The Female Lead of Fortune Dies; the Child of Fortune's Killing Intent and Helplessness

When Ye Chen heard that his family would be killed, his expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly protested.

Good, Di Juetian thought.

If not for his villain halo, this explanation would probably have moved the female lead of fortune even more.

Honesty was sometimes a kind of confession, too.

But with the villain halo, things were different.

Even though Li Xi knew he had said it for his family's sake,

she still couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

She thought back to when she had been at Di Juetian's side.

Everyone who saw her had treated her with utmost respect.

But now, she had nearly lost her life.

Even though she knew Ye Chen was deceiving her, she still couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

"Ye Chen, let me do one last thing for you. Let's pretend we never met!"

Li Xi looked at Ye Chen, tenderness in her eyes. Then it vanished!

"Brother Juetian, as long as you let him and his family go,

I'll agree to your terms. From now on, I'll quietly stay by your side as a caged canary."

Li Xi closed her eyes, then opened them again.

She didn't spare Ye Chen another glance.

"Heh, are you even worthy?"

Di Juetian smiled.

Li Xi was a little dumbfounded.

"Who do you really think you are?"

"If I think you're useful, you can be a caged canary. If you're useless, you're worth less than a dog. Don't think so highly of yourself. You're just a Nine Yin Saint Body. Did you really think I cared?"

"Besides, as a cultivation furnace, you're nothing special. If I put out the word, how many people with physiques stronger than yours would volunteer to be my furnace?"

When Di Juetian said this,

Li Xi's expression changed.

She looked at Di Juetian, disbelief in her eyes.

The Li Family members' expressions changed as well.

"Divine Son, although you look down on Li Xi, she can still serve tea and water, wash clothes and fold bedding. She can do some menial work."

"That's right. Li Xi can still do those things."

Ye Chen's face darkened.

The woman he loved was dispensable to Di Juetian, and now Di Juetian even looked down on her.

Yet Ye Chen had always treasured her as a precious jewel.

Was this the gulf between them?

"Ye Chen, have you made your choice?"

"I..."

Seeing that things had nearly run their course, Di Juetian lost interest. The original owner of his body had come here intending to consume this fruit and control his own Devil Qi.

Now that he could control his Devil Qi at will, this fruit was of no use anymore.

Hearing the impatience in Di Juetian's voice,

Li Xi began to panic.

She knew what she would have to face next if Di Juetian really gave up on her.

Her plan to save Ye Chen would also go up in smoke!

Di Juetian moved a finger slightly.

A vast, overwhelming presence appeared.

Two black dragons appeared,

coiling around Di Juetian's finger.

Di Juetian moved his finger slightly.

The two black dragons roared.

In the blink of an eye, their bodies grew to a hundred zhang in size.

"Roar!"

The two dragons moved, and over a hundred members of the Ye Family perished.

The Qi of blood filled the entire hall.

"Ye Chen, do it, for your family."

After watching Di Juetian strike, Li Xi was still struggling.

But then Di Juetian suddenly sent her a voice transmission.

"As long as you kill Ye Chen,

your mother won't die. You don't want your mother to die, do you?"

Li Xi's expression changed drastically.

She suddenly remembered that her mother was still in Di Juetian's hands!

She had been so foolish before, thinking Di Juetian was treating her mother for her sake. It seemed he had been using her mother to keep her in check all along!

All so she wouldn't rebel!

Di Juetian was so ruthless!

So she really was dispensable!

Even though she knew, what could she do? She didn't dare show it.

In her eyes, Di Juetian was now a devil, a devil through and through.

A devil without a trace of humanity.

But when she thought of that gentle face in her mind,

Li Xi felt so heartbroken she couldn't breathe.

Her mother had suffered grievous injuries. Only a powerful spirit medicine could save her.

Even if the Li Family sold everything, they couldn't afford half of one.

Di Juetian paid no attention to Li Xi's anguished struggle. The original owner of his body had hidden Li Xi's mother to keep Li Xi from rebelling.

He had hidden Li Xi's mother away.

After all, his secret couldn't be revealed.

Li Xi slowly came before Ye Chen.

She reached out and stroked his face.

"I know you love me, and I love you too. Do you remember what we said before? I know how helpless you feel, and my heart aches for you, but I have things I want to protect too."

Ye Chen was still moved by her words

when he suddenly felt pain in his chest.

A sword had already pierced it.

"If I kill him, can I live?"

Li Xi's expression was complicated.

At the same time, she felt relieved.

She knew Ye Chen's heart was on the right side of his chest.

"Kill him, and you can live."

