After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad! - Chapter 11
The Jiuyan Sect had once again returned to tranquility. Xiao Hongyi and the others felt a wave of relief wash over them after reflecting on the moment that had just passed.
No one knew why Jiang Lianyue had changed her mind, the only certainty was…
After she gently landed, she murmured softly like a child who had made a mistake, “Master cannot die…”
Hearing this, Xiao Hongyi was deeply moved.
She quickly stepped forward, embracing Jiang Lianyue in her arms and crying tears of joy, “Good disciple! Fear not the madness. Master will help you stabilize your Dao Heart. I will definitely save you.”
Held in Xiao Hongyi’s embrace, Jiang Lianyue offered no response. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Chen, followed by a radiant smile.
Jiang Chen was completely stunned!
Like Xiao Hongyi, he believed that Jiang Lianyue must have been traumatized, which was why she had fallen into madness.
Imagine, what does it feel like to be stared at by a madwoman?
And what does it feel like when a madwoman smiles at you?
And once more, imagine!
A madwoman capable of destroying heaven and earth, who once loathed you but is now smiling at you, and not just any smile but a beautiful one, what kind of feelings would that evoke?
At this moment, all Jiang Chen could feel was his scalp tingling.
Meanwhile, several streaks of light were still rapidly approaching.
Xiao Hongyi’s brow furrowed slightly as she went to meet them.
Jiang Chen knew that these streaks of light must be the Sect Master and the senior elders.
All he could hope for now was that the senior elders would quickly take Jiang Lianyue away and lock her up!
Otherwise, he really couldn’t bear the feeling of being watched by a madwoman.
However, Jiang Chen was to be disappointed.
Whatever Xiao Hongyi had said, the streaks of light quickly returned to the main peak.
Jiang Lianyue was also surprised by this.
She had thought that she would definitely be locked up this time. If that were the case, she would have to threaten them by exploding her Imperial Essence again!
After all, she would rather be killed than never see Jiang Chen again!
As for others thinking she had fallen into madness?
Jiang Lianyue feels it doesn’t matter.
After watching nine cycles of reincarnation, she felt she had never been so clear-headed.
She didn’t care about what others thought.
The onlooker is confused.
To be precise, darkening (falling to the dark side) and falling into madness are similar.
Both are triggered by some kind of stimulus, leading to a drastic change in temperament, becoming extremely cold-blooded, and behaving in incomprehensible ways.
At the slightest disagreement, she would turn the Jiuyan Sect into a river of blood, which is both a sign of darkening and of madness.
Otherwise, with Xiao Hongyi’s cultivation, she would naturally be able to see at a glance whether Jiang Lianyue was truly clear headed.
“What did you say to them, Master?”
Unable to contain his curiosity, Jiang Chen asked Xiao Hongyi.
“I said Lianyue doesn’t want to hurt me, and only by staying by my side can she restrain herself and not explode her Imperial Essence again,” Xiao Hongyi replied.
She couldn’t help but straighten her back as she spoke, clearly very proud of herself.
This made Jiang Chen chuckle, and he responded, “Master, there’s no need to straighten your back. You’ve always had a good figure.”
“…”
Xiao Hongyi’s expression immediately darkened, and her recently improved opinion of Jiang Chen plummeted once again.
What she didn’t know was that the reason Jiang Chen was so brazen was precisely to solidify his image as a villain.
After nine cycles of reincarnation, his actions caused Xiao Hongyi to change her opinion of him for the better more than once, but these changes would again fall through due to various ‘evil deeds’ and coincidences.
This made Xiao Hongyi in agony.
Even if Jiang Chen had died, she still filled with regret and blamed herself! She always believed that it was all her fault as a master…
Jiang Chen’s plan was simple.
Rather than letting Xiao Hongyi live with guilt forever, he would rather embrace the villain label and show Xiao Hongyi that this was his true nature!
No need for her to feel guilty! This was also part of the original story.
“How dare you speak to your Master like that? Go back and reflect on your mistakes!”
Xiao Hongyi was furious and immediately scolded him.
“Alright.”
Jiang Chen turned back cheerfully with his hands behind his head.
