Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

deep forest

The shadows of the trees swayed, the weeds remained, and occasionally a splash of blood mingled with the dark gold.

The dragon's shadow swept past and entered a depression.

"Cough, cough"

With a violent dry cough.

Blood gushed from the corner of Qin Huaiyu's mouth; he finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The reason I've been able to travel this far is entirely due to my unwavering determination.

Now that it's finally finished, my soul can no longer sustain it.

The killing power has already torn apart the last line of defense.

He could clearly feel his soul being eroded.

It was cold, extremely cold, as if I were standing in a freezing pool.

Consciousness was frozen, and even the slightest thought became incredibly difficult, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, unable to move an inch.

The body's sensations rapidly diminish, as if the nerves are detached.

My hands and feet won't obey my commands.

With a "thump".

He paused, then stumbled forward and fell to the ground.

However, I have no consciousness and feel nothing. Now, even feeling some pain is a hope.

That's it!

Although I felt unwilling, it was too late to change anything.

If only I hadn't used force, was it worth it for others?

I don't consider myself a good person, so why would I risk my life for someone else?

...It must be because of Chu Yanxi. If she dies, I will die too.

Only by protecting her can I be saved.

As for Sister Yun…

Forget it, it's all going to be gone anyway, why be so sentimental?

He comforted himself in this way, as if only in this way could he conceal the despair in his heart and the heavy fatigue.

Yes, I'm tired!

too tired!

A kind of almost parched exhaustion, as if the soul had been drained.

Even opening my eyes felt like a luxury.

"Huaiyu!"

"Little brother!"

Qin Huaiyu seemed to hear Yanxi and Sister Yun calling.

However, the sound seemed to be thousands of miles away, and it was gradually fading away until it disappeared.

They should have looked back and observed.

But even his thoughts and desires have become mere wishes; how could he possibly control himself? He can only be numbly swallowed by the darkness.

What divine thoughts, what power, all return to nothingness.

It truly lives up to the name of Yan Tongfei's magic.

"Little brother, little brother..."

Yun Suyan looked at Qin Huaiyu, who was lying motionless on the ground, and knelt down.

She tried her best to suppress her shouts, her eyes were red, and the veins on her neck bulged due to her uncontrollable emotions.

She seemed to sense Qin Huaiyu's departure and fell into a state of extreme grief.

Ignoring his own injuries, all he could see and felt was the pale face on the ground.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know a little about medicine, he'll be alright, he'll be alright!"

In short, it seems to be comforting others, but it's more like comforting oneself.

Chu Yanxi tried to appear calm, but her trembling hands betrayed her inner turmoil.

Having spent so much time with him, I've unknowingly taken that confident and composed face into my heart.

The intense, throbbing pain in my heart is far worse than any physical wound.

She forced herself to take Qin Huaiyu's pulse and sent her divine sense into his body.

The image that came to mind was a blooming golden lotus, a spinning lotus bead, and fragments exuding intense killing power.

There was also the plump Blood Spirit Insect King, and the circulating Blood Core.

These things...

...No wonder Huaiyu is so strong. Any one of the things inside his body is a treasure that would make any power envious!

But where is the injury?

Chu Yanxi frowned and delved into the depths of her divine sense, but in just an instant, her expression changed drastically.

Seeing that her expression was off, Yun Suyan hurriedly said:

"How is it?"

"It's a soul injury. His soul had already suffered severe damage before, causing his soul body to become unstable. Now he has used power he shouldn't have, causing his soul to be corroded by this power. If this continues, he will probably become a puppet that only knows how to kill!"

How could that be? He was injured before, how could I not know?

Still, it's a wound to the soul...

Could it be that time with Shen Zhiyuan...?

Yun Suyan didn't even have time to think it over before she said...

"Xiao Xi, is there still hope?"

"I don't know!"

Chu Yanxi paused, a conflicted look appearing on her face.

The soul wound... perhaps Father's Heavenly Nether Grass would be useful, but that was Father's precious treasure...

"I don't know, what do you mean? Tell me quickly!" Yun Suyan urged.

...Never mind, what treasure is there compared to Huaiyu's life? Besides, he did it to save me. Without him, I wouldn't be here!

In just a moment, Chu Yanxi made her decision and said:

"Perhaps it's still worth a try, but we need to get back to Jian'an as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she quickly helped the person up.

Seeing this, Yun Suyan rushed to help. The two of them disregarded their own safety and used their Nightmare Power to quickly head down the mountain.

Just before leaving, they both glanced back in the direction of the mountain stream.

"Yan family, just wait! I will make you pay for what happened here!"

.........

midday

outside Langmu Village

The fields are beautiful and the scenery is delightful.

The peach tree still stands at the sorceress's dwelling, and her green face remains unchanged.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind swept by, and peach leaves fell one by one.

Dust rose from the walls, flowers swayed in the courtyard, and a blurry figure drifted into the hall.

The sorceress was dressed the same as the day before, with makeup on her face, wearing a plain robe, and lying cross-legged.

"Was there any result?"

She asked in a hoarse voice.

The figure was indistinct, yet it drifted elusively to the sorceress's ear.

"..."

Silent and still, yet like a secret conversation.

The fortune teller's face sometimes furrowed, sometimes smiled, and sometimes stared blankly...

About half an hour

As the figure drifted away, the sorceress's face revealed an unprecedented look of joy.

"Found it! Finally found it! I can go home!"
