Chapter 236: Madam Yu’s Love (Third Update)

Because of this, Ye Wenxin did not leave. She watched Madam Yu carefully put away the doll, then pick it up with both hands and let out a deep sigh.

“Why does it have to be you?”

The doll was incredibly cute but looked somewhat familiar. Ye Wenxin changed her position, sitting on a peach blossom tree and looking down.

She noticed that the doll was wearing the Azure Wings Sect outer disciple attire.

Ye Wenxin was even more puzzled. Upon observation, she saw that Madam Yu was embroidering a girl doll. Despite its somewhat chibi appearance, Ye Wenxin still felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the doll.

Ye Wenxin, perched in the tree, was startled, and thought she had been discovered.

But on second thought, she realized that Madam Yu had no cultivation. She halted, and continued to watch as Madam Yu amused herself.

“Why does Ni Ni have to like you?” Madam Yu continued to sigh. This time, however, she threw the doll into the distance.

For some reason, Ye Wenxin thought of the anime she watched on Earth, Crayon Shin-chan, and remembered Nene’s violent mother. At this moment, she saw the shadow of that mother in Madam Yu.

However, Madam Yu’s words gave her a foreboding feeling.

Could it be…

Ye Wenxin suddenly didn’t want to think about it anymore. She saw Madam Yu slowly walk over to pick up the doll again.

Just as Ye Wenxin thought the doll’s torment was over, Madam Yu walked towards a peach blossom tree with the doll in her arms, then raised the dagger again and stabbed the doll several times. (TL: Aiyaa)

The scene was too realistic; it made Ye Wenxin wonder if Madam Yu was actually stabbing her that many times.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Madam Yu, agitated by her emotions, started coughing into a handkerchief again.

Even though Ye Wenxin’s treatment had prolonged Madam Yu’s life by a few years, her death remained inevitable.

After watching Madam Yu stab the doll, Ye Wenxin regretted her own violent treatment. Recalling the red aura from earlier, she felt that Madam Yu’s murderous intent was directed entirely at her.

Ye Wenxin smiled bitterly, suddenly pessimistic about the prospects of cooperation between the Cozy Gang and Green Isle Manor. She even felt that the road ahead was long and difficult.

Ye Wenxin turned to leave, wanting to escape the horrific sight of Madam Yu dismembering the ‘Ye Wenxin doll’ with a dagger. However, she then heard new footsteps approaching.

“Mother, are you here?” Qiao Ni’s voice came, stopping Ye Wenxin in her tracks.

Madam Yu immediately became a bit flustered. She quickly hid the ‘Ye Wenxin doll’ in her bag of holding, not wanting Qiao Ni to see her violent and bloody behavior.

Ye Wenxin found this even more interesting. She saw Qiao Ni, dressed in light blue, appear.

She was already naturally delicate and lovely. Dressed like this, the petite Qiao Ni was even more eye-catching.

Standing with Madam Yu, they looked like a pair of exquisite beauties, one big and one small. However, Ye Wenxin didn’t continue to admire them.

She was very curious about the private interactions between this mother and daughter, so she shifted to a more comfortable position in the tree, intending to listen to their everyday conversation.

“Ni Ni, why are you here?” Madam Yu reverted to her usual motherly image, gentle as water, as if the murderous intent from earlier had merely been an illusion.

“Mother, did you forget? You promised to take me to see Sister Wenxin.”

Hearing the sweet little voice call out ‘Sister Wenxin’, Ye Wenxin, who was watching the scene, shuddered slightly.

She didn’t miss the flash of murderous intent in Madam Yu’s eyes.

It seemed that the humiliation from that day still lingered in her mind, which was why Qiao Ni hadn’t appeared within Ye Wenxin’s range these past days.

“Miss Wenxin has just become a true disciple and must be very busy. Ni Ni, you’re a good child, how could you possibly disturb Miss Wenxin’s cultivation?”

Madam Yu spoke earnestly, probably always using this excuse to placate Qiao Ni. But Qiao Ni seemed very dissatisfied.

“Hmph, Mother must want to monopolize Sister Wenxin. I saw you two last time, you were hugging each other.”

Qiao Ni was even more dissatisfied. If she were older, Ye Wenxin would have thought that her overwhelming peach blossom aura had influenced her.

But since Qiao Ni was only twelve, it made Ye Wenxin shudder even more, afraid of being labeled as something worse than a beast.

“That… last time, I just fainted. I didn’t do anything with her,” Madam Yu said, feeling extremely embarrassed, though the murderous intent in her eyes grew stronger.

Clearly, Qiao Ni was the source of Madam Yu’s murderous intent.

Because Qiao Ni harbored great affection for Ye Wenxin, combined with Ye Wenxin’s impudent behavior that day, Madam Yu had taken note of this grudge.

“But I really want to see Sister Wenxin,” Qiao Ni sobbed, “and didn’t you say we were leaving? Can’t you let me play with Sister Wenxin a bit longer?”

Qiao Ni began to throw a childish tantrum. Madam Yu looked even more troubled, feeling helpless in the face of Qiao Ni’s whining, but unable to agree.

“Ni Ni, Miss Wenxin is not a good person. Her life is too chaotic.”

Madam Yu couldn’t help but tell the truth. After seeing the hickeys on Ye Wenxin that day, she had someone investigate Ye Wenxin’s behavior.

The investigation revealed that Ye Wenxin swung both ways and had no taboos.

Madam Yu was extremely worried about her twelve-year-old daughter possibly being deceived, and taken advantage of by Ye Wenxin. This was why she forbade her daughter from associating with Ye Wenxin. (TL: Entirely understandable)

Unexpectedly, Qiao Ni seemed infatuated, calling out Ye Wenxin’s name every day. This left Madam Yu with no choice, and she ultimately made a request to the Sect Master of Azure Wings Sect, for Ye Wenxin to be one of their escorts.

However, now Madam Yu couldn’t keep an eye on Qiao Ni all the time, so she didn’t want to give Qiao Ni the opportunity to see Ye Wenxin.

She also feared a repeat of the humiliation from that day when Ye Wenxin stripped her clothes off. Even though Ye Wenxin had indeed alleviated her illness, Madam Yu couldn’t get past her inner doubts.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. But today, Qiao Ni was much more stubborn than usual, clinging to her and pleading relentlessly.

Helpless, Madam Yu continued, “I made a doll of Miss Wenxin. These days, just settle for holding her, hm?”

Ye Wenxin suddenly lowered her head, but remembering that a doll had just been completely torn apart by Madam Yu, it was really hard to believe how she had the courage to take that doll out.

As she spoke, Madam Yu indeed took out a doll.

Wearing the Azure Wings Sect outer disciple attire, it bore some resemblance to Ye Wenxin’s appearance, but strangely, this doll had no external injuries whatsoever, let alone terrifying internal injuries like being disemboweled.

TL: Wenxin sure f***ed up with Madam Yu.
