The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!-Chapter 130: Yang Affinity!

Su Mo paused slightly as the memories continued to unfold within his mind.

The second body...

The scene was simple, yet suffocating.

A small house. A man returning home after work.

The moment he stepped inside, everything changed.

Two corpses lay before him.

A woman—his wife—and another man. Both naked. Both dead.

Before he could even begin to understand what had happened, before shock could fully take hold, the police arrived.

A neighbour had reported hearing gunshots.

There was no time to think. No time to react.

Everything moved too fast.

The man didn’t even get the chance to process the situation before he was taken away.

He became the suspect.

Charged with the murders of his wife and her lover.

Then convicted and imprisoned.

Su Mo let out a faint breath, his expression unchanged.

"What a miserable life..."

There was no emotion in his voice. Just a simple conclusion.

He didn’t linger on it and moved on.

Finally, the third body.

This time, something useful emerged. It contained some relevant information.

The fragments of memories of an organised plan to eliminate Ye Chen.

A group of criminals and their leader, Du Wuchen.

This prisoner had been part of his faction.

More importantly, they were the ones who had targeted Ye Chen first.

[Hmm, interesting. So, you were the trigger behind Ye Chen’s nature release.]

Su Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly.

[Someone arranged for Du Wuchen to attack Ye Chen.]

[Which means—there was also an external force interfering before the prison break.]

His thoughts moved quickly.

[Who was behind Du Wuchen?]

He already had a guess. But it wasn’t certain yet.

Su Mo opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the rows of corpses.

The next moment, his figure blurred.

He disappeared and reappeared across the room at an incredible speed, moving from one body to another without pause. Even Yang Qingxi found it difficult to follow his movements.

As for Leng Shuang, she could only see faint blurs.

"What is Master doing?" she asked, her head slightly dizzy from trying to track him.

"Probably looking for someone," Yang Qingxi replied, her arms folded as a slight frown appeared on her face.

Although she had caught parts of Su Mo’s inner thoughts, even she didn’t have the full picture yet.

’Du Wuchen... was he sent by Gu Xuan to eliminate Ye Chen?’

The thought naturally surfaced in her mind.

Given the enmity between Gu Xuan and Ye Chen, and such a perfect opportunity, add to that the previous death threat—

How could he not act?

Yang Qingxi’s suspicion aligned with Su Mo’s.

This entire incident likely had the involvement of the Gu family.

A few seconds later, Su Mo stopped.

He crouched beside a body.

"Found it."

The corpse in front of him was filled with stab wounds, its condition extremely miserable.

This was Du Wuchen.

But the moment Su Mo focused on him, his expression changed slightly.

"...Huh?"

He leaned closer, his crimson pupils observing carefully.

Something was off.

"This guy..."

Su Mo frowned.

"He’s not completely dead."

[There’s still a bit of Yang energy left inside him.]

It was extremely faint, almost negligible. But it was there.

Upon sensing Su Mo’s thoughts, Yang Qingxi’s eyes flickered with surprise.

She immediately used her spiritual sense and focused on Du Wuchen.

Just as Su Mo said, there was indeed a sliver of Yang energy remaining inside his body.

It was that tiny trace that was keeping him alive.

However, from a normal medical perspective, he was already dead.

Only a miracle could save him.

And coincidentally—

Someone present here could create that miracle.

Leng Shuang, seeing the change in their expressions, was initially confused.

But after hearing their next conversation, she understood.

"What are you going to do, Su Mo?" Yang Qingxi asked, her brows slightly furrowed. "Do you want to save him?"

Her tone carried clear disapproval.

"He’s just an ordinary criminal with some strength. What’s the point in saving him?"

To her, this was meaningless.

The target wasn’t innocent. He was a criminal with blood and countless lives in his hands.

Someone like that didn’t deserve their mercy.

Even if they saved him, he wouldn’t be of any real use.

Still, she didn’t interfere further.

It was Su Mo’s ability. He could decide what to do with it.

She was only giving her opinion.

Su Mo sighed softly. "Miss Yang, don’t you understand?"

"This guy must have an innate affinity with Yang energy. Otherwise, how could his Yang energy keep him alive for so long?"

Yang Qingxi’s expression shifted slightly, surprise flashing in her eyes before turning into contemplation.

"Can a non-cultivator have elemental affinity?" Leng Shuang asked.

After all, Su Mo hadn’t helped her determine her own affinity yet, saying it was too early.

Su Mo nodded. "As I told you before, all living beings are composed of the seven elements."

"They exist within the body."

"What matters to cultivators is affinity."

"Most people only discover their affinity after stepping onto the path of cultivation."

"But some are born with it."

"They just don’t have the means to access or control it without spiritual energy."

His gaze fell back onto Du Wuchen.

"He should have died from those injuries." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"But his innate affinity with Yang energy allowed it to keep him alive."

"If he were to cultivate, he could learn Yang techniques much faster."

Su Mo fell into brief contemplation.

Seeing this, Leng Shuang spoke.

"Then why not save him first?"

Both of them looked at her, waiting to hear her reasoning.

She shrugged and said, "You can decide later whether he’s useful or not."

"If he isn’t... I can just kill him."

Her tone remained calm. Since this guy was a criminal. She felt nothing, even if she were asked to kill him.

"Anyway, Master doesn’t expend much energy in using that technique."

Why was she certain? After all, she had first-hand experience of being healed daily by the master’s magical healing technique. If it weren’t so magical, she wouldn’t have been able to get up after being battered so badly every day.
