Chapter 225: You’re the Demon Lord’s Illegitimate Daughter? (Second Update)

Warning: Graphic descriptions of violence

---

Her words carried a hint of amusement. She had thought that Ye Wenxin had finally learned to use her brain, but it turned out she still had to clean up after her.

If it hadn’t been for her timely intervention, Su Mei would have already spread the news of Ye Wenxin’s Iceborn Constitution to the whole world, just to perish together with Ye Wenxin.

“Every big villain starts as a small character. I actually had high hopes for Su Mei, but I didn’t expect her methods to be so pathetic.”

Thinking of how Su Mei specialized in honey trap, Ye Wenxin couldn’t hide her distaste. To villains, honey trap was the lowest form of strategy, incapable of truly ensnaring someone’s heart.

The more Su Mei listened, the more her expression darkened. Although she couldn’t understand most of what they were saying, she grasped how disdainful they were towards her existence.

“Su Mei, why have you stopped eating?” Long Qingyue smiled, setting aside Ye Wenxin’s question to instead look at the dumbstruck Su Mei.

Neither the Cave Master of Broken Dragon Cave nor Su Mei could leave this place alive, so Long Qingyue was quite willing to reveal more about their relationship to ease Su Mei’s departure.

“Even if I eat everything, won’t I still die?” Su Mei wiped the remaining blood from the corner of her mouth.

Long Qingyue smiled approvingly and continued, “I didn’t expect you to be at your smartest just before dying.” (TL: Savage)

“Can I ask why?” Su Mei calmed down, and Ye Wenxin noticed her subtle movements.

But no matter what she did, it was all futile struggle from their perspective. The black cat, as if also noticing Su Mei’s unusual behavior, opened its blood-red eyes again, ready to tear Su Mei apart at any moment.

“I told you, you provoked someone you shouldn’t have. Originally, I planned to let her deal with you, but unfortunately, she seems too modest.”

Long Qingyue smiled, looking at Ye Wenxin while her fingers gently stroked Ye Wenxin’s back.

Ye Wenxin felt quite uneasy. She couldn’t shake the thought that Long Qingyue was affected by her peach blossom luck, to the point where her actions started to seem flirtatious.

Naturally, Long Qingyue was referring to Ye Wenxin.

“I just thought you’d like to play, so I didn’t kill her and left her for you,” Ye Wenxin retorted. Although she was responding to Su Mei, the atmosphere between the two seemed to exclude anyone else.

The more Su Mei watched, the angrier she became, her face growing increasingly unpleasant. She pulled out the prepared talisman, and threw it at the two of them.

“Big Baby.” Seeing this, Long Qingyue merely called out the black cat’s name, and it immediately sprang into action. In a flash, the black cat had something in its mouth that looked like an arm.

Su Mei had no time to react. Looking at her now empty left arm, and then at the arm in the black cat’s mouth, she lost all strength to resist. Despair filled her eyes.

Ye Wenxin watched Su Mei’s futile struggle and beckoned to the black cat, who then brought the arm over. She glanced at it and burst out laughing, “You actually used a talisman in front of a talisman master?”

It was like an egg striking a rock. Su Mei had utterly overestimated her own capabilities, making Ye Wenxin think she had completely lost her mind.

“Please kill me,” Su Mei said weakly. She had admitted defeat, but it was only because Long Qingyue was too powerful; it had nothing to do with Ye Wenxin.

“Hehehe, what’s the hurry? I promised Fatty that I’d carve you up piece by piece.”

Ye Wenxin slowly approached Su Mei. With a flick of her silver needles, she sealed several of Su Mei’s acupoints, undoing the effects of Su Mei’s Disguise Pill.

Immediately, Su Mei’s beaten and bruised face appeared before Ye Wenxin. Ye Wenxin was satisfied to see this ugly appearance. “Yep, this look suits you much better.”

Grinning, she squatted in front of Su Mei. Su Mei seemed to think she had a chance to resist and tried to ram into Ye Wenxin, but lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, she collided with the Cave Master’s corpse, smearing more blood on her face. Without her hands, she couldn’t get up.

Ye Wenxin found this even more funny. She extended her foot and kicked Su Mei off the corpse, making her lie face-up. The humiliated Su Mei didn’t speak, just piercing her with a deadly glare, exclaiming, “Ye Wenxin, you will die a horrible death!”

“There are too many people who want to curse me,” Ye Wenxin replied with a smile. Su Mei became even angrier, so enraged that she couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Long Qingyue, sensing Ye Wenxin was playing too much, gave a reminder from behind.

“Sigh, your old habit is kicking in again. No wonder they say villains die from talking too much.”

Ye Wenxin suddenly realized she might have been having too much fun. She stood up slightly and harshly stabbed Su Mei’s shoulder with a silver needle.

“You see this?”

Su Mei remained silent, apparently rejecting all of Ye Wenxin’s propositions. Ye Wenxin wasn’t in a hurry. She slightly activated her Qi, and the blood immediately turned into red flowers.

“Do you know what this is?” Ye Wenxin asked again.

Su Mei still didn’t speak, but her gaze was fixed on the flowers, as if she was contemplating something.

Ye Wenxin pricked her a few more times with the silver needle, drawing more blood, forming one or two bright flowers.

Even if it wasn’t obvious before, seeing the red flowers now, Su Mei could only think of one, possible explanation.

“Flower Burial,” she weakly uttered the two words, finally understanding why Ye Wenxin and Long Qingyue could be together peacefully.

“Correct,” Ye Wenxin said with great satisfaction. She lightly touched Su Mei, injecting more Qi into her, and continued with a smile, “In just a second, all your blood will turn into red flowers and emerge from your body. Isn’t that beautiful?”

Ye Wenxin had a sinister grin on her face, and behind her, Long Qingyue watched her actions and thought that Ye Wenxin wasn’t much kinder than herself.

But precisely because they were villains, they had their own rules, and principles for everything in the world. They were on the side of evil, and would rather remain there.

“You… you are the Demon Lord’s daughter,” Su Mei’s expression grew more complex, but these words made Ye Wenxin freeze for a moment. She couldn’t help but glance at Long Qingyue behind her.

“Do you really have an illegitimate daughter? Now everyone thinks we had a child together!” Ye Wenxin’s tone carried dissatisfaction and resentment, as she had heard too many ambiguous rumors about the Demon Lord and the Eldest Princess in this world.

“You are not worthy of having a child with me!” Long Qingyue glared at Ye Wenxin. Despite a year of not seeing each other, Ye Wenxin dared to hold her in scorn. (TL: Pfft)

The pride of a strong woman couldn’t help but surge forth, but in Su Mei’s eyes, their interaction seemed more like that of a Dao couple than of a mother and daughter.

“You…” Realizing this, Su Mei couldn’t help but look at Ye Wenxin’s features again.
