Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 770 - 440: Bro, how did your bone break?_2

Just as Cen Yueyue stepped forward to argue, not only did the cultivator named Guang Daoyuan vanish, but her own man also disappeared.

This scene made Qingluan unable to hold back a laugh. With her sharp eyes, when she saw the grievance and suppressed anger in Cen Yueyue's eyes, she understood that what the other party said was most likely accurate, even if there were discrepancies, they wouldn't be too outrageous.

Just when Cen Yueyue drew her sword and looked around blankly, someone finally arrived on a flying sword with an embarrassed expression and leisurely dragged the already twenty-meter-flung Guang Daoyuan back.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speed up; he truly couldn't fly fast. The profound influence of this array around him was overwhelming, and while flying over, he began to defend himself softly.

"Ahem, the situation was urgent just now, I didn't know the two young ladies were here to rescue someone, so to prevent him from being affected, I threw him out to save his life."

"Brother, brother? Brother Guang?"

He gently shook the corpse in his hand… uh, Guang Daoyuan.

His eyes were tightly shut, totally unconscious. Actually, he'd been wandering aimlessly in this damned place for a day, hunted by demon beasts, gravely injured, or else he would never have asked Jiang Feng for help. The man was saved, but now, exhausted and barely holding on.

As a result, Cen Yueyue noticed someone trying to manipulate her heart, immediately erupted, and although she deliberately controlled the range, the terrifying aura and instant rush of fire waves already made the man who was barely holding up crumble.

Jiang Feng's twenty-meter throw was the final straw, normally he would be fine, but now he was already bewildered, the throw made him unconscious, rolled five or six times and crashed into a tree, blacking out on the spot.

Seeing no response from the man, Jiang Feng panicked.

"Oh crap, dude, don't mess around, wake up and help me argue a bit, buddy, don't sleep, buddy!"

He freaked out.

Not just to prove his innocence, but worried he might have accidentally killed someone; his hands hadn't stained innocent blood till now, killing guilty people and innocent ones caused different psychological burdens.

As the saying goes, if you take someone's money, you help solve their disasters. Having benefited, you ought to protect the person thoroughly, and if they die by your hands, not to mention the presence of Qingluan, even his own psychological defense line would collapse.

His expression was so frightened he almost threw the person on the spot, but just steadying the man, he burst out another curse.

"…how is every bone broken, damn it."

Utterly dumbfounded.

Scared, the person immediately put the man down and raised hands indicating he didn't break the bones, further enraging Xiao Yu.

No wait, even her scales started rising.

"You scoundrel! Not only did you disrespect the young lady, but also assaulted someone right here, in front of me…"

Now, even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash away the stain.

Even Cen Yueyue's face twitched a few times, not expecting such an unfortunate event shortly after arriving in Dongyue, before the two could argue, Qingluan proactively stepped forward and said, "Enough, Xiao Yu, back down, I know what's true."

With one sentence, the serpent woman was silenced, walking forward without any caution.

She wasn't too confident in her own strength, but was very confident about her ability to read people; seeing the panic in Jiang Feng's eyes, she knew this incident was most likely a misunderstanding, though he might not be a gentleman, he certainly had moral boundaries.

The aura of the other woman was somewhat familiar, when placing the tongue in the air to gather scents, she acutely detected the scent of Gu Worms; this woman likely hailed from the Southern Border, but that wasn't important; what mattered was these two, in their twenties, had already achieved such success.

One of them was even a disciple of Purple Cloud Palace, indicating their distinguished background; though Blood Ganoderma was a rare treasure, claiming it was precious enough to make two talents fight for it was exaggerating, offering it as a token of thanks was believable.

She slowly crouched down.

The aura of Sunflower Water spread through her body, although water wasn't as adept at healing as wood, it still carried the nurturing effect of continuous life, her expression was slightly grave but soon relaxed, clearly displaying an irresistible joy.

Evidently, she wasn't putting on a show.

Many East Sea Clan people intervened to save Dongyue Disciples merely to fulfill their duties, some aimed to maintain their great image among the people, securing their reign, rather than wholeheartedly wanting to save people, but Qingluan was different.

Judging from her now relaxed expression, upon seeing this Dongyue Disciple wasn't in mortal danger, she felt genuine joy, as well as reassurance that Jiang Feng and others didn't lie; she didn't want to break ties with these two unless absolutely necessary.

"You both spoke well."

"He fainted due to excessive depletion of his aura and holding his breath, suffered many injuries but all from spiritual beasts, all bird pecks and wolf claw marks."

"No life-threatening injuries, but these wounds would require two months of rest to heal; given his realm, surviving seven hundred miles deep is rare, the wolf poison invading his body should be from an ordinary Demon King."

"Without your intervention, he likely wouldn't survive; Qingluan misunderstood earlier, my apologies to both of you."

Sitting kneeling on the ground, performing Daoist skills with both hands, water waves encased Guang Daoyuan's body; seeing this, Xiao Yu, though still vigilant, carefully approached after her young lady's assurance.

She promptly grabbed Guang Daoyuan's unbroken arm, then rolled back his sleeve to reveal his flesh, opened her mouth, allowing her snake fangs glistening with green light to bite right into it!

The scene left Jiang Feng dumbstruck, nearly unable to resist rushing in and dragging the person away, even Cen Yueyue was puzzled, not knowing what this was about, as if seeing their curiosity, the tone remarkably gentle.

"Please don't mind, this is our clan's Secret Technique."

"If you've heard of the She family, you should know the traits of our clan members; while snake venom can seal throats with blood, it can also save lives, just depends on how it's used."

"His broken bones cannot be healed for now, but clearing internal wolf poison still requires the methods of us East Sea Clan... pardon me."

With these words, the tattoos encircling Qingluan began to slowly writhe.

A large snake of alternating green and black coiled from her body upward, from her waist directly ascending to her neck, snake eyes alive like filled with life, then quickly coiling around Qingluan's deeply posed arm, presenting a ridiculous illusion.

It's as if her delicate jade hand had transformed into the snake's body, even the scales on the tattoo seemed vividly alive.

The razor-sharp nails penetrated the body like venomous fangs, continuously injecting toxins into the system, yet this bizarre scene unexpectedly made the already unconscious Guang Daoyuan stir slightly, his complexion began to recover from green-black to normal, his aura became increasingly apparent.

She disliked Dongyue.

Even though she was from Dongyue, it was her homeland, she had no pleasant memories there; since her early memories, she lived in a moderately prosperous city in Dongyue's southwest. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

But every time she heard family theories like "sacrificing oneself for all beings in Dongyue," she would nod in agreement outwardly, but inside felt resentment and rebellion against fate, lacking the morality and daring to sacrifice.

Her personality never cared about anyone causing havoc in Dongyue and snatching treasures, after all, her father gave her… no, correct that, gave the young members of She mansion orders for friendly martial exchanges.

She was just an ordinary woman, an ordinary woman, if not for ——

But it didn't mean she'd stand by while Dongyue Disciples were bullied.

Back then the She family was still ——

Xiao Yu continued twisting her hips menacingly, though the few before her were realms ahead of her, but she wasn't meant for frontal combat, ——

Seeing Qingluan's outwardly gentle yet secretly murderous gaze, Jiang Feng finally realized the foolishness both of them had committed.