Jiang Lianyue thought for a moment and followed him with small steps.
Xiao Hongyi wanted to stop her but then dismissed the idea.
“It’s good to let Lianyue watch over him to keep him from speaking out of turn! Anyway, I can rush over immediately if something happens.”
She thought it was a good idea.
“Thank you very much, Ninth Peak’s Peak Master.”
Ma Wu, who had been scared stiff, bowed in gratitude.
Actually, he had wanted to leave earlier, but he didn’t dare to as Jiang Lianyue hadn’t left!
Just thinking about the scene from before sent shivers down his spine!
“Elder Wu, there’s no need for such formalities.”
Xiao Hongyi made a gesture as if to help him up.
With a sense of relief from having survived a disaster, Ma Wu said, “Ninth Peak’s Peak Master, I think Jiang Lianyue has gone mad, and it must be because of Jiang Chen. You should investigate this thoroughly and call upon the Hall of Enforcement if necessary…”
“Quiet!”
Xiao Hongyi interrupted coldly: “The affairs of Ninth Peak are none of Elder Ma’s concern. I know how to teach my disciples!”
“…My apologies for speaking out of turn.”
Ma Wu bowed again.
Xiao Hongyi’s protectiveness of her disciples was well-known throughout the Jiuyan Sect.
However, he believed that sooner or later, Xiao Hongyi would see through Jiang Chen’s despicable nature, strip him of his cultivation, and expel him from the sect!
Alas!
With this thought, Ma Wu sighed deeply in his heart.
People like him, who truly cared for the sect without any personal bias, were rare in the Jiuyan Sect…
……
At the mountainside of Ninth Peak, in front of a wooden pavilion.
All the way, Jiang Chen felt a chill down his spine, and now that he had arrived at his dwelling, he could only turn around helplessly.
“Fifth Junior Sister, Master has ordered me to reflect on my mistakes. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to keep following me?”
“What’s inappropriate about it?”
Jiang Lianyue feigned confusion, “Didn’t Eldest Senior Brother also think that Lianyue has gone mad? Then just treat me as if I’m mad, and naturally, there’s no need to reason with a madwoman.”
Being mad is the biggest problem, okay?! Jiang Chen complained inwardly.
Perhaps he could predict the behavior of a sane person, but how could he predict a madwoman?
What if Jiang Lianyue went crazy and decided to attack him with a sword?
“Believe it or not, I’ll hit you if you don’t leave?”
Jiang Chen clenched his fist again, looking fierce and threatening.
“I don’t believe it. The current Eldest Senior Brother can’t beat me.”
“…”
Jiang Lianyue shook her head with a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Although it was true, was there really a need to say it out loud? Do you think villains have no sense of embarrassment?
While mentally complaining, he actually observed every frown and smile of Jiang Lianyue.
Her eyes were clear, and her logic was still sharp. No matter how he looked at her, she didn’t seem like a madwoman…
Could it be that this woman wasn’t crazy? Pretending to be insane and stupid just to kill me?
Jiang Chen secretly speculated.
In the end, he decided to give it a try!
“Junior Sister, this place is secluded, and now it’s just you and me, a man and a woman alone. It’s natural that your Eldest Senior Brother starts having some improper thoughts!”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took a step forward while extending his hands and wiggling his fingers. With a pair of eyes full of lechery, he ogled Jiang Lianyue’s body while showing a grin.
Seeing such behavior, he believed that any normal woman would be scared away.
But what happened next left Jiang Chen frozen in place.
With a slight blush on her cheeks, Jiang Lianyue wriggled into his arms like an eel.
She buried her head in Jiang Chen’s chest, her delicate hands clinging to his waist as if afraid of losing him.
With the soft and fragrant beauty in his arms, Jiang Chen hadn’t even begun to fully appreciate the sensation when he saw Jiang Lianyue’s shoulders trembling slightly, her voice barely audible.
“As long as Eldest Senior Brother is willing, Lianyue is okay with anything…”
Alas!
It seems my Fifth Junior Sister has truly gone mad…
Jiang Chen looked up at the sky with a face full of regret, yet his hands still wandered around.
