She Actually Thought a Murderous Yandere Was Handsome

The instant Su Ying put on the Invisibility Cloak, specks of light behind her betrayed her whereabouts.

Feng Moyuan followed, his face dark.

Su Ying reached the barrier entrance without trouble, took a handful of powder from her ring's storage space, and scattered it outward.

In an instant, the guards collapsed.

"Hurry up and break this barrier. The Demon Realm is so creepy at night, it's terrifying." Su Ying was thoroughly disgusted.

Feng Moyuan's eyes darkened.

Did Su Ying hate the Demon Realm that much?

What was so good about the Cultivation Sect?

[Host, cracking it now.]

The system answered, then began chatting with her.

[Host, do you feel a chill behind you?]

Su Ying stared intently at the barrier before her. "What chill? All I want right now is to break this damned barrier!"

[Host...]

The system was speechless.

"You're a system, and you can feel chills down your back?" Su Ying asked again.

[It's just a feeling. I keep feeling like something is following us.]

The system could not explain what that sensation was.

"The Demon Realm is creepy to begin with. I heard that demon king has plenty of blood on his hands. He's a sicko who kills without blinking." Su Ying looked back. Aside from the fallen Demon Realm soldiers, there was no one behind her.

At that moment, Feng Moyuan was standing close to Su Ying.

When she turned, her lips nearly brushed him.

His heart abruptly began pounding faster, and he immediately stepped back.

Finding no one, Su Ying urged again, "Why are you taking so long? Hurry up."

[Host, despite the system's efforts, this barrier cannot be broken. Analysis indicates that the Demon Venerable placed it. Breaking it requires either an expert above the Nascent Soul realm or a drop of blood from the Demon Venerable's fingertip.]

The system reported helplessly.

"What the hell? I spent nearly a thousand points, and now you're telling me you can't break the barrier? What kind of shoddy products are you selling in your Shop?" Su Ying cursed. "You're such a rip-off!"

[Host, I'm very sorry.]

The system was helpless too. This was its first encounter with this barrier, and it lacked the ability to open it.

Besides, systems like it gained abilities as their hosts leveled up.

Although Su Ying had just advanced, she was clearly still below the Nascent Soul realm.

"No. I have to get out today."

"What are you doing?" Feng Moyuan's voice rang out, deep and ominous.

"Did you hear that?" Su Ying froze, an inexplicable chill creeping down her back.

Was she imagining things?

[Host, I heard it. It's the Demon Venerable.]

An inexplicable despair seeped into the system's tone.

It was over, it was over. Its host was going to meet an early end here.

Su Ying slowly turned around and looked behind her.

Feng Moyuan stood not far away.

She did not dare make a sound, still clinging to the hope that, with the Invisibility Cloak on, Feng Moyuan could not possibly see her.

"Still refusing to show yourself?" Feng Moyuan's voice was sinister, veins bulging on his forehead.

Su Ying kept her lips tightly pressed together, refusing to reveal herself.

"Then don't blame me for showing no mercy!" Feng Moyuan swept his sleeve, sending a sinister gust straight at Su Ying.

In an instant, her invisible cloak tore apart, leaving Su Ying fully exposed before Feng Moyuan.

"Su Ying, is Xiao Muchen really that wonderful..." His voice grew even darker.

Su Ying's legs trembled with fright. "Why am I so unlucky? I only wanted to escape. Why did this walking plague have to show up? And what does any of this have to do with Xiao Muchen?"

Killing intent instantly filled Feng Moyuan's violet eyes.

Su Ying shuddered again and dropped straight to her knees, saying with utmost deference, "Demon Venerable, please hear my excu-no, please let me explain!"

Feng Moyuan raised his eyes. Their exchange had drawn quite a crowd.

In an instant, torches illuminated the entire barrier entrance.

Su Ying's tear-filled eyes were clearly visible in the light.

"Demon Venerable, if I said I sleepwalked here, would you believe me?"

Everyone thought, Does she take us for fools? How could she sleepwalk all the way here?

Receiving no answer, Su Ying could only pinch her thigh hard and continue, "Demon Venerable, I'm a disciple of the Cultivation Sect. Although you captured me and made me your prisoner, my heart is still rooted in the Cultivation Sect. Wherever I am, as soon as I close my eyes, I unconsciously head back toward it."

Listening, the system was utterly speechless.

[Host, you really know how to spin a tale.]

"Shut up. You wouldn't help when it mattered, and now you're mocking me. Are you even a good system?" Su Ying inwardly scorned it as tears pattered down her face.

"I didn't come this way on purpose. Please spare me."

Feng Moyuan stepped forward and caught Su Ying's chin in his hand.

Their hot breaths mingled, and in the firelight, an alluring blush colored her cheeks.

"Is the Cultivation Sect really that good?"

"N-no." Su Ying denied it, but inwardly said, "Obviously. It's a hundred times better than this place."

After all, the Cultivation Sect had abundant spiritual energy, no one controlled her, and she could spend her days blissfully in love with a young hunk. Wasn't that a hundred times better than living in fear here?

Feng Moyuan's expression darkened further.

Su Ying inwardly pleaded for help. "What's going on? I already denied it, so why is he still scowling? Do I owe him something?"

[Host, may you rest in peace.]

Su Ying gritted her teeth and said again, "Demon Venerable, I really wasn't trying to escape. If you don't believe me, lock me up. Then you'll see that I still can't help heading toward the Cultivation Sect. To you, I'm just a nobody. Although I disrupted your cultivation, that's all in the past. Why not let me go?"

The onlookers were even more speechless.

Let her go?

Their Demon Venerable was no fool.

Their Demon Venerable was a man who repaid every slight. How could he possibly release someone who had disrupted his cultivation?

Feng Moyuan straightened and turned his back to her.

The flames blazed. As Su Ying watched his back silhouetted against the firelight, she actually found him rather handsome.

What the hell...

She actually thought a murderous yandere was handsome.

Feng Moyuan slowly said, "Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish."

Joy leaped in Su Ying's heart, but the very next instant, Feng Moyuan's words plunged her into despair.

"Guards."

"At your command." The Demon Realm soldiers immediately knelt.

"Take her to the dungeon," Feng Moyuan said.

Su Ying's eyes widened in disbelief.

The dungeon?

Had she heard him wrong?

The dungeon?

Two Demon Realm soldiers hauled Su Ying up.

"Demon Venerable, we can talk this through."

"There's no need for the dungeon."

"I think that side hall is perfectly fine. If you're unhappy, just lock me in there and put a few extra locks on the doors. It'll work just as well."

"Demon Venerable, I was wrong."

"I'll never do it again!"

Su Ying's pig-slaughtering squeals faded into the distance, and a trace of suppressed emotion flashed through Feng Moyuan's violet eyes.

Would everyone choose to leave him?

The Demon Realm soldiers threw Su Ying into the dungeon.

With a thud, she landed face-first, like a dog gnawing the dirt.
