The Beautiful Villain

Ye Nanque never expected that one day he would transmigrate into a cultivation novel and have to play a villain. The original character was the main antagonist, malicious, cunning, and cruel. Ye Na...

Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Did I really teach you wrongly?

Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Did I really teach you wrongly?

Due to his personality, Ye Nanque can't stand seeing others looking pitiful or weak. He repeatedly reminds himself that this is acting and he can't be soft-hearted, and everything must be based on reader satisfaction.

After trying to persuade himself for a long time, all he could do in the end was to pretend to be tough and turn his head away, not looking at Mu Jiulin or talking to him.

He had hallucinations intermittently over the next few days, but it was okay. Since he was mentally prepared, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Less than a month later, Jiang Caiyu returned.

When Jiang Caiyu came back, the first thing she did was to ask about Ye Nanque's health.

Ye Nanque lied and said that he had not recovered yet and still needed to rest, and wanted a quiet room where he could retreat.

Jiang Caiyu's eyes are very light-colored. People with light-colored eyes always give people the illusion that they have strong insight. It may also be because Jiang Caiyu has been Ye Nanque's master for so long that Ye Nanque can't help but feel afraid of him. When his eyes look at him, Ye Nanque feels as if everything he sees through is revealed to him, and he feels uncomfortable all over.

"A quiet room? I don't think there's any need for one." Jiang Caiyu said, "I'm going to be copying the 'Dayan Heart Purifying Mantra' these days. You and I can both be together and relax and refresh your mind."

Ye Nanque had never done this kind of thing with Jiang Caiyu before. The whole room was very quiet and you could hear a pin drop. Jiang Caiyu was concentrating on the "Dayan Qingxin Mantra". Ye Nanque sat beside her and pretended to imitate Jiang Caiyu's sage-like appearance.

Ye Nanque: [Ah, it really cultivates one's sentiments!]

System: […You alone know what cultivating one’s sentiments is?]

Ye Nanque: [Ah, it really is about cultivating one's character!]

System: [Have you become stupid from copying books? Speak human language.]

Ye Nanque bit her handkerchief, tears welling up in her eyes. "So boring! It's all so boring. I've been copying the 'Dayan Qingxin Mantra' here for a week straight. Jiang Caiyu won't say a word to me, and I don't know where Mu Jiulin has gone. He said he'd keep an eye on me every day, but lately he's been gone. Ha, man. It's so boring!!"

System: [Well, that's more like you.]

Ye Nanque was so bored that he was even thinking about how to cause trouble secretly.

He dealt with Chou Song and absorbed his power, so he could take over the bad things that Chou Song did in the original book.

As a geek, Chosong conducted a second experiment after the failure of the first experiment based on the principle of never giving up or abandoning. In the second experiment, he did not use humans as experimental subjects.

He used the Kyushu continent as an experimental subject.

Chosong thought, since it was difficult for demons and cultivators to combine, he would try another method and turn all cultivators in the world into demon cultivators. The specific operation was to cut off the Hengshui River.

Hengshui supplies spiritual energy to Jiuzhou. If the Hengshui River is cut off, the spiritual energy of the world will dissipate and demonic energy will spread. These cultivators will not be able to continue their practice and can only cultivate magic.

As Ye Nanque was thinking, the sky suddenly darkened and the window paper rustled in the wind. It was bright and clear just a moment ago, but suddenly it was as dark as dusk.

Ye Nanque was worried that Jiang Caiyu couldn't read clearly, so she stood up to light a candle. She tried several times to light the candle but it didn't catch on fire. When it finally did, the door blew open and the candle went out again.

Ye Nanque went to close the door first, and when he looked up, his eyes met with something outside the door.

Calling it a thing wasn't quite accurate; it was more like Chou Song. But it wasn't the Chou Song he'd seen before. The Chou Song before him had skin and flesh peeling off, with not a single spot intact on his body. Only his eyes were still recognizable.

Ye Nanque was so scared that he took a big step back.

He had known that this book loved to play with this kind of sanity, but why did Chou Song still appear? Hadn't he and Mu Jiulin already eliminated Chou Song together? Then what was this thing that appeared before his eyes?

Illusion? Could this also be an illusion?

If it were any other scenario, it would be fine, but Ye Nanque really couldn't tell at that moment. People shouldn't do bad things. Once they do, they have a guilty conscience. He had indeed killed Chou Song, and his power had been taken away by him, so it made perfect sense for Chou Song to come seeking revenge.

Ye Nanque was in a trance for a moment, feeling guilty, not knowing whether he was in an illusion or in reality.

No matter what, close the door first.

Ye Nanque slammed the door shut. Before he could look back at Jiang Caiyu's reaction, Chou Song teleported to the door, and several bloody handprints instantly appeared on the door.

Outside the house, Chou Song laughed in a creepy way: "Ye Nanque, you dared to harm me and take away my soul, but now you don't dare to face me."

Ye Nanque was silent. At this moment, he really wanted to say, "You've got the wrong person. If you want to find someone, go to the system. If you want to find someone, go to the Book Transmigration Administration. He was simply forced into this situation. He was innocent." He didn't want to face this horror movie-like scene.

A bloody smell penetrated Ye Nanque's breath, and something sticky seeped in from the crack of the door under his feet, which was very disgusting. Ye Nanque stepped back and the door was opened.

Chosong dragged the Nine Nether Double Blades, which made a friction sound on the ground like nails scratching on a blackboard, making people feel uncomfortable from head to toe and even to their eardrums.