"Pretend to be dead in a moment. He doesn't know your heart is on the right."

Li Xi said this.

Hearing her words, Ye Chen's expression changed as something occurred to him.

Then his expression flickered.

Seeing this, Di Juetian sneered.

Li Xi pulled the sword out of Ye Chen's chest.

She thrust it in again.

Li Xi's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

She stabbed at the left side of his chest once more.

Di Juetian casually moved a finger.

Did they really think he had no trump cards left, or that he was blind?

Li Xi looked bewildered, but there was also killing intent in her eyes. Her gaze was just like Di Juetian's.

The sword was extremely fast.

But Ye Chen was a child of fortune, after all.

As the sword came at him, he suddenly turned and looked into Li Xi's eyes.

Her eyes held only killing intent and resentment toward him.

Ye Chen's expression changed. Li Xi wanted to kill him; she had been trying to lull him into lowering his guard.

What a ruthless woman!

Ye Chen was heartbroken. For this woman, he had offended someone he shouldn't have. His master had died, and many of his clansmen had died too!

He had done it all for this woman!

When Di Juetian had pressured him, he would rather have killed himself than kill her!

Yet now she wanted to kill him!

Li Qingfeng had been right!

He was a fool, an idiot!

Love, solemn vows of undying devotion—it had all been a lie!

Ye Chen reacted!

He moved back and reached out with one hand to grab Li Xi's sword.

He clenched his other hand into a fist.

A powerful presence emerged.

A smile suddenly appeared on Li Xi's face.

"You're the one I want to protect. If I didn't force you, you wouldn't have fought back. See you in the next life."

A gentle voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind.

The radiance of his fist struck.

Li Xi's body flew backward.

She looked at Ye Chen tenderly.

Then she fell to the ground.

She was no longer breathing.

Di Juetian smiled casually.

He had planted a Chaos Demon Seed in Li Xi earlier.

Just now, Di Juetian had been controlling Li Xi's divine sense.

See? It worked, just like that. So simple.

Seeing that Li Xi was dead,

the Li Family members began to panic.

The Ye Family members breathed a sigh of relief.

Their young master had finally come to his senses.

At that moment, Ye Chen

looked at his fist,

then at Li Xi, who had been sent flying and was no longer breathing.

He thought of what Li Xi had said as she was dying.

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly turned red!

"Why? Why? Why did it have to be like this?"

"Weren't you going to kill me? Get up! Keep trying!"

Ye Chen roared madly, his voice filling the entire hall!

After roaring, Ye Chen fell silent.

He looked at Li Xi from a distance.

As he walked toward her, his legs gave way, and he fell!

Ye Chen had already been injured, and with his heart clenching from the shock, he couldn't even stand!

He crawled toward Li Xi bit by bit!

He came close to her

and held her in his arms!

"Xi'er, open your eyes! It's me, Ye Chen!"

"Xi'er, look at me! Have you forgotten the promises we made to each other?"

Ye Chen was like a man possessed!

He kept muttering under his breath!

Suddenly, Li Xi's body turned to dust and vanished into the air!

Ye Chen froze. When he came to his senses, panic appeared on his face!

He reached out with both hands, clawing wildly at the air!

"No, don't! Xi'er, come back! Don't!"

"Xi'er, why?!"

"Di Juetian, it's all your fault! All your fault! If it weren't for you, Xi'er wouldn't have died!"

"Xi'er, wait for me. Wait for me! I'll avenge you right now!"

"Di Juetian, I'm going to kill you!"

With a crazed look on his face, Ye Chen turned and stared at Di Juetian with blood-red eyes.

"Di Juetian, may you die a horrible death!"

The sixth level of the Hollow Void Realm rose straight to the seventh, then the eighth.

It did not stop until the ninth level.

Di Juetian didn't care in the least. These sons of fortune were all unreasonable beings.

He just had to get used to it.

[Master, for killing a heroine of fortune, you have obtained 800 villain points.]

"Don't you want your family anymore?"

Di Juetian spoke softly.

"Fuck... you."

Before Ye Chen could say anything more, he saw several members of the Ye Family suddenly collapse.

There was no one left beside his father who could die.

"What were you going to say?"

Di Juetian asked again.

"You, you, you, you're so handsome."

Ye Chen clenched his hands, feeling as though his heart were bleeding.

His eyes were filled with madness.

He told himself inwardly to stay calm, to stay calm.

But the look in someone's eyes when they wanted to knife a person couldn't be hidden.

[Because of Master's scheme, the son of fortune killed the heroine of fortune. Heavenly Mandate points decreased by 300, and Master's villain points increased by 300.]
