“Who said you could leave?”
A faint voice came from behind; Lin Qingxue’s steps, which she had just taken, stopped in place.
She turned around.
Only to see Ye Shu leaning against a large tree, a Foxtail Grass dangling from his mouth, looking at her with a roguish smile.
“Where is Miss Lin in such a hurry to go?”
“You…”
Lin Qingxue was momentarily stunned.
“Weren’t you just lying there like a dead dog with your Face buried in the water?
How are you standing there perfectly fine now?
And…
looking like a scoundrel?”
“A scoundrel?”
Ye Shu was so angry he laughed.
Damn it, he had popped three Healing Pills while her back was turned, forcibly suppressing his injuries to strike this dashing and unrestrained pose to save some Face.
And yet, he was called a scoundrel?
But at the thought of what he was about to say next, Ye Shu couldn’t help but want to laugh, so he stopped dwelling on her slip of the tongue.
“Miss Lin, why are you leaving already?”
“Not going to chat for a bit?”
He leaned against the tree, the Foxtail Grass swaying leisurely.
Seeing him like this, Lin Qingxue wasn’t annoyed either: “I have nothing to chat about with a Lecher like you.
Anyway, I’ve already defeated you, and you’ve made a Heavenly Dao Oath.
I can leave whenever I want; you can’t stop me.”
With that, she turned to leave.
But perhaps because she had been beaten earlier and had pitifully begged for her life in front of Ye Shu, she felt she had lost too much Face.
The more Lin Qingxue thought about it, the angrier she became.
Finally, she turned around and, while walking backward, pulled down her lower eyelid with a finger, made an exaggerated Face at him, and stuck out her tongue: “Blehhhh~ Defeated Opponent!
If you’re so capable, come and hit me!”
“Use that Ghost Possession move of yours from before to hit me!”
“Oh~”
She exaggeratedly held up four fingers and made a gesture.
“I almost forgot, you just swore an oath that you’d let me go as long as I defeated you.
Now that the oath is set, even if you’re so angry your teeth itch, you can only watch me leave!”
Lin Qingxue spoke with increasing smugness, as if venting all the frustration of being insta-killed earlier and the elation of her current “grand victory,” her small Face filled with a winner’s pride.
Looking at the suddenly changed Lin Qingxue, the corner of Ye Shu’s mouth twitched.
He glanced at Xiao Bai beside him and whispered:
“This isn’t right, is it?
Isn’t she a Rebirth avenger?
This style is like a three-year-old child.”
“Don’t you think it’s cute?”
Xiao Bai, however, looked like it was only natural.
She puffed out her chest and said with an air of maturity, “The Female Lead must have character!
Who would like someone who’s always fighting and killing with a deadpan Face?
She definitely needs to be sweet yet spicy, capable of fighting and being coquettish.”
“Look at her Face, her figure.”
“Setting aside the fact that she just tried to kill you, don’t you feel even a little stir in your heart?”
Hearing this, Ye Shu took a careful look at Lin Qingxue.
Before, he was too focused on surviving and hadn’t really looked closely.
At a glance now, the girl’s figure was charming, her pink dress making her skin look as white as snow.
Her round Face was slightly flushed with pride, and her pouting yet cunning look was indeed…
quite cute.
But the key problem was…
he couldn’t set it aside.
“At most, she could be a plaything…”
Ye Shu commented while stroking his chin.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Bai with an expression as if she’d seen a ghost, her large eyes wide and round, her small mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.
“H-How could you say such a thing?!”
“You’re the protagonist!”
“Quickly throw away those Evil Path thoughts!” Xiao Bai shouted while jumping onto Ye Shu’s shoulder, grabbing his neck and shaking him back and forth.
“If you really dare to act like a Villain and do bad things, I’ll…”
“I’ll cut my own throat and return to the heavens!”
She said solemnly, her small Face full of grief.
As if if Ye Shu dared to walk the Evil Path, she really would use her death to show her resolve.
Ye Shu was amused by her.
On the other side, Lin Qingxue saw Ye Shu staring at her, then suddenly shaking his head, sometimes smirking, and sometimes looking serious.
She thought he was so angry at her that his blood was boiling and his brain had broken.
“Hmph!
As expected, This Young Lady has driven him mad with anger.”
Lin Qingxue grumbled to herself, her mood incredibly good, and a smug smile couldn’t help but appear on her Face.
“Whatever, running away is what’s important.”
“Once I get back, I’ll find a way to kill this Wicked Lecher, so the sin of him causing Senior Brother’s death in the previous life can never be repeated in this life!”
Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue no longer hesitated.
She made one last Face at Ye Shu, patted her own bottom, then turned around, pouring spiritual power into her legs.
“Smelly Lecher, This Young Lady is leaving~”
However, before her voice had even faded, she heard a faint chuckle from behind.
“Miss Lin, when did I say you could leave?”
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Reason told her that since she won, she could leave, but there was an ominous premonition in her heart that made her feel things weren’t that simple.
She hesitated to take that next step.
In the end, Lin Qingxue slowly turned around.
“You’ve already lost!
You’re not allowed to go back on your word!”
Only to see Ye Shu leaning against the tree, looking at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, saying with a melancholy Face: “What I, Ye Shu, love doing most in this life is making people suffer a crushing defeat just when they think they have victory in their grasp!”
“Show-off…”
Looking at his show-off expression, Lin Qingxue curled her lip in disdain.
“I’m the winner now, and you’ve already sworn an oath.
If you forcibly stop me, you’ll be struck by heavenly lightning and turned into dust!”
Although she had already vaguely sensed something was wrong.
But that didn’t stop her from being stubborn.
No matter what, the loser was Ye Shu, and the winner was her!
The advantage is mine!
“Miss Lin.” Ye Shu shook his head somewhat amusedly.
“I only said I’d let you go if a victory was won, but I never said who had to win for you to be released.”
“You have to stay until…”
“…until I defeat you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Qingxue was stunned.
At this moment, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
Why were there such shameless fellows in this world!
“Bastard!”
“…”