Ye Nanque tried to draw out Wuyin, but found himself unable to move under some kind of spell. He wanted to call out to Jiang Caiyu, but even his voice was gone.

Chou Song had already walked in front of him, his bloody face continuously enlarged: "Ye Nanque, I'm here for revenge."

The double blades were raised high above Ye Nanque's head, and Ye Nanque closed his eyes in fear.

If possible, he hopes Jiang Caiyu can save him.

If possible, he hopes the system will save him.

If that doesn't work, you can just block out the pain.

Snap——

There was a sound next to my ears, the sound of pages turning.

Something doesn't seem right...

Ye Nanque opened his eyes. There was nothing there, no Chou Song, no handprints, no sky that had suddenly darkened. He was still sitting at his desk, a scroll he had just copied lying on the table. Jiang Caiyu, turning the pages, straightened her hand and looked up at him, "You're sweating."

Ye Nanque touched his forehead and saw that it was covered in sweat.

"It's a bit hot."

Jiang Caiyu asked, "What did you see just now?"

Ye Nanque: "...No, I didn't see anything. I just took a nap accidentally."

Jiang Caiyu said: "In front of the Great Evolution Purifying Heart Mantra, no evil deeds can escape."

Ye Nanque: "...Master, what does this mean?"

"Are you still going to pretend that you know nothing?" Jiang Caiyu's tone was not very harsh, but it made Ye Nanque a little scared.

"Someone told me that you refined Chosong's primordial spirit. I didn't want to believe it, but now I can't help but believe it. For those with a clear conscience, the Great Evolution Heart Purification Mantra will only have the effect of clearing the mind and nourishing the spirit, but for those who do evil, it will backfire."

Ye Nanque's pupils dilated slightly, and he instantly realized that Jiang Caiyu had been testing him since the first day he returned to the Yu Jian Sect.

Ye Nanque flatly denied it: "I don't know what Master is talking about. I just accidentally dozed off and had a nightmare."

Jiang Caiyu raised her sharp gaze: "Do you dare to let me explore your soul?"

Of course Ye Nanque didn't dare.

Jiang Caiyu asked herself in confusion, "Why do you keep doing such evil things? Did I really teach you wrongly?"

Jiang Caiyu seemed to be really reflecting, but he couldn't understand what he was reflecting on.

Ye Nanque's lips trembled: "I just want to... become more powerful. Maybe then... then even Master will value me more than before..."

Jiang Caiyu: "Some things can be done and some things cannot be done. You have made too many excuses for yourself and have lost your sense of propriety. The Yu Jian Sect will not let you off easily."

Ye Nanque keenly noticed that Jiang Caiyu said "The Yu Jian Sect cannot let you off easily" instead of "I cannot let you off easily". Does this indicate that from Jiang Caiyu's perspective, she still cares about the friendship between teacher and student.

Jiang Caiyu: "Are you going to admit your mistake, or do you want to take action?"

Ye Nanque: "Master, what does it mean to admit your mistakes?"

Jiang Caiyu: "Twenty years, twenty years of reflection in the Demon Prison. During these twenty years, I will ask Master Yichuan to cleanse your spiritual veins. When you come out after twenty years, you will still be my disciple and can practice with me again."

Ye Nanque: "Master, are you going to destroy me?"

Jiang Caiyu: "It's a correction."

Ye Nanque lowered his head: "Correction? Only mistakes need to be corrected...but I never felt that I did anything wrong."

Jiang Caiyu: "It seems that you are unwilling to admit your mistake, then do it."

"Fight?" Ye Nanque looked at Jiang Caiyu expressionlessly: "Master, you are no match for me now."

This isn't humiliation, but rather a honest statement. The villain, like the protagonist, will find that as they grow, the people they once admired and found unattainable are no longer their equals.

Jiang Caiyu also knew that he was telling the truth and was not angry. It seemed as if she had already prepared a response: "Of course I'm not the only one."

A voice came from outside the door: "Junior Brother Jiang, there's no need to say more to him. I told him that if he really could do something as unorthodox as refining the Demon Lord for his own use, he would never admit his mistake."

Ye Nanque recognized that it was Uncle Master Hong's voice. He turned around and walked to the door, opened it, and saw that a formation had been set up outside to deal with him. Even You Bihuai had come out in person.

There actually came a day when all the elders of the Yu Jian Sect would have to be mobilized to deal with him.

The once respected elder no longer had the charitable and kind face he once had. You Bihuai looked at him sternly, "Nan Que, once you step out of this door, you'll never have the chance to admit your mistakes. This is truly beyond my expectation. You've always been a role model in the sect, always upright and polite. How could you do such a foolish thing?"

Ye Nanque smiled and said, "A role model for the sect? Upright and polite? I want to be that Ye Nanque too, but I, I know my limitations. I know that my qualifications are still far behind my true talent..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, but his footsteps did not stop. As he crossed the threshold, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ye Nanque's face turned cold: "Come together, disciple, I will learn from you."

The formation was activated. Ye Nanque had never seen this formation before. It was probably only activated by the elders when facing a strong enemy.

Sensing danger, the power of Chosong in Ye Nanque's body also expanded.

He suddenly felt excited, his blood boiling.

The way those people looked at him overlapped with the eyes of the righteous people chasing him in his imagination. At this moment, fantasy and reality were highly similar and indistinguishable.

Ye Nanque felt a silent hurricane rising in his body, rolling in from the devastated wasteland. This was the power of the ancient demons.
