servant didn't care about any of that and kept dragging things out until he disappeared from everyone's sight.
