Lustful Depravity: The Villain system!-Chapter 38 - 15) Commit suicide.
Chapter 38 - 15) Commit suicide.
"He has nothing to speak..."
The one who spoke was Ningxue.
"Oh! I thought he had something to say," Zhao Fan added while he turned his head and looked at the Fox girl.
She seems to be injured.
He heard a battle but he was too focused on cultivation hoping he could at least hit the bottleneck, alas, things didn't go as he wished.
He then turned his head at a middle-aged man from the Bai family.
"I will give you three breaths of time, commit suicide..." The tone was cold and sharp, sending chills.
Heeding this, the middle-aged man looked horrified and looked at Bai Rouxi.
He was the servant of the Bai family.
And the one who attacked the nine-tail fox.
Bai Rouxi, couldn't help but lower her head, how was she supposed to help when the servant acted on his own?
At the same time, Ye Chen who heard gritted his teeth.
Saying someone to commit suicide over such a trivial matter? Isn't this pathetic?
At the same time, Ningxue also looked at Zhao Fan in a new light.
...
"Young master, how about giving me some face and overlooking this matter," Bai Rouxi said.
Bai Family is powerful compared to the Zhao family, surely, Zhao Fan, being intelligent will give them some face right?
But, meh.
"Indeed, How can I not give the daughter of the Bai family some face, so, how about it? Tell him to cripple himself and roll," Zhao Fan uttered, his eyes gleaming with cold light.
Always make sure to fight weighting the pros and cons.
You can't act this way to some powerful young masters and young misses, but, this?
He is just a servant, how courageous of him to offend the Young Master Zhao, the number 1 genius, by hurting his 'mount' that is meant to be ridden?
Did this stupid Daoist never think what might happen next?
Of course, if it's just a friendly duel, Zhao Fan would let off such matters, but this?
It seems no one noticed that the fox girl has been poisoned.
The audacity.
However, he himself didn't knew about this poison, it was the soul spirit of the Immortal that told to him.
Of course, there is no way she can lie because, Zhao Fan has left his imprint on her consciousness.
Otherwise, there could be the possibility of sowing discord with wrong information.
...
This?
Bai Rouxi looked at Zhao Fan, he didn't even bother giving a good face.
She wanted to stomp her foot to vent her anger and frustration, the audacity to not give the Bai family, any face.
Good! Good! Good!
However, she knows this servant.
He is GuGu.
A fairly talented individual.
He is 163 years old, and is in the peak ninth stage of the void refining realm.
He is also a void cultivator and can manipulate space.
So, fighting the fox girl wasn't a problem for him.
How can she let such a person cripple himself?
He is the second strongest powerhouse among the Bai Family present here.
If the speaker was anyone besides Zhao Fan, whose identity happens to be the young master of the Zhao family.
He would have killed him instantly on the spot.
...
"Young Master Zhao, forgive this one for just this one time, I made a serious mistake, it was supposed to be a simple duel, I didn't knew she was your servant," GuGu spoke while kneeling.
"Oh!? Serious mistake... So you think I am a fool? Hand over the antidote for the poison,"
"What!?"
"What!?"
Everyone looked at Fox girl, even, Ningxue, who is the strongest one present here couldn't detect any sign of poison on her.
"Th-This!?" GuGu began to sweat from his brows.
Certainly, Zhao Fan needed to find out, why he did this, who ordered it, and for what?
Looking at Bai Rouxi, it's unlikely she ordered him.
Perhaps the elders or patriarch of the Bai family ordered this? If so, why?
And asking too much might be disastrous.
Thus, it's better to be on the moral high ground first.
-----
Bai Rouxi's delicate fingers clenched tightly, her long nails pressing into her palm.
The situation was spiraling out of control.
She had underestimated Zhao Fan.
At first, she thought he would back down, as any rational person would when faced with the Bai family's authority.
After all, the Zhao family might be powerful, but they weren't omnipotent.
Making an enemy of the Bai family over a mere servant? That was sheer recklessness.
And yet...
Zhao Fan wasn't backing down. He didn't even flinch.
Bai Rouxi's breathing became slightly uneven as she felt her position weakening.
If she conceded here, it would be a stain on the Bai family's reputation.
Others would say she bent her head to Zhao Fan, that the Bai family was too weak to protect even their own servant.
Not to mention, GuGu is a powerful ally in this exploration.
It would be a disaster to lose him.
But if she fought this?
Her gaze flickered toward GuGu, who still knelt in submission.
His face was tense, his body rigid, but Bai Rouxi knew him well enough to sense the desperation behind his compliance.
And yet, even he had chosen to kneel to someone weaker than him?
Why?
Because Zhao Fan was not giving him a choice.
But the pressure of Zhao Fan was truly strong.
She could feel the very air bowing in the presence of Zhao Fan.
Bai Rouxi felt a strange sensation coil in her chest.
A mixture of anger, fear, and... respect?
'This man... He's not just a reckless fool, and what is this poisoning, Is this woman poisoned? Why can't I sense it, Is he sprouting nonsense but it doesn't seem like it... Ughh,'
Bai Rouxi bit her lip.

What was the right choice here?
She could fight for GuGu.
If it came to an all-out battle, she was confident in her own strength.
But the outcome?
A direct clash between the Zhao and Bai families would be inevitable.
Could she bear that responsibility?
'Damn it... Why did GuGu have to act on his own?!'
She stole a glance at him.
Poison?
He actually poisoned the fox girl?
What the hell was he thinking?
From his nervousness, Zhao Fan doesn't seem to be lying.
If it were just a normal battle, she could have smoothed things over.
But this?
This might be an assassination attempt.
No matter how she framed it, GuGu was in the wrong.
Her mind was in chaos.
Was this truly his decision alone? Or...
Wait!! Did someone from the family give him orders? After all, Everyone have their own way of contacting elders.
Maybe, elders didn't like the growth rate of Zhao Fan thus, they believed in removing the helpers around him.
That thought sent a chill down her spine.
If the Bai family had truly ordered this, that meant they wanted to test Zhao Fan.
Or worse provoke him.
But why?
She met Zhao Fan's gaze, and for the first time in a long while, Bai Rouxi felt... suffocated.
His eyes weren't just cold.
They were bloodthirsty.
'Perhaps what I am thinking... He already knows,'
She could tell.
Zhao Fan wasn't just demanding the antidote.
'He's forcing me to choose,'
If she protected GuGu, she would become an accomplice.
If she abandoned him, she would weaken the Bai family's authority.
No matter what, Zhao Fan won.
He already has the high ground, steeping on the morality of human beliefs.
Bai Rouxi's heartbeat quickened.
Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out.
What could she say?
She clenched her fist and looked at GuGu.
"Did you poison her?"
She asked.
