How To Survive as a Villain-Chapter 158: I Remember My Lover, Who Is Far Away From Me.

Chapter 158: I Remember My Lover, Who Is Far Away From Me.1

“Is General Yang not relieved yet? How long have they been beating him? If they continue to beat him, that man will be killed, right?”

“You’re still asking about this when you know how General Yang’s temper is? That man will certainly die!”

“Tsk, General Yang has been kicking that man’s stomach for so long, that sooner or later, he’ll end up vomiting blood.”

“Didn’t you see how angry General Yang was when he came back just now? He even made his horse step directly over that man’s leg! Even if he survives, how can his leg recuperate? He’ll be destined to become a cripple for the rest of his life!”

“After all, the Emperor of the Southern Yan Kingdom slipped away from under his nose. Right now, General Yang’s temperament is… even worse…. sigh.”

“Huh? Where’s xiao-Bao? I didn’t see him today.”

…

Under the starry sky in the wilderness, the morning light in the sky was dim. Yang Liye, who was ruthlessly venting his anger, finally got tired of kicking Xiao YuAn and stood aside to rest for a while. Then, he squatted down in front of Xiao YuAn, pinched his chin, and said: “What was it that you wanted to achieve? Was it worth it? Wouldn’t it have been better to not lie to me? You wouldn’t have been in this situation if you were sincere.”

Xiao YuAn couldn’t hear what Yang Liye was saying to him. After all, his ears were full of lingering hissing sounds. His hands were nailed to the ground with daggers, and the exposed skin of his body was covered with black and purple bruises. Because of the strong beating, almost all of his internal organs were displaced, and the blood he spit out, who knows how many times, had stained his chin and chest. Except for his eyes that could barely see, his whole body was numb with pain, and Xiao YuAn felt that none of his limbs and bones were under his control.

Naturally, Yang Liye didn’t get an answer. He was filled with anger, but he was also tired of beating Xiao YuAn. So he simply stood up, put his arms on his hips, and took a long breath. Then, he reached out and pulled out the dagger from Xiao YuAn’s left hand.

A faint whimper came from Xiao YuAn’s mouth, which was more like he didn’t even have the strength to complain about the pain rather than try to suppress a scream.

“Let me think.” Yang Liye grabbed his sleeve with one hand and wiped the blood on the dagger with it. “It would be too easy to end your life with just one strike. Would you prefer to bleed to death? Or would you rather have your flesh cut out bit by bit? Maybe I should cut out your flesh, because this way it will hurt even more… But, can you even still feel the pain? Hmm?”

After Yang Liye said this, he used his foot to turn Xiao YuAn over and kicked him in the knee again: “Hmm? If I ask you something, you have to answer it.”

Xiao YuAn’s knee had been trampled by the horse before, and the bone had long been fractured. At this point, when he was kicked again, he unconsciously shrank up in pain. As a result, his right hand, which was still nailed to the ground by a dagger, was inevitably cut open a bit more.

Yang Liye looked at Xiao YuAn laying on the ground, as if he were looking at a dead man, and while doing so, he was playing with the dagger in his hand for a while. Then he finally made a decision, squatted down slowly, gesticulated something, and finally moved his hand towards Xiao YuAn’s eyes.

“Report! General Yang!”

Suddenly, a Deputy General came to report. He knelt in front of Yang Liye, clasped his fists, and shouted: “The rear urgently summoned General Yang back to discuss matters!”

However, Yang Liye continued to squat irrationally in front of Xiao YuAn. After a while, he finally stood up, patted the dust on his body, and heard the Deputy General say: “General, we shouldn’t be late. We must hurry!”

“Yes, we’ve already used that trick, so it’s time to reorganize the troops and snatch back the towns that were taken away before.” Yang Liye muttered to himself. Then he waved at the Deputy General, and pointed at Xiao YuAn: “Find some people and bury him alive. Remember to bury him alive, you hear me?”

The Deputy General nodded and bowed head.

Satisfied with the response, Yang Liye squatted down and patted Xiao YuAn’s face: “Young brother, have a nice trip, I won’t send you. You see, I’m being merciful to you. At least, I didn’t let your body be exposed to the wilderness where the wild dogs would eat your flesh, didn’t I?”

Xiao YuAn was still unable to hear anything, when he suddenly felt as if the sky was spinning and struggled to open his eyes to look upward. It was daybreak, and there was no moon nor sun in the sky. There was only one star shining in the East. Xiao YuAn swallowed a mouthful of blood and felt that his body heat and consciousness were being pulled away from his body. At this, Xiao YuAn tried to raise a hand and reach for that lonely star in the sky, but in the end, he could only move his fingers. He then exhausted all the strength he had left to murmur: “Yan-ge…..”

After he managed to say that, he fell into the chaos of darkness.

-A clarification to what the general meant with “we already used that trick” He most likely meant the trap they put YHQ into, surrounding his army at a cliff. –

Aaahhhghhhh I really hate that m******* 🤬🤬

XYA calling YHQ’s name 😭😭😭😭 my heart 💔💔💔 I can’t stand this pain 💔 just want them to be happy ゜・．（ｉДｉ）｡：ﾟ
