All along, Gu Qingxue had been an extremely proud person.
She could not tolerate even the slightest flaw.
Qin Yuan thought to himself that he had already spoken so harshly. No matter how guilty she felt toward him, it should have been completely wiped away by now.
Yet what Gu Qingxue did next left Qin Yuan utterly shocked.
“I’m not leaving.”
Gu Qingxue’s voice was gentle, yet filled with unmistakable determination.
“Please believe me. I truly did not conspire with Su Fan. I have already completely fallen out with him. The reason I came here really is because Master punished me. From now on, wherever you go, I will go as well. No matter how much you hit me or scold me, I will never leave you again. I know… I did many things wrong before and hurt you. I will spend the rest of my life making up for it. I will use my life to regain your trust. Please give me a chance… alright?”
Under Qin Yuan’s stunned gaze, Gu Qingxue slowly knelt down on one knee.
“…”
Qin Yuan completely broke down.
What the hell was this?
What kind of shock had this woman gone through?
Gu Qingxue was supposed to be the first female lead in Su Fan’s story template. Even if she had learned the truth, her character should not have collapsed this badly.
Strange.
This was unbelievably strange.
“Gu Qingxue… are you really not leaving?”
Qin Yuan had no choice but to continue playing the role of a vicious villain, trying to force Gu Qingxue away.
If she did not leave, his plotline could not proceed.
As for Lan Yun’s punishment, he did not care at all.
Given Gu Qingxue’s status and Lan Yun’s affection for her, even if Gu Qingxue left the mountain, Lan Yun likely would not pursue the matter.
“I’m not leaving. I want to stay by your side forever.”
Gu Qingxue smiled through her tears, an extraordinarily beautiful smile blooming at her lips.
“You…”
Seeing this, Qin Yuan resorted to his final tactic and revealed a lecherous grin.
“Fine, fine. You’re sure you’re not leaving, right? Then don’t blame me for being rude.”
“What are you going to do?” Gu Qingxue looked at Qin Yuan with confusion.
“What do you think?”
Qin Yuan pretended to act like a libertine as he touched Gu Qingxue’s cheek.
“A lone man and a lone woman staying in a place like this… If we don’t do something, wouldn’t it be too boring? You’re the one giving me the opportunity.”
No woman could tolerate her purity being violated, especially a proud woman like Gu Qingxue.
Qin Yuan believed that now that he had revealed such a despicable side of himself, even if he had once saved her life, she would never tolerate it.
Yet once again, she surprised him.
“You want me?”
Gu Qingxue’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Uh…”
Qin Yuan choked on his own words and shouted angrily, “Didn’t you hear what I said just now? I’m going to violate you. Violate you. Do you understand?” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“I understand. Come.”
Gu Qingxue could not help but feel excited.
This was truly an unexpected blessing.
As long as she truly became Qin Yuan’s woman, even if Su Fan wanted to scheme against her in the future, it would almost be impossible.
After all, as the destined protagonist, how could Su Fan possibly be interested in another man’s wife?
Qin Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell was going on?
Miss Gu Qingxue, please understand that I’m threatening to assault you.
Assault!
Could you please stop looking so excited?
You’re going to scare the criminal!
Gu Qingxue was a very beautiful woman.
Even after Qin Yuan had reincarnated ninety-nine times and seen countless stunning women, Gu Qingxue would still rank among the best.
Any normal man would be tempted by such a woman.
But Qin Yuan clearly knew his goal.
He had to complete the plotline and become immortal.
Women were merely obstacles on his path to immortality.
When there were no women in one’s heart, the sword could be drawn naturally with divine clarity.
Therefore, he absolutely could not casually touch Gu Qingxue, the first female lead.
He was a villain. If he slept with the first female lead and cuckolded the protagonist, the entire plot would collapse beyond repair.
Unless the final life’s story happened to be one of those pure romantic tales about fairy maidens and divine women.
But judging from the current direction of the plotline, there was no sign of that at all.
Qin Yuan pushed away the eager Gu Qingxue and shouted angrily, “Gu Qingxue, have some self-respect!”
“Brother Qin Yuan, you speak too harshly.”
Gu Qingxue’s cheeks were flushed red, breathtakingly beautiful.
“I was always going to be your future wife. If you want me… I will give myself to you. What does self-respect matter?”
“You… Gu Qingxue, I never expected you to be this kind of person.”
Qin Yuan was furious. Gu Qingxue had truly gone mad.
“You… you… you’re shameless!”
In his rage, Qin Yuan blurted it out.
Even though she had mentally prepared herself, such a personal humiliation still nearly brought Gu Qingxue to tears.
Yet she stubbornly gazed at Qin Yuan with deep affection, her curved eyelashes trembling.
“Yes… I am shameless. But my conscience is clear. As long as I can win back your heart, even if I must be shameless for the rest of my life, I am willing.”
“…”
Qin Yuan sighed helplessly.
This woman was beyond saving.
“Gu Qingxue, are you really not leaving?”
“Brother Qin Yuan, take me.”
Gu Qingxue stepped forward, looking at him with sincerity.
Shing.
A sword was suddenly pressed against Gu Qingxue’s neck.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Disappear from my sight.”
Qin Yuan held the sword with a fierce gaze, killing intent flickering in his eyes.
Gu Qingxue smiled softly, completely unafraid.
“Even if you kill me, I won’t leave. Dying by your hand would be my greatest happiness.”
“You really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
Qin Yuan slowly applied pressure with the sword, leaving a thin line of blood on Gu Qingxue’s pale neck.
Gu Qingxue looked at Qin Yuan gently, her eyes filled only with warmth, without the slightest trace of fear.
“Fine. You win. I surrender.”
Qin Yuan threw the sword to the ground in frustration and turned to leave.
Gu Qingxue felt even more delighted inside. She knew Qin Yuan could never bring himself to kill her.
“Where are you going?”
“You love staying here so much, don’t you? Then stay. I’ll leave.”
Qin Yuan no longer wanted to argue with her.
The “running down the mountain for love” plotline basically meant that he believed false information and violated sect rules by leaving the mountain.
No matter the reason, as long as he went down the mountain and received punishment, the plot would be completed.
Why waste time arguing with this irrational woman?
“Don’t.”
Gu Qingxue immediately stood up and blocked Qin Yuan’s path. Avoiding his cold gaze, she bit her red lips lightly and said, “You are being punished with Wall Reflection right now. If you secretly go down the mountain, the punishment will be doubled.”
“Then doubled it will be. As long as I don’t have to see you. You disgust me.”
“…”
A trace of sadness flashed through Gu Qingxue’s eyes.
Although Qin Yuan still loved her, resentment still lingered in his heart.
After all, she had hurt him far too deeply.
“Alright… since you truly don’t want to see me, then I will leave.”
Gu Qingxue gave a bitter smile.
Qin Yuan finally relaxed. “At least you know what’s good for you. Hurry up and get lost. Don’t appear in front of me again.”
“Alright. Unless you come looking for me yourself, I won’t come in again.”
Gu Qingxue looked at Qin Yuan with deep affection before turning and walking out of the cave.
Come looking for you?
In your dreams.
Qin Yuan sneered, stretched lazily, and lay down on a massive rock, returning to his idle state.
However, it did not take long before he sensed something was wrong.
